A question often debated by activists is whether or not to ‘mask up’. It seems the main argument against ‘masking up’ is accountability. People feel that they have a right to protest and thus have nothing to hide.

Everyone knows rotten.com, and how the glibly show off p[ictures of dead people and their unfortunate endings. I personally view such sites as on par with the likes of the Darwqin awards; a pervers need to humilate those deemed as losers, and, if needs be, their families. They are ' lahh-oo-zers', and such glib arrogance is indicative of the culture of the United States. But look, their superiority looks set to be challenged. Click on the link and see why any secondary school teacher wouldf give these tits an 'f' for their entry on Slobodan Milosevic. Oh, and the below is the text of an e mail I sent them. ... read full story / add a comment

The EU-US summit (June 25-26, Dromoland Castle, Ireland) may result in a de facto launch of free trade negotiations between the EU and the US. Little-known but influential bodies like the Transatlantic Policy Network and the Transatlantic Business Dialogue are campaigning behind the scenes for a “barrier-free Transatlantic marketplace”. TABD co-chairs Niall Fitzgerald (Chairman Unilever) and Douglas Daft (Chairman Coca-Cola) will attend the EU-US summit to present their demands. ... read full story / add a comment |
