This is not a police state. read full story / add a comment

Lord O'Donnell said, "What I think is self defeating, is attacking their own staff," he told the BBC Today Programme. read full story / add a comment

Paper given at the First Annual Colonel Muammar al-Gaddafi Day School, at the Dublin Offices of the Irish Republican Socialist Party, 33 Gardiner Place, Dublin, on the 20th of October, 2012.

Following the work of Jean Baudrillard, I will claim that the method used was the age old method of seduction. read full story / add a comment |
