24.7.10

Many Faucheurs Volon­taires d’OGM (Vol­un­teer Scythers of GM, as anti-genet­ic crop trash­ers are called there) on Sat­ur­day decon­t­a­m­i­nat­ed a field of GM sun­flow­ers, grown to be resis­tant to pes­ti­cide. One of the fields was in Sorigny and the oth­er in Saint-Branchs, to the south of Tours. The gen­darmes (the rur­al police) took 27 of the 200 into cus­tody, and released them lat­er in the after­noon.

‘Hid­den-GM plants’ though classed as GM under Euro­pean direc­tive 2001/18/CE, they aren’t actu­al­ly cov­ered by GM leg­is­la­tion. They haven’t had genes insert­ed, but are mutat­ed at the genome lev­el through chem­i­cal genet­ic muta­tion, or irra­di­a­tion. They have not been test­ed before being released into fields. A patent ‘pro­tects’ the mutat­ed gene, pre­vent­ing farm­ers keep­ing seed. The action was also against the pri­vati­sa­tion of seed. The decon­t­a­m­i­na­tors did the first field, held a press con­fer­ence at a sec­ond field before doing that one, and though the police turned up then, they tried to arrest the jour­nal­ists! They were arrest­ed after being fol­lowed to their debrief point, when one car broke down and many oth­ers stayed in sol­i­dar­i­ty.

Pio­neer decid­ed not to lodge a com­plaint, but the pro­test­ers remain under threat from the own­ers of the field who con­tin­ue to pur­sue them legal­ly.

European Climate Exchange (ECX) target of decocidio hacktivists against carbon trading scam

On Fri­day, July 23 at 23:23 UTC, the pub­lic web­site of the Euro­pean Cli­mate Exchange (ECX),
the lead­ing mar­ket­place for trad­ing CO2 emis­sions in Europe, has been tar­get­ted by hack­tivists
of the autonomous tech col­lec­tive *deco­cidio* (#ϴ).

In a pub­lic act of dig­i­tal direct action, the ECX web­site was tak­en offline and replaced with our mes­sage in an effort to try to raise aware­ness about car­bon trad­ing as a dan­ger­ous false solu­tion
to the cli­mate cri­sis, in sup­port of the grass­roots activists aim­ing to oppose the pow­er struc­tures and com­pa­nies prof­i­teer­ing from the dys­func­tion­al Cap & Trade scheme.

Earth First! Summer Gathering set-up plans announced

We can now announce that set-up will begin from around 2pm on Sat­ur­day, 31 July. Mar­quees, tools and con­struc­tion mate­ri­als will be arriv­ing on site from Sat­ur­day morn­ing so there will be plen­ty to do. You will be able to camp on the site from Sat­ur­day and there will be skele­ton facil­i­ties (water, basic kitchen) from that time.

We can now announce that set-up will begin from around 2pm on Sat­ur­day, 31 July. Mar­quees, tools and con­struc­tion mate­ri­als will be arriv­ing on site from Sat­ur­day morn­ing so there will be plen­ty to do. You will be able to camp on the site from Sat­ur­day and there will be skele­ton facil­i­ties (water, basic kitchen) from that time.

We also have a mobile num­ber for set­up which is 07766 947852. This will be on-site from Sat­ur­day lunchtime, and may well get answered in the few days before­hand but please don’t try ring­ing until then — e‑mail will remain the main con­tact point until near­er the time — sum­mer­gath­er­ing -{at}- earthfirst.org.uk

What we need to know:

*Please can you let us know when you are com­ing? — this helps us plan foods, facil­i­ties and what jobs to do when.

*It is also help­ful if you can let us know if you have any par­tic­u­lar skills or inter­ests with respect to set-up — we might need dri­vers, so if you are over 25, hold a clean licence, are con­fi­dent dri­ving a 3.5 tonne Luton AND can bring along both parts of your dri­ving licence please let us know.

*Sim­i­lar­ly if you are arriv­ing in a vehi­cle and could poten­tial­ly pro­vide lifts, trans­port equip­ment en route or run errands from site once you arrive please let us know. In this case it is very help­ful if you are able/willing to sup­ply us with a con­tact phone num­ber.

