BANKERS CRIME -- PEOPLE PAY.

         A simple explanation on why we have "austerity" in Europe. The bankers hymn that we the people have all been living beyond our means and now we have to pay, is probably the biggest lie every put across an entire continent and yet lots of people swallow the lie. Probably partly by confusion and partly by ignorance of the facts. That is why any discussion that highlights that lie is worth giving voice to as widely as possible.

SOMEONE'S GOLDEN DAWN FADES!!

This from Occupied London, it is no more than they deserve.

Patras: anarchists storm and trash the newly-opened offices of neo-nazi group ‘Golden Dawn’ in broad daylight

          The neo-nazi group ‘golden dawn’ (chrysi augi) is projected to enter the parliament for the first time in the upcoming elections. Ahead of these elections, the group has been trying to open offices across Greece and on Monday (March 12) they opened their office in the centre of the port city of Patras. In response, two days later anarchists marched to the building in broad daylight (should this be in golden dawn?) and trashed them, burning the neo-nazi propaganda inside, smashing up water pipes, doors and walls and throwing furniture out.

The video that follows is from local corporate media.

RIDDEN TO DEATH -- FOR CASH!!

             This week has seen 5 horses killed at one race course, Cheltenham. Of course the media portray the event as a fun affair, when in actual fact it is a cold blooded money making machine. Millions of pounds of cash passes through hands in bets, prize money, sponsorship and of course breeding and training fees for the winning stables. The horses are not treated as animals but as cash producers and if they don't produce the cash they are disposed of rapidly. The poor beasts are worked literally to death and the number that die in training is always swept under the carpet and referred to as an unfortunate accident. It isn't, it is the direct result of pushing the beast to their limit, in the hope of that cash flow coming to that particular stable. Deaths of race horses is far from the odd unfortunate accident it is part and parcel of a very cruel and brutal cash making industry. The number that die or are "put-down" during a race is a crime, these deaths are for no other reason other than to make some very rich people richer, the horse is just a disposable tool.

In a society where money governs everything you do, and controls your quality of life, everything is expendable, life and death are just events that alter the accountants balance sheet. In this society horse racing is not a sport, it is a lucrative industry controlled by big money, to make bigger money and so what if some horses die cruelly and painfully, to the bosses, it is no more than an inconvenience, there is always another poor beast ready to be thrown onto the conveyor belt.

This is just March and the number of race horses killed on the race course this year alone is horrifying. The list below is from HorseDeath Watch.

A WOMAN'S RIGHT TO OBEY!!!

           As the slaughter of the innocent goes on in Afghanistan we keep getting the same tired old lies, we are winning!! Winning what, in this war what does winning mean? Most politicians support the fiasco in that suffering land, but when you ask them why we are there you'll get as many different answers as politicians you ask. It is to make our streets safer, lie number 1. It is to bring democracy to Afghanistan, lie number 2. It is to get rid of the Taliban, lie number 3. It is to get rid of the opium trade, lie number 4, and so it goes on. However the biggest lie of all is probably that we are protecting and improving the rights of women. This surely ranks as the worst piece of double-speak, the cruellest lie of all, the finest political act of smoke and mirrors for centuries. The Western planted puppet President, Karzai, has more or less legalised rape in the hope of doing a deal with the Taliban when his NATO minders pull out. So much for women's rights.

EIGHTEEN HUNGRY CHILDREN - WHY!

       Every hour of every day 300 children die due to malnutrition, at the very start of their lives they are left so weakened by relentless hunger that they can't fight off illnesses like diarrhoea or pneumonia. Surviving malnutrition doesn't bring a full and healthy life, those children who survive, malnutrition suffer devastating and irreversible damage, stunted growth and bodies and brains that are permanently damaged.

     The problem isn't that the world is short of food, the food is there, but somewhere along the line some people have to make a profit. So the food won't move to the needy until the money changes hands. While a child is dying of malnutrition, we in the rich developed world run around shaking charity cans under the noses of all and sundry hoping that they will drop a few coins in the box and perhaps then we can start the food moving.

      What a barbaric inhuman system, shrink the picture, you know of a child down the road that is dying from malnutrition, what do you do? Run around trying to raise some money to buy some food from the supermarket? Any system that has an abundance of food and yet stands by waiting for the money to change hands before supplying children dying from malnutrition, is not fit for purpose.

