Hi:

This is the website for Owen Carter, a British guy who has been living in Amsterdam for the last 11 years.

I'm afraid there is nothing earth-shattering here, no solutions for World Peace, no cures for peoples ills.. Just a few of my photos and ramblings.

New Billy Bragg album!

Looks like the first album I might buy this year.

Hey George/Tony!

No weapons of mass destruction? You are lying little weasels. And your warmongering spin has been laid bare. While of course you are still developing your own.. You’re hypocrites too!

Crush all dissent.

Because otherwise the Arms Industry might suffer, so they try to prevent the protests using anti terrorist legislation.
I suspect western made weapons have killed far more people than terrorists ever have.

A message

To both Hamas and The Israeli Army. You’rte not part of the solution. You are part of the problem.

All hail to the chief!

Aiming for a 1000year rijk?

How far will you go?

To make a stand against things that are wrong with our world?

The land grab continues..

Dick Cheanies Haliburton now runs the Oil industry in Iraq.
Now they’ve skewed mobile phone contract rules to favour US companies and to block out most European (Iraq is probably better off without Vodaphone..) and Middle Eastern companies (thats another slap in the face to Muslim’s from America).

Remember

WAR IS PEACE
FREEDOM IS SLAVERY
IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH

- Orwell

Why

“The dangers of national divinity scarcely require explanation. Japan went to war in the 1930s convinced, like George Bush, that it possessed a heaven-sent mission to “liberate” Asia and extend the realm of its divine imperium.” George Monbiot in the Guardian.

What now

Interesting perspectives on what may now happen in Iraq after the (welcome) deaths of his most unpleasant sons.

It is easier to claim that the resistance comes from “remnants of the past” than recognise that it is fuelled by grievances about the present and doubts about the future.
