06-04-2008 11:20
Missile shields are now a major topic at the present NATO summit. Mr. Bush bangs on about a rogue nation,' seemingly unaware that most of the world think that the United States is the real 'rogue .' Mr. Bush's speech prior to the opening of the United Nations summit was a repeat not only of continued platitudes but also of many accusations made after 9/11 about Iraq - with Iran now the unjustified focus of "evil." Are Mr. Cheney, and his very own 'poodle,' Mr. Bush, pathologically focused on matters 'nuclear', and intent on a forthcoming war?Stop Lib Dembs padlocking Paddick who wants to say NO to Crossrail

Massive Repression during the NATO Summit in Romania
02-04-2008 12:12
by email via g8-int:One day before the start of the Nato summit in Bucharest the situation gets worse. Hourly alternative looking people are detained by the police for no reason. Afterwards the police construct absurd offence, for example carrying a pocketknife amounting to possession a weapon. Every person coming to or leaving the convergence center is in danger of getting detained (some simply for walking to a nearby shop). The detained are interrogated, photographed and fingerprinted in police stations, and held for up to 24 hours.
At the Romanian border several groups of activists, as well as others, have been denied entry into the country.
The most involved Romanian activists around the country have at this point been visited or called by either the local police or SRI (Romanian information service) to be warned against participating in any anti-nato protests or to have their families intimidated.

29-03-2008 14:18
It seems that the US government excels at propaganda for it continues to win over the very people it has betrayed and caused to be killed; buying their trust, it offers a friendship that is only self-serving.Engaging China in a Tibet uprising would distract or dissuade it from building alliances with Iran. Iran must be kept isolated at all costs

28-03-2008 14:14
BP is using war and occupation and fuelling sectarian conflict by trying to control Iraqi oil for the next 30 years. We need to stop them.Whilst not the only oil company angling for long-term contracts in Iraq, Shell is too and we will target their AGM too, BP is wholly British and enmeshed with the British occupation effort and establishement.
Thats the Bad News - the Good News is that they havent got their hands on Iraqi oil yet and there is space to stop them....
