2008 was another difficult and often dangerous year for trade unionists around the world, according to this year's ITUC Annual Survey of Trade Union Rights Violations, which details abuses of fundamental workers' rights in 143 countries. 76 trade unionists were killed due to their actions to defend workers' rights, and many more were attacked physically or subjected to harassment, intimidation or arrest by the authorities. The report makes for depressing - but necessary - reading, and is available online here: http://survey09.ituc-csi.org/survey.php?IDContinent=0&Lang=EN

Tuesday is for the Planet Mars
We wear black for the God of Wars
Persistence and Aggression at its best
A Day for confrontation, not for rest
Today might be the day you avoid me
For Mars riles me up, you see
I can never back down from a good fight
And this day of the week, it’s at it’s height
Tomorrow I will worship the muses
But today, it seems I light my fuses.

Secret meetings and deals in parliament? *SHOCK*
Here we can see how all of the parties elected to government are more than happy to fill their piggy faces when they think the voters can't see.
Yet, how many people out there still think we can "reform" the system?

HA!

At least, 3000 Mohawks living on Turtle Island on the St Lawrence River straddling the border between the United States and Canada are under siege from Canadian military forces on the northern shore and US forces on the southern shore.


Mohawks who leave the island -- part of the Mohawk sovereign territory -- are not being allowed to return. Food supplies are being cut off leaving the remaining Mohawks living from day to day in a state of siege.


A Mohawk leader said that the US and Canadian governments wanted to destroy the North American Indians as the pace towards the creation of a militarised North American Union accelerated. The Northcom Agreement is just one piece of legislation that pushes forward the merger of Canada and the US, fusing the two country's army and police into a single force.


Members of the Mohawk community of Akwesasne routinely go back and forth across the border to go to work, take their children to school or visit relatives. Also, the Mohawk Nation has treaty relationships with the United States guaranteeing the sovereignty of their territory. Other North American Indian governments at Onondaga, Tonawanda Seneca, Cayuga and Tuscarora have been recognized by the United States under 72 Fed. Reg. 13647-13652 (Mar. 22, 2007).


The US and Canadian forces have laid siege to the Island on the pretext that the Mohawks are involved in bringing guns into the US, something the Mohawks deny, pointing out that guns are forbidden among their own border patrols.


A Mohawk leader said that the real motive for the siege was to provoke a gun battle with the Mohawks, destroy Mohawk society and its thriving political, cultural, economic and social structures that require frequent travel to and from the various communities on both sides of the international border.


As the world's climate changes and Canada's winters grow milder, the indigenous sovereign territories of the North American Indians full of minerals, oil and natural resources are becoming more accessible and hunted by the global banking elite, who see the thriving North American Indian communities as in the way.


The global elite are also targeting the Iroquois who occupy territories in southern Quebec and southern Ontario, using the globalist controlled newspapers such as the New York Times and the Montreal Gazette to discredit the Indians, linking them with bikers and other gangs, and also using the pretext of unpaid fines to seize land.


Mohawks have also been subjected to brutal physical assualts and even torture, but efforts to bring the Royal Canadian Mounted Police Officers to account have been thwarted by the demand from the Canadian courts that the Mohawks pay sums as large as 20,000 Canadian dollars to investigate each assualt.


There is silence in the Canadian media about the desperate last stand of the Mohawks isolated on Turtle Island by armed “Northcom” forces and watched over by circling helicopters.

So while I was gone, a few of my plants suffered greatly. I feel horrible. I gave them all a TON of water before going, but the ones that were not happy to start with withered. As well, my super healthy and strong oregano is half dead. However it does appear to be salvageable. I will spend some time with my beauties to reassure them that everything will be okay.

I have a few new sprouts. The salvia is not doing well neither here, nor in the other areas I’ve planted it. That’s unfortunate. I’ve heard cutting work better than seeds.

The weather is beautiful here, sun shining. I hope to be at the beach soon.

Harper seems to be up to his same old tricks. The new terror bill raises a few eyebrows. People could potentially sue countries and groups that they feel they are the victims of terror. Hmmm, which lobby group won this time? I can’t see how this could be put into effect. I guess Harper is now world dictator. Ahh in his dreams. Well this gives me some hope, perhaps I can sue the bastard for all the terror he puts me under every day. Creepy neo-fascist asshole.

War Criminal George Dubya Bush came to Toronto Ontario, May 28th and was unwelcomed by hundreds of protestors. Bush, who was on tour with former president Bill Clinton, spoke at the Metro Convention Center in Downtown Toronto. Bush/Clinton was paid 250,000.00 each to speak to the elites of the city. Apparently there was a bit of difficulty selling tickets and prices were eventually dropped to just shy of two hundred dollars. Toronto was the testing ground for the tour, to see what sort of attention it would get; positive and/or negative.

Therefore it was imperative that the unwelcoming committee was there to greet him. The crowds were loud, and shouted things like “War Criminals Out, War Resisters In” and “Arrest Bush”. Hands were made to look bloody, and a fifty foot banner was unfolded to read “Bush & Clinton, War Criminals Not Welcome in Toronto”. As part of the festivities, a huge painting of Bush’s “mug shot” was hung in the center of the demonstration. People were eager to throw their shoes at the picture.

This was my first demo in Toronto. I found the mood of the crowd to be both energetic and positive. People were undoubtedly loud and angry, but they illustrated it in the most positive of ways.

As for my part? I handed out information, screamed, yelled, threw some shoes, and did “vogue” poses for the secret service cameras. Air kisses for all assholes!

And to Bush? The evil you created also lives inside you, it is a part of you and it will undoubtedly destroy you. You God will not just forsake you, I expect he will kick you in the balls too.
