Peak Oil: Haiti, Cuba and “weapons of mass destruction”?

Land and People recently commented on the US Government’s haste in getting troops on the ground in Haiti for “humanitarian” reasons – a haste that was not evident when Hurricane Katrina struck New Orleans a few years back. We also pointed to evidence that suggests Haiti is “sitting on” substantial oil reserves. Today we remind [...]

Pipelineistan: Labour proposes payment of “benefits” to former Taliban “soldiers”!

Can Labour stoop any lower? We all know that the Parliamentary Labour Party is largely constituted of thieves and liars, with not a few implicated in alleged war crimes! The answer, it would appear, is yes they can!
Earlier today we reported how an Afghan minister, representing the US-puppet Afghan regime, suggested the inclusion of Taliban [...]

Pipelineistan: Carrot now in play!

Regular visitors to this site will remember that we asked in an article posted on the 18th January:
So what will Obama’s strategy be? We anticipate he (or rather his masters in the US’s industrial-military complex) will adopt a “carrot and stick” approach. Big fat bribes to Taliban leaders will constitute the “carrot”, whilst increased [...]

Trans Afghanistan Pipeline: Some additional background information

We invite visitors to view today’s video offering on this important subject. Although the video is a little dated, it makes some interesting connections in respect of who allegedly stands to benefit from the proposed Trans-Afghanistan Pipeline (TAP or TAPI) project. Furthermore, some people may be offended by its, in part, jocular approach, in light [...]

Peak Oil: So what, exactly, is behind the US military build-up in Haiti?

One of the most interesting developments on the global stage in recent weeks is the US Government’s announcement that it is sending some 10,000 troops to Haiti to assist in relief work. A remarkable development in fact, particularly when you recall just how long it took the federal government to mobilise troops to assist its [...]

Pipelineistan: First the Guardian, now the Financial Times breaks ranks

Writing on somewhat obscure but none-the-less important subjects, can be a lonely experience at times – particularly when the subject matter appears to be embargoed by the controlled mass media. An example of this is our campaign to raise public awareness of the proposed Trans Afghanistan Pipeline (TAP, sometimes TAPI) project and its implication in [...]

Pipelineistan: Latest intelligence on the Trans Afghanistan Pipeline project

The following piece recently appeared on the informative Political Lore website (www.politicallore.com). Although much of its content will be already known to regular visitors to this site, it does shed a little much needed light on those entities set to benefit from the proposed Trans Afghanistan Pipeline (TAP aka TAPI). We have placed emphasis and [...]

Land-based wind farms a waste of space – and money!

Land & People has been saying for some time now that land-based wind farms are both waste of space as well as being a blot on the landscape. We have also pointed out that wind turbines suffer from a rather inconvenient problem – that being that the wind doesn’t always blow, at least not with [...]

Troops Out campaign: Griffin exposes “Pipelineistan”

Land & People has been exposing the real reason behind our involvement in Afghanistan for the last six months. We have repeatedly informed you that the war is not about “bringing democracy” to the Afghan people any more than it is about the phoney “War on Terror”. It’s about BIG Oil in general and control [...]

“Is climate change a reality?” Ye Gods – what a daft question!

It never fails to amaze us here at Land & People how daft some people really are. The target of our ire this wintry Monday afternoon is whoever framed the question which formed the basis of a recent opinion poll. The question asked was – “Is climate change a reality?” It’s a bit like asking: [...]

IPCC climate models ARE wrong!

First of all let’s clear up one point. The IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) is a United Nations entity, dependent upon United Nation’s funding and cannot – under any circumstances – be regarded as an independent body, as it likes to claim! Perhaps that’s why its findings have been exposed as erroneous (some prefer [...]

Fisheries: Scotland’s “David” slays EU’s “Goliath”

It is reported in the controlled media that the Clyde Fishermen’s Association (CFA) has won its lengthy battle with the European Commission (EC) over what has been described as an “administrative mistake” relating to the number of days West of Scotland based fishing vessels were allowed to put to sea in 2007.
As a direct [...]

Glenn Beck on the IPCC

We don’t agree with all that American commentator Glenn Beck has to say, although we find his stance on “big government” and the threat it presents to personal liberty refreshing and of particular relevance at the present time. As one former US president once said: “as government expands, liberty contracts”! That said, we consider Mr [...]

IPCC farce continues with yet another major “mistake” exposed!

Regular visitors to this site will recall yesterday’s report in which we criticised Labour’s so-called “Climate Secretary” for allegedly saying that the work of the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) should not be dismissed because of one “mistake”. We pointed out that far from “one mistake” that the pro-“man made” global warming IPCC [...]

The Labour Minister and the IPCC’s “one mistake”!

It would appear that there are some in the “man-made” global warming camp who have no sense of moment! The news that a Labour minister had now come out in defence of the discredited IPCC must surely drive the last nail into its coffin of credibility! Labour, as we all know, will go down in [...]

Latest revelations utterly discredit the United Nations’ IPCC cabal

Oh dear, oh dear! THE United Nations discredited Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has been exposed as having wrongly linked global warming to a rise in natural disasters such as hurricanes and floods. This follows another gaff over their erroneous (some prefer the word “fraudulent”) claims concerning Himalayan glacier melt.
Once again the IPCC [...]

CPRE concerned over Goverment house building programme – but says nothing about immigration-fueled overpopulation – again!

According to an article in a recent edition of the Daily Telegraph “The green belt is too important to the health of the nation and the environment to allow plans to build 200,000 homes in protected countryside, campaigners have warned”. All very true and a sentiment to be applauded. The subject matter of the article [...]

The Acre has been quietly killed off by the EU!

The Acre has been killed off by the EU under Directive 80/181/EEC. All land must now be registered in Hectares. While acres may otherwise be used alongside Hectares as has been the case for some years now, this amendment will in time probably mean the end of common usage for this particular [...]
