As most 'activists' in the squatting community will confirm, the legal wrangling of bailiffs turning up and people being evicted from a site usually run along the same lines...The bailiffs turn up, with some lock smith looking (usually) blokes with tools and then get in any available entrance to get people out...Anarchist Zones are not so easy to get rid of though, as the following article on the current resistance at JB SPRAY SQUAT will show...(apologies for the shoddy google translations, but hey, im trying to show solidarity, not perfect language skills)

Rod Coronado given 4 months in jail for breeching probation terms and Friending a know ELF activist!

A number of antiwar forums have been experiencing 504 Gateway attacks.
Are they from government intelligence, corporate, war profiteer or other sources?

100 Cities against Stoning – 28 August 2010: How to plan an action day to save Sakineh’s life

In a very real sense, the war plans against Iran, which has been on the Pentagon's drawing board for more than five years, threatens the future of humanity.

This war can be prevented if people forcefully confront their governments, pressure their elected representatives, organize at the local level in towns, villages and municipalities, spread the word, inform their fellow citizens as to the implications of a nuclear war, initiate debate and discussion within the armed forces.

The holding of mass demonstrations and antiwar protests is not enough. What is required is the development of a broad and well organized grassroots antiwar network which forcefully challenges the legitimacy of war, a global people's movement which criminalizes war.

There's plenty of discussion on how we should lift African countries out of poverty and debt. Yet it's rarely asked what the root causes of Africa's staggering poverty, and what is the role of white Westerners in it?

As the mainstream media spins it's wheels on the issue of the economy, few even consider the possibility that it's the entire economic system itself that is the problem.

Charles Taylor trial ignores who really controls the world trade in “precious metals”.
The control of the diamond industry in Liberia has never been under the control of its people. Of course this fact of history will not be brought into the current trial of Charles Taylor. Neither will the fact that the United States administration under George Bush played an instrumental role in overthrowing Taylor through the Guinea-based Liberians United for Reconciliation and Development (LURD) rebel group that received arms and training from Washington. One major criticism of the Taylor trial and other efforts to bring

The dominant feature of the Arroyo administration was pervasive corruption, but its most destructive legacy in the long term will probably be its policy failures. The ascent to power of a new president, backed by a new Congress, provides the opportunity for a fundamental shift in policy in order to end poverty and re-launch the Philippines on the road to development.

It has been a week since 17 political prisoners currently detained in Evin Prison in Tehran, have gone on hunger strike.

War preparations to attack Iran are in "an advanced state of readiness". Hi-tech weapons systems including nuclear warheads are fully deployed. Public opinion, swayed by media hype is tacitly supportive, indifferent or ignorant as to the likely impacts of what is upheld as an ad hoc "punitive" operation directed against Iran's nuclear facilities. The prospect of war against Iran is presented to public opinion as an issue among others. It is not front-page news. The devastating consequences of a nuclear war are either trivialised or simply not mentioned. The fact that an attack on Iran could lead to escalation and potentially unleash a "global war" is not a matter of concern. The scale of anti-war protest in relation to Iran has been minimal in comparison to the mass demonstrations which preceded the 2003 bombing and invasion of Iraq.

Courageous Austrian-Irish journalist Jane Burgermeister, who broke the story of the World Health Organization's genocidal false pandemic, is now in grave danger in Austria from the NWO-controlled Austrian government, which is about to take away her freedom. This could trigger her suicide, with the world losing a valuable life. Here is the story in Jane's own words, and some ideas in mine on what we might do to prevent this.

Wake up call: Stand up!

'Multi corporations' are being helped by 'politicians' and 'programmed unconscious people' to wreck our world within shortest possible time. Great rap song: Stand up!

On the morning after the Democracy Village anti-war campaign is evicted by private bailiffs from the grass at Parliament Square, anti-war campaigners gather on the pavement to assess the success of the campaign and to vow to continue to remain in the Square to press upon the British Government the case for withdrawal of British military forces from Afghanistan and the continuing occupation of the country.

A racist troll who lives in London has been stalking and libeling 23 various people on the Internet. Some lost their jobs because of his lies. One he could frame for murder threats and this with the help of the London police department,the Finnish police and the Greek police. Sounds like a conspiracy and most likely it is.

"We, Ambassadors and Heads of Mission of the Member States of the Bolivarian Alliance of the people of our America -– ALBA -- in the Islamic Republic of Iran condemn the destabilizing and militaristic aspirations of the United States’ Government and its allies, specially the Zionist government of Israel, whose acts lead to a conflict scene against Iran which will be extended to all the Middle East.

We ratify the support of our governments to the sovereign right of the Islamic Republic of Iran to generate atomic energy and use it with peaceful aims, the right of all the nations laid down in the NPT (Non-Proliferation Treaty)."

What with all the hype in the news about movements to change this and movements to change that, global activisits this and global activists that, negative press here and in fighting there, I thought I'd knock up this questionnairre type thing, so we can figure out just what the fuck we're doing in this movement (the alternative globalisation movement, i mean...)
