this morning the italian police started raiding Nestle warehouses throughout italy seizing a number of product ranges amounting to 30 million litres of treated dairy products marketed to nursing mothers.

Nestle, known to some as the "famine corporation" though Swiss owned, takes over 85% of its profits from sales of "food" in other countries. The corporation has been long been directly linked to famine, ironically considering it sells sweeties. ... read full story / add a comment

I had to write a critical reflection paper this week for my Social and Cultural Dimensions of Health class, and the topic this week is female genital surgeries. I'm only allowed to write 2 pages double spaced, which is incredibly frustrating because I have way more to say on the subject and I had to cut out a lot. So I'm posting a longer version of my paper here: ... read full story / add a comment

editor's note: the following disscusion was seperated from the original article to which it was a response when indymedia stole the jam jar and re-plagiarized the story into a front page feature
The following is an article from the October edition of the Socialist (newspaper of the Socialist Party) on Irish Ferries. If you read this article and then read the above article by the WSM you will clearly see that the WSM article has been plagiarised from the Socialist!

Activists asserted their democratic right to protest Rumsfeld’s visit outside the heavily guarded Adelaide Town Hall regardless of Dr. Bob Such granting ‘permission’ to protest outside South Australia’s Parliament House. Let’s not miss a ‘subtle’ point; the right to protest is fundamental to a democratic society, let that right act as a barometer in any society that purports to uphold democratic values. ... read full story / add a comment

(c) Irish Independent Nov 17th 2005, Tom Brady (security editor who never got off his arse to investigate prisoners being "rendered" at Shannon) Freedom of speech crackdown THE law is to be changed to deter radicals making inflammatory remarks that could put Ireland's security at risk. The planned move was disclosed yesterday by Defence Minister Willie O'Dea who said the Government could not guarantee that other threats would not be issued against Ireland by fundamentalists prepared to abuse the freedom of speech. But it was proposed to toughen existing legislation to act as a deterrent against a repeat of the comments made by Islamic lawyer Anjem Choudary in Trinity College in Dublin last week. Mr O'Dea said he had received huge public reaction against the remarks which suggested Ireland could be attacked by international terror groups because US war planes were allowed to refuel in Shannon.

US Secretary of Defence, Zionist and neo-con extraordinaire, Donald Rumsfeld, will visit Adelaide (of all places) to hold discussions with servile Australian politicians regarding Australia’s continuing involvement with the pariah nation of the world, the USA. Rumsfeld’s visit is timely, it coincides with nationwide dissent and protest against IR and draconian anti-terrorist laws recently implemented by leading US lackey and coward extraordinaire, John Howard. ... read full story / add a comment

Latest twist in the killing of De Menezes on July 22 in london at Kennington tube station. The Daily Telegraph has revealed that the police who killed Jean Charles de Menezes used _illegal_ "dum dum" bullets. ["Modern hollow point bullets are descendants of the expanding "dum dum" ammunition created by the British in an arsenal of the same name near Calcutta, in India, at the end of the 19th century and outlawed under the Hague Declaration of 1899. The bullets, which expand and splinter on impact, were available to officers taking part in Operation Kratos, the national police drive against suspected suicide bombers which has been described as a "shoot to kill" policy."] ... read full story / add a comment
