Another Fake Terror Plot

05-06-2007 17:08

The weekend’s news in the US was dominated by screaming headlines and sensationalist broadcast coverage of an alleged plot in New York to blow up John F. Kennedy International Airport’s jet fuel tanks and supply lines. The attack would have been, according to many accounts, “more devastating than September 11.”

Four men were charged in an indictment [ http://www.usdoj.gov/usao/nye/pr/2007/Defreitas.complaint.pdf] unveiled Sunday that included features that have become almost invariable in every such “terror” case brought by the government in recent years. First, the suspects had not only carried out no acts of terror, but they apparently lacked any means to realize such an attack. Second, a central figure in the alleged plot was a paid undercover informant of the FBI.

Rostock: rap against fortress Europe

04-06-2007 20:46

Video
Thousands of people demonstrated against the Border Regime in Rostock this afternoon. There was a rally at a detention centre in the suburbs of Rosstock with speakers from the detention centre. What followed was a lively march into the centre of Rosstock, although the police didn't want the march to reach it's intended destination - the city's harbour, where the police provoked a surreal riot on Saturday.

The march organisers were apparently told by the police to follow an alternative route, but they refused and thousands of people made their own way to the harbour with the help of a sound system playing some banging tunes and an amazing political rap about Europe's border regime.
