Spanish Republican ex-political prisoners scolded in Congress for flag

14-06-2008 22:35 | Culture | World

It was supposed to be a day in which the current Spanish state paid lip-service to the memory of the legitimate 2nd republic overthrown by Franco in the preamble to the second world war. Accordingly ex-political prisoners who were imprisoned for their Republican loyalties during the Franco dictatorship were invited to sit in the lower house of the Spanish parliament and look like nice well adjusted elderly people who despite knowing that more than 200,000 of their fellows are still in unmarked graves, feel really special and adjusted now. Then one of them started waving the flag of the 2nd republic about.

Dear Londoners, Please tell Bush to get stuffed!

I live 400 miles away in Edinburgh and would love to be there to protest Bush's disgraceful visit. I was there in 2003 for his State visit when the giant statue was toppled in Trafalgar Square. This time I'll be there in spirit. Best of luck to all who get there to tell him he's not welcome.

Solidarity actions for Sean Kirtley

Sean along with many others had his door smashed in and his house raided by police back in 2006 as part of “Operation Tornado” which was designed to start a case and try and lock up peaceful animal rights campaigners using new SOCPA legislation which was created to protect the vivisection industry from effective campaigners such as Sean and the Sequani defendants.

On May 30th 2008 Sean was found guilty of "conspiracy to interfere with contractual relationships so as to harm an animal research organisation" and was sentenced to four and a half years for his role in running the SSAT (Stop Sequani Animal Testing) website.

Since his imprisonment there have been solidarity actions from Yorkshire, the south west and as far away as Mexico.

"Slavic Tigers" aborted with help of "Irish Anarchists"

14-06-2008 20:05 | Analysis | Migration | World

Yesterday Irish citizens resident in Ireland were invited to vote in a referendum on the "Treaty of Lisbon". They constitute less than 1% of the total population of the EU. Its democracy is unique in that only resident citizens are allowed vote. Though being an Irish citizen as a continental European worker, I could not vote. Notwithstanding as an anarchist I wouldn't have voted anyway. Ireland is rated as being one of the richest states in the EU according to those statistics of the dreary science economics and most people including themselves attribute such prosperity to their membership of the EEC, then EC and finally EU. They even invented a name for this great wealth which oddly enough accompanied the highest income disparity and social inequality in the developed world. They called it "the Celtic Tiger".

Letter from Paola Gori in prison, Italian Eco-Anarchist

14-06-2008 09:48 | Animal Liberation | Ecology | Repression | World

"On the 29th of May 2008 the Italian police raided a number of houses whose occupants are connected to the eco-anarchist group 'Il Silvestre'. The charge against those raided this time is "subversive conspiracy". It is alleged that Il Silvestre activists robbed a post office to help fund their alleged direct action activities and publish their literature. As a result of these latest raids Paola has been remanded into custody.

Is this why the west is attacking Mugabe: New Zimbabwe law: white-owned business

14-06-2008 05:20 | Social Struggles | World

HARARE, Zimbabwe - President Robert Mugabe has signed a new law requiring
foreign-and white-owned businesses in Zimbabwe to hand over 51 per cent control
of their operations to blacks.

The new law is part of Mugabe's election campaign strategy of what he calls
"economic empowerment."

Zimbabwe: Politics and Food Aid

14-06-2008 04:26 | Social Struggles | World

There is no evidence that the government of Zimbabwe is using food "as a political tool to intimidate voters ahead of an election" or that it is deliberately denying "hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of Zimbabweans" food aid, as Human Rights Watch and The New York Times allege.

IDF Furious After Settlers Fake Kidnapping

The point of this episode, of course, was to draw attention away from the film showing a settler-Extremist attack on elderly Palestinian farmers, and provoke the war on Gaza these Extremists think the Israeli Govenrment have abandoned.

Bush's Deadly "Diplomacy"

14-06-2008 03:35 | Anti-militarism | World

The point, of course, is that there is no crisis in need to 'diplomacy', sanctions, or war. This entire phony episode has been fabricated in order to feign another justification for a war that was planned years before Bush was installed to the White House.

Issues with a London Animal Rights "Activist" and a dead dog.

13-06-2008 22:02 | Animal Liberation | World

Some of us know about this....a so-called AR activists homed a Cairn Terrier who had been rescued. This pisshead was unable to cope with the rescued dog's behaviour or looking after him and instead of ringing another activist to rehome him or rehoming him sensibly herself...claimed that the dog had "growled at her" and called the POLICE!. 7 {so I'm told} coppers turned up and took the dog away. The dog was declared "dangerous" and killed. The woman is a disgrace!
