A call to action that could change the world

05-08-2004 14:36

Dear friends of peace and justice everywhere,

"The advance guard of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization’s mission to Iraq will leave this weekend under the command of a Dutch general, an alliance official said Aug. 4." Eruope please respond! This move by NATO could result in much more death and destruction as the "alliance" moves to rescue the U.S. disaster. If it was important to take to the streets before it is more so now. More people are with us than ever, many governments and other instutions recognise the wrongheadedness of the occupation of Iraq as the terrible costs become clearer everyday. Corporate media will never speak to the fact that we can end this occupation and change the world! Organize and act now! Please spread this call widely. jamie

Invitation to the Dissent! Network Gathering in Edinburgh 17th - 19th September

05-08-2004 12:08

The G8 (Group of eight most industrialised nations) Summit will be held at Gleneagles Hotel in Perthshire, about 40 miles/70 kilometres away from Edinburgh, in Scotland from 6-8th of July 2005. In past years, everywhere they have tried to meet they have been met with a massive response from the world's social movements. Now, in Britain, a network of groups and individuals is emerging that resists the Summit, and forms a lasting movement against capitalism.

The next Dissent! Gathering will take place in Edinburgh on 17th-19th September 2004.

Come along and get involved!

Broken lives and masterpieces in Burma

05-08-2004 09:04

Tin Oo and Aung San Suu Kyi are mistreated in isolation and poor living conditions by the low-minded brutes who were unfit to lead Burma. The international community should worry about the health of Aung San Suu Kyi and Tin Oo because history showed that the Laos monarchs, King Thibaw and Sao Shwe Thaik all died in confinement, spiritually abused by the armed governments.

Darfur - Another Brit COlony Abused - British Hypocrisy Everywhere

04-08-2004 22:25

Walk the Plank Damn Brit-Yankees Doodles
In any instance, it is clear that the gunmen who have caused so much havoc in Darfur have had considerable outside assistance. The 'Sudan Liberation Army' were reported by Agence France Presse to have "weapons, vehicles and modern satellite communications". (12) UN media sources have also noted claims by tribal leaders that the rebels have better weapons than the Sudanese army. (13) The rebels have also been receiving military supplies by air. (14) And, in a disturbing resonance of the gunmen who have dominated parts of Somalia in four-wheel drive "technicals", the gunmen have also been operating in groups of up to 1,000 men in four-wheel drive vehicles.(
