Opposing spy base’s role in Iraq war
The Howard government and the security authorities have gone to extraordinary lengths to suppress any information emerging from the trial about the base or the associated operations of the intelligence agencies.

The Saturday riot in Rostock (2)

03-06-2007 19:52

So you thought that the Stasi had been disbanded?
So we’ve back at the hostel for around an hour and a half after the first trouble when the phone rings. ‘The cops are going fucking mad!’ we are told so it’s back to the rally to see what is going on? A car has been torched since we were last here and the water cannons are out.

Solidarity..
A similar event to the ¨Live 8¨ concert which took place in the run-up to the G8 in 2005 is to take place in Rostock on Thursday 7th June 2007. Undoubtedly the message will be the same: ¨wearing a white arm band and attending a rock concert will liberate the third world from poverty as well as making you feel good about yourself¨.

The Saturday riot in Rostock (1)

03-06-2007 17:24

Charge of the shite brigade.
So, at the end of the demo there was a riot. Which has now been widely reported by the corporate media as being deliberately provoked by tooled up agitators in Black. Change the word black for green and you start getting a bit closer to the truth.

Rostock Saturday. The international demo.

03-06-2007 16:32

Quite a lot of people...
The march moves at a snails pace due to the samba bands and sound systems that are dotted along the route. No one seems to mine as it has a carnival atmosphere and there is still no sign of the predicted rain

Support the Cuban People -- Help Send a Bookmobile to Cuba!

03-06-2007 14:37

The US embargo on trade with Cuba continues. This summer Pastors for Peace will again challenge the blockade with a friendship caravan. A fully stocked bookmobile will accompany it. Before the revolution there were only 32 libraries in Cuba. In 2002 there were 400 public libraries and 6000 school libraries. Cubans are avid readers and life long learners but Cuban librarians struggle to meet their needs under the blockade. We urge you join us in sending books to Cuba!
