US and allies further isolated on Syria after French President Francois Hollande waits on UN report | Herald Sun

THE United States and its allies including Australia appeared further isolated on their stance over Syria with France overnight drawing back from conflict and now saying it will decide on action only after reading a UN inspectors report

Government plan to sell legal aid to G4S,Serco,Capita and Eddie Stobart foiled-BBC News - Legal aid U-turn over price competition plan

BBC News - Legal aid U-turn over price competition plan

 Plans to cut the legal aid bill by awarding contracts to the lowest bidder have been dropped, Justice Secretary Chris Grayling has announced.

In a Commons debate on Wednesday, Labour MP Karl Turner had warned: "The government's proposals for PCT will irrevocably damage the criminal justice system.
"PCT will inevitably lead to the market being dominated by the big multinationals, the usual suspects - G4S, Serco, Capita.
"And I fear many new entrants to the market who have absolutely no experience whatsoever in delivering criminal justice will dominate the market."
He warned it would no longer be viable for "small businesses, the expert businesses who have established their practices over a number of years" to "continue to exist".
Mr Turner concluded: "We will see the cornerstone of a civilised society reduced to a factory mentality where quantity will trump quality at each and every time."

 Probes from Khan al-Assal show chemicals used in the March 19 attack did not belong to standard Syrian army ammunition, and that the shell carrying the substance was similar to those made by a rebel fighter group, the Russian Foreign Ministry stated.

 The Shameful (and Recent) History of Chemical Weapons Abuses by the US Government

During this unsettling march to war with Syria, political leaders in the US have repeatedly stated that Syria has broken an agreement, put in place at the end of World War I, that chemical weapons are not to be used in warfare.  Some may be left believing that chemical weapons have been absent from the theatre of war between then and the Syrian attacks on August 21^st 2013.  This is not the case.  In fact, the US is the biggest abuser of chemical weapons on earth, deploying these weapons across the world right to the present day.

Fuel Poverty Action | a campaign group of the Climate Justice Collective

 
Over 60 people died everyday last winter because of cold homes while the big six energy companies doubled their profits..........making a killing innit

Fuel poverty: an escalating crisis
Over one in four UK households face an impossible choice between heating and eating in the winter.
Deaths from hypothermia have doubled in the past five years, while World Health Organisation estimates show that there were over 7000 deaths from cold homes last winter.
In one of the wealthiest countries in the world, millions cannot afford to heat their homes to a safe level of warmth. This is a national scandal.
Those hit hardest are those living the most precarious lives, including pensioners, disabled people, people with illnesses, students, single mothers and others on low incomes.
While we’re left to freeze in our homes, the profits of the Big Six energy companies – British Gas (Centrica), EDF, E.ON, Npower, Scottish Power and SSE – have soared to record highs. The Big Six cartel are making a killing from a price-fixed energy market rigged in their favour.

We support actions to defend our health services, welfare, education and employment, and to stop wars and arms dealing.

We want structural change towards authentic global equality. The world’s resources must go towards caring for people and the planet, not the military, corporate profits or the rich.

Sabotaging the Badger Cull Activists flood the Somerset cull zone as guns start firing SchNEWS - Direct Action Newsheet

Sabotaging the Badger Cull

Activists flood the Somerset cull zone as guns start firing

The shooting of badgers in Somerset has started this week. The cull is aiming to kill over 70% of the badger population in the area in a misguided attempt to stop tuberculosis (TB) in cattle. The TB problem is mainly down to poor farming practices and inbreeding of the cows, (see Schnews 836) but some would rather scapegoat badgers. Gloucestershire has not started their cull yet, but may do next week.

There has always been huge public opposition to killing badgers and the start of the shooting has seen some of those people taking direct action. As soon as the marksmen started shooting, there were people sabotaging it. Stop the Cull reported the first incident on Tuesday night in the Stogumber area when people heard shots and then some people made enough noise to send the badgers safe underground. The shooting stopped. Since then, there seem to have been problems for the marksmen every time badger friendly people find them. Finding them is a bit tricky, which is why more people are needed to help.

