While poverty persists, there is no freedom


Millions remain enslaved and in chains at a time of breathtaking advances in technology and wealth

By Nelson Mandela

11/04/06 "The Guardian" -- -- In Johannesburg, this week, in the warm company of friends, like Nadine Gordimer, I became an Amnesty International ambassador of conscience. It was a joy for me to receive this honour from the members of the world's largest human rights movement. It was heartening too that the award was inspired by the great Irish writer Seamus Heaney's poem From the Republic of Conscience, which reminds us all of our duty.

Their embassies, he said, were everywhere but operated independently and no ambassador would ever be relieved.

Like Amnesty International, I have been struggling for justice and human rights for long years. I have retired from public life now. But as long as injustice and inequality persist in our world, none of us can truly rest. We must become stronger still.

Through the work of the Nelson Mandela Foundation, the Nelson Mandela Children's Fund, and the Mandela Rhodes Foundation, I am continuing my struggle for human rights. These three charitable institutions operating in my name are tasked with continuing my work in important areas I have been concerned with throughout my life: children and youth, memory and dialogue, and building new generations of ethical leaders.

It is my wish that this award should help all activists around the world to shine their candles of hope for the forgotten prisoners of poverty. Like slavery and apartheid, poverty is not natural. It is people who have made poverty and tolerated poverty, and it is people who will overcome it.

Overcoming poverty is not a gesture of charity. It is an act of justice. It is the protection of fundamental human rights. Everyone everywhere has the right to live with dignity, free from fear and oppression, free from hunger and thirst, and free to express themselves and associate at will.

Yet in this new century millions of people remain imprisoned, enslaved and in chains. Massive poverty and inequality are terrible scourges of our times - times in which the world also boasts breathtaking advances in science, technology, industry and wealth accumulation.

While poverty persists, there is no true freedom. Amnesty International is right to stand up against the rights violations that drive and deepen poverty.

People living in poverty have the least access to power to shape policies - to shape their future. But they have the right to a voice. They must not be made to sit in silence as"development" happens around them, at their expense. True development is impossible without the participation of those concerned.

Take the right to housing. Three million people in Africa have been evicted from informal settlements since the turn of the century.

We have also seen in Africa the scourge of HIV-Aids, decimating the lives of our people, especially those living in poverty. All of us - rich and poor, governments, companies and individuals - share the responsibility of ensuring that everyone has access to information, means of prevention and treatment. And our starting point must be respect for individuals' rights.

We know that it is the already marginalised who are most affected by HIV-Aids. And we know that, within this group, women are marginalised yet more and bear the most significant burden. As daughters, mothers, sisters and grandmothers, every day they experience and live out the reality of this pandemic.

Women are also being killed by other preventable causes. One woman dies every minute from conditions relating to pregnancy. And where do almost all these women live? In the developing world - in poverty. Amnesty International is working to make rights real for women, through its work on poverty, and through its campaigning against the violence they face.

Women and girls need safe environments to learn and to work. At the moment, discrimination and violence exacerbate their lack of access to the very tools they need to make their own rights a reality. If girls do not have a safe and non-discriminatory environment to pursue education or gain employment, the consequences reverberate throughout their lives, denying them the choice and freedom we take for granted.

Women and girls living in abusive relationships, for example, are unable to flee the violence because they are financially dependent on their abusers. This balance of power, and the broader one it represents, must be shifted.

I have spoken before about the need for a turning point. I see this ambassador of conscience award as one more step towards that turning point. Nadine Gordimer has recalled a conversation she and I had in 1998, when I said: "What I want to see is an environment where the young people of our country have a real chance to develop the inherent possibilities they have to create a better life for themselves... That is what development is about."

If all human rights activists around the world believe this, and act on this, and get others to believe, we will have our turning point.

Bush battered as Democrats seize House

UK Independent

Published: 08 November 2006

Democrats have won control of the House of Representatives and are challenging the Republican majority in the Senate in a mid-term election blow to President George Bush.

Democrats rode to victory on a powerful wave of public anger over the war in Iraq and scandal at home. They also reclaimed governors' offices throughout the country, giving them a majority for the first time in 12 years.

Under a Democratic House, Bush faces the prospect of stalemate in the final two years of his presidency, with newly empowered Democratic politicians likely to investigate his administration and block his conservative political agenda.

Republicans have controlled both houses of Congress for most of the time since Bush took office in 2001.

Bush monitored the returns from the White House. "They have not gone the way he would have liked," press secretary Tony Snow said of the election returns.

By early morning, Democrats had picked at least 26 House seats held by Republicans, more than enough to guarantee a return to power after 12 years in the minority.

