Report from the First UK European Social Forum Process Meeting

03-12-2003 23:47

Today (3rd December), a meeting was organised (by who? I'm still not sure) as a kind of start to the process of organising the third European Social Forum. It wasn't really the start, though, because it had apparently already been agreed at the European Assembly that the 2004 ESF would be held in Britain - and also for the reason that the 2004 ESF should and will be a continuation of the process started by the first ESF in Florence (and before that, the WSF in Porto Alegre in Brazil). What follows is a rough report I cobbled together from some hastily scribbled notes and my recollections - it should in no way be considered complete, because I missed out a lot in my notes, and so obviously please feel free to add your own recollections in the comments.

Ocean Graves for Leftists

03-12-2003 18:05

Not only were leftists sent to Pacific ocean graves near Chile by Pinochet, but during the so-called dirty war in Argentina, thousands of leftists were pushed alive out of airplanes over the Atlantic ocean. Their mothers protested for years in the Plaza de Mayo in Buenos Aires to learn their fate. This is the way that fascists and their cohorts in the CIA and US government treat people who want land reform, better wages and working conditions, health care and education for everyone and no child labor or starving children. They exterminate the more intelligent and compassionate members of society.

Acting in what seems as blind fury after loosing crucial elections, including a constitutional referendum to achieve special powers, the regime of Alvaro Uribe is seeking revenge on top union leaders.

The truth behind the massacres in Algeria

03-12-2003 05:26

Over 250,000 Algerian civilians have been murdered over the past decade, with the media in the West always quick to blame "islamic fundamentalists" on the terror and outrages. This shocking article reveals that the (unelected) Algerian government, has been solely responsible for the horrors, and have been systematically carrying out the killing of all those that supported the establishment of the democratically elected Islamic government which had been annuled by France.