         Capitalism is only there to serve the shareholders, the corporate world, everything is a commodity, even the life or death of a child. If companies can make a profit then the child will live, if not, sorry, you don't have enough money. Why do we allow ourselves to be dominated by these corporate fascist? We the ordinary people make everything, we transport and distribute everything, all we have to do is take control of what we make, where we transport it, and to whom we distribute the produce of our labours. We don't need them, they on the other hand do need us. Let's dump this brutal, unjust, inhumane, greed driven system in the dustbin of history. After all it is only a man made system it is not something written in tablets of stone or some immutable force of nature, it is a man made economic system of greed.

          The following is a poem that I penned some 20 years ago, in spite of all the pontification by our expensively suited, hypocritical politicians, the situation is no better today than it was then, probably worse. As long as we keep this system of capitalism dominating our lives the situation will never improve.

EIGHTEEN HUNGRY CHILDREN.

Eighteen hungry children die

every minute of every day

eighteen of tomorrow’s people

cruelly thrown away.

When pandering to a fashion

gratifying our greed,

think, theirs is no desire

but a basic need.

Envisage a familiar face

a child that calls your name,

try to be the parent

try to place the blame.

Eighteen hungry children die

every minute of every day,

eighteen little faces

that never learnt to play.

Walk past your local school

listen to the shrill,

stand and count to sixty

imagine hunger start to kill.

Fingers must be pointed

at decisions made on high,

questions must be asked

loudly asked by you and I.

Eighteen hungry children die

every minute of every day,

eighteen precious lives

the claws of hunger slay.

CORPORATE ATTACK ON THE NHS.

       As we all know, or should know, the millionaires at the Westminster House of Hypocrisy and Corruption are hell bent on turning the NHS into a cash cow for their friends in the corporate world. Turning it from a service at time of need, into a commercial concern where those with money will be able to buy the best treatment available and get it right away, where as the rest of us will have to take our place in the queue and take what is left. Health should never be considered as a money making enterprise, it must always be a service at time of need. However the corporate fascists see our Health Service as one massive market that they can milk, making billions from the sick and vulnerable. It is your child that way be dependent on it in some time in the future, what will you do if it isn't there?

This appeal from AVAAZ.

  

We have just days to save the NHS. Opposition from doctors, nurses and patients has rocked the government. Our massive outcry now can persuade undecided members of the House of Lords to say no to the bill on Monday and get the government to publish its report on the risks of these changes. Sign here to save the NHS:

         The battle to save the NHS is now entering its final hours. David Cameron and Andrew Lansley seem determined to drag Britain’s most famous institution to its grave, but if we now stand together we can get the House of Lords to stop this bill in its tracks.
       Public outrage is gripping the country as the Prime Minister persists with a bill that would dismantle the NHS and open the field to private companies. The government refuses to publish its internal report on the risks of the reforms, one reason among many why thousands of health professionals and many politicians oppose the changes. If we now build a massive outcry we can sway our last line of defence -- the House of Lords -- to save the NHS.
        Let’s call on the undecided members in the House of Lords to keep the knives off our NHS and ensure we can all read the official risk report -- sign here and circulate. Our voices will ramp up the pressure as we deliver our petition when we reach key milestones between now and Monday:

http://www.avaaz.org/en/last_chance_to_save_the_nhs/?vl

      The coalition promised no top-down reorganisation of the National Health Service. Yet it's brought in a bill that threatens to turn large chunks of the NHS over on a plate to private health care companies and cost-cutting consultants, threatening a tidal wave of privatisation that will leave our health system expensive and fragmented, with many of us getting only low-quality care. Citizens are outraged -- according to the latest polls, over half of us want the new bill to be scrapped.
         Public opposition has already delayed the bill and forced several amendments, but the government is refusing to halt the reforms, wrongly insisting that opponents are just a minority group of disgruntled health care professionals and political opponents. The fight for the NHS now depends on the 200 members of the House of Lords who don't belong to a political party. They aren't used to public scrutiny, so if we target them now, we can win and ensure that any reforms of our precious health service are done in concert with health professionals and patients.
           We only have until Monday to tip the balance. The recommendation to delay the debate until after the risk register has been released will throw the NHS a lifeline and allow us all to see the likely impact of this bill. Sign the petition, and send widely.

http://www.avaaz.org/en/last_chance_to_save_the_nhs/?vl

        Britain is proud of the NHS, which has saved countless lives and won admirers across the world. Let’s act now and ensure our health care system stays free for all.

With hope,

Sam, Antonia, Alex, Alice, Jamie, Ricken and the rest of the Avaaz team

WORLD WIDE CLASS WAR.

