Australian PRODOS Institute may be Backed By Government Funding

The australian based prodos institute may be backed by US and Aussie government funding.

Rumour has it that Australian based prodos institute may be backed by US and Aussie government funding. I wouldn't be suprised if it was with all it's capitalist propoganda and it's constant slagging off of people trying to speak about real issues. It has been proved that many of the pics published on the site showing the 'thuggish behaviour of demonstrators' at the sept 11 2000 australian anti-wto demos were infact took in seattle nearly a year earlier. I don't believe they even have to lie to front their bollox.
Anyway, their December 2nd walk for capitalism was a sham..only 6 people turned up in Bath and no one turned up at all in manchester, England!

Hey thanks for the 'rumour' - No Shit!?!?

It's a well known group in australia - go read about it there.

The point by the way was not that 6 people turned up etc but that they got lots and lots of media coverage - it was a lovely 'culture-jamming' project in essence.

Watch for it next year....

Hooray for downsizing!
Hooray for the dot com boom!
You work weekends so we don't have to.
Our stock is more important than your family.
Work harder - trust fund babies need new SUVs.
Boeing proves Capitalism works!
HMOs prove Capitalism works!
Enron proves Capitalism works!
Excite@Home proves Capitalism works!
Your CEO makes 500 times what you do.
Sharing is for commies.
Child labor = huge profits
The more efficiently you work the more of you we can lay off.
First we pollute your water then we charge you to drink it.
First we give you cancer then we charge you for the cure.
Capitalism - because you love telemarketing.
Capitalism - because you love commercials.
Capitalism - because you love spam email.
Legalize crack so we can profit off it.
You = fired. Us = rich.
When we find a way we'll charge you for air.
Poor consumers don't count.
