    LONDON (AP) - Half a dozen explosions rocked the London subway and tore open a packed double-decker bus during the morning rush hour Thursday. The blasts killed at least two people and injured scores in what a shaken Prime Minister Tony Blair said was a series of barbaric’’ terrorist attacks.
    Blair said it was clear the attacks were designed to coincide (…)

    GLENEAGLES, Scotland, July 6 (Xinhuanet) — The streets of Edinburgh looked quite normal on Wednesday except a heavy presence of police and some boarded up shop windows in downtown areas. With the fast-approaching Group of Eight (G8) summit in Gleneagles some70 kilometers way from the Scottish capital, Scotland is all drummed up to ensure a safe summit.
    On Monday, violent clashes took place on a high street of Edinburgh when over 1,000 anarchists and members of the so-called Carnival for (…)

    Documents show the fix was in
    Speaking on May 15 in Baghdad, Condoleezza Rice made an outrageous statement: "You see, this war came to us, not the other way around." Could there be anyone left in the U.S., let alone the Middle East, who believes this bald-faced lie?
    The truth has trickled out slowly — the truth so sickening that none of us want to believe it. But it’s finally out: The Bush administration, from its very first weeks in office, planned a military operation to overthrow (…)

  • The MSM Box Set
    6 July 2005 par (Open-Publishing)

    Spin cycles are supposed to last little longer than 24 hours, especially when it’s bad news for Bush & Co. That is, perhaps, one reason why the Downing Street Memos (DSM) are causing such consternation in journalistic circles. A recent column by Newsday editorialist James Klurfeld, “Downing St. memos: Been there, knew that” (6-24-05), is of particular interest to me, since I live on Long Island, and because it is a fascinating window into the thought processes of an influential member of (…)

    July 5, 2005 - On March 16, 2003, Bush, Blair and Aznar of Spain met on the Portuguese island of Terceira in the Azores and declared war on Iraq at a time of their "choosing" unless President Saddam Hussein and his two sons leave Iraq. On March 20, 2003, without explicit authorisation of the UN Security Council and in violation of international law, and against the majority of the world public opinion, the US and Britain attacked Iraq "pre-emptively".
    The violent attack was one of the most (…)

  • Disgraced Tony Blair

    The disgraced British Prime Minister Tony Blair is using the G8 for his personal PR and to distract attention from his crimes against humanity in Kosovo, Afghanistan and Iraq. As he speaks for the African poor, his troops and aircraft are killing the poor in Afghanistan and Iraq. His men are torturing innocent in US secret prisons around the world. British businesses are busy stealing others’ wealth and resources. Blair is worst than Bush because Bush is honestly stupid. Americans elect (…)

  • WOMBLES - G8 Scotland Edition

    WOMBLES was started in the autumn of 2000 by a group of anarchists who were radicalised from the J18, N30, Mayday and Prague actions. Many of the ideas which had difficulty being articulated in the ready existing radical anarchist/Reclaim the Streets movement in London formed the basis of what gave birth to the WOMBLES.
    As many of us met each other during the demonstrations against the IMF/World Bank summit in Prague, we wanted to recreate the experiences we all had shared, the emotions, (…)
