If you live on the Gulf Coast, welcome to the real world of oil -- and just know that you’re not alone. In the Niger Delta and the Ecuadorian Amazon, among other places, your emerging hell has been the living hell of local populations for decades.

Gwyn Morgan and Soggy Propaganda |

Monday, 14 June 2010 14:14 |
I was reading the Globe and Mail article of June 14/10 "The Leaky Opposition to Water Exports" written by Gwyn Morgan the founding CEO of EnCana. After reading a few lines I thought "What a piece of corporate propaganda crap!" Mr. Morgan should be made to drink from the Gulf of Mexico. When have resource industries ever looked after the public interest? He mentions that there are all sorts of protective regulations in place without mentioning what they are and who is in charge under said unknown regulations, of protecting the public interest. |

The Gulf Spill Continues: Is Obama Powerless Against BP?
Shamus Cooke - After BP successfully placed a cap to divert some of the spewing oil into tankers, thousands of gallons continue to flow daily into the gulf. August is slated as the earliest date that any permanent solution may emerge. BP remains totally in charge of potentially the largest environmental disaster in the earth’s recorded history, a fact that proves — in “check mate” fashion — that corporations dominate the inner workings of the U.S. government, a truth previously revealed by the bank bailouts.

UN report says shift to vegetable-based diets needed to reduce climate change
Wednesday, June 2nd, 2010
A United Nations media release this hour states, “With current production and consumption of fossil fuels and food draining freshwater supplies, triggering losses of forests and other ecosystems and raising pollution levels, (a new UN) study concludes that dramatically reforming, rethinking and redesigning how the planet’s people are fed and fueled could spur environmental, social and economic returns. …Perhaps controversially, the report – by the International Panel for Sustainable Resource Management – also calls for a shift away from animal-based protein diets to more vegetable-based foods to ease pressure on the environment.” |
