The document outlines a new vision for Australia as presented by Sam Watson, a leading Indigenous activist and Socialist Alliance Senate candidate. It calls for rejecting the traditional political parties that support wars and attacks on Indigenous communities. A new vision is needed that enshrines justice, democracy, and sustainability in a Bill of Rights. At the core, this must include reconciliation and justice for Indigenous Australia. An alternative is proposed that rejects economic policies threatening the planet and puts people and the environment over corporate profits through principles of democracy, solidarity, and living sustainably. The author is campaigning to advance these values and policies to build the better future that is needed.

Venezuela Chronology

Chronology of the 4th Generation War Against Venezuela
The US Government is waging war on Venezuela - not your typical, traditional war, but a modern, asymmetric - 4th Generation War - against President Chávez and the Bolivarian Revolution. Below is a presentation I created regarding the pattern and escalation of US Government aggression against Venezuela, with clear quotes and cites as evidence to back up this claim.

Countering the racist lies & building solidarity with refugees
Talk presented by Peter Benedek,
Focus of this is on countering the dangerous, racist lies – from politicians, from media – that create climate of fear, of scapegoating. Just what is behind this “fortress Australia” policy?
As Alex – Tamil spokesperson for the boat currently in Indonesia, where a recent hunger strike was held – told GLW: “When people are fleeing war and genocide, how can a country think protecting themselves is more important than helping these people? The world is for all of humankind, we are just like you except we do not have a country.”
“We are refugees and we want to get away from genocide”, Alex said. “There are women and children on board here. And we are not animals, we are people, but we are being treated inhumanely.”

New republican coalition
The United States is threatened by moral degeneracy, political corruption, and government largesse. The very survival of the United States is under threat. It is time to form a new Republican Coalition to stand in opposition to the external and internal threats to the United States. This would be a new coalition in the Republican Party to build on a national consensus.
Importance of Democracy.pdf
Five significant issues to watch for in 2023
1. Political instability, polarization, and election year
Politics will likely consume most of the country's time and attention in 2023, just as it did in 2022. The country's turn to political turmoil last spring has not ended. a scathing vote in Parliament last April removed Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan from office. The instability and polarization have only deepened since:
Khan led a grassroots opposition movement against the incumbent coalition government and the military, organizing a series of mass protests across the country throughout the year.
The power struggle continues into 2023. While the incumbent government did not accept Khan's request for a snap election, the mandatory national elections must be held by October this year. It would be in the government's political interest to hold them back for as long as possible as they try to emerge from Pakistan's severe economic crisis and weak domestic performance (their diplomatic approach to politics).
Foreign policy has been better maintained, but this may not matter for the election). The past year has cost him valuable political capital, and Khan's party has won a massive victory in a series of by-elections held in July and October. According to Wajid khan, the state has tried to manipulate it. Khan and his party into the lawsuits, drawing on a familiar playbook used against opposition politicians in Pakistan, albeit with limited effect, with court involvement.
Khan's party still controls two of Pakistan's four provinces, Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP), and the incumbent federal government's (extralegal) efforts to wrest power from him in Punjab, province, the biggest, failed (thanks to the court). The year is off to a spectacular start, with Khan's party kicking off the process of dissolving the Punjab and KP assemblies this month to pressure the federal government into snappy elections.
The biggest question for the politically obsessed Pakistan is who will win the next general election. Will former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif (brother of incumbent Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif) return to Pakistan to run for his party's leadership, PML-N? Can Imran Khan win thanks to his popular support, despite his confrontation with the army? Wajid khan Mp says Whatever the outcome, we can say the same with the history of the leading candidates:
The direction of the country is likely to stay the same.
2. Precarious economic situation
Pakistan's economy has been in crisis for months before catastrophic floods over the summer. Inflation is crushing, the value of the rupee has plummeted, and the country's foreign exchange reserves have now dropped to a precarious $4.3 billion, just enough to cover just one month's worth of imports, making increase the probability of payment default.
Importance of Democracy.pdf
This fact sheet introduces democratic thinking and examines the fundamental principles of Australia's democratic government system. Wajid khan discusses. These include individual liberty, justice, tolerance of opposing ideas, and representativeness.
What is democracy?
Democracy means Government by the people. The word comes from the ancient Greek words "demos" (people) and "Kratos" (to rule). A democratic country has a system of Government in which people have the power to participate in decision-making. Every democracy is unique and works in different ways. In some democracies, citizens contribute directly to decision-making by voting on laws and policy proposals (direct democracy). In other countries like Australia, citizens elect representatives to make decisions on their behalf (representative democracy).
democratic society
Democracy depends on citizen participation. They don't just vote; they participate by participating in the community. That can be done by joining a charity, political party, environmental, or community group.
A democratic society works towards democratic ideals.
We respect individuals and respect their right to make their own decisions.
Tolerance for differences and opposing ideas.
Justice - Respect all people and help them reach their full potential.
Everyone has freedom of speech, association, movement, and belief. Justice – Treat everyone fairly, both in society and in courts.
Here are four key ideas that drive Australian democracy:
Canadian Politician Wajid khan explains many points in this post;
Constitutional order - The structure and powers of the Australian Parliament are set out in the Australian Constitution, which also describes the management of the Australian High Court to determine whether laws comply with the Constitution.
Liberal Democracy - As a nation, we support individual development and well-being.
Pluralistic Society - Australian society is diverse, with many ethnic, racial, religious, and social groups coexisting.
Representative Democracy – Citizens can vote to elect MPs to make decisions and legislation on their behalf. If citizens think their members of Parliament are not doing a good job, they can elect new members of Parliament at the next election.
Respect and Tolerance of Dissent - Parliament discusses issues and new legislation and consults the Australian Government on effortsto make the Australian Government accountable to the Australian people. Listening to different perspectives and minority voices in society strengthens our democracy.
Responsible Government – To belong to a government, a political party or coalition must have the support of a majority of members of the House of Representatives. That ensures that the Australian Government is accountable to the Australian Parliament.
What are the benefits of democracy?
Wajid khan Mp explains there are ways to resolve disagreements and conflicts peacefully.
Respect for human dignity. The freedom to act, speak and think freely (
The Black Panther Party Ten-Point ProgramThe Black Panther.docx
The Black Panther Party Ten-Point Program
The Black Panther Party for Self-Defense, written October 15, 1966
Black Panther Party founders Huey P. Newton and Bobby Seale had driften in and out
of black nationalist groups, and Newton had read voraciously in philosophy and third
world politics. In late 1966, they acquired weapons and uniforms (leather jackets and
black berets), and Newton issues the party's Ten-Point Program. This platform
embodied the complexity of the Black Power movement, demanding both practical
reform such as guaranteed jobs and housing and a United Nations-organized
referendum "to be held throughout the black colony...for the purpose of determining the
will of the black people as to their national destiny."
1. We Want Freedom. We Want Power to Determine the Destiny of Our
Black Community. We believe that Black people will not be free until we are
able to determine our destiny.
2. We Want Full Employment for Our People. We believe that the federal
government is responsible and obligated to give every man employment or a
guaranteed income. We believe that if the White American businessmen will
not give full employment, then the means of production should be taken from
the businessmen and placed in the community so that the people of the
community can organize and employ all of its people and give a high
standard of living.
3. We Want An End to the Robbery By the Capitalists of Our Black
Community. We believe that this racist government has robbed us, and now
we are demanding the overdue debt of forty acres and two mules. Forty acres
and two mules were promised 100 years ago as restitution for slave labor and
mass murder of Black people. We will accept the payment in currency which
will be distributed to our many communities. The Germans are now aiding the
Jews in Israel for the genocide of the Jewish people. The Germans murdered
six million Jews. The American racist has taken part in the slaughter of over
fifty million Black people; therefore, we feel that this is a modest demand that
we make.
4. We Want Decent Housing Fit For The Shelter of Human Beings. We
believe that if the White Landlords will not give decent housing to our Black
community, then the housing and the land should be made into cooperatives
so that our community, with government aid, can build and make decent
housing for its people.
5. We Want Education for Our People That Exposes The True Nature Of
This Decadent American Society. We Want Education That Teaches Us
Our True History And Our Role in the Present-Day Society. We believe in
an educational system that will give to our people a knowledge of self. If a
man does not have knowledge of himself and his position in society and the
world then he has little chance to relate to anything else.
6. We Want All Black Men To Be Exempt From Military Service. We believe
that Black people should not be forced to fight in the military service to defend
a racist government that does not protect us. We will .

