The Sun SINKS on dictator Murdoch

Can this be the end of Murdoch's reign of terror at the SUN ??Five senior Sun newspaper employees were arrested this morning over the scandal of payments to police for information. As part of the ongoing police investigation Operation Elveden, which began after the News of the World phone-hacking scandal saw the Murdoch Sunday paper close, a number of high profile journalists were arrested in a series of early morning raids, along with senior police officers and Ministry of Defence employees and a member of the armed forces.

All five were arrested on suspicion of corruption under the Prevention of Corruption Act 1906 – aiding and abetting misconduct in a public office and conspiracy accroding to a police statement, which adding ‘It relates to suspected payments to police officers and public officials’.

The arrests come two weeks after four former and current Sun journalists and a serving Metropolitan police officer were arrested over alleged illegal police payments.

Sean Hoare's death let Murdoch and Cameron off the hook in the NOTW hacking scandal

It’s understood the paper itself is in jeopardy and Murdoch attempted to distance himself further from his UK employees and operation with a statement: “News Corporation remains committed to ensuring that unacceptable news gathering practices by individuals in the past will not be repeated and last summer authorised the MSC to co-operate with the relevant authorities”.

The NUJ on the other hand are less than impressed with Murdoch’s stance stating: “Journalists are reeling at seeing five more of their colleagues thrown to the wolves in what many sense to be a witch-hunt. They are furious at what they see as a monumental betrayal on the part of News International.”

It is also understood the scandal so far has cost the company $200 million in legal fees and compensation pay outs to people who had their phone illegally hacked by Murdoch’s papers.

Mavis’s miracle Maringa farm


CAPE TOWN, Jan 25, 2012 (IPS) – When a food crisis hits the continent, African countries tend to look to the international donor community to mobilise aid. But a fast-growing, drought- resistant tree with extremely nutritious leaves could help poor, arid nations to fight food insecurity and malnutrition on their own.

A 15-hectare plantation of the “miracle tree” with the botanical name Moringa oleifera has already started to make a positive change in the rural village of Tooseng, which is located in one of South Africa’s poorest provinces, Limpopo.

Moringa leaves are dubbed a “super food” because scientists found that they contain the calcium equivalent of four glasses of milk, the vitamin C content of seven oranges, the potassium of three bananas, three times the amount of iron found in spinach, four times the amount of vitamin A found in a carrot and twice the amount of protein in milk. It is like a supermarket on a tree……

Mavis Mathabatha, a former school teacher from Tooseng, has been working hard to set up a Moringa farm over the past three years that will produce enough leaves to make a positive difference in her community and further afield. “I want to make an impact in my area, province and across the country through this project,” she explains….

Today, Mathabatha’s farm produces and packages up to 10,000 tonnes a year of Moringa leaf powder, which is distributed not only within South Africa, but also exported to Botswana, Swaziland and Lesotho. “I am hoping to further extend my market in the next few years. There is a lot of interest in my product,” Mathabatha says….

Murdering bastards kill with drone robots!!

U.S.  Using Drones to Target Rescue Workers and Funerals in Pakistan

The CIA’s drone campaign targeting suspected militants in Pakistan has killed dozens of civilians who had gone to rescue victims or were attending funerals.

So concludes a new report by the London-based Bureau of Investigative

Syed Wali Shah Age7 Killed In CIA Pakistan Drone Attack

Journalism. It found that since President Obama took office three years ago, as many as 535 civilians have been killed, including more than 60 children. The investigation also revealed that at least 50 civilians were killed in follow-up strikes when they had gone to help victims. More than 20 civilians have also been attacked in deliberate strikes on funerals and mourners.

We speak to Chris Woods, award-winning reporter with the Bureau of Investigative Journalism. “We noted that there were repeated reports at the time, contemporaneous reports in publications like New York Times, news agencies like Reuters, by CNN, that there were these strikes on rescuers, that there were reports that there had been an initial strike and then, some minutes later, as people had come forward to help and pull out the dead and injured, that drones had returned to the scene and had attacked rescuers,”

Woods says. “We’ve been able to name just over 50 civilians that we understand have been killed in those attacks. In total, we think that more than 75 civilians have been killed, specifically in these attacks on rescuers and on mourners, on funeral-goers.”
