  • Antiwar America Unite
    12 February 2008 par (Open-Publishing)
    2 comments

    If 80% of America wants to End the War & Impeach Bush, why can’t we accomplish our goals?
    We have been unsuccesful thus far because we are not united. And why is that? Because many of the anti-war ’leaders’ are actually government plants operating in the cointelpro tradition of infiltrate, disrupt and discredit.
    Does that sound outlandish to you? Do you still think we’re a free country and our government would never use nazi tactics like that? Well it’s true.

  • Globalisation : n. 1 in the list of evils for contemporary education
    7 February 2008 par (Open-Publishing)

    I continue with another piece to expose corporate control of academia in response to the article by Angela Jancius on "Battling the Neoliberalization of University Life". In this article I highlight how globalisation attracts dangers associated with a lack of genuine educational values, quality control and regulation. I also expose some of the recent moves that new corporations have made in order to gain further control on Academia.

    It has been widely argued that globalisation is (…)

  • Resist, Rebel and Revolt!
    13 January 2008 par (Open-Publishing)

    The road is a place of discussion like the entrances to buildings, pub, bars and the rest that concerns the public. It is in the public space that a public debate can have space. It is a place where the public can confront our elite caste of politicians and union leaders, Vice Chancellors and comfortable servant-journalists. All places where the elite caste talk, control and package the news, are monopolized and not accessible by university workers.
    They are safe behind barricades of (…)

    The Köpi in Berlin is famous as one of the last remaining remnants of the city’s squat culture from the early 1990s. The building, which is in a desirable location, has now been sold to a property developer — but the residents aren’t giving up without a fight.

    The Köpi in Berlin’s Mitte district is a symbol of the city’s far-left scene.

    Grabbed By The Mortgage Hairs:
    People all over keep wondering where the American protest movement is. Why aren’t those lazy Americans up in arms over Iraq? Why aren’t they screaming about all the evil Georgie Boy is doing at the Bali conference on global Warming? Why are they using so much energy, so much oil, committing so much pollution?
    It’s really simple:
    When the corporations own 95% of your media, no one is going to hear any argument the corporations don’t want you to hear. (…)
