Subject: [news] Nepal: The Saga of Compromise and Struggle
Message-ID: <20060501231740.5215.qmail@resist.ca>

(T)he corporate media around the globe smelled Maoist activists' and pamphlets' presence in the post- April 6 protests as proofs of the Maoist infiltration. The BBC reported on April 24: "There are very real fears that Maoist rebels could well use the opportunity to fill the void and take control of the protests"...Such rumour mongering by the corporate media is definitely sufficient to send their own masters to psychotic fits of Global McCarthyism. It can also buy a compromise between the King and the anti-communist section of the Nepali middle class trained during the US' Cold War aid regime who grabbed the leadership of many moderate democratic parties after the 1990 arrangement. However, it means nothing to the local population. They know that the Maoists were the only force facilitating their politicisation to the degree that they could sustain mass strikes for so many days.

The flower vendors of the Belisario Dominguez Market in Texcoco, Mexico, who are part of the People?s Front in Defense of the Land (Atenco), are being brutally repressed by the Mexican state?s repressive forces today May 3, 2006. The flower sellers have been defending their right to sell flowers for weeks, because the local authorities had wanted to evict them from their flower stands in the market. The Texcoco market has been partially taken over by the PFP (Federal Preventive Police), and there has been constant harassment and violence against the flower vendors.

If propaganda is a weapon of war, Islam is under carpet bombing...In America, Illinois Congressman Mark Kirk commented: "I'm okay with discrimination against young Arab males from terrorist-producing states." Texas Congressman Sam Johnson bragged to a crowd of veterans that he had advised Bush to nuke Syria, and Colorado Congressman Tom Tancredo advocated wiping out Mecca to get even with Muslims for terrorist attacks.

THE main purpose of the Howard Government's new industrial relations laws is to destroy the trade union movement...As a diplomat for more than 25 years in a previous incarnation, I - and many colleagues - spent many hours arguing human rights issues against dictatorial governments, especially the Soviet Union and its acolytes. One of the things we argued for under Labor as well as Liberal governments was basic trade union rights. Now we have a situation where our Government wants Australian unions to be the kind of powerless, empty shells that unions were under those communist dictatorships.

Meet the Gran Gasoduto del Sur (the Great Gas Pipeline of the South) - the South American entry into Pipelineistan, soon to join networks from Siberia to both Europe and Asia as well as the American-inspired Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan pipeline. In terms of political will applied by the new axis of Caracas, Brasilia and Buenos Aires, the pipeline is already a done deal.

by Greg Albo and Cy Gonick; May 08, 2006 - The Bullet/Canadian Dimension 

The January 2006 Federal election results in Canada unexpectedly yielded a minority Conservative Government. The 'great moving right show' is having yet another run. In Prime Minister Stephen Harper, Canada now has the most ideologically committed neoliberal in power since Margaret Thatcher. The five priorities Harper has announced - an accountability package; a cut in the GST; a market-based childcare system; a law and order agenda centred on sentencing; and a reduction in healthcare wait times through increased delivery flexibility - all reflect these commitments.

Imagine not knowing where you spent parts of your childhood and with whom. That is the fate that I, along with thousands of other children, (some of whom speak out in this article), have suffered. We, as children, were warehoused in an asylum-like institution called MacLaren Hall, for our parents? serious criminal-level child abuse. Mac Hall was a ?child protection institution.? Mac Hall is a hidden atrocity, in the history of a modern U.S. city, and its story needs to be uncorked. I am gathering and presenting the actual testimony of survivors to the public on this matter, and am also pushing the County of L.A. to let us testify on record about this institutionalized child abuse and its entrails left within our social fabric. Survivors of Mac Hall describe horror. ?Children with burnt skin, black eyes, arms in slings and legs in casts, were familiar sights.?

In other words, Caracas would be presented as a terrorist nation, illicitly involved in trafficking bootleg uranium to the pariah Iranian regime in exchange for nuclear devices and maybe other considerations.

Indeed, their reaction brought to mind film footage of rallies in Germany during the '30s. When Rumsfeld replied to my first question about his false statements on Iraq 's WMD, the applause was automatic. "I did not lie then," he insisted.

However, by today's standards as embodied in the UN Charter, subverting with the intention of overthrowing foreign governments is a grave violation of international law..."Cold-war liberal" policymakers have advocated covert actions as a peaceful alternative to invasion, but it isn't as if military action has faded away; they work together...NGOs are also used to disrupt revolutionary or even reformist movements that might interfere with neo-liberal goals, hampering the ability of corporations to go anywhere and do anything.

