17-11-2006 05:31 | Analysis | Anti-militarism | Migration | World

A new maximum security immigration detention complex under construction on Christmas Island, has been dubbed "Australia's Guantanamo Bay". Australia's new remote offshore detention centre will have cameras in bedrooms, electric fences and electronically controlled doors - to force centre-wide lock-downs.

Poor life of rastafarians in ultra-conservative Poland

16-11-2006 21:19 | World

Being a Rastaman in Poland is risky- there are cases of people being sentenced to two years in prison for possessing 0,2 grams of weed. If You smoke for recreational purposes, or because you can "reason" better and it helps You to think- You are in danger. If You are Rastafarian, people would treat You as a drug-addict. The prejudices are overwhelming the debate and are continuously fostered by the one-sided conservative media.

Targeting Iran?

The United States has already started a campaign of destabilization through fomenting ethnic unrest. There have already been a series of explosions and bombings targeting mostly civilians, in Khuzestan and Kurdish cities bordering Iraq, and raids on government vehicles and even civilians in Baluchestan, on the Pakistani border, by small groups which have surfaced calling for independence.

An Australian corporate director who FAILED to perform was recently relieved of his position; he nevertheless was able to walk with a $30 million severance package. This case is not uncommon, directors who fail to perform ensure they win regardless of other factors. Public companies are milk cows for these unscrupulous types.

After a rail and truck run of 58 hours through France and Germany another load of returning German nuclear waste has reached a storage hall in the northern village of Gorleben.

The Responsiveness of British Police to Islamic Fundamentalism

Lobster for Iran

The European and American reaction to Iran’s nuclear program was that of Uncle Tom’s slaveowner, Simon Legree, on learning of an escaped slave. How does this dusky dare to touch the white masters’ toys? Their empty talk of an “Iranian threat” is designed for the ignorant: Iran has never, ever attacked a European nation since the wars for Anatolia in the 5th century BC; whereas European imperialists have repeatedly occupied and controlled Iran, most recently in 1942, or by proxy in 1953, when they deposed democratically-elected Mosaddeq and returned to dominate this ancient nation.
