The media weren't reporting. They were taking sides. With our enemies. And our enemies won. Because, under media assault, we lost our will to fight on.During the combat operations, al-Jazeera constantly aired trumped-up footage and insisted that U.S. Marines were destroying Fallujah and purposely targeting women and children, causing hundreds of innocent casualties as part of an American crusade against Arabs.
It was entirely untrue. But the truth didn't matter. Al-Jazeera told a receptive audience what it wanted to believe. Oh, and the "Arab CNN" immediately followed the Fallujah clips with video of Israeli "atrocities." Connecting the dots was easy for those nurtured on hatred.

The United Nations say that 90% of war-victims are civilians and at least half of these childern. Ironic then that Farnborough International 2004 should be using childern to foster acceptance of weapons systems at its 'air show' this year (Monday July 19 - Sunday July 25).Assaults by "Peace and Justice" against Zapatistas in Tila Denounced.

20-05-2004 09:59
The London Freelance Branch of the NUJ is calling a demo at the AmericanEmbassy 11am-1pm monday May 24th. The focus of our demo is Iraqi journalist
Junis Kuthair who has been in Abu Ghraib prison since september 2003.
No reason was given for his arrest though we are fairly sure that the US
forces were unhappy about him interviewing Iraqi cops who were wounded by
US soldiers in Falluja. We also want to highlight the general repression of
the Arab media in Iraq.
So please come down, bring banners and imagination, all welcome

"Now and then persons at the top of our political pyramids have a screw loose somewhere. George Hitler alias Adolf Bush appealing to God is the best example.. Can this continue for ever? Will idiots in power breed idiots who defend their idiotologies? I don't believe so. Rather new concepts will arise in the future.. Perhaps new ideas and new systematics will set programs instead of persons in the foreground.."The Oxford based social centre OCSET has been re-born in a beautiful location
