It is never possible to see the outcome of a specific struggle in advance. Even a limited struggle can have the most unexpected consequences. The passage from the various insurrections-limited and circumscribed-to revolution can never be guaranteed in advance by any method. ... read full story / add a comment

France’s state of emergency—Sarkozy threatens mass deportations By Antoine Lerougetel 12 November 2005 Use this version to print | Send this link by email | Email the author French Minister of the Interior Nicolas Sarkozy has given a clear racist coloration to the state of emergency, which was imposed at midnight on November 8. The following day, he explained to the National Assembly his instructions to the préfets (regional central government officials), whose task it is to carry out the police repression of the suburban youth revolt that has been raging in France’s council estates for over two weeks “I have told the préfets that foreigners, who are legal or illegal immigrants, who have been indicted, are to be expelled immediately from our territory, including those who have a residence permit,” Sarkozy said. “When one has the honour of possessing a residence permit, the least that you can say is that you won’t get yourself a ... read full story / add a comment

I read the text of the this speech firstly with amusement and scorn but then with growing concern followed by shock then revulsion and finally REAL fear and terror. I cannot empahise how disturbed and sick I feel now. This man is not just an idiot - He is evil incarnate and brimming with the most poisonous self-righteousness imaginable. He is not pretending - he actually believes what he is saying. Anybody who is concerned about the future of the world must read this monstrous speech - It is even worse than the infamous "Axis of Evil" State of the Union address of 2002. It does not auger well for Palestine or Iran or Syria or the human rights in the Middle East. I have encluded the entire text. Read it closely and with awe at how far gone this guy and his country really are. Bulk of text removed by editor. This speech is widely available on the internet. I have added the link ... read full story / add a comment

When forced to produce, what do we get? The same fanatic imbeciles that were paraded on the local media after the London bombings and some others armed with PVC pipe, ‘sticky-tape and chewing gum’! Compare these outcomes with real bombings in George St. Sydney, in the seventies. Most Australians are aware that, like all other nations, we have always had our share of extremist fanatics, they can be easily located in mosques, churches and synagogues around the nation. There is nothing new in this regard; the existence of social misfits does not warrant the implementation of draconian policies on a national level. ... read full story / add a comment

Earlier this year Israel's Sephardi chief rabbi recognized the community "Bnei Menashe" as one of 10 lost tribes of Israel, after examining their oral traditions, customs and religious habits, enthusiastically set about converting them wholescale. The "Bnei menashe" live in what is now India. And according to their own oral traditions were exiled from the other tribes in the 8th century BC. The Indian government is very unhappy, and after a low level diplomatic spat, Israel announced yesterday that it would stop its conversion mission. ... read full story / add a comment

The United States are governed by Opus Dei members who seized power in a coup d’etat. Cheney is involved with Haliburton, Kellog, Root and Brown (9) who intend to build the M3 double troll road through the high valley (known in Ireland as the Gabhra Valley) and this will make big money for the Irish leg of Opus Dei who also own a big slice of this same valley. ... read full story / add a comment

The red squirrel (Sciurus vulgaris) is indiginous to europe its a hibernating, rodent creature that lives in trees, collects nuts, carries rabies and TB, and hibernates. The Grey squirrel (Sciurus griseus) is indiginous to North America and was imported in the 19th century by english landowners to prettify their newly acquired scottish estates. The Grey squirrel is pretty much the same as the Red squirrel, but its hibernation period is shorter. thus when it wakes up hungry in january its fine little nose can hunt out the stores of nuts that its nieghbouring red squirrels have stashed. The result is famine for the red squirrels who have progressively died out since the introduction of the Grey to Britain (and thanks to the channel tunnel Europe). ... read full story / add a comment |
