Anarchism A Google Trend

I looked up Anarchism on Googles new tool; Google Trends and found that Greek was the language used most often to look up Anarchism. No surprize there since Anarchy comes from Greek; Anarkos. Which may explain why Anarchy gets confused with Kaos sometimes, exactly Mr. Shmart.

English was second and Swedish third, yes there is a large Anarcho Syndicalist movement in Sweden. Proving my thesis that you need a strong social democratic movement and government to create a condition for a strong extra-parliamentary left opposition, the very ocean within which anarchism spreads.

New Zealand topped the list for regions where references to anarchism can be found. Canada I am pleased to say came ahead of the U.S. and U.K. in sixth place. Not to shabby.

When it came to cities Vancouver came second behind Dublin (which is home to the Platformist Anarchist movement) and ahead of Auckland. The US. West Coast was well repersented of course with Seattle, Portland and San Fransisco. Surprising London England home of Freedom Magazine was missing.

The four most popular articles since 2004 are;

	Indigenism, Anarchism, and the State ZNet - Apr 29 2005
	The triumph of anarchism Hindu - Dec 10 2005

Now compare that to Libertarian which is dominated by English language and American sites and you can see which is the real Internationalist movement.

Macho Kinsella

Macho Warren Kinsella was in fine form the other day proving that not only is he a Zionist syncophant but he is sexist as well.

Calling Tor Star blogger Antonia Zerbias a 'screecher', the sort of epithat used for women, oh like Sheila Copps, because in his conspiracy adled brain he see's her focusing on the Asper media chain, of which the National Pest his employer is part of, because, gasp they are Jewish. Hence she must be...wait for it...an anti-semite.

This guy never gives up on the low blows and cheap shots, and seeing anti-semites everywhere. He is in a sense the mirror image of the fascists whom he opposes, they too see conspiracies everywhere.

Maybe she is criticising the Asper chain because they are a Media Monopoly, like their predecesor the notorious criminal and Dark Lord of Media; Conrad Black. Whom they replaced when they bought him out. Wait lets not criticize Lord Black, his wife is Jewish. Warren is Canada's other loonie.

Warren is so predictable, when it comes to anything to do with Israel. The illegal state that currently rules over occupied Palestine. And now he is defending the yellow journalism at the Pest, his employer, when they make false claims about Iran. Of course Warren like other Zionist apologists see a nuclear Iran as far scary than a nuclear Israel.

At present, Iran has little more than primitive gropings towards the technology needed for nuclear self-defence. Yet these are being presented as a casus belli by Bush, Blair, Chirac and Olmert, whose own states are armed with hundreds—in the American case, thousands—of nuclear weapons. Whining and cavilling over the small print of Vienna protocols, however warranted, is a futile pursuit for Iranian diplomacy. The country would do better to choose the right moment and simply withdraw from the Non-Proliferation Treaty. Of all the anachronistic emperors in the world, it is the most brazenly naked. There is not a shred of justification for the oligopoly of the present nuclear powers, so hypocritical it does not dare even speak its name—Israel, with 200 nuclear bombs, is never mentioned. There will never be nuclear disarmament until it is broken. Tariq Ali: Mid-Point in the Middle East?

Harper Says No Nukes For India

Finally the Harpocrite government has decided to take a stand in opposition to the U.S. In this case over the USA's new found nuclear alliance with India.

The real reason of course is less about enlightened politics than it is about dealing with American attempts to force Canada and Australia to clean up their nuclear waste, a punitive attempt to make US uranium exports appear more competitive.

That and of course the promotion of US nuclear plants, which are far less safe than the Canadian CANDU reactors. Harpers announcement about India, while good PR will probably last as long as when he and Howard get an agreement from their pal Bush to include them in his new nuclear pact. Yep colour me cycnical about Harper ever doing the 'right thing'.

Mr. Harper, speaking at a joint news conference with the Australian leader, said the Conservatives have not yet established a nuclear policy. But he believes nuclear reactors will be an important source of energy in the decades ahead.

But the question of supplying India is another matter, he suggested. "It's an issue we are looking at with some degree of caution."

Canadians are particularly sensitive on this point, he said, because India used Canadian-supplied technology in the early 1970s to put together its first crude nuclear bomb.

Mr. Harper said Canada will be looking to see if India signs on to international non-proliferation agreements as Ottawa decides whether to supply that country with nuclear technology.

Harper also said his government is "looking carefully" at a United States proposal that would compel uranium exporting countries such as Canada to repatriate and dispose of spent nuclear fuel.

The Bush administration has proposed creating the Global Nuclear Energy Partnership, a consortium of nations that supply nuclear fuel in order to better control weapons proliferation. Canada and Australia together export 43 per cent of the world's uranium.

Neither Harper nor Howard directly addressed the question of repatriating nuclear fuel waste, but both indicated nuclear power is part of their countries energy future and that the U.S. proposal is in play.

Gee Thats What I Said

The strong Canadian dollar is doing the Bank of Canada's job for it -- keeping a lid on inflation -- and in doing so is saving each Canadian household hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars, and the economy billions.

Yep thats what I said here. To those right wingers who say I don't undertand economics. Nyah, Nyah.
