Destroying The Planet - Piece By Piece

I try not to visit a place and then forget about the people and the struggle they are engaged in. Since my visit to Jeju Island, and the Gangjeong village last October, I have been closely following developments about the South Korean government's plan to build a Navy base where pristine coral reefs, fishing, and tangerine groves are now integral to the people's way of life.

The base construction is soon set to begin in Gangjeong. The villagers are currently setting up a tent camp… Continue

More US military personnel have taken their OWN lives than have died in action

Hard to believe but it's true.

A Sign of Empire Pathology

by Finian Cunningham

Here is a shocking statistic that you won't hear in most western news media: over the past nine years, more US military personnel have taken their own lives than have died in action in either the wars in Iraq or Afghanistan. These are official figures from the US Department of Defence, yet somehow they have not been deemed newsworthy to report. Last year alone, more than 330… Continue

Don't talk about crime, police are told... it might scare the public!

Police officers were once seen as reassuring figures, like the fatherly Dixon of Dock Green.

Now it seems they are more likely to have a quite different effect - so much so that officers have been told not to talk about crime in case they frighten the public.

Home Office officials say discussing crime rates may make it less likely that the public will think officers are doing a good job. And that will make it harder for forces to hit the Government's target for increasing… Continue

The Fundamental Unreliability of America’s Media

By Glenn Greenwald, Salon

Consider the record of the American media over the last two weeks alone. Justin Elliott of TPM documents how an absolute falsehood about the attempted Christmas Day airline bombing — that Abdulmutallab purchased a “one-way ticket” to the U.S., when it was actually a round-trip ticket — has been repeated far and wide by U.S. media outlets as fact. Two weeks ago, Elliott similarly documented how an equally… Continue

Iran Test Fires Long Range Missile

That's the headline in almost every mainstream media outlet this week.

Oooh. We should be scared!

Of course there's no talk when the US test fires long range missiles which it does regularly. There's no talk when Israel test fires missiles which it also does regularly.

Only when Iran does it. Like the Mullah's are suicidal maniacs wanting to send a missile or two to Israel or the US so that we can nuke them into the dark ages.

The US and its western… Continue

Intelligence Sources: Another False Flag By The Neo-Con Machine ~ CIA, Mossad, RAW

The title of this piece might easily have been, "Who Runs The World?" because in reality the CIA, Mossad and RAW are generally accepted by those in the know to be behind almost every publicly announced event that occurs, in one way or another.

Swine Flu: "They Organized the Panic" - An Inquiry Into WHO In The EU

A great number of people across the internet have proposed that the entire Swine Flu debacle was an attempt by the elite to depopulate the world, which I don't believe and have seen no evidence to support that conclusion.

I do believe it was an effort at exaggeration and obfuscation of the facts to profit. Many members and ex-members of the WHO have known ties to the big pharmaceutical companies. Some now work for them.

Below is a recent interview with the German President… Continue

The Gov't of BC announced that BC will be 'Harmonizing'

Provincial sales tax with the Federal GST, and said it will

be revenue neutral. I heard today that harmonization will

mean that there will be many fewer items that will be tax

exempt now. Bottom line: More revenue will be collected.
