I don't think he is a knowing disinformer. But he may well be controlled opposition. Here's a short vid amde about his arch-enemy in South Africa, Matthias Rath: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=94Jsrwjqo-c This is a very one-sided profile of Rath. I'm going to look at the other side of the story too:confused:.

Cheers, mate. Glad you like it.:)

The edition I read didn't have the Rath chapter in it.

How science has been politicized recently! :eek::( I used to read Focus before it was affilated to the BBC, but I cancelled my subscription because of the way it became more politically establishment.:cool:
