the Campaign to free Florence Aubenas and Hussein Hanoun Al-Saadi have been held hostage for 99 days in Iraq. The French news media will demonstrate their support for Florence and Hussein throughout the day on Friday, 15 April, their 100th day in captivity. Plans for this show of solidarity were approved at a meeting of news media executives and editors at TF1 headquarters on 11 April. From 00:00 hours until midnight, all broadcast TV stations will regularly display a special logo designed by TF1, while radio stations will repeatedly broadcast a spot produced by France Info and spoken by Christian Chesnot, a former hostage in Iraq. All newspapers are invited to display the logo on their front page, and websites are invited to display the banner. http://www.rsf.org/breve.php3?id_breve=1131 ... read full story / add a comment

In a few days, a little more than a hundred mature men will enter a special place to engage in a millenial ritual to elect one of their belief pattern to lead over 1.2 billion fellow believers into "the XIX century". The result of their ritual shall influence the social, political, ethical, economic, moral and "spiritual" direction of this planet. Here's a short reminder of the "very special arrangements" ... read full story / add a comment

The reaction of the mainstream media and ruling classes to the death of pope John II must have, at the very least, bemused many people. How, after all, could this elderly leader of medieval, obscurantist Roman catholicism, which has been mired in so much scandal of late, have beguiled the world in the way the media is now claiming ‘John Paul the Great’ did so miraculously? Surely it defies the laws of history! ... read full story / add a comment

The general consensus is that if gas prices fall ChevronTexaco’s $16 billion purchase of Unocal was a huge mistake. The author of this article makes the convincing argument that this “risk” was made because ChevronTexaco’s CEO, David O’Reilly, knows that the peak in oil production is going to happen sooner rather then later. Though the author points out that the government is doing little about the situation he fails to note that the funded research into hydrogen as a fuel is useless without a way to make Hydrogen without oil. ... read full story / add a comment

"Tomorrow will be the second black anniversary of the Iraq occupation," he said during the sermon.

Calling all anti-capitalists!! A new film entitled "Capitalism and Other Kids' Stuff", which argues the anti-capitalist case in simple language can be viewed free at www.socialist-tv.com The film, made by 4 members of The Socialist Party, is 49 minutes in duration and, beginning with a look at how we treat our children, explains in non-jargonised terms, the insanity of a system that places profit before human need. Please note, this is not a Party political broadcast, just a sane look at an insane world that is very much crying out for real change. ... read full story / add a comment

An openly gay candidate of Partito della Rifondazione Comunista wins in southern Italy, in regional elections that resulted in 11 victories for the center-left coalition, which now controls 16 of Italy’s 20 regions. Nichi Vendola's victory decisively refutes the American dogma that militants on the left, choosing radicals, can't attract votes at the center and lose to the right -- the dogma that the Democrats in America and the center-left in Italy promulgate, even though it has been often contradicted, as in the moderate John Kerry's loss -- as Vendola won 100,000 more votes than the center-left coalition. ... read full story / add a comment
