SURVIVAL INTERNATIONAL, December 1, 2011 -- Gunmen in Brazil are brazenly intimidating indigenous communities with a hit list of prominent leaders, following the high profile murder of Nísio Gomes last month.

Reportedly employed by powerful landowners in Mato Grosso do Sul state, the gunmen are creating a climate of fear to prevent Guarani Indians from returning to their ancestral land.

The Commonwealth Department of Public Prosecutions will no longer oppose bail for the Indonesian children

Submitted by Gerry Georgatos on Fri, 02/12/2011 - 9:00am

The Commonwealth Department of Public Prosecutors will no longer oppose Bail when Indonesian children dispute their age. The CDPP will not exclusively rely on the wrist bone scan to assess age. This is a positive step, and time in Immigration Detention will count as custodial (though I believe that in terms of the predicament of bail they should be in the care of the Indonesian Consulate(s).

Building on the work of Australian carbon farming pioneer P.A. Yeomans, and his son Allan's book "Priority One" - there is a race among farmers to capture carbon from the air and sequester it in richer soil.

In 2007, billionaire Richard Branson announced the Virgin Earth Challenge. He offered a 25 million dollar prize to the best method to remove greenhouse gases from the atmosphere, with no harmful impacts.

Out of 2600 submissions, Allan Savory and the Savory Institute survived to the current short-list of 11 technolgies to do it.

Submitted by Gerry Georgatos on Mon, 28/11/2011 - 10:50am

Wikileaks and Julian Assange have won the WALKLEY for their commitment to the truth via citizen media, and in terms of inspiration. The Walkley is a mainstream media award of a media often accused as 'consdervative' however it is indicative of the swell of humanity that is within the mainstream media busting to break free from many of the restrictions that hold back the unfettered truth and more 'inclusive democracry'.

We are not outraged…

The explosion of rage we see all over the world doesn’t start from joyfully indignant citizens, respectful of the constitutional State, who can afford the luxury of non-violence… but from us, exploited proletarians, in struggle against the every time worse conditions of survival imposed on us.

We are not outraged, shocked, indignant…

Christmas at home for Bali boy however Christmas for many Indonesian children will be in Australian adult prisons - More to come tomorrow.

Submitted by Gerry Georgatos on Fri, 25/11/2011 - 3:49pm

Gerry Georgatos The young boy convicted of marijuana possession will be home in Australia come Christmas. How many of Indonesia's most impoverished children, aged 13, 14, 15, 16 and 17 years of age will be in an Australian adult prison on Christmas Day? More than fifty - even though the Prime Minister says 'only' 17, the Attorney-General says 27, the Australian Federal Police say 32.
