Why are climate alarmists so impervious to facts, so averse to rational cost-benefit analysis? It has all the hallmarks of a religious cult, says James Allan. They can't let it go because it gives meaning to their lives.

There's a climate emergency, so cough up, say insurers. It hasn't stopped them raking in billions, notes Chris Morrison. And no wonder: weather losses are actually down compared to 35 years ago. Time for a bit of honesty?

Iranian Young People Shout: 'Death to Ahmadinejad,'

category international | rights, freedoms and repression | news report author Saturday March 22, 2008 14:30author by Mullah Kintyre Report this post to the editors

Iranian youths staged a massive protest on Wednesday, calling for Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s death during the Persian celebration of Lag Ba'omer. In the western city of Ahvaz, youths of the Arab minority chanted "Freedom is our legitimate right" while crowds shouted “Death to Ahmadinejad” while lighting bonfires in the city of Sanandaj. Bonfires and firecrackers are traditional in marking the occasion. Police officers attempting to arrest the revelers were greeted with a barrage of firecrackers and other missiles.

"The police in Tehran were out in force and Ahmed Raza-Radan, the police chief in Tehran, warned demonstrators against violating the rule of law in a news conference.

The police force has resolved to detain any party-goers who break the law. The secret police will have full control, and will not hesitate to photograph citizens for evidence," he said.

Regarding the ad posted on one of the youth websites, calling for all celebrants to join the park bonfire in Tehran, the police chief said, "Use of the internet to invite people to bonfires is prohibited, and no one requested permission for it."


Just to show how free Iranian Society is Iran's "Culture" Ministry announced the closure of nine cinema and lifestyle magazines for publishing pictures and stories about the life of "corrupt" foreign film stars and promoting "superstitions." Way to go!

More news will follow on the Youth action against the Itanian Regime.
