By Much like the professional protesters in Korea, protesting world wide is becoming a industry and not a movement:
ANTI-military activists have been offered training on how to disrupt Australia’s top-level wargames with the US military in an official course run by Sydney University.
The University’s Centre for Peace and Conflict Studies offered students a six-week “Peace and Activism Training Course” culminating in a trip to Queensland next month to disrupt Exercise Talisman Sabre. The $500 course fee even included travel expenses for the six-day trip to Rockhampton to take part in the “Peace Convergence” for the first week of the three-week exercise.
An online discussion group by organisers investigated by The Daily Telegraph reveals the group plans to blockade Rockhampton airport on Sunday, July 12 and other direct action…. The course’s instructors included Dr Hannah Middleton, who is also a protest organiser. [Andrew Bolt]
Is anyone surprised the instructor is the General Secretary of the Australian Communist Party?

Current TV chairman and potential envoy to North Korea Al Gore is scheduled to deliver a keynote address on climate policy in Melbourne, Australia on July 13.
Australian reporters have sought my advice on what to ask Gore concerning the two Current TV reporters if they have not been released before his speech.
I told them to ask Al why Mitch Koss and Current TV won't talk about what really happened on March 17.
If you would like to submit a question to Al Gore as well, please do so at the following website:
