THERE ARE TWO KINDS OF LEADERS

04-10-2005 00:23 | Analysis | World

There are two kinds of leaders. One you would follow into a fire. And another you would push into a fire. President GW Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney are the kinds of "leaders" you would push into a fire. Not once in their pathetically corrupt lives have they ever demonstrated any leadership abilities. Not once.

President Bush says "TROOPS will have to pay for their own BODY BAGS"

03-10-2005 19:46 | Analysis | Anti-militarism | World

Are soldiers are being sent into harm's way without the body armor they need to stay alive. Who is to blame? The answer: the republican party. For the past eleven years republcians have controlled congress and for the last four and a half years republicans have controlled all three branches of the government. Apparently, handing out multibillion dollar no-bid contracts to republican companies is more important to republicans than the lives of our soldiers.

WHAT IF AMERICA WAS INVADED?

03-10-2005 19:15 | Analysis | Anti-militarism | World

What if the United States was invaded and occupied by a foreign military force? What if another country didn't like our leader and they used their superior army, navy, and air force to invade our country to remove him? What if another country invaded us because we have 1,000,000 times the stockpiles of nuclear, chemical, and biological weapons than all the other countries in the world combined? How do you think Americans would react if we were occupied by a foreign military?

The TRUE COST of GW BUSH'S IRAQ WAR

03-10-2005 00:12 | Analysis | Anti-militarism | Globalisation | World

Not only is Bush's Iraq War not worth the cost of our dead soldiers and the hundred thousand dead Iraqis, it is also not worth the staggering cost in cold cash. The Iraq War is the worst foreign policy blunder in the history of the United States. And the dunce who started it is the political prostitute GW Bush, whose every move is controlled by his corporate pimps.

Inside the Insiders

02-10-2005 22:07 | Analysis | Culture | Repression | World

This is a copy of a letter sent to ABC online this morning in response to their 'current affairs' programme "Insiders". It reads, in part, as follows: "On your webpage you declare "Insiders" is a, "fast-moving treatment of national affairs". Because of the loaded reporting style, I would say Insiders is more like a gaggle of protection for the elite, and a thorough-going endorsement of the state's handling of national affairs."

02-10-2005 17:49 | Anti-racism | Free Spaces | World

The Hamburg-based Neo-Nazi leader Christian Worch registered a demonstration for the 1st of October in the city of Leipzig, Germany.

Mysticism and Resistance

02-10-2005 13:28 | Anti-militarism | World

Mystical experience cannot be separated from social relations.. The land that was once home became a place of homelessness, a land of culprits that saw itself as a victim and only rarely accepted for what happened.. Rage, rage against the dying of the light!

The Swedish government announced yesterday that it is launching a programme to end Sweden's oil dependence by 2020. A combination of subsidies for those turning away from fossil fuel, quotas putting limits on fossil fuel consumption, and more research money into renewable energy production, is the government's strategy to put an end to the rule of oil.

domain hosting companies who will let anyone censor any website one-sidedly

When Terrorism Outlaws Democracy

Federal and state leaders sold out democracy when harsher laws were agreed at the Terror Summit. The stronger laws potentially threaten to target Muslims and dissidents with searches, raids, and secret detention.

But lawyers worry that promises of "judicial review" will not amount to a real safeguard for those detained. Barker says: "It doesn't make oppressive laws any less oppressive because you involve judges somewhere in the process. And if I were a judge I would think very carefully before lending my name to an oppressive process."
