The kidnapped Italian journo. Were you on this demo on August 5th?

25-10-2006 20:29

This is Kash does his face ring any bells?
The picture below is of the kidnapped Italian journalist who is being held in Afganistan. He is very distinctive looking. It is know that he covered the massive Lebanon protest in London on August 5th and other anti war related events. If you took photos of him that day (please look at your stuff if you were there) they could be useful to prove to his captors that he is indeed (as he is no doubt telling them) a leftwing Muslim journalist who is anti war and US imperialism.

Please reply to the email below if you know of any useful film or images or recognise him. Any info will be passed onto the National Union of Journalists who are campaigning for his release.

Thanks

Energy depletion & the US descent into fascism

25-10-2006 12:21

In October of 2001, a little over a month after 9/11, I wrote an article titled The Background is Oil. The hypothesis laid out in this article was that the 2000 US presidential election resulted in a coup of neocons and oil interests who had taken control of the US in order to prepare for the coming peak and decline of world oil production. Furthermore, this coup engineered the 9/11 terrorist attacks to further their own interests.

Westbourne 'Mental' Hospital squatted in Brighton/Hove- ooooh, the irony!

25-10-2006 02:52

A couple of weeks ago a large contingent of Brighton squatters got together and occupied a large disused 'mental' hospital. The occupation was ostensibly to provide a roof over the steadily growing number of people fed up and disillusioned with the non-choice offered under the rule of Capital, in the housing sphere as in every other sphere under this systematic death forced upon us; the opportunity will also, however, be used to demonstrate alternative ways of organising day to day, in the here and now, the praxis of the theory, which will take the shape of whatever those organising see fit and within whatever parameters they deem to be appropriate- or in other words, get down there and do something!
