New law to give cops blanket dispersal powers
Another year – another crackdown on civil liberties. The appallingly derivativley named Crime and Anti-Social Behaviour Bill (somebody at the Home Office must have a bit of imagination surely?) proposes that the police be given the power to clear areas of people they “reasonably suspect” are engaged in conduct that contributes to “ members of the public in the locality being harassed, alarmed or distressed”.(100) Balcombe fracking camp continues - join us! #fracking #balcombe

The protests goes on. But wherever you are, show your solidarity for those fighting fracking in this tiny Sussex village and get to Balcombe.

25/7/13 - More than 40 people remain onsite tonight, now bedding down for the night. If you're planning on going tomorrow then the earlier the better. Cuadrilla's trucks arrived at 7am this morning; likely they'll do the same again, so the people onsite will need your support as early as possible.
Meanwhile, the camp has produced a list of stuff they need: if you can help, they'd be very grateful.

From Yesterday - Work halted as activists block entrance to Sussex fracking site
Work has come to a standstill at Fracking company Cuadrilla Resource's site in Balcombe, Sussex. As of 7.30am, activists blockading the road leading to the company's site have denied entrance to articulated trucks and work vehicles.
15 articulated vehicles are expected at 10am this morning, with tail-backs already visible in the village.
The protest was organised under he name of The Great Gas Gala! and was called in response to an announcement from the Environment Agency and West Sussex County Council that Cuadrilla would start drilling as soon as Saturday[1].
Alex Griffiths, one of those taking part in the blockade, said
'People are realising that if we are going to protect ourselves from this industry we are going to have to do it ourselves. After 5000 signatures on petitions and nearly a thousand objections being sent to the Environment Agency work is still going ahead'.
She continued,
'We have tried other methods. We now have no choice but to take matters into our own hands and protect ourselves from the threat fracking poses to our health and environment'.

Heathrow is resisting the expansion of the airport. Meanwhile the
transition town is also flourishing providing solutions towards the
world’s energy and food problems. It is a working example, applying
horizontal community organisation using consensus, amongst many other
visions, plans and projects. But to keep focused, this article will
explore some practical tips and ideas growing out of Heathrow.
Grow Heathrow has transformed an ex-market garden, which it squatted in 2010. As part of the community of Sipson village, it stands against the expansion of the airport with its proposals for a third runway. The site welcomes visitors every day, which is the best way to see how much energy, creativity and inspiration. With their ambitious plans and innovative skills it is inspiring to consider where they will be in a further 3 years.

House Narrowly Defeats Measure to Curb NSA Spying
House Narrowly Defeats Measure to Curb NSA Spying
The final vote was 217 to 205, closer than expected. On the eve of the vote, the Obama administration deployed a lobbying effort to reject the bill, sending NSA director Keith Alexander to meet with lawmakers. In a separate vote, the House also rejected a measure that would have blocked funding for perpetual war under the 2001 act authorizing the so-called war on terror.
This is a major push back against the virtual unlimited funds being given to the military industrial complex post 911.

Cuadrilla have temporary planning permission to drill at site in
Balcombe. Permission expires in September and drilling will take at
least 6 weeks so any significant delays could scupper their plans. They
are exploring for tight (shale) oil, and the Kimmerage Clay shale layer
they are targeting is similar to the Bakken Shale in North Dakota. Full
scale production would involve thousands of wells, pipelines and
compressor stations coating the Sussex countryside. This is before you
get to water contamination, air pollution and accelerating climate
change. See

