Dear all,
Forgive me for posting yet another thing, but I thought you might like to know about the reaction in the Middle East of the people who sent me the Photographs.

My contact, of long standing in the Middle East, (the one that sent me the photos of the Palestinians) is a Circasian young woman studying to be a pharmacist, just like any young man or woman in the west, wishing to do the best they can for their career.

No doubt there were many like her in Iraq, which was the educational Jewel in the Middle East, in spite of Saddam’s rule. Now look at it.

And you can bet you house that in Iran there are similar people studying to make a career and a better life for themselves and their eventual families just like we do in England, Europe and America. Yet there is very little outcry to the proposed bombing of Iran.

Haven’t we done enough to these innocent people yet? Must we be so complacent that we will allow the warmongers to kill thousands with their bombs and trash their houses?

It is a chilling when you weigh up the awful consequence of that stupid phrase. “We will bomb you back to the Stone Age!’ Which ever speech writer thought that one up should be allowed to profit from his work, and should be killed, or at least have his tongue removed.

My contact in the Middle East has received some encouraging messages from the recipients of the photos and requests for more, having got her email from the message forwarded. It is gratifying that some have taken this initiative independently, and I can assure you that the young lady and many of her friends are astounded and grateful for all that we do. Living under the threat of war cannot be very pleasant can it, especially since they have among them many Iraqi refugees and can see and hear about the destruction of that country and the terrible price the common people are paying every day for Bush’s war based on nothing more than a pack of lies.

Two you tube videos.

In this You Tube short video you will see American professors, senators and others talking about the overthrow of the American government by Israelis. Some are speaking out, but will it ever get into the Mainstream Media?

This video was broadcast on Israeli channel 2 TV and pictures on the front page of the newspapers in Israel. Why the silence in America and in Europe? What are the media in the West afraid of; or do they have an agenda?

Many of us are not leaders, and that goes for me too. All of you are connected in that you sent for the photographs and some have sent me very interesting things which I am very reluctant to send out to you all, simply because I don’t want to become information central. You have the opportunity to share information with others in the group of 50 that you find yourself in, so why not do it?

I’ve been invited to join forums in far away places like Pakistan and Bangladesh. There is an active group in Spain. There is a Swedish man who speaks German who is going to dig up and translate what he can about the CIA indictments in Germany. I’m looking for someone who can contact the French group petitioning the high court in France to overturn the lower court Judge’s decision not to prosecute Donald Rumsfeld for Torture under the Nuremberg Protocols but I don’t have French. I have some Spanish, a little Turkish, some Arabic and some Norwegian, (due to a romantic episode when I was seventeen LOL).

I find that with languages there is almost no penetration of news into other languages unless it is of international importance, and with the American censorship fully in place, it would seem that in Europe we are more free, but that is not true. In England there is a thing called the “D” notices which are placed on information from the government, which they might find embarrassing which means it cannot be reported in the media due to ‘national security interests’. That phrase hides a lot of wrongdoing. I suspect that it is the same across Europe, in Russia and China too. I watch news from Russia, China, India, France and Al Jazeera, all in English of course. Maybe being retired I have too much time on my hands. But the point is that the news from the BBC and CNN and the others is very different and we are being manipulated daily by it. Thank god for the Internet, if we can keep it.

You might get a message from Philip about the origin of some of the photographs, which apparently are from Iraq and not Palestine. I passed them on in good faith and apologize for misinformation.

HUNGER STRIKERS MESSAGE FROM PRAGUE
by Bruce K. Gagnon
We heard from the Czech Republic today that Jan Tamas and Jan Bednar will end their hunger strike tonight. Others in their country and around the world will then join the strike in their place. In their statement from Prague today they concluded, “We call on all the people who disagree with this plan [U.S. radar deployment] to show their disagreement, not to stay silent, and to start being active. Because ‘democracy’ is not just a word, putting a vote into a ballot box once every four years, democracy is about the active participation of every individual. ”

An article with lots of links and suggestions for Googling some interesting news.

Can’t seem to get the html link to work. Sorry.

The thought did occur to me but i checked the address in the address bar after clicking on it from uruknet and the address was the correct one.
Don’t understand it but as long as it’s working now, who cares.

Oh and congrats on the new site, it looks good.

I hope news of this spreads near and far quickly.
