Friends of the Earth respond to military greenwashing of US-Aust joint war games

Submitted by kimk on Fri, 10/12/2010 - 11:28am

Friends of the Earth Brisbane have released our response on the AECOM Public Environment Report for Excercise Talisman Sabre 2011, the U.S.-Australian joint war games. TS11 is the biggest military operation outside of war and takes place in several places in Australia, including the Shoalwater Bay area in QLD, the Great Barrier Reef and the Coral Sea. The PER has no legal standing and is not an EIS. It is an elaborate greenwashing excercise for a toxic, dangerous and murderous industry: militarism.

Swedish king a liability ?

Submitted by huxwell on Thu, 09/12/2010 - 9:19am

I wonder how the King of Sweden fares these days.
The news about him was released in the same week, as the Swedish accusations against Julian Assange :

The King of Sweden, besides other European and global functions, is the guy who hands over the nobel prize for economics and finance...but only to the utmost vetted contenders, who are NOT rattling the cage about the DEBT FINANCE system. It is separate from the other nobel prizes.

Wikileaks, West Papua and commemorating the 1854 Eureka rebellion at Ballarat

Submitted by takver on Wed, 08/12/2010 - 10:45pm

The persecution of Julian Assange and wikileaks for publishing diplomatic cables, and information on the Afghanistan and Iraq wars is just the latest in government suppression of freedom of speech and human rights and liberties, which past generations have fought for including the men and women of the Eureka rebellion in Ballarat in 1854. I have just returned from Ballarat where I was part of the commemoration of the Eureka Rebellion in 1854 - the 156th anniversary. The struggle for democratic rights and liberties and against corrupt government continues in 2010.

Join the Palestine Solidarity Project in Beit Ommar, Palestine, and become part of the growing international movement to support Palestinian non-violent resistance. We are in need of volunteers to join us this winter and spring as we struggle to end the Israeli occupation in all its forms and to promote justice and self-determination for the Palestinian people. We have a wide range of programs lined up for the next few months, and are in need of dedicated, enthusiastic volunteers to help make our goals a reality.
