Action Committee To Get The People Their Money Back
22-08-2007 14:06
As we [ACTION COMMITTEE TO GET THE PEOPLE THEIR MONEY BACK] have pointed out before, a number of individuals got on TV and other media making promises that they were doing something tangible and that the people would get their money back from the perpetrators who acted by using the name 'First Solution'. The victims have been low-income, mainly expatriate Bangladeshis in the UK. The 'publicity' has been mainly given to divert attention away from the shoulders of the perpetrators, the individuals who took the money and who controlled the taking and misappropriating of the cash.The occupation of the BAA staff parking lot - Night and Day and blockade

11th hour - movie references obscure
22-08-2007 12:08
The new USA "save the world" movie "11th hour", with all its celeb backing, seems almost to obscure the things it tries to explain, but include "blindspots" - or "logic jumps" - that have the - perhaps unintentional - effect of distracting the people watching it from - in these days of "subprimedebtboombustcrashes" is as hard to miss as a Flood.Environment News From Gagged!

Who wants Pegah’s Blood?
21-08-2007 23:50
The case of Pegah Emambakhsh is the umpteenth case of violation of human rights by our governments.
The EveryOne Group, the activists and the politicians who have joined the appeal for her life have obtained a postponement until 28th August. But we must not be deceived, the government is just waiting for public opinion to be distracted by other events in order to force Pegah up the plane steps and send her to her death.. Similar deportations have already taken place, even in recent times, in the United Kingdom and other countries which like to be defined “democratic”. If we abandon Pegah, we will surrender our humanity and “they” will win.

"The statesmen will invent cheap lies, putting blame upon the nation that is attacked, and every man will be glad of those conscience-soothing falsities, and will diligently study them, and refuse to examine any refutations of them; and thus he will by and by convince himself that the war is just, and will thank God for the better sleep he enjoys after this process of grotesque self-deception. - "Chronicle of Young Satan" Mark Twain"Leeds Animal Day extravaganza!

Scared by a wave of unofficial walkouts at the beginning of August that raised the spectre of an all out post strike, Royal Mail bosses have finally agreed to negotiations with the Communication Workers Union. Reportedly £23 million has been found to help fund pay rises. But the rank and file militants, who led the decisive wildcat strike in Scotland that forced Royal Mail into talks, may still be denied victory. A CWU rep explains the dangers - and the opportunities - in the current stage of the dispute.Full article | 1 addition | 2 comments
