General Purposes Standing Committee #3

From London to Riga to St Petersburg, the first part of Oscar Beard's eye witness reports from the 2006 Russian G8 Summit.

Alejandro Cerezo is a Mexican human rights activist who was imprisoned on false charges of terrorism along with two brothers in 2001. He recently toured Europe to explain their case and the general human rights situation in Mexico in the run-up to the presidential elections. He talks about his case, the human rights situation and the prospects of change following the elections in Mexico.

The US Supreme Court has ruled the special Guantanamo trials illegal. An acceptable solution from the Americans is likely years away and our Government has run out of excuses not to act. Nearly 40,000 Australians have put their name to the Open Letter calling for David Hicks to be repatriated.

According to the UN's Secretary general Kofi Annan: ''The UNIFIL post was deliberately destroyed with the human beings in and around it, I am shocked and deeply distressed by the apparently deliberate targeting by Israeli Defense Forces of a U.N. Observer post in southern Lebanon."

The basic aim of the Zionist massacre, having been given the green light from the transnational elite, is to crush any resistance to the New World Order (NWO).

I have a sign which reads:"Peace is a way of travelling. It is both a destination and a path." obtained from a NSW based Phoenician, read Lebanese Australian, a seafaring trader people, whose family has been here for generations, Franklin Scarf of Earth Repair Foundation with a logo gun transforming to a tree as here. It's the kind of message we need not more military madness:

For buying a plane ticket and changing the date on his passport to get back home? What would she have imposed for stealing a passport?

'British military exports to Israel were worth £23 million last year and licences for £2 million of arms exports were granted between January and March this year.' [1]

I don't know the official military imports but it will be equally underestimated. The true figure of military imports and exports are obscured by 'Joint Ventures' between Israeli and EU companies. In every market and region Joint Ventures, often referred to as JVs, are used to avoid domestic import/export regulations and laws. They are also used to transfer technologies to foreign nations as part of geopolitical deals. When ordered by the US, Britain exported F-16 HUD technology to Israel but the use of a joint venture would have made avoided the embarrassment of that public British u-turn.
Unmanned Aerial Vehicles are the drones that Israel uses for assassinations, reconnaisance, artillery-targetting, surveillance and so on. They range from souped up Model aircraft with missiles to remotely-controlled full-size aircraft carrying large payloads. They are the 'Aerial Hunter/Killers' of the Terminator movies. It is standard modern battlefield kit for most armies, but the Israelis have a whole battle-proven fleet and lead most nations technologically.

In New Zealand as elsewhere, the threat of “terrorism” is being used to enact and enforce laws that establish the basis for sweeping attacks on civil liberties. The application of the charge of sedition to a protest stunt of this nature is a warning of the preparations that are being made to deal with the emergence of widespread resistance among ordinary working people to the accelerating onslaught on living standards, working conditions and basic rights.

Labour's ID scheme is supposedly on the rocks, but let’s not be overly comforted by this news. There are good reasons to continue to build up the pressure. In particular, passport developments in the UK Identity and Passport Service (IPS) and the European Union could result in alternative identity databases, and since the Act is on the statute books, compulsory ID could start at any future date.
