QLD: G20 Dissenters form Action Network

As Australia assumes the G20 presidency prior to the summit in November next year, concerned community members announce the formation of the Brisbane Community Action Network G20 (BrisCAN-G20).

The network has formed to facilitate community responses and raise the profile of dissent to the G20 summit. BrisCAN-G20 will foster collaborations between community groups, support community action and provide commentary and critique of the G20 and Australia’s role in it.

War Comic Script: Mainlandia Invaded in ‘Exercise Southern Katipo 2013′ – Timaru Liberated!

This article criticizes a multi-force military exercise currently taking place in New Zealand's South Island for its oversimplified 'war on terror' era, good versus bad script. It also mocks uncritical coverage by New Zealand's mainstream media for their news-lite approach. Readers are reminded that two participating country's - France and the United States - both have a history of state-sponsored terrorism. It suggests that the NZ-led military coalition has an invasion of Fiji in its sights.

October 2013 Honduras military coup update

Now that we are reaching the end of Lobo's coup regime, its election time again in November 2013. In these four years the elite have constantly held onto hegemony and whitewashed the coup using language of 'peace, tranquility, and reconcilitation'. The election is equally their game, and their rules, their chance to further consolidate, and has a demobilising effect to their favour.
