Arendt Footnotes: Marx, Violence and the American Revolution ~ New Series on the Bryan William Brickner Blog

posted in: Cannabis Science | 0


Chicago, IL (PRWEB) February 24, 2015

Ew Publishing announces Hannah Arendt Footnotes, a 21st century political theory series celebrating her 1958 book, The Human Condition.

The new series on the Bryan William Brickner Blog highlights and celebrates Arendt’s 1958 book via its 21st century applicability. In the first posting, Arendt Footnotes: Marx, Violence and the American Revolution, modernity’s glorification of violence is noted with one exception: 1776.

“Arendt writes as a classic,” offered Ew Publishing’s Bryan W. Brickner, “meaning at the height of the times; she was run out of Germany by fascism, has citizenship in America, and gives back – to generations – with her teachings.”

In January, Brickner published Shivitti: A Review of Ka-Tzetnik 135633’s Vision (2015), and acknowledged Arendt’s work in his book; specifically, the role of otherness in violence.

“Arendt notes that the revolutions of the modern age,” continued Brickner, “share a common (Roman) enthusiasm for politics and the glorification of violence; she makes one exception though, for the American Revolution.”

“In living as a modern before post-modernism,” Brickner closed, “Arendt theorizes with self-assured acuity; often more than most are accustomed to: for example, her Marx hits the mark.”

Brickner has a 1997 political science doctorate from Purdue University and is the author of several political theory books, to include: The Promise Keepers: Politics and Promises (1999), Article the first of the Bill of Rights (2006), and Shivitti: A Review of Ka-Tzetnik 135633’s Vision (2015). He also writes political fiction, such as the novella thereafter (2013), and is the publisher of The Cannabis Papers: A citizen’s guide to cannabinoids (2011) and The Bryan William Brickner Blog, a resource for the political science of constitutions and the biological science of receptors.

Next Ew Publishing: Friday, 27 February, Black History, American Exceptionalism and Carl Sandburg’s Chicago of 1919, a William Abens special on the Bryan William Brickner Blog.

(ALGA) American Seed & Oil Company Entry into $500 Million U.S. Hemp Market, Found on Bloomberg BusinessWeek Site, Now Quietly Expands into Colorado

posted in: Hemp Farming | 0

Dallas, TX (PRWEB) August 28, 2014

The American Seed & Oil Company, a subsidiary of Algae International Group, Inc. (OTC: ALGA), announced last week a strategy launched last January to enter the existing U.S. $ 500 million Industrial Hemp market.

The announcement can be found on Bloomberg BusinessWeek:

http://tinyurl.com/ALGA-Bloomberg

The Company subsequently released details to expand its existing hemp farming operations in Vermont:

Today the Company made public its efforts to expand into Colorado.

In June this year, Management participated in the first annual Weed Stock Conference in Denver, Colorado.

http://www.weedstockconference.com/

At the Weed Stock Conference, the Company engaged a number of local parties in early negotiations to establish hemp and marijuana farms in Colorado. The Company is also exploring retail and wholesale operation pilots in addition to possible cannabis tourism projects.

To learn more about the Company’s cannabis business strategy and the progress to date in the development of that strategy, visit the Company’s new American Seed & Oil Company website. In particular, read ‘The Introduction Of The American Seed & Oil Company’ found on the website to specifically learn about the Company’s current hemp crop and all three new cannabis industry subsidiaries.

About Algae International Group, Inc. and The American Seed & Oil Company, Inc.

(OTC: ALGA) Algae International Group, Inc. first became interested in the cannabis opportunity last year while attempting to build a business to produce bio diesel from cold pressed algae oil. While the ‘promise’ of the cannabis market is great, the path to achieving the ‘promise’ is unclear. An incubator improves the odds of success in an early and rapidly evolving market by building multiple, complimentary businesses with an initial strategy to explore market opportunity rather than to attempt seizing market opportunity prematurely. Accordingly, the Company is starting with three incubated subsidiaries, and will continue to explore the introduction of additional complimentary subsidiaries. As subsidiaries develop to a viable stage of independence, the Company will spinoff such subsidiaries creating independent ROI opportunities for parent shareholders.

posted in: Hemp Farming | 0

Dallas, TX (PRWEB) November 25, 2014

Algae International Group, Inc. (OTC: ALGA), through its subsidiary American Seed & Oil Company, Inc., today announced it will work with a new startup, World Hemp Oil, to supply domestically grown and refined hemp CBD oil to produce and market the EpiVape© for seizure disorders.

World Hemp Oil is a wholesale distributor of CBD oil comparable to Charlotte’s Web Medical Marijuana (MMJ) strains. But unlike Charlotte’s Web, World Hemp’s CBD Oil is legal and available in all 50 United States.

The EpiVape© was inspired by World Hemp Oil founder and CEO Christopher Cain, who suffers spasms from a spinal cord injury and has been able to mitigate suffering with CBD oil therapy. CBD oil has been shown to reduce symptoms in neurological disorders such as epilepsy, Parkinson’s, Multiple Sclerosis, and spinal cord injury. The company has a Crowdfunding campaign to finance commercialization of the vaporizer: http://www.epivape.com

American Seed & Oil Company is an early mover in the emerging state-legalized Hemp and Medical Marijuana cultivation markets. The company was recently recognized by NPR as the largest hemp grower in Vermont. The company recently announced Medical Marijuana Pilots in two states, a first step toward commercialization of a larger operation, as evolving state and federal laws permit.

About Algae International Group, Inc.

Algae International Group, Inc. (OTC: ALGA), through its subsidiary American Seed & Oil Company, Inc., is in the business of hemp production to supply seed to the expanding hemp farming market for consumer products and construction materials.