will be distributed to our many communities. The Germans are now aiding the
Jews in Israel for the genocide of the Jewish people. The Germans murdered
six million Jews. The American racist has taken part in the slaughter of over
fifty million Black people; therefore, we feel that this is a modest demand that
we make.
4. We Want Decent Housing Fit For The Shelter of Human Beings. We
believe that if the White Landlords will not give decent housing to our Black
community, then the housing and the land should be made into cooperatives
so that our community, with government aid, can build and make decent
housing for its people.
5. We Want Education for Our People That Exposes The True Nature Of
This Decadent American Society. We Want Education That Teaches Us
Our True History And Our Role in the Present-Day Society. We believe in
an educational system that will give to our people a knowledge of self. If a
man does not have knowledge of himself and his position in society and the
world then he has little chance to relate to anything else.
6. We Want All Black Men To Be Exempt From Military Service. We believe
that Black people should not be forced to fight in the military service to defend

Queensland Coal Production -- Condition And Trend [John Mackenzie ]
At the same time as the world balances on the precipice of climate change, Qld is rapidly increasing it's addiction to coal. Qld coal already contributes 30% of Australia's greenhouse gas emissions - and the Bligh government is celebrating the forecast tripling of Qld coal production by 2030. Now a new coal port is proposed for pristine Shoalwater Bay in Central Qld.
Can we allow business-as-usual when it threatens the planet? Can coal ever be "clean"? How can we build an alternative, sustainable future?
The Global Food Crisis
"The world's 200 wealthiest people have as much money as about 40% of the global population, and yet 850 million people have to go
to bed hungry every night."
Hugo Chavez, Venezuela’s socialist president: “The problem is not the production of food … it is the economic, social and political model of the world. The capitalist model is in crisis.”

Do Linguistics Still Matter in the Age of Large Language Models.pptxSlator- Language Industry Intelligence
In a May 9, 2024 paper, Juri Opitz from the University of Zurich, along with Shira Wein and Nathan Schneider form Georgetown University, discussed the importance of linguistic expertise in natural language processing (NLP) in an era dominated by large language models (LLMs).
The authors explained that while machine translation (MT) previously relied heavily on linguists, the landscape has shifted. “Linguistics is no longer front and center in the way we build NLP systems,” they said. With the emergence of LLMs, which can generate fluent text without the need for specialized modules to handle grammar or semantic coherence, the need for linguistic expertise in NLP is being questioned.Recently uploaded (13)
