Israeli President Moshe Katzav aids massive penny stock fraud,possible money lau

16-02-2006 02:47

One can say of Saddam Hussein what they wish but to my knowledge Mr.Hussein never aided a penny stock fraud of a mafia connected con artist who may well be responsible for tens of millions of dollars if not well over $100,000,000 + in frauds against Americans caught up in his penny stock scams over the years. Israeli President Moshe Katzav gets credit for that....

G8 2003 cops on trial this week!: www.aubonnebridge.net

12-02-2006 18:05

Hi!
In case you did not know, it is not only the Genoa G8 2001 cops who are on trial, but Swiss cops are in courst this coming week too. The Swiss lawyer for the case of the Aubonne Bridge thinks we have a chance to win. We think if the cops are found guilty, it can send a big message to Russia and Germany, and to tell the Russian and German cops that if they beat people up at the G8 in 2006 or 2007, they can be found guilty too.

We have issued political statements for the radical left, and we also
have press releases for mainstream press, which are on the web-site. The decision of the trial should be next Thursday or Friday and then it will quickly be put on the web-site: www.aubonnebridge.net
If you can pass on this info, or post it on your local or regional IMC's, that would be super helpful!

ciao!

Swiss Police face jail for Nearly Killing Two Activists in Evian 2003

11-02-2006 16:40

In May 2003, an affinity group blockaded the Aubonne Bridge in order to stop a G8 delegation from reaching the summit in Evian. The police cut the climbing rope and nearly killed two activists. Now the policeman who cut the rope and his senior officer are in court. From the 13th to the 15th of February three judges will preside over the trial. More than 25 witnesses including senior police officers and activists who were on the bridge will give evidence during the trial in Nyon.
