Yet another story of nationalisation in the oil and gas industry. There may also be some interest in the fact that the attempts to raise consciousness of the potential pitfalls of getting involved in projects like Corrib don't rate a mention. read full story / add a comment

While the government is busily celebrating the greed festival that are SSIAs, (the scheme by which the already well off are made even more well off by the much less well off) they are showing a much less generous attitude to the hapless folk who have gone online to order a few cheap CDs and DVDs from other countries – almost certainly Christmas presents in most cases. read full story / add a comment

Everyone remembers the appalling events surrounding the murder of anti-Shell activists including Ken Saro Wiwa in Nigeria in 1995. But the hot summer of ''95 was also the year of the Greenpeace campaign against Shell UK to stop the company from dumping the Brent Spar platform at sea. Talking to Shell people, you find that they still feel that they were right, and the British environmental group was misguided when it campaigned to have the disused rig dismantled on shore. But nevertheless, the debate was certainly won by Greenpeace, with Shell eventually giving in after a large scale campaign of direct action, blockades, occupations and pickets. The fact that Russian environmentalists have got in touch with the lawyers who represented Greenpeace, as outlined in the Guardian story below, must be causing disquiet in the Shell boardroom. They can only hope that Russian internal politics might mean a way out for them, or else their shareholders will have more to worry about in 2007. read full story / add a comment

After hearing that John Ward was savagely beaten, blasted with a shotgun and then executed with a second close-range blast when he was crawling away and no doubt aware of Nally's complaint that John was "like a badger" - he could'nt kill him with the spar of wood, the jury's "care and consideration" was evidenced in their verdict. read full story / add a comment

Over the Christmas, on some channel at some time of the day or night, it is pretty inevitable that Billy Wilder's excellent film, Some Like It Hot, will be shown. In the movie, when Tony Curtis wants to impress Marilyn Monroe about how financially secure he is, he picks up a sea shell and holds it up, to indicate that his investments are secure and, to say the least, high-yield. Recently however, a slew of financial and economic pundits have been sounding warnings about the company's future. Problems with the Sakhalin 2 project in Russia, the Bolivian re-nationalisation, and the worsening security situation in Nigeria, are making investors wonder whether there is a deep problem with the way Shell do things. read full story / add a comment

Corporate power and rulership in western societies is complete, governments either conform to corporate dictates or are quickly replaced by compliant political alternatives. The management of information via the monopolised mass media and the complete domination of the economy maintain and sustain corporate supremacy. The masses suffer increased subjection (debt slavery) and vulnerability (limited options) as a result of decreased representation by governments. Corporate rule has reduced the real status of the public to servility and subservience, not dissimilar to the ancient Roman model of kept house-slaves. The belief that Roman slaves were constantly maltreated is based on erroneous images (whipped galley-slaves) that Hollywood and the entertainment industry have popularised. Ancient Roman slaves lived in basic but tolerable conditions, similar (in relative terms) to the servile masses of today. read full story / add a comment
