offsite link ?It?s Time to Scrap the Asylum System? Fri Feb 21, 2025 17:17 | Will Jones
It's been exasperating to watch as, in defiance of the wishes of Western electorates, the cultural make-up of our countries is radically transformed. It's time to scrap the asylum system, says Lionel Shriver.

Germany's 'firewall' against the AfD is set to saddle voters with the same pro-migration Leftoid Government they're desperate to get rid of. When will the Right realise the Left has them over a barrel, asks Eugyppius.

Sometimes Trump's mercantilist thinking is so radical as to be wildly, crazily brilliant, as with the Gaza Riviera plan. But on Ukraine it's letting him ? and the West ? down, says Ian Rons.

According to a new political science article highlighted in the Guardian, "Misinformation and radical-Right populism must henceforth be understood as inextricable". Apparently, everyone else always only tells the truth.

The Free Presbyterian Church was founded in 1951 in Northern Ireland. There are 17 of these congregations in North America and roughly 100 in the world.

In the last six months nationlist partys in Europe have contested many elections and have surprised many international commentators by their increased share of both left and right wing votes.
It is quite apparant that many parties with nominally "left sounding" propaganda have profited electorally from the uncertainty facing new €uropeans at this stage of "neo-liberal globalisation". They seek to find "local" solutions to problems first formulated in the 19th century which in many ways have now been superceded. This is in many ways natural, but it also poses a series of questions. The most important of which may be:
"¿are we ready to transcend the _local_ nationalist prejudice model?" ... read full story / add a comment

The BB2 programme currently screening is a tired rehash, reinforcement of the Warren Commission's findings. The programme promised to use up to date computer graphics to analyse the Zepruder film in depth, but failed to show or explain the Zepruder film in its entirety. Failing to explain the moment the president's head is hit from in front, causing a massive exit wound at the back of the Presidents' head, which effectively blows off the back of the president's scalp. ... read full story / add a comment

It has been long observed that people for some reason on their non-banking days readily absorb shite about Dangerous Places, Famous People, Sensible Saving Options, Holidays, Interesting facts, Sport results, Media, gardening and health as well looking at the “issues” including why the Greek Judicial system is being permitted to allow five people imprisoned on the flimsiest of evidence to die.

Despite being one of the most important northern elections for some time, the absence of real discussion on Indymedia about the forthcoming Assembly elections has been quite amazing. Has there been any feature pieces on the election during the last number of weeks? Appart from a couple of SF, SP and SEA postings has there been any substantial discussion or debate? Would a southern election equally fail to generate much coverage? Is there a partitionist mindset among regular Indymedia contributors?

In order to provoke a debate about the elections, likley outcomes and consequences for the peace process I have posted an interesting article by BBC correspondent Mark Davenport. While his views are often way off the mark, this piece has much merit.

When the WTO talks collapsed North American neo-libs turned their attention to the FTAA - the new, improved NAFTA.

An essay by Stan Goff featured on Counterpunch in order to publicise his new book should make interesting reading for anyone that believes that the only people that are anti-war are granola-munching do-gooders. Stan Goff served in Vietnam and by his own account was completely embedded in two successive tiers of behaviour and belief-systems. ... read full story / add a comment