Grow Heathrow is recruiting! At the heart of resistance to the third runway in the village of Sipson, lies Grow Heathrow.
Grow Heathrow is recruiting!
At the heart of resistance to the third runway in the village of Sipson, lies Grow Heathrow. Here an alternative to the cancerous growth of tarmac and pollution is lived everyday. Each subversive seed planted by these guerilla gardeners inoculates the community and land against certain death. Each relationship established builds bridges of hope for life. Each heart that falls in love with the land is connected to a body willing to defend it.
Amidst fresh proposals for a third and fourth runway, Grow Heathrow is under threat of eviction. We’re looking for bold spirits to occupy Grow Heathrow during the busy summer months. Some areas of land are not under threat of eviction and we need help to develop these as our defensive base.
Whether it’s for a few days, a few weeks or a few months, your presence is welcome.
We have restored three 40m long greenhouses where we grow vegetables, run workshops and host open days. We harness energy from two homemade wind turbines and some solar panels, have bicycle, metal and wood workshops, as well as a yurt and a straw bale house. And we’re organising with local residents to transform the Heathrow Villages into a radical self-sufficient community.
We can share skills in the following areas:
◦ Organic food growing and permaculture design
◦ Sustainable building
◦ Off-grid energy production
◦ Media and communications
◦ Website/graphic design
◦ Accounting/book keeping
◦ Metal/wood work
◦ Bicycle mechanics
◦ Running social enterprises/co-operatives
◦ Fundraising
Spread the word and email us at info@transitionheathrow.com to let us know when you’re thinking of coming. For more information, go to our website www.transitionheathrow.com.
You can find us at Grow Heathrow, Vineries Close, Sipson, London UB7 0JG. Travel to West Drayton in TfL zone 6 in 20 minutes by train from Paddington, 30 minutes from Reading or Oxford. Go to www.transitionheathrow.com/directions for more details.

LEGION ON THE RISE A short briefing on the upcoming Operation Vendetta called by Anonymous hacktivists. SchNEWS - Direct Action Newsheet

Published on 3rd July 2013 | Part of Issue 846 | Print Friendly Version
LEGION ON THE RISE
A short briefing on the upcoming Operation Vendetta called by Anonymous hacktivists.
Anonymous UK, as part of operation Vendetta, have planned to do a “Million Mask March” on November the 5th 2013 to Parliament from Trafalgar square starting at 6 pm.
If London is not your cup of tea there are plenty of other locations to
choose from, where other Million Mask Marches will be starting at the
same time and date. You can pick from Nebraska, New Jersey, Washington,
California, India, Colardo, Melbourne, Massachusetts, Bulgaria,
Adelaide, Romania and Hong Kong. The aim of this demonstration is to
re-unite all Anonymous activists and spark the movement back into action
against the persecution of internet freedom. The demonstration is
against government censorship and tyranny.
The hacktivist group have called for a silent march to build up the
suspense en route but it remains to be seen how the cookie will crumble
during the event. According to online announcements the dead air will be
broken with none other than the 1812 Overture and other pretty little
ditties to really get the party going for as long as possible. “It is
the target of Anonymous in 2013 to evolve the old traditional idea of
protesting into the new. Anonymous have changed the rules, by turning
this 'new tradition' of petition into more of a festival of ideas,
performance art and symbolic new age discussion that has formed the
political views of the youth of today.”
For more information on the demo check here and you can also keep updated and follow events on their facebook and twitter.
We are Anonymous
We are Legion
We do not Forgive
We do not Forget

