Bei der Frage nach Personen liegt die Kanzlerin aber weit vorn. .... Umfragen-Komödie: Regierung hält 57 Prozent ..... Dieter Althaus, die tote Serbin, Verantwortung und die Medien ....

"Move or the baby gets it", police lies at Plane Stupid action in Scotland

03-03-2009 19:13

After almost six hours the Plane Stupid Scotland's action at Aberdeen airport ended with the protesters voluntarily unlocking themselves from their blockade. The eleven people, including local residents that this morning breached the airport fence have now been arrested. The protesters were told by police to dismantle their peaceful protest because the taxiway they were secured to was needed by an emergency helicopter. A baby apparently required urgent treatment, and any other approach would cause delays. Obviously the safety of the public was of paramount concern to the activists and so they duly removed themselves....

Wikileaks: FBI Report on Activist Counter-Intelligence

03-03-2009 14:50

UNCLASSIFIED/LAW ENFORCEMENT SENSITIVE
Wikileaks.org, the site responsible for leaking a multitude of useful documents to media and activists, has posted an article titled, "FBI: Tactics Used by Eco-Terrorists to Detect and Thwart Law Enforcement Operations, 15 Apr 2004," an appraisal of counterintelligence resources in our community.

Though government intelligence is widely known to be an oxymoron, this could lend some insight into their thinking and methodology, acting as a guide to activist counter-intelligence for the animal & earth liberation movement. The document studies the successful methods in which the Animal Liberation Front (ALF), Earth Liberation Front (ELF), Stop Huntingdon Animal Cruelty (SHAC), Earth First! and anarchist groups evade and/or thwart law enforcement methods to gather intelligence.

Indigenous Leaders Call For End To Uranium Mining

01-03-2009 00:02

One thing nuclear power advocates (and opponents and fence-sitters) always seem to ignore is the devastating impact of uranium mining on indigenous communities worldwide, such as in Australia, North America and Niger, as well as its equally devastating ecological impacts. Now these communities are joining forces to oppose the criminal uranium mining corporations, such as 90% French-state owned crooks AREVA.

Climate suffragettes rush annual coal industry awards

27-02-2009 14:09

Direct and to the point
Another climate rush occured last night at the Landmark hotel at Marylebone. Around 100 protesters rushed into the hotel where the annual coal awards (yes, really) were meant to be taking place. In the light of the seriousness of climate change it was propably a bit of a PR own goal for the coal industry to be celebrating the dirtiest fuel on the planet. An alternative awards ceremony took place with more apropriate catagories....

27-02-2009 00:22

Climate Rush tackled the climate criminals pathetic annual coal awards tA victory of sorts. The coal awards bailed out, cancelling the venue a couple of weeks ago fearing the attention of the climate rush and instead moved to a different venue earlier in the day.

The Landmark hotel management were less than happy about the righteous fury brought down on them by the dirty coal scum and said they'd not be accepting bookings from their ilk again.

Cops managed to arrest one bloke for not dressing the part and the suffragettes kicked arse yet again. his evening at the Landmark Hotel .
