Addressing the Financial Crisis is not a distraction from Peak Oil/Climate Change
06-10-2008 11:05
Addressing the problems issues that arise out of the financial crisis - above all by developing local currencies - is not a distraction from peak oil and climate change. The financial crisis is creating turmoil - but creating an opportunity and necessity to change the way money is created and managed.Demo At Ilkley Council Surgery Against Grouse Shoot

The eviction of the Shipley Bodge anti-open cast mine squat in Derbyshire cost the local police force £58,000. UK Coal, the legal owners of the land, will be billed for some of the expenses. The full cost of the eviction to UK Coal, who hired bailiffs and equipment, is expected to have been much higher.Ilkley Shoot Demo - This Saturday

2000 Days of Occupation - Hands Off Iraqi Oil action to target Cheney
30-09-2008 10:21
2000 days of occupation and the oil lobby and neo-conservative right still haven't got what they came for. Iraq's oil is still unprivatised but for how long? With just over 100 days to go until the end of Bush and Cheney's term in office, the crude pair are redoubling their efforts to secure the black stuff for US oil majors. Monday October 13th sees 41 international oil companies meet the Iraqi oil minister in London, to discuss the oil carve up they have waited so long for and which has been such a key factor in the deaths of over a million Iraqis. Lets get out on the streets on Saturday October 11th and remind them an Iraqi and a global movement demands the end to the occupation and their oil grab plans. End the occupation Now, Hands Off Iraqi Oil...EV-EON: Nice Bit Of Subvertising (Shame About The Solutions)
30-09-2008 09:19
Here’s something nice from a group that brainstormed an idea at the 2008 Climate Camp; EV-EON [
http://www.ev-eon.com]. EON want to build the first of a whole raft of coal-fired power stations in the UK, so these guys decided - and I’m guessing there are a few graphic designers and web bods involved - to make a spoof, which works well. Stalking the Solitaire

Saving Iceland Targets International Aluminium Conference
25-09-2008 23:00
Today, the 11th International Conference on Aluminium Aloys (ICAA) met with angry protests. Activists from the environmentalist network Saving Iceland disrupted the proceedings at the University in Aachen, Germany. Early this morning, during one of Rio Tinto Alcan’s lectures, the fire alarms in the building were put on. Later today - again during Rio Tinto Alcan’s lecture - stink bombs were thrown and a high volume rape alarm was put on and suspended out of reach by green and black helium baloons. The auditorium was also strewn with information leaflets. The aim was to call attention to the industry’s singular involvement in ecological destruction in Iceland, as well as on a global scale.Arts Show Attacks Shane Meadows
