Ten Reasons to Suspect "Save Darfur" is a PR Scam to Justify US Military Interve
02-12-2007 22:54
The star-studded hue and cry to "Save Darfur" and "stop the genocide" has gained enormous traction in U.S. media along with bipartisan support in Congress and the White House. But the Congo, with ten to twenty times as many African dead over the same period is not called a "genocide" and passes almost unnoticed. Sudan sits atop lakes of oil. It has large supplies of uranium, and other minerals, significant water resources, and a strategic location near still more African oil and resources. The unasked question is whether the nation's Republican and Democratic foreign policy elite are using claims of genocide, and appeals for "humanitarian intervention" to grease the way for the next oil and resource wars on the African continent.The price of Chinese corruption: what is the next in China's politics, finance?

Move into the Light?: Postscript to a turbulent 2007

"Move into the Light?: Postscript to a turbulent 2007"By Turbulence
At the beginning of 2007, the Turbulence collective commissioned 14 articles from around the global 'movement of movements', asking authors: "What would it mean to win?" We edited their responses into a newspaper and printed 7,000 copies, most of which were distributed at the mobilisation against the G8 summit in Heiligendamm, Germany, in June. A few months later, we want to return to the question of winning.
As we resume our search it's no surprise that we keep coming across the problem of visibility. When we think about winning, our eyes are drawn to things that are highly visible or easy-to-measure, such as institutional or legislative change, the opening of a social centre or an increase in membership. That's where the light is. But we also need to assess victories in the less tangible though just as real realm of possibilities. Winning in this realm may involve increased potential, changes in perception or patterns of behaviour. Yet these seem to exist at the very edge of the luminous zone.
This problem leads into another: our experiences create their own luminosity and consequently their own areas of darkness. When we think about winning we are drawn to movements, people and events that are familiar to us; and we have expectations about how things should turn out if they are to constitute a victory.
So how can we overcome our night-blindness once we move beyond the familiar?...

Beating exploitation: No Sweat conference, Saturday 1 and Sunday 2 December
28-11-2007 15:47
The seventh annual No Sweat conference takes place this weekend in London."Northern Rock"
28-11-2007 15:31
Northern Rock, Northern Wreck, Northern Crock, Northern Crook or whatever they're calling it this week was last week leaking deposits at a rate of £200 million per day. Hence the anxiety to get a big brand name on board in the shape of the Virgin conglomerate. And so the zombie staggers on to continue devouring the newly printed money being fed to it by Browns Bank of England.
