A simple program
that can generate a list of the first few million prime numbers
in just a few minutes. Note: This is for
RISC OS
computers. If you use inferior operating systems such as Windows,
this will be of no use to you.
Six
steps to hell - the bleak future of our planet if urgent measures are
not taken to control human-driven greenhouse gas emissions.
Danger! Time is rapidly running out to stop irreversible climate
change. A scientific analysis by
experts on global warming, published in August 2008, shows that we had just
100 months to avoid a catastrophic tipping point - an estimate consistent with
previous independent analyses in recent years.
Bad Science - Dr. Ben Goldacre
exposes pseudoscientific nonsense, bogus "alternative medicine",
misuse of statistics, etc.
The US has in fact operated torture chambers
for
decades, so the recent atrocities are not really so surprising.
The only difference is that they are no longer so secret. These crimes are not
lessened by the US attempts to
hide
them by declaring the torture methods used in secret CIA prisons to be state
secrets.
The UK is equally guilty of human rights violations. Read about the
kidnapping
of Martin Mubanga, so that he could be handed over to the American torturers.
Harold
Pinter, winner of the 2005 Nobel Prize for Literature, gives the most accurate
assessment of the US invasion of Iraq as "a bandit act, an act of blatant state
terrorism, demonstrating absolute contempt for the concept of international law ...
inspired by a series of lies upon lies..."
An authoritative study reported in the prestigious medical journal
The Lancet estimates that over 600,000 extra deaths
have occurred as a result of Bush's illegal war and occupation in Iraq.
The illegal invasion and occupation of Iraq has made the world a
more
dangerous place, and innocent people everywhere, not just in Iraq, are now
paying the price.
The Iraqi
Resistance is the real war of liberation against the US occupiers and
their quislings. Congratulations to the heroic Resistance fighters for their
many successes!
Among the world's most flagrant violations of human rights is Israel's
brutal repression of the Palestinian people. For useful information, see
Sue Blackwell's Links on Palestine and
Israel..
Even though the United States now has a more progressive president, the
crimes of the discredited Bush regime must not be swept under the carpet.
It is time that the world's most notorious
war
criminal and terrorist was brought to justice:
Cutting through the propaganda
Some excellent sources of news that you may not see in most of the Western
mainstream press:
whatREALLYhappened.com reveals
many stories that you may have missed. Updated frequently.
Infowars.net is a another source of
little-reported news.
WantToKnow.info reports on
major cover-ups, with verifiable information from reliable sources.
Conspiracy
theories? - An analysis of why disturbing revelations are widely branded
"conspiracy theories", e.g. why many people ignore or refuse to believe the
evidence of US government complicity in 9/11.
The distinguished commentator George Monbiot shows how the Western media
attempt to
hide
the US and British war crimes in Iraq. Sami Ramadani, a political exile from
Saddam's regime, also writes about the
blizzard
of occupiers' spin.
Note. Some links have recently been dropped from this section
because, although they contained some good material, they were full of
pseudo-scientific nonsense, such as misinformation from climate-change deniers.

The Guardian newspaper reported
that it was banned from publishing documents showing how Barclays Bank set
up massive tax avoidance schemes by exploiting loopholes in the law, thus
depriving the UK of hundreds of millions of pounds of tax revenue. The
newspaper was even banned from saying where these documents were publicly
available for the rest of the world. This website opposes all forms of
censorship, especially when the material is of great public interest.
Readers are therefore informed that the relevant documents are available here or here.
