Illegal: US Supreme Court’s ruling of Torture Bay
The US Supreme Court ruled today that Guantanamo Bay detention/torture centre was illegal (by implication) and the kangaroo military commission established to try the detainees is in breach of the Geneva Convention, well duh! Expert international lawyers stated the plain facts – illegality – of the matter from the start. Who could accuse the ‘slow to see daylight’ US court system of bias? Surely the principal pillars of American ‘justice’ could not be influenced by Bush or his neo-cons?...

Warren Buffett Missed the Elephants
Amid the hype over billionaire Warren Buffett's mega-gift to the Gates Foundation it might be time to consult India's Jains, who know a little something about giving away a fortune to gain the world.

San Francisco Vexatious Litigant Suit -- A Personal View
The San Francisco City Attorney's office has dropped the suit it filed last month to declare me a "vexatious litigant." I almost wish that I had lost. At least then I could have worn a tee shirt that said, "San Francisco Declared Me a Vexatious Litigant." Several people have suggested I write an overview of the case. I have adopted a more conversational tone than usual, which seemed somehow to be the only way....

The USA pushes Australia into the arms of China
The Zionists in Washington (Perle, Wolfowitz etc) have the entire Bush regime distracted. While America fights all of Israel’s major wars in the Middle East – to no advantage whatsoever for America – the most strategically important regions in the world are left to other nations. As world power shifts inexorably eastward, to China, America is at a loss to meet the challenges of the future....
