Information

Blog Name: Truth, Reason, & Liberty
Url: http://truth-reason-liberty.blogspot.com/
Language: English
Topics: Politics, Anarchism, Liberty & Equality
Description: Truth, Reason, & Liberty makes no pretences towards being a comprehensive news source, it is not one. Nor does it claim to be the online presence of a massive activist movement as, again, it is not. There is only one person behind this site, and it almost certainly shows in the irregularity of updates, amongst other things. However, it does hope to present an interesting, informed, and informative view of those issues that it does cover. One that strays far from the uniform consensus of the liberal/conservative mainstream to offer an unapologetically partisan voice from the radical left, but nevertheless a view that makes its points with clarity and reason, not through generalised slander or unfounded ad hominems. Above all, the intention of this site is to make the reader think twice about events that are going on in the world, about the victims involved, and about the role those responsible play in our society.

Dancing on a mass grave - Oliver Kamm of the Times smears Media Lens
The following article is reposted from Media Lens. I am highlighting it here as an example of how those who dissect and challenge the propagandistic nature of the corporate mass media are dealt with by the object of their criticism.One of our most relentless critics is Oliver Kamm, leader writer and blogger at The Times. Kamm joined the paper in 2008 having been an investment banker and co-founder of a hedge fund. In a 2006 blog, Kamm described us as “a shrill group of malcontents”, an “aggressively simple-minded lobby” guilty
Merseyside BNP show themselves up as liars and hypocrites
Recently, this site recounted how Peter and Andrew Tierney of Merseyside BNP attempted to intimidate a group of antifascists who had just been delivering leaflets in Halewood. The group, at this point having nothing on them to identify them as anything other than passers-by, were circled by the brothers as they took pictures and did their best to be “intimidating.”  The attempt was a spectacular failure. Liverpool Antifascists held their ground until the Tierneys, unable to provoke a fight despite threats and insults, got bored a
Law Lords reassert bank supremacy
As I write, the BBC has just broken the news that the Supreme Court "has overturned earlier court rulings that allowed the Office of Fair Trading to investigate the fairness of charges for unauthorised overdrafts." This does not mean that the banks have won their case for extortionate and exorbitant fees, but that they will not even face investigation.
The "Magic Roundabout" under threat
The "Magic Roundabout" protest camp on the Isle of Wight arose in support for the workers occupying the Vestas wind turbine factory back in July. When the occupation ended, it remained as a show of continued defiance against the job losses and disdain for environmental issues that the plant's closure represents. Now, however, even this encampment is under threat.
No War but Class War - November Update
In the last few days, Honduran workers have secured an impressive and unprecedented victory in the fight for union rights in the country. According to the report on People & Planet, "never in history have people forced a multinational corporation to re-open a factory. It has shown that as students we can fight back against exploitation and the race to the bottom. We can campaign in solidarity with workers and WIN!"Of course, this is far from the end of the struggle in Honduras. Since the military coup
