- Interview: Block the Empire ~ Serai
interviews a member of Block the Empire
Howdy! Ever heard of the term “full spectrum dominance?”
It actually precedes George Bush. And goes back to the time of Teflon Bill.
Well the plans are afoot in Montreal, no less.
- The World in Scope: Turkey: Seismic Fault or Watershed
~ Maya Khankhoje
You have a problem with fierce secularism, you say?
"Come, come whoever you are, Infidel, pagan or fire worshipper, Come
to me, Our convent is not a place of despair.” Turkey’s welcome
to the world.
- Art ~ Ellen Gabriel
More than ten years after the Oka crisis, Ellen Gabriel
in her depiction of the trees in the famous pine forest, has undertaken
to bear witness to the deep laceration affecting her and her own people,
her Québécois neighbours and wounded nature. Paradoxically,
a deep feeling of serenity emanates from these pastels.
- Commentary: Debating
Indo-Pak Relations ~ Imtiaz Alam
Peace, you say, is possible? Would it not be dangerous
for those who dream of the NEW American century that India and Pakistan
become friends, have a joint currency and form a strong economic Bloc?
- Film Review: Unlikely Commodities ~ Mirella
Bontempo
The film is far from sentimentalism so the stillborn
love story between ‘illegals’ will never come to fruition. Yet,
the dream is one of fantasy – better life at all costs including self-subordination,
servicing bosses and bartering organs for false documents.
