  • In further case of censorship, the BBC deny Palestine’s right to exist
    28 May 2011 par (Open-Publishing)

    It seems that the Mic Righteous controversy, in which the BBC censored the words ‘Free Palestine’ from his freestyle on 1Xtra radio, has opened a can of worms the BBC cannot ignore for much longer. Just one day after they released an official response to the hundreds of complaints over the drowning out of the term ‘Free Palestine’, a further case of censorship has emerged. On the very same radio segment, ‘Fire in the Booth’ with DJ Charlie Sloth, just a couple of months after the Mic (…)

  • BUCKINGHAM PALACE PROTEST AGAINST WAR PRESIDENT OBAMA
    24 May 2011 par (Open-Publishing)

    Without a trace of irony, President Barack Obama — the commander-in-chief of an empire which straddles the world, who has more than doubled the troops in Afghanistan, who continues to occupy Iraq, who has dramatically escalated a deadly drone war in Pakistan and who is currently bombing Libya — spoke last week of the "moral force of non-violence" and said he "will not tolerate aggression across borders". (SEE Choking on the Hypocrisy of Obama’s Hollow Platitudes: (…)

    STOP THE OBAMA WARS : TUESDAY 24 MAY 5.30PM BUCKINGHAM PALACE LONDON SW1A 1AA Called by Stop the War and CND
    President Obama is visiting Britain next week. It is important he and the world understand that the wars in Afghanistan and Libya are deeply unpopular here.
    Far from bringing an end to George Bush’s wars, President Obama has presided over attacks on Yemen, Pakistan, Somalia and Libya, as well as the continuing occupations in Iraq and Afghanistan. He is (…)

  • UK Royal wedding, Royal & UK censorship & horrendous war crimes of Churchill and Queen Victoria
    2 May 2011 par (Open-Publishing)
    2 comments

    An estimated 2 billion people watched the wedding of Kate and William in London and we all wish the best for the happy couple. However the TV coverage permitted by the Royal Family involved massive censorship of the Australian ABC and indeed all other media. The Royal Family and the British Establishment survive through censorship, lies (of commission and omission) and slies (spin-based untruths) and this latest British censorship demands exposure of Britain’s horrendous past and continuing (…)

  • (video) London vigil to pay respect to Vittorio Arrigoni (WARNING IMAGES OF WAR WITHIN)
    20 April 2011 par (Open-Publishing)

    Vittorio Arrigoni, author of ’GAZA stay Human’.
    Vittorio Arrigoni’s middle name was Utopia, yet he chose to spend most of the past three years in the hell of Gaza, acting as a human shield for Palestinian fishermen harassed by the Israeli navy and reporting to a worldwide audience.
    His "Guerrilla Radio" blog about life in Gaza was required reading among radical circles in Italy and he published passionate newspaper commentaries about the plight of the Palestinian people and the "crimes" (…)

  • STOP THE BOMBING OF LIBYA NOW: PROTEST 19 APRIL

    Britain France and the US have now come clean. The article signed
    by Cameron, Sarkozy and Obama, and published today in Washington,
    Paris and London, makes clear the war on Libya is not about
    protecting civilians but about regime change. Having ignored
    peace moves from the African Union, NATO is now set on escalating
    the bombing.
    The humanitarian spin they are putting on the operation is
    exposed by the fact that the Western governments continue to
    support brutal (…)

    The crack troops have been racing against time to pinpoint the Libyan Army’s most potent strategic weapon, the Russian-made SAM 5 missile (…)

    STOP THE BOMBING NOW SUNDAY 20 MARCH 3-4PM DOWNING ST, WHITEHALL, LONDON
    Britain and the USA have bombed Libya with more than one hundred Tomahawk cruise missiles. These are not precision guided weapons but weapons of mass destruction that will create many civilian casualties in Libya.
    The United Nations resolution authorising a no-fly zone begins as it will continue, with a full-scale military attack on the country.
    Stop the War condemns this barbarous attack which will result, not in (…)
