Combustion of Liquid Natural Gas (LNG) yields the Humanity- and Biosphere-threatening greenhouse gas (GHG) carbon dioxide (CO2) and accordingly LNG is not “clean energy” as incorrectly asserted by corporations and politicians promoting the use of this dirty, CO2-polluting fossil fuel.
Rational risk management (that, for example, has made passenger aviation extremely safe) successively involves (a) accurate data, (b) scientific analysis (this involving critical testing of potentially (…)

Bibi makes it personal Ahmed Amr
Aside from the usual canards, Israel’s premier is claiming ancient heritage on the basis of his immigrant father’s assumed name. Well, why not, ponders Ahmed Amr*

You can’t make this stuff up. It was a Monday, the first day of spring in 2010, a time usually reserved for a little fresh air. Alas, the prime minister of Israel was dispensing noxious fumes in a speech to AIPAC, the pro-Israeli lobbying conglomerate that is considered the (…)

Nuclear power holds promise for 10 African countries now in pursuit of building their own nuclear plants. Wind and solar solutions aren’t reliable enough, planners say, nor do they offer adequate electricity.
In February, Nigerian authorities pursued talks with Iran for an exchange of nuclear know-how.
The oil giant is joined by Uganda, which passed nuclear laws in 2008 and hopes to have a plant by 2020, and by Kenya, whose government is (…)

For Christians Easter celebrates the death and resurrection of Christ. However for agnostics and atheists the Passion is a moral story about denial, courage and sacrifice.
I am an agnostic, humanist scientist and concerned about extraordinary Western holocaust commission and genocide commission coupled with holocaust denial and genocidal denial.
This extraordinary contemporary denial in the Western Murdochracies has enabled the ongoing Palestinian Genocide (see: ), Iraqi Genocide (see: (…)

Mister President,
March 4th 2010 was the fiftieth anniversary of the terrorist attack against the French ship “La Coubre” in the port of La Havana. This attack caused around a hundred victims, among them six French sailors who were members of the crew. This terrorist attack took place barely (…)

After Copenhagen, decent folk around the World are acutely aware of the plight of the Tuvaluans as remorselessly rising sea levels due to man-made global warming threaten the very existence of their nation. However this problem exists for other Island Nations and low lying, mega-delta, continental nations (most notably Egypt, Nigeria, Argentina, Brazil, the Netherlands, the UK, Romania, Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, Burma, Cambodia, Vietnam, the US and China.
Now it has been recently (…)

How cold and callous can we become? When, as a society and as a nation, we can undergo a massive earthquake under our very feet and before our very eyes, how can we just ignore its victims?
RealtyTrac, the California-based authority on property trends and valuations, projects 4.5 million home foreclosures before the end of this year. That’s 4.5 million homes, and with four people to a household that is eighteen million people. Eighteen million men, women and children (…)

From Frankenstein to the Temple Mount Promethean Madness
‘Frankenstein’ subtitled ‘The Modern Prometheus’ by Mary Shelley, published by the Oxford press, contains the name of Lewis Awad; an Egyptian Promethean scholar, in its sources. Awad was associated with the Egyptian weekly newspaper Al Ahram. They celebrated the tenth anniversary of Awad’s death by holding a summit for sixty Arab scholars on the last week of Sept. 2001. Each received a copy of Awad’s work ‘Prometheus Unbound‘. (…)

2010 is an Election Year in both the UK and Australia and hence a crucial year for both the British Labour Party Government of the UK and the Australian Labor Party Federal Government of Australia (note the difference in spelling: “Labour” by the British and “Labor” by the Australians).
The big question for decent, anti-racist, anti-war folk in both the UK and Australian Murdochracies (the Murdoch Empire is the ultimate king-maker in these electoral charades) is whether they should (…)

Alan Sabrosky’s recent and much-trumpeted statement that "Israel did 9/11" (e.g., here) is highly irrational and fuels, I suspect on purpose, the antisemitism that already plagues and undermines the "truth movement."
His "argument," such as it is, is easily debunked. It combines sense with nonsense, and it is very easy to distinguish the two, unless you are antisemitic, but that is precisely the problem.
Sensibly, Sabrovsky says:
"Several things are very clear to me from a careful (…)
