The ambition of elites to "manage the infodemic" amounts to the establishment of a scientific priesthood that wants full control of what we are told to ensure we only come to approved conclusions, says Dr David McGrogan.

The UK Equality and Human Rights Commission launched county court proceedings against the BNP party leader, Nick Griffin, and two other party officials, Simon Darby and Tanya Jane Lumby soon after the European elections. The EHRC case was quite clear : the BNP party constitution restricts membership of the organisation on grounds of ethnicity & race & the EHRC was created to uphold the UK Race Relations Act. So, in a move which oughtn't surprise anyone who has seen now the BNP are playing the field with their new drive for a slice of the political pie, Nick Griffin has today announced that he will table a new constitution to the BNP conference next month. read full story / add a comment

LUSH’S FABULOUS MRS FOX CHALLENGES FOX HUNTING
Lush Cosmetics Launches Campaign Against Fox Hunting; in Support of the Association of Hunt Saboteurs

Ireland—This week Lush Cosmetics is launching an in-store campaign to highlight that hunting with hounds continues throughout Ireland. Although hunting foxes with hounds has been banned in Scotland since 2002 and England and Wales since 2005, this blood sport remains legal in Ireland. During the week of October 12th the windows of Lush’s four Irish shops will be emblazoned with the words ‘THE HUNTS ARE STILL AT IT’. Customers will be encouraged to sign petitions asking for hunting with hounds to be made a criminal act. Lush’s Irish shops are located in Dublin, Belfast and Cork.

Recent research published in this week's New Scientist and The Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, show that 'commons' communities would do a better job of managing forests than state control. Government control generally leads to enclosure (privatisation) and licensing rights for logging, or an expectation that the forest will not last leading to unsustainable exploitation.

Carbon storage potential is especially improved when community organisations and their institutions "incorporate local knowledge and decentralized decision making" to "restrict their consumption of forest products". read full story / add a comment
