| A COURT FOR ENVIRONMENTAL CRIMES VENICE, October 4, 2009 – Inside the Doge’s Palace in a city that is in the frontline of global warming a group of crime busters, lawyers and experts tried to kick-start this weekend the idea of an International Environmental Criminal Court that would bring to justice those culprits deliberately polluting our planet. |
 |
| The idea is no novelty but the meeting of the ‘World Venice Forum 2009’ was given impetus by the recent revelation that organized crime syndicates have been ‘dumping’ toxic waste, some of it radioactive, into the oceans, close to coastlines frequented by tourists.Read... |

| An average three to four of these floating hotels, each carrying about 3,000 passengers plus 1,000-crew, navigate through the Venetian lagoon and the city center every day. They pass along Saint Mark’s Square where the ocean-graph on the central Campanile (tower) oscillates madly as it registers a small underground tsunami with each passage.Read |

| HEADLINES AND A TIGER CAGED MELBOURNE, December 8, 2009 - One of the corporate media’s most profitable techniques is to create a headline-catching celebrity and then work relentlessly to dismantle their own iconic creation. The message from this winning formula is always the same: See how the rich and famous can fall from grace?Read... |
| JAIPUR LITERATURE FESTIVAL: GOODBYE MR SHAKESPEARE 2010.
January 26, 2010. JAIPUR, India - In literature, as in cinema, the audience is mesmerized by celebrities rather then quality or art. Readers buy books promoted by critics who are in the majority friends of the writer or publisher. In India, where books are amazingly cheap, the 'literate' prefer to buy two cups of coffee rather then a new book......Read |

| PUSHKAR: PILGRIMS OF ALL KINDS PUSHKAR, December 31, 2010 – The majority are Hindu pilgrims come to pray at the holiest of temples to Brahma. Mixed among them a sprinkle of westerners, wrapped in saris and dhotis more Indian then the Indians, relics from the days of ashrams and gurus. Yet those who make this Hindu-Mecca tick commercially these days are young Israelis who dodge the draft at home or completed three years (two for women) of military service and want a quiet spot to chill out from the cruelty of war with the Palestinians.Read |

| OBAMA: A HOLLOW PRESIDENT
February 12, 2010 - Remember the catch phrases: “A Nation healed …..a world repaired ….an America that believes again…..” That was Barack Obama, stentorian voice, masterful delivery, the right message to create lumps in our throats and make not just America but the world barrack for Barack and his pledge of “a change we can believe in.” A year later President Obama has turned out to be just another super-salesman, not unlike one of those smooth-tongued wiz kids who sell hedge funds as financial windfalls or speculate with your pension fund on pyramid schemes.
