LIVE ACTION: Greenpeace delegation boards Arctic... →
It never really gets dark here in the Arctic but in the soft silver light of the early morning five inflatable speedboats left the side of the Esperanza. They carried a delegation of eighteen activists and headed for the giant Leiv Eiriksson looming on the horizon. Their mission – to find Cairn’s elusive Oil Spill Response Plan. Cairn is hiding it so we’re going to the one place where there...

Tortured and killed by Syrian Authorities: Hamza... →
verbalresistance: The mutilation and death in custody of a 13-year-old child has sparked further furious protests in Syrian city of Daraa. Hamza’s mutilated, castrated corpse was riddled with bullet holes and burn marks. Hamza al-Khateeb used to love it when the rains came to his small corner of southern Syria, filling up the farmers’ irrigation channels enough so that he and the other...

Libya conflict: UN accuses both sides of war... →
verbalresistance: Rights experts said they had found evidence of crimes including murder and torture, in a pattern suggesting Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi was behind them. The UN mission also said opposition forces were guilty of abuses that would constitute war crimes, although they were not as numerous. Earlier, Nato extended its mission in Libya by a further 90 days. The UN...

sarah2009: GENEVA — A U.N. human rights expert says gruesome new footage from the final days of Sri Lanka’s civil war is authentic and proves war crimes took place there, challenging the government’s claim that videos showing the army executing captured rebels in May 2009 are faked. The U.N.’s independent investigator on extrajudicial killings says the five-minute video obtained by Britain’s...

5 Things the US Mass Media Got Wrong on Egypt →
It is impressive that the US mass media has managed to conduct round-the-clock coverage of the uprising in Egypt given how little resources and few reporters they have on the ground, the few who are there had been parachuted in late last week, lacking context, perspective, and often facts. But that never stopped US mass media. Aside from the oft-errant reporting, there are a few mistakes the US...

Drilling in the Arctic is reckless, dangerous – and unnecessary at a time when anenergy revolution has been proved possible. The British foreign office believes anyoil spill in Arctic waters would be impossible to deal with. Yet Cairn Energy is going to drill off the coast of Greenland – without making its oil spill response plan public. Experience has shown that we cannot trust oil companies...

What Really Matters
awakenourworld: People without homes don’t care if your teeth are white. Children forced to fight in war don’t care if you’re skinny. Girls sold into the sex industry don’t care if your skin is tan. People dying of hunger and disease don’t care what you look like. You can’t make a difference in the world by being attractive. Stop looking in the mirror. Start looking out the window.
