Direct Action Camp in the squatted forest near Frankfurt/Germany

02-09-2008 15:25

The forest of kelsterbach near the airport of frankfurt/main is occupied now since three month. Fraport (the corporation running frankfurt airport) is planning to build a new runway on this place, cutting down every tree on 300ha of land. In total something about 100.000 trees would have to fall for the profit of an enormous international acting corporation. For the people of this region it will mean twice the flight movements per year, at least to a level of one movement every 45 sec. In the first week of september there will be an action camp on the site of occupation, from where we´re going to start countless direct activities in the forests, the streets and the terminals.

Spinning the Wind : New Orleans : no apologies

31-08-2008 21:19

The Republicans want Michael Moore to apologise for saying this "I was just thinking, this Gustav is proof that there is a God in heaven. To just have it planned at the same time, that it would actually be on its way to New Orleans for day one of the Republican convention."

This article is essentially a "compare & contrast".

IBush launched his "Marshall plan" 15 September 2005 to rebuild New Orleans & then 16/9/05 gave one of his most moving speeches on the "first Katrina national prayer day". The houricane had proved "the indifferent power of nature". He then he made 3 commitments speaking from the pulpit of Washington's national cathedral.