          I keep going on about how the struggle of the ordinary people in this world is not a national struggle, it is international. Our struggle is global, national governments are in the thrall of the financial barons of the corporate world. To create a better world for all our people we need to realise this factor and join hands and rebel in unison. It is by changing the system and not the party, leader, president, that will bring about justice for all. As far as national governments go, we have a kaleidoscope of political variations but all on the same theme, namely capitalism, and yet there is not a country on the face of this earth that has not got people on the streets protesting injustice. The system has failed and failed miserably, it can't be modify, it is an elitist system that keeps a small army of parasites in unbelievable luxury and the vast majority in poverty, or struggling to stay above the poverty level.

        I first saw this from Citypulse, on Teacher Dude's Grill and BBQ, it is dedicated to people who express themselves for a cause, however to me it also highlights the fact that the world is in turmoil, not because people want struggle and confrontation, but because the system isn't working for them and forces them to confront the cause of their unjust treatment. Capitalism is spouted as the only game in town, but there is a better way, there is an alternative, we can build a society based on the needs of all our people, one based on co-operation, mutual aid and sustainability, one free from the greed of the profit motive.

STUDENTS BOYCOTT LECTURES.

WINTER IN ATHENS.

         Hidden between cardboard boxes, wrapped in dirty blankets, numb and nearly frozen from the cold in recent days are the homeless people, who sleep in the streets of Athens. Low temperatures and cold winds have made many of them turn to the municipality that has provided sports halls and other premises where they can spend the nights. However, others preferred to remain in the street. Fear that someone else will take their place the next day if they leave it even for a night makes them stay there despite the cold.

THE MISERABLE ONES OF ATHENS

NO GODS NO MASTERS.

        It seems that the leopard hasn't changed its spots, the Catholic Church, as usual, is set on leaning hard on the victims of physical and sexual abuse by priests, in an attempt to protect the perpetrators of the abuse. This world wide organisation is riddled with paedophile abusers and has been for centuries. It is difficult to believe that for centuries priests have been abusing children and moving up through the ranks unpunished and yet those at the top claim innocence and ignorance of this vile corruption among their ranks. Over all those years of child abuse it is impossible to accept that some of the abusing paedophile priests didn't reach the highest of ranks, but still, pleading ignorance or blaming the victim is their stance. Their continual contesting of cases of abuse and forcing victims to take their humiliating treatment to the public venue of a court, rather than put their hands up and help these damaged individuals, is an utter travesty of what they preach. The sooner individuals turn away from these authoritarian myth based enslavement organisations the happier they'll be and the sooner we will see and end to the abuse they sow.

Catholic Church Files Case against Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests

     Attorneys representing the Roman Catholic Church and priests who have been charged in two Missouri sex abuse cases have filed a case in an effort to legally compel the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests (SNAP) to disclose its records from the past twenty-three years. The documents requested include correspondences with victims, witnesses, police officers, and lawyers. SNAP, a network of survivors of religious sexual abuse and their supporters, is neither a plaintiff nor a defendant in the case.

1,000 NEW ZEALAND LOCKOUT.

          It is not just in Europe that the corporate bully boys are flexing their muscles, it is world wide. In every country the corporate gaints are ripping up contracts, in doing so reducing wages and taking away conditions that have been fought for with blood, sweat and tears. Workers across the world have to show solidarity with each other, it is one big battle, a fight against world wide corporate fascism.

This from IUF:

      Talley’s/AFFCO has locked out 1,000 meat workers in an attempt to force them and their union, the New Zealand Meat Workers’ Union, to accept changes to their collective agreement - changes which will make it easy for the company to impose individual contracts on workers and thereby to set wages unilaterally. Changes which will eventually destroy the Core Collective Agreement now applicable to AFFCO’s 8 plants in New Zealand’s Northern Island. More...

A HIGH SCORE AT THE OFFICE TODAY??

     The march of the robotic war continues at a rapid pace, mostly unobserved in the West but we are the harbingers of the peopleless army. Most people tend to see CCTV cameras as a benign watch on criminals, but they are all part and parcel of the surveillance and control by a central authority and that authority spreads across the globe. the latest stage is the surveillance drones and their big brother, the killer drones.

      America has used drones to strike at and kill citizens in other countries, and since Obama came to power the use of drones as robotic assassins has grown enormously.  In Pakistan, Yemen, Somalia, the Obama administration is using drones to invade other nations sovereign territory and kill people by remote control in those countries, while no state of war exist with the U.S.. Some of those killed have been American citizens. No charges, no jury, no judge. Just a CIA hit list.

