Lest we forget!

NEW YORK, Aug. 24, 1998 — At the CIA, it happens often enough to have a code name: Blowback. Simply defined, this is the term that describes an agent, an operative or an operation that has turned on its creators. Osama bin Laden, our new public enemy Number 1, is the personification of blowback. And the fact that he is viewed as a hero by millions in the Islamic world proves again the old adage: Reap what you sow.
I don't condone or justify yesterday's slaughter, but let's not forget who made Bin Laden what he is!

"In the year of the new century and nine months,
From the sky will come a great King of Terror...
The sky will burn at forty-five degrees.
Fire approaches the great new city..."
"In the city of york there will be a great collapse,
2 twin brothers torn apart by chaos
while the fortress falls the great leader will succumb
third big war will begin when the big city is burning"
- NOSTRADAMUS
New York is located at the 41st degree Latitude.

Nostradamus is a load of shite

People have quoted Nostradamus to me dozens of times over the years as proof of the world about to end. am I alone in remembering how the birthmark on Gorbachev's head was supposed to be in there somewhere so proving he was going to destroy the world. And there was some crap about Chernobyl too. Well both those examples must be about 15 years - the world did not end, Nostradamus was wrong, it is all mystical bollox.
What next, are we going to have an IMC astrologer predicting world events? Please take this crap off the site, it diminishes Indymedia leaving it on.

bullshit for all the good folks of the western world and the
muslim version for all the poor folks from the south.
and now it's time to play the Muslim / Christian war games.
The bankers who financed WW1 and WW2 are putting down a deposit on WW3, it's time to check out a banker or two .
funny, I keep thinking of bit's from catch 22 , like when Milo minderbender, has the squadron bomb their own base, "whats good for the syndicate is good for you"
I wonder if it's possible to guess what their next move will
be, I guess we are pretty soon going to see a lot of tractors and trailers in the sites of the most sophisticated (war) machines on the planet, smart bombs to kill innocent people, woman and children. Of course our friends in the corporate media will turn it into evening entertainment, and then there's the film rights ..
knock down a few countries, use up some of the stock pile of arms which are coming up to their sell by date .
then there is the rebuilding programme should keep capitalism alive for another 50 years. You know why , Bush senior never took out Saddam, Hollywood already had him under contract for a starring role in a much bigger blockbuster than
desert storm . coming soon to all the major TV channels WW3

Calling on film makers and music gurus’
In solidarity with all the faceless cowards who, each and every-day are the victims of state and corporate violence, a project to tip the scales.
Those who orchestrated the strikes on Americana have been labelled faceless cowards by the new figurehead of corporate domination, president Bush. Exposure to the media propaganda, hearing the words of truth, justice and democracy from those who want it only for a few, it occurred to me that a message needs to get through, one that is not being acknowledged by America Public Ltd. From those on the ground in the US it appears that America Public Ltd is baying for blood and not to concerned about the why and the wherefore. If anything positive is to come out this recent tragedy, if the lives lost are to mean anything then the message that needs to get through is that you brought it upon yourselves, yes the truth hurts but grow up and deal with it.
Getting the message through.
A collaboration between film editors and musicians around the world to put together a visual-audio piece that brings this message home. Footage of Bush and Blair harping on about democracy etc with images of American and Nato forces committing acts of violence around the world in the interest of the global economy. Juxtapose images with number of people killed in American and Nato operations over the last decade compared with the number of people killed in terrorist attacks. Definitions of democracy and anarchy, definitions of state sanctioned violence and terrorism. It is time to hold the mirror up to the face of Americana in a language Americana will understand – a corporate music pop single – we are talking a money making opportunity for some schmuck record company, lets see which one takes the bait. If they don’t or that just seems to fucking repugnant, (which it is) it can always go out on CD/DVD and over the net produced and copied on CD burners and writers the world over.
This has to be a global collaboration involving fringe/trendy music makers so that it will have the cred to make it travel – words are never enough, it’s the names on the sleeve that people ‘buy’ into. That or keep it activist and annon – faceless cowards my arse!!!

Yesterday I overheard someone where I work say that she felt like she had when Lady Diana was killed.
But today they seemed quite receptive when I explained that the USA had given Bin Laden his training (I refered to the 'relative' nature of terrorism and how lots of individuals in the USA donate money to the Irish Republican Army too).
Tomorrow there's a 3 minute silence scheduled (across Europe apparently). I guess I'll have to try explaining why I think Plan Cloumbia also constitutes terrorism (as does shifting production work out of well-paid USA to the ASEAN or NAFTA [Mexico] sub-minimum-wage economies).
Here's the memo from Consignia (the formerly state-operated British Post Office):
As most of you probably know, there will be a European day of mourning tomorow (Friday 14 September) following this week's terrorist attacks in America. A three-minute silence is being held at 11am tomorrow morning.
Consignia wants everyone who wishes to observe the silence to be allowed to do so and, where necessary, operational arrangements for tomorrow should be made to accommodate this.
Consignia also raised it's alert state by two levels (from Black to Amber). I doubt they are really a target in the same league as the Pentagon or WTC. Royal Mail's sorting-office and delivery staff's day-to-day worries mostly come from small-scale bomb-senders (please don't involve the posties, it's not honourable).

Beyond that, I'm pretty worried about the wider implications of this, keeping in mind U.S foreign policy, and generally depressed about the retaliation they are planning. Their policies kill millions and they throw millions at brutal regimes-but suddenly, all life is sacred.
Absurdity, absurdity. Creating an environment of fear. What happens now, what happens now? Globalisation? Democratic nations, democratic nations...tell me please, before your moral indignations, the prayers you never say for the daily thousands that die due to your great lands..and what you mean beyond the scary words you're using.

another word; well, if impending doom does make its way over here - what will all the anti-capatalists do ( and the rest of them) when the money stops working? lets look and see who's had some forethought to get a bit of self-reliance and community autonomy and support - do you know how you'd survive without your daily cash, food, services etc? community gardeners and healers and alternative tekkies and low-impact builders and precious resource regenerators and non-violent group communication teachers etc etc ahoy - true activists they are in times of need. blak blokkers get a veg patch, learn how to purify your water, invert your 12v, resolve conflict in yourself/others and do something useful. ( now i'm not saying that protest & media is a baaaad ting - y'know - its all part of the rich tapestry). its about action in daily life
