After their hunger strike was called off yesterday afternoon, the Soetwater Refugee Leadership Committee (RLC) met this morning and both the lower and upper camps have agreed to work together to end all intimidation in the Soetwater camp.

Barack O’Bilderberg: Picking the President

11-06-2008 15:26

Recently, there has been much discussion about Barack Obama having possibly
attended the recent Bilderberg conference in Virginia. This speculation arose
when Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton sneaked off for a secretive meeting
while in Virginia. As the AP reported, "Reporters traveling with Obama sensed
something might be happening between the pair when they arrived at Dulles
International Airport after an event in Northern Virginia and Obama was not
aboard the airplane. Asked at the time about the Illinois senator's
whereabouts, [Obama spokesman Robert] Gibbs smiled and declined to comment."

Freedom Rider: Obama Obliterates Iran

11-06-2008 13:49

What Israel wants from the Americans, Israel gets - and in spades from Barack Obama. Along with Hillary Clinton and John McCain, Obama bent his knees to the breaking point in pleasing to please the annual conference of AIPAC, the American Israel Public Affairs Committee. AIPAC represents the rightwing politics of a small nation, but the fawning behavior of America's top politicians gave the impression of an Israeli empire, demanding tribute. Obama was generous with the U.S. treasury. "As president I will implement a Memorandum of Understanding that provides $30 billion in assistance to Israel over the next decade," he vowed, earning thirteen rounds of sustained applause.

Singing Up a Storm workshop, London, Saturday June 28th

11-06-2008 13:00

Can singing transform the world?
We know that the right song at the right moment can unify, inspire,
educate and galvanise.
We know that it can be brutally silenced.
We know that many voices can be heard where one might be lost.
