Dale Farm: Ethnic Cleansing in England

DALE FARM: FIGHT THE POWER

CALLOUT AS EVERYONE GEARS UP FOR IMMINANT EVICTION ATTEMPT 

As the eviction date for Dale Farm is only a matter of

irish travellers to be evicted from their own land

hours away, Basildon Council has announced that it will take the draconian step of cutting off all water and electricity to the site once the eviction notice period expires on midnight 31st August. This will leave sick, elderly, young, and pregnant residents without access to water or electricity. Amnesty International have condemned the removal of vital water and electricity in these circumstances, and asked their supporters to put pressure on the council to cease this serious violation of human rights.

An injunction has been sought in consideration of two residents who are dependent upon a constant electricity supply for nebulisers, without access to which their lives are placed in serious jeopardy.

Also, notices have gone up along Oak Road, adjacent to Dale Farm, saying that the road will be closed to all but residents from Friday, Sept. 2nd.  Both ends of Oak Road will be blocked (blocking access via both Hardings Elm Road and Gardiners Lane North). Additionally, the lay by on the southern end of Oak Lane (leading on to the A127; by the white ‘Basildon onion’ water tower) will be blocked.

There will be a no stop zone on the footpaths on the A127 between A176 at Billericay and A132 at Wickford. Residents are feeling under siege, with children asking how many more nights they are going to be able to sleep in their beds. Dale Farm is a big site, so it should be possible to find routes in, but be advised that after Sept. 1, it will be harder to get in, and likely impossible to get vehicles in.

Dale Farm families could be evicted from midnight tonight

The last remaining legal barrier between the eviction of 86 families from their homes at Dale Farm has now fallen. The emergency injunction we sought, which would have delayed the planned eviction, has not been granted. This means that, from midnight tonight, the bailiffs can come at any time. The homes of the Dale Farm families are at risk.

Now is the time to make your stand with in solidarity with Dale Farm.

Please come down to Camp Constant – the more people we have, the more powerful our message and the more we can support the residents to resist the eviction.

Dale Farm is only 30 minutes by train from London Liverpool Street Station.  The atmosphere at Dale Farm is inspiring — check out video of residents and supporters celebrating and learning together.

We will also be demonstrating: TELL EVERYONE: Sat, 10th Sept, 1pm, see here for more information and email: savedalefarm@gmail.com to add your group’s support to the list…

This weekend at Dale Farm (in addition to site construction and other activities):

On Saturday, Sept 3rd, noon: Jewish Solidarity visit — it’s important that cultures with a shared history of oppression support each other when our fundamental human rights face being breached.  That is why this Saturday, Jewish rabbis, citizens and activists will be on a special blockade in support of residents at Dale Farm.

There is a workshop, on Sunday Sept. 4th, 2pm:  Freedom of Movement and the Right to Stay! This is the rallying cry for Roma, Gypsies and Travellers and of migrants throughout the world. A common thread of persecution, of forbidden lands, eviction and deportation connect the struggles for migrant rights and the rights of Gypsies and Travellers. These realities have met dramatically in the crack-down and deportations of Roma people from France and Italy. Come to the Workshop organised by No One Is Illegal and London No Borders including a speaker who is an activist in Amnesty International’s campaign against the persecution of Roma in Europe.

Tar Sands demos hotting up

10-Day Tar Sands Action at White House

Bill McKibben, environmentalist founder of 350.org (which spotlights former Obama “green jobs” czar Van Jones as one of its messengers), writes in the Washington Post that “more than a thousand people have signed up to be arrested over two weeks beginning Aug. 20 — the biggest display of civil disobedience in the environmental movement in decades and one of the largest nonviolent direct actions since the World Trade Organization demonstrations in Seattle back before Sept. 11.”

McKibben and 70 other protestors engaged in the Tar Sands Action were arrested Saturday, with another 45 arrested by Sunday afternoon. Protests will continue until September 3.

Endorsements for the Tar Sands Action come from the usual radical suspects, including US Climate Action Network, Institute for Policy Studies, Clean Air Watch, Credo Mobile, Healthcare-NOW!, Rainforest Action Network, Hip-Hop Caucus, Public Citizen, The Shalom Center, and 350.org.

eezed middle-class, the victims of war and the wounded Earth itself.”

The 350 in 350.org stands for parts per million of CO2 in the atmosphere:

To preserve our planet, scientists tell us we must reduce the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere from its current level of 392 parts per million to below 350 ppm. But 350 is more than a number—it’s a symbol of where we need to head as a planet.

The spectre of runaway CO2 levels on the planet has radicals up in arms. They want POTUS to do something about it: “The issue is simple,” McKibben writes: “We want the president to block construction of Keystone XL, a pipeline that would carry oil from the tar sands of northern Alberta down to the Gulf of Mexico.”

