9/11 Truth - The worldwide “BuildingWhat?” Campaign

Building What? | 02-09-2010 10:02 | Anti-militarism | Repression | Social Struggles | Sheffield | World

BBC reported the collapse of Building 7 of the WTC before it actually occured!
“Recognizing the high correlation between those who know about the collapse of WTC 7 and those who believe that a new – or rather real – 9/11 investigation is needed, I propose that the international 9/11 Truth Movement initiate, starting this September, a world-wide, year-long ‘BuildingWhat?’ campaign. Through this campaign, we would seek to make the fact of its collapse so widely known that the mention of Building 7 would never again evoke the question: ‘Building What?’ ” –David Ray Griffin

Report calls for “infiltration” of 9/11 sites

Annie | 29-08-2010 20:30 | Anti-militarism | Repression | Social Struggles | Sheffield | World

A new report released by a think tank called Demos warns of the hazardous effects of conspiracy theories on society and recommends strategies for governments to mitigate these effects, including the infiltration of websites.

The report, called The Power of Unreason: Conspiracy Theories, Extremism and Counterterrorism, says "most notoriously and influentially, the ‘9/11 truth movement’ has questioned the official accounts of 9/11 and has become a large and growing political force."

The report notes that the 9/11 truth movement is "peaceful", but makes no distinction between the legitimate questioning of the official account of 9/11 and any number of unrelated, and often racist, conspiracy theories.

“Countdown to Zero” — or to War on Iran?

John Walsh | 24-08-2010 07:00 | Anti-militarism | Anti-racism | Social Struggles | Sheffield | World

Countdown to Zero is now playing in a theater near you, at least if you live in a very “blue state” or a “blue neighborhood,” for example, Cambridge, MA, my hometown, or San Francisco. The movie is aimed squarely at the antiwar, anti-nuclear pro-Obama audience, which dwells therein and is all too susceptible to the “humanitarian” streak of imperialism. It is a very shrewd propaganda flick, as Darwin Bond-Graham demonstrated in his superb review, a film which in fact helps to pry open a little bit further the door to a war on Iran.

Bradford EDL organiser revealed. Stop the EDL in Bradford!

anon | 21-08-2010 23:58 | Anti-racism | Repression | Social Struggles | Sheffield | World

The English Defence League are the racist football thugs that by now everyone has heard of. They have attacked mosques, put pigs heads on mosques, attacked Muslims women & pulled off their hijabs. They have smashed up shops, cars, homes & rampaged through Luton, Bolton, Stoke, Dudley, Aylesbury, causing trouble. They now plan to riot in Bradford in Yorkshire on the 28th August.

While Palestinians die! The BBC Lies!

Filasteen Abdul | 21-08-2010 01:11 | Flotilla to Gaza | Anti-militarism | Palestine | Social Struggles | Sheffield

Newcastle, Tyne and Wear. On 17th August the BBC programme ‘Panorama’ aired 'Death on the Med' a documentary about the Israeli attacks on the Gaza Freedom Flotilla in May 2010.Since shooting nine peace activists dead on the Freedom Flotilla, the Israeli state has led a concerted attempt to rewrite history - making their commandos the victims of an assault by “terrorists”. BBC news coverage of the attack and Panarama’s recent programme clearly show that the BBC is following suit and aligning itself with the Zionist state of Israel.

Towards a World War III scenario? Role of Israel in triggering an attack on Iran

Michel Chossudovsky | 15-08-2010 09:16 | Anti-militarism | Globalisation | Social Struggles | Sheffield | World

source:"Options in Dealing with Iran’s Nuclear Program", CSIS Report, March 2010
In a very real sense, the war plans against Iran, which has been on the Pentagon's drawing board for more than five years, threatens the future of humanity.

This war can be prevented if people forcefully confront their governments, pressure their elected representatives, organize at the local level in towns, villages and municipalities, spread the word, inform their fellow citizens as to the implications of a nuclear war, initiate debate and discussion within the armed forces.

The holding of mass demonstrations and antiwar protests is not enough. What is required is the development of a broad and well organized grassroots antiwar network which forcefully challenges the legitimacy of war, a global people's movement which criminalizes war.

Shell disrupted - Beat the Boreholes continues

Stop Shell Hell in Mayo | 09-08-2010 16:33 | Rossport Solidarity | Climate Chaos | Ocean Defence | Social Struggles | Sheffield

Yesterday at about 2.30pm Shell began to lower "Jack - 1" - one of two survey barges currently in Sruth Fhada Chonn estuary SAC (Special Area of Protection) - in order to tug it to another part of the estuary.

The Rossport Solidarity Camp was ready and willing to claim free passage of the public estuary and in the process upset the operation. Over a dozen Shell security boats and two Garda RIBS couldn't keep the 6 kaykers out, with two of them reaching the moving barge after an hour and a half of chase.

The English Defence League are an Islamophobic and racist organisation whose leadership and foot soldiers have links to the BNP, Combat 18, Blood and Honour, White Pride, English Shieldwall, English Nationalist Alliance and UKIP. The EDL have rioted in Stoke, Luton, Bolton, Dudley etc. They have been photographed and filmed giving Nazi salutes and with swastika flags. They are planning yet another riot in Bradford on the 28th August described by them as "the big one" [partly because the UAF have stirred it up as the "big one"]. This Saturday 7th August the EDL or "North East Infidels" are meeting at the Red Star Seaham for a pre Bradford meeting & an EDL party.

Freemovement - Say No to Removals/Deportations

John O | 21-07-2010 12:03 | Migration | Social Struggles | Workers' Movements | Sheffield | World

Important Information for Refugees granted leave to remain for 5 years in 2005

From 30 August 2010, those granted refugee leave or humanitarian protection in 2005 for 5 years will start to come to the end of their 5 years leave.

They will need as a matter of urgency to renew their application for indefinite leave to remain.

Someone who does not do so before his/her 5 years leave expires may suffer several problems - including losing any entitlement to work or receive benefits, or that any application for indefinite leave to remain is dealt with more restrictively, could also lead to their status being revoked and removal from the UK.

The UK Border Agency has published information about making applications for indefinite leave to remain for these people. See:
Refugees and those with humanitarian protection - route to settlement
 http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/asylum/outcomes/successfulapplications/leavetoremain/

Plus
For information on how to apply for indefinite leave to remain before your leave expires, you should go to:
