Recommended Readings (2016/04/22)

Well, another week, and it is time for the recommended readings for this week.

It looks like Australia will go to the polls in a double dissolution election on July 2 (the first in 30 years), and the government (as well as the Institute of Public Affairs's Bob Day) has got their way in the abolition of the Road Safety Renumeration Tribunal (RSRT). It should be stressed that if you are covering the directives of the Institute of Public Affairs, you would know that this was directive number 55 (https://ipa.org.au/publications/2080/be-like-gough-75-radical-ideas-to-transform-australia). Several other directives have also passed like the elimination of media ownership restrictions (#27) and the privatisation of Medibank (which was achieved under Tony Abbott, #49). Note that Ne News is opposed to the IPA, and the link in the article is for your research benefit. Note that if the Federal Government privatises the ABC and SBS (ABC: #50 and SBS: #51) on the pretext of new technology such as digital television and the internet, remember that privatisation of these important institutions is IPA policies, and the IPA controls the Liberal Party.

As mentioned by Ne News over the weekend, there is a vote in the Netherlands surrounding a non-binding vote that will be taking place on Wednesday (local time, around Thursday our time). (http://www4.dr-rath-foundation.org/News/2016/April.html#comment0219). And speaking of the European Union, there is reports of corruption in the EU (no surprise as the people of Europe has no power in the European Union) (http://www4.dr-rath-foundation.org/News/2016/April.html#comment0221).

Also, and this is particularly important for graduate students (who are more likely than not forced onto the New Start Allowance rather than Austudy). Know your rights as citizens. Note that you do not have to do the forced slavery that is "Work for the Dole", and that you have rights. And if you are not on the dole, do not believe the propaganda from the alleged "current affairs" programmes such as A Current Affair (http://unemployedworkersunion.com/).

Until Friday at 1:00 AEST.

EDITORIAL: Be Careful Italy

Ne News 2 June 2018 As you may be aware, there was a constitutional crisis in Italy following the decision to make a Eurosceptic Italian Finance Minister, which resulted in the Italian President to dissolve the government. Just a couple of days ago, this was resolved. However, it is worth noting that one of the parties in this coalition is the far-right wing Northern League, as well as the Five Star Movement. However, the people of Italy must be careful, especially in regards to the Northern League, as they may be the party to destroy Italy’s sovereignty and hand it over to the unelected and unaccountable European Union, which is increasingly becoming a fascist police state. That’s right, despite denying it and claiming that they are Eurosceptics, the Northern League may actually be the most pro-European Union party in the Italian Government. Throughout the world (and in particular the Western World), we are seeing the rise of far-right wing parties who claim ...

Afghanistan, Iraq. Hollywood’s Complicity: How Soon the Suckers Forget!

Philip A. Farruggio Global Research 12 May 2018 Featured image: George W. Bush with Ellen Degeneres, backstage after the former President appeared on “Ellen” and was hailed by her as a good friend (Source: @theellenshow/Instagram) How many lies and how many innocent lives have been sent out into the ethers by men like Junior Bush and his Bush/Cheney Cabal? Too many is the answer. Yet, as with the case with the Irish singing star (and humanitarian) Bono, Junior Bush has been ‘Born Again Philanthropist’. Well, good for him, but… that should not and DOES not absolve him from his war crimes. Screenshot AVC News, May 27, 2017 The real shame of all of this is just how short a memory do Ms. Ellen Degeneres and Mr. Bono have? I mean, come on you two  Media stars , have you both forgotten what transpired beginning in October of 2001? Does this writer need to once again review the  horrific  damage we,  and  our NATO led coal...

The French “Patriot Act”: Why is France Extending Its State of Emergency? From Pseudo-Democracy to Dictatorship

Guillaume Kress Global Research 19 February 2016 President Francois Hollande, whose legitimacy stems from nothing but a fraudulent multiparty electoral system , has repeatedly abused his authority  since taking office in 2012 by waging illegal wars in foreign countries (i.e., Mali, Syria) without consulting his electors. [1] He  recently failed to confer with them when his Socialist government responded to last year’s terrorist attacks in Paris by adopting Orwellian domestic policies – policies that have allowed the Hollande administration to spy on citizens , block websites containing “terrorist related content” , strip convicted “terrorists” of French citizenship , and criminalize activism against Israeli occupation .[2] These policies prevent the spread of information which may expose the government’s criminal activities. We should note, here, that the state of emergency greatly facilitates political corruption. [3] To put it briefly, the state of...
