Palestine / Israel Mapping: A Talk: London This Friday

One land, two people. That's how it's usually represented. And after all, both Palestinians and Israelis display the map, the one map from the Mediterranean to the Jordan river, from the gulf of Aqaba to the Lebanese border. If you can't read Arabic or Hebrew you might not notice the difference between a Israeli and a Palestinian map. But is it really one land? What happens when one place has two names? Read more >>

FULL MOON SUMMER SOLSTICE

$HUT DOWN TH€ G8 TO H€LL

THE QUEEN'S HEAD LIES ATOP THE PYRAMID OF BRITISH HIERARCHICAL POWER BUT IT IS THE MYTH OF DEMOCRACY THAT DELEGATES HER RESPONSIBILITIES TO TONY BLAIR VIA THE AFRICA COMMISSION. RATHER THAN EMPOWER AFRICAN NATIONS, THE WHITE SUPREMACISTS OF THE G8 HAVE CLEARLY LAID OUT A PROGRAMME OF FURTHER EXPLOITATION USING FINANCIAL REGULATION AND CONTROL FOR MANY MORE CENTURIES TO COME.

Chinese Spies and Defectors

The recent bid of a disaffected Chinese consular official to defect in Australia has displayed some curious behaviour from all concerned, not the least being the ineptitudes of Chinese government officials. Representatives of sovereign powers are not usually intimidated by journalists; however, during an interview (on the Australian media) the Chinese ambassador’s response to a question regarding the claim that three thousand Chinese 'spies' were operating in Australia, exhibited all the inexperience expected from Chinese officials in matters of international espionage.

Genoa G8 retrospective (Sat 11th, London)

With plans for massive protests in Scotland next month for the 2005 G8 summit now developing rapidly, this event at the rampART offers a chance to look back at learn from the experiences of the 2001 G8 summit in Genoa.

"300.000 people were protesting in july 2001 against the g8 in Genoa: the collective dream 'another world is possible' turned into a nightmare overwhelmed by the violence by the police, finding it's climax in the murder of Carlo Giuliani."

Saturday 11th June (after the Naked Bike Ride and before the Reclaim The Future Party so you don't have to miss out on anything and can experience a real roller coaster of highs and lows)

This is a chance to speak and share experiences with people who took part in the protests against the G8 in 2001. This is not an event intended to scare anyone. It is an important chance to reflect and learn and most importantly PREPARE for Scotland...

What happened in Genoa? Why did it happen? Could it have been avoided or handled better? What does any of this mean for us this July? What precautions and preparation should we be making and are we!? These are just some of the possible valuable questions we can discuss on Saturday.

Were you in Genoa? Please come to rampART on saturday and share your experiences of the event and the aftermath.

Are you going to Scotland? Please come on saturday and ensure you are fully aware of what lessons our collective history may have to offer.

Are you party of a team working on accomodation, alt media, legal monitoring, or medical aid etc for Scotland? Please come let people know what is being organised and how they can help.

These ideas have now become reality in “Spirituality Shopper” Channel 4, 8pm on Monday, June 6th, 2005. Padgett has received no acknowledgement or recognition for this and says “It is about time that religious program makers applied some of the standards that they preach and became accountable for plagiarism”.
