THOUGHT FOR THE DAY!

"Imperialism today is taking place in the context of...the 'universalization' of capitalism. It is not now primarily a matter of territorial conquest or direct military or colonial control. It is not now a matter of capitalist powers invading non-capitalist powers in order to bleed them dry directly and by brute force. Now it is more a matter of ensuring that the forces of the capitalist market prevail in every corner of the world (even if this means marginalizing and impoverishing parts of it), and of manipulating those market forces to the advantage of the most powerful capitalist economies and the United States in particular." ... "Military force is still central to the imperialist project, in some ways more than ever."-- Political scientist Ellen Meiksins-Wood, Z magazine Nov 1999, p26

 

HAPPY 'KICK OUT THE GOVERNMENT' DAY!!!

 

Jewish state shuts down three Hebron radio stations

Israeli security forces raided and shut down three local radio stations in the Occupied West Bank town of Hebron on Wednesday, witnesses and the radios' owners said. "They raided our offices, they confiscated our equipment, and they detained everyone," said Ayman al-Qawasmi, the owner of Radio Hurriya. "This has happened before," he said. At least two people were arrested during the raids, including Mahmoud Kanabi, an on-air broadcaster, witnesses said. None of the three stations were linked to Palestinian political factions. An Israeli military spokesman said the raid was aimed solely at removing "illegal antennae whose frequencies disrupted media communications," without providing further details.

Webmaster's Commentary: 

You do NOT arrest the on-air talent over an antenna violation!
