Latest rebellions in South Africa: Pics and analysis

24-07-2009 17:49

The hungry will eat
The international press has been giving considerable coverage to the locally organised series of increasingly militant rebellions that have been sweeping South Africa. But I see that they are generally using the resolutely anti-political language of 'service delivery protests' to explain what is happening - it reminds me of E.P. Thompson's point about the spasmodic mode of interpreting popular political action.

Richard Pithouse introduces a recent article about the rebellions with some quick updates

U.S.: Honduras Coup a "Lesson" for Zelaya Not to Follow Venezuela's Path

24-07-2009 17:00

"What a fantastically unwise statement to have made. Let's assure that it backfires on U.S. hopes." General Joe

It may not be Zelaya that is the "learner" here. It seems that the "Clinton" Dept of State is still behind the times in not seeing more clearly how "our world" has changed." The workers, farmers, students, and all the civil society of Honduras demand respect and space for true democracy from their "neighbor" to the north. The whole world is watching to assure that they get just that."

Tony Blair's Commemorative bench removed

24-07-2009 10:33

 http://www.dontpaniconline.com/magazine/power/tony-blairs-commemorative-bench-removed
An update on the bench in the private park outside Tony Blair's house that we commemorated to those killed and tortured in his 'War on Terror'... THEY REMOVED THE ENTIRE THING! Slightly annoying - we wanted to have an official unveiling ceremony. Don't know why they had to remove the entire thing. Maybe that No More Nails is even tougher than we thought. Or maybe it was one of those OCD things... Tony was like, "No just get rid of it! Get rid of the whole thing. It's ruined now, totally ruined!" Seems a bit of a waste of taxpayers' money if you ask me. Original film below.

Duncan Ball outside Sellafield during Peace Vigil of 2007
Talented poet and former nuclear foreman Duncan Ball died on July 17th aged 49. He was a man who tried repeatedly to blow the whistle on unsafe practices in the Magnox plant at Sellafield where he was employed as a foreman. His subsequent experience followed the same route as the dissident scientists who were sacked from Sellafield after expressing doubts about nuclearsafety in the 70’s (NEW STATESMAN July 1983)

Zelaya Heads Home to Honduras on the Anniversary of Bolívar’s Birth

23-07-2009 20:05

"Presuming that thousands of Hondureños and Hondureñas will flock to the border to accompany their President, a land crossing like this presents various dilemmas to the coup regime, which claims to have 18 criminal charges lined up to imprison Zelaya, but blinked from the opportunity to arrest him on July 5, when it blocked a runway to prevent his airplane from landing. To arrest him, the regime would have to violently break through a multitude of its country's own citizens. If it does arrest Zelaya, he will become an even more powerful symbol from prison inspiring greater resistance to the coup."
