A friend writes from Tehran:
Here the political weather is terrible. You might know that the parliamentary election is near and the reformist nearly are not allowed to be involved. About 80 per cent of reformist candidates has been labeled as unqualified by the Government. Mr Khatami and Rafsanjani had a meeting with the Supreme Leader but it had no fruit. We are waiting for much worse days.
The Iranian film festival has been just finished with no movie by great directors of the country. All movies were about Islam, religious rites and Imams. Good for Ahmadinejad!
I love my country but i really hate it. That’s iranian life. Always dealing with dilemmas.
Ahmadinejad and his clique are turning his country into a fundamentalist backwater, censoring at will.
The same is happening here in Australia in more ways than one.
The Ausrtalian 911 truth tour has had its booking at the Power House Museum cancelled. Suspiciosly, for ‘operational reasons”. Strange that, the organisers have material supporing that the Power House had an e-mail petition referring to the organisers as nutters etc. Some 26 ‘anonymous’ persons control free debate and discussion in Australia!!
So the Pope, who put Gallielo (excuse the spelling)into prison for his scientific thoughts has nothing on the powerhouse, considering that the powerhouse represents the development of science.
So the Powerhouse does not want the science and evidence explained to explain the collapse of the twin towers and builing No 7.
So do we live in Iran, China or some other controlled society?
No, we live in Australia and Australian values apply, it is Unaustralian to welch on a deal.
No worries those who were shafted have found a better venue.
So Minister for tourism in NSW, better get on to this, Sydney is looking like the censorship city.
Who would want to have a convention of crystal ball gazers, scientologist or even economists, when the venue can pull the rug and stuff up all the plans for international visitors.
Hey Iemma, you have another stuff up on your doorstep.
Max.
