Brain Diseases Affecting More People and Starting Earlier Than Ever Before
10th May, 2013
Professor Colin Pritchard’s latest research published in journal Public Health has found that the sharp rise of dementia and other neurological deaths in people under 74 cannot be put down to the fact that we are living longer. The rise is because a higher proportion of old people are being affected by such conditions — and what is really alarming, it is starting earlier and affecting people under 55 years.

Kerry Warns Assad
Posted by seumasach on May 16, 2013
The problem with miscalculating, as the Americans have over Syria, is that you end up mired in double-speak. To translate Kerry’s bizarre “war on terror” rhetoric: if you don’t negotiate with Al Qaida, who have no intention of negotiating with you, then we will increase our support for Al Qaida. In practice, of course, the Americans will come up with some more or less respectable “opposition” leader to front negotiations with Assad but are worried that the Syrians won’t bother to show up since they are winning anyway. The Americans need the peace conference to cover for their defeat
More Help to Rebels If You Do Not Negotiate
John Glaser
Secretary of State John Kerry warned the Syrian regime of Bashar al-Assad that if it chooses not to participate in upcoming international negotiations aimed at ending the country’s two-year conflict, then “the opposition will be receiving additional support.”

The prospects of a peaceful solution to the Syrian crisis is still a long way off. We won’t get an end to the violence until the foreign powers who have been fuelling the conflict, the US included, radically change their policies towards the country.

Cameron threat to prosecute oil bosses
Posted by seumasach on May 16, 2013
Could this be the beginning of the long role-back against corporate encroachments into every aspect of British society and economy. As always there is some unaccountable body, here the so-called The Office of Fair Trading playing a somewhat questionable role. There is an obvious prima facie case for price fixing since pump prices only go up whilst oil prices go up and down. Instead of politician-bashing all the time we urgently need to focus attention on regulatory and supervisory bodies
15th May, 2013
The Prime Minister said he will urgently look at “extending criminal offences” to cover market manipulation in the energy sector, after BP and Shell were raided by European authorities on suspicion of rigging oil prices.

Anti-Syria position at UN weakens
Posted by seumasach on May 16, 2013
All five BRICS, Brazil,Russia,India,China and South Africa voted against or abstained, reflecting the inexorable shift in global power away from the West. The commentaries of Amnesty International represent an a priori position and can be discounted. This resolution is as the Russians pointed out destructive but not nearly as destructive as the remaining wreckers would have wished. By the way, the “regime” in Syria certainly doesn’t appear to be “tottering”

India abstains on Syria resolution
Posted by seumasach on May 16, 2013
Explaining India’s decision to abstain on the resolution, the Indian Ambassador to the UN Asoke Kumar Mukerji cautioned the members of the General Assembly that unilateral action of any kind would not resolve the crisis.
“It will only exacerbate the problem and cause greater instability and violence even beyond Syria’s borders,” he said.
“Whether a group, any group, is the legitimate representative of the Syrian people or not can only be determined by the Syrian people, not this Assembly,” Mukerji stressed.
“Therefore certain provisions of this resolution can be interpreted as effecting regime change by sleight of hand. This is a dangerous precedent which we cannot acquiesce in.
“We would once again reiterate our position that the leadership of Syria is a matter for Syrians to decide themselves,” said the Indian Ambassador.

The tempo of events in Syria has accelerated in recent weeks. The government forces have scored significant battlefield victories over the rebels, and this has provoked a mixture of war provocations and peace offers from the U.S. and its anti-Assad allies.
