Shale gas: Halliburton's weapon of mass devastation
Across the United States the exploitation of gas and oil from shale rocks using Halliburton's hydraulic fracturing technology continues amid rising disasters. Unregulated drilling practices, rendered legal by the "Halliburton Loophole" engineered in 2005 by Vice President Dick Cheney, have had staggering consequences for ground water, public health, earthquake induction and the environment in general. Lured by the prospect of reducing oil dependence, President Obama's ambivalent approach (...) - 01. Focus / Energy economics , Halliburton

Whose atrocities?
Since The end of WWII and the Nuremburg Trials, international justice and the denunciation of crimes against humanity have operated according to a double standard. The right of the strongest has functioned best for the U.S. and its allies which have accumulated crimes with complete impunity, all the while presenting themselves as the guarantors of human rights. International courts, organizations and the media, far from denouncing this state of affairs, support this “humanitarian” farce. (...) - 06. Controversies / United States , Rome (Italy)
