Jailed for Sailing to Gaza, Challenging the Blockade

The boats—one from Canada and one from Ireland—were carrying 27 passengers, including press and peace activists from Ireland, Canada, the United States, Australia and Palestine. They were unarmed, and the Israeli military knew that. They were simply peace activists wanting to connect with civilians in Gaza, and the Israeli military knew that. Yet naked aggression was used against them in international waters—something that is normally considered an act of piracy.

The vast majority of cleaners at the Guildhall are members of the independent trade union the Industrial Workers of the World. In summer 2011, the cleaners waged a successful campaign to secure months of unpaid wages, and achieved the reinstatement of a victimised trade union member. Since then the cleaners have been campaigning to secure justice on pay, equality and respect at work.

Sole military Super-Bloc: NATO Issues Daily Reprieves To The World
05-11-2011 00:34
The time is ripe and in fact long overdue for issuing a call for an international anti-NATO initiative addressed to individuals, organizations, political parties and governments to convene an extraordinary session of the United Nations General Assembly to demand the disbanding of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization as a – as the gravest – threat to world peace.

Any similarity with the current situation in Greece is NOT accidental!
The above headline of the Greek newspaper "Ta Nea"(26th of June 1979) hosts a statement of the father of current Prime minister of Greece G. Papandreou, Andreas, saying that there is no way that Greece will enter EC-back then- without the consultation of The Greek people on a referendum! Cheers, Ta!
Οποιαδ?ποτε ομοι?τητα με πρ?σωπα και καταστ?σεις δεν ε?ναι συπτωματικη!!

Occupy Bradford on the edge
04-11-2011 16:55
The occupation of Bradford faces the threat of eviction. Solidarity is called for as celebrations of a week of occupation begin...
At 1pm on Friday the 28th of October, a small but determined band set up camp in Centenary Square, the social hub of Bradford's town centre. They camped out in the freezing cold and rain, in solidarity with the occupations happening all across the globe, and in disgust at the system which grinds the majority into ever more despair.
A week later and the council have rushed through a possession order through the court. Amazingly they have popped an eviction order through as well, though at present the occupation has not received the order. This is allegedly due to the intervention of Marsha Singh MP's office. The Labourites in the council presumably think it would look bad if a peaceful camp that is highlighting the horror of the Con-Dem cuts were to be forcibly dismantled.
So, the camp continues with the threat of the ballifs arrival at any moment. The spirits are high as a birthday celebration of music is set to wash away the dubious clouds of council crap. The Art Farmers, Serious Sam Barrett and Gerrard Bell-Fife among others will be making appearances.
The occupation is calling for all support possible, by coming down or by contacting your elected representatives, councillors, MPs, deities etc...

Open call out Suppot for new squatted social cente
04-11-2011 16:55
There is an open call out to support the new international squatted social center in barcena
For more than a century the castle on top of the mountain of les planes, Barcelona has remained in disuse, abandoned, and deteriorating, changing hands to hand from different owners since there never has been any real plan of usage for this building since its original plan as a leper en tuberculosis asylum was never completed. During the Spanish civil war it was taken by the antifascist resistance and used as a guerrilla hospital that even treated George Orwell when he was shot. Later in 2000 it was squatted and evicted to return into forgotten. Today it we have liberated it again! we ave taken the castle, and now we open it to create a space for meeting, for creation, for debate, and political dissidence against speculation, and capitalism. we make an open call out to come and build together with us, to bring to us your projects and ideas..all is welcome to come, visit, and to get to know the new social center.
Hackney Squatter's Outing
04-11-2011 16:55
This morning we took to the streets to resist the evictions of two squatted homes in Hackney. Following successful resistance we took a neighbourhood stroll to Hackney Town Hall and local branches of Tesco's, drawing attention to their role in evictions in Hackney.
Our first stop on Well Street was due to be evicted by bailiffs acting for a Church trust claiming to act in the interests of the "poor of the area". The trustees support the poor of the area by putting their rents up by 200%, evicting shop keepers and tenants and replacing them with live in security. The sitex company was first to arrive, met by a crowd of around 50 people, two sound systems, several dogs and banners reading "Resist Evictions" and "Homes Not Jails". The bailiffs and owners poked their heads around the corner before retreating back to their cars.
We then went to Mare Street where Tesco are planning to demolish buildings on Mare Street to pave way for their "development" of rich flats and a huge store. As should be clear, corporations and charities have a lot in common, including the same choice in bailiffs. Having been forced to change their plans once this morning, the bailiffs again trudged back to their car defeated.
Taking our banners down Mare Street to the Town Hall, the street and junction were blocked to prevent a Serco prison transport van from passing. Hackney Council's housing office behind the town hall was briefly occupied as protest against Hackney Council's, and their Hackney Homes front organisation, use of eviction as a weapon against the poor and disenfranchised. These issues affect tenants, licensees, those in temporary accomodation, squatters and particularly those under threat of post-riot reactionary evictions. The entrance to Tesco on Morning Lane was also taken as protest against their plans for expansion and their role in the attempted eviction this morning. The road was blocked against another Serco van (it's true, once you start noticing them you see how many there are) with banners and messages of support held up to those inside.
Then everyone went home. It was a lovely morning and it was great to see squatters acting together in solidarity and we should do it again. Soon.

World War 3 A Foregone Conclusion?
04-11-2011 14:43
The hypno-induced psychotic public can't even hear the war drums any more, no matter how loud. They've become background music, white noise or something to tap your foot to. With sadistic glee still warm over Gadhafi's public torture and execution through the streets of Libya, the bloodthirsty mind-controlled western public will count a Syrian overthrow a nice after dinner mint, while monstrous illegal death drone attack reports on innocent civilians in Pakistan and Somalia are savored pastries while sipping their morning coffee.WW3 Conditioning Complete - They Won't See It Coming
