Is there any real chance of averting the climate crisis?
By James Hansen
Professor James Hansen is director of Nasa's Goddard Institute for Space Studies in New York. His latest book is Storms of My Grandchildren.
Nasa's James Hansen was the first to point out the perils of climate change to the US Congress. Here, he begins a heated debate with experts from around the world, from China to the threatened Maldives, and argues that our leaders must be shaken out of their complacency. But will they show enough courage at next week's Copenhagen summit to take the first steps to saving the planet?
The Climate Summit in Copenhagen Must Be Cancelled!
by Helga Zepp-LaRouche
Cancel the Copenhagen Climate Summit! This statement was released by the Civil Rights Solidarity Movement (BüSo), a German political party, on Nov. 27, and has been translated from German.
The Climate Summit in Copenhagen, which is to take place from Dec. 6 to 18, and in which 193 nations, approximately 65 heads of government, and up to 20,000 delegates are to participate, is based on a gigantic fraud, and must immediately be cancelledâ€"and not only to save the substantial expenses for this neo-malthusian propaganda event, whose real aim consists in establishing a de facto world government.
Jared Diamond’s Noble Savage Collapse
by Robert Singer
Jean-Jacques Rousseau in his early writing contended that man is essentially good, a "noble savage" when in the "state of nature" (the state of all the other animals, and the condition man was in before the creation of civilization and society), and that good people are made unhappy and corrupted by their experiences in society. He viewed society as "artificial" and "corrupt" and that the furthering of society results in the continuing unhappiness of man.
Put another way, in the beginning civilized humans were hunters and gatherers, when we started wearing clothes made out of cotton, using deodorant, living in houses and using toilet paper we became savages.
The only difference between civilized “savages” and 20th century man is we used our opposing thumb to conquer Mother Earth.
Posts, blogs and comments just don’t disappear. Posts, blogs and comments are Scrubbed…from the Internet
by Robert Singer
The “predators of data freedom” were stalking the Internet before 9/11 but after the alleged “Arab terrorist” attack their chutzpah seems to have no limits.
Here is one of my favorite scrub stories. It happened in April of 2009, when Googling the title of my article, Preparing for World War III: August 15, 1871, I came across a thread at AboveTopSecret in the [HOAX!] alternative topics forum.
As of August 25, 2009 a search of “1871” at the ATS Hoax forum produced the following result:

- Governments are now lifting the restrictions and allowing their citizens to buy gold.
- Backwardation in Gold & Silver - Tuesday 17th November 2009, Silver and mining stocks urge caution, but backwardation says gold's run could continue...Gold Traders currently have their eye on two non-confirmations that so far have refused to "answer" gold's push to new all time nominal highs, writes Gene Arensberg in his Got Gold report from Houston for the Gold Newsletter.
Recall the baffling news events from November 2009?
The following will help you understand what’s really going on:
Beautiful views, shame about the neighbours
By: Anne-Siri, EA in Yanoun
Nahla Mahmoud and her family live near the top of a hill overlooking Asira Al Qibliyya, a Palestinian village in the West Bank. From their garden, they can see houses and farms spreading out across the valley below. On a clear day, they can see the waters of the Mediterranean to the West and the Jordan Valley to the East.
But the views up here in the Nablus hills come at a high price: the family lives on the front line of attacks by armed Israeli settlers. The hilltop above them is dominated by the illegal settlement of Yitzhar. Its residents regularly attack Nahla’s family and damage their property. Autumn is a peak time for clashes between Israeli settlers and Palestinians in the West Bank, as it is when Palestinian farmers harvest their olives. Many have trees in areas near the settlements, but cannot reach them for fear of violence.
Limbaugh Commits Prosecutable Treason
by Len Hart The Existentialist Cowboy
Rush Limbaugh has urged a military coup over throw the current government in Washington. That is a prosecutable crime called 'seditious treason' and there is probable cause to indict Rush Limbaugh and put him on trial.
Whoever knowingly or willfully advocates, abets, advises, or teaches the duty, necessity, desirability, or propriety of overthrowing or destroying the government of the United States or the government of any State, Territory, District or Possession thereof, or the government of any political subdivision therein, by force or violence, or by the assassination of any officer of any such government;
Indian Cold Start doctrine
Asif Haroon Raja
Strategic alliance with USA helps India in fulfilling its grandeur plans to become the regional and world power. In 1971, Soviet Union had helped India in achieving a false military victory and in truncating Pakistan. Indians now hope that America would help in fulfilling their dream of either reducing Pakistan into an Indian satellite or removing it from the face of world map. It is in this context that Indo-US-UK-Israeli-Afghan nexus has been formed in Kabul which is dedicated towards harming Pakistan. Both covert means and media campaign are complementing each other to achieve stated objectives. The Indo-western media has embarked upon a malicious campaign to besmirch the reputation of institutions of Pakistan and project it as a failing state. All sorts of fairytales are fabricated and pasted in leading newspapers and magazines controlled by the Jews. Deadlines are given and each time the given the given date expires uneventfully; a new deadline of collapse of Pakistan is given with a heavy heart but with renewed hopes.
President Obama, the little town of Bethlehem and Americans for Palestinian Equal Rights
eileen fleming
Bethlehem was the birthplace of King David and Jesus, but today it is an open-air prison, occupied by Israel's military forces and encircled by Israel's wall.
The Exodus of the Christian population is directly related to the misery and injustice they endure under a brutal military occupation.
Putting Christ back in Christmas should mean remembering that he too was born, lived and died under a brutal military occupation.
The "But For" costs: Why we’re broke
By Jeff Gates
Though brilliant in its simplicity and the ability to convey the scope and scale of this ongoing disaster, the presentation understates the long-term costs of this latest war.
In addition, it provides no means to identify the parties that brought us to this perilous point. It was Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz who in Congressional testimony assured us Americans that the war in Iraq would cost no more than $50 billion, that it would be quickly over, that we would be welcomed, and that the costs would be recovered from the sale proceeds of Iraqi oil. As with the intelligence fixed around this same goal, none of what Wolfowitz said was true.