Come to share your ideas. Create, imagine, resist. We are facing climate crisis, economic crisis and social crisis. Join us to Reclaim the Power!
The Reclaim the Power Camp will be the culmination of months
of hard work and preparation from a team of determined and dedicated
volunteers. We are striving to create a beautiful space that will be
empowering to all who want to seek solutions and take action on the
social, economic, and climate crises. All should feel able to
participate regardless of age, disability, or previous activist
experience.
This article aims to tell you a little bit more about what to expect what you take part in Reclaim the Power; it will be updated as our preparations continue to take shape. You can also follow the latest developments on Facebook and Twitter.
The camp will be organised into four villages; these will be mini-communities where you can pitch your tents, eat, and socialise. Villages will hold daily morning meetings where important information will be shared and any necessary decisions taken. All camp meetings will run through an open, inclusive, and participatory process known as consensus decision making; this seeks to ensure all voices our heard and everyone is happy with meeting outcomes.
Besides the village structure there is a range of other resources for participants to both make use of and contribute to making happen:
Things to bring: tent, sleeping bag, warm clothes, toothbrush/paste, loo roll, sunblock, waterproofs, a torch, and a desire to change the world.
Things not to bring: food (no need), dogs (except from support dogs which are more than welcome), knives (unwise), and belief that nothing can change.
We already know groups such as UK Uncut, Platform, the UK Tar Sands Network, and Disabled People Against the Cuts will be contributing to this day; more groups will be announced in the coming weeks via our Twitter and Facebook page.
In addition to issue-based workshops, there will also be a range of practical workshops. These will include consensus decision making, digital campaigning, media messaging, building a protest camp, and direct action.
Of course, it’s not all super serious; the evenings (except the night before the action) will see broad range of music, comedy, and opportunities to let your hair down and dance! Acts will be announced in the coming weeks.
There will be a part to play for everyone, whether you wish to take direct action or take on one of many supporting responsibilities.
At present, action preparations are still taking shape. However, it promises to take a clear challenge the dangerous new dash for gas and the wider culture of corporate power.
More information coming soon!
This article aims to tell you a little bit more about what to expect what you take part in Reclaim the Power; it will be updated as our preparations continue to take shape. You can also follow the latest developments on Facebook and Twitter.
Camp life
Many individuals are currently hard at work to ensure that, come Friday 16th August, a field in Nottinghamshire will have been transformed into safe and accessible temporary community where all can meet likeminded people, discuss the issues, and prepare for action. Once there, it will be up to everyone who attends to get stuck in and help sustain the camp; you don’t need to bring any skills, just bring your energy and enthusiasm!The camp will be organised into four villages; these will be mini-communities where you can pitch your tents, eat, and socialise. Villages will hold daily morning meetings where important information will be shared and any necessary decisions taken. All camp meetings will run through an open, inclusive, and participatory process known as consensus decision making; this seeks to ensure all voices our heard and everyone is happy with meeting outcomes.
Besides the village structure there is a range of other resources for participants to both make use of and contribute to making happen:
- The Welcome Tent: providing you with a smile, camp booklet, and the knowledge of where to go. The welcome tent will also be the go-to point for any queries that may pop up.
- Kitchens: preparing delicious and energising vegan meals throughout the camp’s duration. You don’t need to bring your own food; just come ready to chop some vegetables and wash up!
- The Kids’ Space: activities and adventures to ensure our youngest participants are able to make the most of their time at the camp (and so are their parents or carers).
- Legal Support: on hand to offer legal advice prior to the action, arrest support during the action, and also to ensure all police activity is comprehensively monitored.
- Wellbeing: providing a space to go for all who feel they require some time-out from the sometimes hectic nature of an action camp.
- Tranquillity: dealing with any conflicts that may arise across the site and supporting everyone in sticking to the safer spaces policy.
- Medics: providing first aid if required.
Things to bring: tent, sleeping bag, warm clothes, toothbrush/paste, loo roll, sunblock, waterproofs, a torch, and a desire to change the world.
Things not to bring: food (no need), dogs (except from support dogs which are more than welcome), knives (unwise), and belief that nothing can change.
Popular education
One of the most exciting things about Reclaim the Power is the diverse range of groups and individuals we know to be coming. This provides a fantastic opportunity for the sharing of experience to enable us to join to dots between social, environmental, and economic injustice. Our popular education programme will take place on Saturday 17th August. It will see an extensive range of workshops leading into a whole-camp evening gathering to synthesise the day’s learning. The workshops will cover a full range of interrelated subjects; Extreme Energy, The Cuts, Privilege, and Just Transition are just a small sample from our programme.We already know groups such as UK Uncut, Platform, the UK Tar Sands Network, and Disabled People Against the Cuts will be contributing to this day; more groups will be announced in the coming weeks via our Twitter and Facebook page.
In addition to issue-based workshops, there will also be a range of practical workshops. These will include consensus decision making, digital campaigning, media messaging, building a protest camp, and direct action.
Of course, it’s not all super serious; the evenings (except the night before the action) will see broad range of music, comedy, and opportunities to let your hair down and dance! Acts will be announced in the coming weeks.
Mass action
Sunday 18th August will see the Camp prepare for mass action on the Monday; a full range of legal and practical support will be on hand to help people make decisions, find buddies, and train for whichever role they decide to take.There will be a part to play for everyone, whether you wish to take direct action or take on one of many supporting responsibilities.
At present, action preparations are still taking shape. However, it promises to take a clear challenge the dangerous new dash for gas and the wider culture of corporate power.
