Dale Farm: Important Eviction Update

The public date of the eviction is the week of the 19th September, but
we still need supporters at Dale Farm. We have received unconfirmed

the more people on site the better. Please be ready to come to Dale
Farm in the morning, just in case -- you'll receive a txt if you've
signed up to txt alerts at

https://smsalerts.tachanka.org/dalefarm/

own council. They need our support.

NATO’s glorious race war in Libya

08-09-2011 12:56

The western media find it more difficult to deny a pattern of murderous ethnic cleansing by the racist Libyan rebels they have treated as saints and heroes for the past six months. Thousands of black Libyans and sub-Saharan immigrants have been murdered by NATO-financed, heavily Islamist fighters who, as African Union chairman Jean Ping says, seem to “confuse black people with mercenaries.” In truth, the Libyan rebels are no more confused about the identity of their victims than South Carolina lynch mobs or German Nazis; they’re racist killers, pure and simple.
