Hypocrisy Alert

I was just announced that George Galloway, an outspoken peace activist and British MP, will not be allowed into Canada because of his ties with a terrorist organization. This organization being Hamas. However, it has been noted throughout the blogging world of bit of hypocrisy that Jason Kenney, minister of immigration and the person in charge of Galloway's denied access, has been involved with since it was he who addressed a anti-Iranian government group, the People's Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI), a year after it was declared a terrorist organization by the Canadian government. 

I first heard of the piece a few days ago on a progressive blog by an American by birth, Canadian by choice.

Books not Bombs!

While the US wages a war with Islamic terrorists along the Pakistani Border, American ex-pats are waging a more important campaign. A campaign of education and information. Education is the only thing that can save the world from humans and save humans from other humans. Women's literacy is the single most important criteria to know how "developed" a nation is. Education is also critical for the consolidation of democracy. Educated women are also far more likely to have fewer children to aid in our over population crisis. The importance of education and information should not be over estimated.  Education is Liberation!

Terrorizing Dissent

A four part series of documentary films were introduced to me last fall that covered the protests at the Republican National Convention (RNC) in St. Paul Minnesota last August. The footage is quite shocking as police proceed to make mass arrests and use whatever means necessary to disperse the crowds. Over 30 journalists were arrested during raids and mass arrests including Amy Goodman from Democracy Now! The footage has very little commentary but very shocking footage and I highly recommend it if you love direct action the way I do. Follow the link here. 

Break Dancing in Phnom Penh

Since this "blog" is for my Globalization class I thought this video was the perfect of example of globalization. It is a video about a youth center in the capital of Cambodia. This youth group teaches break dancing but also life and social skills.
