Independent Media Transcript 23 February 2006
AKBAYAN accused President Arroyo and Speaker Jose De Venecia of peddling what is essentially a Trojan horse of vested interests, with the objectives of distracting the public from demanding accountability from the President. AKBAYAN said that the solution to the political crisis is not charter change but the immediate ouster of Pres. Arroyo.
"There can never be a meaningful and positive change in the political order if it is done under the reins of President GMA and other traditional politicians. GMA's cha-cha was already tainted the moment it came out of her mouth. The fact that her legitimacy as a President is under question means that she also doesn't have the moral ascendancy to lead the process of amending the constitution," AKBAYAN President Ronald Llamas said.
AKBAYAN said that while an overhaul of constitutional order is the only strategic solution to this crisis, amending the charter should be premised on the objective of deepening democracy and the wholesale repudiation of elite politics. "On the contrary, the cha-cha that GMA and JDV represent will only intensify the entrenchment of the elite in the country's politics and economy. It means constitutionalizing the politics of patronage and exclusion," Llmas added.
AKBAYAN argued that charter change will not solve the political crisis. “Any attempt at a cosmetic solution to the political instability of the nation would only lead to greater sins against the people. We do not need charter change now, what we need is People Power to oust this impostor president,” Llamas stressed.

Billboard against Google, Yahoo and Microsoft
Global IMC via Poland IMC
by Shi Tao 18/2/06
Billboard against Google, Yahoo and Microsoft/ Poland/ Sopot/ 15 february 2006
Shi Tao, a Chinese journalist, is serving a ten-year prison sentence in China for sending an email to the USA. He was accused of “illegally providing state secrets to foreign entities” by using his Yahoo email account.
According to the court transcript of the evidence that led to Shi Tao’s sentencing, the US internet company Yahoo provided account-holder information on him.
Shi Tao was accused of sending an email summarizing an internal Communist Party directive to a foreign source. The Communist Party directive had warned Chinese journalists of possible social unrest during the anniversary of the June 4 Movement (in memory of the Tiananmen crackdown), and directed them not to fuel it via media reports.
Imprisoned for peacefully exercising his right to freedom of expression, a right entrenched in international law and the Chinese Constitution, Shi Tao is considered a Prisoner of Conscience.
Companies must respect human rights, wherever they operate. Yahoo’s business ethics are becoming questionable due to its role in assisting the Chinese government to sentencing Shi Tao. The company has signed the Public Pledge on Self-Discipline for the Internet Industry, effectively agreeing to implement China’s draconian system of censorship and control.

The Abu Ghraib photos and the anti-Muslim “free speech” fraud
Melbourne IMC 19/2/06
by David Walsh wsws.org
As we can see, these proponents of “Western values” are highly selective about applying the fundamental rights of man, including freedom of speech. In regard to the latter, the formula seems simple: what provokes and demonizes the Muslim peoples, and justifies in advance further wars and occupations, should be published and widely disseminated; what exposes the crimes of American imperialism should be suppressed.
