To get the justice done, the splintered, shard-like "left" needs to coalesce

Submitted by Gerry Georgatos on Fri, 09/03/2012 - 11:32pm

The compassionate left wing screams for social justice and argues for our governments and society's institutions to have a heart and help people from the bottom end up, and to desist with the proposition that they can achieve for the downtrodden by working from the top end of town and down.

The bona fide left wing is fractious and forever splintering and yet it calls out for groundswells of people power to coalesce in mass social movements which will give rise to cultural waves.

Japanese whaling fleet abandons further hunting this season

Sea Shepherd are reporting that the Japanese whaling fleet is heading home, with the season coming to an end with weather starting to worsen. Sea Shepherd have again been effective in reducing the lethal efficiency of the illegal Japanese commercial whaling operation that uses a scientific loophole in the International Whaling Commission that allows them to slaughter whales for 'research' and sell the meat as part of their commercial operation.

UK government conspiracy to cover up paedophilia / UK cabinet admits to have blocked lawsuit against Pope / Raelians organise protests worldwide in front of UK embassies

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on Tue, 06/03/2012 - 4:37pm

Las Vegas USA, March 5, 2012 - The International Raelian Movement (www.rael.org) says they have a letter from the UK Cabinet which proves that the UK Cabinet is complicit in crimes of paedophilia as well as Crimes Against Humanity. All this stems from a lawsuit the Movement filed against the Pope during his visit to the UK in September 2010, alleging covering up paedophilia within the church as well as Crimes Against Humanity for the Vatican's telling millions of Africans that condoms do not stop the transmission of AIDS.

The release of millions of Stratfor documents by Wikileaks this week has shown the world the gross injustice being meted out on Julian Assange for his part in establishing the Wikileaks institution in an attempt to make democracy accountable.

Left disconnections

Submitted by Noel Conway on Wed, 29/02/2012 - 5:22pm

The left is a broad church. Excuse me if I make a few generalisations here.

The left is represented by the right of the Labor Party at its furthest right, although there are some unions that would argue they represent left values who are to the right of even the right of the Labor Party. let's accept that the Labor Right is about as right as we want the left to be.

At the other extreme is those anarchists who promote radical libertarianism and hard left Marxists who support the old ways of the Chinese Communist Party and Stalin.
