''The military is also impeding the flow of aid. They’ve commandeered a hanger at the Banda Aceh airport, where they are taking control of internationally shipped in supplies. We just got a report this afternoon that the distribution of supplies is being done in some towns and villages only to people who hold the ‘red and white,’ which is a special ID card issued to Acehnese by the Indonesian police. You have to go to a police station to get one of these ID cards, and it is only issued to people who the police certify as not being opponents of the army, not being critics of the government. Of course many people are afraid to go and apply for such a card.'' read full story / add a comment

ooops that was brother Marleye.

Mr Brown is scottish.

BAGHDAD (AFP) — Iraq's insurgency counts more than 200,000 active fighters and sympathisers, the country's national intelligence chief told AFP, in the bleakest assessment to date of the armed revolt waged by Sunni Muslims.

"I think the resistance is bigger than the US military in Iraq. I think the resistance is more than 200,000 people," Iraqi intelligence service director General Mohammad Abdullah Shahwani said in an interview ahead of the January 30 elections...

Interesting stuff in today's Sindo and elsewhere.
"Anti-Fascist" youths are reported to have claimed responsibility for be-heading a statue of the IRA Chief of staff and Nazi collaborator Sean Russell in a Dublin park.
A statement from the (unamed)group describes him as a fanatic who looked to Hitler for support, and suggests that the nazis expected republicans to hand over Jews in a united Ireland established with German support.
Anyone know who carried out the action? AFA? read full story / add a comment

Why did great civilisations of the past collapse, and how likely is it that ours will, too? University of California at Los Angeles geography professor and Pulitzer Prize winner Jared Diamond begins his 575-page book with a response to this query by quoting Percy Bysshe Shelley's haunting poem on the faded glories of an Egyptian pharaoh, 'Ozymandias':

And on the pedestal these words appear:
"My name is Ozymandias, king of kings:
Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!"

Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away. read full story / add a comment

As you know putting a "word" through "goo" is how most people enter the cybernetic matrix.
Thanks to the fine minds of CERN we have had the internet for years now, and millions oh yes millions of people use it everyday.
Most just use it a little bit. Many people upload thier photos, or download music, many more pay their mortgage and food bills by adding to the code.
Some people abuse it, that really has to be said.

Very few people understand it.

I'd wager a guess that less than 1000 people on this planet understand it.
But i'd probably be wrong. read full story / add a comment
