While our sister site KeyWiki, focuses largely on the U.S. left, we do cover some deserving cases from New Zealand and elsewhere.
Our KeyWiki profile of Marxist/Muslim Auckland University Law lecturer Mohsen al Attar has received over 800 “hits” and comes up second on Google rankings.
We’ve just begun two more profiles of prominent New Zealand socialists, Matt McCarten and Mike Treen.
Comrades Treen and McCarten run the radical Unite union from Auckland and between them have an impressive list of radical contacts in Australia, the United States, Venezuela and Bolivia.
Stand in awe of Mike’s unswerving support for the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan and stirring defense of the Soviet Union. Thrill to Matt’s soaring admiration for the noble ideals of Marxism-Leninism.
Don’t take my word for it though, check out their pages and link to them on your blogs. Let’s see how far we can drive their KeyWiki profiles up the Google rankings.
If you’d like us to profile more local activists, nominate your favorite Kiwi Komrade in the comments section below.
Cheers

Zombie has a great new post up for ‘Everybody Draw Mohammed Day:’
In honor of ‘Everybody Draw Mohammed Day,’ I’ve taken the above from Zombie for NoisyRoom since drawing is not one of my strengths and this does justice to the movement for the day.
I realize that not everyone supports today. But with me it is the principle of the matter. This is based on several things for me:
In light of this, I will not be silenced by murderous thugs who try to bully and/or murder those who don’t agree with them. As far as I am concerned, they can pound sand. And in light of our President’s anti-semitic views and his overt threats to Israel while coddling the Muslim world, I am doubly in favor of today. May those mosques not be built and not stand. Insha’ Allah…
Islam does not get to dictate what is provocative and I am sick and tired of Americans defending something that is clearly wrong and promotes the Ummah and Sharia Law.
Americans dragged themselves from England, fought, died and sacrificed all so that we could have freedom of religion and speech. So we could live without fear of being punished for what we say and think. America will not stand for laws against blasphemy and the heavy handed justice meted out by a religion straight out of the dark ages.
Zombie in her piece is calling for a new free speech movement and it is way past time that such a thing occur. Especially since the FCC and Obama’s minions are threatening to crack down on free speech on the web, radio and television.
A final word from Zombie who gets it right:
Islamic extremists still seem to think that banning Facebook or threatening to kill the Everybody Draw Mohammed Day organizers will somehow make the problem of blasphemy go away. They don’t yet understand that we in the West have spent the last 600 years not merely earning the right to be blasphemous, but more importantly creating a society and a worldview in which there is no such thing as blasphemy, because all forms of speech are permitted and religious bullies no longer get to determine what is forbidden.
Read all of Zombie’s post. Then pull out the Constitution, the Bill of Rights and the Declaration of Independence and read those. We have to choose between our founding father’s light of freedom and Islam’s dark creed of oppression.

Since I couldn’t draw to save my life, even if a Muslim held a sword to my neck and screamed “Draw, infidel, or I’ll cut off your head … Allahu Akbar,” rather than try to submit some half-assed Photochop for my official Draw Mohammed Day post I’ll instead reconfigure something I put together last year and honor the religion of pieces in the most fitting way I know.
———————————————
Time and time again, Mohammad told his goat, Sharif, to stay away during prayer time, but Sharif, the naughty little basterd he is, couldn’t stop hitting that ass even if Allah himself walked into the room.
After the Sharif incident, Mohammad’s rear-end was sore, and, needing time alone to recover, he decided to go see what he thought would turn out to be his favorite new movie.
But all of the characters in the movie were infidels, and this angered Mohammad so much, he joined a group of peace lovers assembling outside the theater in a little discussion of culture.
The crowd grew as time went on, but unbeknown to Mohammad, the organizers passed out signs meant for a different group.
At first Mohammad worried he was soon going to meet his 72 virgins, secretly hoping they all looked and talked like Bawney Fwank. But after a while he realized who was pResident of the United States and knew he had nothing to fear. So he became carefree again and found Sharif, and the lovers went home for a little afternoon delight.

The Idaho “Tea Party Express” has bucked the trend to endorse an incumbent Democratic Congressman.
Writes conservative blogger Terresa Monroe-Hamilton:
It was with a sinking heart and something akin to grief that I heard the Tea Party Express endorse Walt Minnick here in Idaho. It should be noted that the Tea Party Express is not the actual Tea Party of Idaho – they are located in Boise and do not support Minnick.
Minnick is a member of the United States House of Representatives, representing the 1st congressional district of Idaho. He will be running for office in Idaho in 2010 against primarily two Conservative opponents: Raul Labrador and Vaughn Ward.
While Minnick has a business background and a reputation for fiscal responsibility (by Democratic standards), there is little in his record to merit endorsement by a movement known for its anti “Progressive” and pro-liberty, pro-Constitution outlook.
According to Monroe-Hamilton;
Minnick has had numerous stances that I consider to be Progressive in nature and is supported by Progressive groups in Idaho.
He is strongly supported by the Unions in Idaho. This would include the Teamsters, the Teachers’ Union (NEA), the Carpenters & Joiners Union and a list of others as well.
Minnick was a donor to Earthjustice, a legal group that uses litigation to force far left environmental policies through the courts, while destroying good paying jobs. Earthjustice is a non-profit public interest law firm, (formerly the Sierra Club Legal Defense Fund). In Earthjustice’s 2003 annual report, Minnick was listed as being a member of their “Advocates Circle,” their mid-level donor membership level.
He is a strong environmentalist and he is pro-choice with a strong record supporting NARAL and Planned Parenthood. Minnick served on the Governing Board of The Wilderness Society for 16 years as well.
Minnick has strong ties to Congressman Steny Hoyer. Hoyer has contributed substantially to Minnick’s campaigns through AMERIPAC: The Fund for a Greater America.
He seems to be getting contributions from the left and the right, but there are some heavy players on the left that give to Walt Minnick including the law firm of Arnold & Porter, LLP which is a left-wing law firm from DC. If you follow the ties that bind, this firm is connected to individuals such as Charles Halpern, Sarah Bloom Raskin, Thurman Arnold and Jeremy Karpatkin.
