Harassment still occurs though on all airlines. Anyone convicted of sexual harassment should be banned from flying for at least 5 years. pat c ... read full story / add a comment

Bush confesses his criminality and hopes that his ‘act’ of contrition will save him from the dock. He has finally acknowledged that the invasion (and occupation) of Iraq was/is based on incorrect information (lies). Supporters and citizens who desperately hope that Bush’s admission demonstrates his contrition had their hopes dashed against the hard reality of further sordid deeds – the illegal 'bugging' and monitoring of US citizen’s private communications by the NSA. [Would anyone seriously expect this criminal administration to change character?] Bush’s admission is a political gesture, a strategic manoeuvre in response to increasing international disapproval of the dishonesty of his regime. ... read full story / add a comment

A well-travelled student at University of Massachusetts Dartmouth was interrogated by agents of the Department of Homeland Security in October because he had ordered a copy of Mao Tse-Tung's book on Communism, The Little Red Book, while researching a paper on totalitarianism. One of the student's lecturers is considering cancelling a course on terrorism planned for next semester, because it might put his students at risk.

Bush has declared that it’s acceptable to illegally bug US citizens for a ‘good cause’; Cheney opposed legislation banning the use of torture by US agencies! Rumsfeld denounces claims that Iraq invasion is related to Oil appropriation; US Congress attacks Bush or rather those responsible for the debacle that is the Bush Presidency. But the news of the week is the residents of Sydney contracting the disease that is John Winston Howard (cowardice). ... read full story / add a comment

The inherent qualities of anarchism are egalitarian, democratic and cooperative relations. These qualities enable it to ‘roam’ at will within any cultural dynamic and to be seen or appreciated as compatible with whatever it encounters. However, its inherent qualities are not realised until after the host has been affected/‘equalised’ by constant dilution/dispersal of ‘congested’ power. The cuckoo’s egg becomes the fully developed bird of a completely different genus to that which nurtured it. ... read full story / add a comment

There comes a stage in the progress of a people through their misery when not even our words may offer proper description or testimony to their suffering or optimism. I can not underestimate my respect and admiration for the writer known as "Salam Pax". I first read his posts on http://www.almuajaha.com which was the name used by 7 Iraqi students for their collective which proposed in 2003 one week after the US invasion to start "baghdad indymedia". This was the mission statement :- "For decades almost all governments in the world, including our own, abused and terribly ignored the basic humanity of the Iraqi people. Al-Muajaha aims to provide an open forum for all Iraqis to freely debate current issues, and in so doing educate themselves and the world." ... read full story / add a comment
