I got this appeal in an email because I am on a mailing list. I cannot go to Palestine myself since I would be denied entry. Although I am Palestinian, (born and lived there for the greater part of my life) the Israelis will not let me re-enter my hometown of Jerusalem/Al-Quds or any West Bank area for that matter. This is because they say I have failed to "renew" my ID card - just one of their many tricks for expelling as many Arabs as possible. So I thought I'd post this here in case anyone out there is interested in going to the occupied lands to offer some protection to the locals. As a European, the soldiers will generally not bother you. Thanks for reading. ... read full story / add a comment

"Drunkenness as a habit is one of the most degrading forms of vice which can result from the enfeeblement of the moral principle by persistent self-indulgence. Without perhaps appearing in public offensively drunk, the only remedy would seem to be the power of temporarily consigning them to an inebriate asylum."--Encylopedia Britannica, 9th Edition (1877). ... read full story / add a comment

His Holiness Maharishi Mahesh Yogi offered a warning to the world press that they are responsible for their role in promoting, through their reporting, the killing and destruction promoted by their governments-and they will reap the effects. Maharishi's comments came during a global news conference held last Wednesday at the Capital of the Global Country of World Peace in Meru, Holland, which was broadcast live via satellite and Internet webcast. ... read full story / add a comment

I'm not joking. A obscure law called the No Electronic Theft (NET) Act that former U.S. President Bill Clinton signed in 1997 makes peer-to-peer (P2P) pirates liable for $250,000 in fines and subject to prison terms of up to three years.

With war looming, just to put things in perspective, check out this site. http://www.sunshine-project.org/ Details of serious allegations as regards US-backed biological weapons plans for Columbia, US covert chemical weapons activities, US special forces actively canvassing the science community for Genetically Engineered bioweapons, and the legal status or otherwise of all of the above. I have to say that this makes pretty scary reading, and that it puts the 'does he or doesn't he have weapons of mass destruction' argument into context. ... read full story / add a comment

Annually a high ranking-conference of war mongers takes place in Munich in February. In camouflage as “security conference” representatives of the military, economic and political elite vote for their hegemony strategies. But like already last year this summit in Munich will be accompanied by actions of protest and resistance. Since a few months it was mobilized against the world war-elite internationally with the slogan "Smash NATO". ... read full story / add a comment
