World Youth Day , is this just for followers of the so called christian faith????

edward james — Tue, 15 Jul 2008 03:07:46 +0000

What a surprise ! It is no secret that Pope Benedict was wearing a brown shirt in Europe during the run up to world war two. The unholy trinity of Pope Pell and Premier could not see guarding the War Memorial in Hyde Park as a high priority? Nice one Police Minister David Campbell. You long time ex Wollongong hump and Labor party member !!!

Catholics, what is this?

World Youth Day ...run by the Vatican.

Lots of fuss, lots of cops roaming around while the pilgrims visit.

Now, the main attraction. Joseph Ratzinger (aka 'The Pope').

This man, he wears a funny hat. But look what he's carrying. It's a dead person on a cross. Everywhere they all go, they carry a cross. It's like a cult of death.

This is what the holiest man on earth is? He who teach us that we are all born as/in sin.

A man who tells us we will go to a place called hell for eternity?

Kurdistan is bubbling with oil

Fri, 11 Jul 2008 12:08:13 +0000

The Americans did well to liberate the Kurds from Saddams oppressive regime in Iraq now the Kurds are willing to return the favour with oil mining leases granted to American companies, there is so much oil in Kurdistan that it bubbles out of the landscape. However Iran may be against this deal between the Kurds & America, note recent missile firing which supposably can reach Israel in the same way as Saddams regime previously done with its missile firing capabilities against Israel.

"Die like a dog" author: Relevant Commonwealth Legislation

Fri, 11 Jul 2008 05:08:26 +0000

I have been sitting here in my Canberra office in Russell today
watching the goings on at this website since things have been quiet
around here. I have noticed someone continually posting highly
offensive material about the SAS soldier who died in Afghanistan.

I draw that person's attention to this Commonwealth statute.

The universal pension system was smashed, privatised, individualised into a 2 Caste system,creating a labour aristocracy.

Thu, 10 Jul 2008 02:30:15 +0000

With an amerikkkan style labour aristocracy having little personalised
capitalist superannuation funds. a system deliberately set up mostly by
Labor in order to tie the better off working people into supporting the
capitalist system .In which they now have a perceived future material
interest. As long as imperialism functions well and profits rolled in
super seemed assured.

But.

Get off Rudd and get some perspective

Wed, 09 Jul 2008 04:43:50 +0000

"The Labor Government stands behind motorists and consumers, the Liberal Opposition is standing behind the major oil companies." Kevin Rudd

Rudd's popularity is plummeting mainly due to the rising cost of fuel, yet he's still streaks ahead of his opposing leader, Liberal's Brendan Nelson. If the Coalition's best attack on the PM's first year in office relies on rising fuel prices, Rudd should rest easy.

War criminal Bush going to Olympics. Should people cheer?

Sun, 06 Jul 2008 04:59:37 +0000

or is it a great chance for the worlds athletes and stadium audience to turn their backs in contempt for the war criminal .Now that would be an effective non-violent peoples protest on a world scale!

Bush tries to end his military game of chicken over “enriched uranium” with Iran.even tells Israel back off.

Sat, 05 Jul 2008 01:21:00 +0000

The sitting duck aircraft carrier, floating coffin bluff fails.

Its all too late. The game was being playedout in propaganda, on the surface .as a desperate race against time in stopping the Iranians from getting nukes.

Biofuels from the third world -Cars eat people! - Empty bellies and soil depletion on a world scale.

Thomas Moore once pointed out that people were being thrown off the land by the wool producing industry -that "sheep eat people" in England. Land and people clearance for wool production. Then,at a later time in history sheep also ate many Aboriginal, first nation peoples ,in Australia on a continental scale.

Gosford Police are now being embarrassed by the attempt at a white wash

edward james — Mon, 30 Jun 2008 21:13:54 +0000

The published and freely available statutory declarations signed by staff and witnessed are entitled to be relied on as truthful by any reader. When Gosford Police became involved it was perceived by some as an attempt by the Labor Party to wash dirty political laundry. The interference of police in what should have remained a civil matter until a court ruled on the veracity of the Statutory declarations, was a an attempt by politicians to use the police as a political tool. That move is starting to look pretty stupid.

when syd indymedia goes off air?

Thu, 26 Jun 2008 13:12:10 +0000

I'm glad to see the site back up!

But the message on the site while it was off air was not very explanitory?

Were funds the problem?

If the site is down for some reason can we have a clear mesaage about why, and how we can help etc?

i also wonder why there is now no separate email list for syd imc?
(rather than this forum)..because if the site is down the problems
could be discussed on a separate email list?

thanks
