Pilger:
A wall of silence has always surrounded the British military, its arcane rituals, rites and practices and, above all, its contempt for the law and natural justice in its various imperial pursuits... An even more imposing wall of silence ensures that the British public remains largely unaware of the industrial killing of civilians in Britain's modern colonial wars.Pilger cites historian Mark Curtis, who says "Britain bears direct responsibility for between four million and six million deaths" since 1945.
[T]he Brown government is spending £11bn of taxpayers' money on a huge, privatised military academy in Wales, which will train foreign soldiers and mercenaries recruited to the bogus "war on terror". With arms companies such as Raytheon profiting, this will become Britain's "School of the Americas", a centre for counter-insurgency (terrorist) training and the design of future colonial adventures.We don't want to hear about it, John.
It has had almost no publicity.
PERSONAL ANECDOTE: I was walking through Surfers Paradise one lunchtime last week and saw a blonde hoe in black lingerie with tits the size of Texas. It was only the next day that I realized it must have been Pamela Anderson, whose $500,000.00 walk-on appearance in Big Brother was not enough to save the show from being axed. Pammy's protest outside the local KFC got more media coverage than any local anti-war protests ever have or will. Yeah, we are all very, very concerned about those poor, suffering chickens, you see...
