AFRICOM: America's Military Foot in Africa's Doorway

14-10-2008 16:59

On October 1 the US launched AFRICOM, the Pentagon's outpost in Africa.
Commanded by a Black American general and incorporating State Department and
other civilian personnel from top to bottom it is billed as a "new kind" of
US military command.

Incorporating nearly all US civilian programs in Africa under its umbrella,
from trade to aid to public information, AFRICOM marks the militarization of
US policy toward what is already the most war-torn region in the world.
AFRICOM's planners offer their twelve year intervention in Somalia, where a
million out of ten million have died due to US intervention, as a "model"
for the continent.

Freedom Rider: The Other Bailout

14-10-2008 14:32

It's hard to keep track of two mega-thieves at the same time. "The defense
bill is every bit as wasteful and just as much a harbinger of doom as the
much discussed Wall Street bailout, but has elicited hardly any debate, even
from progressives." And, just as with the bailout bill, Democrats in
Congress are ever ready to run up the white flag. "The collective popular
revulsion at the very presence of Bush in the White House has never stopped
Democratic party capitulation." War begets war. "Not only is military
spending completely unproductive, but it increases the likelihood of further
American acts of aggression.

Shut down BMI Airlines day! Monday 20th October 2008

13-10-2008 14:05


In 2007 the UK government deported 63,140 migrants. Airline companies are a key link in the deportation industry. Without them it would be very difficult, if not impossible, for the state to implement this aspect of the migration regime and there can be no migration controls without deportations.

(Im)Precision of U.S Bombing and the (Under)Valuation of an Afghan Life

12-10-2008 18:58

US/NATO bombs kill about ten times more Afghan civilians with a ton of our
"precision" bombs than we killed Serbs in 1999. More than 80% of Afghan
civilian deaths today caused by the US/NATO are due to close air support
attacks. They (Afghans) are only worth one-tenth of an Alaskan sea otter
rather than forty camels. We spend ten dollars on the military in
Afghanistan to pursue our geo-strategic aims and less than $1 on
reconstructing the everyday lives of Afghans devastated by thirty years of
war.

Roma people in Italy. Urgent appeal to the Spanish (and European) authorities

11-10-2008 16:29

EveryOne Group has sent an urgent appeal to His Majesty King Juan Carlos I; to the President of the Spanish Government, José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero; and to the Ministers and Spanish Members of Parliament, asking them to provide – by way of exception and given the gravity of the situation – humanitarian protection on Spanish soil for a small community of Romanian Roma which is about to be evicted from a derelict building in the city of Pesaro after suffering long and terrible persecution in Italy. The clearance would cause a humanitarian tragedy.
