It appears that Labor is promoting it but sinister hoWARd is behind the illusion and this is so Lib/Lab can sustain the promotion of war, WAR CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY, tyranny and terrorism as a good thing.

The Neo-Conservatives and the Policies of Constructive Chaos

17-08-2006 13:28 | Lebanon War 2006 | Anti-militarism | World

For the theoreticians of constructive chaos, blood must be shed to bring about a new order in that region rich in hydrocarbons. By plunging the masses into chaos, the elites attempt to assure their stability. In violence, the imperial interests of the US and Israel merge.

Countryside Properties- Mayfield...and a field in May 2004...

Countryside Properties have gone into advertising overdrive with its new housing development at the former Mayfield rugby club in Castleton.

After being criticised for illegal flyposting earlier this year:

http://www.indymedia.org.uk/en/regions/manchester/2006/03/336159.html

Countryside Properties have now paid Rochdale Council for road signs and half page colour advertisements in the Council's newspaper "Local matters" delivered to every home in the Borough.

There has also been a huge advertising spend by Countryside Properties with the Guardian Media Group in their Homesearch sections of the Rochdale Observer, Manchester Evening News and TV station Channel M.

It is a pity that Countryside Properties' budget doesn't cover the destruction of Woodlands in the Spodden Valley.

Mon 14th Aug: Today Beirut began to return to life. Shops are opening and the roads are jammed with traffic. For the first time since I have been here people are obeying the traffic lights.

South Beirut and Palistinian Refugee Camp Bombed - Sun 13th Aug

16-08-2006 14:36 | Lebanon War 2006 | Anti-militarism | World

At around 2.30 the Israelis start pounding the southern suburbs of Beirut again. One of those bunker buster bombs shakes the windows of our accommodation. We are miles away. We get a lift into the south of the city. Hizbollah stop our car as we approach the area around an hour after the strike. They have put a large cordon around the areas that are being hit or expected to be. They give us directions to a vantage point high above the city where we can view the proceedings from a safe distance.

The US media and the London terror scare

16-08-2006 09:11 | Repression | Terror War | World

Since August 10, when British authorities arrested two dozen individuals in connection with an alleged plot to blow up a number of airplanes over the Atlantic Ocean, the American mass media has worked ceaselessly to create a climate of fear.
For the first several days after the news of the alleged plot broke, American news programs were virtually unwatchable. The lurid logos and wild, unsubstantiated allegations made a mockery of claims that the networks and cable channels are in the business of “news-gathering.”

Saving Iceland

The Icelandic highlands are the last great expanse of true wilderness left in Western Europe. Now the country's hydroelectric potential has been targeted by multinational corporations, who intend to establish large-scale heavy industry in these hitherto pristine hinterlands. Join the protest camp.

August 16, 2006: "This will be marked as a tragic day for land rights in Australia," said Senator Rachel Siewert today.

We take a look at a new recently established group called Christians United for Israel - an evangelical organization that believes supporting expansionist policies of the Israeli government is: "a biblical imperative."
