Shao Jiang and his wife

London thugs have not told protester Shao Jiang and his wife what "conspiracy" they suspect him of.

Legal aid for ex-cons

vendredi 30 octobre 2015 à 01:00

The US must give all ex-cons legal aid in getting over the barrier separating them from a life of non-crime.

While I agree, I think we need to do much more. Mere legal aid won't enable ex-cons to have an option other than stealing food.

Global heating could start wars

The Pentagon is very concerned that global heating could start more wars in the near future.

Chevron paid judge to lie

vendredi 30 octobre 2015 à 01:00

Chevron's US case against Ecuador (to avoid paying the damages Chevron owes for pollution from oil wells) was based on one corrupt witness, a former judge in Ecuador, who has now testified that Chevron paid him to lie.

It appears that the US judge that presided over the trial split hairs so as to find in Chevron's favor despite the untrustworthiness of this witness.

I wonder what convinced him to do that.

Permanent oppression of Palestinians

vendredi 30 octobre 2015 à 01:00

Netanyahu says he intends to continue Israel's occupation of Palestine indefinitely.

By rejecting both an independent state of Palestine and equal rights in Israel for Palestinians, he chooses permanent oppression, and no longer even hides it.

Palestinians have no partner for peace, so they are turning towards the idea of a competition of birthrates.

The ultra-orthodox Israelis and the right-wing fanatics are competing back, bringing the prospect of an overpopulated country which can't survive at all, especially if global heating goes to work.
