Unfortunately, Sir James Wilson Vincent Savile, OBE, KCSG, or simply Jimmy Savile to most of the world, died last year so he cannot refute the ridiculous claims being made by a seemingly never-ending list of so-called ’victims’ and other people who now claim that they knew what he was doing, but did nothing for decades.
The most recent claim; that Savile abused a brain damaged child in hospital is so beyond the pale that it doesn’t deserve a response.
However, a couple of the more (…)

Police have made a second arrest in the April Jones disappearance/murder investigation. Unfortunately, their actions didn’t really have anything to do with finding the 5 year old or getting any closer to the truth about what happened to her one week ago.
Lancashire police arrested Matthew Wood on Saturday after he posted to his Facebook account what has been described as an offensive comment about April and Madeleine McCann. We don’t know what he had to say because the lamestream media and (…)

Statement by Manolis Glezos on the occasion of German Chancellor Angela Merkel’s visit to Greece On the occasion of the visit to Greece by the German Chancellor Angel Merke, we consider it our duty to remind both her and the Greek Prime Minister that:
Manolis Glezos
Manolis Glezos
Great and powerful Germany has no right to set aside her obligations and thus deprive Greece of what is due to her on the basis of international law, any more that Greece may abdicate her (…)

What surprises me so much about the April Jones ’investigation’ into her disappearance is frankly how quickly the police, lamestream media and the general public have literally thrown up their hands and declared the 5 year old dead.
I suspect they had to so that the police and Crown Prosecution Service could charge Mark Bridger with her murder.
But how many times have we read about children that have gone missing only to be found years later, living with a family who either snatched the (…)

Republican neo-liberalism – maximum freedom for the advantaged to exploit the disadvantaged - means that over 1 million Americans die preventably each year due to deadly policy perversions that promote militarism, war, violence and dangerously unregulated capitalism. While President Obama backs regulation and preventive medicine, his opponent Mitt Romney’s fanatical Republican neo-liberalism will make this appalling situation much worse.
The breakdown of these over 1 million American (…)

Q & A: Terrance Nelson and Nazanin Afshinn-Jam Debate His Trip to Iran
"...Less than a month after Canada cut off diplomatic relations with Iran, former First Nations chief Terrance Nelson says he will meet with Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s regime in Tehran next week as part of an ’exploratory mission’ to discuss resource development and ’human rights abuses in Canada.’
"One of the things we want to be able to do is try and humanize the Iranian people. We know what (…)

While police, the media and most of the country continue to focus on Mark Bridger, who remains in custody until 5pm this evening, I wonder if the police in Machynlleth, Wales have thought to search the loft of her parent’s home.
Many people have already ’convicted’ Bridger in the disappearance or murder of 5 year old April Jones. Few people are publicly asking why Coral Jones, April’s mother, would have left her alone while she says she and April’s father went to a meeting at the local (…)

Federal. Julia Gillard is off to India, to seal the deal on selling uranium there, even though they won’t sign the Nuclear Non Proliferation Treaty. No doubt the government, especially Martin Ferguson, want this shameful deal to be done quietly - unhappy Labor Ministers to shut up about it. Australian Uranium Association’s Michael Angwin urges pressure on Ministers Stephen Conroy, Peter Garrett and Anthony Albanese to come into line on this issue. Greens Senator Scott Ludlam (…)

You will no doubt have seen or heard of my recent expulsion from the House of Commons for telling what I and many others believe is the truth about Afghanistan. We are fighting an unwinnable war of occupation there and the sooner we follow our former ISAF Coalition partners in withdrawing from the country the better. Unfortunately successive governments have failed to realise this and continue putting the lives of our soldiers at risk, repeating the tired mantra that they are reducing the (…)

Non-scientist political commentators declare that Romney won the first Obama-Romney presidential debate. However science-informed people who care for Humanity and the Biosphere can only hope that pro-fossil fuel Mitt Romney does not become US president because in committing to the Keystone XL pipeline from Canada to Texas he has committed to “game over” for the Planet, a temperature rise of over 2 degrees C and a hugely worsened climate change plus carbon burning pollutant impact that (…)