Bush arranged to call Rep. Nancy Pelosi, the leader of House Democrats, then hold a news conference.

Pelosi would become the first woman speaker, or House leader, in history. Pelosi, a liberal who has sharply criticised Bush, would be second in line of succession to the presidency, behind Vice President Dick Cheney.

"Mr. President we need a new direction in Iraq," Pelosi said yesterday.

If the battle for House control was settled, not so the Senate struggle.

Democrats won Republican Senate seats in Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Ohio and Missouri, defeating Sens. Rick Santorum, Mike DeWine, Lincoln Chafee and Jim Talent. But they came up short in Tennessee as Republican Bob Corker won a hotly contested race, defeating Rep. Harold Ford.

That left control of the Senate up in the air, pending the outcome of races in Montana and Virginia. Republican Sens. Conrad Burns and George Allen both trailed, and Democrats needed to win both races to emerge with a majority. The final results are not expected till this afternoon London time.

Thank you America - You Have Restored Some of My Faith

Wow. Time to celebrate if you have been watching the world slide (Bush driven) towards the edge of hell - or if you've recognised the hell-on-earth in Iraq.

I'm not going to pretend I know much about the structure of American politics, but whatever the final result, Americans, the ordinary decent people, have let Bush know exactly what they think of his dangerous and frankly stupid attitude towards the problem of Iraq and foreign policy.

Thank you to the good people of America - for showing the world that the neocons and blatant rightwing fascists have no place here in the modern world.
They can go hang together.

LET THIS BE A WARNING TO BRITISH GOVERNMENT

Gandhi was right - The fascists will always be beaten in the end. Their way is not the way of rationale or wisdom.

The American people have rallied to save their constitution and their country from the same fate that befell Hitler's Germany.
They know the truth:
Make the world fear you = Make the world hate you.
George Bush thought he could take on the world.
He was wrong.

That's the sad thing really. That he doesn't 'get it'.
Bush failed to represent or respect his own people, let alone the Iraqi people.
He didn't understand that the bravery and strength of the nation he'd sworn to protect, would bring his downfall, despite the threats, despite the destruction of the constitution - he has failed to intimidate and fool the American people.
The vote yesterday told him - If you won't do the right thing - we'll have to do the right thing to stop you.

If you are anywhere near a person who voted to end the Bush regime - (and no matter what happens now, at least the loony flying the plane has been ejected from the controls) please shake their hand for me, give them a pat on the back, or a big kiss, because they have proved how easy it is to admit, We were Wrong.

Now shut down the torture houses, give innocent people back their lives, address the death toll in Iraq, stop the weapons manufacturers making billions out of blood, end the nuclear arms race, stop the US slave labour in Indonesia, address the environment problem, give the New Orleans victims compensation for all the horrors they've suffered and for f*ck sake, help those of us who care a **** for human life to rescue Palestine from genocide….

Peace,
Endy

Children in war often show trauma symptoms such as fear, anxiety and chronic bed wetting, says Justine McCabe, a Connecticut cultural anthropologist and clinical psychologist.

"The numbers of people with post-traumatic stress disorder going around Israel and the Palestinian territories are enormous," says McCabe, who has volunteered at the Gaza Community Mental Health Program in Gaza City.

She believes human beings need to develop a non-suffering part of themselves to accept the suffering parts. For Palestinian children, the non-suffering capacity has been greatly reduced and the suffering has become too much to hold, says McCabe.

Israeli tank fire kills sleeping families

Wednesday 08 November 2006

Israeli tanks have killed at least 18 Palestinians, including sleeping women and children, in the deadliest single attack in Gaza in four years.

Mahmud Assaly, director of Beit Lahiya hospital, said the people were killed when tanks opened fire on several houses early on Wednesday.

Attaf Hamad, a witness, said that tank shells struck and demolished at least four houses in the attack.

More than 40 people were reportedly injured, including seven children and four women, the Palestinian health minister and witnesses said.

"It is the saddest scene and images I have ever seen. We saw legs, we saw heads, we saw hands scattered in the street," Hamad told Reuters.

"I saw people coming out of a house covered in blood. I started screaming to wake up the neighbours."

The survivors have been taken to three different hospitals in Gaza

The American people have proven they can stand up and defend themselves - now let us all stand up and defend the little countries - who need us desperately. The Palestinians have suffered for far too long. They've been hanging onto a dream for generations - let us help them make that dream, a dream of peace - into a reality.
They need help -as do the people of Iraq.
For the sake of humanity.

