If premier Danny Williams is speaking on behalf of PM Stephen Harper, then I say cast Stephen Harper out the 50th storey window by his genitals .

Five of my weird habits

* I'm a guy's worst nightmare - selfish over the tv remote.

* I live in orderly chaos but mess with my system and x-rays shoot out of my
eyes.

* When doing athletic training the 'zoning out' method unfortuantely doesn't work
on me, hence I'll make your and my mother blush with my language on the
pain my body is going through

* I'm always late for everything and try to blame it on everyone else

* I have pet names for my sister 'Bug' and she does for me -> I'm the bird (nothing to do with my having a feathery bottom or colourful plummage)

The 6th baby with the mess of red matter designed all over it's face looks like something out of a horror movie. The baby below that with it's intestines borne outside of it's body - does that baby or any of them for that matter deserve that fate ? These children are born this way, not only in Iraq but in Palestine and all the other countries which are occupied and held hostage by US forces, being bombarded by banned biological/chemical warfare. That's right USA/Israel, take all the toxic material this earth has to offer and dump it on those who refuse to bow to your power.

These children are alive, or they were when these pictures were taken. I pray they don't survive because life for them will be impossible. God bestow peace and mercy on them & give justice to the innocent who suffer.

An eye for an eye may make the whole world blind, but to travel the passive resistance road at this point in life will only get you trampled.

Aerial Shooting of Wolves in Alaska:

*sigh* people are just ar$eholes: am i a violent person ? Not really but give me half a chance to shoot Governor Murkowski and I will, know why ? He's allowing males, females and baby wolf pups to be freely hunted. Killing an innocent animal shows that you have no value for life aka life in general.
People who have no value for life don't care whether it's human or animal eg paedophile are sick people usually having some kind of horrific past 'experimenting' with small animals and later on, molesting children.

Please sign this petition : [link] to stop the aerial hunting of wolves. It's a small step, but it's a step in the right direction *so while my stilettos are itching to break a few of his fingers, I'll have to satisfy myself with this small bit for now*

One word at a time Colin ]]> ~Fatimah http://Fatimah.deviantart.com/journal/7480523/ http://Fatimah.deviantart.com/journal/7480523/ Sun, 01 Jan 2006 15:45:35 PST
Organizations like the United Nations, *which is a complete piece of bullshit and is funded largely by the US (no surprise there that it bows down and spreads it's legs everytime the US casts a frown in it's direction)* and the World Trade Organization - WTO *another piece of BS* are what gives people a false sense of security, making them think that there are places, people, organizations that act fairly and look out for their well being. *shakes head* What a farce.

The US GM industry has fought for the right *this words seems inappropriate with anything concerning the US government* to let their GM crops flood the United Kingdom, which had been established as a GM - Free Zone. The UK had been trying to implement healthier foods standards due to the stats that overall health was on a downhill run with obesity increasing alarmingly. They started to become one of the champions, so to speak, of the organic trade. Now to have GM crops flooding the UK market is a huge step backwards in what they were trying to achieve.

As usual the way the american government were SOBs. roping the EU in *through 'various' means pointing out that should the EU ignore the ruling given by the WTO, the EU would be required to pay the 'american government ' in the millions through import duties on european goods. So, lesson for today -> resist, you get blindsided from all round. People and life are expendable, world domination is the way forward : That's the US government in a nutshell.

The US GM industry is also lobbying the WTO *whom they're sleeping partners with it seems* to outlaw EU labelling rules, which requires products to state whether they're made with GM ingredients, saying that this is 'unfair discrimination' against GM foods. In other words, it's only a formality before the labelling requirements are no more. The WTO has also decided *for the benefit of all the EU states * that attempts made by the EU to ban the approval of GM products/crops would amount to 'illegal restraint of free trade.'
That means 'either you take our products in and say thanks or we'll make life extremely uncomfortable for the next 50 generations.'

