offsite link Why is it Illegal to Burn a Koran But Fine for Pro-Hamas Protesters to Destroy a Union Flag? Mon Feb 24, 2025 15:21 | C.J. Strachan
Why is it illegal to burn a Koran but fine for pro-Hamas protesters to destroy a Union Flag? Why is one a "public order offence" and the other not? Because in two-tier Britain the one rule is that you can't upset Muslims.

Japan, after consideration and debate over a two year peiod, looks set this year to alter
it's pacifist enshrined constitution. The Japanese government while clearly more right
leaning and nationalistic than of late, clearly echoes the sentiment of a certain proportion
of the Japanese people. With the North Korean nuclear threat and the ever growing strength of China,
Japanese people could be forgiven for being somewhat insecure, However it is mainly because
of the US backing prime minister Koizumi has received that he has felt as secure in
throwing his weight about recently in south east asia. read full story / add a comment

Last October all people knew was that the FBI had physically seized an Indymedia server from a company called Rackspace in London. About 20 Indymedias were affected, some more than others. Rackspace said they had a gagging order placed on them. UK and US security forces refused to comment.

On August 1st this year, thanks to a court case they took in a federal court in Texas, the US-based Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) received newly unsealed documents relating to the seizures. Despite this, some serious questions remain. No mention of a gagging order for example.

For the rest of the story, the outstanding question and the documents themselves go to San Fransisco Indymedia at: http://www.indybay.org/news/2005/08/1757335.php read full story / add a comment
