Anti -war Hiroshima and Nagasaki month:Imperialist war But ;"Who Started the Blitz"?

 

      Between 1940 and 1945, sixty-one German cities with a total population of
      25 millions were destroyed or devastated in a bombing campaign initiated
      by the British government. Destruction on this scale had no other purpose
      than the indiscriminate mass murder of as many German people as possible
      quite regardless of their civilian status. It led to retaliatory bombing
      resulting in 60,000 British dead and 86,000 injured.

May Day Strike Against the War Shuts Down All U.S. West Coast Ports

Kevin Rudd share the burden of death for stealing oil you thief

I hope all you thieves who raid Afghanistan for resources get killed for being stupid. Thou shall not steal oil. Those who go around lying and pretending that the rest of the world is stupid deserve to die of ignorance.

I hope the Taliban kill you all and then fuck all your mothers.

Die you fucking thieves die.

ILWU to Shut Down West Coast Ports May 1 Demanding End to War in Iraq, Afghanistan

For Workers Strikes Against the War!

ILWU to Shut Down West Coast Ports May 1 Demanding End to War in Iraq, Afghanistan

In a major step for the U.S. labor movement, the International Longshore and Warehouse Union (ILWU) has announced that it will shut down West Coast ports on May 1, to demand an immediate end to the war and occupation in Iraq and Afghanistan and the withdrawal of U.S. troops from the Middle East. In a February 22 letter to AFL-CIO president John Sweeney, ILWU International president Robert McEllrath reported that at a recent coast-wide union meeting, "One of the resolutions adopted by caucus delegates called on longshore workers to stop work during the day shift on May 1, 2008 to express their opposition to the war in Iraq."

This is the first time in decades that an American union has decided to undertake industrial action against a U.S. war. It is doubly important that this mobilization of labor's power is to take place on May Day, the international workers day, which is not honored in the U.S. Moreover, the resolution voted by the ILWU delegates opposes not only the hugely unpopular war in Iraq, but also the war and occupation of Afghanistan (which Democratic candidates Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama and Republican John McCain all want to expand). The motion to shut down the ports also demands the withdrawal of U.S. troops from the entire region, including the oil sheikdoms of the strategically important Persian/Arab Gulf.


The “crazy” Ayatollahs themselves demand that the Iranian state should pay for “sex change” operations in Iran .

Quote: Iran authorized such operations in 1984 under a decree issued by the Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini. The government considers transsexuals to be people who are ``trapped'' in a body of the wrong sex, says Mohammad Mehdi Kariminia, a cleric who wrote a thesis on the rights and duties of transsexuals.


Poem of Defiance

 

cops are not NAZI's

howard is not hitler

anarchy does not mean anti-state

bush has a high IQ, it's you that was fooled.

some good things have come of this war

 

the taliban is my enemy, as with any religious zealot, moderate or extreme

the children scream as their bombs rain down randomly

a digger dodges bullets to cover her

 

it's that little act of kindness in the midst of hell

the hero in a situation they can't control

elected dictators, wars and lies


Bomb Sniffing Dog Dies in Afghanistan

Andy, a two year old Kelpie cross bomb detection dog, has died in
Tarin Kowt, Afghanistan, while off-lead and searching for bombs. Andy
was accidentally run over by an army vehicle, reportedly Dutch, near
Kamp Holland.

Andy is the third Australian dog to die in Afghanistan while on duty. The other dogs were Merlin and Razz.
