The articles and thoughts on this site are made available to you if you wish to read more or perhaps different material on various issues. Whether you use any of this this material to assist you or not, is entirely a matter for you and you alone.
The material on this site might help you in that task. Or you may think that opinions expressed here are of no use to you. Once again that is entirely a matter for you in your own personal assessment. It is your choice and your decision. Perhaps you may feel that the only power that is legitimate is the power you have over your own thoughts, opinions and ideas and that should never be surrendered or given to a person or group of people with no legitimate claim to speak for anyone or everyone an an issue.
You may very well find that your own assessments and thoughts are better founded where you have done your own independent research and fact finding exercises. It is always wise to look at issues for yourself and make your own decision based on your own interpretation of what you may feel the facts really are.
As at the 20th of September 2012 there is something like 12,600 posts on this site.
Please note that as I am using a new program some of the photo material is related to the topic and not necessarily on the topic in question. This is a site of political and social analysis That includes many topics like the environment, antiwar, anarchism,democracy and others.
What you read and what your views are is entirely a matter for you. You may or may not agree with material on this site, but it is only there to assist you in coming to a view that is yours and yours alone free from propaganda one way or the other.
It is very important that with the resources of the internet you are able to do all your own research and come to your own view independent of what is said by politicians, the mainstream media or any other forces used by the elite who rule the planet.
You can of course agree with those views, once again it is entirely a matter for you. The only suggestion made here is that you decide from your own research. That can be done through newspapers, journals, magazines and most importantly books as well as discussion with people who are prepared to discuss matters with you. A great deal of fear is present in the world at the moment about the consequences of thinking about many topics, you need not be afraid if your views are held not as retribution for perceived wrongs but as suggestions, theories and ideas for the future advancement of the human race and the ongoing availability of reasoned, logical and clear thought.
This site wishes you all the best in making your own decision.About 30 articles first appear. You can find more by clicking onto “older” or using the search on the front page. I am taking some time updating the whole site. It seems to have taken an eternity but I am getting there. Please be patient. I intend publishing more of my own articles and reducing the number of lead ins to other articles. But the difference will not be noticeable. When I find out how to keep one article first I will use that as a news update to read at your convenience. In a way it is upwards and onwards from here.
Remember the main areas targeted are the imperial project, capitalism and the assorted elitist leeches and slave politicians. The whole point is to show that the people come first not second or where they are at the moment last. However, the final decision of course is yours and yours alone depending on the nature and quality of information you have, That is why you are able to accept or reject anything you read and use your own research and logic or just rely on what you already believe. Propaganda only works on an enslaved or willing listener.

This is a further note made 22nd March 2011. I am now trying to use as many of the features of the new program as possible it is still a learning curve but I keep trying. I wanted to remind readers that many if not most of the articles trace to non mainstream media outlets and opinions there. I make my own comments as often as possible bit find that at times it is unnecessary. You may feel otherwise.
Let me know. Although I have a little difficulty keeping up with comments etc I keep trying. I like to reply to as many as possible. If you have taken the time and effort to read and comment the least I can do is the same as far as your thoughts are concerned. I do not yet know if my replies are notified to you other than by you looking at the site and article. If that is available I will put it in place asap.
Here are a few links to sites you may find of use.

I am interested in the article The Legend of Sirte. I cannot read it because part of the article is obscured by the Categories bar.
I have that difficulty from time to time. Sometimes unfortunately it goes unnoticed. I will see what I can do. sorry to have taken such a long time to reply. George Ikners
Dear George – I set up the above website and blog in Feb. Initially you sent some trackbacks which I approved. Since then I’ve inadvertently deleted those track backs – as I’m still new to WordPress and learning. I’m not asking you to reset them. Merely to apologise and hope that you will visit my site again and cross ref it.
regards
keeper
