Food security and the selling off of Australia’s farmland to the highest bidder is finally starting to get some mainstream media attention: Much of the dairying industry, from farm gate to supermarket shelves, was carved up by Japan, Europe and New Zealand over the previous decade.

Yes, my dear Zionist followers, Israel is a peace-loving nation
Didi Remez writes in Israel that some in the local press are capable of detailing the shameless spin of the Netanyahu regime. In the Diaspora, meanwhile, Israel is a holy state that only strives for peace on a daily basis.
We love to privatise everything and make the world a better place

What a bankrupt war breeds
The massive growth in private mercenary companies since 9/11 is exposed with yet another investigation. But the end result? More outsourcing to unaccountable companies who are desperate for wars to continue and expand. Killing is a good business: An Australian-owned security company has been accused of a litany of abuses in Afghanistan – including theft…

Tehran fears cultural imperialism but they just end up looking like paranoid and bigoted fools: In little more than a year, the Persian-language satellite television channel beamed into Iran by Rupert Murdoch’s News Corporation and a prominent Afghan family has rapidly become one of the most popular stations in the country. A little too popular,…

From the Times Higher Education supplement: No one is suggesting that Sir Michael or Sands put the interests of their employer, or former employer, first.
