14-01-2010 12:59

Location Released For Smash EDO Remember Gaza demo

14-01-2010 11:27

For three weeks in January 2009, the bombs rained down on Gaza. At the end of Israel's brutal bombing campaign and ground offensive over 1400 Palestinians had been murdered, including 314 children.

Here in Brighton EDO MBM/ITT manufacture some of the weapons components that devastated so many lives. All over the world thousands of people watched appalled at the carnage on the streets of Gaza. Thousands marched and raged at the destruction of peoples' homes and lives. On January 18th 2010, the anniversary of the final day of Operation Cast Lead, we will come together to remember the people of Gaza.

We will not allow those who supported their pain and profited from their suffering to go unchallenged. We will not let this genocide be forgotten. On the first anniversary after their deaths, we will rise up. We will take to the streets. We will remember...

Nutjob preacher Pat Robertosn does it again

13-01-2010 22:52

Pat Robertson is probably the most odious and contemptible of all the right wing fascist US televangelists. His claim to have “healed” people from disease (for a fee) however not one case of his supposed miraculous healing power has ever been proven. Robertson has a special loathing for homosexuals and was a good friend of African dictators Mobutu (described as the biggest thief in history due to his looting of that country and Liberian warlord Charles Taylor (currently on trial for war crimes in that country). This article looks at Robertson’s latest pronouncements made on the Earthquake in Haiti. How it was the Haitians fault and the broader anti-scientific medieval superstitions which these people preach at times of natural disasters and the corrosive effect this has on the children that these people

The Dead End of Climate Justice

13-01-2010 22:22

How NGO Bureaucrats and Greenwashed Corporations are Turning Nature Into Investment Capital-

On the occasion of its ten-year anniversary, the antiglobalization movement has been brought out of its slumber. This is to be expected, as anniversaries and nostalgia often trump the here and now in political action. What is troublesome, though, is not the celebration of a historical moment but the attempted resurrection of this movement, known by some as the Global Justice Movement, under the banner of Climate Justice.

You Say You Want an Insurrection

13-01-2010 21:49

You Say You Want an Insurrection

So do we—a total break with domination and hierarchy in all their forms, involving an armed uprising if need be. Until that’s possible, we’ll settle for recurring clashes in which to develop our skills, find comrades, and emphasize the gulf between ourselves and our oppressors.

But how do we bring about these confrontations? How do we ensure that they strengthen us more than our enemies? What pitfalls await us on this road? And what else do we have to do to make our efforts effective?
