Angry reaction promised if Government fails to drop Biofuels targets

23-02-2008 14:12 | Climate Chaos | Ecology | Technology | World

Campaigners vowed to take to the streets in hundreds if the government refuses to drop its plans to massively increase the use of biofuels in the UK, despite mounting and now quite overwhelming scientific evidence that far from helping in the struggle to control climate change biofuels have precisely the reverse effect.

Iraq : Are there any Tears Left?

22-02-2008 16:39 | Anti-racism | Iraq | Terror War | World

In the Inquisition-scale horrors, inflicted upon Iraq, since a month short of five years ago, the ghosts of the Western-imposed human cull over the previous thirteen years - from life's dawn, to those in its twilight - sometimes, very temporarily, briefly flicker and fade slightly, in the light of another immediate atrocity of enormity. They always return, as they must, in a sight, a scent, a phrase, a 'phone call. Reminders of sins of overwhelming enormity in high places, as Washington and Whitehall bleat about their infantile 'war on terror' and 'rogue states'.

Wikileaks and Internet Censorship: a comparative study

22-02-2008 12:56 | Repression | World

Using data from the Global Integrity Index, we put a U.S. court's recent order to block access to anti-corruption site Wikileaks.org into context. In summary: The Wikileaks.org shutdown is unheard of in the West, and has only been seen in a handful of the most repressive regimes. Good thing it doesn't work very well.

US Court order shuts down Wikileaks.org

22-02-2008 12:53 | Repression | World

Wikileaks.org, an organization devoted to exposing corruption, has been muzzled by a U.S. court order (see pdf below) at the request of a Swiss bank, Bank Julius Baer, and its Cayman Islands subsidiary, who had been implicated in allegedly laundering money by documents posted on Wikileaks.org. But rather than attack a specific finding or document, the court has ordered their DNS registrar to essentially erase the organization's website from the Web. While Wikileaks.org is down, their site can be found via IP address: http://88.80.13.160, which is hosted in Sweden.

US court attacks web freedom, enjoins Wikileaks.org out of existence

22-02-2008 12:34 | Repression | World

One of the most important web sites in recent months has been Wikileaks.org. Created by several brave journalists committed to transparency, Wikileaks has published important leaked documents, such as the Rules of Engagement for Iraq [see my The Secret Rules of Engagement in Iraq], the 2003 and 2004 Guantanamo Camp Delta Standard Operating Procedures, and evidence of major bank fraud in Kenya [see also here] that apparently affected the Kenyan elections. Wikileaks has upset the Chinese government enough that they are attempting to censor it, as is the Thai military junta.

Now censorship has extended to the United States of America, land of the First Amendment.

As George Bush begins his much bally-hooed African safari, he has already begun to heap praise on Rwandan President Kagame as a “model for Africa .” But, recently issued French and Spanish international “war-crimes” warrants and new evidence at the UN Rwanda Tribunal have exposed Kagame as the war-criminal.

Oil Price $100+ a Barrel; World Leaders Ignore this Signal of Impending Shortage

21-02-2008 20:17 | Analysis | World

The price for West Texas Intermediate (WTI) oil closed above $100 for the first time on February 19, 2008.
