JOHN MARTINKUS
John is an Australian journalist who wrote the book "East Timor - Dirty
Little War" based on his experiences in East Timor in 1998 - 9.
Last year, he wrote an article "Dissent in Paradise" in Quarterly Essay
which shows how the Indonesian war criminals who organised the genocide
in East Timor are now organising terror in West Papua.
This will be a very important event and will show why the Bush/Howard
plan to resume military cooperation with the Indonesian Special
Forces/Kopassus is stupid & criminally negligent because it will
increase the terror in our region

JOHN HOWARD'S TERROR KITS
KEEP SENDING THEM BACK
These are the kits that have cost $15 million to produce, are very
glossy and provide very little useful information. There are many rude
suggestions as to what can be done with them!
However, a very useful protest is to:
* return your Terror Kit to Senator Bob Brown (Greens) or Senator
Bartlett (Democrats) asking them to table in Parliament as a protest
action.
* write some comments about:
- children in detention or detention in general
- the Sievx tragedy
- how the war in Iraq will contribute to greater loss of life for
innocent Iraqis and more asylum seekers (Philip Ruddock may have a
breakdown if more genuine asylum seekers arrive on our shores!
- how Howard's sycophantic attitude to "President" (unelected)
George Bush over Iraq makes him and Australians look foolish but
is criminally negligent because it increases the chance of Australia
being a target for terrorism
.* encourage family & friends to do the same