More Bad News For Bush Very Happy


Ortega returns as Nicaragua president

The Sandinista leader, Daniel Ortega, a former Marxist who fought a US-backed insurgency in the 1980s, has won Nicaragua's presidential election.

With 91 per cent of the vote counted, Ortega had 38 per cent of the vote compared to 29 per cent for Eduardo Montealegre, who was backed by the US.

Under Nicaraguan law, the winner must reach 35 per cent and have a five percentage point lead to win the election outright and avoid a runoff.

Ortega's supporters celebrated in the streets following the announcement, setting off fireworks.

Montealegre immediately conceded defeat...

Write to your MP:

Dear MP,

I am shocked at the inadequate response of the British Foreign Secretary to the attacks by the Israeli army in Gaza. Would you please ask the Foreign Secretary Margaret Beckett on my behalf the following questions:
Would you please explain:

1. Why when you "call for an immediate end to the launching of rockets against Israeli civilian targets, and to all forms of violence ",
you do not call for an immediate end to the use of fighter jets, missiles and rockets by the Israeli army?

2. Why the British government does not condemn the latest killings by the Israeli army in Gaza?

3. You state that "We deeply regret the deaths of civilians on both sides" can you please tell me how many Israelis have been killed by the rockets you mention?

4. You state "any action should be proportionate and in accordance with international humanitarian law", please inform me of what steps the British government has taken to bring pressure upon the Israeli government to act within this aspect of international humanitarian law.

Yours sincerely,

We overcame our fear

The unarmed women of the Gaza Strip have taken the lead in resisting Israel's latest bloody assault

By Jameela al-Shanti in Beit Hanoun

11/09/06 "The Guardian" -- -- Yesterday at dawn, the Israeli air force bombed and destroyed my home. I was the target, but instead the attack killed my sister-in-law, Nahla, a widow with eight children in her care. In the same raid Israel's artillery shelled a residential district in the town of Beit Hanoun in the Gaza Strip, leaving 19 dead and 40 injured, many killed in their beds. One family, the Athamnas, lost 16 members in the massacre: the oldest who died, Fatima, was 70; the youngest, Dima, was one; seven were children. The death toll in Beit Hanoun has passed 90 in one week.

This is Israel's tenth incursion into Beit Hanoun since it announced its withdrawal from Gaza. It has turned the town into a closed military zone, collectively punishing its 28,000 residents. For days, the town has been encircled by Israeli tanks and troops and shelled. All water and electricity supplies were cut off and, as the death toll continued to mount, no ambulances were allowed in. Israeli soldiers raided houses, shut up the families and positioned their snipers on roofs, shooting at everything that moved. We still do not know what has become of our sons, husbands and brothers since all males over 15 years old were taken away last Thursday. They were ordered to strip to their underwear, handcuffed and led away.

It is not easy as a mother, sister or wife to watch those you love disappear before your eyes. Perhaps that was what helped me, and 1,500 other women, to overcome our fear and defy the Israeli curfew last Friday - and set about freeing some of our young men who were besieged in a mosque while defending us and our city against the Israeli military machine.

We faced the most powerful army in our region unarmed. The soldiers were loaded up with the latest weaponry, and we had nothing, except each other and our yearning for freedom. As we broke through the first barrier, we grew more confident, more determined to break the suffocating siege. The soldiers of Israel's so-called defence force did not hesitate to open fire on unarmed women. The sight of my close friends Ibtissam Yusuf abu Nada and Rajaa Ouda taking their last breaths, bathed in blood, will live with me for ever.

Later an Israeli plane shelled a bus taking children to a kindergarten. Two children were killed, along with their teacher. In the last week 30 children have died. As I go round the crowded hospital, it is deeply poignant to see the large number of small bodies with their scars and amputated limbs. We clutch our children tightly when we go to sleep, vainly hoping that we can shield them from Israel's tanks and warplanes.

But as though this occupation and collective punishment were not enough, we Palestinians find ourselves the targets of a systematic siege imposed by the so-called free world. We are being starved and suffocated as a punishment for daring to exercise our democratic right to choose who rules and represents us. Nothing undermines the west's claims to defend freedom and democracy more than what is happening in Palestine. Shortly after announcing his project to democratise the Middle East, President Bush did all he could to strangle our nascent democracy, arresting our ministers and MPs. I have yet to hear western condemnation that I, an elected MP, have had my home demolished and relatives killed by Israel's bombs. When the bodies of my friends and colleagues were torn apart there was not one word from those who claim to be defenders of women's rights on Capitol Hill and in 10 Downing Street.

