Exhibitionism - Made Easy

11-08-2006 12:16

We have these wondrous possibilities but we don't know what we want to communicate (Brecht).. The expertocracy is losing ground and legitimacy.. The simple orientation in classical authorities breaks down. One no longer credits politicians with better knowledge.. This peculiar network knowledge replaces authority.

Terror and Climate Change (opinion piece)

11-08-2006 11:30

In the midst of doom and gloom realizations that the Heathrow 'terror network' is mainly to sideline concerns about the war in Lebanon and head off possible sympathies for the main vicitms in this war, a bright note:
Just as 7/7 pushed more people onto their bikes in London, so too perhaps this farce will help put a few people off flying.

Homeless in Anata

Whilst the world's media is now distracted away from Israel-s destruction of another country, the Israeli occupation of Palestine becomes more administratively savage and swift whilst no-one is looking.

Blair Government Concocts Terror Threat - Scares British People Into Silence

11-08-2006 10:44

Yawn! Even if I wasn't actually tired, that would still be my response to the latest "terror alert" from the UK government office of Machiavellian nonsense. I mean, seriously, at what point do people start to smell a rat? Is the mass mind of the British public destined to be forever child-like and easily scared, or does the threat of the boogeyman eventually wear off? I mean, how many times can you arrest a group of patsies and claim that they were planning to attack the British public before people begin to wonder if you are just making it up?

In the weeks after Israel launched its attack on Lebanon, a team of New York-based artists, designers, and multimedia producers converged on a warehouse location in Brooklyn to create a Public Service Announcement for Electronic Lebanon.

The Pentagon's "Second 911"

11-08-2006 07:19

"Another [9/11] attack could create both a justification and an opportunity to retaliate against some known targets"

One essential feature of "defense" in the case of a second major attack on America, is "offense", according to Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff: "Homeland security is one piece of a broader strategy [which] brings the battle to the enemy." (DHS, Transcript of complete March 2005 speech of Secr. Michael Chertoff)

Britain’s airline terror plot: Questions that need to be answered

11-08-2006 05:37

The claim that American and British security forces have thwarted a terrorist plot to blow up commercial flights between Britain and the United States should not be accepted uncritically. It is impossible to determine at this point whether or not such an attack was in the offing, although the mass media have, as usual, reported the assertions of the British and American governments as indisputable fact, without bothering to ask for any specific information that would substantiate the official story.

Fake Terror Obfuscates Lebanon and Iraq Failures

10-08-2006 18:58

Totalitarian Arabic press better than UK corporate press

10-08-2006 18:49

During the Iraq war, I went to a BBC meeting, mostly to complain about the bias during the so-called glory days of Greg Dyke. Oddly enough, Iranian and even Saudi Arabian journalists who were there said, we thought our press was limited but you are into self-censorship and described how ignorant and misrepresentative news stories were. Many will know about D-notices and such as the like... But now we have a terrorist threat for which these culprits are not guilty, no evidence, Blair on holiday

Join the Dots: the 'War on Terror' and the War on Freedom

10-08-2006 17:54

This afternoon, police have announced that are searching homes and businesses across the UK in connection with a plot to blow up planes from the UK to US. This appears to have been timed to coincide with the Home Secretary's demand that we "modify some of our freedoms". Or maybe Reid's speech was timed to coincide with the police announcement. Either way, the intention is the same - to attack the working class.
