28-09-2008 09:45
Since 2002, the Sunday Telegraph columnist Christopher Booker has published at least 38 articles denying or downplaying the health risks of white asbestos. His claims are strikingly similar to those made by the industry-funded "Chrysotile Institute". Earlier this week, the Guardian ran an exposé on Booker's activities. In his response, Booker yet again distorts the scientific facts around this issue.The right to the city, lecture by Professor David Harvey

25-09-2008 23:00
Today, the 11th International Conference on Aluminium Aloys (ICAA) met with angry protests. Activists from the environmentalist network Saving Iceland disrupted the proceedings at the University in Aachen, Germany. Early this morning, during one of Rio Tinto Alcan’s lectures, the fire alarms in the building were put on. Later today - again during Rio Tinto Alcan’s lecture - stink bombs were thrown and a high volume rape alarm was put on and suspended out of reach by green and black helium baloons. The auditorium was also strewn with information leaflets. The aim was to call attention to the industry’s singular involvement in ecological destruction in Iceland, as well as on a global scale.IMF, World Bank and Western Aid are killing Afrika
25-09-2008 14:35
Many western individuals and organizations niavely believe that "aid" and IMF and World Bank sanctioned poicies will get Afrika out of poverty. What this article seeks to do is to impart to the reader that far from helping Afrika, western "aid" and IMF and World Bank policies have crippled Afrika's economic development and made Afrika the "scare on the consciousness of the world". The truth of the matter is that Afrika needs proper and just trade with the West, access to its markets, that the West pays the normal price for Afrika's resources, that western multinational companies like the mining ones and petroleum ones end thier gross exploitation of Afrikan resources, and a definite end to so-called aid that has draconian conditions attached to it. May be trendy white liberals like the so-called aid agencies and Bono will take heed and realize that THEY DO NOT SPEAK FOR THE MASSES OF THE AFRIKAN PEOPLE.Arts Show Attacks Shane Meadows

disrupt the very foundations of the international monetary system. The
repercussions on people's lives in America and around the world are dramatic.
The crisis is not limited to the meltdown of financial markets, the real
economy at the national and international levels, its institutions, its
productive structures are also in jeopardy.
As stock values collapse, lifelong household savings are eroded, not to mention
pension funds.
The financial meltdown inevitably backlashes on consumer markets, the housing
market, and more broadly on the process of investment in the production of
goods and services.
