An open letter to Obama about Syria
31-05-2013 09:35
A modest way of action is writing an open letter. This letter is addressed to Barack Obama and criticizes his Syrian policy. I blame him for : 1. Drawing the wrong red line, 2. Sacrificing human rights and tolerating crimes against humanity to favor American companies 3. Lack of leadership.URGENT-Sussex residents-PLEASE phone EA today-RE Fracking

Last week, a coalition of 25 organisations which campaign and research on wildlife in the UK launched a landmark report – The State of Nature.

29-05-2013 20:34
With the guerilla attack on a convoy of career politicians in India last week, this has suddenly turned from a big issue into a big question, not so much in the Hindu state itself as in smaller nations whose regimes, due to its sheer size, are eying the most populous one of the Asian subcontinents like a moon in order to exploit as much as of its gravity as they can for their local dominance. The Naxal, the Marxist rebel network within that entity, has escalated the insurrection against the Delhi regime to the level of the 20th century resistance against the first wave of fascism under Japanese occupation reaching the Indian ocean. The Delhi regime has reacted with a statement calling the attack "a Holocaust", which puts forward the question why Indian internal affairs would be gravitating around German history. Obviously it is not the case that the Naxal was entrapping an entire tribal subculture to feed them to the hellfire and rewrite history accordingly, like the Nazis, and if any comparison had been made between the Chhattisgarh attack and the Jewish insurrection in the Warsaw ghetto there would probably have been widespread cautioning against such analogy as in the case of the Palestinians a while ago. Scientific experience suggests that the small entity rotates around the big one and not the other way round, so what does such an inversion of circumstances tell about the Naxal?
