Interesting stuff in today's Sindo and elsewhere. "Anti-Fascist" youths are reported to have claimed responsibility for be-heading a statue of the IRA Chief of staff and Nazi collaborator Sean Russell in a Dublin park. A statement from the (unamed)group describes him as a fanatic who looked to Hitler for support, and suggests that the nazis expected republicans to hand over Jews in a united Ireland established with German support. Anyone know who carried out the action? AFA? read full story / add a comment

Why did great civilisations of the past collapse, and how likely is it that ours will, too? University of California at Los Angeles geography professor and Pulitzer Prize winner Jared Diamond begins his 575-page book with a response to this query by quoting Percy Bysshe Shelley's haunting poem on the faded glories of an Egyptian pharaoh, 'Ozymandias': And on the pedestal these words appear: "My name is Ozymandias, king of kings: Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!" Nothing beside remains. Round the decay Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare The lone and level sands stretch far away. read full story / add a comment

As you know putting a "word" through "goo" is how most people enter the cybernetic matrix. Thanks to the fine minds of CERN we have had the internet for years now, and millions oh yes millions of people use it everyday. Most just use it a little bit. Many people upload thier photos, or download music, many more pay their mortgage and food bills by adding to the code. Some people abuse it, that really has to be said. Very few people understand it. I'd wager a guess that less than 1000 people on this planet understand it. But i'd probably be wrong. read full story / add a comment

:2005 -1984 =21 you get the key to the door now. Lord Falconer, the minister in charge of freedom of information, emphasises that the act is not solely for the media and researchers to prise secrets out of Downing Street but will give ordinary members of the public a greater chance to get information from the public sector. But many are sceptical that officials' secretive habits, and this government's reliance on spin and control, will melt away. Whitehall has taken a long time to get to this position. A freedom of information act was first promised by Labour in 1974, but nothing happened. The Blair government eventually passed the act in 2000, then delayed its introduction for five years. More than 50 other countries have passed such legislation before now, the first being Sweden in 1766. read full story / add a comment

The AP has finally come out with a story about the funding behind the Orange Revolution which is under way in Ukraine (via Dominon). As is to be expected, it's the same folks who were busy funding democracy movements in Venezuela. In this case a lot of the money was routed through the Eurasia Foundation, the Centre for Political and Legal Reforms, the International Republican Institute, many NED funded organizations such as American Center for International Labor Solidarity, Center for International Private Enterprise, the Democratic Initiatives Foundation, the Europe XXI Foundation, the Open Society Foundation - Ukraine, the National Democartic Institute For International Affairs, the Ukrainian Legal Foundation, the Ukrainian Center for Economic and Political Research (Razumkov Center), and others.... read full story / add a comment

Guerrilla’ is a Spanish word meaning ‘little war’. Small nations or revolutionary bodies can only defeat the occupying forces, who are superior in human resources and arms, as well as economic and material resources, by means of guerrilla warfare. Guerrilla warfare has been employed to overthrow colonialism, to launch civil wars, and by Communist and Western powers in the Cold War. read full story / add a comment

The people of the free world have not forgotten half of America’s population oppose the ultra-right-wing regime of Bush. A similar situation occurred in Nazi Germany with the rise of another madman to power. The population became polarised; however, the half with the conscience was swept along with the fanatics to the ruin of all. Failure to act against the regime in the early stages resulted in a greater calamity for the entire nation. Let it not happen again! read full story / add a comment |
