Conservation organisations merge in effort to build momentum on bluefin tuna

01-09-2011 18:52 | Animal Liberation | Ecology | Ocean Defence | World

The European conservation organisation The Black Fish and the Belgian organisation How To Save The Bluefin have merged as of today in an effort to build a stronger alliance in the fight against bluefin tuna overfishing. The two organisations will continue together as one under the banner of The Black Fish. Diederik Jeangout and Michael Dilissen of How To Save The Bluefin are happy with the move: "Bluefin tuna needs our attention and we are serious about achieving real change for this endangered fish. We need to build a stronger movement to create the necessary change and we feel that within The Black Fish we can make this happen".

UG#565 - The World Crisis and the Wholeness of Life (Deschooling Society 5)

This week we look at the effect on the direction of Western society of the concerted efforts made to turn as many people as possible into non-thinking automata. In our first hour, a wide ranging and entertaining lecture from a quarter century ago, E. F. Schumacher speaks on "The World Crisis and the Wholeness of Life" in the year before his death. Then the ensuing Q & A, followed by chapter 5 from Illich's Deschooling Society. We conclude with a little from John Taylor Gatto and a retired Brigadier General on one aspect of waste by the US military.

New round of genocide and ethnic cleansing in the apartheid state of Sudan

This time it's in the South Kordofan mountainous region where the Sudanese air force is bombing defenceless civilians

The rising tide of islamophobia in France.

The neo fascist Front National party in France is riding a wave of anti-immigrant and anti-muslim sentiment in France as the latest manifestation of this shows.

The fox cub hunting and sabbing begins

Fox hunters begin to train their young hounds to kill by hunting fox cubs

Ethnic cleansing and genocide of indigenous tribes continuing apace

While the Brazil government makes as if it is protecting the human rights indigenous peoples of the Amazon, for loggers and mining companies it's business as usual.

A few quick clarifications on the recent riots

In light of these conflicting interests it is puzzling to see so many - among them Anarchists - defending "communities" and denouncing attacks on them. These communities are not communes, no free associations of producers and consumers, not groups with common interests, but ensembles of conflicting ones. Shop owners, workers, estate kids, council workers, small and large scale capitalists, they do not have the same interests, many of them have directly conflicting ones. The call for community spirit in disregard of what these communities are is, in essence, the same as a nationalist call for unity: a call to subject ones' own interests to that of the "common good". A common good that asks for subordination and restriction. This appreciation of the moralistic collective is what appeals to right-wing, left-wing and some radical writers alike.

Bankrupt Agrexco face possible criminal prosecution

28-08-2011 21:22 | Campaign against Carmel-Agrexco | Palestine | South Coast | World

Agrexco, the Israeli part-state owned agricultural export company that supports illegal Israeli settlements in the Occupied Palestinian Territories, and has been the target of an international boycott campaign as a result, now faces possible criminal prosecution in Israel.

Auditors of the bankrupt firm have uncovered accountancy fraud apparently intended to cover up Agrexco's intimate relationship with the Israeli governments agricultural policies.

Although not expressly stated in this report, the report suggests that Agrexco was propping up illegal settlements in the OPTs with financial payments in order to support Israeli Govt settlement colonisation policies at the expense of their own profitability. If this is so, the case against Agrexco put by BDS campaigners over the past 7 years, of the company's complicity in war crimes and crimes against humanity, has just been strengthened substantially.

NATO's rape of Libya: Never forgive, never forget

NATO's rape of Libya is too ugly for proper words to describe. NATO outdid Orwell on this one, killing truth by calling war the responsibility to protect - by terrorizing, attacking, and slaughtering civilians like psychopathic assassins. As a result, honest historians will redefine barbarism to explain NATO's savagery.

Are we living in an Orwellian world in regard to Libya. Below is an extract from a UN human rights report on Libya that was published on January 2011. If Gaddafi was a brutal dictator, you'd have though they would have noticed it.