Why should we Palestinians have to accept the theft of our land, the ethnic cleansing of our people, incarcerated in forsaken refugee camps, and the denial of our most basic human rights, without protesting and resisting?

The lesson the world should learn from Beit Hanoun last week is that Palestinians will never relinquish our land, towns and villages. We will not surrender our legitimate rights for a piece of bread or handful of rice. The women of Palestine will resist this monstrous occupation imposed on us at gunpoint, siege and starvation. Our rights and those of future generations are not open for negotiation.

Whoever wants peace in Palestine and the region must direct their words and sanctions to the occupier, not the occupied, the aggressor not the victim. The truth is that the solution lies with Israel, its army and allies - not with Palestine's women and children.

Saddam: Let's now charge the accomplices


By John Pilger

11/09/06 "Information Clearing House" -- -- In a show trial whose theatrical climax was clearly timed to promote George W Bush in the American midterm elections, Saddam Hussein was convicted and sentenced to hang. Drivel about "end of an era" and "a new start for Iraq" was promoted by the usual false moral accountants, who uttered not a word about bringing the tyrant's accomplices to justice. Why are these accomplices not being charged with aiding and abetting crimes against humanity?

Why isn't George Bush Snr being charged? In 1992, a congressional inquiry found that Bush as president had ordered a cover-up to conceal his secret support for Saddam and the illegal arms shipments being sent to Iraq via third countries. Missile technology was shipped to South Africa and Chile, then "on sold" to Iraq, while US Commerce Department records were falsified. Congressman Henry Gonzalez, chairman of the House of Representatives Banking Com mittee, said: "[We found that] Bush and his advisers financed, equipped and succoured the monster . . ."

Why isn't Douglas Hurd being charged? In 1981, as Foreign Office minister, Hurd travelled to Baghdad to sell Saddam a British Aerospace missile system and to "celebrate" the anniversary of Saddam's blood-soaked ascent to power. Why isn't his former cabinet colleague, Tony Newton, being charged? As Thatcher's trade secretary, Newton, within a month of Saddam gassing 5,000 Kurds at Halabja (news of which the Foreign Office tried to suppress), offered the mass murderer £340m in export credits.

Why isn't Donald Rumsfeld being charged? In December 1983, Rumsfeld was in Baghdad to signal America's approval of Iraq's aggression against Iran. Rumsfeld was back in Baghdad on 24 March 1984, the day that the United Nations reported that Iraq had used mustard gas laced with a nerve agent against Iranian soldiers. Rumsfeld said nothing. A subsequent Senate report documented the transfer of the ingredients of biological weapons from a company in Maryland, licensed by the Commerce Department and approved by the State Department.

Why isn't Madeleine Albright being charged? As President Clinton's secretary of state, Albright enforced an unrelenting embargo on Iraq which caused half a million "excess deaths" of children under the age of five. When asked on television if the children's deaths were a price worth paying, she replied: "We think the price is worth it."

Why isn't Peter Hain being charged? In 2001, as Foreign Office minister, Hain described as "gratuitous" the suggestion that he, along with other British politicians outspoken in their support of the deadly siege of Iraq, might find themselves summoned before the International Criminal Court. A report for the UN secretary general by a world authority on international law describes the embargo on Iraq in the 1990s as "unequivocally illegal under existing human rights law", a crime that "could raise questions under the Genocide Convention". Indeed, two past heads of the UN humanitarian mission in Iraq, both of them assistant secretary generals, resigned because the embargo was indeed genocidal. As of July 2002, more than $5bn-worth of humanitarian supplies, approved by the UN Sanctions Committee and paid for by Iraq, were blocked by the Bush administration, backed by the Blair and Hain government. These included items related to food, health, water and sanitation.

Above all, why aren't Blair and Bush Jnr being charged with "the paramount war crime", to quote the judges at Nuremberg and, recently, the chief American prosecutor - that is, unprovoked aggression against a defenceless country?

And why aren't those who spread and amplified propaganda that led to such epic suffering being charged? The New York Times reported as fact fabrications fed to its reporter by Iraqi exiles. These gave credibility to the White House's lies, and doubtless helped soften up public opinion to support an invasion. Over here, the BBC all but celebrated the invasion with its man in Downing Street congratulating Blair on being "conclusively right" on his assertion that he and Bush "would be able to take Baghdad without a bloodbath". The invasion, it is reliably estimated, has caused 655,000 "excess deaths", overwhelmingly civilians.

If none of these important people are called to account, there is clearly only justice for the victims of accredited "monsters".

Is that real or fake justice?

Fake.

