The Tools Of Greenwashing: Astroturfs

27-05-2008 10:26 | Analysis | Climate Chaos | Globalisation | World

Questioning and exposing the greenwashing activities of corporations, in particular, is something that the seasoned cynic makes light of; but sometimes our job is made more difficult, not so much by the quality of the greenwashing being used, but by the sheer weight of apparent “public” opinion supporting the views of the corporations.

Carter: Israel Has At Least 150 Nukes

26-05-2008 20:05 | Anti-racism | World

Note the 'flat earth' perspective that Israel's Collective Punishment of Gaza was a response to the rockets this illegal policy - imposed to undermine the ELECTED Government of the Palestinians, divide the Palestinians, and stall the 'peace process' - actually provoked, which is repeated by nearly every mainstream media outlet.

"The air we breathe & the lines we cut" : FARC name Alfonso Cano is new leader.

25-05-2008 18:11 | Analysis | Anti-militarism | Terror War | World

Timoleón Jiménez has appeared in a video passed to TeleSUR lamenting the passing of the founder of FARC whose death began to be reported yesterday.

http://www.indymedia.org.uk/en/2008/05/399496.html He died of a heart attack.

They have also named the new leader of the paramilitary organisation. Thus the new name and personality who we may consider dealing with all the baggage of FARC. Its guerilla army, its hostages, its loyal population, its political hinterland who eschew armed struggle yet are persecuted, its role in the coca production and supply of cocaine from Colombia which is not already in the hands of the 3 cartels linked to the far right terrorists in the Colombian state. The new leader Guillermo León Sánez, alias Alfonso Cano is thus one of the people who decides how much rainforest should be cleared to grow coca instead of making oxygen. Coz as all you know well, coca only grows on the edge of rainforest for a maximum of two years, being a hungry little plant it needs nutrients when farmed which can only come from burning off jungle.

A short profile of this new man who shall play a small role in what goes up your nose. Be it oxygen or a 17% pure alkaloid.
