The nature of this moment

01-07-2004 20:54

No serious progressive person should view "Zargawi" as anything more than a crude and transparent attempt to transfix our gaze in the face of what is clearly an attempt to lead our people through fear. Zargawi was most likely killed some time ago as has been widely reported. The stupid theme of the "bad guys" continues. Understand your "1984 world." Orwell now more than ever, jamie

Knowledge is Power or Life in the Pseudo (Money) Economy

01-07-2004 16:40

"When one hears the parties, they all seem to refuse responsibility and are only interested in preserving their power, not in any particular task of doing something for our country and its people.. Who can endure this political Punch-and-Judy show? Pseudo-debates in which unimportant things are discussed and charges of incompetence are heard on all sides.

INDONESIAN ELECTION BOYCOTT

01-07-2004 15:40

Back in April we reported that West Papuans were planning a mass boycott of the Indonesian parliamentary elections. On the day of the elections West Papuans burnt down polling stations, sank a boat carrying ballot papers and almost unanimously refused to vote. This represented one of the biggest acts of resistance against Indonesian occupation by the West Papuan people for some time. And surprisingly there was little retaliation from the police or military. This may have been in part due to a swathe of simultaneous solidarity demonstrations at Indonesian embassies around the world including London.

When it comes to the crunch, the government seems more interested in appeasing the homophobes of Middle England than in enacting rights for queers.
