Dear friends,

In the last days of 2004, Time Magazine chose George W. Bush as Person of
the Year
<http://www.thecatsdream.com/blog/2004/12/george-w-bush.htm>http://www.thecatsdream.com/blog/2004/12/george-w-bush.htm
, The New York Times, after its 'call to unity'
<http://www.thecatsdream.com/blog/2004/11/voice-of-master.htm>http://www.thecatsdream.com/blog/2004/11/voice-of-master.htm
published one of its most humoristic editorial ever, writing about the
General Pinochet's coup in Chile "the United States did too little to
discourage it"
<http://www.thecatsdream.com/blog/2004/12/new-york-times-corruption_110313158697003360.htm>http://www.thecatsdream.com/blog/2004/12/new-york-times-corruption_110313158697003360.htm
and the Western money succeeded in buying the Ukraine's Presidency
<http://www.thecatsdream.com/blog/2004/12/anti-empire-report.htm>http://www.thecatsdream.com/blog/2004/12/anti-empire-report.htm
with the help - useless to say - of the Western media
<http://www.thecatsdream.com/blog/2004/11/revolution-televised.htm>http://www.thecatsdream.com/blog/2004/11/revolution-televised.htm

Then, on December 26th the South East Asian tsunami broke onto the Western
family tables while we were celebrating Christmas and the presence of
tourists in those coasts helped us to see and feel those people as part of
our same humanity. For some very interesting thoughts about this event,
please read

In the year 2004 a few words became popular in the West. Among these:
ABU GHRAIB
<http://www.thecatsdream.com/blog/2004/10/war-crimes-at-abu-ghraib.htm>http://www.thecatsdream.com/blog/2004/10/war-crimes-at-abu-ghraib.htm
,

.

Meanwhile in Palestine even some Western media couldn't miss the meaning of
terrorism
<http://www.thecatsdream.com/blog/2004/12/whos-terrorist.htm>http://www.thecatsdream.com/blog/2004/12/whos-terrorist.htm
.

We were also given some 'pornography lessons'. Among many others:
in occasion of the death of President Arafat
<http://www.thecatsdream.com/blog/2004/11/pornography.htm>http://www.thecatsdream.com/blog/2004/11/pornography.htm
,
on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict
<http://www.thecatsdream.com/blog/2004/10/pornography.htm>http://www.thecatsdream.com/blog/2004/10/pornography.htm
,
on Thanksgiving Day
<http://www.thecatsdream.com/blog/2004/11/thanksgiving_25.htm>http://www.thecatsdream.com/blog/2004/11/thanksgiving_25.htm
,
on Fallujah
<http://www.thecatsdream.com/blog/2004/11/sign-of-times.htm>http://www.thecatsdream.com/blog/2004/11/sign-of-times.htm

We also learned a few things about:
Children
<http://www.thecatsdream.com/blog/2004/12/children.htm>http://www.thecatsdream.com/blog/2004/12/children.htm
Hunger
<http://www.thecatsdream.com/blog/2004/12/hunger.htm>http://www.thecatsdream.com/blog/2004/12/hunger.htm
Globalization
<http://www.thecatsdream.com/blog/2004/12/globalization.htm>http://www.thecatsdream.com/blog/2004/12/globalization.htm
Environment
<http://www.thecatsdream.com/blog/2004/12/global-warming-think-tanks-and.htm>http://www.thecatsdream.com/blog/2004/12/global-warming-think-tanks-and.htm
,
<http://www.thecatsdream.com/blog/2004/11/arctic.htm>http://www.thecatsdream.com/blog/2004/11/arctic.htm
and
<http://www.thecatsdream.com/blog/2004/12/killing-mother-earth.htm>http://www.thecatsdream.com/blog/2004/12/killing-mother-earth.htm
WMD
<http://www.thecatsdream.com/blog/2004/11/wmd.htm>http://www.thecatsdream.com/blog/2004/11/wmd.htm

Now that a new year has just started and we still have the Coalition of the
War Criminals in place
<http://www.thecatsdream.com/blog/2004/11/impunity.htm>http://www.thecatsdream.com/blog/2004/11/impunity.htm
and
<http://www.thecatsdream.com/blog/2005/01/as-american-as-apple-pie.htm>http://www.thecatsdream.com/blog/2005/01/as-american-as-apple-pie.htm
, we must not forget to look at our side and get strength from what we have
achieved. First of all, WE NOW KNOW OF ALL THE ABOVE. Thank to a few names
in the mainstream media and to many alternative media outlets, we know
about the crimes and the lies.

We should also keep in mind a few meaningful facts.

"Britain's highest court ruled that the British government cannot
indefinitely detain foreigners suspected of terrorism without charging or
trying them, and called the process a violation of European human rights
laws" (NYT 16 December 2004)
<http://www.thecatsdream.com/blog/2004/12/justice.htm>http://www.thecatsdream.com/blog/2004/12/justice.htm

Something is going on in the US Army
<http://www.thecatsdream.com/blog/2004/12/like-cabinet-member-i-resign.htm>http://www.thecatsdream.com/blog/2004/12/like-cabinet-member-i-resign.htm
and
<http://www.thecatsdream.com/blog/2004/12/soldiers.htm>http://www.thecatsdream.com/blog/2004/12/soldiers.htm
and this couldn't happen without the international anti-war movement, which
has never been stronger, more united and organized.

John Pilger recently wrote "A French study now estimates that 35 million
people demonstrated on that February day (15 February 2003) and says there
has never been anything like it; and it was just a beginning. (...)These
forces are part of a movement against inequality and poverty and war that
has arisen in the past six years and is more diverse, more enterprising,
more internationalist and more tolerant of difference than anything in my
lifetime. It is a movement unburdened by a western liberalism that believes
it represents a superior form of life; the wisest know this is colonialism
by another name. The wisest also know that just as the conquest of Iraq is
unraveling, so a whole system of domination and impoverishment can unravel,
too."
