False flags: An American tradition

Wikipedia defines false or black flags as "covert operations designed to deceive the public in such a way that the operations appear as though they are being carried out by other entities."

They're "big lies," defined by Merriam-Webster as "deliberate gross distortion(s) of the truth used especially as a propaganda tactic."

America's decade from September 11, 2001 to May 1, 2011 was punctuated by the (big) lie of our time and (big) lie of the moment.

Put another way, the official stories are falsified, myths, widely believed fantasies contrary to reality.

Autonomy for the UK

09-05-2011 11:44 | Indymedia | Birmingham | World

On 1st May 2011 the UK Indymedia Network forked into two autonomous projects, running two different websites, UK Indymedia and Be The Media. Also, a snapshot of the UK Indymedia site as it existed on the date of the the fork was created as an archive.

There was a consensus in the UK Indymedia Network that the project needed to fork, so that Indymedia members with different views could all work on developments they were happy with rather than come into constant conflict. An agreement was made in December to implement the fork on May 1st but the agreement broke down at the eleventh hour. Mayday believed that part of the agreement was that their collective was to have globally recognised Independent Media Centre status at the time of the fork. Be The Media had interpreted this differently and did not see it this way. The consensus that had been thrashed some 4 months before had now snapped and activists, being activists, took action. Be The Media started implementing the changes to the site shortly after midnight on May 1st. Mayday saw what was happening, considered the blocks to have been ignored [1] and felt that if this proceeded it would have in effect shut down the UK Newswire. After several hours of discussion and consideration they agreed they couldn't let it proceed like this and so, in the early hours of May 1st, sleepless techies migrated the entire web site to a new server, thus effecting the fork on the agreed date but not in the way originally planned.

As a result of the alarming rise in temperatures, the outbreak of forest fires right across Britain, and the worldwide escalation in global warming disasters, an appeal is being made for Network X to hold an urgent consultation with all the activist groups with a view to moving en masse into the Hounslow area to create a futuristic eco-village to save the human race from being driven to extinction by the burning of fossil fuels.
Some of the original road protesters from the 1990s have already moved into Hounslow near Heathrow Airport in preparation for working with local residents to help them transform their derelict run-down Dickensian neighbourhood into the world's first fully sustainable eco-town as the earth faces unprecedented ecological cataclysm.

Dancing on the grave of 9/11. Osama and “the Big Lie”

The Obama administration and the corporate media are concocting an ever-more elaborate and spectacular theater around the “heroic” murder of the CIA intelligence myth/CIA asset Osama bin Laden. Not content to simply to exploit the 9/11 atrocity for political gain, the administration is heaping new layers of lie and cover-up to the original crime.

The phony anti-war movement

07-05-2011 16:07 | Analysis | Anti-militarism | Social Struggles | World

The U.S. anti-war movement was always a lot less than it appeared to be. At its height, activists claimed that the sheer weight of visible public opinion would shake power relationships to the very foundation. But it turned out that many of the anti-war legions were actually comprised of partisan Democrats who only opposed Republican wars. “For the phony anti-warrior, imperialism with a Democratic face, is just fine.”

Braindead Fascist EDL Bozos To Protest At Chorley Comedy Gig

This sounds like a wind-up, but sadly it's true. Proving once and for all that they are fascist as well as thick as two short planks, the infernal idiots of the English Defence League are going to protest against comedian Russell Howard for daring to tell a joke against the EDL. Their hero Adolf Hitler burnt books, and yet the so-called "free-speech loving" EDLers want free reign to tweet vile racist jokes around the net, but when someone dares to put the boot on the other foot, the EDL show their true fascist censorship colours.

Workshop :: Medellín :: Colombia :: Recent years have been marked by multiple crises -- of an economic, social, political and environmental nature. It is quite clear that the neoliberal model, based on fossil energy and consumerism, has reached its limits.
