blessed britons

at the peak of the emergency, the British held more than 70,000 Kikuyu supporters of Mau Mau in detention camps. The vast majority of these detainees were held without trial, simply on the order of the administration, on the basis of accusation or mere suspicion... In the midst of the war, draconian anti-terrorist laws were introduced suspending the human rights of suspects, imposing collective punishments, facilitating detention without trial, permitting the seizure of property of convicts, and vastly extending the death penalty...

mad world

Professor Martin Parry of the UK's Meteorological Office estimates that a rise of just 2.1 degrees will expose between 2.3 and 3 billion people to the risk of water shortages. The disappearance of glaciers in the Andes and the Himalayas will imperil the people who depend on their meltwater, particularly in Pakistan, western China, Central Asia, Peru, Ecuador and Bolivia. As rainfall decresases, there are likely to be longer and more frequent droughts in southern Africa, Australia and other countries surrounding the Mediterranean.

Nugget Nug"get n.

1. a small roughly shaped lump, especially of gold
2. Something of value, usually found among many other less valuable things; often used figuratively; as, a nugget of useful information in a sea of data.

Ants collect nuggets, and Antarchia is made up mostly from nuggets - small gems of information that do not often see the light of day among the chaos of the world wide web.

Of course, the more nuggets the ants collect, the harder it is to see them among the chaos that is Antarchia. So here are some ways to find your way around:

The nuggets on the category page can be viewed according to Antarchia's main categories (the grey ones along the top bar).
To catch all nuggets tagged with a particular term, go to the nuggets-tag page.
To search for nuggets using any keyword, go to the nuggets-search page.

You can also use the links below, or the menu on the left, to scroll through individual crumbs of gold.

Israel captured the Golan Heights from Syria in 1967, at the same time as it occupied the West Bank and Gaza Strip.Today the Golan Heights remain illegally occupied territory, with 33 Israeli settlements housing over 20,000 settlers. Golan wine accounts for over a third of all Israel’s wine exports, with Tesco, Waitrose and Selfridges openly selling Yarden wine from the Golan Heights Winery, marketed as ‘Wine of Israel’.
