terrifying.

the live stream report on AJE was reporting that 2 col.'s defected to Malta after being ordered to fire on their own people. And repeated the reports of Libyan diplomats quitting. Could be positive I suppose.

Watch the video of Gaddafi on TV saying he's in Tripoli.

I hesitated to link this at first, some of you may know how personally I take this and that's not what I want this blog to be about. Also I thought that the initial claims that it was an attempt by Mubarak supporters to draw anger against the protesters was, well, overly speculative (although if its true it worked; just have a look at some of the reactionary blogs for that!). Not that I know (it just looked like taking advantage to me).

The idea of this

Hi all,

my aim here is to create a list of injustices. Not a comprehensive list, nor a particularly novel list. Just a list of what is happening. The point being to remind those of us who live well of some of the things we should care about. I would also, from time to time, list events that give us reason to be optimistic about the future.

I will generate this list from 3 main sorces
1) the mainstream English speaking media, eg. ABC, BBC, AJ, DW, NPR etc etc etc- please do send any stories I miss!
2) my own experiences
3) your experiences

Now as to source 3, feel free to e-mail anything you wish to make public. I will check over each story for obvious flaws in reasoning and personal abuse and may make requests for parts to be rewritten. For honesty's sake submissions of this nature will be labeled as 'one-sided' and 'unverified' and well be posted with requests for alternative perspectives.
