VERY BIG PLOT TURNS OUT TO BE NEITHER BIG NOR A PLOT

VERY BIG PLOT TURNS OUT TO BE NEITHER BIG NOR A PLOT

http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2009/apr/22/nine-pakistani-students-arrested

...Reading the news, I must say this: 12 people - 12 students were arrested as suspected terrorists. Gordon Brown claimed that a "very big plot" has been foiled - without any evidence. Now, all but two, have been released. I dare say that they will all very soon be released without charge.

What Brown has said, then, is libelous, goes against the ... Read Moreproper system of justice, and, to put it bluntly, has distinct overtones of xenophobia: they are Pakistani, therefore they are guilty until proved innocent.

In the meantime, under the cover of this "very big plot", Brown has pushed through legistlation that is manifestation of this same xenophobia. Student visa controls have been "tightened", which is to say that international students may well now struggle to get the visas they need to study in Britain. Further, Universities are being asked to spy on and report on their international students - to suspect them of terrorism on the basis of their nationality.

This is nothing new of course. Witness the Nottingham University snooping in 2008:

The recent government (Bill Rammell's) demands for University snooping in only a continuation of established policy.... Read More

It is worth noting, and it will be worth checking the reports in up coming days to prove this, that even those who are then released without charge seem to be routinely deported, despite their innocence. Certainly those arrested recently have been 'released to the custody of UK Border Agency'.

...oh, update, as I've been writing the Guardian has released this:

http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2009/apr/22/11-men-released-anti-terror-raids

Yep, despite being held for two whole weeks (without any actual evidence) they have all been released without charge.

Oh - just to note:

'Greater Manchester police said last night that nine of the men, aged between 22 and 38, had been transferred into the custody of the UK Borders Agency. The Home Office said: "We are seeking to remove these individuals on grounds of national security. The government's highest priority is to protect public safety. Where a foreign national poses a threat to this country we will seek to exclude or to deport, where this is appropriate."

So, despite finding not substantial evidence (fuck all except perhaps the word "bomb" in an email) it seems they will deport this students as threats to national security.... Read More

...do you think this means we can deport Brown?


JUST for a laugh:

So... it is Piggish American Capitalists who have caused this latest "pandemic".

NO SURPRISE TO FIND CAPITALISTS STEALING AND POLLUTING THE LAND OF THE PEOPLE

So... once again the epitome of Western Capitalism (the US), and their "Pig Barons", steal land, evicting those who live on and work the land. They then, through factory farming and shoddy treatment of their livestock, cause half a town, perhaps more, to contract a contagious and potentially fatal disease (I say 'potentially', but remembering that many people have already died).

So... of course, they are handsomely compensating these people? And they are provinding and paying for the necessary medical care..? They are changing their farming methods?
...

...Surely?

It strikes me that the people who live in these places need to take back their land, by force if necessary. And we should all support them. "Legal" means will not work, since the law is designed to protect capitalism, and its conceptions of property, even in the face of clear facts demonstrating the extent of harm caused by these pig-people.

For all of you who are too caught up in the spectacle to engage in revolutionary activities: at least employ your pathetic "consumer ethics" and boycott Luter products.

Solidarity with the people of La Gloria.
