Resistance, Journal of the Earth Liberation Movement to Hit Store Shelves Today

Resistance Magazine was created as a vehicle to inform, inspire, and energize the earth liberation movement. Humans have pushed the earth to the brink of catastrophe and each day that passes brings us one step closer to a planet that can no longer sustain life.

The question has now become not what we can do, but what we must do; not what we are comfortable with, but what we are fully capable of; not what is convenient, but what is completely necessary to stop the destruction of our home.

From 1989 to Sevenstone 2009 it is time the truth be told.

underclassrising.net | 14-10-2009 11:27 | Sheffield

Sheffield, 1989. The Killing of 94 football fans at Hillsbrough makes international headlines as the grand old lady of Sheffield Victoria Station is demolished and another part of Sheffield's heritage gone. Disused buildings loom over the city like skeletons of an industrial empire while the underclass struggle to find work after the industry nears demise.

Whither Resilience and Transition? Why 'Peak Oil' Has Yet to Outlive its Usefulness

It's been a fascinating few days. Early in the week, Nate Hagens and Sharon Astyk were suggesting the perhaps the term 'peak oil' has outlived its usefulness, given that we have almost certainly peaked, and that the peak oil movement needs to shift its focus. It echoed something I wrote a while ago, likening ASPO and the wider peak oil movement to a Loch Ness Monster Society, dedicated to establishing the existence of this fabled creature. They organise conferences, scientific searches of the loch, write papers and journals, and then one day, an entire, intact Loch Ness Monster washes up on the shore. Then what? They have no reason to exist any longer, their whole raison d'etre vanishes overnight.
