Some recent stories;
5 September THE GREAT GLOBAL COAL RUSH 8 June MASSACRES AND PARAMILITARY LAND SEIZURES BEHIND THE BIOFUEL REVOLUTION 30 April HOW MULTICULTURALISM IS BETRAYING WOMEN 9 March JUICING THE STOCK MARKET; THE SECRET MANEUVERINGS OF THE PLUNGE PROTECTION TEAM 16 February RUSSIA THREATENS TO QUIT ARMS TREATY 2 October 2006 INSIDE BURMA'S REBEL ARMY: THE STRUGGLE AGAINST A REGIME PROPPED UP BY FOREIGN OIL

Also in this section; THE MATERIAL BASIS OF ACCUMULATION (Great article, shame about the title!) - full article by Stan Goff. "Our world crisis is analyzed in the three dimensions of resource depletion, economic injustice, and the dynamics of political power in a period of systemic breakdown. Mainstream progressives still discuss economic and social justice without discussing Peak Oil; they share with the free market economists a blissful ignorance of thermodynamic reality. But conversely, many Peak Oil discussions neglect the explosive political energies which might erupt from below during the disaster-process...."
WHY BRITAIN IS GOING TO WAR - full article by John Smith. Essential reading for background - UK involvement in Iraq since the 1920's including bombing Kurdish villages, CIA involvement in the 1963 coup and with Saddam Hussein, the economic interests involved, the forging of the UK-USA "special relationship" .... You can also download the article in pdf format.
A separate POLITICS page lists the various relevant sections scattered over the website.

NEW PAGES include;

SOME OTHER RECENT ALTERATIONS

09.03.06 Started displaying adverts by Google on some pages of this site. I have never taken paid ads before, and am wary of advertising products or websites whose ethos or business I disapprove of. But I am tempted by the possibility of getting some income from this website, which is now getting reasonable traffic and very good search engine results! Any feedback welcome... Please note that some of the ads will be for USA and other foreign sites, often this is where there are not enough UK advertisers for the topic of the webpage. I can block ads I do not want on the site, but the process takes a little while to implement, so please forgive any appearance of ads for get-rich-quick schemes, etc.!
