Direct Action Can't be Televised!

23-01-2001 11:05

A critique of dialogue between protestors and large financial institutions such as the WB and IMF, and of panding to the mainstream media. It is useless, from an anti-capitalist perspective to negotiate with organizations whose central aims are to promtoe the growth of the very cancer we wish to eliminate: captialism.

Qatar: Inappropriate Venue for Next WTO Meeting

23-01-2001 10:11

"The WTO can't avoid public protests by holding a meeting in a country that doesn't allow public protest. That would send the signal that it's okay to build the global economy on a foundation of repression -- exactly the opposite of the message the WTO should be pronouncing."
Kenneth Roth
Executive Director of Human Rights Watch

protesters target GAP in Bristol

22-01-2001 16:14

Broadmead was split in two on Saturday as 150 Bristol activists blockaded the entrance to US clothes chain store GAP in protest at their use of child labour and sweatshop labour. The demonstration, one of the largest in recent years, was sparked by revelations by a recent BBC Panorama programme that child labour was being used in a Cambodian
factory making GAP clothes. The sea of faces dividing the walkway held placards reading "GAP - Globally Abusing People" and "GAP rips off child labour and sweat shop labour".

22-01-2001 15:38

A new and accurate evaluation is essential regarding the site of the former Temples in Jerusalem.

Secret Inauguration of Linda Jones, President of the USA

21-01-2001 22:33

Apparently we need more education in the obvious than we do examination of the obscure. OUR government is the citizens’ government. THEIR government is the corporate government. Corporations are machines, not citizens. Our government consists of men and women ruled by our conscience. Their government consists of men and women ruled by machines. This has been obvious - but often forgotten - since the First World War.
