German Nazis last invaded Birmingham between 9 August 1940 and 23 April 1943 with 77 ferocious raids, 1852 tons of bombs dropped on the city including 5,219 high explosive bombs and 48 parachute mines, causing in 2,241 deaths and 3,010 injuries. Under the criminal leadership of Stephen Yaxley Lennon, Germanic Nazism will once again invade Birmingham on Saturday the sixth of February 2016, this time, not dropping bombs of death and destruction, but incendiary packages of pure, unadulterated hatred and fear straight into Birmingham's multicultural communities, under the banner of Pegida UK. Like London and Liverpool, brave Brummies resisted fascism before, and will again, as large swathes of local people joined by antifascists from all over the country link up to oppose the destructive return of national socialism to the city. Besides a large anti-racist demo in the city, militant ANTIFA are set to spring up along the route of Pegida's hate march between Birmingham Airport and the NEC when the invaders are least expecting it. Unity is the key, and just as Oswald Mosley's goosesteps were physically opposed in Liverpool, Manchester and the East End of London, so once again must Tommy "The Tit" Robinson's street incursion be sent packing.

The English Democrats have a thing for homophobic ex-boxers, going on at the moment, and aptly named candidate Paul Rimmer from Liverpool, who got thrown out of the party then let back in, umpteen times for his Christian fundamentalism, doesn't uphold his beloved "Christian work ethic", instead spending all of his free time shouting at President Obama across the Atlantic, prattling on with anti-black, ablist, anti-abortion and homophobic remarks, as if Mr President gives a shit about the views of some washed-up fat ex-boxing nazi. A supporter of female neo-Nazi Anne Marie Waters' Sharia Watch and Pegida, Rimmer should leave Liverpool, a city of tolerance out of shame for being such an intolerant dickhead.

A new report from the Coal Action Network exposes the untold human and environmental stories of the coal supply chain. Ditch Coal calls on the government to phase out coal faster than its suggested end of 2025. The extreme situations surrounding mines in Russia, Colombia, the USA and the UK which supply the UK's power stations show that coal energy is an extreme energy. 24% of electricity generated in 2015 came from coal.

Malware isn’t all about identity theft, banking frauds or ransom extortion. In fact, the overwhelming majority of malicious applications on the loose seem to have a much milder adverse impact, but the frustration caused to the victims is still immeasurable.

"You have to treat the public as potential terrorists - not as citizens", says Jeff Halper, describing the logic of the endgame of global capitalism, which he describes in his book as a "Global War Against The People". Pointing to its huge security-industrial-intelligence complex, he looks at Israel as a leader in this new economy. By exploiting the Palestinians as a resource, its research into methods of controlling a subject population has assisted in the development of weapons technologies such as drones and nanobots. In our second hour, we read a paper which looks at social structures and linguistic frames which are being rolled out to support hegemony worldwide by deliberately blurring the distinctions between violent terrorism and non-violent dissent.

Not everybody in life acts rationally, however professional racists who spend hours travelling to reach faraway hate rallies have serious personality disorders. To spend your spare time helping people in need, is an admirable way to use up your precious time. To keep friends and family company parked sedately in front of the telly is an understandable part of life for many. Even to languish idly down the pub doing nothing, is okay. Travelling half way across the country just to chant racial abuse at non-white people, is anything but normal. The kind of person who indulges in such pointlessly extreme antisocial behaviour, requires psychiatric help to treat their compulsion. Whilst football hooligans nurtured on an "away day" mentality treated far-flung trips to fight opponents as a sporting endeavour, those committed full-time racists not looking for a fight have no excuse to waste their lives away in the pursuit of unhappiness.

ABAB is like a hint at a door to a person hitting its head against a wall. Of course, in the forest, where ABAB is real, there are neither walls nor doors, only heads and sometimes not even that. ABAB started as a thought experiment aimed at researching, documenting and correcting a fundamental flaw in the organisation of the human species that has put the lion´s share of it on an extinction track, and consequentially developed into a multiplication force of the archetypal knowledge for the survival thereof.

When you refer to ‘Islamic factor’ stay fully aware of how different Islam may actually be in Pakistan, Turkey, Saudi Arabia or Indonesia. The versions of Islam in these countries have more differences rather than similarities. In case of Indonesia, we should focus at several local peculiarities: the world’s biggest Muslim community, well-thought and balanced foreign policy of Indonesian leaders based on moderate approach to resolving global issues, and at the same time the sophisticated mixture of inner tasks aimed to bar Islamic radical elements from power in the country.
