The life and death of an Australian hero, whose skin was the wrong colour

Arthur Murray died the other day. I turned to Google Australia for tributes, and there was a 1991 obituary of an American ballroom instructor of the same name.

Nearly 20,000 political prisoners in Libya begin hunger strike

Huelga de hambre de casi 20 mil prisioneros políticos en Libia

Resistencia Libia

3rd October, 2012

Mas de 19 mil patriotas libios sufren espantosa prisión en centros de tortura y encarcelamiento en las ciudades de Bengasi, Trípoli y Misrata. Sufren torturas indescriptibles peores que las sufridas por iraquíes en la prisión de Abu Graib a manos de la sucia soldadesca gringa. Son patriotas civiles y militares, empleados y oficiales, campesinos y trabajadores partidarios de la Yamahiriya encerrados tras la invasión del país por la OTAN y sus miserables hordas de sicarios integristas libios y extranjeros. La Asociación Libia de Prisioneros y Desaparecidos denuncia al Mundo esta situación que viola las mas elementales normas cívicas y los derechos humanos mas básicos e informa que los prisioneros políticos están en huelga de hambre para exigir el respeto a su integridad. Asimismo solicitan al pueblo libio que proteste en la calle y que denuncie a los siniestros carceleros de Al Qaeda y otras bandas criminales impuestas por la CIA y la OTAN

The citadel of the West in the post-Soviet space is falling — Georgia. A sad epilogue is being written to the epic story of the “color revolution”. The results of the Georgian parliamentary election on Monday have brought the stunning news that President Mikhail Saakashvilli has suffered a veritable rout. MS was brought to power by a carefully-plotted drama of “regime change” in 2003 known popularly in the western lexicon as the Rose Revolution.

3rd October, 2012

Many powerful terrorist explosions have just hit the financial hub of Aleppo in Syria. The Free Syrian Army (FSA) and various Islamist factions are intent on spreading terrorism, sectarianism and carnage all over Syria.
