Citizens’ Action is Best Response for Disaster.

Saying that the country needs to unite in order to confront and address the calamities brought about by typhoon Ondoy, Akbayan Party-list Rep. Walden Bello on Monday asked every Filipino here in the Philippines and those overseas to summon their Bayanihan spirit and help the victims in any way possible.

One Monday morning in Spring, residents of Florence's centre woke up to find that a historic corner of the town - and the only space for children of the local kindergarten to play in - had been taken up by a gigantic metal outdoors extension of the Roberto Cavalli Club, managed by Joseph Danilo Jacoviello, son-in-law of the designer Roberto Cavalli.

The evicted squatters want to show the elected officials of the southwest both their anger at the brutal eviction and their determination to obtain a building for the Autonomous Social Center (ASC).

PRESS RELEASE

4 pm, May 30th, 2009 - for immediate release. Riot squads brutally evicted the people occupying a building at the corner of St-Patrick and Atwater this afternoon. Yesterday night, about a hundred people took this building in order to set up the Autonomous social center in a permanent space. At the present time, everyone who was inside has managed to exit the building and to join the support demonstration. The demo, a few hundred people strong, has now taken to the streets.

Point St. Charles – may 27th. This Friday May 29th will be a historical occasion as the first ever Autonomous Social Centre in Montreal will be throwing a large support demonstration to go occupy an abandoned building that will become its permanent space. The demonstration will start at 5:30 p.m. in Saint Gabriel Park, right outside of metro Charlevoix, and will proceed to reclaim the neighborhood as the festive crowd will find its way to the mystery building.

The NorthEast Anarchist Network is endorsing the "Self Described Anarchist Collective" and Global Justice Action calls for a diversity of tactics, including direct action, to disrupt the Spring meetings of the International Monetary Fund and World Bank in Washington, DC. Even in this era of uncontrolled economic retraction and collapse, the IMF and World Bank continue to reach for their misleading, self-proclaimed objective of "eradicating poverty", while paradoxically ignoring the needs of poor and indigenous communities.

Wind provides unpredictable energy and the wind energy industry is only viable because of so called ‘green subsidies’. Wind farms are a fraud, would say a child looking at the emperor walking naked in the streets. Whether you live in Canada, in the US, in England, France or Australia, the story is the same : publicly, no one dares to speak against the wind energy. We’ll explain how, why, and propose real, efficient and economical alternatives to the blowing wind industry.

Captain May Interview Schedule

The Portland nuclear exercises have begun today, Monday, October 15, and they will last all week. I will be giving regular updates via broadcast and Internet radio on the scenario and any updates. I have two scheduled interviews for today, and one on Thursday, October 18. I give all times in Pacific Standard Time, as the exercises are of most interest to people in that zone:

Captain Eric H. May, the Internet intelligence writer, focuses the 911 Truth community on the largest-ever US government terror drills, dirty nuke simulations in Portland, Phoenix and Guam from October 15-19. Given widespread rumors of a war with Iran beginning in mid-October, the public should keep a sharp and skeptical eye on the Bush administration.

Wind farm projects are growing like mushrooms after a rainy day, but the air is turbulent in the wind industry. Industrial wind farms are not as nice and green as promoters want us to believe. Like an opponent puts it : “There is more here than immediately meets the eye with industrial wind generators, and often the devil is in the details."
