Your Holiness, Your Graces,  Prime Minister, Deputy Prime Minister, Foreign Secretary, 

I apologise for this multiple sending, but time is of the essence. So much blood has been spilt in the illegal invasion of Iraq, that it is hard to comprehend, with the upper figure of deaths, since 2003 being estimated at 1.4 million.  Nearly five million souls (4.7) are displaced, internally and externally, according to UNHCR, a million widows and five millions orphans have been created, according United Nations Agencies.

For Cuba October is a month full of important historical dates. In this month our people began to write the glorious pages of their wars for the independence, which would last nearly one century until the Revolution triumphed in 1959. Since 1992, the tenth month pleases us on two accounts because it is when the U.N. General Assembly votes the resolution to put an end to the 50 year long economic war unleashed by the White House against the island nation. Read the rest of this entry »

What about the H1NI influenza fiasco?

Posted by seumasach on October 26, 2010

We cannot accept that the Commission still believes that there still exists such a danger. Then why don’t they remove the reference?

Even more unbelievable is that the criminal clowns of Britian’s medical-industrial complex are going to keep on injecting people.
