Bari Bates

BRUSSELS, Mar 19 2012 (IPS) – Decades ago, 15 of Europe s wealthiest nations made a promise to allocate .7 percent of their respective gross national products (GNP) to official development assistance.

Among the few leaders who have prioritised this target is Denmark s Prime Minister Helle Thorning- Schmidt, who was recently celebrated by the confederation of European non-governmental organisations known as CONCORD, together with the ONE Campaign, for Denmark s aid commitment to help the world s poorest.

Volunteers and activists donned masks of the Danish Prime Minister s face on Mar. 16, under …

COVID 19 – Conspiracy or Apocalypse? – Part II

We turn to look at a second set of theories that we call the apocalyptic theories.  Those who subscribe to these theories see the COVID-19 outbreak as the revenge of God or nature, or both, against the arrogance of humans

AMSTERDAM/ROME, Jun 8 2020 (IPS) – As the COVID-19 virus spread rapidly around the globe, so did various theories about what caused the pandemic. According to the standard scientific theory, the virus originated in bats; crossed over to humans, probably via another intermediate host; and then spread rapidly across the globe.

While the mainstream scientific theory sufficed for some, a large number of people saw the pandemic as the work of cold-hearted militar…