The police have been accompanying the Somerset Badger Group on nightly walks from Williton, all in hi-vis, walking the roads and rights of way in the area. They have been a little less successful at keeping track of the hunt saboteurs and assorted others moving about and more blatantly interfering with the shooting using bright torches and noise. Maybe the poor coppers have other things on their minds, since the audacious ‘Angry Foxes Cell ’ set fire to their Firearms Training Unit in Portishead. (That’s probably a whole other article.) The injunction the NFU took out to try to prevent people stopping the cull has proved pretty irrelevant on the ground, with no use of it reported.

There is a Badger Camp set up near Ash Priors village, about six and a half miles NW of Taunton. This is on the edge of the cull zone, providing camping space, vegan food, networking and training for those coming to stop the cull. To find out more join this facebook group https://www.facebook.com/groups/campbadger/ There’s also a facebook thing to share lifts to the zone: https://www.facebook.com/groups/badgerliftshare

If you prefer not to have a multinational corporation spying on you whilst organising your vaguely illegal activity, you can phone Somerset Badger Group 07425 071 510 or for Gloucester Office 01386 761455 or Gloucester Field Phone 07891639803. Or if you’re coming from South East England you can call Brighton group on 07415 619160. You could find your local hunt sab group at  http://hsa.enviroweb.org/index.php/get-involved/localgroups

You don’t need any special skills or superpowers, just some practical clothing, food, water, and a torch. Read up on the shooting method here, so you know what to look for.

BBC News - Balcombe protests: Fracking row village sees fresh plan

 Oil drilling will cease in a village at the centre of an anti-fracking campaign by the end of September, but further testing could take place under new plans by energy firm Cuadrilla.

Protests were staged in Balcombe over fears test drilling for oil could lead to hydraulic fracturing, or fracking.
Drilling will end by 28 September under planning conditions set out in 2010.
But Cuadrilla said it would make a fresh application by the end of the month to carry out further well tests.

Frack Free Sussex Cuadrilla have withdrawn 2 applications pertaining to their Balcombe site

(101) Frack Free Sussex

Cuadrilla have withdrawn 2 applications pertaining to their Balcombe site, but be ye not lulled, they are regrouping.
They've been caught out on technicalities/legalities because of the extra scrutiny we've collectively forced and the searchlight that's been shone on their reprehensible attempts to get away with all sorts, but the euphemisms on what constitutes fracking are still being manipulated and they are reapplying.
They may even hope to restart in the winter when they think noone will be prepared to camp out. Even if they decide that Balcombe is too much like hard work because of the huge local resistance .. they have designs on plenty other places .. and the BPs and Exxons are not far behind them.

Stop The Arms Fair

Stop The Arms Fair

Take action! from 1-13th september

See what’s planned for the week of action.
A massive arms fair is planned to take place in the UK in September 2013. The arms fair welcomes:

• The world’s worst human rights abusing regimes
• The Russian arms suppliers to Syrian President Assad
• The companies supplying teargas used in Turkey, Brazil and Bahrain
• Israeli companies displaying “battle-tested” weapons

The US and UK will seek the next generation of weapons for their wars, while the arms companies aim to set the agenda for more exorbitant military spending.
The arms fair brings together 28,000 international buyers and sellers. The deals that begin here fuel the arms trade the world over. Death, injury, fear and repression are exported from the arms companies on our doorstep.

We can make a difference

When the fair took place in 2011, we challenged the opening night arms dealers’ reception at the National Gallery. One year later we put an end to an arms company’s sponsorship of the National Gallery.

Most intresting quote from the article 
"Erdogan also openly supports the terrorist Al-Nusrah Front despite Sarin being found in the home of one of their members in Turkey, further exposing the Western narrative."

So the Rebels in turkey found with Sarin chemical weapon, but who supplied them with it..........get on it Sherlock

Burghfield blockaded during International Nuclear Disarmament Summer Camp - UK Indymedia

The Action AWE and Trident Ploughshares Burghfield Summer International Disarmament Camp continues until 7 September. Today, in a joint action with European anti-militarists, the site has been blockaded since early morning.


BACKGROUND
The Government has begun preparations for the replacement of the Trident nuclear weapons system. Without a debate in Parliament, and in the context of savage spending cuts on public services, the Government has committed to spending up to £100 billion on an illegal weapon of mass destruction that even senior military officers have described as 'useless'.
The nuclear warheads are designed, assembled and maintained at two sites not far outside Reading - AWE Aldermaston and AWE Burghfield. It is here that people opposed to the continued existence of Trident will gather for two weeks of nonviolent disarmament actions.

