Unfascist Radical Reprogramming Programme Proposed

09-03-2006 00:32 | Analysis | Anti-militarism | Repression | World

Appearing on the Government television network the Australian Broadcasting Corporation tonight, Federal Police Commissioner Mick Keelty has proposed a programme for the deprogramming and reprogramming of political radicals, particularly (and at first) where those dangerous idealists pose some manner of immediate threat to the Australian State. Following models now in place in the United States and Indonesia, Keelty suggested compulsory reprogramming programmes could reduce the risk to Australian interests from militants, dissidents, and ideologues.

Surveillance

09-03-2006 00:29 | Analysis | Repression | Social Struggles | World

It is up to ordinary people to raise the level of debate about the undemocratic surveillance practices of the many faceless and unaccountable agents who make daily intrusions on individual privacy, and about the apologists and propagandists for the War nn Terror who applaud every new attack on human rights and freedoms as "prudent" or "necessary". If there is no discussion of reverse surveillance in the national media, create it on the streets on a citizen to citizen basis. If nobody is talking about the outrageous assaults on privacy and human rights embodied in the new antiterrorist acts forced through US, UK and Australian legislatures, start talking about it to your neighbours and friends.

U.S. repression of journalists

08-03-2006 13:02 | Repression | World

Bush and his ultra-right honchos are really pissed this time – in their efforts to track down a US loyalist, who spilt the beans on domestic spying, the Bush gestapo are now targeting journos and the free press. All the ‘security’ agencies at this megalomaniac’s disposal have been commandeered for the task. This attack on the free press is yet another devastating blow directed at the already battered body of American democracy and liberty. America, the home of the brave and the land of the free, has been relegated to the historical record. This new land is an abominable aberration of the original.

Watergate reporter Carl Bernstein is invoked over Crossrail hole media

08-03-2006 11:11 | Analysis | Indymedia | Social Struggles | World

Watergate investigative reporter CARL BERNSTEIN was shown in a BBC News 24 'Hardtack' interview with Stephen Sackur this morning [8 March 2006].Bernstein decried the media in the USA where local communities were fed up of being denied the coverage of their lives and of issues that mattered to their local communities. Bernstein could have been equally talking about the East End of London where the campaign against Crossrail whole attacks is being systematically excluded coverage by the so-called independent local press. One of those 'titles' is reviewed here by Khoodeelaaronline

Briefing on the Legislative and Regulatory Reform Bill - Get Clued Up Now!!

08-03-2006 08:15 | Repression | Social Struggles | World

Boring bill title, but a massive change to the so-called democracy in this country. The Bill would allow the government to introduce, amend, or replace any legislation it likes, on the say so of a single government minister. Things like creating new offences punishable by up to 2yrs imprisonment, abolising local government, introducing house arrest, and giving the police greater powers of arrest and interrogation. It could also be used to set up new courts, and in effect re-write the rules on immigration, nationality, divorce, inheritance and the appointment of judges – all without any parliamentary scrutiny...

US has been asking Iran to stabilise Iraq

07-03-2006 19:50 | Analysis | Anti-militarism | World

Jon Snow of Channel Four news is reporting from Iraq this week. Tonight he came out with a great journalistic 'scoop'.

While I realise Jon Snow isn't independent media, he is the closest thing to it regularly permitted on British TV. It is highly significant to lots of issues discussed here ( the occupation, Irans nuclear ambitions, US and UK allegations of Iranian involvement ) and this transcript isn't yet available on the Ch4 website or anywhere else. As this report flies in the face of all other US/UK journalism on the subject and carries serious implications I hope it is allowed to remain here despite its obvious mainstream source..

Autonomous Village Under Siege by Korean Troops

07-03-2006 18:46 | Anti-militarism | Repression | Social Struggles | World

Pyeongtaek, South Korea - On March 6th, 2006, South Korean military riot police began an attack on the autonomous village of Daechuri. For over four years, Daechuri and the nearby community of Doduri have defiantly resisted the siezure of their homes and fields for the expansion of an United States Army base. Barracaded inside the elementary school, rice farmers, elderly residents, and peace activists are holding out against sporadic, sometimes intense attacks by Korea's elite military police force. International support is needed to pressure the Korean government to halt its brutal assault.

Bow West Says No tonight to Crossrail attacks plan on the East End

07-03-2006 12:03 | Analysis | Indymedia | Social Struggles | World

The battle for the public ownership of community resource is taking place across the UK along side the battle against huge diversion of the resource to war and propaganda. Nowhere more consistently than in the East End of London. Quite appropriate, Bethnal Green and Bow MPO George Galloway is involved in the battle as much as any UK Parliamentary constituency Member of Parliament [MP] is ever seen to be. Galloway is due to support tonight’s Bow West campaign meeting against Crossrail attacks on the East End. Speakers include Carole Swords who has been harassed by the present Tower Hamkest Council for her defence of the community. Khoodeelaar! is backing the Bow West meeting.