How to get there

As you maybe aware that we do not announce the exact site of the gath­er­ing until one week before the main event, this means direc­tions will be avail­able on the web­site http://www.earthfirstgathering.org.uk/ from Wednes­day, 27 July. We realise this will be short notice for peo­ple arriv­ing on the Sat­ur­day, how­ev­er to make things eas­i­er we will e‑mail direc­tions to set-up crew on that day (that still 4 days to check a map!).

The near­est train sta­tion is Der­by if you want to pre-book train tick­ets, you will also need to take a local bus ser­vice from Der­by (these are fre­quent). We are aim­ing to have a vehi­cle on site that can assist if peo­ple have dif­fi­cul­ties between Der­by and the site, so hope­ful­ly every­one will be able to get there okay.

There may be a very small num­ber of lifts avail­able from the Not­ting­ham area across the week­end of Sat­ur­day 31st July/Sunday first of August. There may also be lifts from the Leeds area first thing on 31 July. Let us know if this may be of inter­est to you.

What to bring

*Every­thing you need to the gath­er­ing, tent sleep­ing bags etc. and espe­cial­ly a torch

*It may be wise to come a bit more self-suf­fi­cient in food and snacks than you would need to for the main gath­er­ing — we will have a basic kitchen but Veg­gies and the tuck shop are not arriv­ing until Wednes­day

*If you are able to bring any tools, espe­cial­ly for basic car­pen­try, these are often use­ful

Big thanks for offer­ing to help out

Do get in touch if you have any ques­tions

Love & rage

STOP VEDANTA’s KILLINGS, DISPLACEMENT AND DEVASTATION!
THROW THEM OUT OF INDIA AND the UK!

STOP VEDANTA’S AGM!

3pm, Wednes­day, 28 July 2010,
The Insti­tute of Civ­il Engi­neers, 1, Great George Street, Lon­don SW1P 3AA

Vedan­ta plc’s record in Oris­sa, India:
· More than 100 men, women and chil­dren have been killed in acci­dents, police fir­ings, forced dis­place­ment, injury and ill­ness
· More than 1000 peo­ple have been dis­placed and more than 8000 under threat
· More than100 square miles of land have been dev­as­tat­ed and an equal area of for­est under threat
· Rivers and streams which are the life­line for tens of thou­sands of peo­ple are dry­ing up
· Thou­sands of acres of fer­tile agri­cul­tur­al land have been destroyed in a region which has seen famines every year since 2007
· Drink­ing water sources are being con­t­a­m­i­nat­ed by dump­ing of fly ash and tox­ic red mud into riv­er streams
· The Niyam­giri hills – known as the most beau­ti­ful moun­tains in India — are under threat. The ancient civ­i­liza­tion of the Don­gria Kondh adi­vasi com­mu­ni­ty, who regard the Niyam Don­gar moun­tain and forests of the area as their Gods, is being wiped out
· Vedan­ta is caus­ing mass unem­ploy­ment and des­ti­tu­tion as farm­ers, fish­ing com­mu­ni­ties and for­est dwellers are being dis­placed and aban­doned in shan­ty-towns

Why is this hap­pen­ing?

Mega-prof­its for bil­lion­aires with blood on their hands
Anil Agar­w­al, bil­lion­aire CEO of Vedan­ta is deter­mined to mine for baux­ite in Niyam­giri despite mas­sive oppo­si­tion of the local peo­ple, and a nation­al and inter­na­tion­al cam­paign against it, which recent­ly led
share­hold­ers includ­ing the Church of Eng­land and Rown­trees, to pull out.
Lon­don –based Anil Agar­w­al is worth 4.1billion pounds and is cur­rent­ly the tenth rich­est per­son in Britain, whose per­son­al wealth has grown even in the reces­sion by 583%. Agarwal’s empire – Vedan­ta Resources – now spans four con­ti­nents, with offices in Lon­don and oper­a­tions in Zam­bia, Aus­tralia and India. Vedan­ta and Agar­w­al have been accused of ‘cor­rup­tion, fraud, forgery, manip­u­la­tion of share prices, and insid­er trad­ing.’ as Norway’s Coun­cil of Ethics describes.

Who else is ben­e­fit­ting?
Anil Agar­w­al and Vedan­ta have close links with the Sangh Pari­var, the umbrel­la group of Hin­du right-wing orga­ni­za­tions in India. These orga­ni­za­tions have been held respon­si­ble for geno­ci­dal attacks on India’s
minor­i­ty Mus­lim and Chris­t­ian com­mu­ni­ties, in Oris­sa, Gujarat and else­where.
Vedan­ta has con­nec­tions with many pow­er­ful fig­ures. Its Board mem­bers have includ­ed P.Chidambaram, India’s Home Min­is­ter, Naresh Chan­dra, for­mer Indi­an Ambas­sador to the US, and David Gore-Booth, for­mer British
Ambas­sador to Sau­di Ara­bia and High Com­mis­sion­er of India.

