Monday, 23 February 2009 Police are preparing to face a “summer of rage” in the UK as people join protests over the economic downturn, says a senior Met Police officer. “Known activists” were likely to foment unrest, with the recession creating more “footsoldiers” to join them, Supt David Hartshorn told the Guardian. The G20 meeting in London in April is expected to be a focus of protests. BBC home editor Mark Easton said signs of anger would “not necessarily translate into action on the streets”. Supt Hartshorn is regularly briefed on potential civil unrest, as head of Scotland Yard’s public order branch. Read the rest of this entry » |

Electromagnetic fields (EMFs) are the essence of life—enabling and activating our genes to make us different from other animals. We are, after all, almost identical to chimpanzees when it comes to 98.8 percent of our genes. The reason we are very different from chimpanzees is, in large part, because of the evolutionarily programmed influence of EMFs.

About a thousand protesters have flocked to the streets of the Ukrainian city of Sevastopol, to rally against the government’s handling of the economy.
They called for the government’s resignation and new and fair elections.
“President Yushchenko, the government of Tymoshenko and the parliamentary majority consisting of oligarchs and NATO henchmen, who have shown that they are unable to get the country out of the crisis,”read a resolution of the rally participants. “Ukraine needs a total change of power, otherwise it will face famine, ruin and death.”
Many protesters headed to the city from other towns in Crimea to rally against growing unemployment and spiralling living costs.

“Another day, another scandal,” someone wrote in the comments the other day – and ain’t it the truth. A day hardly passes around here with some dirty deed being dredged up from the cesspool that is Iceland’s economic collapse.

The World Economic Forum took place in Davos Switzerland last week. The global picture enabled a nice snapshot of sentiment, fault for the crisis, blame doled out, the vacuum of leadership, the perks for blunderers in a country club setting (instead of prison), and warnings on a potential situation that could spiral out of control. Amidst all the finger pointing, surprisingly little blame was given to themselves, the corporate chieftains in attendance. Let’s be clear! The Davos Forum was a funeral wake, and Putin rode in on a white horse to announce there is a new sheriff in town!! Davos afforded a unique opportunity for Russian self-styled leader Vladimir Putin to storm the forum stage and to steal the show. Putinpresented a basic Blueprint for what should be called ‘The Post-US World’ as the United States and United Kingdomhave lost the mantle of leadership and control. They lost it from failed economic policy, wrecked banking systems, fraud-ridden bond markets, corrupted debt ratings agencies, abuse of IMF & World Bank, and the severe backfire of economies that depended upon housing bubbles. Inflation turned on its haughty financial engineers! Nations with insolvent banks, insolvent households, corporations in liquidation, economies in near collapse, they tend not to be good owners and custodians of the global reserve currency!!!

More than 50 MPs have signed an Early Day Motion tabled by the MP Bob Russell, who represents Colchester and is a long-time Butterfly Conservation member.
It states that:
this House registers its deep concern at the decline in the butterfly population, with numbers reported by the charity Butterfly Conservation to be at their lowest for 25 years, with the small tortoiseshell showing the biggest decline of 81 per cent; congratulates the thousands of volunteers who each year provide information for the UK Butterfly Monitoring Scheme operated by Butterfly Conservation and the Centre for Ecology and Hydrology; welcomes the comments of Sir David Attenborough, President of Butterfly Conservation, who is promoting an appeal to raise funds for the charity’s Stop Extinction Appeal; and calls on the Government to promote cross-departmental policies to assist in safeguarding Britain’s butterflies
Environmentalists of every shade have an answer: throw money at research. That is not exactly an answer. It dismisses everything
of substance that has been said previously, out of hand.
For example; will any of this money be earmarked to look at the effects of electromagnetic radiation on our environment? Read the rest of this entry »
