It is becoming more evident each day; the real target of new draconian laws and policies is not the (fabricated) terrorist ‘threat’, it is the domestic population – the enemy is you!

Yesterday, in Jerusalem the appeal of Mordechai Vanunu against the restrictions imposed on him by the State of Israel came before the Supreme Court. After his release from 18 years of imprisonment in April 2004, Vanunu was not truly free..The restrictions imposed by the State, among other things, denied him the right to freedom of speech and freedom of movement. These restrictions are in breach of the UN Declaration of Human Rights. Yesterday, 6 September, was another day for Mordechai's appeal in court. read full story / add a comment

John Donovan, a long term shareholder and critic of Royal Dutch Shell Plc management, provides an overview of a board room culture which has allowed a series of scandals to damage Shell’s once proud reputation. A culture where directors have been prepared to cook the books and have whistleblowers (Dr John Huong) and campaigners (the “Rossport Five”), terrorised and thrown in jail. Shell's reputation has been ruined due to the rapacious greed, arrogance and aggressive tactics of some Shell executives. read full story / add a comment

Nobody really knows how many people have died in Darfur over the last few years - certainly the number is in 100,000's. The end of this month the AU, African Union forces will withdraw and the Sudanese government promise it will replace them with its own troops - the same troops who have bombed and strafed and murdered their way through the region already - this time of course with a former rebel group who recently turned on their comrades to get concessions from Al-Bashir's regime. read full story / add a comment |
