Andrew is a 40 year old guy from Wellington, New Zealand
My name is Andrew.My partner Kaori is from Osaka and we have 3 daughters:Mira 2oo1; Rae 2oo3;Rika 2oo5. I am a builders labourer. I enjoy being insulted after posting in a forum. It is my adversaries way of admitting they lack the intellectual capacity to reason coherently.I believe the best thing that can be said about bigotry is that it is a waste of time and energy.

If Nothing Else, Save Farming | Use Celsias.co.nz -...
Rated • 1 review • environment, peak oil, sustainability, farming • celsias.co.nz
When people speak about oil running out they tend to focus on cars not having enough petrol, the dependance on oil goes deeper than this. Our food supply, in the west anyway, is lagely dependant on oil for a variety of reasons from the production of fertilizer to the transportation of stock and produce. That is why it is of vital importance for the modern farm to by weened off its dependance on oil.
"According to farm scientists at Cornell University, cultivating one hectare of maize in the United States requires 40 litres of petrol and 75 litres of diesel."

Rated • 1 review • alternative news, israel, news, palestine • btselem.org
B'Tselem offers their critique of the pitiful Israeli attempts to investigate the crimes committed against the Palestinian people by the IDF during Operation Cast Lead:
" Investigations of suspicions in complaints by B'Tselem:
1. The killing of `Atta `Azzam, 46, and his two sons, Mahmud, 13, and Hassan, 2, by a Flechette shell fired into the yard of their house in the Mughraqa area, on 6 January `09.
2. The killing of Ria Abu Hajaj, 64, and her daughter Majda Abu Hajaj, 37, by fire from a tank while they held white flags, in Juhar a-Dik, on 4 January '09 (HRW also submitted a complaint about this incident)
3. The killing of eight members of the Abu Halima family, one of them Shahd, 2, in Beit Lahiya, by a phosphorous bomb, and firing at family members as they sought to flee the area, on 4 January `09.
4. The killing of six members of the `Abd a-Dayem family and the wounding of ten others by a Flechette shell fired at a mourning tent in Beit Hanun, on 5 January `09.
5. The killing of Rawhiya a-Najar, 48, by a soldier's gunfire while she was waving a white flag, and the wounding of the ambulance driver who had come to evacuate her, in Khan Yunis, on 13 January `09.
6. The use of Sami Muhammad and Ra'd Abu Seif, from the `Abd Rabo neighborhood in the Jabalya refugee camp, as human shields, on 5 January '09.
7. The killing of Mustafa Barakeh and Rasmi Abu Jarir while they were riding in a passenger car in Deir el-Balah, on 15 January '09.
Investigations of suspicions in complaints by Human Rights Watch:
Three cases involving the suspected shooting of persons waving white flags:
1. The killing of Ibtisam al-Qnu', 40, in the al-`Atatrah neighborhood of Beit Lahiya, on 4 January '09.
2. The killing of Nada al-Mardi, 5, in the al-`Atatrah neighborhood of Beit Lahiya, on 5 January '09.
3. The killing of Ibrahim Mu'in Juha, 14, the in a-Zeitun neighborhood of Gaza City, on 5 January '09.
Investigations of suspicions in complaints by al-Mezan:
1. The suspected killing of the sisters Su'ad and Amal `Abd Rabo, 7 and 2 respectively, the wounding of their sister and grandmother, and the destruction of the family's home, in the Izbet `Abd Rabo neighborhood of the Jablaya refugee camp, while they were holding white flags. Also, the killing of Adham Khamis Nasir, 37, as he tried to aid in evacuating Su'ad `Abed Rabo - it is unclear whether the latter incident is also being investigated (HRW also submitted a complaint about this incident).
2. The use of the child `Alaa al-`Attar and others from his family as human shields in the al-`Atatrah neighborhood of Beit Lahiya.
3. The use of Majdi `Abd Rabo as a human shield in the Izbet `Abd Rabo neighborhood of the Jabalya refugee camp.

Z Magazine - Liberation Psychology
Rated • 1 review • activism, alternative news, liberation psychology • zcommunications.org
I love the language in this essay, so I felt the need to offer a couple of quotes before I finished reading it:
Martin-Baro points out that, "What has happened to Latin American psychology is similar to North American psychology at the beginning of the twentieth century, when it ran so fast after scientific recognition and social status that it stumbled.... In order to get social position and rank, it negotiated how it would contribute to the needs of the established power structure."
"A long list of school critics--from Henry David Thoreau to John Dewey, John Holt, Paul Goodman, Jonathan Kozol, Alfie Kohn, Ivan Illich, and John Taylor Gatto--have pointed out that a school is nothing less than a miniature society. What young people experience in schools is the chief means of creating our future society. Schools are routinely places where kids, through fear, learn to comply with authorities for whom they often have no respect and to regurgitate material they often find meaningless."
Ã, Television: In his book Four Arguments for the Elimination of Television (1978), Jerry Mander (after reviewing totalitarian critics such as
George Orwell, Aldous Huxley, Jacques Ellul, and Ivan Illich) compiled a list of the "Eight Ideal Conditions for the Flowering of Autocracy."
Television, Mander claimed, helps create all eight conditions for
breaking a population: (1) occupies people so that they don't know
themselves-and what a human being is; (2) separates people from one another;
(3) creates sensory deprivation; (4) occupies the mind and
fills the brain with prearranged experience and thought; (5) encourages
drug use to dampen dissatisfaction (while TV itself produces a
drug-like effect, in 1997 the U.S. Food and Drug Administration
compounded this by relaxing the rules of prescription-drug
advertising); (6) centralizes knowledge and information; (7) eliminates
or "museumizes" other cultures to eliminate comparisons; and (8)
redefines happiness and the meaning of life. -

ei: The New York Mets and the business of terrorism
Rated • 2 reviews • alternative news, israel, news, palestine • electronicintifada.net
The racist group The Hebron Fund is holding a fundraising dinner:
"...New York Mets were hosting a fundraiser for the nonprofit Hebron Fund at Citi Field in support of the Israeli settlers in the occupied West Bank city of Hebron."
"This year's Hebron Fund dinner will "honor" Hebron settler and spokesman Noam Arnon (whose picture is featured with other "Hebron Fund and Hebron Community Leaders" on the Hebron Fund website). In 1990, Arnon told Israel Radio that three Jewish militants, convicted of car-bombings that killed three Palestinians and maimed two Palestinian mayors, were "heroes" who sacrificed themselves "for the security of Jews." In 1995, Arnon was further quoted by the Associated Press when he called Baruch Goldstein, another settler who slaughtered 29 Palestinians at prayer in Hebron and injured more than 100 others, an "extraordinary person" denied "historical justice."" -

NSA has an astonishingly massive collection of declassified documents from various US government agencies.

World on course for catastrophic 6& rise, reveal...
Rated • 7 reviews • environment, global warming, climate change • independent.co.uk
The worst case scenarios are becoming more and more probable as scientists studying the latest data make their conclusions public:
" ...average global temperatures rising by up to 6C by the end of the century, leading scientists said yesterday. Such a rise - which would be much higher nearer the poles - would have cataclysmic and irreversible consequences for the Earth, making large parts of the planet uninhabitable and threatening the basis of human civilisation."
There is no way of putting a positive spin on this, chances are the human species faces the prospect of extinction in the not too distant future.
