Thousands of protesters opposed to mining and energy projects in southern Peru have taken over a commercial airport as the government struggled to restore calm a day after five died in a clash with police. Officials said that approximately 3,000 protesters had occupied the runway at the Juliaca airport in the region of Puno on Saturday. Several hundred police officers retreated to avoid another clash after weeks of protests over a controversial Canadian mining project. Protesters often mobilize to protect scarce water supplies, what they see as ancestral lands, or complain about potential pollution from new mines. Often times they also demand direct economic benefits from mining and oil projects, which have helped turn the Andean nation’s economy into one of the world’s fastest-growing but left behind a third of its people in poverty. Halted project After earlier clashes on Friday, Fernando Gala, the deputy mining minister, announced that the government had revoked a 2007 decree granting approval to the British Columbia-based Bear Creek Mining Corp to mine silver at Santa Ana. The decree was required because the mine site is within 80km of the international border with Bolivia. “It has been agreed to repeal the authorisation,” said Yohny Lescano, a politician who participated in a government dialogue on Thursday with protesters over the Santa Ana project. Bear Creek Chief Executive Andrew Swarthout told Reuters news agency that the company would sue the government to get its concession back and mining analysts have said the government’s move could lead foreign companies to think contracts aren’t respected in Peru. But Garcia said stability and social peace was more important. In the days before the clash at the airport, the first time the protests turned deadly, protesters had set fire to government buildings in the area. “I think there are more important objectives and the first one is to guarantee a peaceful transition and a trouble-free start to the government of Ollanta Humala,” Garcia told reporters. Some 5,000 protesters, mostly Aymara Indians, have descended on Puno over the past few weeks to demand concessions be revoked for all mining companies, not just Bear Creek’s Santa Ana project, ostensibly over concerns about potential pollution. Protesters have paralysed the area with road blockades since May 9 in an attempt to cancel the Santa Ana mine, as well as a proposed hydroelectric project on the Inambari river.

Gay marriage wins in NY!
ew York has become the sixth and most populous US state to allow same-sex marriage.
The Republican-controlled state senate voted 33-29 for a bill that had earlier been approved by the lower house, which has a Democratic majority.
New York Governor Andrew Cuomo quickly signed the bill into law. Gay weddings are expected to start within 30 days.
It has become a
contentious social issue ahead of next year’s presidential and congressional elections.
“New York has finally torn down the barrier that prevented same-sex couples from exercising the freedom to marry and from receiving the fundamental protections that so many couples and families take for granted,” Mr Cuomo said in a statement.
He kept his promise to sign the bill as soon as he received it after the Senate vote – rather than wait the usual 10 days.
Gay rights activists said the approval of the bill was a key victory for them, in what is seen as the birthplace of the US gay rights movement.

Ammonia NH3 scandal.CO2-free fuel suppressed by Big Oil.
80 years ago I could have taken a bus in Belgium that use CO2-free fuel, made from Green Gas Ammonia, and cheaper at present prices than gasoline. A car has been driven across America on NH3 with its motor slightly adapted, the safe clean fuel has been used for tractors, locomotives and even NASA JETS.
GREEN GAS NH3, is made by the same century old process used to make fertilizer..Just AIR plus WATER plus electricity. Now finally a new way to make Green Gas called SSAS has been found, which costs even less and is suited to wind turbine and off peak solar energy.
The oil and gas companies get billions every year in direct tax gifts from government, on top of their immense profits, and pay nothing to offset severe worldwide contamination and runaway climate change.
I`m not a moralistic person but last month I scrapped my old car.. Now I`m walking a lot and I live on a mountain. I really need transport, but how can I justify to my children if we take part in pushing the fragile world climate over the edge?
But WHY do we have to use planet destroying technology when a C02 free alternative has existed all along.? Why can no venture company get backing to produce the fuel, when the technology is simple and proven and even the distribution system already exists (for the fertilizer Ammonia)?
Because these corporate climate mega criminals have set it up that way. Of course. For nearly a century they have suppressed Green Gas NH3. When will they be prosecuted, pilloried , ostracised and brought to justice?..Okay I haven`t got much proof… 
For example.. The company GreenNH3 (which sells green gas at 50c a liter) reports on its efforts to publicise the product on a CBC show… After going through the interview process the man and woman said, they wanted us on the show, but could not, since our product (technology) had been vetoed by one of the Dragons who (he) was heavy invested in oil. check it out here
How come the oil industry in Nth America gets a 2.5 billion yearly tax gift while Green Gas supporters don`t even get their petitions answered? Another wonder of predator Capitalism!

