This is a very interesting 15 minute interview with Bill McKibben - creator of the 350.org movement and well known Canadian activist and author Naomi Klein shortly after Obama's press conference at Copenhagen where he announced the "accord" between the U.S., China, Brazil and India.
A number of interesting points are made:

Picture: Brian Raven wearing a red
top at a Justice Action demonstration against
Guantanamo Bay shortly before
his untimely death.
Brian Raven was a good friend and fellow investigator. Some years ago his body was found in his home in mysterious circumstances; he had been dead some weeks. I have not heard whether there has been a coronial inquiry. At the time of his death Brian was working on exposing corruption in a number of high profile cases. He set up a website regarding the evidence against Ivan Milat. This is Brian's take on the evidence against Ivan Milat.
Media Release - January 6, 2010
Humane Society International (HSI) has warned it is prepared to take legal action against Australian companies that are reported to have been assisting Japanese whalers in the Southern Ocean, by providing their services to operate spy flights.
In January 2008, HSI secured an injunction against Japanese whale hunts in Australia's Antarctic territorial waters.
WHAT IS THE CURRENT STATUS ON THE FOLLOWING LEGAL CASES ALREADY COMPLETE.
Are we to be told by the Australian Govt that the Australian Federal court orders about whaling are to be ignored? If this is not reaon enough for Australia to enforce the court orders by the Royal Australian Navy since the duty of patrolling the Australian coastline falls to them.Maybe it's time to create an equivalent to the USA Coast Guard.

FEDERAL COURT OF AUSTRALIA
Ivan Milat continues to state that he is innocent and has been framed in the matter of the Backpacker Murders. He says that he cut off his finger due to refusal of access to necessary law books and a computer to type up his application for a review, not to get attention or to make an escape attempt.
Ivan Milat says: "The High Court informed me they received my application on 18th December 2009 and accepted it. It has been filed and I am applicant No. 356 of 2009. I've sent off the necessary documents to the Respondent in my matter - the Supreme Court."
Sea Shepherd lodged on Friday writs to sue the crew of Japanese whaling ship Shonan Maru 2 for piracy in the Dutch court system for threatening the lives of the six crew members of the Ady Gil and destroying their vessel. Conservation pirates suing pirates of profit and environmental slaughter and destruction.

Global Warming?
Why did Copenhagen Fail?
Why has global warming science failed?
Why are the alarmists wrong?
Why does the government still want to introduce
a global warming tax which could bankrupt the nation?

Goodooga, northwest NSW, 8 January 2010 -- An Aboriginal activist, who was once engaged by the Australian government as a consultant on special race relations matters, says Australians are so racist that they cannot recognise it anymore because racism is so pronounced and active here.
“Australians no longer have to be covert about racism, they show it publicly,” Michael Anderson, leader of the 3,000 Euahlayi of northwest NSW, writes in response to the recent murder of an Indian student in Melbourne.
The concentration of methane in the atmosphere is rising, according to measurements made by the New Zealand National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research (Niwa) at its Baring Head Station near Wellington.
Methane (CH4) is a greenhouse gas whose affect on climate is 21 times stronger than Carbon Dioxide (CO2) and is the second most important contributor to global warming behind carbon dioxide. It is produced naturally mainly by biological breakdown of organic substances in oxygen-deficient conditions, such as the digestive system of ruminant animals and the decay of plant material in swamps or landfills. It is also prevalent in fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and natural gas (which is mainly methane).
The Sea shepherds need to enlighten the public on the economic issues to explain the Luke warm response by the Australian Govt. re the recent ramming of the Ady Gil.
Put the Australian Government on the spot and show how impotent they are.

The Sea Shepherd high speed powerboat, Ady Gil, has now sunk according to Paul Watson interviewed on ABC morning radio. The stationary ship was purposefully rammed by a Japanese whaling security vessel endangering the 6 Sea Shepherd volunteers on board.
There's been controversy around hiring practices at Humanist House. We've recently had a Special General Meeting to give control of day to day operations of the Society to the Executive. It was a very difficult meeting, and I thank everyone who turned up and supported the resolutions, and I particularly thank those members who helped with meeting process.
STUDENTS FEEDING THE HOMELESS
The youth of today are concerned about their fellow man.
Yesterday was a hectic day in Commonwealth Bay, near Antarctica, in the Southern Ocean Whale Sanctuary. The Ady Gil, while stationary, was puposefully rammed at speed by the Japanese whaling security vessel, the Shonan Maru 2. And the Japanese whaling fleet, and the world discovered Sea Shepherds surprise new conservation ship, the Bob Baker, an ex-Norwegian Antarctic ice-class whaling vessel that was bought in 2009 and secretly refitted in South Africa.

Goodooga, northwest NSW, 3 January 2010 - - A NSW activist likens the struggle for Aboriginal rights to the uprisings to win freedom in China and Iran.
“The repressive and discriminatory laws that we are subject to here in Australia would not be tolerated anywhere else in the free world,” Michael Anderson writes in a media release (full text below).
