Film Show, Glasgow And Edinburgh.

From Global Justice Now:

        This month, the inspirational Take One Action film festival returns to cinemas in Glasgow and Edinburgh. Now in its eighth year, the Take One Action Film Festival promises some of the most inspiring new international films, plus debates and opportunities for change for a better world.
       This year, we’re supporting screenings of the film Tigers, a moving thriller and real-life David and Goliath story about what happens when a young salesman working for a multi-national pharmaceutical company realises the impact of what he's selling and decides that it's time to take on the company, and the system.
      The screenings are on Saturday 19 September at the Edinburgh Filmhouse and Sunday 20 September at the Glasgow Film Theatre. Both screenings will be followed by panel and audience discussion as well as ideas and opportunities to take action or get involved locally.

Hope to see you there!
Best wishes

HOW MUCH WILL WE LOSE BEFORE WE FIGHT?

           One reason I go on about the plight of the Greek people is because I don't see it as a unique set of circumstances. I tend to see Greece as a forerunner of what is about to happen to more European countries as the financial Mafia try to make up their gambling losses by plundering the public assets of country after country. Their policy of paying off debt with debt and getting the taxpayer to take care of the “deficit” is bound to end in disaster. What we should be doing is organising to take control of the crumbling capitalist edifice before the financial Mafia can re-group and start their casino all over again. Now is the perfect opportunity to organise to shape society the way we want it to be, one that sees to the needs of all our people. Occupations and people's assemblies must play a large part in our strategies. Organising in the community to circumvent and undermine the rules of their game of greed and exploitation. Hopefully that anger will make its self apparent long before we reach the situation in which the Greek people find themselves. In Greece they are now running out of medicines, people are finding it increasingly difficult to get medication for serious health problems from cancer to mental health problems. The usual capitalist compassion rules, the pharmaceutical companies are demanding payment up-front before they will ship any medication to Greece. Anger will grow, people will be looking for answers, and if our answers are not on the table, then they will pick up what is there. The state is preparing for public unrest, they expect trouble as they slash at the living standards of the people at the behest of their masters the financial Mafia. We either accept the situation where we watch our friends and relatives die a slow death from the lack of available treatment or we take control of the situation. Society doesn't have to be modeled on the capitalist greed plan. There are alternatives based on co-operation, and justice. We can build a society where we take care of all our people, we have the resources, the ability and the imagination, all we need is the will to come together and start the demolition job, then build that better world.
