At the G20 protests in London only one group appears to be looking for violent confrontation – and it's not the protesters
The trouble-makers are out in force again. Dressed in black, their faces partly obscured, some of them appear to be interested only in violent confrontation. It's almost as if they are deliberately raising the temperature, pushing and pushing until a fight kicks off. But this isn't some disorganised rabble:… Continue

Yesterday saw the G-20 Circus arrive in London. The Summit was really just a pantomime event; with real policy having been settled well in advance. The ludicrous official story the media would have us believe, is that elected officials from the G-20 nations met to thrash out economic policy to deal with the global economic crisis, and reached a consensus all could agree on in just… Continue

They weren't asking for permission, just that they were going to do it in the near future!

I need your help boosting the show up the ranks . Podomatic is censoring the show by not counting the traffic I get from My Yearbook . I have documentation of this.

The real agenda behind agricultural reconstruction in Afghanistan and Iraq
In this Briefing, we look at how the US’s agricultural reconstruction work in Afghanistan and Iraq not only gives easy entry to US agribusiness and pushes neoliberal policies, something that has always been a primary function of US development assistance, but is also an intrinsic part of the US military campaign in these countries and the surrounding regions. Seen together with the growing clout that… Continue

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have already been explored as drug carriers into mammalian cells. Compared to nanoparticles, CNTs have a larger inner volume which allows more drug molecules to be encapsulated, and this volume is more easily accessible because the end caps can be easily removed, and they have distinct inner and outer surfaces for functionalization (see Nanotechnology's 'magic bullet' for more details).
