Hello again. Hope you enjoyed the ANZAC Day Long Weekend. It is time for the recommended readings for this week. And here hoping that this week's Ne News is better than the problems that the station had last Friday (sorry about the lack of music and having to put up with talk for almost 1 hour).
Firstly, while the world has been focused on the apology by a celebrity couple, there has been a movement building in the United States against money in politics (http://www.globalresearch.ca/thousands-of-enraged-americans-storm-washington-media-yawns/5521737). It is worth noting that in many parts of the world, only the rich can get involved in politics, and each election cycle in the United States can cost hundreds of millions of dollars, and Australia is about to enter an election campaign for a double dissolution election on Saturday 2 July, and like in the United States, the one that spends the most money will win the election. Most of the politicians in Australia come from the top one per cent of the population.
In Peru, there was a David vs Goliath (and no, it's not Matt Parkinson from The Chase Australia) battle in which David (the people of Peru) forced Goliath (in the form of an American corporation) to scrap a multi-billion-dollar mining project (http://www.globalresearch.ca/david-beats-goliath-peru-locals-force-us-company-to-scrap-multibillion-dollar-mining-project/5521680). It will be interesting to see what will happen, and if Peru will be sued by the American Empire for listening to the people.
And speaking of the American Empire, they are beginning to spread propaganda against the BRICS countries (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa) are being targeted for 'revolutions;, and it looks like World War III have begun (http://www.globalresearch.ca/world-war-iii-has-begun/5521720). Of course, unless you are rich or a child of a politician, then you would be expected to go to war for the American Empire (yes, you will be conscripted), and die for the American Empire. And in a recent episode of Ne News, I mentioned that I rather go to jail than fight a war for the American Empire in Syria; and now I can say that I will not fight in any war for the American Empire, even if I am threatened with jail time.
And finally to Europe where the people of The Netherlands (who you may remember was voting in a non-binding vote on trade between the European Union and the neo-Nazi regime in Ukraine a couple of weeks ago), Dr. Rath Health Foundation is reporting that Dutch voters want a referendum on the Trans-Atlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) (http://www4.dr-rath-foundation.org/News/2016/April.html#comment0230). Ne News congratulates the Dutch people for standing up to the undemocratic methods that the TTIP (as well as the Trans-Pacific Partnership in the Pacific Rim) has been imposed on the people without any say. The people of countries that would be affected by both the TTIP and the TPP should have a say on this. But of course, there are more important things that governments would want us to worry about, such as the celebrity couple and their dogs; rather than the biggest trade agreements in world history that will make it harder for ordinary people to survive.
Until Friday afternoon at 1:00pm AEST.
