The Leaking German Nuke Waste Storage Scandal, no-one wants to touch.

05-09-2008 17:19

Even though the administrators of the German state knew there were serious problems in Asse II some years ago, it was not till this Summer that the topic reached public discussion at Government level. The former salt mine at Asse which is held up as a model for deep geological repository storage of radioactive material by many states including the UK has however been in public consumption all along. Coz it's leaking into the water table and then through cows into breakfasts all over Germany and the civilized milk consuming public. That gives a new twist to heavy water.

Direct Action Camp in the squatted forest near Frankfurt/Germany

02-09-2008 15:25

The forest of kelsterbach near the airport of frankfurt/main is occupied now since three month. Fraport (the corporation running frankfurt airport) is planning to build a new runway on this place, cutting down every tree on 300ha of land. In total something about 100.000 trees would have to fall for the profit of an enormous international acting corporation. For the people of this region it will mean twice the flight movements per year, at least to a level of one movement every 45 sec. In the first week of september there will be an action camp on the site of occupation, from where we´re going to start countless direct activities in the forests, the streets and the terminals.
