The fake jump of the diver (December’s revolt in Greece, eleven months on)

22-11-2009 20:02

The following article was written by members of the Occupied London collective for Svartur Svanur (Black Swan), Iceland’s first anarchist magazine – an Icelandic translation will appear soon in the magazine’s third issue.

22-11-2009 15:21

US military presence per country (2009) [map by David Vine]
Not only does one country account for the overwhelming plurality of world military expenditures, but that nation also has troops and bases on all six habitable continents (as well as a 54-year military mission in Antarctica, Operation Deep Freeze) and eleven aircraft carrier strike groups and six navy fleets that roam the world's oceans and seas at will. It is also expanding a global interceptor missile system on land, on sea, in the air and into space that will leave it invulnerable to retaliation.

Gordon Brown delivers the annual foreign policy speech at Lord Mayor's banquet
Capitalism needs an enemy, real or invented and the demise of communism deprived them of a handy hook onto which they could hang the planet.

All the ‘war on terror’ has done is terrorize everybody and drag us deeper and deeper into the quagmire of the ‘new world order’.

From the former Yugoslavia to Somalia the Anglo-Saxon Empire is busy turning the planet into a graveyard.
