Washington, who was crushed to death by an Israeli bulldozer in Rafah on 16
March 2003, while undertaking nonviolent direct action to protect the home of a
a Palestinian doctor, his wife, and three children from demolition.<BR><BR><A

death expert: Berg video staged - 22nd May, 04</A><BR>America, you're
brainwashed every second you look at the idiot tube. Prime example: the Nicholas
Berg "beheading" that aroused so much outrage and, of course, additional hatred

propaganda ministers tell them to believe.<BR><BR><A

Lie - 22nd May, 04</A><BR>The frightening shark swimming with toothy grin in a

the glass. The shark is in a world of its own, with its own reality. Like the
shark, Americans don't see the people outside the glass. It is as though America
is in a 3,000 mile wide terrarium, an immense biosphere which has cut it off
from the rest of the world and left it to pick its own way down the path of
history.<BR><BR><A href="http://www.globalecho.org/view_article.php?aid=254"

to Lesser-Evil Electoral Politics - 22nd May, 04</A><BR>When I became a
socialist in the mid-1970s, my electoral perspective was shaped by the
Trotskyist milieu of the Socialist Workers Party. The SWP rejected any support
for the Democratic Party and viewed elections primarily as opportunities to lay
bare the 'shell game' of the twin capitalist parties.<BR><BR><A