What is the role of the British Gov­ern­ment?
Vedan­ta was launched on the Lon­don Stock Exchange in Decem­ber 2003 with the help of Britain’s Depart­ment of Trade and Indus­try and the Depart­ment for Inter­na­tion­al Devel­op­ment (DfID). More recent­ly, mas­sive pub­lic­i­ty of Vedanta’s crimes forced the British gov­ern­ment to crit­i­cize it for not hav­ing a human rights pol­i­cy.

BUT the British Gov­ern­ment has con­tin­ued to active­ly sup­port Vedan­ta. For exam­ple, DfID has set up and con­tin­ues to fund Busi­ness Part­ners for Devel­op­ment (Now renamed as Build­ing Part­ner­ships for Devel­op­ment) whose aim is to counter the effect of the pow­er­ful people’s move­ment against the com­pa­ny. And in 2005 DfID com­mis­sioned “Oris­sa Dri­vers for Change” a research project which urges min­er­al inten­sive indus­tri­al­iza­tion of the region and sup­ports Vedan­ta and oth­er com­pa­nies.

Sabotage arm21 July 2010
Activists entered the Cutacre coal mine in the ear­ly hours of a June morn­ing, & sab­o­taged 7 mon­ster-trucks, used to trans­port coal around the site.

They report that met­al hair-pins were cut to length, coat­ed in super­glue & insert­ed deep into the locks of the vehi­cles. Anoth­er healthy dose of glue fol­lowed for good mea­sure.

It is not known how long the vehi­cles were out of action- odd­ly nobody hung around long enough to find out.

The site is locat­ed in the Greater Man­ches­ter area, & is oper­at­ed by “lets trash the plan­et” UK Coal. It is on land owned by ” lets sell our mums for mon­ey” Peel Hold­ings.

The activists say they were inspired by fine exam­ples of sab­o­tage at Main­shill, & hope that all over the coun­try, peo­ple will resist the destruc­tion, & sab­o­tage machin­ery.

Nobody was arrest­ed.

Last resort?: Gegharkunik residents turn into live shield to protect their river, Armenia

A live shield appeared yes­ter­day, July 19, on the Yere­van-Sevan high­way, when the res­i­dents of the Gegharku­nik province blocked the road to express their protest against the con­struc­tion of a hydropow­er plant on the Gay­lad­zor stream of the Argitchi Riv­er.

River ArgitchiA live shield appeared yes­ter­day, July 19, on the Yere­van-Sevan high­way, when the res­i­dents of the Gegharku­nik province blocked the road to express their protest against the con­struc­tion of a hydropow­er plant on the Gay­lad­zor stream of the Argitchi Riv­er.

Since the morn­ing about 500 res­i­dents from six vil­lages blocked the Yere­van-Mar­touni sec­tion of the Sevan high­way for about five hours par­a­lyz­ing traf­fic for more than 1,000 cars. Lat­er on, Gegharku­nik marzpetaran (local admin­is­tra­tion body) employ­ees arrived, and asked for ten days to set­tle the issue.

“Res­i­dents turned to all com­pe­tent gov­ern­ment bod­ies, and they had noth­ing else left to do in this respect. They are ready to repeat the same step in ten days unless some­thing is changed for the bet­ter,” Lian­na Asoy­an, coor­di­na­tor of the Aarhus Cen­ter in Armenia’s Gegharku­nik province, told Arme­ni­aNow.

The riv­er Argitchi is the biggest among 28 rivers flow­ing into Lake Sevan. It secures 12 cen­time­ters for the rise of the lake lev­el annu­al­ly. The riv­er pro­vides irri­ga­tion water for more than 30,000 res­i­dents of six vil­lages in Geghark­ounik province. If the project of chang­ing the course of the Gay­lad­zor stream flow­ing to the riv­er Argitchi is imple­ment­ed, about 40 per­cent of Argirchi water will be direct­ed to Vay­ots Dzor province, which is in the oppo­site side of Lake Sevan.