The key factor in all this is that money talks, people spread their legs willingly - hoping for a piece of the pie or they get f*cked in everyway should they resist, a phrase my sister mentioned to me: 'the US F*cking the Free World'

How free and democratic is the US actually ? Seems that when they want something, they start shoving the term 'democracy' around but try dosing them with their own medicine and you get assassinated/bankrupt/jailed/mysteriously disappear, all of course under false pretenses eg. the farmer next door refuses to accept GM crops hence he is a world threat and the next terrorist. Don't be fooled into thinking that everything the US and it's bed-partners *Israel etc* deem as terrorists are that. News networks like CNN, CNBC etc are highly censored with the main objective of keeping it's viewers immersed in fear and paranoia, thereby backing and re-affirming that the government is indeed making the right decision. No better way to keep a people in check than feed it propaganda on a daily basis (exactly like 'The Village - movie by M Night Shayamalan')

In South Africa, when the fight against Apartheid was going on, one of the world's heroes, Nelson Mandela, was deemed a terrorist. The US government backed the apartheid and funded it no less. Democratic, honourable, free: the signature bald eagle ?? Not likely.

Where do most of the taxes that the american people moan and groan about paying, go to ?? The biggest sector of course, the arms department. Everytime you pay taxes, you're paying for another bullet to be shot, another innocent to be killed. If there ever was a great and noble reason to avoid paying taxes, this is it.

In the words of Staind - Price to Play:

Failed to see,
How destructive we can be.
Taking witout giving back,
Till the damage can be seen,
Can you see?
Can you see?

The more you take,
The more you blame,
But everything still feels the same.
The more you hurt,
The more you scream,
The price you play to play the game,
Then all you see,
And all you gain,
And all you step on with the shame,
There are no rules,
No one to blame,
The price to play the game.

Empathy, the chosen way to be,
Blindly look the other way,

Message below from official site:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Southern Ocean, International — Our two ships, the Esperanza and the Arctic Sunrise, today confronted the Fisheries Agency of Japan whaling fleet and called on it to "Leave the Southern Ocean Whale Sanctuary immediately." In inflatables carrying banners which read "defend the whales" and "stop the whaling," crew from the two ships declared their intention to stop the hunt.

While our ships were relaying their message, two 'catcher ships' arrived on the scene with dead minke whales hung from their hulls, ready to be transferred to the fleet's factory ship, the Nisshin Maru.

However, the Esperanza was blocking access to the Nisshin Maru's stern ramp and one 'catcher' tried to push the Esperanza out of the way twice. The Esperanza pulled back for the crew's safety and no casualties are reported.
Update, December 25: Despite a force 11 gale and winds of 40 knots, the Esperanza has managed to keep the whalers on the run. "It's a great Christmas present for the minke and fin whales," says Shane Rattenbury, our expedition leader in the Southern Ocean. "Our new ship the Esperanza has been able to keep up with the whaling mother ship, the Nisshin Maru, and has not observed any more whales killed since the 5 wesaw yesterday. We expect when the weather clears they will resume whaling, but we will continue to defend the whales."

Update, December 24: After 40 hours on the run, the Japanese fleet has recognised they're not going to shake us, and have resumed whaling, killing 5 minkes. We've been unable to launch inflatables due to rough seas, and are awaiting a break in the weather.

Update, December 23:They're on the run! The fleet decided they'd had enough after we held them to only 8 whale kills yesterday, and did what they've always done: sailed off at speed to get away from us. But we had a surprise for them. The newest addition to our fleet, the Esperanza, is the first ship we've owned that can match their power. The ship is doing us proud and staying with them. The whalers have spent the last 24 hours running from Greenpeace rather than hunting whales.

Update, December 22: Inflatables boats from the Esperanza and the Arctic Sunrise spent 9 hours in the freezing Antarctic whalers today saving whales.

Activists continually ran in front ot the explosive harpoon canon on board the "catcher ships." They successfully blocked clear shots with their presence, and by the use of high-powered water canons to spray a thick fan of water, obscuring the line of sight of the harpoons. Many whales were thus given a chance to escape.

One chase lasted for nearly two and half hours until eventually the whaler, the Yushin Maru, managed get a clear shot and despatched a deadly grenade-tipped harpoon into a minke whale.

8 minke whales were killed as part of the fleet's plan to take some 935 minke whales and 10 endangered fin whales for their so-called scientific research programme.

"This whale hunt is unnecessary, unjustified, and unwanted," said Expedition leader Shane Rattenbury. In a radio call to the whaling vessels, from the bridge of the Arctic Sunrise, Yuko Hirono, of Greenpeace Japan called upon the whalers to stop killing whales "and leave the internationally recognised Southern Ocean Whale Sanctuary."

