Iceland may be the first Western democracy to be forced into South-American style debt-slavery. The IMF, in concert with the UK and the Netherlands, has attempted to strongarm the recently impoverished Island of 317,000 into paying over 3.6 billion pounds ($6.3bn) — $86,000 per Icelandic family — at 5.5% interest for the next generation. The money is not conventional government debt, but arises from the collapse of a private multi-national bank during the financial crisis.
The issue is so serious that the entire nation will vote on it March 6th 2010.
On December 30, 2009, after extraordinary diplomatic threats, Iceland’s parliament passed narrowly a bill agreeing to pay the onerous terms. Only a few months earlier parliament had agreed to the full amount, but under more reasonable conditions.
The people of Iceland must be internationally supported, so they can feel safe in voting down debt-slavery. If Iceland falls, it won’t be long before other countries suffer similar financial extortion.

— One Voice One People One Earth —
We are in a unique time on the planet; humanity is now facing a crossroad. The choices we make today will affect our children for generations to come.
By coming together in our hearts, we can and will create the change we want to see in the world. Every day more people are awakening to understand that we must act responsibly and act now to create this change.
How do we begin to make this change with our world facing crisis on so many fronts: financial woes, famine, homelessness, perpetual wars, food shortages, exploitation and disease (to name only a few)? We do have a choice.
We are in the time of choice and human beings around the world are feeling a call to unite and make our voices heard and our actions count. People from the indigenous world to the political are beginning to step forward and speak of this change through action and choice.
What is The Great Gathering? It is the same message of many beliefs from around the world. The message is simple: now is the time for humanity to unite to create the one voice for the people of Earth.

A United Nations report on climate change that has been lambasted for its faulty research is under new attack for yet another instance of what critics say is sloppy science — guiding global warming policy based on a study of forest fires.
A United Nations report on climate change that has been lambasted for its faulty research is under new attack for yet another instance of what its critics say is sloppy science — adding to a growing scandal that has undermined the credibility of scientists and policymakers who back the U.N.’s findings about global warming.

Victorville Daily Press / Steve Williams (2010-01-26)
Sunday we reprinted a Wall Street Journal editorial about Michael Mann, the Penn State University climate scientist responsible not only for the infamous and now widely discredited hockey stick graph (which purported to show that Northern Hemisphere temperatures turned sharply upward starting in the early 20th Century after remaining relatively flat for the previous 900 years) but also heavily involved in the hacked e-mail controversy emanating from East Anglia University which the Journal noted, “showed climatologists massaging data, squelching opposing views, and hiding their work from the public.”
The Journal pointed out in its editorial that Mann is the recent recipient of $2.4 million in grants from the National Science Foundation for , among other things, working toward “Improved Projections of the Climate Response to Anthropogenic Forcing,” and investigating the role of “environmental temperature on the transmission of vector-borne diseases.”
So it appears Mann, who as a scientist is supposed to be disinterested in the outcome of his research, is benefiting greatly from publishing information about global warming which has been proved to be not credible.

U. S. News / Janet Raloff (2010-01-25)
A London newspaper reported yesterday that the unsubstantiated Himalayan-glacier melt figures contained in a supposedly authoritative 2007 report on climate warming were used intentionally, despite the report’s lead author knowing there were no data to back them up.
Until now, the organization that published the report – the Nobel Prize-winning Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change – had argued the exaggerated figures in that report were an accident: due to insufficient fact checking of the source material.
Uh, no. It now appears the incident wasn’t quite that innocent.
