offsite link China Cancels Christmas in Hong Kong ? Leaving Churches Fearing for Their Future Wed Dec 18, 2024 11:22 | John MacNab
China has cancelled Christmas in Hong Kong this year. Officials have ordered that the usual celebrations be 'toned down'. It's part of a creeping intolerance that leaves churches fearing for the future, says John MacNab.

Yet again the Government has shown itself limited by the market push of the EU and the FDA
with regard to choice in health care and diet. The FDA and EU had worked on an operating system,
which cost millons where the net result is the coloured bar on the end of your ceral box which tells
you the RDA of your food. Its the 'buy it bulk and sell it back at profit' school of thought which brought
the ban on St John's Wort and the envisaged ban on Tea Tree Oil. In translation it just means that
in exchange for the profit of the Multi's we get treated like kids with regard to Choice!

Last week we all watched as the titular head of the Irish justice Department actively
deported a six year old autistic boy, along with his twin sister and his mother. They
were put on a commercial flight to Lagos, late at night and given enough cash for
an hotel. In the last day a Mexican woman who had sought refuge for 12 months
in a church and had become the voice of economic migrants and illegals in the
US was picked up and deported to Tijuana, leaving behind her, her eight year old
boy Saul.

Elvira Arellano has vowed to continue her fight from the other side of the border.
If we look at the newswire the overwhelming amount of these cases have involved
women and children. No surprises there, they are slower and easier to catch. read full story / add a comment

The Irish Government is building a four-lane motorway only 1 km from the main site of The Hill of Tara however the whole land around the main hill is of archeological interest, historical interest and spiritual interest. In July 2007 bulldozers came in the middle of the night (possibly to avoid the protestors, speculation but I can't see any excuse for using bulldozers in the middle of the night) destroying an ancient burial ground at Baronstown in the Tara-Skryne valley. Independent archaeologists claimed this site was of national monument status! The site was entirely devastated. read full story / add a comment

Independent Media Centre, otherwise known as CIM and Indymedia operates a
women's list which has links to both Global and Pan -European sites, where women
are working on tech development and support mechanisms for women writers.
Most of the developers do not hail from Indymedia but from a wide variety of disciplines
that feed into each other and generally there are multiple crossings between lists.

http://www.linuxchix.org and http://europeanfeministforum.org are two of the groups that
participate in creating spaces for developing free open software systems.

There was a flurry of excitement some time ago about a controversial interview with Noam Chomsky in the Guardian. Chomsky himself strongly contested the account of his views given by the article, and in due course the paper repudiated it. Reading over the text, there’s little doubt that the journalist (Emma Brockes) was trying too hard to cause a stir – with the goal of scalping a well-known figure firmly on her mind, she lost the run of herself and delivered a sloppy, inaccurate and misleading piece. What many people lost sight of during the controversy, though, was the light it shone on a troubling problem: the persistence of left-wing stupidity concerning the Balkan wars of the 1990s. read full story / add a comment

Drawn together apparently by the hand of fate, Trent and Cole escape the oppressive totalitarian domed city that has nurtured them all their lives.

Outside they discover a world they could never have imagined. They are pursued by the city Militia, intent on returning them to the secretive entity that oversees every facet of the city.

They are joined by Floyd, who turns against the Militia; only to be captured once more and freed by those they would have considered most unlikely to help them.

The trio begin to understand the truth of their world and must decide for whom they will fight in the coming wars...