We’re gearing up for Moving Planet, the massive global day of climate action coming up on September 24th. There will be events large and small, events bike-powered and solar-powered — and we’ll weave them all together into a single global story and a powerful call to action to demand true leadership on the climate crisis.

Plus, don’t forget two key future protest dates.

On September 17, the Occupy Wall Street radicals plan to set up camp on Wall Street using a page ripped from the 1960s in a 21st Century version of the Days of Rage. This will be followed by an encampment on October 6 in D.C.

 

 

.Campaign for CO2-free fuel.. please help.

We live in a fragile skin of breathable gas in an immense vacuum. The imminent danger is of uncontrollable climate change which could make the whole planet uninhabitable, like all others in our Solar System. The only solution is to immediately change to an economy without CO2 releases..  This is perfectly possible.

Etnocidio en “La selva más hermosa del mundo”

COMUNIDADES INDÍGENAS en la zona COLONIZADA del TIPNIS… No hace falta leer en la historia la crueldad de la colonización.

En pleno siglo XXI, observamos el
ETNOCIDIO cruelmente socapado
por autoridades del Gobierno.

¿Qué consecuencias tuvo la
colonización cocalera en el TIPNIS?
Adolfo Moye: Hemos visto que muchas comunidades terminaron rodeadas por colonos, como por ejemplo la comunidad de Santísima Trinidad donde yo vivo junto a 140 familias indígenas mezcladas con algunos colonos; hemos quedado al centro de la zona colonizada y rodeados por cocaleros. En la comunidad de Limo los hermanos del pueblo moxeño yuracaré ahora tienen apenas una hectárea y trabajan como empleados de los colonos. Sus hijos han tenido que migrar a las ciudades capitales para buscar empleo queriendo adoptar otra forma de vida; en muchos pueblos sólo quedan los viejitos. Algunas comunidades como Puerto Patiño e Isiborito se extinguieron y no sabemos a dónde se fueron esos hermanos.

Derechos Humanos pide respetar la marcha indígena y convoca a la pacificación..Fuente: Erbol, Tarija

La presidenta de la Asamblea Permanente de los Derechos Humanos de Bolivia (APDHB), Yolanda Herrera, demandó a los habitantes de San Ignacio de Moxos del departamento de Beni y otras poblaciones del país a respetar la marcha de los indígenas que se oponen a la construcción de la carretera por el parque nacional.

La marcha de más de un millar de indígenas de 34 pueblos indígenas del oriente boliviano, respaldado por el consejo Nacional de Markas y Ayllus del Qullasuyu y otras, recorrió al menos 90 kilómetros desde la ciudad de Trinidad hasta el municipio de San Ignacio de Moxos, donde algunos grupos adversarios anunciaron bloquearlos.

“Les pido que respetemos la demanda y la expresión de los hermanos y hermanas de los pueblos indígenas de tierras bajas que están realizando la marcha (en defensa del Territorio Indígena Parque Nacional Isiboro Sécure) porque la violencia sólo genera la violencia y empobrece a nuestro país”, afirmó.

La representante nacional de los Derechos Humanos, en declaraciones a radio Aclo Tarija de Erbol, argumentó que la marcha del pueblo indígena integrada por los niños, mujeres, varones y ancianos se manifiestan pacíficamente ante Bolivia sus demandas del respeto a su forma de vida, costumbres y su territorio.

Sin embargo, reiteró la convocatoria al presidente del Estado, Evo Morales, para que vaya hasta la marcha y establezca el diálogo porque son escenarios favorables para solucionar este conflicto sino más adelante podría haber otros escenarios por las circunstancias sociales que van generándose.

Campaña en Defensa del TIPNIS

Denunciamos ante Bolivia y el Mundo que el gobierno boliviano está transgrediendo la Constitución Política del Estado, el Convenio 69 de la OIT, la Ley del Medio Ambiente, el Reglamento de Áreas Protegidas y otras leyes bolivianas y compromisos internacionales y pretende construir de una manera ILEGAL COMPROBADA una carretera sobre el TIPNIS lo cual ocasionaría la mayor destrucción ecológica en la historia de Bolivia. Esto ocasionaría un ATENTADO a la vida y cultura de los pueblos moxeños, yurakarés y chimanés que habitan en él. Asimismo, se condenaría a la EXTINCIÓN de fauna y flora ÚNICAS en el mundo. Por otra parte, se afectaría de una manera irreparable la naciente de ríos fundamentales, lagos y belleza escénica. Solicitamos al presidente Evo Morales que sea consecuente con su discurso en defensa de la Madre Tierra.

