Day of Protest against ATOS & DWP. Report from Wrexham

01-04-2014 12:33

Protest at Wrexham Jobcentre, home of ATOS work capability assessments

Today, 1 April, has been called as a further day of action against ATOS and the Department for Work and Pensions. I decided to lend my support to the call for an end to the notorious work capability assessments that force disabled people to seek jobs that don't exist, and to the genocidal government policy of cutting off benefits and leaving claimants without the means of survival.

Waking up to Fracking and Associated Evils in Wrexham and Everywhere

31-03-2014 15:24

First view of the Farndon test drilling site across the fields

Fracking and its associated evils hadn't exactly escaped my attention, but it's only these past two weeks - with test drilling for coal bed methane happening 10 miles from my home - that I've made time to find out more and join in the resistance. This article is a summary of a few things I've learned, plus links, hopefully useful for anyone else in a similar position. I know it's not comprehensive - use it as a starting point. There are numerous extreme energy sites and potential sites around the country that all need our attention and resistance.

Pushing Toward The Final War

30-03-2014 17:36

Does Obama realize that he is leading the US and its puppet states to war with Russia and China, or is Obama being manipulated into this disaster by his neoconservative speech writers and government officials? World War 1 (and World War 2) was the result of the ambitions and mistakes of a very small number of people. Only one head of state was actually involved–the President of France. In The genesis Of The World War, Harry Elmer Barnes shows that World War 1 was the product of 4 or 5 people. Three stand out: Raymond Poincare`, President of France, Sergei Sazonov, Russian Foreign Minister, and Alexander Izvolski, Russian Ambassador to France.

Eco-Warriors Accuse Enfield Council of Corruption at Middlesex University

30-03-2014 17:16

“Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely”. - Lord Acton.
As if to symbolise the destruction of the earth itself, day by day the 400-year-old oak trees in the ancient woodlands at Middlesex university at Cat Hill Cockfosters Enfield north London, have been cut down while the eco-warriors support the blockade at the front gates by elderly local residents to protest against the blatant theft of their educational and environmental heritage by the crooked property developers London and Quadrant and the equally corrupt Enfield council.

The External Cost of Spying

28-03-2014 14:35

Not only is the spying perpetrated by the failing nation states of the so-called "West" and their accomplices the worst crime in Earth history, a collective suicide of all its perpetrators and a monstrous waste of indispensable resources and possibilities, it also is a stain on the record of the planetary biogenesis as the following will elaborate. Even if no external observer is systematically paying attention, and even when that attention is not penetrative but respectful to all limits of internal affairs, the diagnosis whether a technologically significant biogenesis is plagued by this pest can reliably be made from its intentionally visible emissions alone. Since the external attention is unknown by definition, it cannot be appeased by any propaganda, and the full integrity of the scientific method is assured. This analysis shows what an external perception of Earthly life would have to expect as the result of spying, and what these findings were to result in for its decisions about its handling of our planet.

Oppose Cuts, Don't Pay Council Tax!

27-03-2014 18:55

Thanks to people who sent messages of support to me in prison and the way forward.

I was sentenced to 28 days in prison for refusing to pay Council Tax as a protest against the public spending cuts which, incidentally, are affecting both inmates and staff inside the prisons.  Both groups gave me a warm welcome. A special thanks to my cellmate prisoner Steve Williams who looked after me.  After 14 days I have been released. Thanks to all who sent me messages of support.

In Nottingham City at present there are over 20,000 people in areas with Council Tax payments, around one in six of those eligible.  It is much the same in other areas.  Already there is a financial crisis in local government and the more of us who refuse to pay up the worse it will become.

More of us should refuse to pay so as to force the Coalition Government to respond.  Twenty five years ago millions of people refusing to pay Poll Tax forced a change in government policy and we can do the same again. You don't have to go to prison.  It's taken Nottingham City Council a year to get me inside.  By not paying until you are threatened with commital to prison will strangle the cashflow to the Labour councillor parasites.

It is high time for us to move from the defensive to the offensive in the fight against the cuts. People must face up to the fact that if you do anything which really hurts the capitalist state then it will hit back at you.  All the time we stick to useless protests such as petitions and passive demos the ca[italist class and their state functionaries don't care a toss.  It is also true that in any real fightback it will be the poorest, most disadvantaged people who will be hit hardest.  It has ever been such.  No pain, no gain.

IF YOU DON't KICK IT, IT WON'T FAll!
