UKRAINE GET IT IF YOU REALLY WANT

03-12-2004 17:51

In the short term, if Ukrainian people manage to get rid of censorship, systematic police brutality, corruption and state ordered killings, that in itself will be a victory. But in the long run, something new has been born. Call it “civil society” or “autonomous networks of resistance”, whatever it’s called, it will influence future events and, hopefully set an example to people everywhere

US Elections : Ralph Nader, un candidat baîlloné dans une élection sans enjeux

03-12-2004 11:23

Ralph NADER combat pour la Justice depuis quarante ans
En combattant la candidature de Ralph Nader, qui porte les idées progressistes depuis plusieurs décennies, pour donner un blanc-seing au clone démocrate de G.W. Bush, les notables du mouvement « N’importe Qui Sauf Bush » ont ruiné cinq années de mobilisation croissante depuis la naissance du mouvement alter-mondialiste en 1999 à Seattle, jusqu’au mouvement anti-guerre qui a rassemblé des millions de personnes dans le monde en 2003, et qui exige aujourd’hui la fin de l’occupation étrangère en Irak et en Palestine. Au moment où la prétendue "guerre contre le terrorisme" s'intensifie, le mouvement pacifiste reste à reconstruire.

Lest We Forget Eureka Stockade!

03-12-2004 04:13

On October 16, 1975, five journalists filming the Indonesian invasion of East Timor, for Australian TV channels, were killed at a place called Balibo. This name seems set to become one of the rallying cries of 2nd Renaissance secession movements in Australia. The facts surrounding the Balibo killings are so damning of the central governments of Australia and Indonesia that the event will rank in Australian consciousness with the Eureka Stockade uprising of 1854.

A duty or a privilege to kill George W. Bush?

03-12-2004 01:17

!hardhitting rappers!!
A Norwegian hip-hop band called Gatas Parlament has started a campaign to collect money so that 'someone can kill that man', as they put it. Why should he be able to sleep at night when he is responsible for killings worldwide?, approximately so asks the band. Their own answer is that 'it is the most sensible thing to do"!

Campaign website (in Norwegian):  http://www.killhim.nu/.
