Quietly and without sorrow: purging the undesireable in a Scientologist world

22-06-2008 14:34 | Analysis | Repression | Social Struggles | World

The Church of Scientology is an international cult founded by science fiction writer L Ron Hubbard. Hubbard was an authoritarian with delusions of power, who sought to have his movement conquer the world and have his teachings form the basis of the new society.

But every utopia has its dissidents, every Eden its snake. And Hubbard was ready for them.

Bomb Iran? What's to Stop Us?

22-06-2008 00:51 | Anti-militarism | World

Just because such an attack is insane, and the consequences of such an attack can have catastrophic repercussions not only on Iran, but the world, is no reason to think that the numbskulls in Washington and Tel Aviv won't do it.
In classic literature, in tragedy, there is a quality which characterizes the doomed hero (or heroine), and that is the concept of hubris.

Hubris is defined as "overweening pride, self-confidence or arrogance, often resulting in fatal retribution."

The kind of thinking by American and Israeli politicians which concludes in the sure and certain belief that there will be no real consequences of such an attack on Iran is hubris to the point of complete madness.

Application of Islamic Shari'a in US Courts

21-06-2008 13:37 | Education | World

In 2004 a crash of Blackwater Flight 61 occurred in the rugged mountains of central Afghanistan, killing three soldiers and three-man crew. The widows of the soldiers sued Presidential Airways, Blackwater’s sister company, which was under contract with the U.S. military to fly cargo and personnel around Afghanistan.

Lawyers for the company has asked a federal court to decide the case using provisions from the Islamic Shari’a, not the U.S. laws. They argue that the Shari’a “does not hold a company responsible for the actions of employees performed within the course of their work.”

EU lifts sanctions on Cuba - "Beans & Phones"

20-06-2008 00:44 | Analysis | Globalisation | World

Now read that carefully before you wet your underwear. The EU has decided to lift sanctions on Cuba despite opposition by the USA, which will now continue as the only state sanctioning Cuba. As the BBC European editor Mark Marsdell put it very pithily on his blog "The foreign ministers' dinner finished about half an hour ago. They've decided to lift sanctions against Cuba". Meanwhile the Spanish language press has produced pages and pages of this and that spinning the decision any which way just in case tomorrow's first editions don't have a decent terror or escaped human story.