Flying in the face of international protest and repeated calls from the International Whaling Commission (IWC) to stop its annual 'scientific' whale hunt, this year FAJ has more than double its planned catch of minke whales to 935 and added 10 endangered fin whales. Over the next 2 years 40 more fin whales will be added to the annual kill along with 50 humpback whales. Fin whales are the second largest creatures on earth, after blue whales.

"No one is fooled by the giant new "RESEARCH" sign which has been painted on the side of the fleet's factory ship, the Nisshin Maru. Once the whales have been measured and weighed by the 'scientists' the butchers get to work and the whales are cut up and boxed for market," said Rattenbury. "This is all about money and not science."

We are using every available means consistant with our principle of peaceful protest to bring the hunt to an early end and make it the last time the Sanctuary is breached by the whalers.

Below is a note sent by them to any and all who wish and are able to help:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This year Greenpeace is mounting the most ambitious ship expedition we have ever undertaken and we'd like you to come with us! We want a million Ocean Defenders sailing with us and we like you to be one of the first aboard. Please sign up to become an Ocean Defender today and join the call to action. The Esperanza, the newest of the Greenpeace ships, has been fitted with new hi-tech equipment for the voyage, including 24/7 internet that will enable the ship to interact with supporters, below the water line cameras, a Remote Operating Vehicle camera and web cams. Please sign up to become an Ocean Defender now and join us on this amazing journey!

[link]

The Esperanza will take us through four oceans over 14 months, all the while mapping and demonstrating the need for a global network of marine reserves. We will witness and be part of a year in the life of our oceans. We will act to stop the destruction, see the beauty and value of those areas still untouched, and we will show where and how ocean parks will work.

Heading south from Cape Town, the Esperanza will be accompanied by the Arctic Sunrise on the first leg of this expedition. We are returning to the Southern Ocean Whale Sanctuary to defend the whales and call for an immediate end to the annual hunt. This year the Fisheries Agency of Japan intends to more than double its catch of minke whales to 935. Adding insult to injury this year 10 fin whales will be added along with 50 humpback whales. Both are recognised as endangered species.

We are not going to stand by. We're heading out in search of the hunters and to take a non-violent stand against them. This is where you come in - we are calling on the global community to help us hunt the hunters. The law of 6 degrees of separation means that you, know someone who knows someone who knows someone who knows precisely where the whaling fleet will be in the next few months. We have our own methods of locating them, but this is always a very difficult task. If you know someone who works in maritime tracking, satellite imagery, the Japanese fishing industry, cetacean research, who's doing an ocean crossing in the Pacific or working in some other field that might have first hand knowledge of where the fleet will be, pass this message along. The ship we are seeking is named the Nisshin Maru, gross tonnage 8,030, length 130 metres, radio call sign JJCJ. She is the factory ship and will be accompanied by three catchers, Kyo Maru No. 1 with radio call sign JKNG, the Yushin Maru call sign JLZS and Yushin Maru No. 2, call sign JPPV. These ships left Shimonoseki, Southern Japan at 10am local time on the 8th of November. You can send the information to:
hunt-the-hunters@greenpeace.org All information will be treated in strictest confidence.

Its time to stand up and start defending our oceans now. You can be one in a million - become an Ocean Defender now.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Anyway men, women, children those of you who are able to help, whether its by a donation, letter sent on behalf of them *to any of the various campaigns on Greenpeace.org* or by becoming a volunteer, please help.

This world is hurting more than any of us can imagine, next time think before you buy coffee from Starbucks, which purchases coffee from some of the poorest countries in the world eg Ethiopia where the farmers have a mountain of debt left after selling the beans because starbucks have driven the prices lower than dirt in order to maximise their profit margin; or precooked Genetically Modified vegetables like McCain, Jolly Green Giant etc which are manufactured by Monsanto: genetically engineered foods. All of these things go unnoticed but make no mistake they pollute and strangle the earth's ability to heal which in turn makes for an extremely sick environment leading to sick people.

Being environemenally conscious is not only about picking up litter but supporting the organic, fair trade products that might cost a little more, but will help not only your health but also the planet to heal, not buying pre-cooked packaged vegetables, not littering your lawns with pesticides etc which kill the life of your lawn and the fauna that goes with it.

My point: there are ALWAYS ALTERNATIVES, so go out and find them.
Pass the message on to anyone who you think can help. You owe it to yourself to do the right thing.