The struggle for belonging

That is what connects the majority of the English with recent immigrants

Billy Bragg
Tuesday November 7, 2006
The Guardian

George Orwell famously struggled with the meaning of Englishness at the height of the blitz, searching in The Lion and the Unicorn for those things he felt worth defending against nazism: "the diversity of it, the chaos! The clatter of clogs in the Lancashire mill towns, the to-and-fro of the lorries on the Great North Road ... the old maids biking to Holy Communion through the mists of the autumn morning ... How can anyone make a pattern out of this muddle?"

Article continues
Nearly 66 years later, things don't seem much clearer. The diversity that Orwell recognised is more pronounced; the challenge of defining a recognisable national identity even greater. Some might ask: why bother? Isn't the great thing about Englishness the fact that it is so hard to define?

In ordinary times such debates are largely academic. However, these are not ordinary times. For a Muslim community that is constantly bombarded with demands to assimilate, the absence of a formal set of values that define who we are makes any attempt to reconcile the core values of Islam with those of English society almost impossible. If integration is to be anything more than a one-way street in which incomers are constantly forced to submit to the will of the majority, if we want to create an inclusive society around commonly held values, the place to begin looking for those values is in our history.

History is multilayered - many cultures can claim a place as their own. Take the Manchester Free Trade Hall, for example. It was built in 1856 as a meeting place for opponents of those who held a monopoly over the price of corn. Christabel Pankhurst, campaigning for votes for women, was arrested there in 1905 for spitting in the face of a policeman. In 1976 it was the venue for a Sex Pistols gig, an event which inspired the whole Manchester music scene. So whose tradition should be given prominence? The anti-corn-law movement, the suffragettes or the punks? In the event, everyone lost out when the building was recently converted into a hotel.

As history becomes increasingly democratised, whether under initiatives such as Black History Month or through individuals exploring their family trees, we need to ensure that the subject does not become segregated. The next step must be to highlight the common threads that link different communities across ethnicity, geography and time.

But does our history - that of a white, Christian, democratic society - have anything to say to those who have recently arrived from countries that share none of these characteristics? Can heritage accommodate those who feel excluded? I believe it can.

Less than a century ago, most British citizens were excluded from fully realising their individual potential by class barriers; excluded from expressing their democratic will by gender; excluded from good health by poverty. All the way back to the Magna Carta, our history has examples of people standing up for their right to be treated fairly. It is this struggle for belonging that connects the majority of English people with the minority of recently arrived immigrants - a struggle to be accepted as part of society, as respected, responsible citizens.

Our history, far from being a stuffy subject that concerns itself merely with kings, queens and generals, has the potential to make an important contribution to the increasingly fractious debate about who does and does not belong. To counter those who exploit fear in order to divide communities, we urgently need to highlight the common threads that bind us as a society. First and foremost will be the country that we share: the "English" in English heritage is surely a matter of place, not race.

US plans last big push in Iraq

Strategy document calls for extra 20,000 troops, aid for Iraqi army and regional summit

By Simon Tisdall / Guardian

President George Bush has told senior advisers that the US and its allies must make "a last big push" to win the war in Iraq and that instead of beginning a troop withdrawal next year, he may increase US forces by up to 20,000 soldiers, according to sources familiar with the administration's internal deliberations.

Everyone's gone crazy
Men once true to their faith
Digging open old wounds
With poisoned knives
It's a savage street
Grief has triggered it
You can smell it
Sorrow in the stones piled to the sky
No one cares to live
In this hellish state
Where men raised on honour
Have discovered hate
And the bullets fly
Anger floods the eyes
As another son is slaughtered
Under black skies
Revenge is all that's left
To love

Listen to the grumbling moan,
Of the death-tanks rumbling, on and on,
Think that their cause is right,
With no other reason,
To continue this fight,
Except the ignorance, that they've shown,

Listen to the ghastly roar,
Of the planes coming, as they soar,
Flying stealthy through the night,
With no real reason,
To take flight,
Revenge knocking, at their door,

Blood is flowing down the street,
Justice, someday, the killers will meet,
Revenge, something that it swore,
With their heads laying at its feet,

I wish that I could speak to you,
So you could tell me why you did it,
So you could tell me what warped your mind,
And as a child, what hit it,

I wish that I could knock you out,
And tie you to the door,
And stomp your screwed up redneck face,
Into the f ucking floor,

Hi Bawb,
How's things? I've got to kip off now, but feel free to write your **** here

D'you hear about this?

My God ! (not that i've got one)

This has been shut out of the mainstream news - spread the man's words if you can.

I'm sorry he felt desperate and compelled enough to do this.

Peace
Endy
