According to thelong running Wayne Madsen website, who is a former intelligence officer in the US, there are reports from captains of tankers which would have methane sensors onboard due to their cargo, that there has been an increase in alarms going off on these sensors and that it is in fact not caused by their cargo, but Methane gas escaping or bubbling up from the Ocean floor especially along the Hudson Submarine Canyon over the eastern USA. read full story / add a comment

The name "National Disability Authority" had a certain ring about it when it was set up in 2000 A.D. It seemed as if a strict teacher was being appointed to the task of preventing disabled people from being bullied any longer. However the fear now materialises that "authority" is the last thing disabled people want in their lives. Indeed most people are uncomfortable with the idea of authority and we all resent people who set themselves up to tell us what we can and cannot do. A cynical observer might conclude that the NDA has morphed into an organisation which colludes in the oppression of disabled people? read full story / add a comment

The Whitehouse is in damage control over the bungled execution of Saddam Hussein. The hurried execution backfired in the worst possible way; a vanquished leader should never be allowed to continue his work from the ‘grave’. Anthropologists are familiar with appeasement rituals and ceremonies for the dead, which are common to numerous cultures. In the wake of Saddam’s bungled execution these curious rituals begin to make sense. read full story / add a comment

Thurs Jan 11th marks the 5th anniversary of the first victims of Guantanamo prison camp, and people from all over Ireland will be holding a vigil at the US Embassy in Ballsbridge, Dublin, between 4:30-6pm to demonstrate our strong feelings towards inhuman acts by the US government, and to express our concerns and shame that the Irish government has turned a blind eye to CIA flights going through Irish airports.

We should have some spare props, but people are encouraged to make/bring their own to add to the colour and diversity. read full story / add a comment

The disappearance of Julio Lopez, an aging former political prisoner and important state witness in the trial of a former police investigator found guilty of human rights abuses electrified the social movement in Argentina back in November. Despite mobilisations and the appearance of graffiti demanding action from the Kirchner government all over the capital, there are now further hints of present day dirty tactics by police connected to the former dictatership. On the same day that Spain resolved to arrest former police officer and alleged death squad leader Rodolfo Almiro, a second disappeared witness in trials against military officers - Luis Angel Gerez - suddenly reappeared. This reappearance comes amidst widespread claims that hundreds of threats have been made against human rights and social movement activists in the capital and across the country, as usual Upsidedownworld.org has the latest... read full story / add a comment

I just accidently became involved in what has turned out to be the biggest house-building fraud in this so-called United Kingdon when I purchased one of these totally defective and criminally and illegaly built dwellings in 1976. This fraud has now been successfully covered up by all the political parties in Northern Ireland for 30 years. The British Government even allowed the lawful findings of the Northern Ireland Commissioner for Complaints to be overturned to protect the corrupt cover-up of this fraud by Down District Council. The 'catholic' SDLP has led the cover-up in Down District Council.
