Do the capital markets undermine democracy? This question was hardly ever raised because all criticism of free capital transactions and democracy was regarded as politically incorrect.. Democracy would be good. However the governments do not play by the rules of the game.March to War: Naval build-up in the Persian Gulf and the Eastern Mediterranean

There is an evident military build-up of conventional, ground, air, naval, and nuclear forces in and around the Middle East and Central Asia. It includes the mobilization of British troops on the Iranian border, and the extension of military tours of service in Anglo-American occupied Iraq and NATO garrisoned Afghanistan. Many of the Arab dictatorships will also secretly support the Anglo-American alliance.Caritas Sony - dawn raided this morning

Israeli And French Tanks Face Off In Lebanon
02-10-2006 19:32
Usually, Israeli leaders ignore UN Resolutions because they come from the General Assembly, so they don't consider them legally-binding. In this case, however, the order for them to withdraw comes from the Security Council, and is legally-binding.Israel has already displayed its willingness to murder UN workers who get in their way, or dare to criticize their methods, when they fall into the category of War Crimes.

Remember that in the case of Pearl, despite just coming from Israel, when he was arrested by Iraqi Police, he was found in possession of antisemitic literature and a Koran. Before he could be processed and questioned, however, he was whisked away by Western "security forces" - then ended up in a bizarre beheading video, used to whip up Islamophobia in the US/UK, and rally support for the illegal war in Iraq.BRITAIN: The mysterious case of the disappearing 'terror’ plots

Indymedia at the Camp for Climate Action 2006: Report & Personal View
02-10-2006 18:12
During the Climate Camp, the field IMC media centre was open for a minimum of five hours each day (two and a half each morning and evening), with these limited opening hours primarily aimed to conserve power. Some days it was open longer, and it ran fully all day for two days until about midnight during the main day of action.
Mostly the imc ran on bio-diesel, but there was also a renewables power feed and some battery capacity. Twelve P1 laptops running via an LTSP server from Bristol Wireless provided the core public access, plus varying at different times up to five more modern laptops were running.
Two tents provided the main structures, one for the main imc / Public Access Point and one more as storage and kitchen. Chairs came from a social centre in Manchester, and table tops were donated by TRIM timber recycling of Manchester. 6 tables were set up balanced on top of hay bales (looking very rustic) while another 6 table tops had very sturdy legs masterfully constructed from scrap timber. The satellite dish providing connectivity from Psand was similarly balanced on top of four hay bales, but was in fact rock solid once ratcheted down - again a nice mix of rustic charm with hi tech.
Around 145 pictures were published direct from the field IMC, including two mobile phone pics (non-automated). Dispatch had over 50 phone reports on the main day of action. Several audio interviews and video clips were published. One freelance videographer was arrested and had their footage seized by cops. There was lots of good filming going on, and on the Friday night, over one hour of rushes were screened in two different tents to an appreciative audience! Several different sections of these are now fully published in IMC UK's Climate Camp page.
A big well done to all involved in setting up, running, participating and taking down the centre!