Asoy­an says that Zange­zour Eximp LLC is ille­gal­ly con­duct­ing the con­struc­tion of a small hydropow­er plant on the Argitchi Riv­er though the per­mit issued to this com­pa­ny says it is enti­tled to car­ry out con­struc­tion only on the trib­u­tary of the Eghegis Riv­er in Kapuyt Berd, while con­struc­tion works on the riv­er Argitchi are ille­gal.

Envi­ron­men­tal­ists are sure that by means of chang­ing the course of the riv­er, the lev­el of Lake Sevan – the largest sweet water basin in Arme­nia – will be dropped. The rise of Lake Sevan’s lev­el influ­enced the lucra­tive busi­ness­es found­ed along the lakeshore dur­ing recent years. Besides, the abrupt rise of Lake Sevan’s lev­el is con­sid­ered to be one of the most impor­tant envi­ron­men­tal issues for Arme­nia, where Lake Sevan is the main ele­ment of the whole ecosys­tem.

The RA Law on Lake Sevan, which pro­hibits the use of the lake’s basin water for oth­er pur­pos­es, be it a hydro-pow­er plant, irri­ga­tion or some oth­er pur­pose, is being vio­lat­ed because of the con­struc­tion of the hydropow­er plant. Besides, it is also dan­ger­ous for fish, espe­cial­ly trout, since they spawn at the source of the riv­er Argitchi.

‘Die-in’ against nuclear transport at Olympic Park

What if… “Dozens died and thou­sands more were exposed to dan­ger­ous lev­els of can­cer-caus­ing radi­a­tion after a train car­ry­ing high lev­el nuclear waste explod­ed as it passed through the Olympic Park in Strat­ford, east Lon­don this after­noon.

Nuke train die-inWhat if… “Dozens died and thou­sands more were exposed to dan­ger­ous lev­els of can­cer-caus­ing radi­a­tion after a train car­ry­ing high lev­el nuclear waste explod­ed as it passed through the Olympic Park in Strat­ford, east Lon­don this after­noon. The pub­lic is being warned to steer well clear of the area as the radioac­tive plume makes its way across the cap­i­tal and the south­ern half of Eng­land.”

The risk of just such a sce­nario, whether caused by an acci­dent or ter­ror­ist attack, prompt­ed the Nuclear Trains Action Group to organ­ise a die-in in front of Strat­ford sta­tion in east Lon­don as part of a demon­stra­tion on Sat­ur­day, 10 July 2010 against nuclear waste being trans­port­ed by rail through the Olympic Park and dense­ly pop­u­lat­ed areas of north Lon­don.

The protest start­ed with a ral­ly in Vic­to­ria Park, led by Kate Hud­son, chair of the Cam­paign for Nuclear Dis­ar­ma­ment (CND). Oth­er speak­ers includ­ed Lon­don Green Par­ty MEP Jean Lam­bert, and Dan Vies­nik and Mell Har­ri­son from the Stop Nuclear Pow­er Net­work (SNPN).

Around 70 pro­test­ers then marched for around three miles around the perime­ter of the site for the Lon­don 2012 Olympics, along a canal, accom­pa­nied by a sig­nif­i­cant police pres­ence. Car­ry­ing plac­ards, and ban­ners from the Nuclear Trains Action Group, local CND groups, the Green Par­ty, SNPN and Action East End.

Upon arrival at Strat­ford sta­tion, the marchers pro­ceed­ed to “die” in front of the entrance (although it was dif­fi­cult to tell whether they had not in fact faint­ed from the exhaus­tion of walk­ing in the swel­ter­ing heat). Some of those who remained on their feet, seem­ing­ly imper­vi­ous to the per­va­sive radi­a­tion, hand­ed out hun­dreds of leaflets to curi­ous passers by, whilst oth­ers chalked around the out­lines of the corpses.

After around half an hour of this car­nage, the corpses trans­formed into zom­bies, ris­ing to their feet and prompt­ly mov­ing off to quench their ter­ri­ble thirst.

140 arrested in Zagreb protests against construction in Varsavska pedestrian zone

15.07.10
At least 140 peo­ple have been arrest­ed in peace­ful protests Zagreb, Croa­t­ia, today as works began on a heav­i­ly unpop­u­lar entrance ramp to a pri­vate under­ground car park, which would destroy part of the city’s Varsavs­ka Street pedes­tri­an zone.

