[New Word] Neolibully

There is something systemic about these characters, along with the personal ill qualities that they inevitably enhance.

Promoted to a destructive incompetence by institutional cultures that treat humans as fungible commodities and deify performance indicators, the neolibully is a common sight in public institutionunder arson attack from misapplication of ways of thinking thought to be valued in the profit making sector, and amplified by austerity.

Neolibullysome impact are rife in education, on staff students and collective trajectories. Some tangible, most more than material. They exploit the poor and hopeful who enter the doors.

The Bilad of Tulip and Rupa

Granddaughter of the Nation, 
Kinnockite Kilburn MP,
Forgetting to offset human rights hypocrisy,
Any display of compassion for victim and family.

Just a hollow trained technocratic dismissal,
"Who dat? 
He My constituent? 
He British? 
Me Bangladeshi? 
You racist? 
Want some?"
To the sympathy and deferral of The Silver Truth.
And roaring laughter.

Impunity and sycophancy, 
Entangled in two sick establishments,
Female BME Labour MP,
Intersectional invulnerability,
"Awami League is Labour's sister party"
Well May Be,
But THAT Moronarchy?
Business as usual Cornberry?

So lets celebrate our shit Bangladeshi MPs.

[New Word] Climate Refugicity

A quality of those areas to which people and other creatures will head as climate impacts impregnate our world.

No armed climate lifeboats. No Malthusian endgame. Please.

[New Word] House Plant

Denizens of developmentshire, 
Darkies in the colonial cores and periphery, 
Developmentors of the White Supremacy System, 
Multifunctional, often consciously, 
Generating oxygen into a rarified atmosphere, 
Removing toxins generated therein. 
Slightly.

Whilst no solution to deforestation,
Of other civilisation,
House Plants, 
Plantations even,
Keep each other warm,
And their planters secure.
To suffocate and save, 
Whomsoever they choose,
Tomorrow.

Anthem of Participatory Genocide for the Border Guards of Digital Bangladesh

Border Guards Bangladesh,
Pilkhana decapitated, gutted and rebooted you,
and Shapla Chottor completed that reformat,
You protect the borders of the Bengali nationalist mind,
A very small perimeter, I understand,
Bloody, stupid, civilisationaly mutilating.
Not just for yourselves, and your unfortunate progeny.
But for us who share the same air, soil and blood.
The Tulip and the Aunt be Damned.

Run, fight, survive and thrive Rohingya.
Bear witness against your "Bengali" sister and brother
On that day when colonial pretension,
and government pension,
Will count for nought.

Will June be the End of May?

Mainstream electoral politics is getting interesting in the UK these days, scary at times, with small willy terrorism and big willy counter terrorism ensuring that security politics will play themselves out over the next few week. The dynamism is not just confined to the Muslim kooky sideshows for once, through there are plenty of those, from Salma Yaqoob vs Naz Shah in Bradford West to Ajmal Masroor vs Rushanara Ali in Bethnal Green by Bro and even George Galloway vs Afzal Khan for Manchester Gorton.

Although there are great signs of political maturation and movement, just looking at MEND's rather useful tabulation of Muslim populations per constituency, there are plenty of very Muslim peopled constituencies with really whitewing Labour MPs.

No, the excitement is the growing political horizon of hope articulated by Corbynjaan's manifesto [pdf], encouraging poll (game) evidence and a terrible Conservative campaign which just gets worse the more Theresa May opens her mouth, thinks or has her photograph taken. It is almost as if the establishment had already thrown all of its stash of petrol bombs at Corbyn before the General Election was called.

A Labour government headed by Corbyn would face the risk of anti Corbyn, anti Left and anti Muslim elements stabbing him in the back and the front, sodding all the consequence just for their narrow interest. Prime Minister Corbyn would be a  blessing for so many people struggling every day. Imagine, just over two years ago...

A May continuity  and landslide would be a nightmare, Prevent on steroids, superficiality in general, oppression of the poor, sick and elderly. It is incredible to think that this person studied geography.

Sunamganj 2017 Floods Arrive Early and possibly Radioactively: Resource Page

Donate sacks of rice et al via Mushtaq Ahmad's JustGiving page.

The community of farmers around Shanir Haor in Sunamganj desperately toiled for weeks moving earth with their own hands to fix a dam by themselves, often in the pouring rain, to protect their crops from early inundation and ruination. What timely assistance they had from the Water Board or  Engineering Colleges speaks volumed about the configuration of science, technology, society and economy in our part of the world.

