Contrary to John Pilger’s New Statesman article (http://bit.ly/I6Yu6c),
silence didn’t envelop East Timor after
the Indonesian annexation of 1975. Carmel Budiardjo’s TAPOL reported in detail
on the occupation, and a network of MPs from Japan, Australia and the UK campaigned
for East Timor’s liberation.
Francis Story The Search for the Self
The search for Self is vain, because it is a search for something that does not exist except as a mythical concept which has had to be taken into the structure of language by common assent. If it is used in any other way than as a fictitious convenience - if it is taken as meaning something real and enduring - it cannot be anything but a stumbling-block to the development of right understanding.
