Proof that Left Link is used by overseas black radicals as an information
source:
Below is tangible proof that Left Link, that Australian Labor Party extreme
left wing off-shoot is used as an overseas information source by radical
groups overseas.
Nattyreb is an extremist on-line overseas black group who sow hatred
and lies with distorted stories about "their black brothers plight" - note
how racist this group is - it is only the plight of "blacks" like
terrorist Lorenzo Kom'boa Ervin that get sympathetic coverage.
Lorenzo Ervin has used
Left
Link to promote a boycott of the Sydney 2000 Olympics
Within hours of the post (below in red) being
placed on Left Link it was broadcast to Nattyreb's private global mailing
list (see post above in blue).

>The Anarchist Network is directly linked to another Australian

>Here is a quote from the Anarchist Black Cross page: "We don't place

>non-violence is not a criterion for support. We hope that we can
>encourage activists by providing assurance that even if you are
>persecuted for your activities, the movement will not abandon you: we

>Anarchist Black Cross lists cat@lyst - community activist info node

>The cat@lyst "Anarchist archive includes this revelation on the
>attitudes of this group to our police force: "We can only be free of
>the Police State when we refuse to condone it. We must refuse to
>cooperate with its activities. We must challenge the free reign of

>and accept no excuses. We must expose all police criminals and kick

> * (in early August) the Nyungah Circle of Elders replied to Ervin's

> * this was followed (in late August 1997) by Ervin's subsequent Left
