21-01-2009 20:25

For those of you who don't know REEL NEWS is an alternative to the corporate news agenda. A bi-monthly 90 minute dvd is produced with a range of shorts films showing all the kinds of stories and viewpoints that would put the likes of the BBC, CH4, CNN ect in really deep shit with their controllers should they ever develop a conscience.

For info about REEL NEWS click here:

 http://www.reelnews.co.uk/

Best of all REEL NEWS steadfastly refuses to tow the line or be affiliated to ANY of our inept political parties or groupings so it is truly independent. The benefit gig will help fund the production of a number of films due out in the next few months.

Day of Solidarity with the Palestinians and the Greek Anarchists and Anti-Authoritarians

21-01-2009 19:52

An International Day of Solidarity is being called for January 23, 2009, for the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip and the Greek Anarchists and other anti-authoritarian activists in Greece. There are many overlaps between these two struggles, and those similarities are explored below. The date of the demonstration is to also commemorate the anniversary of the Riots in the Warsaw Ghetto in Poland, during the period of Nazi Germany (1943), where 70,000 Jewish people took this city back, and held it for a long time before the Germans took over. The date and the atrocities exposed in this article are highly ironic, given that the Jewish people of Israeli have experienced a genocide of their own: the Holocaust.

Brum Gaza Demo: The Lightning Conductors

21-01-2009 15:43

Video
Last Saturday around 5,000 people marched in solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza in Birmingham City centre. After hours of boring speeches by opportunist politicians, demonstrator's freedom of movement and right to protest was restricted by police and stewards to just Victoria Square. Stewards colluded with police to ensure demonstrators could only leave the demonstration in ones or twos even though a Section 60 hadn't been enforced on the protest. Some people did manage to continue protesting outside the pen on New Street and Starbucks was redecorated with some eggs.
