In this week's edition of Shire Network News, we speak to Venezuelan blogger Daniel Duquenal about Hugo Chavez and the way he's
killing democracy while the global left stand on the sidelines applauding.
Podcast wonders what's worse for Venezuela- Socialismo or Muerte - or Chavez #92
However, as those of you you who saw the Joss Wheedon movie Serenity will know, Chavez can close down all the opposition TV
stations he wants, but you can't stop the signal. A website protesting at Hugo Chavez's crushing of dissent "Free
RCTV" is now
available with video clips, news and a petition to sign. And you can read more about the anti-Chavista resistance at
Harry's Place.
And our thanks for those links goes to our friend in the underground, "Nighthawk". This is London calling Nighthawk. The
package has been received, Stand by for further instructions.
Chavez's Bolivarian "Socialismo O Muerte" revolution gets the Doug Payton treatment in "Consider This", and Israeli Tomer in
"Push the Button" slags off Israel. Criticism of the Jewish homeland on SNN, home of the last unreconstructed
red-in-tooth-and-claw neoconservatives in captivity? Strange but true.
In Blog News, the US and Iran hold talks, I feel safer already, don't you?
A British Foriegn Office diplomat thinks the Air France hijacking that led to the Entebbe raid was ... you guessed it, a
Zionist conspiracy. It was reported on the BBC, so it's gotta to be true, innit?
The latest bizzare Islamic pronouncement sheds new light on the
origin of the pious phrase "piss be upon him".
And Australia apologises to an Indonesian politician suspected of
involvement of the murder of Australian citizens, for having the temerity to want to ask him one or two questions about the
event. Naughty kuffar, extra jizya for you this month!
While Meryl Yourish's "On Second Thought" is not on SNN this week, you don't have to wait until the next show for your
dose of her humour. Run, do not walk, the the Michelle Malkin affilliated site "Hot Air" for a video of outtakes from the latest set of
bone chilling Al Qaeda threats, delivered by Adam Gadhan, who is clearly looking to the comic books of his childhood for
inspiration now he's in the supervillain business. In his dreams perhaps.
And now you can stay in touch with the inside gossip from behind the scenes here at SNN, including upcoming guests, arguments
over whose turn it is to send in contributions, and pathetic whining about why Glenn Reynolds even link to us, let alone give
us an interview, at the new Shire Network News group on Facebook.
