Thanks on the compliments for the PTT! It was born out of months of censorship and harassment and getting my blog blocked. I ended up opening more blogs and Gilad and I just said, Hell with it, we are going into business for ourselves. But, I've also been working together on projects with Haitham for years, and thought this was the chance to really work on one together, so there we have the new site! I am so glad you like it, so far, I am really pleased and we expect it to grow and become useful to everyone, writers and readers. We have no will be be moderate or politically correct, but just truthful and able to analyse things as best we can. Iqbal and others are participating too, (and probably you will too!) so it will be a big group effort that we are excited about!
I have to prepare the article on the Raytheon Nine... their trial is coming up and I haven't even started!!!! Wish me luck!!
Here, the Zionization of Canada is going really well. On Sunday they interrupted the regular programmation on Vision TV to show us a very biaised documentary titled "My Israel." Imagine? I was sad and angry after the show.
Here, any one who talks about the genocide is seen now as a "terrorist sympathizer." It is truly sickening. No effort is spared to Zionize Canadian minds and I am truly ashamed for the actions of this Zionist puppet PM of ours...
It is now considered "hate crime" to say anything against Israel in this country. There is no mention of the genocide in Palestine. Never. This afternoon, I found out from an internet cafe that there is no way to get real news from a public area. So if one doesn't have a computer, it is impossible to access real news, not even AlJazeera...
Hope all is well in your sunny corner of the world....
love,
Crystal
I have to dedicate more time to the blog, but now... busy with "paying work"....
Hope you are doing well! lots of love, mary
Thanks for the compliment
Love,
Crystal
read just your article on Lebanon and the use of DU-bombs
by the zionists. Very good job. Gratulations.
Tomorrow I'm going on a journey to Germany and on to France,
Spain, Portugal, Marocko, back to Spain, France, Switzerland, Germany and back. To see lots of friends in all those countries.
But my laptop is with me so in between I'll connect to the big
wide world.
Have a good time
Einar
