07-11-2007 15:41
It's been years we have asked everybody to take responsibility as
collectively as possible for what the mobilizations against G8 in Genoa
were.
The arrogance of Genoa prosecutors during the final speech of their
accusation in the court case against 25 protestors accused of devastation
and sacking seems to have eventually aroused the hearts and brains of
300000 people that in Genoa opposed themselves to the politics of the G8

07-11-2007 13:14
Liberation theology warns the future of the first world is the third world. Everyday time is replaced by kairos time, the time of decision, when lawlessness masks as lawfulness. The language of proclamation runs crossway to the language of time. Cast your net on the other side! Perhaps the first global finance market crisis will help overcome market radicalism's control of public opinion and rehabilitate state intervention.Public Meeting: The Hidden Holocaust - Our Civilizational Crisis

Dismayed by the the lack of hemp on this site
07-11-2007 11:31
this is regarding the serious lack of hemp in the environmental movement. although it would also help just about every other grassroots movement. i would have thought that being alternative media, there'd be something on hemp. i was especially surprised by the sister site
http://climateimc.org/ which throws up 1 article in a search for "hemp". a search on greenpeace is similarly depressing. www.foe.co.uk is a little better. it seems there's more in the mainstream. eg. www.theecologist.org
