Research.
December seems to be a month when everybody gives everybody a gift, so we at Spirit of Revolt thought we would join in this custom. So for December, as our gift, we are giving you a second “Read of the Month”. We have chosen as our gift a bulletin from September 1989, Bulletin of Anarchist Research, No.18. Enjoy and perhaps learn and feel driven to delve into our wonderful Pandora’s Box of anarchist history, photos, memorabilia and much more.

Keelie.
Despite the usual Glasgow dull, cold, dreich, drizzly rain type of weather, the Glasgow Keelie folks were out today on the street doing their thing. They set up at the corner of Sauchiehall Street at the large, now closed BHS building. As usual the free Glasgow Keelie was well received, with a considerable number disappearing with passing Glesca Folks being eager to get their hands on a copy. Did you get one? if so how about letting us know what you think, or better if you would like to help with the distribution, just get in touch through The Glasgow Keelie webpage.

Anarchy.
Still not able to function fully because of the pandemic, Spirit of Revolt still try to reach our friends and supporters with little gems from the archive, hence "Read of the Month". Another month and another Spirit of Revolt offering of “Read of the Month”. For December we have chosen a serial well know in anarchist circles, but there are still those who may not have read the older issues. So here is Anarchy, A Journal of Desire Armed, Volume 14, No. 2, spring/summer, 1994.

On The Streets.
Friday 29 October 2021
Our Buses.
With inflation rising, energy prices soaring, national insurance increases, now more than ever public transport is an necessity for getting to work and getting around in our daily lives. So the cost of transport is another burden on the shoulders of those struggling to make ends meet. All the more reason to shout for public transport to be taken into public ownership with proper investment for a system run on a not for profit basis. why should our daily lives be burden with making a profit for a bunch of very rich shareholders.
An event that should be worth supporting:
Dear Get Glasgow Moving supporters,
COP26 is nearly upon us! Did you see the news that delegates are being given free multi-modal smartcards? Something we Glaswegians have been demanding for years.
This gives us even more reason to take to the streets! We're involved in organising several events and actions over the next two weeks to demand better public transport.
There are two we're particularly keen for you to attend:
Next Wednesday 3 November, 6:30pm we're holding our first in-person event since before the pandemic. Please come down and say hello:
Transforming Public Transport to Fight Climate Change
Wednesday 3 November 2021, 6:30-8pm
The Deep End, 21 Nithsdale Street, Glasgow, G41 2PZ

Cop-26.

On 6th November,
movements across the world are coming together to take action – from
indigenous struggles to trade unions, from racial justice groups to
youth strikers.
The Covid pandemic means that not everyone can travel to Glasgow. That is why on the 6th November, we’re calling for decentralised actions worldwide. Wherever you are in the world, you can help bring climate justice to COP26. |

September issue, No. 22, of the Glasgow Keelie is now available, you can read it on line here and as usual the team have thrown their critical eye over this cesspool we call a capitalist society and produced a host of interesting and informative articles. It is available on line but also watch for it on the streets of our fair city.

Cop-out.
However, three of the world's largest oil and gas polluters have in place plans to increase oil and gas production up until 2030. The UK is licencing for more more oil and gas drilling in the North Sea and is planning to build a third runway at Heathrow Airport to increase air traffic. Hardly a blueprint for cutting carbon emissions. The world's largest polluter, "The Pentagon" will not even be mentioned, to discuss this massive world polluter is off limits. The large polluting corporate world will promise to be more green but will still push to increase consumption to improve the economy, profit will always trump going green.
You and I will be told to change our lifestyle, take shorter showers, boil just a little water in your kettle, turn your thermostat down a degree or two, walk and cycle more. Meanwhile, the political ballerinas, CEO and corporate hangers on will sail their £150 million yacht, or fly their private jet to the Caribbean to check their off-shore tax haven bank accounts.
This is the truth of this Cop-Out-26 Carnival of illusions and slight of hand, grand standing promises and ideas with no back up of cash and no plans to put them into operation. Piecemeal titbits thrown in that direction, but the suicide path of this economic insanity we called capitalism will continue unless we the people decide we shall take control and bring this edifice of plunder and pillage and ecological disaster crumbling down. Let's organise outside the Cop-Out-26 carnival and relegate capitalism to a history story of humanities darkest hour.

Cop-out26.
The US military’s carbon bootprint is enormous. Like corporate supply chains, it relies upon an extensive global network of container ships, trucks, and cargo planes to supply its operations with everything from bombs to humanitarian aid and hydrocarbon fuels. Our new study calculated the contribution of this vast infrastructure to climate change.
Greenhouse gas emission accounting usually focuses on how much energy and fuel civilians use. But recent work, including our own, shows that the US military is one of the largest polluters in history, consuming more liquid fuels and emitting more climate-changing gases than most medium-sized countries. If the US military were a country, its fuel usage alone would make it the 47th largest emitter of greenhouse gases in the world, sitting between Peru and Portugal.
In 2017, the US military bought about 269,230 barrels of oil a day and emitted more than 25,000 kilotons of carbon dioxide by burning those fuels. The US Air Force purchased $4.9 billion worth of fuel, and the Navy $2.8 billion, followed by the Army at $947 million and the Marines at $36 million.
It’s no coincidence that US military emissions tend to be overlooked in climate change studies. It’s very difficult to get consistent data from the Pentagon and across US government departments. In fact, the United States insisted on an exemption for reporting military emissions in the 1997 Kyoto Protocol. This loophole was closed by the Paris Accord, but with the Trump administration due to withdraw from the accord in 2020, this gap will will return.
Roll on Cop-out 26, let's see what formula you produce to stop the impending man made climate disaster, and let's see how the various states follow through. Capitalism will trump climate change, unless we destroy capitalism, it will continue to destroy the planet and our existence on that planet. Just remember, Planet Earth has no escape capsule.