At least 140 peo­ple have been arrest­ed in peace­ful protests Zagreb, Croa­t­ia, today as works began on a heav­i­ly unpop­u­lar entrance ramp to a pri­vate under­ground car park, which would destroy part of the city’s Varsavs­ka Street pedes­tri­an zone.

Around 200 police includ­ing riot police sealed off the street while work­ers erect­ed a fence around the con­struc­tion site and cut down 5 trees. Con­trac­tors have been attempt­ing to start work on the project since the begin­ning of the year but have until now been pre­vent­ed by protests, includ­ing the destruc­tion of a con­struc­tion fence in May and a sub­se­quent 33 day occu­pa­tion of the pedes­tri­an zone.

“It’s a trag­ic day for jus­tice in Croa­t­ia when riot police arrest 140 res­i­dents for enter­ing a pub­lic street instead of arrest­ing the deci­sion-mak­ers and investor who engaged in cor­rup­tion and nepo­tism in order to force this project through against mas­sive pub­lic oppo­si­tion”, com­ment­ed Jago­da Munic of Green Action. “In mid-June the State Attor­ney (DORH) issued a state­ment that legal irreg­u­lar­i­ties have been found in the project, but that inves­ti­ga­tions were still going on. Con­struc­tion must stop imme­di­ate­ly while these cor­rup­tion inves­ti­ga­tions are com­plet­ed”.

LATEST NEWS FROM 16 JULY — most of the activists have been released already and just few more activist are still arrest­ed but will be out very soon. At the end 150 peo­ple in total were arrest­ed. All of them have 8 days dis­trait order to come to the street where the protest was held (Varsavs­ka) and to streets near­by.

Lewes Road community garden opposes Tesco — update

Fol­low­ing a sym­pa­thet­ic court hear­ing against devel­op­ers Alburn Minos Ltd and Tesco on July 9 Lewes Road Com­mu­ni­ty Gar­den sup­port­ers are more deter­mined than ever to stay put on one of Brighton’s busiest and most pol­lut­ed roads. The gar­den is OPEN!

Lewes Road community gardenFol­low­ing a sym­pa­thet­ic court hear­ing against devel­op­ers Alburn Minos Ltd and Tesco on July 9 Lewes Road Com­mu­ni­ty Gar­den sup­port­ers are more deter­mined than ever to stay put on one of Brighton’s busiest and most pol­lut­ed roads. The gar­den is OPEN!

Alburn Minos Ltd and Tesco failed in their attempts to get £3,500 costs award­ed against two named indi­vid­u­als who have had to dis­as­so­ci­ate them­selves from the gar­den because of the legal har­rass­ment and bul­ly-boy tac­tics typ­i­cal of cor­po­ra­tions in cas­es rang­ing from ani­mal rights activists to McLi­bel.

Judge Coltart said the costs claim was not pro­por­tion­ate and award­ed the devel­op­ers £500 which was raised two days after thanks to ever grow­ing pub­lic sup­port now that Tesco is known to be involved. One anony­mous donor gave £200 at a gar­den Eco- Fayre (July 11) and num­bers sign­ing the Save LRCG peti­tion are run­ning at 40 a day.

The next step? Gar­den­ers, near­by res­i­dents and the wider com­mu­ni­ty are con­tin­u­ing to bring water and plants to the site. Art stu­dents have installed a tree sculp­ture while long time gar­den sup­port­ers are return­ing now that it is clear Tesco ain’t gonna have it their own way.

An evic­tion order is expect­ed soon with a sec­ond attempt by the devel­op­ers to take the land.

On Fri­day July 23 a ben­e­fit gig is being held at Hec­tors House pub in Grand Parade fea­tur­ing punk swing out­fit Flat Stan­ley, Ade Sings Rossel­songs and DJ Gene Defekt. £4 on the door with all the mon­ey going to a gar­den fight­ing fund.

Lewes Road Com­mu­ni­ty Gar­den was set up in May 2009 by a group from the local com­mu­ni­ty. It has pro­vid­ed a meet­ing space and green haven ever since, enjoyed by thou­sands of peo­ple, pro­vid­ing a venue for com­mu­ni­ty events and bring­ing togeth­er local res­i­dents many of whom don’t have gar­dens them­selves. There is a food waste com­post scheme, and reg­u­lar events with close to 5,000 peo­ple have signed a peti­tion of sup­port for the gar­den and against Tesco, a bet­ting shop and 7 flats planned.
