Latest development for the troubled energy giant in what is rapidly becoming a year of bad news is that the Nigerian election may be fought on plans to nationalise the country's natural resources. It seems to be an emerging pattern that as energy becomes scarce, states don't like the idea of their oil and gas being sold or (in some cases) given away to transnational companies like Shell. It seems unlikely, but who knows what is going to happen, maybe the general election in Ireland will be fought on similar issues. On a day when the minister for justice is moaning about the cost of tribunals, and asking why the money spent there can't be used for parts of the economy which are underfunded like the Health Service, perhaps some smart candidate will start to question why the 51 Billion euro that the Corrib and associated fields are worth could not be used to fund something useful for the Irish economy. Maybe even a tribunal of inquiry into the giveaway itself. read full story / add a comment

The Australian Prime Minister, John Howard, has managed to gain some international attention after his hysterical attack on presidential candidate, Barack Obama. The seasoned Australian politician knowingly stated that a victory for Obama OR the Democrats would be a victory for al-Qaeda, “I mean, if I we're running al-Qaeda in Iraq, I would put a circle around March 2008 and pray as many times as possible for a victory not only for Obama but also for the Democrats”. read full story / add a comment

IRELAND has put off signing a UN treaty that bans governments carrying out forced disappearances and jailing people in secret. The treaty criminalises anybody involved in the CIA secret renditions and forces countries to prosecute those involved. The US has said it will not ratify it. Britain, Germany, Italy and Spain have also refused to sign. They have all been associated with the CIA’s kidnapping of terror suspects and with Ireland will be named in a European Parliament report tomorrow. read full story / add a comment

John Howard, known internationally as a Bush lackey, shameless coward, racist and abandoner of Australian citizens in trouble, today levelled a criticism at U.S. Presidential candidate, Barak Obama. The ‘aluminium tubing’ Prime Minister stated that Obama’s Iraq policy would “completely destabilise and destroy Iraq”. Howard seems ‘completely’ oblivious to the FACT that his participation in the illegal invasion and occupation of Iraq has ALREADY COMPLETELY DESTABILISED AND DESTROYED Iraq! read full story / add a comment

The ever increasing, unmentionable death toll of U.S. military expansionism in the Middle East, Eastern Europe and elsewhere exceeds one million souls. The human casualties have achieved unification and consensus at last! The slogan of death is unutterable, perfectly silent and devastatingly effective! Devoid of tribe, nation, race, religion and every other divisive factor that contributed to their demise, all humans are united in death – they are finished! In death there are no ideologies, 'critical issues' or causes. read full story / add a comment

China's President Hu Jintao re-establishes trade links with Africa vowing not to interfere with the sovereign rights of African nations. The net result of this soft approach is African nations clamouring to the Chinese whose trade links with Africa extend thousands of years into the past. Archaeologists have uncovered the remains of large African port cities containing artefacts and trade material from China and Africa. Large amounts of ceramics, ivory, gems, precious metals and a wealth of other artefacts reveal a long history of lively and thriving two-way trade between the two continents. read full story / add a comment

Despite overwhelming testimony from independent scientific experts as publicised by Counterpunch [3], Popular Mechanics [4] and South Park [5] the documentary is spreading a pall of confusion and misinformation about 9/11.
