Call for creative responses to Shell's 'Oedipus'

11-10-2008 17:50

Shell is sponsoring the National Theatre's new production of 'Oedipus',and, unsurprisingly, Art Not Oil is preparing a response on variousfronts. We're asking people if they're up for making an artwork of some kind as a response. This could be an image, song, film or poem to appear on our website, or to be printed on a postcard or something similar. We're open to ideas. (Unfortunately, we aren't able to pay for your work, but we have no wish to possess it!)
If this is of interest, we'd love to see it as soon as possible, as 'Oedipus' runs until January 2009 only.

Illegal use of Equity - Average and Normal

09-10-2008 02:47

People have made bad and improper investments with credit and equity.

My family and friends (who I would say are "average" and "normal" Americans) have used home equity to buy other homes, invest in the stock market, to buy "stuff", and to pay expenses. This sometimes illegal and improper use of residential property equity is the problem! This equity does not exist yet, and no one knows when - or if it will. --- No one knows how much it may be. ----- And it is all ready "at work" - multiply times over. --?--- I have seen many people live off of credit, and use their money to invest. This "hyper-capitalism" of equity on equity - on credit and debt appreciation, is a flawed and failing economic model; and it is failing - just as it should.

Welfare Reforms - Govt found to have misquoted research findings

07-10-2008 15:24

The Government has been exposed as completely misquoting a couple of researchers whose report they have used to justify the new workfare proposals in the Green Paper — “No one written off: reforming welfare to reward responsibility”, where the report based on a study of the effect on the labour market in Australia of the introduction of a workfare scheme there actually found that as a result, the very long term unemployed in fact grew by 68%!

US Real Estate: From Goldmine To Money Pit Mortgage Backed Securities and Derivatives are Flawed and Failing

06-10-2008 06:02

The mortgage debt problem is simple really, it has been a total mis-appropriation of equity. The equity lost on flat screen TV's, boats, new cars, vacations, and other living expenses; is equity lost forever. This loss of equity spent on consumer goods and expenses is a pyramid scheme of hyper-capitalism that is flawed and failing. Equity not spent on the property the equity comes from, is equity lost forever, a mis-appropriation of funds, and inappropriate; it is a failing economic model.

Facebook comes to Ireland but deletes Shell to Sea page

03-10-2008 13:50

Yesterday an Irish government minister from the ruling Fianna Fáil party announced that the social networking site Facebook would be setting up its European office in Dublin. In what some may see as a weird coincidence, and others as a pointed message, the profile page for the Shell to Sea campaign was removed from Facebook at the same moment the announcement was made public.

Climate Camp 2008: illustrated diary

29-09-2008 18:29

Kingsnorth in the distance
I went to Climate Camp during the final week of the event, and before the day of action. I went mainly to enjoy the atmosphere and attend some workshops. I also took my sketchbook though and thought it would be an interesting alternative way of documenting the event.
