German G8 Police: Lies, Propaganda and Provocation (report)
13-06-2007 11:44
Below are a few examples of the lies and propaganda spun by the police during the G8 protests in Germany, as well as direct evidence that the police were at times using infiltrators to try and create conditions to justify further repression.There are for sure many more examples of this during the last two weeks or so and civil liberties monitoring groups are investigating other incidents. It should also be said that while the media were able to report what appeared to be a tolerant attitude to the blockades at the East Gate, in other places sit down protestors were water cannoned, pepper sprayed and beaten. Also the police tried to provoke violence at various different protests and actions, arrested people for nothing more than having the wrong clothing on them, and failed to give medical assistance to injured people in a number of incidents. Police have also been criticised for using water canon at close quarters against peaceful blockaders resulting in several serious eye injuries, including a man from Liverpool who has lost the use of his eye after it was dislodged. Further criticism has come regarding the use of the military against protestors including the army on the A19 autobahn and the use of Panavia Tornado jets in low fly reconnaissance / intimidation runs over protest camp sites.
Other tactics used by the police included mass unrpovoked arrests, closure of transport systems to prevent people reaching legal assembly points and systematic feeding of misinformation to the media - details of which below:

Daily Mail G8 Blockade Reporting - Atrocious Newspaper Article Shocker!
13-06-2007 11:16
Published in print and on the web, it deals with the blockade protests against the G8 held on Wednesday 6th June. I saw a copy of it last night and was astounded at the shoddy quality of the journalism. I find it hard to believe that someone was actualy paid to produce such a mixed up shambles of misinformation and mistake.
It contains around 13 serious factual errors. This is a shocking number of mistakes for any article.
The Daily Mail does not have a good record when it comes to accuracy and G8 protests. This article confirms that their reporting should not be believed. Over 2.3 Million people read the Daily Mail...

12-06-2007 13:18
During blockades of the West Gate during the G8 summit police used water canons mixed with pepper spray excessively. A number of serious eye and ear injuries were reported including Matt from Liverpool. The force of the jet of water was so serve that his eye came out of its socket. Matt has been left blinded in one eye.
Matt was discharged from hospital in Rostock but faces months of operations and discomfort from his injury. A CAT scan has revealed that he had sustained internal bleeding, extensive damage to his Iris and possible damage to his retina.He faces future operations, cataracts, and glaucoma.

Oil interests flout International Law in Balkans
11-06-2007 08:07
Republican president Bush follows Democrat president Clinton’s course in the Balkans; oil pipelines and gas supplies take precedence over every other consideration including international law and the sanctity of human life. Bush has challenged Russia, Serbia and International Law by announcing during his recent visit to Albania that Kosovo, a Serbian province, would become independent in the near future, negotiations must result in “certain independence ... that’s what’s important to know”, he said! Bush’s grammatically woeful statements beg the question, why the need for negotiation if the Texan president insists that independence is “certain” for Kosovo -- which remains Serbian sovereign territory?REPORT ON THE CLASS STRUGGLE IN THE PHILIPPINES
