Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5Why the unpopularity in Poland ?
Anyway Ive a mate from North Kurdistan/Turkey who would be interested in the links you have.
Thanks
Seeing that these "terrorist lists" are always drawn up by the worlds biggest terrorists and really are just a list of those armed organisations
that WE are not supplying, Id say it is a matter of some concern to any genuine Revolutionary to be off such a list.
"those armed organisations that WE are not supplying" THIS WEEK (or if we are its hush hush)
I've been paying attention to both the PKK & DKK and Kurdistan in general, since I saw a man daub grafitti in the Turkish language on the pedestal of a statue who had just been art-actioned at a gig of some general cultural importance I had played a part in. He was an ex-officer of the British army whose grafitti style lacked the artistic merit of others who were that day engaged in adding messages to the furniture of Westminster Square and environs in London. But a few hours later he was arrested and as it happens was the first individual to face the courts and receive a prison sentance for that particular rts! gig. It took me a while to ascertain what James had written. It was quite simply "freedom for kurdistan". Of all the things to spray paint in red under Winston Churchill wearing his punky mohican, I at first thought it was "well lame". I waited around to see was anyone going to tag up the Afrikaan on the plinth in that square I've long resolved to see removed. Then I caught someone uprooting the 6 square meters of marijuana plants i had just painted....... I digress....... it's a long story........ (((why we support Kurdish self-determination & why it's such a geopolitically thorny issue & one so close to the agenda of the global underground of notoriously underestimated muppets)))
So, Kevin of the Judean Peoples Front, I wouldn't go back so far in the murkey history of chicanery & double dealing. Not a word will I yet utter on the importance of worker migrant routes or heroin supply. I'm sure I've already included the safety of pilgrimage routes to Mecca as a "quid pro quo" in the millenial deal by which we secure safety of pilgrimage routes to Sion & end those nasty wars called "crusades" on the relevant threads (can we talk about talking to Al Qaeda & well if you're interested the cross links to the first airing are in the comments)
I reckon a good place to start is in the comments to this article on misrepresentation of Iran by the Irish Times by Miriam Cotton & David Manning of "MediaBite" which seeked to bring attention to the Turkish military's strategy in Kurdistan. http://www.indymedia.ie/article/83413
Oh yep, you wondered why Poland doesn't like Kurds? Quite simple - it's got to do with the current Polish regime's role in the US missile shield bollox coupled with that regime's hostility to the EU our soon to be ex-taoiseach so foolishly and without proper foresight thought to include them in.
I doubt the Polish regime at heart have anything really grudgeful for their own sakes against the Kurds, but it's been a while since the Polish regime has done anything off its own bat. I'd say 1998 at least. Which was the date of an executive presidential order agreement with Clinton's administration, as it happens. But let's not let the bigger picture of geopolitics get in the way of small detail. You could ignore all this comment & simply pay attention to the Kurds themselves.
I like Kurds & so should you. I'll think you agree they are very photogenic even allowing for Paula's excellent portrait skills
http://www.indymedia.ie/article/75727
"kurd" through the search engine.
http://www.indymedia.ie/openwire?search_text=kurd&x=0&y=0
Ah yes, very photogenic these Kurds.
Wait a minute are all Kurds male? It's just that there is not one Kurdish woman in sight in the photos.
Would this have anything to do with the rampant misogyny in Kurdish culture? . No mention is made of enforced marriages and the ill-treatment of women. Neither is mention made that Kurdish culture condones the use of tied serfs (slavery in modern parlance).
So before we talk about freedom for the Kurds we might ask the Kurds to free half their population.
