ALERTA ANTIFA: CASUALS UNITED BEHIND PEGIDA SCOTLAND @edlnews @misscheeky666

Violent former football hooligan Jeff Marsh has linked up with his Rangers loving hooligan friends in the SDL to deliver Pegida Scotland, organised by Casuals United's "Pie And Mash Squad" (5 words), a sectarian version of the neo-nazi-crammed Pegida UK which failed to win support in Newcastle. Expect anti-Catholic chants alongside anti-Muslim and plenty of Hitler saluting.

UG#704 - Legal Restrictions as Fictions (The Deep State's Passion for Big Data)

This time we hear a pair of talks from 31C3 - the latest Chaos Computer Congress - both by insiders with extensive experience on the subject of mass surveillance. First, NSA expert, James Bamford, on the relationships between the NSA and the big telecom companies. Next we hear Caspar Bowden, on the legal basis for the NSA's mass surveillance program, PRISM. Microsoft summarily dismissed him from his job of 9 years as head of privacy after he raised this issue, and he has spent the last 3 years alerting people to the danger ever since. In essence, he says, the deliberately complex legal regulation of data privacy, which he summarised at the very start of the show - gives Europeans no effective rights against NSA surveillance, whilst affording Americans rights against spying by other nations. Although neither speaker seems to have much idea about the deep state, their talks nevertheless provide useful information.

UG#703 - Dispatches from Weimar America (Surveillance & Unchecked Power in USA)

This week, a range of speakers contribute complimentary perspectives on life in modern USA. We examine the methods, history, purposes and trace the implications of the mass surveillance state and its accompanying machinery of social domination by perpetuating fear among the US citizenry. How to respond to an amoral government which appears set on establishing a totalitarian state, or of destroying society in the effort?

Far Right Exploiting Homeless Soldiers @poppylegion @edlnews @hopenothate

Former grenadier Tim Arnold has returned to Britain from Thailand to set up two interlinked fascist organisations for ex-military personnel, the VFF (Veterans For Freedom) and the NLD (National League Democracy) offshoots for Liberty GB, for which Mr Arnold manages the Liberty Ex-Forces Group with assistance from ex-BNP culturalist Jack Buckby, the pair of them claiming to raise charity money from what they call Ultra Marathons.

Leadership Issues at ITUC Continue

ITUC and ILO employee describes double standards at ITUC and ILO. The leadership of these organizations are accused of putting their own interests before those of the workers that they are supposed to help. The ex employee is especially critical of Sharan Burrow.

ALERTA ANTIFA - PEGIDA NAZIS INVADE NEWCASTLE ON 28/02/15 @edlnews @slatfascists

EDLers, BNPers and Britain Firsters will be goostepping around Newcastle on Saturday the 28th of February from midday onwards, under the Pegida UK (PUK) flag of convenience. PUK's facebook administrators describe this as a "warm-up in a place of support" before moving onto London and Birmingham which they call "enemy territory", hoovering up hardcore nazis as their own.

ALERTA ANTIFA: PEGIDA NAZIS TARGET NEWCASTLE & MANCHESTER @edlnews @slatfascists

German neo-Nazis are invading Manchester and Newcastle at short notice to infect working class communities with hatred and fear. Pegida UK have set up facebook accounts infested with EDLers, NWIers, NFers, BNPers and also Shitain Firsters preparing to wreak havoc throughout the United Kingdom, inspired by the Dresden marches.

#702 - The Temptation of The Technofix 2 (Have We Got Too Much Technology?)

We continue listening in on the October 2014 International Forum on Globalization conference "Techno-Utopianism & the Fate of the Earth". Seven speakers with contrasting styles and material manage to paint a pretty consistent picture of an economically justified technological development unhinged from our truly human values, one that is unsettling and depressing humans in ways beyond out conscious comprehension.

Real Media Gathering – 28th Feb – Manchester

Real Media | 20-01-2015 21:36 | Indymedia | Other Press | Sheffield

Join us in Manchester for a massive independent media fair including big speakers, discussions, networking and media training workshops.

NAMBY PAMBY NAZIS: TOMMY ROBINSON'S SHARIA EDL TAKEOVER @edlnews @slatedl

Since being released from gaol, Tommy Robinson AKA Stephen Yaxley Lennon has trekked across to Germany to learn from anti-immigrant fascists Pegida, his intention to clean up his beloved EDL to appeal to ageing middle class Hooray Henry's who associate Henley with Regatta snobbery rather than crappy shirts and jeans.

UG#701 - The Temptation of The Technofix (The Quest for "New Nature")

We hear a group of speakers from a conference on "Techno-Utopianism & the Fate of the Earth" organized last month by the International Forum on Globalization. A range of speakers offer perspectives on humanity's efforts to improve on nature, including critical looks at GM, synthetic biology, nanotechnology and electrosmog. Geoengineering, as we hear, is setting a new precedent - a technology designed not to improve life on earth but to mitigate the effects of older technologies.

