Globalisation Or Militarist Imperialism? India Must Choose

19-11-2007 21:20

In moral, ethical and legal terms, such an attack
would be a massive crime, yet an India bound by its
obligations under the nuclear deal would willy-nilly
become an accomplice to it. Indeed, India is already
complicit in the build-up to the crime due to its two
votes against in the IAEA

Wood Stoves & Global Warming

19-11-2007 16:06

Global Waming Impact by Stove Design
Most activists have sat around a camp fire at some point, or heated a kettle on a gas camp stove, or lit a burner. This is damaging our health and our environment. Wood smoke stays chemically active in the body 40 times longer than tobacco, and solid fuel particulates kill over 2 million people each year in the developing world. Any stove uses less fuel and produces less pollutants for the same amount of energy compared to an open fire. A properly designed stove uses up to 80 less fuel and produces a fraction of the pollutants.

OPEC Debate Mistakenly Televised

18-11-2007 22:27

Now if this would just happen at Bilderberg, G8, G7, etc ...

Another call to eliminate the US dollar as the oil-trading currency. Perhaps one motive behind US plots against Iran and Venezuela?

When you consider the result, the amount this was a mistake is debatable.

"The weakness of the dollar is one reason why oil prices are so high"

Perhaps one reason Bush/PNAC has worked so hard to destroy their own currency?

We are the history

Six years after the G8 Summit in Genoa the trails against protesters and members of the police forces are still continuing. the trials against the police and carabineri have been delayed to benefit from the new regulations of prescriptive periods. The procecutors Canepa and Canciani show strenght in the trials against the 25 activists. Never before in the context of street protest such high charges were asked for.

In Germany activists call for a protest on November 17th. Under the slogan "Against the surveillance state and arbitrariness" people demand that a few people should not get punished for a legitimate and collectiv protest by facing them with specially contructed charges.

Flowers for Life in Iran Campaign

18-11-2007 14:15

There is a need to approach Ahmadinejad and the judges and tell them, in a peaceful but firm way, that life is sacred in every part of the world and according to all religions - that always invite the faithful to be compassionate. It is for this reason that we are asking you to send a white flower (symbol of life) and a red flower (symbol of blood) to the Iranian President, Mahmud Ahmadinejad, asking him not to spill the blood of other innocent victims, and to abandon the path of terror and violence.

Tenants beware! Students you are at risk.

This man is the original Rachman landlord. He specialises in illegally evicting people from the properties he lets. He has very many properties that are let to students and thinks nothing of getting his henchman, Scott Rayner, to go in and change the locks when tenants are out. Do not rent from him.
