Films about Food Not Bombs
17-08-2005 19:27
For anyone who's not familiar with the background and aims of Food not Bombs here are a selection of films you can download and watch.Food not bombs was started in the United States in Massachusetts in 1980 by anti-nuclear activists. It has since developed into a gobal movement of autonomous chapters who turn surplus food into great vegan meals for people who need it for free whilst protesting against war, poverty and waste.
Food not bombs is run on non-hierarchical lines by volunteers who embrace non-violence and make decisions through consensus - there are no leaders, ngo's, funders or political parties behind this initiative.
From the Food not Bombs website:
"Food Not Bombs is organizing for an end to the occupations of Iraq, Afghanistan and Palestine. We also support actions against the globalization of the economy, restrictions to the movements of people and the destruction of the earth."

Our worst nightmares
16-08-2005 21:33
Unbelievable... or prehaps not. Evidence revealed by ITV news confirms that police incompetence appears to have played a major role in their murder of Jean Charles, the Brazilian electrician shot dead on the tube. Worse still, it confirms that police repeatedly lied to excuse the fuck up.Jean Charles was no identified leaving the building under 'surveliance' because the cop on duty was taking a piss. Then an order was made to stop Jean Charles but it was never carried out. Jean Charles took a bus unaware that his death warrent was soon to be signed by carelessness and miscommunication of the British police force. He entered the tube, walking, collected a free paper to read on the train, waved his oyster card over the sensor and passed trough the barriers like any other passenger. He proceeded down to the platform and ran for the train on the platform. Once on the train, he took his seat like everyone else, still unaware of his impending doom and the hand of the trained killers of the farce. He carried no bag and wore a thin blue denim jacket - nothing at all to cast any suspicion on him or justify his muder. Only at this stage did police identify themselves, as they shoot him dead in cold blood at poiny blank range.
Be afraid.. but be angry!
