Compromised US Military Considers Nuclear Option
Arab fighters and insurgents have demonstrated to the world that the US is a ‘superpower’ in name only. A poorly armed and trained but highly motivated and dedicated band of fighters has exposed the US military as weak, inept, unskilled, brutal and bereft. From South America to the Himalayas, resistance against capitalist plunder and exploitation signals the inevitable failure of militaristic capitalism. Regardless of all other considerations people today have confirmed that they will fight any aggressor who threatens their homes, families and way of life.UK police arrest stars of award-winning film "The Road to Guantanomo" under the

West Midlands Anarchists-Minutes 10/02/06
Minutes from the latest meeting held by West Midlands Anarchists groupStop the Oxford Animal Lab - Take Action!!
The campaign against Oxford University`s prison of pain & torture currently under construction, is one which we simply cannot afford to lose. The animal rights movement stopped the construction of a primate death camp in Cambridge and we have previously halted construction in Oxford for 17 months. We can and must stop them again, for the sake of the many thousands of animals that will be mutilated, burnt, infected, poisoned and murdered inside that hellhole if it ever gets built. NCADC - Must Stay!
National Coalition of Anti-Deportation Campaigns (NCADC)NCADC went bust on Saturday the 4th of February when all funding for the full time staff and running costs of all offices came to an end. With immediate effect we have to announce the closure of NCADC's North East & Scotland office on Tuesday 28th February and barring a miracle the closure of the North West Office in Manchester will follow at the end of March and complete closure of NCADC in May.

FREE ANDY KIRK WEBSITE
Andrew Patrick Kirk has been sentenced to an outrageous three months in prison. He is autistic. Those of us who have campaigned with him are worried he will not be able to cope inside prison.Permanent War
US Secretary of Defence, Donald Rumsfeld, recently announced the ‘war on terror’ would be re-named “the long war”; this announcement has not surprised analysts who are aware that neo-con ideologues and strategists follow the Straussian (and perverted Trotskyist) doctrine of permanent war. Some interpret this as nostalgia for the ‘good old days’ of the Cold War in which a clearly defined enemy (communist bogeymen) kept the nation on permanent alert and amenable to the powers of the time.LET IT BE KNOWN - Propagandized stupider than the fates will allow
Let it be known, that the senior management national newsreducers of CBC and CNN, know full well, they would rather
watch American Soldiers die as the thieving bad guys, than to
defend God's America by reporting that the demon enemy George
W. Bush, and his business partner General Ahmad, committed
the terrorist acts of 9/11, along with Rumsfeld, Rice, Cheney,
and Myers.

Critical Mass is an organised coincidence of bikes and other non-polluting forms of transport that come together on the first Friday of every month in Birmingham to collectively reclaim some of the city’s roads. Birmingham’s Critical Mass is normally dormant throughout the winter so it was inspiring to see nearly 20 people on this ride and a great response from pedestrians who were cheering us on. The monthly ride is picking up momentum and is set to snowball for spring and the summer. There are also plans to screen a CM film at Birmingham University and a ride afterwards feeding into the main mass sometime in the future. Here are some photos of Brum’s February Critical Mass.

David Cameron Spins Faster than the Tornado
Coinciding with the Tory party’s latest efforts to market itself as a party concerned with social justice and urban regeneration, neo-Tory leader David Cameron MP paid a second visit on 20th January, 2006, to the Tornado-hit area of Balsall Heath in South Birmingham. On the face of it, it seems Cameron had been invited by local resident Rohan Green, who claims to have approached Cameron during his last visit to Birmingham during the Tory leadership campaign last November. The last time Eton-educated Cameron came to Birmingham, he spoke about promoting Conservatism in urban constituencies and using the voluntary sector and social enterprise rather than the state to tackle deprivation and promote social justice. Cameron’s visit to Birchwood Road and Alder Road was ironically preceded by a visit to St. Paul’s School in Balsall Heath, which is currently faced with imminent closure by his Tory-led City Council. The fact that this visit was also filmed for the Conservative Party reveals something about the real intentions Cameron and Brum’s Tory-led Council have for the still-recovering inner city area hit by the 2005 Tornado.
