Video: Welcome to the Police State: NYC Cops Mace Peaceful Protestors Against Wall Street
I’m beginning to wonder whether the right to assemble is effectively dead in the US. No one who is a wage slave (which is the overwhelming majority of the population) can afford to have an arrest record, even a misdemeanor, in this age of short job tenures and rising use of background checks.

Cynthia McKinney: From Barbarism to Barbarism? Outrage and the Fight for Justice
As committed Libyans valiantly resist the entire NATO arsenal of modern and old-fashioned killfare, a new kind of perverse global plantation is being created.

Surrounded by the headquarters of some of the world’s most powerful financial players, over two thousand protesters converged on Wall Street this Saturday.

Media Lens: The Golden Rule Of State Violence: Terrorism Is What They Do; Counterterrorism Is What We Do
A defining feature of state power is rhetoric about a ‘moral’ or ‘ethical’ role in world affairs. Errors of judgement, blunders and tactical mistakes can, and do, occur. But the motivation underlying state policy is fundamentally benign. Reporters and commentators, trained or selected for professional ‘reliability’, tend to slavishly adopt this prevailing ideology.

Video: British WWII veteran jailed for recording court hearing
British prisons are full to bursting. Courts are working overtime sending young people to jail for their role in the recent riots in England. If they are sent to Leeds prison, they will be languishing alongside 85-year-old Norman Scarth. Continue reading

Riotgate : Dispatch from East London By Felicity Arbuthnot
From afar we have heard the politicians, the social scientists, the psychologists. It is ‘feral youth’, ‘black youth’, ‘low life scum living off the State’ (say the millionaire politicians in charge of the State, living off it courtesy the tax payer.) The ‘lazy’, the ‘feckless’, ‘people from sink estates’, are responsible – and so it… Continue reading

Damn it or fear it, the forbidden truth is an insurrection in Britain By John Pilger
On a warm spring day, strolling in south London, I heard demanding voices behind me. A police van disgorged a posse of six or more, who waved me aside. They surrounded a young black man who, like me, was ambling along. They appropriated him; they rifled his pockets, looked in his shoes, inspected his teeth.… Continue reading

The state unleashes the Dogs of Media By William Bowles
What a depressing state of affairs. The media, like some slavering pack of wolves, eager for blood has descended on our dispossessed and demonized them some more. It’s like something out of the worst of the Victorian period, where to be poor was literally regarded as a crime and treated as such. Continue reading

Video: The Real Source of the British Riots
So in the UK, only one in five homes is occupied by couples with children. Nine out of ten couples face a tax and benefit penalty worth more than 100 pounds a week if they live together – so in other words, they are 100 pounds a week better off if they live apart! Continue reading

UK: Turkish and Kurdish Labourers and Traders Must Refuse to Be Pitted Against the Black People
