An essay illustrating the undemocratic politics of the UK. The illusion of democracy persists via a largely 2 party system, but this very system is undemocratic in nature and led to the UK's current involvement in Iraq and Afghanistan.

N.S.W. Government Medical Officer of HealthQuest Terminated

09-04-2008 12:59 | Repression | Social Struggles | Workers' Movements | World

HealthQuest is the N.S.W. Government Medical Office which has been for years accused of serious human rights violations. Activists believe doctors at HealthQuest have 'certified insane' many public service whistleblowers in order to sack them for allegedly being unable to carry out their duties. The most notorious of the HealthQuest doctors was an English G.P., Dr Helia Gapper, who was forced to resign in the late 1990s after negative publicity. It is not known whether she has returned to England and is practising under another name.

Resilient Communities: A Guide to Disaster Management

09-04-2008 12:43 | Ecology | Other Press | Sheffield | World

Resilience: The ability to recover quickly from illness, change, or misfortune; buoyancy; the ability to absorb shocks.

The following is a proposal to help make communities better able to respond to the coming economic shocks from resource depletion, beginning with Peak Oil, and perhaps also to shocks from other causes (such as the ongoing subprime mortgage and credit collapse). In searching for a name for the strategy, I have settled on the phrase "Resilient Communities," which comes with considerable baggage—useful baggage in this instance. Once I have described and discussed the proposal, I will offer some background materials regarding the terms resilience and resilient communities, mentioning some other projects that have used the same title or that pursue similar goals.

UN Investigator Stands by Israel-Nazi Comparison

09-04-2008 00:20 | Anti-racism | World

There should be no special exception for Israel when it comes to the human rights of Palestinians, period, end of discussion.

What Professor Falk is doing is merely stating the obvious, and that's what has Israeli officials cringing and sputtering.

And if Israel bars Falk from assuming his Human Rights Investigator post, Israel should be thrown out of the UN.
