Legal Aid Reforms - An Attack on the Working Class!

11-11-2006 17:46

Picture this – A nervous and overwhelmed individual is dragged before a court. He has spent the previous night in police custody, being interviewed about a crime he is alleged to have committed. He is tired and he is scared. He is dragged before a court, who are simply interested in getting home on time. He has no legal representation. The prosecuting solicitor wants him locked up, and launches into an eloquent tirade, using all his years of training and experience in the legal field, explaining exactly why this man should not be released. The man is asked if he has anything to say in his defence. He stutters and stumbles through a cringe worthy attempt to appeal for his freedom, ending with the words “….and, uh, sorry but this is very hard without a solicitor”. The judges feel that they have little choice but to send him to prison, and that is where he goes, bewildered and frightened.

On this day following the mid-term elections, many individuals around me are cheering, but I am yawning—the other wing of America’s one and only corporate party has triumphed and is certain to anoint another consummate globalist in 2008. Whether the name is Clinton or Obama matters little.

NeoCon Continuity at the Pentagon: Robert Gates Involved in Iran-Contra Scandal

10-11-2006 15:31

New Middle East Map
In a bitter irony, "the defeat of the Republicans" has served to reinforce rather than weaken the Neoconservative grip on US foreign policy.

If Robert M. Gates is appointed Secretary of Defense (in a prearranged bipartisan consensus), one can expect the military agenda in Iraq to be directed more forecefully towards the breaking up of Iraq as a nation.

The Iran Contra affair in which Robert Gates was implicated was part of the architecture of the "war on terrorism".

California Democrat Nancy Pelosi, who is slated to become the next speaker of the House, has not signified her disapproval of the nomination of Robert M. Gates.

MI5 Dame: Brit Intelligence Busy Creating Terror Events

10-11-2006 15:24

Dame Eliza Manningham-Buller said "MI5 and the police were tackling 200 groups or networks totalling more than 1,600 identified individuals in the UK who were ‘actively engaged in plotting or facilitating terrorist acts,’ ”

Never mind that such terrorist acts rarely come to fruition, usually instead sputtering out into absurd allegations of liquid bombs and other fantastical plots nipped in the bud, or so we are expected to believe, that is after we suspend credibility, again for the umpteenth time.
