21st Century Dambusters - Fighting Itoiz

07-02-2004 13:33

We live in an age of water wars. The Israeli state occupys the West bank largely to take advantage of it's aquifiers and a recent attempt by the Turkish state to dam the Tigris and Euphrates rivers almost caused war with Syria. The control of rivers through vast dams has been the dream of states and corporations across the world for over 80 years. The Spanish state is no exception. In the North of the Iberian peninsula the Plan Ecologica aims to divert many rivers and put them at the disposal of industry, tourist hotels and intensive agriculture. The water wars are fought between states and within the states -- against the interests of the common peopleand against the very earth itself. In the region of Navarra the Itoiz dam will flood nine villages and destroy the wildlife of two valleys. The struggle against the itoiz dam has reached international prominence through the use of direct action by the ecological group Solidari@s con Itoiz (Solidarity with Itoiz).

Your fearless Freedom reporter caught up with two activists from the Solidari@s asked them some questions. I refer to the two activists only as 'M' and 'C' to keep their identities secret. [from Freedom, Anarchist News and Views newspaper]

Democracy is failing us.. What next? - opening a discussion

07-02-2004 12:45

Representative democracy does not represent. There are no popular checks on those who sit in parliament; the media are either corrupt or cowed down. The law now allows us all to be termed terrorist. This is far from the democratic ideal that I hold.
What is a possible solution?

How Legalized Killing is Done In the U$A

07-02-2004 04:55

The insanity. A taste of what goes on before just one state execution in the U.S.A.
This is institutionalized terrorism.
One has the choice to either bow to the terrorists our of fear (as they hope) , or, out of fear again, oppose these terrorists. If one isn't afraid of US policies and influences, one isn't paying attention.
