Individualist Green group on-line

Check out this very dodgy so called Green group. Full of capitalist/individualist
propaganda. Sort of GM Greens really- and just as bad for you.

Dodgy stuff. their support for carbon trading makes me wonder if...
a./ Thery're into nuclear power.
b./ they're into destorying the lives of various communtiites in the southern hemnpishere who are lives already being ruined from this kind of thinking through large monculture plantations for carbon-sink IMF/Kyoto trading.e.g.communties in Brazil,Durbin dumping etc.
c./ They work for some lobby group greenwash group.
d./ Make cash out of pesudo Green grants and greenwash businesses.
e./ Increase the poverty gap.

...isn't exactly necessary.

Scroll down and you will see:

a 9/11 link to a plethora of links supporting the bogus 'war on terror'

links to a mountain of misinformation about GM

an attack on the MPs who voted for the fox hunting ban

an homage to McDonalds (or as he spells it, MacDonald's)

and a link to:

http://www.iconservatives.org.uk

with an obituary to Ronald Reagan

It might not be appropriate to post details of this misinformation merchant but information isn't difficult to come by and is freely available on the internet so here is a link to his domain record:
