Outcry Over Creation of GM Smallpox Virus
Posted: Saturday, January 22, 2005
Senior scientific advisers to the World Health Organisation (WHO) have recommended the creation of a genetically modified version of the smallpox virus to counter any threat of a bioterrorist attack.
Permitting researchers to engineer the genes of one of the most dangerous infections known to man would make it easier to develop new drugs against smallpox, the scientists said. But the man who led the successful global vaccination campaign to eradicate smallpox from the wild said he opposed the move on the grounds that the scientific benefits were not worth the risks to public health.

Tsunami death toll rises to 225,000
Posted: Wednesday, January 19, 2005
The death toll from the Boxing Day tsunami disaster increased to more than 225,000 today as the Indonesian health ministry raised the number of dead in the country by more than 50,000.
A statement said the new figure of 166,320 was based on fresh reports from the provinces of Aceh and North Sumatra. A senior ministry official said it included many people who had previously been listed.
In Sri Lanka, two government agencies met in an attempt to clarify a discrepancy of more than 7,000 in their lists of the dead, but both continued to insist theirs was the correct figure.
On Monday, the Public Security Ministry said 38,195 people had died, while the National Disaster Management Centre said 30,920 had been killed. Both agencies expect the final Sri Lankan figure to exceed 40,000.

When Colin Powell attempted to blind the world with science, to convince us that the regime of Saddam Hussein was too dangerous to tolerate, he spoke in front of a carefully hidden symbol of human outrage against war and the murder of innocent people.
Behind him, but covered by an arras, was Picasso's Guernica, a passionate protest in paint against the fascist warplanes of Hitler and Mussolini slaughtering the innocent civilians of the Spanish town of Guernica.

Saddam Hussein Was Right & Bush Was Wrong
Posted: Monday, January 17, 2005
You may remember that in 2002, the year before the Iraq War began, the United Nations Security Council ordered Iraq to produce a report detailing all of its biological, chemical, and nuclear weapons - past and present. Iraqi officials complied and produced an 11,800-page report on Iraq's weapons programs. The report described all the chemical and biological weapons the country once had - where they came from and what was done with them - as well as what had happened to Iraq's nuclear weapons program.
Although the report was prepared for the United Nations, U.S. officials intercepted the report, edited out 8,000 pages (over two thirds) of it, and delivered its Reader's Digest version of the report to the UN.
A German reporter managed to obtain a copy of the original report from Iraq, and then compared it with the truncated copy the U.S. gave to the UN. He found that the missing parts covered the Iraqis' acquisition of chemical and biological weapons from the U.S., the delivery of non-fissionable materials for a nuclear bomb by the U.S. to the Iraqis, and the training of Iraqi nuclear scientists at U.S. nuclear facilities in Los Alamos, Sandia, and Berkeley.
The basic points made in the report were:

Banana Republican America
Posted: Saturday, January 15, 2005
America is governed by one party rule, the press does not dare provoke that one party, the opposition party is afraid to oppose, the wealthy are getting wealthier by using the national treasury as their private piggy bank, civil liberties are under assault, workers think themselves lucky to earn starvation wages at Wal-Mart, and the man nominated to become the chief law enforcement official in the land has put in writing that torture is not such a bad thing after all.

The Madness of George W. Bush: A Reflection of Our Collective Psychosis
Bush's sickness is our own.
George W. Bush is ill. He has a psycho-spiritual disease of the soul, a sickness that is endemic to our culture and symptomatic of the times we live in. It’s an illness that has been with us since time immemorial. Because it’s an illness that's in the soul of all of humanity, it pervades the field and is in all of us in potential at any moment, which makes it especially hard to diagnose.

Venezuela cuts ties with Colombia
Posted: Friday, January 14, 2005
Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez has suspended diplomatic and trade links with neighbouring Colombia over a "violation of national sovereignty".
He said business dealings with Bogota will be frozen until it has apologised for the kidnap of a Marxist guerrilla chief from Venezuelan soil last month.
Colombia admits paying bounty hunters to help seize the rebel, but denies its agents violated Venezuelan sovereignty.

Leftists accuse CIA in rebel nab
Posted: Friday, January 14, 2005
The Venezuelan leftist group Tupamaro Revolutionary Movement on Thursday accused the CIA of having a hand in the abduction of a Colombian rebel in Caracas.
The accusation came as Venezuela called back its ambassador from Colombia in a growing diplomatic row over the capture of rebel Rodrigo Granda last month. Venezuela's decision followed an acknowledgment by Colombia that it paid bounty hunters for Granda's capture in Venezuela.
"We believe it is part of the policy the [U.S.] Department of State and CIA have developed, in concert with puppet governments in Latin America," said Jose Pinto, 53, secretary-general of Tupamaro, which supports President Hugo Chavez.

Vladimir Putin and the global realignment
Posted: Wednesday, January 12, 2005
Putin's fall from grace has been swift and steep. He's gone from the White House penthouse to the Crawford chicken coop in just a matter of weeks. The man who George Bush affectionately refers to as "Pootie-poot" is no longer the trusted ally and bosom companion he was in the first four years of the Bush regime. Instead, Washington is reassessing its connection to the Russian president and reshaping its foreign policy to fit the new developments.
On the surface, the Bush administration is limiting its criticism to Putin's increasingly autocratic behavior; foreclosing on regional elections, shutting down the free press, and upsetting the results of the Ukrainian election. The press has taken a similarly strident approach; offering hard-edged recriminations of his "authoritarian" and anti-democratic actions. It's all twaddle. The US would prefer to do business with tyrants and has offered its tacit support to nearly every despot on the planet.
