04-11-2009 09:06
As it is announced that 5 UK soldiers were shot by an Afghani policeman yesturday (bringing total UK army dead in Afghanistan since the start of intervention there to 212), here is a timely reminder of the real reason the west in over there which has been consistently and systematically hidden from public view - preparing the ground for the passage of the construction of an oil pipeline (like most people reading here didn't know or suspect).Shouting and fireworks at Lewes Prison, Sussex

Pittsburgh: A new testing ground for acoustic weapons
03-11-2009 13:27
The mass mobilisation against September's G20 Summit in Pittsburgh was met with a characteristically brutal response from US Homeland 'Security'. In many ways, police repression of UK protests pales in comparison to American political policing, with activists being routinely arrested under various terrorism-related charges and local and federal law enforcement agencies rolling out military style operations, complete with temporary detention facilities and costing hundreds of thousands of dollars each. The Pittsburgh police, however, may well have distinguished themselves as hitting a new low in the erosion of US civil liberty. Alongside US police staples such as rubber bullets, tear gas and 'flash bang' stun grenades, the Pittsburgh authorities unleashed an acoustic weapon, one of a new generation of 'non-lethal' military devices, used not only to disperse and intimidate protesters, but to gain control over their behaviour.Five arrested at nuke base in US Trident Plowshares disarmament action

03-11-2009 05:16
Five years ago it would be unthinkable that a harsh critique of capitalism would attract a mass audience. But this is exactly what Michael Moore’s new movie — Capitalism: A Love Story — has done. The source of Moore’s success is his willingness to focus on what the media ignores: the human faces behind unemployment, bankruptcy, foreclosures, evictions, etc., and the faces benefiting from this misery — the corporate-elite sitting atop the financial system.This reality has quickly educated millions of Americans, who now understand that our economic system is dominated by a tiny crust of super-rich individuals, bailing themselves out with taxpayer money while playing deaf to an exploding social crisis.
