The War on Lebanon and the Battle for Oil

Michel Chossudovsky | 26-07-2006 21:55 | Lebanon War 2006 | Analysis | Globalisation | Sheffield | World

BTC Pipeline Route

Is there a relationship between the bombing of Lebanon and the inauguration of the World's largest strategic pipeline, which will channel more a million barrels of oil a day to Western markets?

Virtually unnoticed, the inauguration of the Ceyhan-Tblisi-Baku (BTC) oil pipeline, which links the Caspian sea to the Eastern Mediterranean, took place on the 13th of July, at the very outset of the Israeli sponsored bombings of Lebanon.

Alternative development plan for the General Cemetery

Insurgent Zombie | 26-07-2006 15:45 | Culture | Ecology | Sheffield

The Friends of the General Cemetery,  http://www.gencem.org/ have just published an alternative plan for the development of the Chapel which could well reduce the chances of the plan to turn it into a private house,  http://www.indymedia.org.uk/en/regions/sheffield/2006/06/343310.html from being successful.

But the battle is not yet won - join the Zombie protest on Friday:  http://www.indymedia.org.uk/en/regions/sheffield/2006/07/346036.html

JVs & UAVs - top Israeli military targets in UK

Danny | 25-07-2006 22:46 | Anti-militarism | Repression | Sheffield | World

An Israeli UAV & company with a paint job
'British military exports to Israel were worth £23 million last year and licences for £2 million of arms exports were granted between January and March this year.' [1]

I don't know the official military imports but it will be equally underestimated. The true figure of military imports and exports are obscured by 'Joint Ventures' between Israeli and EU companies. In every market and region Joint Ventures, often referred to as JVs, are used to avoid domestic import/export regulations and laws. They are also used to transfer technologies to foreign nations as part of geopolitical deals. When ordered by the US, Britain exported F-16 HUD technology to Israel but the use of a joint venture would have made avoided the embarrassment of that public British u-turn.
Unmanned Aerial Vehicles are the drones that Israel uses for assassinations, reconnaisance, artillery-targetting, surveillance and so on. They range from souped up Model aircraft with missiles to remotely-controlled full-size aircraft carrying large payloads. They are the 'Aerial Hunter/Killers' of the Terminator movies. It is standard modern battlefield kit for most armies, but the Israelis have a whole battle-proven fleet and lead most nations technologically.

!!!Act now to save Stag Works!!!

chiapas | 25-07-2006 16:32 | Free Spaces | Social Struggles | Sheffield

Hot on the heels of the proposed development of the General Cemetary is a planning application that has been submitted to build two 5/6 storey blocks of flats, containing 299 bedrooms right next door to Stag Works on John Street in Sheffield. Stag Works is used 24 hours a day by bands and artists to make amazing music, yet the planning application makes no provision for acoustic protection.

The Real Enemy

Joe Quinn | 25-07-2006 16:03 | Analysis | Anti-militarism | Globalisation | Sheffield | World

At present, many writers in the alternative media are feeling extremely angry, depressed and frustrated at what is happening in Palestine and Lebanon. Despite hundreds of editorials and essays eloquently decrying Israeli aggression and provocation and spelling out the very obvious reason for the long-standing violence in the Middle East, Israel continues its murderous rampage, killing almost 70 Lebanese civilians yesterday. Yesterday's attacks involved Israeli bombing of entire Lebanese villages, such as Srifa in the south west of Lebanon where Israeli F-16 jets, supplied free of charge by the US government, destroyed 15 houses, killed at least 20, and wounded at least 30, men women, young and old alike. The truly horrifying thing however is that the inhabitants of the villages were fleeing on the orders of the Israeli government itself, yet as the villagers attempted to leave in their cars and vans, they were targeted by Israeli jets and blown to pieces...

The Welfare Reform Bill: A move to a 21st Century version of the Workhouse?

Colin Revell | 25-07-2006 14:29 | Globalisation | Indymedia | Social Struggles | London | Sheffield

The government is targeting millions of disabled people with the threat of losing up to 30 pounds per week if the claimant does not comply with their plans. The proposed replacement to Incapacity Benefit (IB), the Employment Support Allowance (ESA), will only rise above £56 a week (JSA levels) if the claimant meets very strict requirements.

Middle East: Cradle or Graveyard of Empire?

Ardeshir Mehrdad | 23-07-2006 09:49 | Lebanon War 2006 | Analysis | Anti-militarism | Sheffield | World

No, the abysmal failures in Iraq have not dissuaded Washington from embarking on yet another adventure. George W. Bush and his warmongering allies are preparing themselves for another major incident in the Middle East. This time Iran is the main challenge in the establishment of the new world order and a direct target.

Yorkshire MEPs Remain Reticent on the Yorkshire Ripper Cover-Up

Peter Newman | 20-07-2006 22:47 | Repression | Social Struggles | Sheffield

While awareness continues to spread among the general public that something is horribly wrong with the Yorkshire Ripper case, the region's representatives in the European Parliament remain strangely bashful and reticent on this vital life-or-death issue.

America's Slaughter in Lebanon

Archie Kennedy | 19-07-2006 21:03 | Analysis | Anti-militarism | Repression | Sheffield

World events have recently taken on the personality of a madman from a bad 60's b grade movie, intent on taking over the world. Maybe that is exactly what's happening.