            Once one state finds an efficient killing method others soon follow, now 50 countries have drones. Of course drones are not just being used to invade others soveriegn territory but are used as means of surveillance in their own home land. They have been used in the UK for this purpose and in the US, no doubt other countries are fllowing suit. The implications are horrendous, as country after country builds up its peopleless army of spies and assassins. Soon war will become a 9 to 5 office job, you'll have kids sitting in front of what looks like a game consul in some government office, getting excited as they see there hits score go higher and higher. No doubt there will be bonuses for the highest scorers. They will probably boast to their friends and family about their high score, oblivious that each score is the death of a family or a village, or even worse as the drones get larger and carry a heavier payload of destruction and death.

       I wrote on this some time back and make no apologies for doing so again, it is a horror world we should not allow ourselves to sleepwalk into, it is a world that only suits the corporate state.

LAW AND ORDER,PLC.

        We should be under no illusions that the present bunch of millionaires sitting in the Westminster Houses of Hypocrisy and Corruption have a master plan. It is quite simply to privatise everything, and that means everything, no exemptions, all will be turned into cash cows for the corporate world, health, education, social services, police, prisons and the judiciary. There method is the same in each case, starve it of funds, forcing it to seek private money to continue functioning and waffle on about letting competition in to improve things and hey presto, you have a privatised society and we all live in a state of corporate fascism. 

This from SACC:

       You suffer a violent burglary. The scenes of crime officer who comes round is employed by G4S. Fibre samples are found, swabs taken and dispatched to G4S Forensics. The suspect resists arrest, is held overnight in police cells run by G4S, then appears before magistrates trained by the company. After serving his sentence he spends his a period of probation tagged by the company on a G4S work programme....

        John Shaw, the managing director of G4S has already held secret talks with leaders of two Scottish police forces.

Read the full article (SACC article)

        G4S provides security services to settlements and the Israeli Occupation Forces in Palestine. On 11 March 2011 it announced its exit from some contracts in the West Bank, but it continues to deliver security services to illegal settlements in the West Bank and to prisons in Israel. This includes the provision of various security systems in prisons where Palestinian are held as "security prisoners" in violation of international human rights norms.

ECONOMICS EXPLAINED.

        While this present "financial crisis" is rumbling along sucking all the wealth from the poor to the very rich, we keep getting all sorts of economic explanations from the academics and politicians. We get Keynesian to Marxist theories thrown at us, all in jargon that doesn't mean much to the ordinary member of the public, the ones hardest hit. Seldom do we get the truth set out in accurate but simple form, that we can all accept and understand. The following is probably the most straight forward, honest and simplest explanation that will come your way.

POVERTY GAMES TORCH, GLASGOW

           Between the Commonwealth Games and the Olympics, billions of pounds of public money is being handed over to the corporate world, so that they can can have a bean feast at our expense, while at the same time councils are being forced by the government, to cut vital services, increase unemployment and are being party to a deepening housing crisis. We are supposed to get excited at the sight of “VIPs” being chauffeured around, wined and dine, while we are meant to stand at the roadside waving flags. Hooray for the council, they're having a party, and we are paying. Of course you might get a chance to see some of the sports on tele, and when the party's over we will still be sitting in crap houses, with no social services and facing unemployment, if you have a job, and fuel poverty if you don't or if you're a pensioner. Rise up Glaswegians and show your anger and disgust at a system that has all the money in the world for a 10 day party and overseas wars, but nothing for the ordinary people.

"Poverty Games” torch comes to Glasgow –

Thurs 15 March, 1pm Dalmarnock

        Glasgow Games Monitor is hosting visitors from the Vancouver Poverty Olympics campaign here next week, to ‘hand over’ their Poverty Olympics Torch. The purpose of the event is to highlight the gross inequity produced by Games events: while millions in public money is spent on a 10 day party, the city faces massive cuts in local services, increasing unemployment and a deepening housing crisis.

        The event is a mock ‘torch relay’, to take the Poverty Torch through the worst affected streets of Dalmarnock. Starting at the Velodrome on London Road, the torch will be ‘handed over’ to Glasgow by visitors from Vancouver and taken down Springfield Road to pass the sites of massive land speculation as well as brutal evictions of residents, shopkeepers and local service users from the Accord Centre.

