Community Planning for Peak Oil: This Doesnt Look So Dark (video) : TreeHugger

Sun, 08 Nov 2009 05:23:10 -0800

From the page: "The Transition Whidbey Initiative is clearly promoting a broad and far reaching set of solutions to peak oil�"from community mapping of local food initiatives to reskilling initiatives to local currency to promoting renewable energy. When these folks talk about being "inspired by peak oil", I don't see the "casual eagerness for the death of others" that Steffen referenced, but rather a recognition that life is going to change anyway, so we had better plan how we want that change to happen. And crucially, the group is interacting with the political systems it inhabits�"which is a vital part of moving beyond personal action to real cultural change."

Why does US need military bases around the world?

Tenho amor a isto, talvez porque n�o tenha mais nada que amar - ou talvez, tamb�m, porque nada valha o amor de uma alma, e, se temos por sentimento que o dar, tanto vale d�-lo ao pequeno aspecto do meu tinteiro como � grande indiferen�a das estrelas.

Are nuclear weapons safe in Pakistan? : The New Yorker

The terrorists had been dressed in Army uniforms. There were also attacks on police installations in Peshawar and Lahore, and, once the offensive began, an Army general was shot dead by gunmen on motorcycles on the streets of Islamabad, the capital. The assassins clearly had advance knowledge of the general�s route, indicating that they had contacts and allies inside the security forces.

Pakistan has been a nuclear power for two decades, and has an estimated eighty to a hundred warheads, scattered in facilities around the country. The success of the latest attacks raised an obvious question: Are the bombs safe?

Diego Garcia: A thorn in the side of Africas nuclear-weapon-free zone | Africa |Axisoflogic.com

Fri, 06 Nov 2009 08:19:49 -0800

From the page: "Underneath this international support for an African nuclear-weapon-free zone, however, is a low-profile but high-stakes dispute over the status of the Chagos Archipelago, which includes Diego Garcia. This coral atoll in the British Indian Ocean Territory happens to be the site of one of the most valuable (and secretive) U.S. military bases overseas."
