Save Tamara from 16yrs..Solidaritat 14 Set.

traducciò Anglès..On September 14 the trial will begin our comrade Tamara. The State demands 16 years imprisonment under
the accusation of trying to assassinate the head of the prison services of the Government..Mr Batlle.
She is accused of sending a package with gunpowder to Battle, and was carried out as part of a campaign to fight for the release of the anarchist prisoner
Amadeu Caselles, at that time on hunger strike.He had endured over twenty years of condemnation being
especially punished for his work of reporting abuse, torture, and murder in the prison system run by the same
Mr. Batlle.
Tamara was arrested on 15 December at her home (Madrid) by members of the Guardia Civil in prison and
Catalonia for 4 months until a judge accepted a defense expert report proving that a purely
intimidating and non-lethal package was sent.
The trial continues against our colleague, in order to publicly punish the audacity of those who faced up to the
powerful’. The message is that people like the prosecution and Batlle have every right to cover up their crimes,
ruining the lives they want. Our message is that despite the threats and punishments, you will never have our complicit silence.
Do not let any single fighter be destroyed!
On 14 September..Lets take to the street against the killers

EN CATALÁ..El proper 14 de setembre començarà el judici contra la nostra companya Tamara. La petició fiscal és de 16 anys de presó, sota
l’acusació d’intentar assassinar el cap dels serveis penitenciaris de la Generalitat Albert Batlle.
L’acció que se li imputa és
l’enviament d’un paquet amb pólvora a en Batlle, i es va dur a terme en el marc d’una campanya de lluita per l’alliberament del pres
Amadeu Caselles, en aquell moment en vaga de fam. Aquest pres portava més de vint anys de condemna a les seves esquenes, sent
especialment castigat per la seva tasca de denúncia dels abusos, tortures, i assassinats inherents al sistema penitenciari dirigit pel
Sr Batlle.
La Tamara va ser detinguda el passat 15 de desembre a casa seva (Madrid) per membres de la Guàrdia Civil, i empresonada a
Catalunya durant 4 mesos, fins que un jutge va acceptar un informe pericial de la defensa que provava el caràcter merament
intimidatori i no-letal del paquet enviat.
El procés judicial contra la nostra companya continua, amb l’objectiu de castigar públicament l’atreviment de qui s’encara als
poderosos, de qui toca als ‘intocables’. El missatge de la fiscalia és que persones com en Batlle tenen tot el dret i la cobertura per
arruïnar les vides que vulguin. El nostre missatge és que malgrat els càstigs i les amenaces, mai tindràn el nostre silenci còmplice.
No deixem sola a cap lluitadora perseguida
El 14 de setembre, al carrer contra els botxins

Save/Salvar Tipnis. Highway to Ethnocide and Ecocide

Various big demonstrations have taken place in support and unfortunately against the Indigenous marchers against the new highway, now under construction and backed by Evo Morales and his Govt. The new road will destroy the lives and culture of various indigenous nations,, as well as opening the Isiboro National Park and environs to rapid destruction, trashing a world renowned center of diversity, ‘the most beautiful jungle in the world’. The battle is not yet lost, however, and all support is welcome.

Marcha Masiva en Cochabamba

Con una primera marcha que recorrió las principales calles de la ciudad, la denominada Coordinadora de Defensa del Territorio Indígena del Parque Isiboro Sécure (Tipnis) expresó su apoyo público a los pueblos indígenas de las tierras bajas que marchan rumbo a La Paz desde el pasado 15 de agosto.

Disfrazados de animales salvajes y portando pancartas con consignas contrarias a la construcción de la carretera y de apoyo a la marcha indígena, la Coordinadora de grupos de voluntarios estudiantes de secundaria y universitarios, maestros urbanos, organizaciones vecinales, gente de a pie y agrupaciones de defensa del medioambiente, se concentró en la plaza principal para demandar respeto al parque, según comentó Juan Carlos Antezana, fundador de la Comunidad Inti Wara Yasi.

DEL OTRO LADO

Del otro lado, el denominado Comité Impulsor Interinstitucional, confirmó para este sábado, a las 10:00, a la altura del viaducto, kilómetro 3,5 de la avenida Blanco Galindo, una “concentración multitudinaria” de organizaciones e instituciones representativas de Cochabamba, en respaldo a la construcción del tramo II de la carretera Villa Tunari-San Ignacio de Moxos.

