13.09.08 Seven-day long US Embassy demo

14-09-2008 13:49 | Analysis | Iraq | Terror War | World

Images from the '7 days and 7 nights for 7 years' demo outside the US Embassy in London.
This was organised by 'We Are Change UK & TruthAction London', two groups who dispute the commonly-held idea that the final fall of the twin towers was caused by the two terrorist planes alone.
(The '7 days' theme was to coincide with the 7th anniversary of 9/11.)

Berlusconi vetoes Oliver Stone "W" movie.

14-09-2008 12:39 | Culture | Other Press | World

"il Festival de Roma" is to be celebrated between the 22nd and 31st of October this year and will include movie premiers as usual. The organisers had they thought pulled off a bit of a "coup de grace" if not "coup d'etat" when they signed up Oliver Stone's "W" a forthcoming global release which tells the story on one young alcoholic's bravery in the face of overwhelming odds to achieve his dream of the presidency of the USA. Alas, festival organisers didn't count on the cinematic interest of Italy's modern day "Duce" who like his forebear realises the power of the silver screen to teach the masses some truth. According to the British distributors of the product Dda it was Mr B. who vetoed the movie arguing it is insulting & misleading - simply "untrue" something the seventh art ought not be. "Mr B knows best." & Roman festival goers aint gonna see the movie.

Noel Edmonds - How 'scarcity' easily leads to racism

14-09-2008 10:59 | Climate Chaos | Repression | World

A horrible example of how a right-wing take on climate change, energy security etc. can foster reactionary mentalities instead of human-centered social change. It's bad enough that some green activists are abandoning an anti-capitalist ecology in favour of green capitalism based on the notion that anything that works is necessary given the likely timeframe of global warming. Worse would be a convergence of green politics and a support for the Tories based on a perceived 'better' green agenda. No doubt this will happen. Get ready!

When the facts speak for themselves

Do we still need to repeat it? Do we still have to add words to facts
which speak for themselves? The Belgian democracy had to cope with
dozens of uprisings and escapes in its prison and camps. In this way,
prisoners broke the silence and the isolation they're assigned to.

Disaster in Afghanistan

12-09-2008 22:00 | Analysis | Anti-militarism | Terror War | World

It is difficult to find out what is really going on in Afghanistan. The focus of the mass media is almost entirely on the military activities of the Canadian and NATO forces. There is absolutely no coverage of political developments. The news on the economy is limited to the state of the poppy industry. This is no accident. The North American media, including the CBC, has strongly supported the U.S./NATO strategy and the administration of President Hamid Karzai. Contrary to the mainstream message, things are not going well.
