offsite link Climate Change Giving Meaning to Life Fri Jan 17, 2025 15:13 | Dr James Allan
Why are climate alarmists so impervious to facts, so averse to rational cost-benefit analysis? It has all the hallmarks of a religious cult, says James Allan. They can't let it go because it gives meaning to their lives.

There's a climate emergency, so cough up, say insurers. It hasn't stopped them raking in billions, notes Chris Morrison. And no wonder: weather losses are actually down compared to 35 years ago. Time for a bit of honesty?

Kerry gets nowhere because he says he would do the same thing Bush did, only differently.

'What I want to do is change the dynamics on the ground,' Kerry volunteered. 'And you have to do that by beginning to not back off of Falluja and other places and send the wrong message to terrorists. You've got to show you're serious.' Right on, John!"

“Israel has the right to defend and to protect itself” is one of the empty phrases which Americans constantly repeat. What they really mean each time when they repeat this phrase is that they have abandoned all attempts to conceal the fact that they have become but a satrapy of Israel, and that they can do nothing to deny Israel the "right" to occupy the West Bank and Gaza, the right to "protect" the settlers and ITF occupation and the continued violations of human rights. Israel has the right to kill, to steal, to arrest, to demolish ... to do just anything. ... read full story / add a comment

Below is an article by well known Indy media commentator Marc Mulholland. It is possibly the best and most honest explanation of a pro war stance that I have come across and raises many interesting points for debate.

Gambling on Revolution
For those who supported the Iraq War as a punt on the prospects of
detonating democratic revolution in the country and by extension in the region – sections of the Neocon Right and the Liberal Left – the question of realism is critical if we are not to be condemned as dilettante utopians. ... read full story / add a comment

The video of Margaret Hassan really appalls me. This woman should be released immediately. How utterly shameful that this woman, an Irish citizen, too, should be humiliated like this. Yet again, Indymedia Ireland is silent on this embarrassment to their fellow travellers' unjust cause. Just check out Liverpool Indymedia's churlish silence on Ken Bigley. Where are the Senator Mary Henry's and the Naomi Klein's appealing for her life? She must be released immediately. Freedom must prevail. ... read full story / add a comment
