Remember when I asked for ressources on this? You seemed kind of interested so here is some of the ones I liked - some are in Portuguese and one is in Spanish tho, long live Nuestra América.
I might update it when my friends send me their part of the project.

This is about properties and volumes of money that go beyond your imagination, but even more importantly power to make the laws of countries private, and channeling even the population as every other resource. Right from the seats of school we’re getting ourselves in great debt for trying to get educated, the higher the education the greater the debt, so that the top students are forced to sign for private research and much needed money. With signing comes the privacy of any future discovery, even if some of it gets released, it comes at a very high cost, so that you’ll have to spend half of your life working to be able to afford it - talking about dollars hides the fact that the real cost for anything in this society is how much ‘life’ we spend on getting it! The human genome project was done with public funding, from taxpayers money - and, this is written on the official site:
“Who owns the human genome?
Every part of the genome sequenced by the Human Genome Project was made public immediately - in fact, new data on the genome is posted every 24 hours. It is true that private companies have filed thousands of patents on human genes over the past several years. We don’t know how many such patents have been filed, whether the patents will be awarded or if they’re enforceable. Most of the patent applications have not been acted upon, so we really don’t know how much, if any, of the genome can be used freely for commercial purposes.”
So… any average Joe could of “immediately” benefited from the research, but with the ‘lack of public interest’, only big corporations (you know… the ones having the researchers and laboratories) were interested in profiting after all.
Scientific research is private, art collections are private, all the greatest minds from statisticians to lawyers and experts in tax evasion (see panama papers), to the best medical doctors and medical research… even money are private but they don’t teach that in school, about the ownership of central banks, including the american FED. These private 1 percent interests make the global social agenda so it should come as no wonder that the big funding is allocated for searching evidence against global warming , and in the propaganda hiding global warming.
Again - the top 1% of the population owns as much as the rest 99% ! - even tho all that wealth… knowledge and patents, art and medicine, resources taken from the ground and energy, institutions and infrastructure, are all the fruit of all our combined work. If there is someone who did Not contribute… is those very ‘1 percent’!
CNN failed to stress this? They’ve must of been covering ‘serious problems’. After all… they’re so professional if you’re looking at their involved faces and serious acting. They’ll surely inform you when you have to bail out the country from crisis or when you have to fight a war for oil.

You’re missing out on heaps of original study tips posts and heaps of great stuff by creators, not just me! My study tips are really detailed but can be specific at times, I don’t want to have to resort to poorer quality posts or clickbait titles to bring in the activity :’(
Studyblrs are one of the biggest communities on tumblr, we can make a difference!
@staff please remove this feature! I’m an original study tips maker and this killed my activity! Tumblr is about original creators as much as reblogging, and having this option on will mean only the popular bloggers get featured more and more. It’ll be so much harder for new studyblrs to get a foot in!
Reblog to protect your own original content from being filtered!
Check your activity graphs. I’m sure you’ll find yours drops off at the same date. #spreadtheword #protectyourcontent #protectoriginalcontent