Dale Farm: Stop the eviction.. Sept 10th.

The most depressing thing this week has been the level of bile spewed about people at Dale Farm, now set for an eviction on September 10th. Unlike most, I’ve actually been there.

A few years back I travelled down to Basildon in Essex. I got in a taxi and asked to be taken to Dale Farm on Cray’s Hill. The court case was raging at the time, tensions were high in the local community and when we got to the end of the track up to the site, I was told “this is as far as I go.”

I don’t know what I was expecting as I walked up to the spit of land which has for many years been the focal point for some of the national presses’ worst bigotry and hatred. I’d only seen photos taken from afar, blurry shots by snappers eager to show the squalid conditions Those People were living in.

And in fairness, when I got there a lot of rubbish was lying around, in piles of black bin bags or drifting around the fences and hedgerows. Basildon Council doesn’t do rubbish clearing on illegal sites. But the actual plots? They ranged from the spotless to the scruffy – pretty much as you’d expect on any estate in Britain. There were a fair few dogs around as well, usually off the leash, but they were friendly and looked well-fed. And of course there were a lot of caravans.

But what might be surprising to the critics is the number of actual houses. Fully plumbed-in, connected homes built on land they paid for and set up in exactly the manner which has been touted as the “solution” to the Traveller “problem” since way back when.

Obama allows poison air massacre for Big Oil

note. posts on NH3 the CO2-Free fuel now have their own blog HERE.. http://co2freefuelexistsnow.wordpress.com/

If the 1-in-6 African-American kids with asthma could just hold their breath until 2013, they should be fine.

In his latest attack on the environment, President Barack Obama today announced that he is directing the EPA to withdraw standardsthat would have cut smog pollution from automobiles, power plants, and refineries. Obama might want to consider that wheezing kids, no jobs, and caving to Big Oil do not a reelection make.

The standards Obama blocked could have saved up to 120,000 lives by 2020, and slashed tens of thousands of children’s asthma attacks and other respiratory problems. The environmental justice organization Green for All summed it up when it tweeted (referring to Obama’s delaying action on ozone until at least 2013, when he may be out of office):

More broadly, by blocking the smog standards, Obama is jettisoning one of the few remaining major job creation programs he can create without Congress. Notwithstanding oil industry propaganda, the EPA’s analysis shows that the smog rules would have created a whopping $17 billion in economic benefits — everything from health care savings from avoided asthma attacks to job creation in American-made pollution controls.

Politicos prohíben acampadas y asambleas

4163_Prohibiciones — mad politicians ban everything

La nueva Ordenanza de Convivencia Ciudadana obliga a pedir autorización previa para dibujar en el suelo, cantar, bailar, tocar instrumentos, sacudir el mantel desde el balcón o regar los tiestos. No solo el PP pero también el PSOE votaron en favor. Hasta sacudir el mantel o la alfombra desde el balcón o regar los tiestos si el alcalde lo considera “molesto para los vecinos”. Asimismo, no se puede tomar vino en un parque, pelearse, gritar, “ni darse un masaje, jugar a las cartas o tumbarse en un banco

El municipio madrileño de Guadalix de la Sierra, de 2.500 habitantes y gobernado por el PP, se ha convertido en el primero del que se tenga noticia en España en cambiar sus ordenanzas para impedir la celebración de asambleas populares y acampadas de protesta en la calle tras la irrupción del Movimiento 15-M. No solo ambas actividades están desde hoy prohibidas en este pueblo de la sierra, famoso por acoger el rodaje de Bienvenido, Mister Marshall y la casa de Gran Hermano, sino que se invita a los vecinos a denunciar a quienes lo hagan. El texto contempla un amplio régimen de sanciones desde los 750 euros para infracciones leves, 1.500 para las graves y hasta 3.000 para las muy graves.

-“se prohíbe la práctica de juegos en el espacio público que por su naturaleza puedan causar molestias”, reza el texto, que en concreto pone fin a “acrobacias y juegos de habilidad con motos, bicicletas, patines o monopatines fuera de las áreas destinadas a tal efecto”-, dibujar en el suelo -“por tanto, se prohíbe la rayuela”-, hacer graffitis, colocar carteles o pegatinas, lanzar octavillas, cantar, bailar, tocar instrumentos… “.
