Motornet: Karl Ferguson Takes On A Pair Of Ford FPVs
- Toxic terror yellow, caped crusader blue – is it possible that Ford’s FPV colour palette has in some way been
influenced by comic book super heroes – or anti-heroes for that matter? Judging by the sheer luridness of the test GT
and Typhoon vehicles you could certainly be forgiven for thinking so. All that’s missing are a few conveniently timed
‘crunches’ and ‘kapows.’ See... MOTORNET: Ford FPV - Comic Book Capers [1]
The Hollow Men: A Scoop Compendium Of Post Publication News & Comment
- What happened to Frankenstein’s unnamed creature? He escaped his maker, blundered around trying to be accepted by
real human beings, lashed out and killed in fury at being rejected, and disappeared into the frozen Arctic wastes, never
to be seen again. Don Brash was not a politician, any more than Frankenstein’s creature was a human being. Many of the
fascinating exchanges published yesterday from Nicky Hager’s book The Hollow Men show how hard his clutch of bumbling
Frankensteins tried to turn him into one – and how cross they were when, despite their best efforts, he stuffed up yet
again. See... Letter from Elsewhere: Frankenstein’s Creature [1] MORE: C.D. Sludge - Sludge Report #172: How Hollow The Hollow Men?

Mexico: New Zealander In Thick Of Fighting In Oaxaca Mexico
- New Zealander Julie Webb-Pullman has been reporting for Scoop.co.nz from Mexico's Oaxaca where a localised rebellion
has been violently opposed by state and federal government backed forces for the past several months. Her most recent
report, sent Friday (published today), summed up the previous weeks events. See... Mexico: The Good, The Bad, And The Hopeful [1] . This morning however we received a rushed report that indicates things have turned from bad to worse over the
weekend. As the sun was going down over Oaxaca it seems that a large scale violent suppression of protest was underway
in the city. See... NZer Trapped In Oaxaca - Crackdown Underway [2] & Narconews: An Affront to the People of Oaxaca [3]
NATO: Michel Chossudovsky Previews NATO's Summit In Latvia
- On the 29th of November, heads of State and heads of government from the 26 States together with Ministers of Defense
and senior military brass of the "enlarged" Atlantic Alliance (NATO) will be meeting in Riga, Latvia. See... NATO Debates "War And Peace" Behind Closed Doors [1]
Scoop Blogwatch: Skepticism About The Litvinenko Poisoning Coverage
- We are living in a prime-time Bond film: we have dashing spies, poisoning, espionage, allegations of undercover
assassinations. Murdered journalists are involved, as are billionaire 'tycoons'. What is going on? A former KGB spy,
Alexander Litvinenko, ... See... Bond And The Return Of The Evil Empire [1] & Litvinenko Victim of Weapons Grade Polonium? [2]
Israel & Palestine: Post Election Hopes For Policy Change
- The astounding results of the US Congressional elections of 7 November were undoubtedly a welcome sign of change, not
in the American political apparatus, inasmuch as it is in the unmistakable reclamation by the public of its role as the
driving force ... See… Ramzy Baroud: Democrats Must Truly Change Course [1] MORE: Genevieve Cora Fraser - US Policy Stays the Course Despite Dem. Victory [2] Haaretz - Scoop Link: Israel, Palestinians Reach Agreement on Cease-Fire [3] Uri Avnery - An Evening in Jounieh [4]
