First paragraph (Teaser):

We met last Sunday [August 19th]. I was part of the popular education brigades that were organized by the Peoples’ Global Action of Montreal in an effort to explain to folks living in the Montebello area the reasons behind our position against the Partnership for Security and Prosperity (PSP), a “dialogue�? that has been going on between Canadian, USA and Mexican leaders since 2005.

Mobilize and Protest against George Bush, Stephen Harper and Felipe Calderon at the meeting of the Security and Prosperity Partnership (SPP)

AUGUST 19-21, 2007
MONTEBELLO, QUEBEC
(Between Ottawa and Montreal)

In brief, the "Security and Prosperity Partnership" (SPP) combines the destructive neo-liberal policies of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) with the fear and paranoia of post 9-11 "Homeland Security" policies. The SPP is firmly rooted within a colonial and capitalist framework. About the SPP:

First paragraph (Teaser):

During the Quebec Summit of spring 2001, Françoise David denounced the “violence�? of the demonstrators after they had been barred from a large part of the city and while they were being shot at with tear gas grenades and plastic bullets. But, because of her friends in high places, her cunning false modesty and her blanket coverage by the media, this ambitious politician, like a phoenix always manages to rise from her own ashes.

First paragraph (Teaser):

Reclaim the debate! Resist the G8! In July 2006, the G8 will hold its annual Summit in St.Petersburg, Russia. Vladimir Putin says he's placing "energy security" at the top of the G8 agenda during Russia's presidency. The G8 countries consume 45% of world oil and produce 47% of global CO2 emissions. Their "energy security" is our energy grave!

First paragraph (Teaser):

We have no doubt that most of those who are taking part in the anti-G8 campaign are genuinely interested in fighting these issues. But think for minute. "Make Poverty History" is a slogan which hardly anyone disagrees with. It's such an innocuous slogan that Government ministers like Gordon Brown have jumped on the bandwagon.

First paragraph (Teaser):

 
We will resist the DNC with all of our might. We will make the delegates realize we do not want them in our fair city. We will refuse to recognize the State and we will continue to fight against the crook that is nominated. We will not ask for freedom, we will demand it.

First paragraph (Teaser):

 
Almost five months ago, at the NESCO industrial grounds, a hundred thousand restless souls, across ten thousand supposed social barriers, made their emotion and collective good-will into a kaleidoscope of embryonic social evolution, and revolution, and hope. I recently went back again...

First paragraph (Teaser):

As the WEF's European Economic Summit begins in Warsaw, Poland, activists in the city report that, as in Seattle, Quebec, and elsewhere, the usual methods of repression are being used to quell dissent in the name of 'security'. Thousands of police officers have been dispatched to the capital, and reports indicate that peaceful activists from other parts of Europe are being turned back at the border on bogus pretenses.

What follows is a report from pl.indymedia.org:

The alterglobalists slowly become numerous in Warsaw. There are also more and more of police buses coming, which results in more and more controls. The Indymedia volunteers also reach Warsaw from the other cities in Poland and abroad. We hope that the Indymedia editing room will soon be ready for writers, photographers and filmmakers. We hope, that neither our internet, nor our faith will fail ...

First paragraph (Teaser):

Amnesty International is calling on the Swiss federal and cantonal authorities to ensure that international human rights standards are fully observed during policing operations in the run-up to the World Economic Forum (WEF), being held in Davos between 21 and 25 January, and associated demonstrations taking place in Switzerland.

First paragraph (Teaser):

International demonstration against the World Economic Forum (WEF) Saturday 24th January 2004 Davos Switzerland 14:00 in front of Davos train station

From the 21 of January to the 25 of January the WEF(www.weforum.org),a meeting of the richest multinational corporations and government buearacrats more than 2.000 (mostly european) "global leaders" from politics,medias and economy are meeting in Davos ski ressort, Switzerland (www.davos.ch)

The WEF-summit in Davos is another attempt to minimise the social and political rights in favour of the benefit of the capital - owners. The last summits have shown, that a critical public isn't welcome, neither inside nor outside the conference-buildings. Due to the past years mobilisation in Davos,the Swiss authorities hade authorized the demonstration in Davos on the 25 of January 2003 but in reality they mades everythig possible to denie acess to demonstartors. Only half of the crowd accessed Davos. The others were victimes of heavy repression as in 2001when the demonstration was forbiden and all, who protest against the meetings with their voice and their presence, were confrontated with a massive repression on the part of the police.
