Twenty-nine Years of Dignified Resistance: An Echo in the Heartbeat of the Peopl

17th November 1983 to 17th November 2012
by the
Dorset Chiapas Solidarity Group

UG#594 - Occupy 2.0 (Peer Produced Politics)

This week we hear three different perspectives on the ongoing Occupy movement. Firstly, an open letter to the police by occupier Reverend Richard Lang. Then Noam Chomsky on how to broaden Occupy and on its relationship to the US Republicrat kabuki. Finally P2P theorist Michel Bauwens sets Occupy in the context of emerging peer production. We conclude with another reading from chapter 7 of David Graeber's Debt, The First 5000 Years.

UG#593 - Let Your Life Be A Friction (To Stop The Machine)

After a call to action to 'stop the machine', we hear a couple of voices of those whose lives have been a friction to slow it down. Angie Zelter tells of the plowshares destruction of nuclear weapons, and John Stewart on the prevention of airport expansion, while Gwen Schulman reports of how Canadian environmental NGOs are 'partnering' with big mining firms.

november 5th #OpVendetta march on parliament - report & pics

rikki | 06-11-2012 00:22 | Policing | Social Struggles | Sheffield

up to a thousand people took part this evening in a rally and march and film re-enactment. after gathering at trafalgar square, several hundred people marched down whitehall, many wearing iconic 'anon' masks, and gathered at the gates of parliament, taking over the road and closing it to traffic for several hours this evening. as numbers dwindled towards midnight, it seemed unlikely that westminster would erupt in flames shortly after midnight as it did in the film 'v for vendetta'.

As Coal Use Declines Why Make It Easier to Dig It Out

The Loose Anti Opencast Network is calling on the Government to align Planning Policy with Energy Policy after discovering that it is the Government's intention to phase out the use of coal for power generation purposes, leading to a 75% decline in the use of coal for such a purpose over the next 10 years. At the same time, through provisions in the Growth and Infrastructure Bill it is possibly making it easier to dig the coal out!

The EDL's Racist Tweets Go Unpunished - #edl

Time after time, people (including ex-EDL members) have speculated that the EDL are part of the state apparatus. Whether "new world order" or old-fashioned institutionalised prejudice, members of the EDL are rarely prosecuted for racist tweets inciting violence, whereas, anybody makiing off-the-cuff remarks about celebrities are subject to a quick knock at the door, suggesting protecting famous people from slander is more important for the authorities than protecting society from hatred and violence.

BBC Investigates a Planning Decision of National Importance

The 8th LAON Press release explains why the BBC's Counrtyfile Programme is investigation a Planning Decision which has national implications if it is not altered. The press release gives details of the campains that have been launched to both overturn the decision by means of a judicial review and how to sign a petition to prevent similar applications from succeeding. This decision, if upheld, means that the applications to opencast in other areas of England are more likely to succeed.

Yaxley's Last Stand

The humiliated "street worriers" of the EDL are returning to Walthamstow on Saturday the 27th of October 2012 for another Little Big Flop, going back to the site of their embarrassing defeat aiming for revenge against local opposition to racism. Referring to everybody who opposes them "communists", one defeat is not enough for the EDL's cowardly Fuhrer Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, whose pig-headed pride has given him the smart idea to return to Walthamstow seeking violent confrontation with antifascists. He's dim, he's ignorant, but surely he's not that thick??? Is he???
