CONFUSIN’ MY MIND – IT’S A SIGN OF THE TIMES
Is life all just a game – has the world gone insane?
Some folks think i’m mad cause i refuse to be sad
I refuse to accapt that this life is a lie...
I refuse to accept that this life is just a lie
That children don’t matter – ain’t there no family ties?
United we stand and divided we fall
We must all stand together – no more backs to the wall

The media coverage of the G20 protests has been systematically biased, writes Musab Younis - ignoring the violent policing, the tactic of open-air imprisonment of demonstrators, and the real chronology of events. “It has taken remarkable obedience by the press,” writes Musab, “to refuse to ask some simple and obvious questions.”

With this is mind, it's a time of learning from the past and from the G20 protests.

07-04-2009 09:56 | Analysis | Repression | World

For four month now, the legal & media spectacle titled "The Tarnac affair" won't come to an end. Was Julien Coupat to come out of prison for Christmas? For New Year's Eve then? Or would Friday the 13th be his lucky day? No. In the end 'we' will keep him a bit longer in jail, locked into his new role as 'leader of an invisible cell'.
