SchNEWS TOTALITARIAN-O-METER!
Heard about the Legislative and Regulatory Reform Bill? Tedium personified by the sound of it. In fact concealed under this yawn inducing title is possibly the biggest goosestep towards a totally authoritarian society the Blair oligarchy has yet dared to take.

Crossrail hole Bill thretens more than East End of London-democracy too

05-03-2006 22:31

The threat posed to the East End of London by the UK Hosue of Commons draft piece of legislation, the CROSSRAIL Bill, goes beyond the planned destruction of entire communities and neighbourhoods. It also includes the destruction of what remains of local democracy, and the electors say on what is done in their name by their own 'locally elected council'. The Khoodeelaar! Campaign has just finalised the first comprehensive report on the role of those councillors who have held key posts in Tower Hamlets Council. They have acted as touts and as agents for Crossrail hole plan. Just as nominations for council elections begin to be finalised for the scheduled May 4 local elections, the findings of the Khoodeelaar! Investigation into Tower Hamlets Council make fascinating reading for all concerned with the defence of democracy in Britain.

ALTER-NATION! Time for an Alternative Parliament?

05-03-2006 19:53

The fraudulent General Election of 2005
This farce has to end. My views, and those of millions of others, are barely whimpers in the shouting-matches going on in Parliament. Given what we face in terms of climate change, we cannot afford the luxury of this right-wing Parliament which is in utter, utter denial.

The 9/11 - Israeli Spy Connection

05-03-2006 19:47

These are the videos AIPAC lobbied FOX News to remove from their website. Since then, AIPAC has found itself embroiled in yet another espionage case, this time involving an operative inside the very Pentagon office from which many of the now discredited claims abut Iraq's WMD.

FOX News threatened this website to force the removal of these videos, but they appear here at this outside website for those of you unaware that on 9-11, the largest foreign spy ring ever uncovered in the US was in the process of being rounded up, and that evidence linking these arrested Israeli spies to 9-11 has been classified by the US Government!