         Meet at 12.45pm for a 1pm start outside the new Velodrome on London Road (opposite Celtic Park), finish by 2.30 at the Accord Centre.

All welcome, please circulate widely.

GREEK SELF HELP.

        The brutality with which the corporate fascists have hit the Greek people is beginning to have a bit of a blow-back effect. For years the farmers have been screwed by the merchants who offer them a pittance for their crops and then the produce goes to the supermarket where the public get ripped off along with the farmers by paying through the nose for what the merchants bought for a song. Now the farmers are turning to the public direct, and selling tonnes of potatoes at a fraction of the supermarket price and still making more for themselves. Let's hope that the process spreads through the whole of the Greek home grown produce and the friends of the corporate fascists, the supermarkets pull down the shutters and pull out. The ingenuity and resilience of the ordinary people is a rich seam, we should always remember, we don't need them, they need us, a little bit of mutual aid goes a long way.

This from Teacher Dude's Grill and BBQ:

With incomes plummeting and retail prices rising the idea for farmers to sell their produce directly to the Greek public has proved to be an unexpected success. Producers from the northern region of Nevrokopi sold 35 tonnes to city dwellers eager to buy potatoes at less than a third of the supermarket prices. For the farmers it is a chance to sell potatoes at a reasonable price rather than be forced to accept merchants's offers than did not even cover the cost of production. In the wake of the successful experiment other producers of fruit, vegetables and dairy products are considering following the potato farmers lead. Clickhere for their site.

AN ANNIVERSARY, MARCH 10th.

        Through out their history anarchists have been despised and persecuted by the state and employers alike. We could fill a very large telephone directory of those who have suffered at the hands of this particular authoritarian duo. From blacklisted to beaten, executed and assassinated the anarchists have had it all flung at them. It is not difficult to understand why this brutal onslaught should be thrown at this particular group of individuals. The last thing that the state or employers want is for people to think for themselves and take control of the society in which they live. In order to protect their wealth and power both these organisations need a subservient populace, anarchism would be the demise of such exploitation. Anarchists are about the complete restructuring of society, the abolition of exploitation, an end to power over anyone, and the creation of a society that sees to the needs of all our people. It is no wonder that the powers that be in the state and the corporate world will do everything in their power to dirty the image of, and destroy anything associated with, the words anarchist and anarchism.  

       However, we anarchist still have a lot to celebrate, in spite of the phony propaganda and the violence against us, we are still here, but we should always remember those events that have tried to prevent that being the case.

March 10th, From Wikipedia:

Salvador Segui.(centre)

 

Salvador Seguí (Tornabous, Lleida Province 1886 – Barcelona, 1923), known as El noi del sucre ("the sugar boy") for his habit of eating the sugar cubes served him with his coffee, was a Catalan anarcho-syndicalist in the Confederación Nacional del Trabajo (CNT), a Spanish confederation of anarcho-syndicalist labor unions active in Catalonia. Together with Ángel Pestaña, Seguí opposed the paramilitary actions advocated and carried out by other members of the CNT.^[1] On March 10, 1923, while completing preparations to promote the idea of emancipation as a form of social empowerment among workers, he was assassinated by gunshot on Carrer de la Cadena, in Barcelona's Raval District, at the hands of gunmen working for the Catalan employers' organisation under protection of Catalonia's Civil Governor, Martínez Anido.^[2][3] At this same shooting, another anarcho-syndicalist, Francesc Comes, known as Perones, was wounded and was to die several days later.

He has received many tributes since his death, and a foundation has been launched in his memory, the Fundación Salvador Seguí, based in Barcelona, Madrid and Valencia.

OUR NHS OR A CORPORATE CASH COW??

        Is it our NHS, or is it a cash cow for the corporate world? Only you can save it for our kids, grand kids, our elderly and our sick, the corporate millionaire Mafia in the Westminster Houses of Hypocrisy and Corruption have already decided. They want it to be parcelled up and delivered to their friends in the corporate greed club. Their plans are in place, they are just waiting to get it the stamp of approval from their millionaire buddies, giving it a bogus legitimacy, a gift from that Millionaires welfare club on the Thames. It is the biggest bonanza the parasites have had in many a year, don't expect them to show compassion, we don't enter their cash register brains. This is all about making billions from the sick, the elderly and the vulnerable, if you have the money you will get the best health care available, but otherwise you will be put on a waiting list until the wealthy, who can fill the tills of the corporate health service, get all the pampering they want.
