Greenpeace: Illegal Spread of GE Crops

Greenpeace Alert: First Contamination Report Reveals Worldwide Illegal Spread of Genetically Engineered Crops

The first report into the extent to which genetically engineered organisms have ‘leaked’ into the environment - released today - reveals a disturbing picture of widespread contamination, illegal planting and negative agricultural side effects.
The report is a summary of incidents uncovered by [...]

NASA appointee lacked credentials

The US regime sure isn’t shy about appointing unqualified yes-men. One should also note how seemingly easy this discovery was made and hence how little research was put into this by the corporate media. Sometimes, a cover-up doesn’t entail much of anything, just blind faith in believing what the powers that be keep telling you. [...]

US Tries to Silence Climate Expert

But what makes Hansen unique is that he has been trying to disseminate his wealth of knowledge, to inform the people of sorry state of the global climate. It is correct that Hansen wasn’t specifically targeted insofar as the restrictions apply to everyone. I mean golly, we wouldn’t want the public to catch on to [...]

Britons unconvinced on evolution

Unsettling. And perhaps no wonder when you consider the British government’s lax handling of private and public sectarian schools. If they are to be allowed at all.

BBC - Just under half of Britons accept the theory of evolution as the best description for the development of life, according to an opinion poll.
Furthermore, more than 40% [...]

Russia plans lunar mining

At least someone is doing something constructive.

News.com.au - “We are planning to build a permanent base on the moon by 2015 and by 2020 we can begin the industrial-scale delivery … of the rare isotope Helium-3,” Nikolai Sevastyanov, head of the Energia space corporation, was quoted by ITAR-TASS news agency as saying at an academic [...]

2006 Environmental Performance Index

Sweden ranks as the second best overall, out of 133 nations.

EPI - New Zealand ranks first in the world in environmental performance, according to the new 2006 Environmental Performance Index (EPI) produced by a team of environmental experts at the environment school at Yale University and the Earth Institute at Columbia University.
The 2006 EPI, to [...]

Lovelock: Point of no return

Ironically, while the front page is covered with the dismal, but honest, projections of James Lovelock, the rest of the British newspapers are riddled with advertising for fossil fuels. Aside from noting the double standard of the corporate media, one should heed the warnings of one of the foremost experts on planetary modelling and planets [...]

World Seed Gene Bank

The much talked about facility at Spitsbergen (in the Norwegian Svalbard archipelago) seems to be coming to life in the near future. The question is if it is good or bad. The article states that anti-globalisation campaigners have protested against other banks but I find it unlikely. At least if the banks in question were [...]

First Galileo Satellite Launched

Here we go. Hopefully the first step towards ending our reliance on the Pentagon run GPS system and eating away at US hegemony. Plus, the partners that have been accepted into the project are sure to drive the Americans over the edge. So all in all a 100% success.

Mosnews - The Galileo satellite, named “Giove [...]

Climate Change and the Corporations

Another alert from Media Lens. While the media continues to play down or fail to do the homework on climate change, their operations remain heavily funded by ads linked to oil and automobile corporations.

Medialens - In his classic book, The Sane Society, published in 1955, psychologist Erich Fromm proposed that, not just individuals, but entire [...]
