27-02-2012 10:55
Occupy Nottingham say they will receive an eviction notice from the City Council today, requiring them to leave within 7 days.
Reposted from their Facebook page:
"URGENT INFO:
Tomorrow, Mon 27th Feb, The Council will be serving us with a notice to leave within 7 days, after which they will serve notice of intention to seek posession through the courts.
A deal was provided from Richard Antcliff, which didn’t take into consideration our rights to stay on the Market Square, or take into account that we could shrink the camp, also a threat of force was also made, if we were not to move.
Now, from Monday morning, we are asking for a call out of help, legal observers, and anyone with a camera or filming equipment, to please come down on Monday and show solidarity with us and our ongoing occupation of Market Square.
We have collectively decided so far, not to move from the Market Square, and through civil disobedience and lawful rebellion we will stay, and prevent intimidation tactics being used on those involved with Occupy.
We will be working on documents and information we will take to the courts all this week, and are building a great case, so if you would like to help with that, or have any contacts that can help, please get in touch asap!
We would like to thank everyone that has been involved to date, and would like to say that we will continue in our peaceful process for as long as possible!
Much peace & love."
Swindon Anarchists Demo in Solidarity With Striking Hospital Workers
27-02-2012 10:55
For the past fortnight, cleaners and other staff at GWH hospital in Swindon have been on strike against bullying and racism on the part of their bosses at Carillion Plc. On Feb 24th, Swindon Anarchists held a demo in solidarity.
The workers, mostly Goan, have held 6 days of strike action over the last 2 weeks with more planned in the coming weeks. Since the campaign started, workers have picketed the hospital, held mass rallies, blockaded Carillion HQ and various other demos and pickets. The strike, which started solidly is only growing stronger by the day.
The dispute centres around the culture of racist and demeaning treatment that the Goan workers are routinley subjected to - particularly from one manager, who has since been forced to resign. Another key part of the dispute is the fact that the workers have been told that they are allowed NO holiday time between the 10th of December and the 7th of January, removing any chance of them visiting relatives and friends in Goa over the christmas period.
Carillion have done their best to ignore the issues at the heart of this dispute and have mounted a campaign of strike-breaking against the cleaning staff, putting pressure on Carillion employees in companies such as Zurich and Nationwide to scab at the hospital on strike days.
Swindon Anarchists, in what we expect to be the first of many escalating actions, decided to show solidarity with the hospital workers by holding a demo against Carillion strikebreaking at the Swindon Zurich offices on Friday 24th of Feb
With support from comrades in Bath and Bristol, the demo attracted around 20 people, who leafleted cleaning staff, Zurich workers and passersby. Support for the demo, and the hospital workers, was overwhelming, with cars constantly honking in support and workers from Zurich expressing solidarity.
At the end of a sucessful demo, the cops turned up and started trying to take personal details, as well as insisting that if racism was an issue, then the dispute was not an industrial one, but needed to be reported to the Police! After one blushing cop apologised for his over-zealous colleague, they left empty handed.
If the demo showed one thing, it is that the people of Swindon are behind the striking workers and that, as their campaign escalates, they can count on the support and solidarity of large numbers of people in Swindon.
Swindon Anarchists will continue to stand in complete solidarity with the hospital workers, who are setting us all an important example of how to stand up to bullying bosses.
A list of buildings with Carillion contracts (especially those from which carillion are bullying workers into scabbing) will be released soon, so there are plenty of opportunities for solidarity actions in your town or city.

Electronic control by governments
27-02-2012 10:35
In recent years, scientists have learned how to locate by remote, focus on, and lock into a person’s brain to manipulate that person’s thoughts and thus his actions. Mind control assaults now loom as one of the main challenges of the 21st century. The targeted person often never discovers that he has become a mind control victim, and he ends up hurting others, taking his own life, or simply becoming another “Alzheimer” statistic. This paper discusses some of the elements of what I call Electronic Stalking and Mind Control (ESMC).Remembering Giuseppe Conlon
