A selection of underre****ted news taken from my Smygo list.
I encourage readers to add their own suggestions. (Not necessarily from
Smygo.)
On January 1st, a hacker broke into the old website of ZNet, one of the
most useful progressive news sites (the new website is at
http://www.zcommunications.org/znet
), and reset all of the links to
re-direct to a ****ographic website. From the little that I
inadvertently saw, I believe that it is a virtual certainty that this
material would legally be considered child ****ography.
(No link for this story. ZNet chose not to publicize or pursue the
matter legally.)
The Iraq Freedom Congress is a libertarian, secular, non-violent,
democratic, and progressive group that opposes Ba'athism, Islamism, and
nationalism -- as well as the US invasion/occupation. The IFC has
organized Safety Forces that patrol neighborhoods in Baghdad and other
cities (population c. 5,000). They have reduced sectarian violence in
these neighborhoods to zero. Far from sup****ting the IFC, the American
occupiers have repeatedly raided their offices and have assassinated the
head of their Safety Forces. Mainstream mass media have entirely failed
to re****t on the existence of the IFC, and alternative media have been
almost as bad.

Somalia Quagmire Continues to Worsen
When Ethiopia invaded Somalia as a US-proxy in December 2006, they
intended to stay for three months. They're still stuck there with no end
in sight. Mainstream mass media keep misre****ting the story.
