Drones parked in our own backyard, to Bomb our own People
18-02-2009 22:05
In a shocking discovery reports have emerged from simply Google Earth images evidence of three drones parked on an airfield in some remote destination within Baluchistan, the images were captured by orbiting satellites and archived within Google Earth data warehouse to suddenly be discovered recently. Though there is no denying that during the Musharraf regime bases were rented out to the American army costing them a massive deficit to the tune of $10 Billion. But what probably irks the nation is that the Pakistani government have categorically denied that the Pakistani bases are being used to launch drones-The problem with extremists

The problem with describing a view as 'extreme' and the person who holds it as an 'extremist' is that it assumes some nearby point relative to which the putative extreme and putative extremist are thus distantly situated; and it assumes that it's the very distance that matters. Take the idea that people are to be considered extremists if they 'fail to condemn the killing of British soldiers in Iraq or Afghanistan'. Not even if they approve of or condone it; if they merely fail to condemn it.

The furnace must stay working for production at the factory to continue.
If the furnace stops, the glass will solidify and the repairs would cost 8 million euros.
Israelis, in Crisis, Vote for a Government of War
14-02-2009 12:46
Dust of Tuesday's voting battle settled down and the battle of forming the next Israeli government has just begun. With Benjamin Netanyahu poised for premiership and Avigdor Lieberman, leader of a “racist and fascist” party (as condemned by Talia Sasson of the Merez party) very well positioned to be the king or queen maker of the next ruling coalition, the Palestinian people and the whole region will have to brace as from next March for an Israeli government of war.Demonstration at Brighton Magistrate's Court in Support of the EDO 6

Censored Brighton Council Motion Against EDO MBM published by Wikileaks
12-02-2009 10:19
A copy of the motion of censure that Green Party councilors tried to table at 29 Jan 09 full city council meeting, is now available at the www.wikileaks.org website.Convenors of the council meeting blocked the motion on 16th January 2009 just hours before EDO MBM was decomissioned by six peace activists.
The document was leaked because the Green Party said they would press release the refusal (see handwritten note) but never did.
