When I read headlines like: Deaths as Israel storms aid ship or Israeli Massacres Go International; Commandos Kill 16 Free Gaza Activists I despair. And then to read the vitriolic comments for and against the action, my sense of desperation grows. I feel more strongly for the underdog and I can not fathom why such …

Synthetic life – It’s just about money.
It would be comforting to believe that the production of synthetic bacteria in the laboratory is going to accelerate cures for disease, replacement body parts and sympathetic engagement with nature. But that is not happening. The positive hopes are the marketing headline. The reality, proven by the track record of Venter and his hairy faced …

Seed The Truth
Monsanto Plant Shut Down by Activists in Europe. Although the video linked here looks like a news item it is more revealing because it gives a good summary of the crimes that chemical company Monsanto commits everyday. Its only 7 minutes long.

Israel bombs Gaza
War again. Enough!
There was some hope that the bickering and belligerence in teh middle east might be addressed by the US, which has financed much of the anger, but apparently not. Israeli planes have carried out 13 air strikes on the Gaza Strip. Disgusting. Only one side can stop this. The overdog – Israel. Are you not …

Climate volatility is a problem.
There’s probably global warming going on as a result of fossil fuel burning over the past couple of centuries. Even if you choose to dispute that, you probably notice something strange about the weather, call it climate change or climate volatility (or risk).

Despite economic recession, trillions of your euros, dollars, clams being spent to prop up the financial system, the prevalence of abuse by fiduciaries has not declined. Bankers, stockbrokers, insurance companies, the whole lot of them (except, of course, the few with integrity, like you – ha ha) continue to …

Peak Oil – it’s here! The IEA confirms, unofficially
Discussion about Peak Oil heightened in the past decade as many proponents reckoned that the supply of fossil fuels is now being overtaken by use. The oil industry decries the claim suggesting that Peak Oil won’t happen for a couple more decades. In fact, as with the cover-up over the health risk of smoking, the …

Repo 105 – it’s still out there.
A report on the Lehman Brothers bankruptcy came out today. It’s ancient history really, because to happened a year and a half ago. But it’s relevant today to remind us of the obfuscation that we endure from banks, politicians, the boss and others. Simply put, Lehaman fudged its financial performance by selling assets prior to …