Given all the environmental changes and human forces at play, we really need to observe, think, communicate and invest better. Sunamganj District, where about 2.5 milllion people live, is getting better connected to itself and the rest of the country these days. It isn't exactly an agricultural breadbasket, but plays an important role in the stone industry, which feeds into construction and is full of beautiful wetlands, songs and spirituality.

The farmers of Shanir Haor were unsucessful in stopping the water and as the water came in those with the physical power salvaged what they could of their  unripened paddy. Its sad because in this part of desh, you only really get one crop. National electronic media picked this up in the videos below.




Rotting crops release toxins which kill fish upon whom many also economically rely. However, this spring, the extent of fish deaths and animal deaths up the food chain have raised concerns that uranium mining upstream in India is poisoning the Bangladesh end of the Surma Valley. The Uranium mine is 3 miles into India in a place called Ranikhor, Meghalaya.

This is a holding page which will be updated as I am. Feel free to a your own updates in the comments.

#JusticeforTahirAlam is justice for us all

Oh Knower of Subtleties, Master of Judgement, Just and Mighty Avenger, Protecting Friend and Everlasting Source of Life, strengthen the spines, bonds and arguments of the defamed, humiliated

It has been a few years since an extraordinary sh!tstorm was kicked up by the government and establishment press regarding schools in predominantly Muslim areas in Birmingham and the words Trojan Horse. This storm provided important political capital for British neocon politician and one time Education Secretary/Vandal Michael Gove (whose jaundiced treatise Celsius 7/7 even had a chapter called "Trojan Horse"). It is worth considering the role of the event in politically underwriting the deepening of the Preventitude State enveloping Muslims in this Cartographically United But Crumbling Queendom.

High impact letter writing

In case you've been living under a rock for the past five years, education institutions are now legally obliged to snoop, confuse and grass up students they reckon are at risk to council securocrats. Find me a defence of Prevent that doesn't draw on Trojan Horse imagery.

Operation Trojan Horse saw technocrats and hacks making mincemeat exegeses of WhatsApp group messages between rudeboy types, and the common sense being constructed that all Muslim community organisation in education was suspicious and deserved destruction. While some people are always going to be as thick as pigsh!t, incompetent and/or easy tools to manipulate, the damage political opportunists have wrought with this, to other people's futures is extraordinary. Imagine that your school was colonially invaded, dragged through the mud and dumped on because of the anti Muslim arrogance and prejudice of state institutions and politicians? Now try and sit some public exams that count.

The affair consumed the reputations and educations of hundreds of mainly young Muslim people, stigmatised and scarred by the disaster, which carries the hallmarks of the collaborative skullduggery of people with professional and political axes to grind. People with life experience of such axes in school governance, local authorities, central government or politics might easily empathise with more creative explanations regarding who really wrote the Trojan Horse letter that sparked it all off.

The importance of fighting back, not rolling over and dying

Since 15th March, one of the professionals ruined by the Trojan Horse/Hoax saga, Tahir Alam, has been having his appeal heard by the Educational Tribunal at the Royal Courts of Justice against the ban imposed on him by the Education Secretary from involvement in any schools for 'Violating British Values'. Tahir Alam is widely acknowledged as a wide minded, decent, hardworking and honest educationist in the Muslim community and has done a lot to develop community engagement with education in this country. This is why his crowdjustice funding campaign has raised so much. It is widely felt that he was the primary target of the whole bureaucratic assassination operation.

The Tribunal will make public evidence and alternative understandings of the current establishment view of one of the most important political attacks on Muslim community organising in the past decade. There are a few days left until the hearing ends, Court 23 generally.

I doubt whether corporate media editors will cut their pet Muslim reporters and/or radicalisation hacks some slack on this, but I hope people of justice will take this on, just like many did in order to campaign for the release of poet Talha Ahsan and Babar Ahmad from supermax detention in the US.

Long term we need sophisticated, mature and distributed expertise in educational institutional development and legal defence, this tough legal-political battle is definitely a good one for learning and connecting the dots.

[New Word] Hypotechknowcrisy

Killing off technological futures under the ruse of a self serving doctrine of domination.

For example, the UKs continuing program of Weapons of Mass Destruction looks even more hopeless with the cover-up of the 20th June Trident missile test failure. Contrast the gravity of analysis an ridicule with Iranian Revolutionary Guard's Photoshopping of their own launch imagery back in 2008.

More plentiful example, the technologicide of Bretton Woods loan conditionalities in the colonial periphery.
