Australian government outlines pro-market agenda for its Pacific sphere of influ

Neo-colonial occupation
The publication of “Pacific 2020” is part of the same process. Given the tiny economies of the Pacific islands and East Timor and their reliance on international aid and trade, these countries will be pushed into implementing its agenda—one way or another. Significantly the report was released a month after the publication of a “White Paper on the Australian Government’s Overseas Aid Program” which explicitly links aid to economic demands.

Manufacturing “terror” as a means of intimidation

28-06-2006 12:54

Following is an article from wsws.org which exposes the terrorist threat in the USA to be a government organised fraud — in all the terror cases the article discusses the key organiser of the plots has been a government agent.
