How to stop domestic state terrorism - the A,B & C

Tony Gosling, 04-10-2006 21:16

Webster Tarpley's revelations about 'Able Danger' the terrorist exercise team on 911 organised by US Special Forces, mean that we are beginning to identify the true planners, inside the US military, of the 911 attacks. Yet these facts are being deliberately kept from the European public by a Western media who apparently refuse to listen.
So how can those of us who understand that 'False Flag' 911 type attacks have been going on for many years’ work to change that? Read more | 9 comments >>

RAF Brize Norton blockaded, 12th Aug 2006

Simon, 12-08-2006 23:08

A protest called at very short notice outside the main gates of RAF Brize Norton had the unexpected effect of closing the main gates, and possibly the entire base, to all traffic for nearly two hours. Brize Norton is one of the RAF bases reportedly being used to refuel planes delivering bombs from the US to Israel for use in the ongoing massacre of Lebanon. Meanwhile a peace camp is being established nearby to watch for further such flights. Some photos of the day are attached, and with a bit of luck a movie of the more exciting bits should materialise here later. Read more | 7 additions | 6 comments >>

Simon, 10-08-2006 01:54

Peace campaigners in Swindon were in attendance at the annual “Lanterns on the Lake” event at Coate Water, to highlight the reason for the event – the anniversary of the world’s first, and hopefully last, act of nuclear warfare, in Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and also to publicise the protest at Brize Norton this coming Saturday. Things got a bit heated when an Israeli man and his wife took exception to the leaflets being handed out, but fortunately it ended with handshakes and good wishes. Read more >>

Lebanon: Full Color Pictures of the Atrocities

Cyprus IndyMedia editorial collective, 08-08-2006 12:34

In the last few weeks, an increasing number of horrible, very upsetting photos of the massacres committed by Israel have been coming out of Lebanon.

The alternative media are doing everything possible to break the censorship of images that was enforced by the Corporate and authoritarian State media which only show a sanitized war, disinfected images of material destruction.

The smuggling and widespread dissemination of images from The Realm of The Real that are coming out out of Lebanon and Gaza now make all of us uncomfortable. For those of us who do editing and publishing work, they bring up the awful worry of "is this appropriate?" Read more | 3 comments >>

Meet at 9:30am outside Regents Circus college. Four photos from last Sunday’s demonstration in Trafalgar Square are attached, along with a press release from Swindon Stop the War Coalition, and the latest newsletter from stopwar.org.uk Read more >>
