An impressive series of infographics has been produced, showing the variety of complementary ideas challenging the global domination of industrial capitalism. The illustrations cover degrowth, ecofeminism, deglobalization, the commons, the Vivir Bien movement and the concept of the rights of Mother Earth. Says the website: “To build systemic alternatives it is necessary to forge strategies and proposals that at different levels confront capitalism, extractivism, productivism, patriarchy, plutocracy and anthropocentrism”.

The court of ‘La Manada’ did not believe a woman who reported that her partner raped her Spanish / English
He got just 10 months, though even the Defence asked for 2 years, for beating and stabbing her. But they acquitted him for rape because she ‘didn’t struggle enough’. This despite the fact that the prosecution requested ten years in prison and had a previous conviction for raping another woman.
A medida que la UE responde al último informe sobre ciencia del clima, aquí detallamos por qué no deberíamos escuchar a la industria del gas. Últimamente,la Unión Europea ha estado ampliando su ‘estrategia climática 2050’ . La próxima semana expondrá cómo la UE puede cumplir sus compromisos en virtud del Acuerdo de París y mantener el aumento de la temperatura global por debajo de 1.5oc.
El anuncio responde al último informe del Panel Intergubernamental sobre el Cambio Climático (IPCC) , que muestra que mantenerse por debajo de 1.5c requerirá recortes de emisiones profundos y urgentes. Entonces, ¿puede la industria del gas, cuyo producto principal son los combustibles fósiles, lo mismo que impulsa el cambio climático, ser parte de la solución?
I received what follows from Becky Fury yesterday.

Becky Fury’s Award was well-deserved.
”I have just got off the plane after being at a festival in Holland. I was performing my show Political at the Dutch anarchist utopia ADM. I need a proper sleep. In my own bed and not in a makeshift hostel in the middle of a 24 hour festival.
Two front aid groups that operate in Turkey’s southeastern border provinces near Syria, led by known militants of al-Qaeda and the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIL), have been allowed to keep collecting new recruits to fight for armed jihadist causes in the permissive environment created by the Islamist government of President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan.
A high-profile Turkish al-Qaeda operative identified as Aytaç Polat has been involved in several charity outfits to mask his jihadist activities and appears to be untouchable despite the fact that his front association was named in court proceedings as an operation that sends fighters to Syria for enlistment with armed radical groups.
2018-11-22 from Workers Solidarity, video in English. Entrevistamos a William Hederman, un investigador ambiental que vive en el condado de Clare, sobre la planeada terminal de gas natural licuado en Shannon.
Su construcción significará que Irlanda no cumplirá con sus compromisos de Cambio Climático y, en cambio, estará atada a bombear gases de efecto invernadero adicionales durante décadas.
Como el GNL provendrá de los EE. UU., será gas del Fracking, un proceso prohibido en Irlanda que libera tres veces más metano que el gas convencional., muy perjudicial para el Cambio Climático, [video]
William está trabajando como parte de Futureproof Clare (FB, Twitter) que está haciendo campaña contra Shannon LNG.La planta estaría en el estuario de Shannon en Ballylongford, en North Kerry.

No LNG terminal on the Shannon – Climate Change & Methane
Date: Thu, 2018-11-22 15:39
We interviewed William Hederman, an environmental researcher living in County Clare, about the planned Liquefied Natural Gas terminal on the Shannon. Construction of it will mean Ireland will fail to meet its Climate Change commitments and will instead be tied into pumping out additional Greenhouse Gases for decades.
As the LNG will come from the US it will includes fracked gas, a process banned in Ireland that releases three times as much of the very powerful Climate Change gas methane as conventional gas. [video]
William is working as part of Futureproof Clare (FB, Twitter) who are campaigning against Shannon LNG. The plant would be on the Shannon estuary at Ballylongford, in North Kerry.
Extinction Rebellion solidarity rally in Dublin
Date: Fri, 2018-11-23 17:00
Dublin saw a few 100 people gather last Saturday to take part in a rally in solidarity with Extinction Rebellion, the group which has recently emerged in Britian and which yesterday occupied 5 bridges across the Thames, blocking them for about 4 hours and resulting in large numbers of arrests. This act of Civil Disobediance is in the context of the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change report that says we have only a decade to reduce emmissions by about 45% in order to try and keep Climate Change down to a 1.5 degree centagrade increase in global tempertures. [video]
In Ireland we have a particular problem with the plan to construct a Liquid Natural Gas (LNG) terminal in the Shannon that would import Fracking gas from the United States and would result in considerable release of greenhouse gases for the next couple of decades, well past that UN deadline. Particularly in the short term the methane released is a very much stronger global warming gas than carbon dixode is, see tinyurl.com/climatemethane for more
