One little quote and the people of powerswitch land are jumping up and down - as usual! Get a grip guys. He's not the messiah and probably has less of a following than people think. What exactly was the context in which he said that about oil running out anyway. Again we don't know so why spend poin...

HA! Have they factored in speculative money which to my mind obscured all fundamentals last year. The vast wash of speculative money is what makes investing for the bit part player a virtually impossible prospect. i.e. the models are null and void if a major investment bank or bond manager decides ...

BBC News - 08/08/09 The UK's commitment to Afghanistan could last for up to 40 years, the incoming head of the Army has said. Gen Sir David Richards, who takes over on 28 August, told the Times the Army's role would evolve, but the process of "nation-building" would last decades. Article ...

Funilly enough there was a programme about the history of the security services on Radio 4 yesterday and the point was made that they never used blackmail as a tool for recruitment because it didn't work. It did not produce reliable and loyal informants so one would never know the value or truth of...

Here's a great excerpt from Newsnight broadcast in late 2007. It refers to a report which was produced by the Policy Exchange and which made the front pages of all the major newspapers. The Policy Exchange had sought to prove that many mosques and the muslims who visited them were turning to extremi...

If this vaccination program does have a sinister motive then it won't be due to the involvement of doctors or MP's. These people will simply be implementing what they believe to be the right course of action as you'd expect them to. Of course they could be inadvertently doing what those in power hop...

My wife, who is a GP in Bath, and the other doctors in her surgery are no longer swabbing people for swine flu. So many people are now coming in with the symptoms that they are just treated as having swine flu automatically. It's quite possible many people could have had the virus already without ev...

It was and is all about oil, just as Afghanistan and Pakistan are about a gas pipeline (TAPI versus IPI) I have to agree with WolfAtThe Door . I was reading something the other day which suggested that Iraq & Afghanistan are primarily about having a military presence in the region, to ensure oi...

Surely this was a PR stunt.

It had to happen. Terrorist suspects were on doomed Air France plane link However, the report originates from Fox News, so it's obviously the objective truth. Blimey, there was certainly a mixed bag of passengers on this flight. Key figures in global battle against illegal arms trade lost in Air Fr...

Ziggy...how rude. In the past year I have been on Marcellus drilling rigs, Bakken drilling rigs, Barnett drilling rigs, Devonian drilling rigs. B*llocks. You've been at your pc stirring up trouble and pretending you are something you are not. How else would you have found the time to come on this f...

Sensationalist rubbish on an EOTWAWKI website. This isn't an EOTWAWKI website but an anti-NWO platform for Alex Jones. Jones, and his followers, believe that climate change, peak oil, the credit crunch and problems such as swine flu are either fiction or engineered (in the case of swine flu) and fo...

Cheesy US ads for the 70's swine flu epidemic anyone?

I can't figure out why 'swine flu' is killing people in Mexico, but everywhere else it is being described as 'mild illness'? Is this simply down to the numbers and as more people outside Mexico are diagnosed then it is likely that some will be fatal? Secondly, I am still not convinced how much this...
