offsite link The WHO Cares More About Pushing Experimental Vaccines Than Basic Sanitation and That?s a Problem Thu Feb 27, 2025 18:00 | Dr David Bell
The WHO once aimed to help nations stand on their own two feet, but now it mainly pushes the agendas of the rich and powerful, says Dr David Bell. That's why it cares more about experimental vaccines than basic sanitation.

Is Rishi Sunak English? Prof Eric Kaufmann says yes, by nationality, but not by ethnicity. It's a subject that typically produces more heat than light, but that's because people don't pin down their terms.

We are at a critical moment. Ever more people are coming to the view that Net Zero is a terrible idea. But the Government is clinging to it at all costs. A new film seeks to puncture the groupthink.

Four years into the war on Iraq it seems more serious nonviolent resistance is coming from within the military, from veterans of the war and the families of the military war dead than any civilian anti-war movement in the western world. Lt Ehren Watada refused deployment to Iraq declaring the war illegal. His court martial earleir this year collapsed over a legal technicality. His second trial is due to start early October.

For the geeks who have Second Life accounts, here's you chance to picket
in the virtual world...

"During the talks to renew IBM’s Italian internal collective agreement,
the works council, supported by the majority of IBM Italy employees, asked
for a small salary increase. IBM responded by cancelling their "productive
results benefit", resulting in a loss of €1000 per year for each employee.
For a company that wants to lead in corporate social responsibility, this
is unacceptable." read full story / add a comment

No wonder workers are allways on the back foot fighting battles> Struggling up hill to defend themselves their jobs and their futures. Employers/Management have a vested interest in keeping workers on their knees. But when (So called) brother and sister unions, in a vain attempt to save face try to "Pull the rug" from under the feet of workers about to embark on industrial action, then the trade union movement is in a sorry state. read full story / add a comment

In his column in the Irish Times, the Washington Post's opinionator Charles Krauthammer has said that General Petraeus can defeat Al-Qaeda in Iraq. I disagree!

Far from defeating Al-Qaeda, the US occupation provides Islamist fighters with ideal terrain on which to recruit and train to overthrow Mr Bush’s friends in the house of Al-Saud, and does nothing to prevent Al-Qaeda cells elsewhere from planning attacks elsewhere.

Krauthammer’s comments bear no resemblance to the realities of fighting Al-Qaeda, and every resemblance to a propagandum formulated by the White House to justify a military strategy whose chances of success are next to nil. Krauthammer tells us nothing about Iraq, and everything about Washington.

Whte House staff are sure to go on vigorously propagating this implausible "We can defeat Al-Qaeda in Iraq" message in the media in coming months. My counter-analysis provides a copyright-free debunker for reuse as needs arise. read full story / add a comment

Green party members are currently making a frantic attempt to halt a sell-out on GM crops. The power sharing agreement with Fianna Fail which has effectively converted the party into Fianna Fail's most effective weapon in its resistance to the environmental lobby looks as though it may come under strain because of tensions within the Green Party over this issue. read full story / add a comment
