Incriminating documents looted in East Timor

13-06-2006 23:31

Indonesian military’s scorched earth preparations
Downer’s office flatly denied the CAVR report, falsely claiming that the Australian government supported the 1999 act of self-determination. In fact, as the CAVR report partly documents, the record shows that in December 1998, Howard urged the Indonesian president, B.J. Habibie, to delay an autonomy vote for up to 10 years. Once the 1999 referendum date was fixed, Howard and Downer were fully aware of the Indonesian military’s scorched earth preparations and cynically prepared to take advantage of the atrocities to intervene militarily. Their goal was not humanitarian assistance to the targets of the violence but securing Australia’s strategic interests, particularly in the disputed Timor Sea.

Racism and Imperial Nostalgia at the BBC: an open letter to Andrew Marr

13-06-2006 16:57

 http://leninology.blogspot.com/2006/06/wanted-loyal-natives-to-discuss-empire.html

 http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/factual/starttheweek.shtml

PLEASE FORWARD WIDELY TO INTERESTED PARTIES

Open Letter to Andrew Marr, Presenter, Start the Week on Radio 4, the BBC

Dear Andrew,

This is an open letter that I am going to ask the people--many of whom are
prominent academics-- I have copied in to circulate as widely as possible,
to draw the attention of people to the egregious manner in which you dealt
with the follow-up this morning's show on 'The Legacy of Empire'. I am
appalled and shocked at your biased introduction to the evening phone-in.
You use dismissive words like 'blarney', 'aggressive', and 'too much heat'
to describe an impassioned discussion of a painful and traumatic legacy
that didn't fit the genteel upper-class British converation over 'tea and
cucumber sandwiches'model. This then set the tenor for the phone-in that
followed.

BNP scumbag spotted on Muslim demo.

12-06-2006 21:16

Scowling
London BNP activist Rob Gertner was spotted filming and snapping the muslim demo outside Scotland Yard on SUnday. His footage is possibly for the BNPs website or crap election broadcasts?
Or Redwatch?
Or is he just another Nazi loser who has been recruited by the intelligence services?
