A nice collection of blogs.

About the new nuclear weapons the US is set to build and test, breaking yet another international treaty.

On legislation which is eroding UK citizen's rights.

How the UK is following the US in planning new nuclear bombs to use against 'terrorists and rogue states'.

There is some dissent on the US about the policies being undertaken by Bush and his advisors (i.e. actual rulers of the world). But it is very timid, given the frightening silent that has been imposed over anyone who disagrees with Bush's policies...

An article about distributed computing projects over the net. Includes links to many of those.

A Palestinian leader claims he is being tortured while in jail in Israel. Torture was outlawed in Israel only recently (1999), but apparently is still happening.

A good article on Palestine suicide bombers.

Why haven't we heard more about anthrax in the U.S.? Probably because it was produced by the U.S. military, in contravention of biological weapons treaties.

Yesterday Stephen Jay Gould died. His books were an inspiration for me and thousands of other would-be-scientists.

Dissent is not allowed in the U.S. It may be lawful, but the big press simply won't air any views against present international policy on Middle East, 'war on terror', Iraq and so on. Article by Jonathan Steele.

Bush is pushing the Missile Shield Defence into existence. In a few weeks silos will start to be built in Alaska. Good news for the American industry, bad news for the world. Article.

Bush is stupid and ignorant , says the prince who gently lectured him on the struggle of the Palestinians.

Colin Powell took back what his hawkish secretary had said about Cuba having helped other countries develop biological weapons. By saying this sort of lie about Cuba, they are probably trying to help Jeb Bush be reelected in Florida, and use the 'war on terror' childish ideology to justify political attacks.

More on the absurdity of the 'axis of evil'.

On an insidious new form of propaganda , taken up by the big corporations: web lobbying. Basically, these companies pay people to forge identities and infiltrate discussion groups etc., attacking their opponents (environmental groups for example) and disseminating lies. I think I have received such correspondence in my mailbox already.

About the sort of people that Israel defends in illegal settlements.

Tonight a programme on BBC2 shows how Chavez knew about the coming coup and how he prepared for it. Basically, a friend from OPEC told him that the US would organize the coup from fear that Venezuela would join some Arab countries in an embargo because of the us support of Israel. So the US is definitely implicated in the coup, as apparently Chavez himself says in the documentary. Check out an article about this.

The U.S. are gently propping the Afghanistan people towards democracy. This includes killing powerful men who obtained their power through CIA backing in the 1980's.

Article.

The U.S. are really using the new-found `war on terror' ideology to attack its political enemies. Now, because Cuba managed to develop their own vaccines and health system, the U.S. has put them in the infamous `axis of evil', saying they support states which may use bio-weapons.

An article on how we can control animals through electrodes and pleasure estimulation. Creepy!

An article on how we can control animals through electrodes and pleasure estimulation. Creepy!

Duncan Campbell's article in The Guardian commenting on U.S. role in South American coups, with emphasis on recent failed Venezuelan coup.

How the U.S. ousted the competent head of an international body in charge of chemical weapons inspections. His dangerous ideas:
1- Inspect the U.S. as well as other countries;
2- Inspect Iraq and remove one of the excuses the U.S. have not to go to war with that country.
The Guardian article.
