Australians have become a victim of terrorism

13-03-2007 21:30

GENOCIDE
The John Howard government's terrorist antics have been the most dangerous acts of aggression on sovereign nations for 200 years. Why wouldn't people fear some form of retaliation or false flag terrorist act now? What you do is what you get! So why do it? Why take the risk? Then tell us about the risks because of what you do? Who should be scared? John Howard should be scared at the next election. We should be scared that he was elected last time and that the mass media power help reinforce that fear by propping up a war criminal and his governments terrorist antics.

Introducing A Game As Old As Empire

13-03-2007 21:26

After the Economic Hitmen retire from their cushy jobs of raping nations under "legal cover", they write confessionals as victims of conscience. Should we have let go Adolph Eichmann too had he written a confessional? The latter was the harbinger of misery to millions of peoples for a short span of a few years with just the stroke of a pen, and we tried him in Jerusalem. Whereas the former are the harbingers of the continued entrapment of entire nations in inextricable systems of poverty and misery for generations and they walk free in suits and ties, sometimes even heading prestigious economic institutions. Should we applaud the former EHM and absolve them of their own past monumental crimes just because they are revealing it all now post faits accomplis and laughing their way to the bank? Or should we use this information in informing our own Moral Activism to prevent future fait accompli? Should we demand from them that they deposit all the proceeds of their confessional writings in trust for the benefit of the nations they raped? Should we do something about the empire's "legal covers" and condemn them unequivocally as deliberate enablers of multi-color-collared crimes against humanity by the emperors? The choice of Moral-Activism is ours! To exercise this choice efficaciously however, we must be addressing the issues at the right levels of abstraction! The highest order bits are in the intellectual space!

Don't long-term beneficiaries deserve our sympathy?

13-03-2007 21:13

These are interviews with two long-term beneficiaries who have terrible lives. Surely people who live like this deserve sympathy, education and support, rather than their benefits cut and welfare managed by the private sector, as Gordon Brown proposes?

Global Warming: Truth or Dare?

13-03-2007 19:28

NOT THE GREATEST POTENTIAL THREAT TO HUMANITY

Global warming is often presented as the greatest potential threat to humankind and as the greatest environmental and ecological threat on the planet. It is also presented as a problem that could be solved or contained by determined international collaboration - by political will if it were present.

Nice one Greenpeace!

13-03-2007 17:16

Today activists from Greenpeace scaled a large crane by Parliament and hung a banner suggesting that our prime minister is rather keen on WMD. Not an unreasonable assumption when you consider that that Mr Blair wants to spend a mere 20 billion of our money upgrading Trident. Anyone wishing to view the clear and obvious benefits of spending this kind of money on nuclear weapons should type 'hiroshima' into google.

Press release by Greenpeace below.

We were a very small group considering we were supposed to represent over 20,000 students. There were only 8 of us! We therefore decided not to blockade because to do anything really effective would have taken all of us, leaving none to be a presence.

Sharon Ebanks scraping the nazi barrel for NNP candidates

13-03-2007 15:17

Sharon Ebanks' New Nationalist Party (NNP), desperate to find candidates to stand in the forthcoming local government elections in May, seems to be frantically approaching all and sundry - even the outcasts of the nazi world - to find enough people to stand in order to give her already ailing party (dubbed the 'Dodgy Desperados' by her friends) some credibility on the far-right.
