By George Monbiot. Published in the Guardian 14th May 2002

Persuasion works best when it’s invisible. The most effective marketing worms its way into our consciousness, leaving intact the perception that we have reached our opinions and made our choices independently. As old as humankind itself, over the past few years this approach has been refined, with the help of the internet, into a technique called “viral marketing”. Last month, the viruses appear to have murdered their host. One of the world’s foremost scientific journals was persuaded to do something it has never done before, and retract a paper it had published. read full story / add a comment

Irish Independent reports that a previous occupation of the MV Normandy led to the consideration of using teargas. Plainclothes security personnel are rumoured to have boarded the vessel prepared and equipped to use teargas. This report by Gerald Flynn paints the taoiseach, Bertie Ahern, in a positive light and refrains from pointing out that the oul bollocks hasn't done anything except talk bollocks. read full story / add a comment

Three major faiths of the world hold Palestine in great importance. Today we live in a cosmopolitan world, in a village that is smaller than ever. Conflicts in one part of the world are bound to effect other parts of the world. What makes Palestine at the heart of these conflicts is due to the fact that the world's three major religions namely Judaism, Christianity and Islam hold Palestine with reat reverence.

Dr. Ilan Pappe, Dr. Ismail Adam Patel and Raymond are going to shed some light upon the issue.

DON'T MISS THE EVENT - THERE IS AN OCEAN OF INFORMATION THAT CAN BE HAD FROM THE EVENT. read full story / add a comment
