SWEDEN: 'Sweden is not some kind of equality paradise' vs "When Journalists Rape"
SWEDEN
OFFICIAL LINE 'Sweden is not some kind of equality paradise' Published: 10 Mar 2015 10:43 GMT+01:00
3. Even though differences between the sexes have decreased in the past decade, women still carry out a greater part of unpaid home and care work. Men continue to claim less parental leave than women and they also take less leave to care for ill children (VAB, 'vård av barn'). In 2013, men claimed 25 percent and women 75 percent. Moreover, our research shows that women generally carry out more unpaid work, but have on average just as long working days as men. In the past ten years, however, men have increased their unpaid work by 12 minutes on weekdays and 15 minutes on weekends. The unequal divisions of unpaid home and care labour lead to lower incomes for women and by extension lower pensions than men. [So what does the govt propose to do, enter Swedish households (like part of a kinky threesome) and assign household chores on some more equitable basis?] SECTOR OF PUBLIC OPINION When journalists rape'Julia Caesar' (pen name), described as a journalist who originally wrote and published this article, translated from Swedish to English in the article linked above. ...........................................................................

USA - Guantanamo Bay - Hunger Strike - Media Suppression
U.S.A.
US 'Secret State'
Guantanamo
Torture
>> "Every nation must know: America will live its values, and we will lead by example." ... LOL ... Stop squatting in Cuba!
Media
This article is SO COOL - "Global commitment to healing torture survivors" [TheHill]... Makes you feel all warm & cuddly when you read that.
-----------------------------------------------------
COMMENT
Guantanamo must be a sensitive subject for the Americans. Should mention this is part of a wider story -- journalists unhappy about White House suppression of press that's been ongoing (eg picky re foreign affairs correspondents, reward those that comply & exclude those that challenge authorities (ie do their jobs), law suit regarding NY journalist (think he may have been investigated, spied on, searched and basically harassed, from recollection). Don't remember the name of the journalist or too may of the particulars, but I think the case is a big deal and it relates to freedom of press etc. And check out the size of the US 'secret state'! |

AUSTRALIAN 'SUPER-INJUNCTION'
WikiLeaks and the courts: keep the debate open By Carla Silbert |
So you elect a government and then the government (along with unelected intelligence agencies who presumably work for the public) do whatever they like; and then they go running to court to use the excuse of 'national security' to erode civil liberties and to fetter freedom of press, while they're scrambling to cover up some international scandal that involves government.
Having shut down scrutiny and debate by way of secret court order, the government's deftly sidestepped transparency and accountability and has, ultimately, undermined notions of democratic government.
How can this possibly be right?

AUSTRALIA - PRESS GAGGED - SUPPRESSION ORDER 'SUPER-INJUNCTION' - WIKILEAKS - CORRUPTION SCANDAL COVER UP
Social media users could be charged for sharing Wikileaks story Date |
First of all, the government uses 'national security' grounds to obtain a court 'super-injunction' suppression order to gag media coverage on some kind of international corruption scandal involving the Australian government, and THEN the press is gagged AND every Australian is threatened with imprisonment -- for the sake of this government cover up -- according to WikiLeaks.
Bloody, hell. It would help knowing in advance which information can get you in strife. Not clear to some (namely blogger) ... Doh!
Will let you know how gaol was, if I've breached anything. LOL.
Anyway, this is democracy, freedom of press and freedom of speech at work in Australia.
----------------------------------------------------
P.S.
What is the point of these gag orders when overseas press is reporting pretty much on the contents, the issue and on prior arrests of overseas people?
