EU-Ministers Propose Yet Another Loophole in EU CO2-Emission Reduction Market

What are the implications of the free software (called 'open source' by business leaders) movement for anarchists and activists in general? Could things be learned from it?

US Forming Death Squads in Iraq

22-12-2003 20:46

According to respected journalist Robert Fisk in the London (UK) INDEPENDANT,hooded and masked gunmen have been seen searching cars and frisking people at official roadblocks in Iraq.

This would fit the pattern for other territories, chiefly in Latin America where the USA flexes its muscle to enforce the plunder of other peoples and countries. Of course, these masked forces quickly graduate to murdering any and all seen as uncooperative with US policy and corporate interests.

J'accuse.
