A month after the arrival of Scotland's Hate Crime Act and it appears reports of the demise of the Scottish Enlightenment may have been premature, no thanks to the SNP but due to the doughty spirit of the Scots.

Should governments be able to censor online content for the entire world? That's what Australia is claiming the right to do. But do they really think China and Russia should be able to choose what the world sees?

We all make our regimes.
We are the Mass.

This weekend is when people remember the Palm.
The United Nations, child of Roosvelt, adopted the symbol of the planet seen from the north flanked by two palms as a symbol of peace.
The United Nations, has not served to unify nations, only to be the forum for protracted and tortous relations between states.
Meanwhile since the days of RoosVelt death and terror and division have stalked this earth.

The Palm is not only a symbol of peace, it is symbol of cleansing.

Your ancestors each Spring took the Palms from the walls and roofs of their houses and burnt them. Some were kept aside and woven into complex representations of fertility, birth and nature.

Your ancestors realising the transcendent truth within these reptitions of behaviour, deemed to continue their presence in the program.

You don't need Horoscopes because you don't know either the Stars or Planets.

You need Sport.
You need Art.
You need reminding on a regular basis.
You need your true beliefs.
You need your children.
You need your Liberty which begins as the word "auto-nomy" with "self".
You need your Logos.
you need your Music.
You need your Science.
You need each other.
You need remember this is
Your Regime.

Make it.
There are no Utopias nor Dystopias
Just what you may remember
what you May Be.
for May Day for Every Day.

Basta! as Marcus who accompanied the 23 Zapatistas told you,
of little boots, Caligula
who as the 4º Caesar
is rememberd for
oderint dum metuant
"let them fear and hate us."
Basta!


rather now:-
NON EXERCITUS NEQUE THESAURI
PRAESIDIA REGNI SUNT VERUM AMICI.
(Sallust).
not by military might but the quality of its friendships is the security of a kingdom.

= You were All once Kings.
Your Regime.

Thank you for the Space

have a nice Week.
A Happy Monday
a Ruby tuesday
a creepy wednesday
a thursday
a Good Good Friday
and the Weekend.
and of course your non banking day nexy Monday. when the whole "cycle" starts again.

Central Africa is not on the tourism menu.
You will remember Rwanda.
You will remember Cambodia.
You will remember Vietnam.
You will remember Congo-

The uncertain project of Barcelona's major Joan Clos, for Forum 2004, which has invited certain of the most untrusted corporations on this planet to "sponser" a building of quite unusual architecture in this most wonderful city is nearing it's _official launch date_.

Meanwhile, on March 19th the various social assemblies of this country, launched their Forum, Fotut, counter Forum whatever it is to be called.

On the street, away from the TV away from the glowing twinkling Electric Lights of RazzmaTazz away from all that which offers us so little. You are invited to take part.

Bilbao for many years now has housed some of the best examples of Art on the Planet. You are invited to visit the Basque to meet the Basques and if it takes your fancy you may also see some of the best examples of Art on the Planet in the now quite famous guggenheim Museum.
You will also be able to get public transport or indeed hire a bike or maybe make friends with a cheerful local and go to the Pyrennes which stretch from the Atlantic to the Mediterranean passing through the Basque Aragon, Andorra, France and Catalonia.
Beautiful views to be had.

You are also welcome in Greece, where the fires of the Olympiad have been lit, which symbolise the entreatment of the ancient Hellenic peoples who have long since passed into other countries to those they understood as Gods upon that mountain that they might guard and favour the endevour of sport and play.
Fair Sport and Fair Play.

You are also welcome in China, where people will be happy to share their food, water and genius with you as is the meaning of Hospitality.

You are not particularly welcome yet in the Western States of the Union, for they have long suffered problems which soon will be forgotten.

Your pennies to help make the black babies white, (which the older amongst you shall remember) have been well invested in the main, despite the presence of more than a few father Teds. Not a single baby is going to be white unless it's parents are, and you know if white parents have a black baby, well you just wonder and say-

I really don't know.
I really didn't know.
¿Why the fuck do I think I know now?

on the online pages of Euskal Herria's
indymedia, if you've spanish you'll be able to read it and tell people about the nasty western states plan for Colombia.

The explanation of this plan, has been hindered much by people like that alledged racist, and confirmed drug addict of the Fine Gael party, who sits not too far from the pseudo Democrats and Progressive alledged racists and confirmed black balled, and not too far from the Fianna Fail who as you know aren't the "fianna fail" in the houses of your government which is easy to find between the street of Kildare and that big square where punky Oscar sits on the rock watching the American funded institute.

They hindered the explanation by bringing drugs into it.
PAY YOUR DEALER.
They hindered the explanation of the plan by bringing in terrorism.
STOP THE TERRORISTS
They hindered the explanation by protecting the "pro-Coke multi-national lobby" rather than the poor effin farmers who grow, have grown and will grow one of the plants of the copia, known as the gifts.
They hindred the explanation so many ways that they have come to be seen as what they are.
¿'tis a vicious circle to be trapped in no?
If they can't even bottle water without putting in poison, do you trust them with a secret formula?

If you've no spanish, you could just look at some of the best examples of Art on the Planet which are housed in Bilbao on this nice english language site:-

hope you're all reading the books, and enjoying creative commons, copyleft and so on from last week.
(http://www.indymedia.ie/newswire.php?story_id=64031&search_text=sunday%20papers)
but ye still have time for good music, and gladly the vinyl is still knocking around, so listen to Brother Bob, Mr Marley again.
His LP (long playing recording) Legend is really very good, as is Exodus, and lots of your new found non Spanish or non English speaking pals would love to read the lyrics and know what the great man was singing about.
so if you feel like doing something _good_,
go translate Brother Bob Marleye for your all your brothers and sisters, I&I sort of stuff.

"& if you don't like my fire, don't come knocking around, coz I'm going to burn one down." is another popular reggae/ska (what category is it in now) singersongwriter who said it quite nicely too.

If you don't want to translate these lyrics, then @ least phone your local radio station and pressure nicely that this be on the wavelengths. If you don't want to use a public telephone having been psychologically damaged by watching and rewatching Matrix on dvd or pal video, then you could just get your guitar out, light that spliff and go and sing it on the street. You may feel less paranoid, ¿who knows?.
