Smokin' Mirrors: Six months on, Harold Pinter and the Nobel Prize

Article by
Journalist

Just over six months ago, Harold Pinter, the author of such classic plays as 'The Caretaker' and 'The Dumb Waiter', won the 2005 Nobel Prize for Literature.


Winner of the
2005 Nobel
Prize for Literature,
Harold Pinter
Not one to waste an opportunity, Pinter gave the acceptance speech of a lifetime, slamming the state of the world today and the governments who have helped shape it. In a week where the Bush administrations doctors have wasted no time defelcting any possible blame for the suicide of three Guantanamo inmates, Smokin' Mirrors thought it might be worth a re-visit to Pinter's speech.

See this link for the video of his speech.

Next week's Smokin' Mirrors compares a widely circulated email regarding a gold and silver mine in Chile to the response the company has sent us. Stay tuned!

See you next week.

I have written for music mags in Australia, hosted an produced a radio show in Australia for a year, writing mainly political stories, but also had a live band in once a week and would interview them, and I have just been published in a major Australian newspaper. I am now an intern for a magazine here in Japan.

Politics is one of the most frustrating, intriguing and enlightening topics to write about. I live in hope that young people will become more aware of who their politicians are, and passionate about using their voices.

There is no such thing as church law, sharia law or any other religious law. The law of the land, Government law, or International law applies. Religious entities simply do not have the legal power or authority to create or apply laws.
