 Hasta la vista baby!
Brenda Martin who languishes in a Mexican jail got a visit from Harpers Mouthpiece; Jason Kenney yesterday. After the media focused on her case of Mexican injustice, the Harper government has finally acted.
After two years. However considering the corruption of the Mexican
judiciary and cops Kenney should have simply taken a bushel of money
with him and paid off all concerned, and Ms. Martin could have been
winging her way home.
Instead after a weak tea protest she
has been promised yet another trial on trumped up charges, in thirty
days. Thirty more days, perhaps Kenney should share her cell to insure
she gets her trial. After all it's his government that got her put
there in the first place. Despite Harpers protests to the contrary.

This from the FAIR (Fairness & Accuracy In Reporting) website. I didn't see much coverage by Canadian news sources either. Instead we are shown the fun and games of celebs playing hockey with the forces 'over there' and taking photos in front of the Stanley Cup. Click on the FAIR link above and on the links in the story to get more information.
 'These are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman.' - Thomas Paine

Why Are Winter Soldiers Not News?
3/19/08
Dozens of veterans of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars gathered in Silver
Spring, Maryland last weekend for the Winter Soldier: Iraq and
Afghanistan hearings (3/13/08-3/16/08), where they offered harrowing
testimony about atrocities they had witnessed or participated in
directly. The BBC predicted that the event, organized by Iraq Veterans Against the War, "could be dominating the headlines around the world this week" (3/7/08). The hearings were covered as far afield as the U.K. (Guardian, 3/17/08), Australia (Australian Broadcasting Corporation, 3/14/08), Croatia (Javno, 3/16/08), and Iran (Press TV, 3/14/08). Yet there has been an almost complete media blackout on this historic news event in the U.S. corporate media.

 Ostara: fertility goddess
From Jennifer Emick,
Your Guide to Alternative Religions.
Have
you ever wondered where the celebration of the Christian holiday
celebrating the resurrection of Christ acquired its unusual name and
odd symbols of colored eggs and rabbits?
The answer lies in the
ingenious way that the Christian church absorbed Pagan practices. After
discovering that people were more reluctant to give up their holidays
and festivals than their gods, they simply incorporated Pagan practices
into Christian festivals. As recounted by the Venerable Bede, an early
Christian writer, clever clerics copied Pagan practices and by doing
so, made Christianity more palatable to pagan folk reluctant to give up
their festivals for somber Christian practices.
