Climate change PROVED to be 'nothing but a lie', claims top meteorologist
"The debate about climate change is finished - because it has been categorically proved NOT to exist, one of the world's leading meteorologists has claimed.
John Coleman, who co-founded the Weather Channel, shocked academics by insisting the theory of man-made climate change was no longer scientifically credible.
Instead, what 'little evidence' there is for rising global temperatures points to a 'natural phenomenon' within a developing eco-system."

11 Facts About The Ongoing Fukushima Nuclear Holocaust That Are Almost Too Horrifying To Believe
"Is Fukushima the greatest environmental disaster of all time? Every single day, 300 tons of radioactive water from Fukushima enters the Pacific Ocean. The radioactive material that is being released will outlive all of us by a very wide margin, and it is constantly building up in the food chain. Nobody knows for sure how many people will eventually develop cancer and other health problems as a result of the Fukushima nuclear disaster, but some experts are not afraid to use the word “billions”. It has been well over two years since the original disaster, and now they are telling us that it could take up to 40 more years to clean it up. It is a nightmare of unimaginable proportions, and there is nowhere in the northern hemisphere that you will be able to hide from it."
Harper government forcing media to be a co-conspirator in Conservative propaganda - CANADA
"Iron-fisted control, suppression of dissenting views, deception in Parliament, disinformation in propaganda, and relentless personal attacks. These are some of the key characteristics of Harper Conservatism – a self-serving ideology that's focused almost exclusively on maintaining power.
As part of this political culture, the Harper government seeks to pass legislation in the scope of Conservative self-interest and power lust, rather than the greater good of all Canadians and that of the country."

‘NOT for Distribution U.S. Energy Docs’
But in a document labeled “Not for Distribution, Internal Use Only,” the US Energy Department even estimated that the Fukushima release was up to 10,000 times what nuclear regulators predicted. And where exactly did all that nuclear waste go? In the ocean. It doesn’t just wash away, either. If anything, the total fallout is still completely unknown, even as U.S. officials say its ‘all clear.’"

Canada Ratifies Controversial Chinese Investment Treaty
"Canada ratified a radical new trade agreement with China on September 12. According to critics, it puts both Canada’s resources and its ability to pass laws into the hands of a secret tribunal dominated by foreign judges.
On the surface, this agreement looks great. Both countries are supposed to benefit. But in reality, Canada just gave away part of its sovereignty for nothing in return."

Russia And India Begin Negotations To Use National Currencies In Settlements, Bypassing Dollar
"...there has been much talk about the strategic proximity between Russia and China, made even more proximal following the "holy grail" gas deal announced in May which would not have happened on such an accelerated time frame had it not been for US escalation in Ukraine.
And yet little has been said about that other just as crucial for the "new BRIC-centric world order" relationship, that between Russia and India... India agreed to create a task group to work out a mechanism for using national currencies in settlements. And so another major bilateral arrangement is set up that completely bypasses the dollar.

Canadian government faces constitutional challenge over FATCA deal
FATCA: Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act
"Two women are suing the Canadian government over a controversial deal in which Canada has agreed to share the tax information of U.S. persons resident in Canada with the IRS.
Under the Canada-U.S. agreement, which was reached in February and which took effect on July 1, the Canada Revenue Agency is to provide tax information to the U.S. Internal Revenue Service about the estimated one million Americans and dual U.S.-Canadian citizens who reside in Canada. Canadian financial institutions are required to search their records for accounts held by clients who meet the definition of “U.S. person” under the law, then supply this information to the CRA so it can pass it to the IRS."

France rebels against austerity as Europe's recovery collapses
"France’s finance minister sends tremors through European capitals with a defiant warning that his country would no longer try to meet deficit targets.

The trend for part-time work sweeping the world: Part-time work dominating jobs in the United States, Canada, and Japan.
"The employment statistics do a good job concealing the true nature of the workforce. The unemployment rate has dropped dramatically since the recession ended largely because millions of Americans are now no longer considered part of the workforce. This is an easy way to boost the employment rate without actually creating new jobs. Another trend that seems to be growing around the world is that of part-time work. Part-time work and low wage labor go hand and hand. Part-time workers usually are not afforded the same benefits as those working full-time. They are also brought on with a just in time attitude and are treated as such when no longer needed. Part-time work has been growing before the recession and continues to do so today. In Canada, part-time work has been the dominant sector of employment growth. Low wage labor and part-time work go together like peas in a pod."

"Suddenly the power to abuse the open internet has become so tempting both for government and big companies.""