¿Acaso este es el aporte de Evo Morales a la destrucción de la Amazonía boliviana?

Resist army repression: Israeli/Egyptian/Syrian

Mass rallies in Egypt against Israeli killings of Egyptian soldiers.

Divide and rule..Sure thing the Generals on BOTH sides are secretly delighted.

Using nationalism as always to divide and control

Suddenly interest has switched from Mubarak’s grisly trial.

Dont forget…”Before and after Mubarak was ousted, Egypt’s military arrested, imprisoned, tortured, and disappeared thousands, a practice continuing to ruthlessly stay in power and prevent change.”

and …”Notably, Washington backs brutal junta rule, including violence against growing public opposition to prevent a “second revolution.” So does National Association for Change leader Mohamad ElBaradei, saying he regards the military as the main guarantor of Egypt’s “incipient democracy,” when, in fact, none exists, isn’t planned, and won’t be tolerated by junta generals, top Obama administration officials, or himself, based on his offensive comment and others earlier.

From around March to July 7, Al Jazeera reported little about Egyptian discontent, strikes, street protests and brutal security force crackdowns, including the mass July 1 street protests and a million or more coming out on July 8….”

17yr Facebooker arrested for ‘start rioting’ quip.

FIRST THEY CAME FOR THE FACEBOOK KIDS………….

Please post on your facebook/twitter/blogs/comments………all over Prisoner suport group here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/143369622416604/

 

This is what he wrote.. “I think we should start rioting, it’s about time we stopped the authorities pushing us about and ruining this country.  “It’s about time we stood up for ourselves for once. So come on rioters – get some. LOL.”

This is an absolute attack on free speech. The 17 year old lives in a small village near Bury St.Edmunds.There is nothing specific in his facebook post to any area – it’s a general statement. He’s been given a curfew, youth rehabiitation order and god knows what else. He’d even deleted it so it ws only up for a short  time.

The weekend before last Nik Cohen posted in The Observer ‘Why are there no riots here’ – why aint he been done. Or a thousand pieces you could read in broadsheets giving opinions or on leftie blogs like this. Why pick on teenagers?

This prosecution is worse than the other one because it’s a general statement of opinion by no mean a specific incitement. If a kid in Syria had posted this he’d be hailed a hero. It’s now a crime here to say ‘I think we should start rioting’.

I think we need a lot of people who write and blog to stand up now and be counted on this one. Maybe some mass signed statement – maybe all put our names to what this kid has said and wait for the knock at the door. First they came for the 17 year old Facebookers…….

20000 anti papas ocupan SOL

Más de 20.000 ciudadan@s ha marchado por el centro de Madrid contra la visita del Papa Benedicto XVI y la financiación pública de la Jornada Mundial de la Juventud (JMJ).

La manifestación ha recorrido el centro de Madrid, pasando por la Puerta del Sol, donde los manifestantes se encontraron con cientos de peregrinos,   que pretendían cortar el paso a la plaza, momentos en los que hubo más de un cara a cara dialéctico. Banderas republicanas y con los colores del arco iris, ondeaban sobre los manifestantes imprimiendo otro color a esta ciudad invadida estos días por las diversas “recuas” católicas.

Hacia las 21:00 horas la Puerta del Sol estaba tomada por manifestantes laicos, y la calle Carretas, y la Plaza de Benavente, y Tirso de Molina… y la manifestación avanzaba ya por la calle Alcalá.
“Menos curas y más cultura”, “Menos crucifijos y más trabajo fijo”,   “Hemos venido, pagando el autobús”, “No con mis impuestos”, “Menos crucifijos y más trabajo fijo”, “Lo llaman estado laico y no lo es”, “Mejor perroflauta que pastor alemán”, “La religión fuera de la escuela”… son algunos de los gritos coreados en el recorrido.

El Papa apoya la violencia policial

shocking catholic fascist police action taped

Vídeos y testimonios de la actuación policial ayer en la Plaza de Sol contra periodistas acreditados. El fascismo policial actúa impunemente contra la prensa independiente, como en las peores dictaduras. 

No se pierdan los vídeos, son simplemente sobrecogedores. Fascismo puro y duro. Especial atención al primero de ellos, con una grabación de la actuación policial fascista en vivo y en directo.

Para “abrir boca”, les dejamos con el testimonio por escrito de una de las afectadas:   LEER MÁS AQUI

Represión brutal y censura.   ¿Quién con dos dedos de frente puede seguir considerando esta mierda una democracia?

Los únicos cobardes, totalitarios y criminales (en ideología y práctica histórica) sois los católico-frikis-papaflautas, niños adinerados procedentes de las grandes haciendas y mansiones de los banqueros y empresarios explotadores.  Ignorantes, sois la basura de la humanidad