U.N. Says Likely Rebels Used Chemical Weapons NOT Syrian Government!

This BBC report from May 2013 UN says the Rebels likely used chemical weapons.
Russias president Putin also raises the question today ,why would the regime use chemical weapons ,when it has the military advantage at the moment and knows that it would bring massive wetern retaliation.
This is part of a long plan to dominate or invade up to 7 countries in the middle east.
False flag operations propaganda and lies have been used for many years to start unpopular wars,causing misery and vast profits for the bankers and corporations of the military industrial complex.
Non violent direct action,civil disobedience and blockades of key places are the best way to stop the war machine ,take action in your area,Reclaim the Power,People have the Power.Keep networking.

Beating the Bailiffs - UK Indymedia

  STANDING TOGETHER, WE CAN WIN!
 In Britain today the Coalition Government and local councils are waging a war on the poor.  It was the boundless greed of the bankers and financiers which created the financial crisis yet ordinary people are being forced to pay the massive debts run up by these parasites.  We are being asked to pay more Council Tax while vital local services are being ruthlessly slashed.  At the same time the millionaire bankers go on taking their multi-million pound salaries and bonuses. 
 Twenty odd years ago the Government introduced the notorious, unfair Poll Tax.  Millions of people refused to pay up. Councils tried to use the courts and bailiffs against the refuseniks but there were too many cases so the system clogged up. The Government had to abandon the Poll Tax.  We can do the same again.  The more of us who don't pay the harder it will be to persecute us.  People who can afford to pay Council Tax should not do so in solidarity with people being pushed below the poverty line.
CAN'T PAY, WON'T PAY!

Resist the attack on Syria - Smash the arms trade - demonstrate 3rd Sept at EDO

DEMONSTRATE Tues 3rd September - 4-6pm, EDO Arms Factory, Home Farm Rd, Brighton

Resist the attack on Syria > No to imperialist wars and the companies that profit from them
Stop the arms fair

Cameron and his cronies are pushing hard for an attack on Syria. This isn't because of any genuine concern for the victims of Assad's regime or support for freedom for the Syrian people. Instead the reason for the involvement of the UK and its allies is a cynical desire to exert greater. control over the region. An attack will have disastrous consequences for the people of Syria and beyond. Some of the weapons used by UK forces will be supplied by the EDO factory.

From September 9th the world's largest arms fair will be taking place in London. Representatives of EDO will be peddling their wares to dictators and despots from all over the world.

Come and show your anger outside the EDO factory. Bring pots and pans to make yourself heard. The best way to support the struggles for freedom from oppression and imperialism being waged globally is to target those who supply the means of oppression.

Tell Your MP To Oppose Attack On Syria

bristol | peace | announcement Thursday August 29, 2013 12:54 by info@bristolstopwar

The next few days are crucial in trying to prevent Britain taking part in an attack on Syria. One worthwhile tactic is to pressurise MPs to vote against any attack. Today's vote in the House of Commons is likely to be followed by another one early next week. A large vote (or even a majority) against an attack will help deny Cameron the cloak of legitimacy that he craves.
You can easily send a message to your MP via the Stop The War website at http://act.stopwar.org.uk/lobby/57

Stop The War protest in Whitehall turns to civil disobedience – report & pics - UK Indymedia

While ‘Stop The War’ glitterati continued their speeches at the planned ‘Don’t Attack Syria’ protest this evening in Whitehall, a large part of the crowd took matters into their own hands and blocked the rush-hour traffic for over an hour, seizing the road outside Downing Street in an act of civil disobedience leading to just one arrest. ( Full article link above)

Phoenix says if we want to stop the false flag war mongers and bankers in their ILLEGAL wars of control and domination, then we need direct action and civil disobedience on a mass scale.

