No matter what they are saying now, The U.S. dollar is done!

"And another horror is that the stock market went up, which is Pretty Freaking Strange (PFS) since Barron’s reports that the earnings of the Dow Jones Industrials went down, dropping to $225.53 from $234.49. This has produced the unbelievable price-to-earnings ratio of 57! Earnings are going down, but the stocks are going up! To a P/E of 57!
Un-freaking-believable!

BBC documentary reveals government reckless in drive for nuclear weapons

29-04-2008 13:15

In a recently aired documentary, “Windscale: Britain’s Biggest Nuclear Disaster,” the BBC investigated the history of the first British nuclear power station and its role in the development of nuclear weapons. It presented strong evidence that the Windscale fire of 1957—the first fire in any nuclear facility—was caused by the flagrant abandonment of safety measures. This took place because of pressure from the British government to produce bomb-making material. The programme explained how the 1957 fire brought Windscale to the brink of a major nuclear disaster, in which many of the people working there could have been killed and a wide area around the site left contaminated for decades.

Street Blitz London, 1-15 May 2008

29-04-2008 10:56

After a moderately successful first run last July the fortnight of street-art returns to London. The concept is simple but potentially very effective and by utilising the power of the Internet (and benefiting from a growing common ‘net literacy amongst the great unwashed) it opens up the whole city as a gallery space; and not confining it to internal, controlled and possibly inaccessible spaces.

Not just Boris, but the BNP too!

29-04-2008 06:42

Boris - the polls have him hopping ahead

A reply to Steve Platt's Every failure to vote on 1 May is a vote for the BNP.

"There has always been a political alternative to the lack of choice of the mainstream political parties, the opportunism of the minority parties and the racism of tiny fascist outfits like the BNP. It involves organising in such a way that everybody has a say over the decisions that affect them. It means refusing to accept what politicians tell you to do and taking the power into your own hands, not waiting for somebody else to do it for you."

US Media's Left Wing 'Agenda' and the Public's Knowledge of Climate Science

29-04-2008 06:32

You've heard it many times.

--The 'left wing' U.S. media is 'scare-mongering and alarmist' about climate change. They are frightening the people of the U.S. about the affects of global warming without having enough facts and research to back up their statements. --

The statements from researchers 'on the ground' ARE very alarming, no one can dispute that. Here are a few of the past year or so from separate, independent, long-term scientific studies. [Links to the report that these statements are ripped from are provided below.]

No Middle East Peace Without Tough Love

29-04-2008 00:18

This is perhaps the best article I have read on the conflict, and it's great to see - even at this late hour - that people are finally beginning to speak in terms of accepting and perhaps confronting Zionism, and its role in creating and perpetuating this conflict, and why.
