G8 Protest Ban Exclusion Zone Re-imposed
01-06-2007 14:42
The highest court in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern has overruled the previous court decision and decided that a general demonstration ban on June 7th did not violate the constitutional rights of protesters.
A general injunction over a 40 square kilometre area had been designated by police as a demonstration-free zone due to a "state of emergency". It went well beyond the original 200m exclusion zone around the fence stretching to 6km in places.
As a result of this the so-called Star March on June 7th , which was intending to go all the way to the Kempinski hotel, will now be confined to the B105 road.

Under the slogan of „Growth and Responsibility“, Germany plays host, from June 6th to 8th, to the group of 8 (the 7 most powerful industrial nations plus Russia) in the small seaside resort of Heiligendamm.The G8 are not the “Spider in the Net”, or the “Control Room” of “Rapacious Capitalism”. It has to be understood as a form in which capitalist society reflects itself in a political dimension.

Attac turns against the unjust sides of globalization and develops econmic concepts.. We need the contagious power of the ideas of freedom, justice and equality. The last European revolution in 1989 succeeded despite dictatorial conditions.. With the Iraq war and Guantanamo, the common values of the West are discredited.Another WTC7 whitewash has been published in NYTimes

A response to yesterday's WTC7 hit piece in the NY Times (see 'A Notion From 9/11 Is Kept Alive' by Jim Dwyer). Why do we bother? Because someone has to keep the concepts of truth and global justice alive as we descend into Rockefeller's 'dream' of a one-world feudal state, that's why!Stop the show! Everyday resistance instead of anti-G8-Spectacle

It is always similar: The rulers in politics and economy meet and protests as for example against the G8-summit in Heiligendamm react to it. Thousands of humans come together to have actions, demonstrations, discussions, etc. and after the end of this - for state and capital calculable - spectacle they all drive home and function again at home (part of the spectacle are the summits as well as the protests against it): everywhere, where capitalism reproduces itself daily, where we all reproduce it daily, by our wage labour, by our doing: whether in the factory, in the office, in the sweat shop, in the agency, in the school or university. The protests against the G8-summit and the demo tourism do not have anything to do with concrete daily resistance, where we work and live.Full article | 1 addition | 1 comment

HELLO
Only a few more moments and we will fi nally
meet all in the fi elds (and beyond) around
Heiligendamm. Sorry for making you wait
that long since the last edition, but we saved
all our energy to produce this lovely last
newsletter before the last G8 summit. In
this issue you will fi nd all the last updates
you will need for joining our resistance.
This resistance has proven already to
be undefeatable. Raids in forty objects in
Germany have triggered nothing else than
strong spontaneous solidarity demonstrations.
This has shown: we are ready to fi ght
back!
