(corrected) Christian-based direct action gathering, Leeds, 28th-30th July

07-07-2006 13:35

CHRISTIANITY HELPED TO CREATE CAPITALISM...NOW IT MUST DESTROY IT!

Now listen, you rich people, weep and wail because of the misery that is coming upon you. Your wealth has rotted, and moths have eaten your clothes. Your gold and silver are corroded. Their corrosion will testify against you and eat your flesh like fire. You have hoarded wealth in the last days. Look! The wages you failed to pay the workmen who mowed your fields are crying out against you. The cries of the harvesters have reached the ears of the Lord Almighty. You have lived on earth in luxury and self-indulgence. You have fattened yourselves in the day of slaughter. You have condemned and murdered innocent men, who were not opposing you. (James 5:1-6)

Annual Independence FROM America demonstration at NSA Menwith Hill

07-07-2006 13:19

Campaign for the Accountability of American Bases
American 'Independence Day' at Menwith Hill used to be a grand affair - being a key date in the American calendar. One year the 'Red Arrows' came and there was always a big firework display on 4 July. This year the Americans at Menwith Hill held 'Independence Day' on the Saturday before 4 July - a bit like saying that a key religious festival eg Christmas Day is being moved to another day perhaps (maybe because we were there again calling for Independence FROM America?)

Review of Milan Rai's "7/7" (London Bombings)

07-07-2006 06:35

Below is a book review of Milan Rai's new book, "7/7: The London Bombings, Islam and the Iraq War". The article juxtaposes 7/7 with 9/11, in part because I am an American writer-journalist living in England, but mostly because both Americans and Britons are demanding answers to legitimate, unanswered questions which their governments have tried to obscure.

The piece is available with hypertext links via my iNoodle.com blog:
