I’ve been invited to give a lecture at Arizona State University (USA) this fall on evolutionary science and its uses in progressive activism. The version of the lecture I wanted to give turned out to be 4 hours long, so I recorded that version in 13 tracks and posted it on my website for free download at www.newbookforanewworld.com/lecture. read full story / add a comment

Olin Eugene Armstrong, Jr., (June 5, 1953 - September 20, 2004) an American contractor working in Iraq for the construction firm Gulf Energy Company of the United Arab Emirates, was beheaded on September 20, 2004 by the Tawhid and Jihad, a militant group led by Abu Musab al-Zarqawi. Abu Musab al-Zarqawi is believed to have personally beheaded Armstrong. The following day, the group beheaded another hostage, American Jack Hensley, and threatened to kill their third hostage, Briton Kenneth Bigley, unless the United States met their demands to free all women prisoners in Iraqi jails. Armstrong, also known by his nickname "Jack", grew up in the south-central Michigan community of Hillsdale, where he lived until 1990. This is how he died on September 20, 2004 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ncdyBjd1Csw read full story / add a comment

I shouldn’t be so harsh on the Americans; it took me years to discover I had a nose on my face but I was at a disadvantage, there is only one of me. Imagine the cost (tax payer’s money) involved in maintaining not one bloated ‘intelligence’ agency, but sixteen! After a period of three years, sixteen U.S. intelligence agencies have finally determined the sky is blue, people have noses on their faces and that the illegal Iraq intervention increased the ‘terrorist’ threat – bravo! [Where do I sign, that’s the job for me, or are these agencies selective basket cases – incompetent relatives, banjo players and those owed favours only need apply?] read full story / add a comment

This time its an German production thats at risk. Whos for supporting the right to stage Mozart productions? You dont get any Christians rioting when Salome is staged and John the Baptists head is on display. This production is non-discriminatory: it uses the severed heads not only of the Greek god of the sea, Poseidon, but also of Mohammed, Jesus and Buddha.

Last week 2 officers of the French police force were attacked while doing thier rounds in one of the sink estates that adorn every urban centre in that country. Nothing strange in that you may say. They dress like soldiers these days because they're used to being attacked. But Sarkozy saw his opportunity to highlight like no other can - the difference a poor unfashionable neighbourhood enjoys in "comunity policing". Yesterday afternoon a force of at least 200 riot police "surgically extracted" 12 teenage suspects from the Corbeil-Essonnes / Tarterets housing estate of Paris. Somewhere buses don't go coz they were all burned last year. read full story / add a comment

Perhaps the two most feared words in the English language today are “suicide bomber”; the propaganda machine in the west ensures that these two words continue to strike fear and terror into the hearts of the civilian population. Circumstances occasionally present all of us with unusual opportunities. When a young man who claimed the above distinction wished to make known his story it would have been a dereliction of my profession to refuse the request. The public interest is not served unless both sides of a story are made available. read full story / add a comment

Anyone able to cast their mind back over the Robocop film franchise should be able to recall the many Omni Consumer Product ads featured in the film with their distinct dystopian undertones amidst a sea of promise. A similar style of ad has been circulating on the Irish inter-web as a viral video. Produced by the 'multi-disciplined, multi- talented' Wasaki Global Corporation it details the plans to build three islands off the coast of Dublin, complete with a replica Howth, 42,000 flats, 3 golf courses, several motor-ways and a giraffe only zoo. Yeah right says you., next they'll try and resurrect Atlantis. Word on the blogosphere would suggest that it's the work of an ad agency called Chemistry who conceived it as a stunt to launch new property website Funda Ireland. Clever bastards, eh? Well clever enough to take in a certain Labour politician on Morning Ireland earlier today. read full story / add a comment

From Warsaw in Poland to Nouakchott in Mauretania 7th of October 06: Transnational Actionday against migration-control One year after the escalations in Ceuta and Melilla a broad network of Migration related initiatives call for freedom of movement in a transnational day of action. In dozens of cities in Europe and also in Africa manifestations and demonstrations are in preparation for 7th of October. It was decided to organize such a day of migration-related actions at the European Social Forum in May 2006, when about 15.000 people from different social movements met in Athens. read full story / add a comment
