Pervy Kinsey was no love doctor

Mohawk Nation News, Sept. 7, 2011.

The natural center of Indigenous society are the women. Everyone is equal and has a voice. The mind is independent. The Europeans developed a system where a boss orders around scared obedient people.

Pure sex is a known creative impulse. The state wanted to stimulate and control sexual energy from birth, to destroy free will and conscience. Sex had to become perverted and guilt-ridden.

Urgent push for a media inquiry - 48 hours left!

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on Sun, 11/09/2011 - 8:51am

By AVAAZ

On Tuesday PM Gillard will decide whether to support a full inquiry to clean up our media -- and an urgent outcry from all of us now could swing the decision.

Last week, The Australian, Murdoch’s flagship newspaper, was caught publishing lies about the Prime Minister -- proving that we need to look deeply into the state of our media. And powerful Labour MPs are supporting the inquiry, but Murdoch’s press is rabidly campaigning against it. We can drown out their lobby and bring an overwhelming call for change.

Asylum seeker policy: What will be the result?

Submitted by Kopilalai on Sat, 10/09/2011 - 1:37pm

Let us face it, it is not illegal to seek asylum in another country. On 31st of August, the High Court of Australia ruled the “Malaysia Solution” as simply invalid and unlawful; which demonstrated public expression of relief when this outcome was announced. However, it led to a game by which the government had to find a different direction to run from this issue.

Children in adult prisons STILL LANGUISH - Justice delayed is justice denied.

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on Wed, 07/09/2011 - 8:57pm

There are near one hundred of the world's most impoverished children incarcerated, whether on remand or sentenced, in Australian adult prisons. The brunt of these numbers are in Western Australian adult prisons. It has been confirmed to me by various authorities and by an Indonesian Vice-Consul that at least 16 of the age-disputes are in HAKEA Correctional facility, a maximum security prison which I have visited on a number of occasions over the years. There may be up to 40 age-disputes in Western Australian adult prisons.

Burma: 27 years jail for taking a couple of videos and driving an unregistered motorcycle

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on Wed, 07/09/2011 - 7:46am

When we think of crimes worthy of 27 years in jail, taking a couple of videos and driving an unregistered motorcycle isn’t exactly what comes to mind. But that’s exactly what’s happening to 27 year-old Hla Hla Win, a video journalist in Burma, one of the most repressive countries in the world.

Triumphant reports in the media about the fall of a “dictator” in Libya and the victory of “rebel” forces mask a dramatically different reality. The US, Britain and NATO have notched up a major geo-strategic objective in the region through long-term planning, including the cultivation of opposition forces in Libya.
