Israel Asserting Middle East Supremacy: From Gaza to Tehran

02-02-2009 14:53

"The New Middle East"
Just as Nazi Germany interpreted the passivity, sympathy and impotence of the West when confronted by ‘facts on the ground’ as license for aggression, the Israeli military machine receives a powerful impetus for bigger and bloodier wars to establish Israel’s supremacy and dominance of the Middle East, from the Red Sea to the Persian Gulf.

Burst bubble poster for failing gentrifiying areas

Bubble Bursting Poster
A small contribution to deflating the new media bubble that 'we' are all guilty of having made tons of money made from the previous housing bubble and it was all our fault. When papers can seriously talk of 'us' suffering from 'luxury fatigue', you gotta wonder if it's not time to make a few more lovely spiteful posters like this one.

Why the police riot? - part 3

02-02-2009 01:32

Masked & Anonymous - public order policing in Parliament Square, 31st Jan 2009
The British police public order manual is a secret document establishing a paramilitary third force in the UK, under the control of a private company (ACPO) with permission from the home office. It's long overdue that more information about this was in the public domain.
