"Franklin's movements reveal the contours of a rightwing conspiracy of warmongering and aggression, an orgy of destruction, for the benefit of the Likud Party, of Silvio Berlusconi's business in the Middle East, and of the Neoconservative Right in the United States. It isn't about spying. It is about conspiring to conscript the US government on behalf of a foreign power or powers" read full story / add a comment

"The problems with aspartame include not only the biochemical nature of this toxin but also it sheds light on the political nature of the players involved. The changes in regulatory policies and regulations resulting from corporate-government ties and the politicians closely associated with these ties. What I can tell you, regarding toxicology, histology and biochemistry, is that aspartame is neurotoxic. Its components easily transcend the blood-brain barrier, interfering with normal nerve cell function. This affects the glutathione and calcium mechanisms in place, destroying nerve call integrity. The methanol then breaks down into formaldehyde-formic acid components, which denaturizes/mutates the DNA: a known scientific fact. The subsequent result from this interaction and from isolates of genetically modified amino acids, the methanol, is nerve cell necrosis and subsequent organ system degradation"

Russians in Perm are demonstrating against the burning of ballistic missles in their Urban area, ( under US orders)

The burning of ballistic missles releases large levels of dioxins the most poisinous substance known to science, of which there is no 'safe' level known. The seriousness and urgency of the Russians situation can not be stressed enough, without international support the burning will go unchecked and the people of Perm and the rest of Russia who are resisting will continue to be beaten, imprisoned, and brutally silenced.

There will still be a street theatre action and stall in Galway tommorrow from 4-6:30 pm on Shop St next to Evergreen Healthfoods. read full story / add a comment
