Bay of Pigs in Gaza

15-03-2008 16:34

A rather interesting conclusion, but I'm sure 'pressure' was applied on this reporter. This is a scandal of monumental proportions, which proves that the perception 'we' have of the conflict is exactly the reverse.

Yet, the media remains silent ...

Defending the Wild

15-03-2008 15:55

To defend the wild is no small thing, because it is the Earth that is being defended. The Earth is wild and that is more important than we are. When groups like Sea Shepherd or EarthFirst! defend the wild, they are condemned as ‘violent’ and ‘extreme’, but they are working to continue the wild, the life that exists independently of us. The wild Earth that does not need us, does not know us, but is threatened by us. The wild Earth needs no defence but it needs more defenders.

MoD Tells Teachers to Push Revisionist History of Iraq war

15-03-2008 14:08

It will be interesting to see how this plays out.

There are some, in many governments, who fervently believe that pro-military indoctrination of their countries' children cannot ever start too young.

If you ever go to any US military bases' "open house", where there is a combination of military and carnival-type exhibits, watch carefully for the very articulate, "warm-looking" soldiers, chosen expressly for their comfort level with kids, and how they present the guns and weapons to children, particularly the little boys.

The kids are, as kids naturally are, brimming with curiosity, and these soldiers have an opportunity to make a big impression on these children.

What is never discussed is that these instruments, guns, bombs, etc., are engineered to kill and maim with maximum, deadly effect.

They're never told of the costs of war for civilian non-combatants.

War is not "fun": it is simply a government's extension of its foreign policy, period, end of discussion.

What this article teaches us is that governments to order schools to alter history, and that prior to 1966, there was no law to prevent it in Great Britain.

Presumably, the United States (aka Britain-Lite) follows the same patterns, which we know because the school textbooks still sell the claim that Lee Oswald acted alone in the assassination of John F. Kennedy even though that claim has long been discredited.

It is for this reason, and especially in light of the lies that led to war in Iraq, that nothing we have ever been taught in the state-sponsored schools can be trusted. Nothing. Not one bit of it.

History is a joke played by the victors on the vanquished before an audience too afraid to laugh.

Furious parents occupy the lobby of venture capitalist firm.

14-03-2008 21:56

Its very well handing out leaflets in the rain...
On Wednesday parents from Pimlico School decided that petitioning and letter writing just was not getting them anywhere. For months they have been campaigning against the take over of their school by Venture Capitalist firm John Nash. Their views have been ignored by Westiminster council so they decided to occupy the offices of Mr Nash instead. The lone security guard made a pretty halfhearted attempt at trying to remove them and their banner from the building. An unbelievably smarmy executive from the firm by the name of David Johnson came out and tried to reason with the protesters with some of the weakest arguments in the history of debate. Having achieved nothing other than making a tit of himself on camera he scuttled back to hide in his office. At this point one of the neighbours who was unconnected to the firm or indeed the building tried to intervene by attacking a woman by the door and then my camera. Fortunately for him there was no damage thus negating the need to take retaliatory action on his front teeth. Then the cops showed up and were informed by the protesters that this was a simple case of trespass and therefore a civil matter. After consulting the regular occupants of the office the Police listened to the protesters concerns and then left them to it. Mr Nash must have wisely decided that getting parents from the school he is trying to acquire arrested was a PR disaster too far. So a successful occupation, no arrests and serious cause for concern for an office located on the ground floor of number 25 Buckingham Gate….oops.