Golden Dawn Flag At Manchester Nazi Pegida Gathering @edlnews @slatfascists

It was supposed to be a bunch of neo-nazis pretending not to be neo-nazis for the cameras, while gathering to hijack the France commemorations, but there were the usual lot of Hitler salutes reported, and guess what, somebody thought it was wise to fly the Golden Dawn flag.

NAZIS TO GATECRASH LONDON ANTI-PEDIGA PROTEST @exposingBF @edlnews @AntiFascistN

Unite Against Fascism have called a vigil outside of the German Embassy in London to support anti-Pegida campaigners in Germany. Sure enough, the tired, worn thugs from the British fascist scene have declared their intention to turn up to oppose them. Casuals United (Piss and Shit squad), the SEA, the NF, and of course, the stupid old EDL, and members of Britain First are expected to travel across to have a pop at the UAF in small numbers under the banner of "UK Pegida", to follow on from the failure that was "Golden Dawn UK", "New Dawn", "UK Dawn" or whatever they called themselves.

The EDL are almost begging Britain First to attend - Jayda will be well chuffed at all the attention coming her way - usually everyone ignores her.

ALERTA ANTIFA - NAZI PRICKS IN MANCHESTER THIS SUNDAY - 7PM @edlnews @slatedl

The complete and utter bellends of the NWI, EDL and the Pie and Mash Squad will be turning up in Piccadilly Gardens in Manchester this Sunday, after getting tanked up on Stella at the local Wetherspoons. Gathering for their wanky "UK Pegida" march lol, these braindead no marks are more than happy to waste their Sunday night to stand around in the pouring rain chanting racist abuse when surely the fools have better things to do.

UG#700 - Is There No Other Way the World May Live? (Audiocollage of Dissidents)

To mark our 700th show, a 2 hour audiocollage of new material which questions 'official' reality. Beginning with fairly broadly understood deceptions such as the War On Terror, Democracy and Economics we look at their philosophical underpinning - the notion that humans live in a dead, machine like, essentially meaningless universe which spontaneously arose out of nothing. What if life and communication are more widely spread than we believe, if human consciousness is just one part of Gaia, a universal consciousness which transcends human attempts to pin it down, a life force more accessible to our hearts than our heads?

UG#699 - A Country with A Military or A Military with A Country?

This show contrasts the perspectives of two whistleblowers on the inside the US War Machine. One, Scott Bennett, from whom we heard last time, blew the whistle in 2014 and offers fresh first hand testimony from the machine designed to serve up an unremitting diet of war and fear, and moving USA rapidly towards a full-on totalitarian police state. The other, Sibel Edmonds, who blew the whistle on false flag terror in the immediate wake of 9-11, shares her acute awareness of the operations of the deep state and explains why she has just published a fictionized account of her discoveries as a whistleblower.

A Humane Approach For Dealing With Hate @edlnews @exposing_ukip @slatfascists

Since the marvelled conception of the world wide web at Oxford Uni by Timothy Berners-Lee, artificial intelligence has sought to emulate the real world intelligence through the creation of the first chatrooms onwards, where real life racist cowards who wouldn't say boo to the proverbial goose when confronted with a six-foot-six foot non-white male, can rant and rave all morning, day and night long with in a fixated fervour of racism, homophobia and sexism until his heart's content. Finally, the tap room bigot propping up the bar of his BNP boozer could open his arms and say "hello world!" while cheaply lambasting Muslims, black people, asylum seekers, lesbian and gay people, migrant workers and immigrants of all generations.

UKIP's WHITE SUPREMACISM - @exposing_ukip @hopenothate @edlnews @leejasper

UKIP's most popular and prolific tweeter David Jones, who is regularly retweeted by all the UKIP hierarchy including their two MPS and their MEPs, has twelve and a half thousand followers which makes him the most popular member of UKIP on social media. His twitter account is peppered with calls for Islam to be banned and tweets calling for Muslims to be expelled from Britain, but Muslims are not Mr Jones's only pet (race) hate.

He also loathes black people with a vengeance also, and wishes Britain was wholly white (read on).

In Rojava: People’s War is not Class War

Text “In Rojava: People’s War is not Class War”, which you can read below, represents a contribution of “Internationalist Communist Tendency” (ICT) to a debate that has been taking place in certain circles claiming “anti-capitalist struggle” since several weeks. The central points of this discussion are current events in Western Kurdistan, Rojava.

NEO NAZIS TOLERATED BY UKIP @exposing_ukip @slatfascists @edlnews @tellmama‏

Officially (on paper at least) UKIP still maintain they refuse to allow members of fascist groups into their party, but a mere cursory glance at UKIPers on Facebook and Twitter reveals hundreds of party publicists who trumpet not just UKIP but a whole host of far right organisations across the board from the EDL to the FN. So much so, that the common retort /excuse of UKIP's senior members is that EDLers, Britain Firsters and BNPers are "pretending to be UKIP to discredit the party", even though many of the aforementioned neo-Nazi UKIPers are regularly liked and retweeted by top ranking UKIP officials, giving them the social media seal of approval.
