This was my ESF, tell us about yours :-)

ESF: arrest at stage at Trafalgar Square

17-10-2004 21:38

A group of people went to the stage area at Trafalgar Square to report about the arrests that had occurred. The "Stop the War coalition" stewards would not allow anybody to enter the stage area. The police went directly through the backstage area, apparently called by the organisers, to brutally arrested an activist. Altogether, 9 activists were arrested on October 17th during the ESF demonstration and taken to Charing Cross police station.

Peak oil and the imminent collapse of industrial civilisation.

16-10-2004 12:08

There is a huge problem on it's way. Governments have given up on attempting to resolve it and are in fact actively suppressing information about it. It's the reason that we're in Iraq and will most probably be invading Iran in the near future. The problem is all about diminishing reserves of oil and an economic system that requires perpetual growth (A physical impossibility) It will mean billions of deaths.

Is the American election redundant?

15-10-2004 14:59

From a global perspective, the America election, is not a dead heat, it is totally one sided. I am an outside observer, living in Canada; America is and Americans are my long-standing neighbors, old friends and allies. I speak to each American individually, as well as all others as we are all descendents of what ultimately presides.
Most Americans need to get something straight before this election, but your closed media will not likely publish this within its narrow perception.
