<P>Al Jazeera is a capitalist, secular news organisation and has a reputation for reporting hard, uncensored, often unpaletable, facts about the middle east, not "propaganda" apart, perhaps, from Kuwait where it has dishes. <BR><BR>----- Original Message ----- <BR>From: "Steve (Dionysian Underground)" <DIONYSIAN_UNDERGROUND@YAHOO.CO.UK><BR>To: pagan-magik@lists.aktivix.org <BR>Subject: [pagan-magik] Al Jazeera <BR>Date: Fri, 31 Dec 2004 19:55:59 +0000 (GMT) <BR><BR>> <BR>> I see that article has been fairly universally <BR>> condemned. Its a bit beyond the pale to use a major <BR>> natural disaster for such blatent political <BR>> propaganda. <BR>> <BR>> Of course there is a political dimension, its the <BR>> failure of the regional governments, and the wealthy <BR>> elite that control them, notably in India, to look <BR>> after its own population, by instituting an early <BR>> warning system. The cheapest warning system <BR>> is simply the information that if the sea goes out <BR>> incredibly far (as experts say it does before a <BR>> Tsunami) run, as its coming in that far! Which <BR>> requires one sheet of paper per person. America is <BR>> only to blame in as far as its the largest Capitalist <BR>> oligarchy in the world and underpins the local <BR>> oligarchies. The fact that there are people living <BR>> in tin huts eaking out a living in the area, while <BR>> unconcerned millionaires live in luxury behind walls <BR>> and on remote islands, is also part of the problem. <BR>> And I haven't even started on the 'Tourist <BR>> Industry'... <BR>> <BR>> <BR>> <BR>> <BR>> ===== <BR>> Opposing Utopia for the sake of its Realisation <BR>> <BR>> <BR>> <BR>> <BR>> <BR>> ___________________________________________________________ <BR>> ALL-NEW Yahoo!
