Farmers? Biggest Problems are Green Ideologues, not Climate Change Fri Apr 19, 2024 09:00 | Ben Pile
It's been a wet winter and this is bad news for farmers, says Ben Pile. But with agricultural yields increasing sharply over recent decades, there's no reason to link it to climate change or start catostrophising about it.

How Many Billions of People Would Die Under Net Zero? Fri Apr 19, 2024 07:00 | Chris Morrison
Chris Packham has hit back at claims made on GB News that half the world's population could die under Net Zero. But that seems like a fair estimate of the catastrophic harm of deindustrialisation, says Chris Morrison.

Let?s Spare the Environment From the Greens Thu Apr 18, 2024 17:00 | Alan Bunce
From the 3,200 acre solar farm built on prime green belt farmland in Oxford to the 16 million Scottish trees felled to make way for wind farms, somehow we have to save the environment from the greens, says Alan Bunce.

Jump To Comment: 1The sex predator smears and Mossad agent accusations that appeared against Wikileaks’ founder Julian Assange in 2010 are exactly the type of dirty tricks that Ms. Tinari-Modai proposed for dealing with opponents of Israel.
Julian Assange could be forcibly removed to Sweden as early as June 28. Under Swedish law he can be detained, and effectively held incommunicado, for months, even before any charges are brought against him .While held in Sweden it is expected that the US authorities will attempt to render the founder of Wikileaks to an American high security prison . The Obama administration has already prepared a secret Grand Jury indictment against Assange on charges of espionage because of WikiLeaks’ release of documents that exposed the war crimes of the US and other countries. The trumped up nature of the “sex pervert” charges leveled against Assange in the courts and through the media have been exposed on several occasions see this for example : http://www.wsws.org/articles/2010/nov2010/assa-n19.shtml
Western medias were selective in reproducing cables leaked by Wikileaks in 2010 . Newspapers such as the NYT and the Guardian gave prominent coverage to cables whose contents could be used to bolster US/ Israel in its confrontation with Iran . The NYT even boasted about how it had prepared its coverage of released cables with officials from the Obama administration. This Israel-biased reporting was then used by Assange’s enemies to insinuate that he was a Mossad agent with many such accusations made over the internet . Assange replied to those who made such accusations in this interview :
There has been speculation that you have the support of George Soros and Israeli intelligence service Mossad. Where do you think this is coming from?
(It is common) in the US to allege George Soros is behind everything. To be fair, the only vaguely conspiratorial things that George Soros has been behind is some of the 'Colour Revolutions' in Eastern Europe about five or six years ago that I know about.
As for Mossad, in the release of "Cablegate" material, there is no one spared. If you look closely, what has happened is that the New York Times as a media organisation has to be quite careful not to criticise Israel too much. So, if you look at the coverage in English that is coming out you will see little that is critical of Israeli behaviour and a lot critical of Iran, for example. That is not a true reflection of the "Cablegate" material. There is information in there that is critical of most countries - certainly including Israel.
There is a bias towards material that is critical of Iran because the information comes from US embassies and US diplomats reporting back to Washington. So, it does follow Washington's agenda in terms of what US diplomats and political officers are looking to report and what they do report back to Washington.
