Coal to Liquids
PEJ News - This is an excerpt from an interesting internet forum. Check the link Coal-to-Liquids to read the article.
"It is not just environmental groups who are objecting to proliferation of coal-to-liquids technology. I am an energy engineer with 38+ years of experience. Coal-to-liquids is a red herring; a straw dog; a total waste of time, energy, money and talent; a boondoogle. A solution that solves the wrong problem."

US Armada En Route to the Persian Gulf: " Naval Blockade" or All Out War Against Iran?
Global Research - Michel Chossudovsky - August 13, 2008 - The World is at a very dangerous crossroads. America in alliance with NATO and Israel has embarked upon a military adventure. The Bush administration has launched with the approval of the US Congress a naval blockade against Iran, which could be a first step towards an all out war. Military sources report a massive deployment of US and allied naval power in the Persian Gulf, the Arabian Sea and the Red Sea directed against Iran.There has been a virtual media blackout regarding this naval deployment. The Western media, including the printed press and network TV have failed to meaningfully address these war preparations. While war plans directed against are casually acknowledged, the broader implications of a war on Iran are rarely analyzed. http://www.globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=va&aid=9817

PEJ News – Joan Russow – Global Compliance Research Project - August 11-14 2008 - Commentary on Ethics Committee deliberations.

On August 11-14, Parliamentary Ethics Committee heard witnesses revealing Conservative Party's funding scheme.
The Conservative Sponsorship Nemesis: Plumping up election expenses to increase rebates, using false spending estimates and potential rebates to secure advance private loans, ignoring Parliamentary committee subpoenas, subsidizing high profile international ad agency... The Conservatives won the last election by defrauding Elections Canada and Canadian citizens.
For the 2006 election the Conservative Party funded national ads through RETAIL MEDIA - a subsidiary of WPP whose clients below can be seen at http://www.wpp.com/wpp/companies/

"Secure Canada 2008" arms fair: Proposed Revised No-fly/no-entry list
PEJ News - Joan Russow(PhD) - Global Compliance Research Project - The Government of Canada prevents, in the name of security, peace activists, such as Medea Benjamin from Code Pink, to cross the border, but the Government will graciously open its borders to the International arms trade, yet again, for the exhibition "Secure Canada 2008" from Sept.30-Oct.1.
Perhaps the Governments needs some guidance for determining "who are the real security threats". The following is a series of suggestions to assist the government in the developing the No-fly/No-border-entry lists.
Any politician, military personnel, corporate executive, academic, religious leader, and scientist etc. who has initiated, aided and abetted, participate in, drawn benefit from destructive practices or actions related to militarism and corporatism . In other words, the Canadian government must ferret out “Snakes in the Grass” .
It is proposed that, at the information desk at the Airport, and at custom’s office at border crossing, employees must ask the following questions:

Iraq Veteran’s Spouse: Shooting Pigs Endangers Soldiers
PETA - Erin Martinez - As the proud spouse of an Iraq war veteran, I am well aware of the constant danger that soldiers face there and in Afghanistan—places where roads might be minefields and people might be bombs. Combat medics are our soldiers’ lifelines, and high-quality experience is essential to their preparedness. As a trained researcher and scientist, however, I am also well aware of the inherent flaws in programs that use live animals for trauma training. This is an unnecessary, outdated and unethical practice, and your tax dollars are funding it. www.PETA.org