We have seen with the Iraq war how A_B marches by millions of people and the majority opposing the wars, our corporate controlled democracies will press ahead with illegal wars anyway to make the vast profits for their corporate masters.
So don't wait for the main official demos ( network and support them as well) but form affinity groups of friends and concerned citizens for peace in your area and take action.
Reclaim the streets,blockade and barricade key points of the war machine and the city that controls it.
Reclaim the streets Reclaim the power. Now is the moment of power the war mongers are wavering as they feel the mass of public opinion shifting against this war.That claims humanitarian principle,s yet will indiscriminately slaughter men women and children with their  not accurate smart bombs fired on civilian areas.
Take action keep networking see you on the streets.

The Subterfuge of Syrian Chemical Weapons - UK Indymedia

The Subterfuge of Syrian Chemical Weapons - UK Indymedia

...Some times before the military industrial banking complex starts these wars we get to glimpse the lies behind the media spin.For those who search the alternative and social media, many glimpses are seen of the lies and propaganda.
How many times will we fall for this set up,where were the weapons of mass destruction in Iraq.

To attack with a war off aggression, another sovereign nation is against International law.

There is no justification in International law.they claim humanitarian intervention a precedent has been set since Kosovo,yet the UN did not give any resolution to go in ,the decision was made by NATO.

I was shocked to hear recently that the fascist regime of Hitlers Nazis claimed it was a humanitarian Intervention in Poland,also Mussolini claimed humanitarian intervention in Abyssinia.

Interesting quotes from the linked Indymedia article .

. "The fact that this UN mission is in Syria in response to an official request sent by the Syrian government to the UN Security Council on March 19, 2013 to investigate the first chemical attack, which was launched then from the positions of the U.S. – sponsored armed gangs fighting the Syrian regime on the government – held northern town of Khan al_A’ssal, as well as the fact that the U.S. for five months opposed such an investigation unless the UN adopts it as an “inspection” mission all over Syria, are self – evident enough facts to leave no doubt about the real intentions of the United States."

"
In view of the Syrian government’s confirmation of the use of chemical weapons, Kerry’s statement on Monday that it “is real, that chemical weapons were used in Syria,” and the confirmation of their use by the Syrian so called “opposition” and its western and Arab sponsors, their use is already a forgone conclusion.

Is it not surprising and a waste of time then to send the UN independent commission of inquiry to investigate a forgone conclusion that all parties take for granted as a fact!

Kerry quoted Ban Ki - moon as saying last week that “the U.N. investigation will not determine who used these chemical weapons, only whether such weapons were used.”

If the investigators’ mandate is only to confirm what is already “is undeniable,” in Kerry’s words, why were the UN investigators stripped of the mandate of determining “who” used the chemical weapons in Syria, if not to leave it up to the U.S. & partners to decide in advance as a prejudged conclusion that “There's no doubt who is responsible: The Syrian regime,” according to Vice President Joe Biden on Wednesday, to be consistent with their plans for a regime change in Damascus, and let the truth go to hell."

Strike against Assad regime stalled by British political rows | World news | The Guardian

Strike against Assad regime stalled by British political rows | World news | The Guardian

 
Allied air strikes against the Syrian government over the alleged use of chemical weapons could be delayed until next week in the face of strong opposition in the UK parliament to British involvement in immediate military action.
The British prime minister, David Cameron, conceded that MPs would be given a second vote to approve military action to defuse a parliamentary revolt, ahead of a Commons debate on Syria on Thursday. Whitehall sources indicated that the US, which had planned to launch the strikes by the weekend, is prepared to revive a back-up plan to delay the strikes until Tuesday when Barack Obama is due to set out for the G20 summit in Russia.
Such a move by the Obama administration would effectively hand Cameron a political lifeline after the opposition Labour party threatened to inflict a defeat on the Conservative-led coalition in parliament.

Interview with anti-DSEI activist - Grassroots Takeover - mp3 41M

Interview with anti-DSEI activist - Grassroots Takeover - mp3 41M

In 2011 all across the world people took to the streets in from Greece to Spain from Egypt to New York. These uprisings where the first glimpse of a global movement against political and economic injustice. In 2013 the movement continues and has spread to Turkey and Brazil where people face brutal state repression.
Many of the weapons being used against the people in these countries are made by British companies, and sold with the support of the UK government, in a trade subsidised by the taxpayer. All of this in the midst of devastating cuts to public services in the UK.

