Press release and open letter from the protest organized on June 3rd at the Italian Embassy:

Captain Eric H. May, the Internet intelligence writer, takes a look at the disturbing possibility that the incredible spike in killer earthquakes and super-storms during the Bush administration is not coincidental.

On Commissionism[1] and Roma issues

The Commission is living a dream; the majority of Roma continue living a nightmare[2]

An inventory of existing Roma bodies and Roma-relevant documents of the intergovernmental organisations would be quite impressive. When it comes to the European Union (the focus of this article) the situation as seen by people in Brussels is better than the average. There is a Commissioner in charge of Roma issues, and hundreds of documents have been produced since 1984 detailing the problems Roma face in Europe . Most of those documents and official speeches refer to the need for positive action “to reverse the effects of centuries of prejudice and exclusion.[3]”

ººº With respect to the situation in Cuba these past few weeks, the Cuban Libertarian Movement – MLC (affinity group of Cuban anarchists in exile) speaks up to answer the unknowns and the challenges facing Cuban society. Ours is the voice of uncompromising commitment to freedom, equality and solidarity that has always been the sound of the Cuban anarchists.

The NATO summit in Bucharest took place between April 2-4. Activists from Romania and abroad organized “Anti-NATO Days” between March 28 and April 5, as a form of protest. What follows is a daily chronology of events, starting with the repression and abuse by border guards, police and the mass-media, to the actions of solidarity by human rights organizations and foreign activists.

Captain Eric H. May, the Internet intelligence writer, presents two opposite ends of the Iraq war debate in the persons of retired Lt. General Odom and Iraq commander General Petraeus. As always, the captain offers commentary and controversy on a topic badly in need of it!

Varios indicios vienen señalando que los Estados Unidos han puesto en marcha un plan para orquestar un golpe de estado en Paraguay similar al que instrumentaron en Venezuela en abril del año 2002

The Common Voice from the anarchists and anti-militarists who gathered in Bucharest in April 2008 to protest against the NATO summit.

An adress of solidarity to those struggling on the streets of Bucarest and at the borders of Romania, from the protesters against the NATO-security Conference in Munich

Dear comrades

This evening, during the punk concert, we will speak from the stage to audience about the situation in Bucharest!!

Christian terrorists Bush calls on NATO terrorist allies for Afghan troops U.S. Christian terrorist President George W. Bush urged NATO terrorist allies Wednesday to send more troops to Afghanistan, saying the alliance could not afford to lose its battle against Taliban and al Qaeda Mujahideen. In a keynote speech before a summit of the 26-nation defence alliance in the Romanian capital, Bucharest, terrorist Bush said: “As (French) President (Nicolas) Sarkozy put it in London last week, we cannot afford to lose Afghanistan. Whatever the cost, however difficult, we cannot afford it, we must win. I agree completely. Noting that France and Romania were due to send more troops, he said: “We ask other nations to step forward with additional forces as well.”

After the sites contra-doxa.com and summitnato.ro, which have published anti-summit materials, were attacked for the first time in the middle of the day on April 2nd and were subsequently brought back online, during the evening of the same day they crashed for the second time as a consequence of a new online attack.

We want to express our solidarity with the struggle against this NATO-summit. We are the Internationalist Bloc against the NATO-Security Conference, which is taking place in Munich every year. Since 2001, we have been organizing protests and resistance against this militarist meeting, involving thousands of local, regional and international activists from the movements against war and capitalist globalization.

eyewitness report from an indymedia journalist who was involved with the
anti-NATO mobilizations in Bucharest

El gobierno paraguayo denunció este viernes 28 de marzo que Estados Unidos busca presionarlo a través de las donaciones de USAID para que permita manejar desde Washington la identificación de los ciudadanos paraguayos, consintiendo la adjudicación de una licitación para la confección de documentos de identidad a una empresa norteamericana.

Personal impressions from Calafat by the 6 German activists who were on their way to the Anti-NATO protests in Bucharest and were detained by the Romanian border police. The first of the border "incidents" that made it clear Romania closed its borders to anyone suspected of antinato sentiments.

Warning for all the people that want to cross into Romania

After the experience of yesterday, all the people that want to cross
the border now should keep in mind that the border police (Romanian
authorities) will look for the smallest and most ridiculous reason not
to let them cross the border into Romania. Since weeks ago the media is
creating a false image of anarchists that will come to Romania and
start violent riots, just to give an excuse for the police repression.

On March 21st 6 German anti-nato activists were forcefully deported to Bulgaria by the Romanian border police.
