Was Berg Working Black Ops?

14-05-2004 17:23

Okay, let's recap. Nick had contacts with "terrorists" in the US. His family business seems devoid of a paper trail. Nick goes to Israel, then shows up in Iraq carrying a Koran and "anti-Semitic" literature, and is seen "working" on a radio tower in Abu Graib even though his company is not on the list of apporved Iraq contractors. You don't have to be Fellini to figure this one out!

United Nations must impose severe economic sanctions against the U.S.!

14-05-2004 16:33

As thousands of photos of abuses of Iraqi captives by mostly U.S. soldiers(some U.K. soldiers were involved too)continue to pour forth, it is worth noting that Amnesty International has revealed that the yanks torture their own as well!

'Climate justice' bloc at Kyoto March, 15.5.04

14-05-2004 15:48

London Rising Tide street theatre, UN London, late '04
Rising Tide and friends will be at the Kyoto March on Saturday 15th May, bringing with us a feeling that the Kyoto Protocol is a business deal dressed up as a caring sharing world-saving treaty, and one which entrenches existing inequalities between north/south and have/not. Among other stuff, we'll have an 'OIL FUELS POVERTY' banner, so come over for a natter or even a friendly argue. Meet 3.30pm, next to the Imperial War Museum.

Breakfast with Caterkillar

14-05-2004 12:29

Caterkillar - Homewrecker of the Year 2004
Yesterday, we went to the Caterpillar offices near Solihull to present them with their well-deserved Homewrecker of the Year Award, and to ask the employees to take up the issue of arms sales to Israel with the company (see  http://www.indymedia.org.uk/en/2004/05/291298.html).

Unfortunately, the employees were too shy to leave the building to talk to us. So this morning, we thought we'd join them for breakfast in the car park as they arrived for work.
