NIGERIA: Daily disasters dwarf Gulf oil spill.
| NIGERIA: Nigeria’s agony dwarfs the Gulf oil spill. The US and Europe ignore it
by John Vidal, The Guardian (UK) |

The Deepwater Horizon disaster caused headlines around the world, yet the people who live in the Niger delta have had to live with environmental catastrophes for decades.
We reached the edge of the oil spill near the Nigerian village of Otuegwe after a long hike through cassava plantations. Ahead of us lay swamp. We waded into the warm tropical water and began swimming, cameras and notebooks held above our heads. We could smell the oil long before we saw it – the stench of garage forecourts and rotting vegetation hanging thickly in the air. The farther we travelled, the more nauseous it became. Soon we were swimming in pools of light Nigerian crude, the best-quality oil in the world. One of the many hundreds of 40-year-old pipelines that crisscross the Niger delta had corroded and spewed oil for several months. Forest and farmland were now covered in a sheen of greasy oil. Drinking wells were polluted and people were distraught. No one knew how much oil had leaked. “We lost our nets, huts and fishing pots,” said Chief Promise, village leader of Otuegwe and our guide. “This is where we fished and farmed. We have lost our forest. We told Shell of the spill within days, but they did nothing for six months.” That was the Niger delta a few years ago, where, according to Nigerian academics, writers and environment groups, oil companies have acted with such impunity and recklessness that much of the region h In fact, more oil is spilled from the delta’s network of terminals, pipes, pumping stations and oil platforms every year than has been lost in the Gulf of Mexico, the site of a major ecological catastrophe caused by oil that has poured from a leak triggered by the explosion that wrecked BP‘s Deepwater Horizon rig last month.

Las petroleras matan 16.000 el año y reprimen el Green Gas NH3
España evitaría 16.000 de muertes el año por causas respiratorias y cardiovasculares adoptando el carburante Gas Verde (NH3), que además sale más barato y no emite CO2 al quemarse.
A sabiendas.. saben perfectamente que hay una alternativa limpia, la indústria petrolera sigue arrasando, y incluso reciben subsidios . Por supuesto pagan ZERO por los miles de afectados por la contaminacíon, ni la destrucción definitiva del delicado equilibrio climatico, sobre lo cual
nuestra existencia misma depende.
Nada de esto es accidente. La technologia NH3 ha existido durante 100 años y sale mas barato. Buses en Belgium funcionaron perfectament con Gas Verde en los años 40! Tractores, Coches, Locomotores y hasta aviones de la NASA han funcionado con el carburante.
Ya es hora de denunciar por nombre y buscar las pruebas de la supresión del Gas Verde y la culpabilidad de las Corporaciones petroleras y automobilisticas en la muerte lenta y dolorosa de hasta un milion de personas el año en el mundo Un auténtico masacre por parte de estos criminales climáticos..
Benefits of Green NH3 (ammonia) over other fuels
- costs less and zero emissions
- helps reverse global warming
- no need to transport fuel (used where it is made)
- less truck pollution, traffic congestion and fuel tanker accidents.
- less need for oil wars ( oil is now not worth the fight )
- less chance of “oil” terrorism ( harder to attack a million wide spread green fuel machines than one or two oil refineries.) ETC

Funciona como gasolina pero más barato y emite ZERO CO2. Hecho de solo aire, agua y electricidad
Hace 100 años que se sabe producirlo, con el método de hacer fertilizante.
Hoy se hace con Gas Natural, pero se puede producir muy bien con electricidad de fuentes renovables y aún más barato con una nueva sistema (SSAS).
El ‘Gas Verde ha sido usado durante 100 años ya. Está ignorado hoy solo para proteger el petroleo y las corporaciones capitalistas que controlan el mercado.
De hecho se puede
producir el Gas Verde NH3 muy bien de forma decentralizado, o con el molino de viento del barrio
Se cambia en liquido a poco presión, no explota y es poco peligroso. Huele fatal, eso si, pero se mantiene tapado. Es ideal para guardar energía de sistemas solares para usar cuando no hay.
No hay dinero para comercializar el GAS VERDE, mientras se da todavía subsidios bilionarios a la industria petrolera
Que crimen que tenemos que destruir el planeta cuando siempre ha existido la opción de carburante sin CO2!
There are three ways to use ammonia as a fuel.
- Ammonia can be burned in a spark ignited piston engine, behaving quite a bit like an ordinary gasoline engine, except it will perform at compressions of as high as 25 to 1, which is even better than diesel’s 17 to 1 limit.
- Ammonia will burn in a turbine, which would be used for long term electricity generation, say in a “peaker” style generation facility intended to replace a natural gas generator. This would be a machine in the multimegawatt range.
- The third method of producing electricity from ammonia is to use it in a fuel cell. This has always been possible but development has
favored hydrogen fuel cells rather than direct ammonia fuel cells thus far.
Converting to NH3
Converting a Vehicle to run on Ammonia (NH3)
How does an ammonia dual fueled vehicle work?
The simplest implementation of the dual fueled ammonia vehicle conversion is physically similar to a compressed natural gas vehicle conversion. A new on-board tank holds liquid ammonia at only about 150 PSI. Regulators, valves and an electronic control system meter the flow of ammonia to the engine as needed after the engine is started and warmed up on gasoline, ethanol etc. A small amount of gasoline is used to idle the engine, then as the load is increased the additional energy is provided by adding ammonia. This is all handled automatically by the engine control electronic module.
Can I buy a conversion kit for my private car today?
No. Not at this time. Conversion work is currently concentrated with fleet vehicles and other large market applications. Although, with increasing gasoline prices, conversions for private vehicles are coming.

