Dahr Jamail, Truthout: "If someone broke into your house, pinned down your loved ones and began pouring poison down their throats, would you stop that person? What if someone poured crude oil all over your crops and livestock? Wouldn't you try to stop them from doing it? Pointed questions like these come from a man named Derrick Jensen. They provide a lens through which to view the havoc that corporate capitalism is wreaking on our planet. They are meant to jolt us into the awareness that we are watching life on earth annihilated. They are also meant to challenge us into thinking about what form our resistance to this should take."

The British, of course, having come in flying the St George's flag on their vehicles (the Crusaders' flag) slithered out of Basra city, under cover of darkness, to hunker down at the fortified airport, some distance outside the town, in September 2007, much as US units did from other parts of Iraq, last week, fleeing in the night, over the border to Kuwait.

Ideology and Ideologues

By James Keye

A Teenage Activist: "Peace is Not Something You Wish For"

Elora Malama, A Teenage Activist... This Girl's Soapbox: Truthout is publishing a daily blog by 16-year-old high-school student Elora Malama, who is in Japan covering the annual dolphin slaughter. Each year the sleepy little town of Taiji becomes home to a horrific secret: Dolphins are rounded up and those not chosen for a life of captivity are brutally slaughtered and their mercury laden meat sold to the public. The issue became the subject of the Academy Award winning documentary, The Cove. Moved by the film and her love of the oceans and dolphins, Elora decided to accompany her father (Scott West of Sea Shepherd Conservation Society) to Japan to bear witness to this practice and document it on her blog, A Teenage Activist...This Girl's Soapbox.

?Die Arbeitsgemeinschaft Soziales Berlin hatte für gestern ab 17 Uhr zu einer Tafel der Habenichtse auf dem Platz des 18. März vor dem Brandenburger Tor aufgerufen. Gekommen sind vor allem diejenigen, die sich schon seit Jahren gegen die von RotGrün eingeführte moderne Sklaverei durch Hartz IV und der Repression durch die Agenda 2010 engagieren. Teils weil sie selber betroffen sind, teils weil sie als mündige BürgerInnen die elementarsten Grund- und Menschenrechte in der BRD mehr und mehr mit Füßen getreten sehen. Der Aufhänger für die gestrige Tafel der Habenichtse, Überflüssigen und TagelöhnerInnen war die von Christian Wulff (in den Medien gerne als Schwiegermamas Liebling bezeichnet und spektakulär in der BRD.Polit-Hierarchie aufgestiegen), als aktuellem Bundespräsidenten veranstaltete sogenannte Tafel der Demokratie??