This September international weapons companies will be meeting warmongers and human rights abusers at one of the world’s largest arms fairs to make the deals that will send deadly weapons around the world to repress the 99%. From the tear gas in Turkey, Egypt and Brazil to the weapons of the Syrian Assad Regime the DSEI Arms Fair is a global showroom of bloodshed and profit.

Come and create a mass action against the arms fair in solidarity with the international struggles for justice.

When?
Sunday, September the 8th 12noon

Where?
Near the Excel Centre, which hosts the arms fair.
The meeting point will be announced on Saturday 7th September at 12 noon in the following places:

ACAB take over Canton Police Station in Cardiff - UK Indymedia

ACAB take over Canton Police Station in Cardiff - UK Indymedia

In the early hours of Sunday morning, we entered and occupied Canton Police Station. We did not ask for permission, as it is our legal right to do so. Given Cardiff Police abandoned the building over a year ago, kindly leaving twelve different open windows for us to choose our entrance from, permission seemed a bit of a formality anyway.

We squat because we believe that corporations and landlords have no right to hold property empty for their own profit while people less lucky are homeless, that people should not have to sell their freedom to employers or jump through government hoops to put a roof over their heads, and that the police should not be allowed to act as hired muscle for the rich and powerful, consistently ignoring, abusing and outright breaking the law to maintain the interests of the ruling classes.

We are squatting here to show our disgust at the way the police use their power to oppress others for their own ends. Since the murder of Lynette White shone a light on the corruption of Cardiff Police, the people of Cardiff have seen for themselves that the police don't protect the public only themselves: while innocent people lost years of their lives in prison, the three cops who set them up - to protect the real murderer - walked free, pardoned by the IPCC in a move that made it clear just who the police care about. We squat here to show Cardiff Police not everyone is afraid.

To have a home is a basic right, not a commodity to be exploited as a resource by landlords for money and by the state to keep us in our place. Taking the building we act as individuals in a community we have made for ourselves, showing our defiance of the culture of fear the police maintain, and our will to resist oppression and support ourselves and on another.

Friern Barnet Library Update... a return visit

Filmed this the other day we popped in to see how the old library was doing, its ticking along with local voluntary support.New shelves and kids area is good.
But the council has still not delivered the 3 computers they offered 6 months ago, we still running on our 2 recycled machines.But we have broadband,rather than the wi fi phone system we operated during the occupation.
The lease is virtually signed for 2 years ,with one last confirmation needed on some insurance liability.
its been 6 months to get the lease signed,now we see how fast councils move (not).

Apparently the council is willing to give a slightly longer lease so we can get more grants.There has been a petition started to encourage them to hurry up and give a longer lease.
I just spent an hour on skype chatting to a library and occupation researcher for their PHD.

May put some of the transcript into the book we are writing.Launch date September 5th at the Liberated library.There is still 250 libraries in the UK to be closed or downgraded to voluntary.
Support your local library and services, occupy where necessary, love n resistance Phoenix

Squatting ≠ Aggravated Trespass

Posted on June 21, 2013 by squatterslegalnetwork

We have recently been made aware of at least three incidents in which occupied buildings were attended by cops who threatened the occupants with arrest and charges of Aggravated Trespass unless they vacate the building.

In most squatting cases, like these three, squatters are not committing Aggravated Trespass. Cops accusing them of committing the offence is tactic that is used against squatters to bully them out of their homes, so we need to be arguing more effectively why the Aggravated Trespass offence does NOT apply to us, and not get threatened out of our buildings. Seeing as bad things always come in threes we thought that it might be useful to take a look at the legislation.

One presentation claims the XKeyscore program covers 'nearly everything a typical user does on the internet'

A top secret National Security Agency program allows analysts to search with no prior authorization through vast databases containing emails, online chats and the browsing histories of millions of individuals, according to documents provided by whistleblower Edward Snowden.
The NSA boasts in training materials that the program, called XKeyscore, is its "widest-reaching" system for developing intelligence from the internet.
The latest revelations will add to the intense public and congressional debate around the extent of NSA surveillance programs. They come as senior intelligence officials testify to the Senate judiciary committee on Wednesday, releasing classified documents in response to the Guardian's earlier stories on bulk collection of phone records and Fisa surveillance court oversight.