España: ‘Siguen torturando con impunidad’.Amnesty.
El Tribunal Europeo de Derechos Humanos ha condenado en varias ocasiones al Estado español por no investigar de manera adecuada las denuncias de tortura. “En 2010 continuaron estas denuncias”, inciden. De hecho, en lo que va de 2011 una docena de personas han denunciado haber sufrido torturas durante el periodo de incomunicación; los últimos, los hermanos Aitor e Igor Esnaola, de Legorreta, y el vecino de Villabona Lander Etxeberria.
Amnistía Internacional recuerda que Naciones Unidas recomendó al Estado español “la abolición del régimen de incomunicación a personas sospechosas de actividades `terroristas'”, y que el Gobierno volvió a rechazar estas sugerencias. Es más, la organización matiza que “España es el único país de la Unión Europea que conserva un régimen de detención con restricciones tan severas de los derechos de las personas detenidas”. Éstas pueden verse privadas de acceso efectivo a un abogado o a un médico de su
elección, y no tienen la posibilidad de informar de su arresto a su familia ni a sus amistades. Asimismo, destaca que el periodo de incomunicación puede imponerse antes o después de que la persona detenida comparezca ante una autoridad judicial y que puede alargarse, incluso, hasta trece días.
AI también considera necesario que se lleven a cabo “investigaciones independientes” sobre las denuncias y que se garantice una reparación plena a las personas que hayan resultado perjudicadas. “Las víctimas, sus familias y la sociedad en su conjunto tienen derecho a conocer la verdad sobre, incluida la identidad de los autores”, enfatiza.

Trobada d’assemblees de barri de Barcelona Posted on juny 23, 2011 by acampadabcn| 5 comentaris Pel proper diumenge 26 de Juny a les 17.00H, està convocada a Plaça Catalunya, una trobada de les 23 Assemblees de Barri de la nostra ciutat. Després de la mobilització del 19 de Juny, hem de fer un pas més endavant. Entre totes hem conquerit les places i és entre totes que hem de marcar el camí a seguir. L’objectiu de la Trobada Plenària és poder debatre i reflexionar juntes, per enriquir i enllaçar els debats que estan emergent als diferents barris i també, establir com ens interrelacionarem en el futur i com gestionarem la feina feta fins ara -des de les diferents Assemblees i AcampadaBCN- i la que hem de seguir fent. Fins ara, l’acampada de plaça Catalunya ha estat un espai de confluència, es per aixó que arrel de la proposta de (re)pensar l’espai Plaça Catalunya com a Àgora, ens han sorgit diferents dubtes sobre com fer-ho, que volem compartir amb totes les Assemblees de Barris per tal d’anar-los discutint plegades. A les 15h, hi haurà una trobada oberta prèvia per definir l’Ordre del Dia i repartir les tasques de moderació. Aquí es pot descarregar una proposta d’ordre del dia. → 5 Comentaris Posted in Actes assemblea, Info general
EU knew since 80s Roundup causes birth defects
Industry and EU regulators knew as long ago as the 1980s-1990s that Roundup, the world’s best selling herbicide, causes birth defect– but they failed to inform the public. This is the conclusion of a new report, “Roundup and birth defects: Is the public being kept in the dark?” co-authored by a group of international scientists and researchers and released yesterday.[1]
The report reveals that industry’s own studies (including one commissioned by Monsanto) showed as long ago as the 1980s that Roundup’s active ingredient glyphosate causes birth defects in laboratory animals.
The German government has known about these findings since at least the 1990s, when as the “rapporteur” member state for glyphosate, it reviewed industry’s studies for the EU approval of the herbicide. The European Commission has known since at least 2002, when it signed off on glyphosate’s approval.
But this information was not made public. On the contrary, regulators have consistently misled the public about glyphosate’s safety. As recently as last year, the German Federal Office for Consumer Protection and Food Safety, BVL, told the Commission there was “no evidence of teratogenicity” (ability to cause birth defects) for glyphosate.
