    No, although I think it's available in a few places on the net.

    The Violent Twilight of Oil by Peter Mass has just been published.

    From a review in The Irish Times

    In Nigeria it is estimated that 80 per cent of the hundreds of billions of dollars of oil revenue have accrued to just 1 per cent of the population, while the vast majority of people have gotten poorer, leading to a rebellion in the oil rich Niger Delta. Meanwhile, the former head of ExxonMobil, the world’s largest private oil company, earned $145,000 a day during his tenure as oil production brought environmental destruction to local communities from spills and the flaring of gas from oil fields. Acid rain is so bad in parts of Nigeria that it eats through corrugated iron roofs every few years...

    In Ecuador, Texaco gave Native Americans bread and cheese in exchange for permission to prospect for oil. Maass notes that just as oil has to have dirt, sands and poisons taken out of it, there is a parallel process of political refining so that publics in the West don’t learn about what is done to assure continued access. The invasion of Iraq in 2003 mirrored the western-inspired toppling of Mosaddeq in Iran 50 years earlier, condemning that country to years of dictatorship under the shah and the horrors of the current regime.

    Once again the crosshairs are being trained on Iran:

    The leaders of the US and Russia have warned Iran that time is running out for talks over its nuclear programme.

    President Barack Obama said Iran had failed "so far at least" to respond positively to a deal to send enriched uranium abroad for reprocessing...

    This in the first I've heard of the Ukranian 'superbug' in any of the papers, if you could call the Daily Mail a paper.....no mention of our scientist friend who predicted the outbreak though.

    I heard something about this last week from a leading epidemiologist in Cork. A Mossad agent said sometime back that some superbug would hit Ukraine soon. Apparently there's all hell breaking out there with people breaking into pharmacies looking for a vaccine.

    I'd have thought Mossad would be predicting an outbreak of some kind in, say, Syria.

    This flu sounds terrifying:

    Some doctors have likened the symptoms to those seen in many of the victims of the Spanish flu which caused millions of deaths world-wide after the World War One.

    An unnamed doctor in western Ukraine told of the alarming effects of the virus.

    He said: 'We have carried out post mortems on two victims and found their lungs are as black as charcoal.

    That's what I was told Almanac. Ukraine is a fairly volatile place I suppose.

    I believe you of course. I was just using the opportunity to highlight some of the deadly programmes Mossad is involved with.