Subject: [news] Bind Your Own Books
Message-ID: <20060515171712.15603.qmail@resist.ca>

Frustrated by the Middle Man (and I *mean* ?man?), I recently spent a good amount of time researching my personal book binding options. I came up with a collection of book binding techniques, each with unique attributes. The types of book bindings I found I could do myself at home were 1) Perfect Spine Bindings (Paperback Books), 2) Stab and Sew Bindings, 3) Coil Bindings, 4) Book Board & Cloth Bindings and 5) Miscellaneous Art Bindings, such as Altered Books. Most people don?t think much about book bindings, even though they regularly use books, but now that I have spent time researching this, I look at the bindings of books really differently. I see binding itself as an art form now.

(T)he Salvador Option has been invoked in Iraq. This is the campaign of terror by death squads armed and trained by the US, which attack Sunnis and Shias alike. The goal is the incitement of a real civil war and the break-up of Iraq, the original war aim of Bush's administration. The ministry of the interior in Baghdad, which is run by the CIA, directs the principal death squads.

Seventeenth Century Origins of Free Trade

During the early modern period (1500-1700), there was intense conflict among European states. Chartered trade companies acted as warrior merchants, especially the Dutch East India Company and the British East India Company. Armed trade was refined into a ruthless art by the Republic of the United Provinces of the Netherlands.

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Citing the public outcry over $3-a-gallon gasoline and  
America's heavy reliance on foreign oil, the House on Thursday voted to open  
an Alaska wildlife refuge to oil drilling, knowing the prospects for Senate  
approval were slim.

Russia's first-ever gay rights march descended into chaos and violence Saturday as Russian police, neo-fascists and Orthodox Christians clashed with demonstrators in Moscow..."It did appear (the police) were more interested in arresting members of the gay and lesbian community than those who had come there to beat them up, so that was closely watched by international observers here from human rights groups, and members of the European Parliament."

	Missile Left
Message-ID: <20060528204013.21796.qmail@resist.ca>

The Euston Manifesto was written by social democrats who support the US invasion and occupation of Iraq. They are pleading for support from other leftists and from the broader community of liberals. I predict that this manifesto will fail to rally pro-war sentiment. It's too late, and opposition to the war is by now nearly universal among the people they hope to convince. Instead, the likely effect will be the political isolation of the signers.

OTTAWA - The meetings of a secretive global think-tank would bring 100 of the world's most powerful and influential figures to Ottawa next month and make an Ottawa hotel the host of deliberations on such weighty issues as the direction of global oil markets and potential military action against Iran.

It is no wonder there was mention in the (Federal) budget for more money to build prisons and hire corrections officers. Incarceration is about to become a growth industry...This hardly seems consistent with harm reduction, or Vancouver's best interests for that matter...Instead we have a policy that will inevitably increase harm, all so (Stephen) Harper can climb a little higher in the polls and his supporters on this issue can have a little pay back.

"The May 4 incursion into Atenco, amid the quick and violent encirclement by (Federal Police) Special Forces, who were in turn backed by state police, is best described by what in military jargon is known simply as ?population control.? This kind of Operation, based on the ?Lacheroy Doctrine? ? named after Colonel Charles Lacheroy, who coined it in the Battle of Algiers after the French defeat in Dien Bien Phu ? is characteristic of an anti-subversive, psychological war; an irregular form of war...which combines intelligence work, civic action, propaganda and control of the masses within a specific territory."

Apparently one of our favorite 'secret' ruling class conclaves will be meeting in Canada, north of Ottawa, in June. 

The secretive group known as Bilderberg will hold its annual secret meeting at the posh Brook Street Resort a few miles from Ottawa, Canada, June 8-11.

Over 200 Billion controlled. That would be the motto of the Bilderberg Conference if this secret society of the ruling class was branded like MacDonalds, the other burger baron.

We are not a nation of immigrants. We might have been. We nearly

we failed. The natives are still here despite our determined drive to  
genocide. The tribes are still identifiable despite our determined

Unless the US government intends nuclear genocide against Muslims, it cannot prevail in war in the Middle East. A solution in the Middle East requires diplomacy and good will, not threats and aggression. Yet, the Bush regime refuses to even meet with Iranian leaders...By refusing to meet, talk, and negotiate, Bush is telling Iranians that they have no choice. Either they comply and do what Bush demands, or they will be attacked.