CO2-free Car and Jet Fuel ALREADY EXISTS!
I’ve checked it out.. of course, it was Richard Branson of Virgin Airlines who promised to spend billions on a new GREEN air fuel,
After years of greenwash posing and ballyhoo he plans to use some ethanol, which hardly reduces emissions and removes plants which could be used for food.
But wait a minute.. CO2 free fuel has always existed!! (see previous post) here
Are all these people totally sold out or totally STUPID?
Anhydrous Ammonia is cheaper to produce than jet fuel, easy to make from solar powered systems, produces ZERO ZERO ZERO CO2, and has been extensively tested back in the 60s by NASA, with the X15 plane that reached a record 4520 mph!.( okay they mixed some oxygen fuel) http://www.nasa.gov/centers/dryden/news/FactSheets/FS-052-DFRC.html
ZERO EMISSIONS GREEN JET FUEL ALREADY EXISTS. only that converting the planes might cut into gluttonous profits.
Running your car on Green Gas (nh3) may be a little slower… running it on petroleum will ultimately destroy life conditions on the planet!
Heres the plane..

why not use Green Gas, nh3?: no emissions. From air and water!
To go on from yesterday’s post we include material below from the Greennh3 company which is trying to market Green Gas. The 1st photo is from 1933, the train and tractor are running now.
What a crime we have to use petroleum and destroy the planet just to enrich a cartel of powerful corporations…when cheap emissions free energy has been available all along!
GreenGas machines make Green sustainable fuel from air and water at any location where fuel
is needed in any quantity.
HOW –
- We have two proven green ways to make the fuel and three green ways to use it.
- Green NH3 is manufactured from simply air and water using clean renewable energy.
- Not to be confused with brown ammonia which can come from coal or other fossil sources.
Power* + Green NH3 Synthesizer = Zero Emission Fuel for less cost than gas and diesel
Producing NH3 as a green fuel
Only fuel except hydrogen that produces no greenhouse gases.- Anhydrous ammonia is an ultra-clean, energy-dense alternative liquid fuel.
- Ammonia will power diesel and spark-ignited internal combustion engines, direct ammonia fuel cells, and even combustion turbines.
*Some possible Power sources that can be used:
- windsolar (p.v.),daylight (not p.v.), low cost off-peak, shore tidal, hydro, ocean wave, ocean temp diff., ocean current
Letter to PM and Mr McGinty (Canada)
GreenGas again sent registered mail to PM Harper and Mr McGinty reminding them ( as they have every six months for the last 2 yrs ) that there is a lower cost, clean, safe alternative to tar sands oil or drilling which could save Canadians money and help clean up their environment. No reply at present.
GreenGas has been used safely on farms here for over 50 years.

Desalojos parados..Evictions stopped. 15M.
Més de mig centenar de persones solidàries es van aplegar el passat 9 de febrer a un immoble de Vic per intentar impedir el desnonament d’una família que es va arribar a produir. Ara, han imputat 13 participants de l’acció, entre els quals hi ha cinc militants de la CUP, un dels quals el regido
One result of the Take The Streets movement is that many repossessions of houses in mortgage arrears are being stopped. Now the police are getting heavy and in this case 13 people face charges.

| 18-22 JULIO 2011 BELLINZONA (SUIZA) MOVILIZACIONES POR EL PROCESO
Nuestra lucha, la de Billy, Costa y Silvia, junto a la de todas y todos los revolucionarios y rebeldes del mundo siempre ha sido combatir contra el sistema de explotación y dominio. Nuestros compañeros y nuestra compañera nunca han ocultado su hostilidad hacia el que explota, envenena y aterroriza cotidianamente. El enemigo siempre ha sido visible a sus ojos, fácil de descubrir. Estos encuentros serán en la Casa del Pueblo de Bellinzona (frente a la estación de tren). Además de la presencia en la Audencia, durante toda la semana se desarrollarán distintas iniciativas en la ciudad. http://barcelona.indymedia.org/newswire/display/425734/index.php |
