Por fin se fue su ridícula santidad, y con él las hordas de devotos, pijos, fascistas y demás ralea que inundó Madrid durante la Jornada Mundial de la Juventud (y de la represión policial). La CNT madrileña da, por razones evidentes, por concluida su campaña que, por desgracia, se ha quedado corta: ni los 1500 carteles, ni los 4000 comunicados, ni las 5000 pegatinas editadas para la ocasión han sido suficientes para satisfacer a los muchos simpatizantes de esta campaña que se han acercado a nuestros locales en la última semana para llevarse unos pocos y se han encontrado que ya se habían gastado.
En otro orden de cosas, no nos cansamos de felicitar a todos los participantes en el concurso de diseños ateos que nos han enviado cerca de 50, y que han conseguido la simpatía de miles de visitantes a nuestro blog. A todos ellos/as trasladamos la invitación de Tinta Negra anARTchist blog a unirse a este proyecto. De las propuestas enviadas, habéis mostrado vuestras preferencias por el diseño “Noconmisimpuestos” enviado por Ángel desde Murcia, al quele llegará ese obsequio pobre en lo material pero rico en lo espiritual que le tenemos reservado.
Desde aquí debemos dar las gracias a los participantes y colaboradores en esta campaña que han contribuido a difundir carteles, pegatinas, comunicados, el blog, proponer iniciativas o que han acudido a la Semana de Cine Ateo, etc. y que han hecho posible que tome forma un mensaje humanista integral, la de aquellos que no queremos que nos gobierne ni un Dios, ni un viejo disfrazado, ni nadie, porque queremos gobernar todos los ámbitos de nuestra vida en sus vertientes tanto individuales como colectivas, y no nos cansamos de repetir:
“La religión dejará de ser necesaria cuando el hombre sea lo suficientemente inteligente como para gobernarse a sí mismo”.

The occupiers of the ZAD were facing court last week as the authorities began the eviction process against the anti-airport community. The ZAD -Zone d’Aménagement Differé (dubbed the Zone A Defendre by the activists) is an area of 6 square miles in the French countryside near Nantes due to be flattened in order to make way for a new international airport, high-speed train and motorway (see SchNEWS 750).
Activists held a demonstration of 300 people outside the court last Monday 17th August. The court cases were postponed until September 6th and 15th which allows more time to plan and prepare for eviction attempts……..
This environmentally catastrophic project is inevitably sold to us with the full green wash package, claiming to be ‘the first airport to have a positive energy balance …with the aim of preserving the natural state of the site and protected natural spaces’. The specifics of how they actually plan to do this seemingly impossible task are, unsurprisingly, no-where to be seen.
The corporate face of this is Vinci, an international transport infrastructure company, amongst other things, that also claim to have built France’s first ‘eco-motorway’. They own many of France’s motorways so they are the people who profit every time anyone drives on one of their paege (toll) roads.
Anti-airport activists have taken advantage of this, however, by creating a popular and effective action. They hold the barrier of a pay point open allowing people to travel for free. All drivers get a flyer about what Vinci are up to and many donate money thus raising funds for the campaign whilst at the same time denting the pocket of Vinci.
Activists from the ZAD have made a call out for people to come and get involved and help create ideas for actions and strategies against the forthcoming eviction. Their eviction wish list includes scaffolding, steel cables, barbed wire, nets, fencing, metal cutters / pliers, rope, banner material, fire extinguishers, saws, hammers, nails, gas masks, goggles, helmets, pallets, welding materials, megaphones, paint, blankets, bicycles, monsters…
How to get there: The ZAD is north of Nantes, near the towns of Notre-Dame des Landes and Vigneux Grandchamp des Fontaines. It is made up of many different squats but the best place to head first is les Planchettes, the welcome centre (someone will be there to welcome everyday between 12-2pm) which is on the D28. It’s a big farmhouse with big banners hanging above it.
If you can’t make it to France, Vinci also have their fingers in many pies in the UK including motorway and airport construction as well as offices across Britain which can be visited.

After destroying the 64m$ Mansion on the private island of Climate Criminal Sir Richard Branson, the ‘green’ owner of Virgin Airlines responsible for pumping billions of tons of CO2 into our atmosphere, hurricane IRENE dipped north to save the hundreds of thousands of still destitute tent and shack dwellers of Haiti, and headed for the USA, home of Climate Denier Syndrome and planet wasting corporations.
The U.S. National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration is predicting that hurricane Irene is going to strafe pretty much every inch of the most densely populated part of America, i.e. the East Coast.
So if you live anywhere from the Carolinas to Boston, is it time to panic? It would be, if panicking actually helped!
The greedy corrupt Brazilian politicians are voting to give free rein to their fascist landlord colleagues and the McDonalds backed Ranching industry to destroy the Amazon Rainforest.
The politicians appeal to nationalist sentiment.. saying we have already destroyed our forests and they have every right.
But 79% of Brazilians are AGAINST the new laws going through.

I blame McDonalds, leading the insane MEAT FRENZY of North American capitalism. A series of major reports including Greenpeace’s ‘Slaughtering The Amazon’ have shown the cheap beef industry to be behind the rapidly increasing destruction of the billion year old Amazon rainforest, which may be the starting gun for catastrophic climate change and global destruction.
The news of the killing of José Ribeiro and his wife came on the same day the Brazilian congress debated a controvers
the root of Amazon slaughter is Meat Frenzy
ial set of new laws called “Forest Code” which, according to environmentalists, would be harmful to the Amazon, reducing the amount of land preserved from clear cutting.
In a video interview posted on YouTube last November, Ribeiro looks off camera and says to the interviewer: “I have received death threats by businessmen who work with loggers, who don’t want the forest standing.”
José Cláudio Ribeiro da Silva campaigned to stop logging and deforestation in the Amazon rainforest
After selling the hardwood and obliterating the ecosystems the land quickly degrades but can support low quality cattle for some years. The trade is fuelled by the billion dollar advertising budget of McDonalds Corporation, and others. With suitable chemical taste additives ever increasing quantities are being sold to already obese North Americans, duped into seeing it as a happy party treat or a virility symbol.
Blaming the fascistic landlord class of Brazil is correct, for their infinite crimes against nature and humanity.
But in the case of José and Maria, due to the driving force of the beef industry, we can trace the culprit straight back to Ronald McDonald!
World stock markets plunge/ Fears of recession intensify…/. Global recession warning rattles stock…/ European bank funding / Unemployment rises sharply / The System is Ready to Blow / Markets in Meltdown /
The world financial system is now one huge mess, The stupid debt system and dog eat dog mentality
have brought the whole thing rolling to a cliff edge. It appears the Central banks have run out of
ideas to slow things down.
If Capitalism blows it’s NOT the end.. it’s just a new ball game.
‘The West’ is immensely rich in property and assets, yet suddenly will be bankrupt.
This is nonsense.. all we need to do is band together in Local Assemblies, pool our resources , skills
and possibilities, and work out an infinitely better future, without destroying the planet. In some places this is already happening.
The Collapse of Capitalism means the rich will lose their ill gotten gains.. For the rest it will be ‘survival as usual’…
