The reckless depredations of corporate power and neo-Malthusian enthusiasts within the elite threaten our environment and our very survival. EM radiation,disappearing bees and pollinators, heavy metal toxicity, GM crops and soil depletion are amongst the most immediate dangers we face.

The oil disaster in the Gulf of Mexico is a corporate crime whose magnitude almost defies comprehension. The eventual cost—combining damage to complex Gulf and coastal ecosystems, wiping out of the fishing and tourism industries, and long-term health consequences for the population of the region—is likely to total over $1 trillion.

So far the USDA has dismissed cell phones as possible cause of CCD; one of the reasons given was that areas without cell phones still suffered. There was no published evidence on this, and there is evidence to show that bees travel over ten miles away from the hive; there is also hidden radiation from military installations, not registered as normal cell phone activity. Most of the other reports describe cell phones as an “unlikely” source without much more comment. This is while there have been many reports that pinpoint cell phones as a harmful carcinogenic (from Germany to India), most of the prominent ones can be found on this website. This report signifies a new development. At least that there may be a fresh start on studying CCD, without previous prejudices. ” Many other causes of colony collapse disorder have been proposed, including increased pesticide use and cell phone signal interference. The USDA hopes this study either finds or eliminates possible causes.” Maybe they should learn how to google!
South Dakota’s state insect may be industrious, but it’s also in danger. The honeybee, which was introduced to North America by colonists from Holland in 1638, is a vital but often-forgotten part of food production. Read the rest of this entry »

On May 27th, more than a month into the worst environmental disaster in U.S. history, Barack Obama strode to the podium in the East Room of the White House. For weeks, the administration had been insisting that BP alone was to blame for the catastrophic oil spill in the Gulf – and the ongoing failure to stop the massive leak. “They have the technical expertise to plug the hole,” White House spokesman Robert Gibbs had said only six days earlier. “It is their responsibility.” The president, Gibbs added, lacked the authority to play anything more than a supervisory role – a curious line of argument from an administration that has reserved the right to assassinate American citizens abroad and has nationalized much of the auto industry. “If BP is not accomplishing the task, can you just federalize it?” a reporter asked. “No,” Gibbs replied.

Most Americans know that politicians make promises they never fulfill; few know that politicians make promises they lack the means to fulfill, as President Obama’s political posturing on the Deepwater Horizon disaster in the Gulf of Mexico makes perfectly clear.

The Obama Administration and senior BP officials are frantically working not to stop the world’s worst oil disaster, but to hide the true extent of the actual ecological catastrophe. Senior researchers tell us that the BP drilling hit one of the oil migration channels and that the leakage could continue for years unless decisive steps are undertaken, something that seems far from the present strategy.

I’ve never paid much attention to conspiracy theories, but then I began to think about it and started asking myself “what if” questions.
What if some elite group believes that we were doing irreversible damage to the planet and that earth can not support a growing human population. Indeed this is what many people think so this “what if” doesn’t have to be restricted to the thinking of “some elite group”.

As a scientist Dr Paddy Reagan knows that ICNIRP isn’t a thoroughly corrupt body that thinks Chernobyl didn’t constitute a significant public health threat. He knows WHO and the HPA “have no axe to grind”. He knows that millions of people claiming to be effected by proximity to EM emitting devices doesn’t constitute evidence because there might be some other explanation. He knows that controlling the review process is the best way to weed out studies which aren’t “useful” He knows no effect doesn’t mean there is absolutely no effect- there could be some effect but not very much and that’s just tough luck anyway. He boasts that, as a physicist, he knows that moving electrons generate electric fields but does he know anything about biology and, in particular, the role of EM radiation in life processes?

Humans will not be the lone beneficiaries of a study recently sought by the chief minister on the ill-effects of radiation from cellphones and Mumbai’s 1,000-plus cellphone towers. The initiative may just come to the timely rescue of the city’s endangered honeybee population.

Cellphone towers mushrooming across Delhi have become a major health hazard, having raised electromagnetic radiation (EMR) exposure in the city to dangerous – and often fatal – levels. At risk are schools, markets, hospitals and even venues of the Commonwealth Games.

Regardless of whether we are actually bombing another country at a given moment, we are permanently at war in other ways such as this outrageous attack on our own population. Permanent militarisation is a threat to us all.

The Ministry of Defence turned large parts of the country into a giant laboratory to conduct a series of secret germ warfare tests on the public.
