Tsunami Brings About Renewed Military Ties
This is what the mainstream media had to say, essentially that the Indonesian government had done some bad things in the past, but now Condoleezza Rice and others were saying they have mended their ways, and besides, now they are partners with us in the war on terror, so it helps to engage them and continue to foster an ever-more democratic Indonesia. After you read the Reuters article below, please read what the following people offer about the relationship between the U.S. military, oil corporations, and the Indonesian government over the years and see if that doesn’t put things in a different perspective: (1) Moen: Arming Dictators, (2) Goodman: Exception to the Rulers Part 2 and Part 3, (3) Aceh: An Interview with Allan Nairn and (4)Masuoka: 益岡賢さんの東チモールおよびインドネシアページ

Seeds of Death, by Chris Hunt
From the company that brought us DDT
A brand new kind of technology
Terminator Seeds is the name of the game
A trick, slick idea, as sick as the name
Plant some seeds and raise a crop
Do it once and reach a full stop
Each tiny seed is a ticking bomb
Waiting to go sterile when the harvest is done
now the future is dark indeed
polluting the earth with the terminator seed
Terminator, Terminator, Terminator seeds of death
Terminator, Terminator, Freedom screams her last breath
