It has been widely rumoured that the same people who stole countless technology from humble but diligent BBS Bulletin Board Systems so as to build the IT Information Technology mainframes shut down borders bookshop so as to basically put a gag order on freedom of speech.
Rebuilding the Chaos, from the Ground Up: anti-Intervention groups call for a return to year zero in remote Aboriginal communities. (A version of this article also appears on The Drum.)

Winter is icumen in, here in central Australia; the car windows are filling with frost.
The solstice is nigh.

ARK (Absolute Return for Kids) held a fundraiser on June 9th in London. This was the first official engagement of Prince William and Kate Middleton.
ARK (Absolute Return for Kids)are not what they say. Google 'ARK EIM Schillings', or go to UK911forum 'War on Children' thread titled ‘Schillings solicitors letters re ARK, direct links’ for links to solicitors letters etc. Wikileaks links to this story keep breaking.......therefore this story is being hidden.
It is no surprise that ARK's offices lie within the John Adam St Gang.
Refugee Advocates are to demand that the Labor government axe the “Malaysian solution” with a protest outside Labor Party Headquarters in Melbourne from 1pm Friday 10th. 360 King Street, West Melbourne. Refugee Action Collective (Victoria) condemns the Labor government’s policy to ship asylum seekers to Malaysia. It is not a solution for refugees fleeing war and persecution. It is a return to the dark days of John Howard and offshore processing.
Australians for troops out of Afghanistan
The first part here is an extract dictated to me from an Australian distinguished 2nd world war veteran:
"They shouldn't be there, the Australians, the Canadians and the Americans, we went there and it's unwinnable, it's a pointless war, and our troops should come home now."
Listen to more of their voices and hear what they have to say if you want more grass roots knowledge.
Extract from Micah Sifry's "Wikileaks and the age of Transparnecy" also writes of Afghanistan an (I quote) "unwinnable war".

Because Queensland Premier Anna Bligh has banned TV news cameras from parliament, the public has no idea what happened to my son on 25 November 2010 when we were both ejected from parliament and my son Jordan Nash was assaulted by the SIB and then arrested for no reason.

Eight years after the US invaded Iraq, the Iraqi people are waging a grassroots fight for democracy and an economy that works for them. Some democratic trappings are in place. Violence is markedly down, even though bombings and similar attacks continue. The United States is scheduled to withdraw its remaining 46,000 troops by the end of this year.
Read this and weep: A marine scientist from the University of the Philippines has revealed that only 5 percent —equivalent to just around 1,000 square kilometers—of the country’s total reef area remain in good condition in the face of the wanton destruction of our coral reefs by poachers.
The estimated reef area of the Philippines ranges from 19,000 to 27,000 square kilometers, depending on the territorial boundaries and depth ranges. This makes the Philippines’s reef areas one of the biggest in Southeast Asia, more so if those in the disputed Kalayaan Islands were included.

- The Document
On May 28th, Melbourne saw its protest as part of the global "slutwalk" movement against the blaming of women for sexual assualts. This is a statement from organisers on what they felt of the day. "It was a magnificent day - more than we could have possibly hoped for. After having only announced the date of SlutWalk Melbourne three weeks prior, the response from the public, the media and importantly, survivors of assault and rape was overwhelming.
