In the small hours of this morn­ing the Brighton branch of The Roy­al Bank of Scot­land fell foul of a FLAC attack.

We claim full cred­it for the free pub­lic art instal­la­tion of a fat red and black line of gloss paint on the floor across the door­way of the bank.

The black paint sig­ni­fies RBS oil invest­ments and the red paint, the lives that will be lost to cli­mate change.

Black paint was applied to the cash point to cre­ate the impres­sion of oil ooz­ing from the unstop­pable mon­ey machine. This illus­trates the
filthy nature of this banks activ­i­ties. We also proved we CAN stop a small cog in the machine. When we want to.

FLAC — the Fine Line Arts Col­lec­tive — has used this pub­licly owned space — bought with tax pay­ers mon­ey — to pose the ques­tion: “Where do we draw the line?”

Today FLAC mem­bers drew the line at RBS because…

RBS has financed com­pa­nies involved in tar sands extrac­tion to the tune of £8.3 bil­lion. RBS is the UK’s biggest financier of one of the dirt­i­est projects on Earth.

This is destroy­ing the Cana­di­an wilder­ness, forc­ing the indige­nous peo­ple off their lands and cre­at­ing the biggest C02 emit­ter in the world.

FLAC says: “RBS deserves to take some flack for that.And don’t get us start­ed on Chair­man Sir Fred’s £16 mil­lion pen­sion, not to men­tion the bankers’ £1million plus bonus­es.

“We all have to draw the line some­where. We draw the line at RBS using our mon­ey to destroy our plan­et and our future for pri­vate gain. Where do you draw the line?”

Artists notes.

FLAC used gloss paint for this action to sig­ni­fy the per­ma­nence of the bank’s destruc­tive activ­i­ties.

FLAC mem­bers hope oth­er artists will feel inspired to draw a line at their own local branch of the Roy­al Bank of Scot­land. Or indeed any oth­er bank that con­sis­tent­ly invests in human suf­fer­ing and ulti­mate­ly our demise.

Or draw your line wher­ev­er your sense of out­rage deems fit.

Mexico: Coca-Cola targeted by ALF/ELF

On the night of Jan­u­ary 17 we decid­ed to go out to once again prove that this war has not end­ed, that our actions have not stopped and that we con­tin­ue to feel the rage that we have put into every action.
This time we put two pack­ages of explo­sives in the front win­dows of the offices of the bot­tler FEMSA, owned by the filthy multi­na­tion­al Coca-Cola. The win­dows were com­plete­ly destroyed in the explo­sion. The attack was car­ried out in Ecate­pec, Mex­i­co City.

Coca-Cola is an earth-destroy­ing com­pa­ny that caus­eS the extinc­tion of ani­mal species, that uses extreme human exploita­tion to pro­duce goods like soft drinks, and that claims and pri­va­tizes nat­ur­al resources. Coca-Cola, one of the com­pa­nies direct­ly respon­si­ble for envi­ron­men­tal dete­ri­o­ra­tion, has been vis­it­ed by us, anar­chists and lib­er­a­tionists; we have decid­ed in these cells to focus on qual­i­ty actions, strength­en­ing our­selves to expand our acts of sab­o­tage.
While it is true that 2008 and 2009 were years of quan­ti­ta­tive expan­sion, now it is 2010, a new year, with new strate­gies and new tac­tics, but with the same courage to act.
This action is ded­i­cat­ed with all our desire for free­dom to the pris­on­ers Víc­tor, Emmanuel, Abra­ham, Fer­mín, and Socor­ro of Tijua­na. We hope that direct sol­i­dar­i­ty mul­ti­plies in clan­des­tine actions, for their uncon­di­tion­al lib­er­a­tion.
We pre­pare our weapons for the cli­mate change sum­mit!

The Euro­pean Coor­di­na­tion « Reclaim the Fields » (RtF) was born of the gath­er­ings and ini­tia­tive of a small group of young farm­ers and land­less peo­ple linked to Via Campesina, the RtF coor­di­na­tion met last Octo­ber at a Euro­pean camp of over 400 peo­ple involved in many dif­fer­ent small agri­cul­ture and col­lec­tive ini­tia­tive projects. After the camp, new peo­ple were moti­vat­ed to con­tin­ue the process, propos­ing anoth­er meet­ing in Cat­alo­nia, to bring togeth­er peo­ple already involved here in out-of-the-ordi­nary agri­cul­ture and self-pro­duc­tion ini­tia­tives such as col­lec­tive agri­cul­ture and the occu­pa­tion of land and aban­doned vil­lages, pro­duc­ers and con­sumer coop­er­a­tives, the fight against genet­ic engi­neer­ing and for eco­log­i­cal agri­cul­ture, etc.

Aware that net­works already exist around Can Mas­deu and beyond, we invite you to come and meet with us and com­pare expe­ri­ences, and
per­haps cre­ate con­nec­tions that will go beyond this gath­er­ing…

Mainshill Solidarity Camp evicted – not an end, but a beginning

30th Jan­u­ary 2010
Yes­ter­day was the fifth and final day of the evic­tion of the Main­shill Sol­i­dar­i­ty Camp – the last two arrests as the final occu­piers were dragged out of the rapid­ly shrink­ing Wood. A total of 45 arrests were made over the course of the evic­tion with close to 70 peo­ple tak­ing part and sup­port­ing the camp.

30th Jan­u­ary 2010
Yes­ter­day was the fifth and final day of the evic­tion of the Main­shill Sol­i­dar­i­ty Camp – the last two arrests as the final occu­piers were dragged out of the rapid­ly shrink­ing Wood. A total of 45 arrests were made over the course of the evic­tion with close to 70 peo­ple tak­ing part and sup­port­ing the camp.

All five days saw the vio­lence inflict­ed by the state on those who try to cre­ate pos­i­tive change, and the col­lu­sion between the courts, police and cor­po­ra­tions. But they also saw hero­ic acts of defi­ance, with peo­ple fight­ing off bailiffs until hav­ing their hands and feet cable-tied togeth­er and sup­port­ers main­tain­ing a 24-hour vig­il through­out the evic­tion.

This evic­tion is not an end, but the begin­ning of a cam­paign of com­mu­ni­ty-based rad­i­cal direct action sweep­ing Scotland’s cen­tral belt which can only grow in strength. From actions to stop work on open­cast sites and the shut­ting down of a major coal rail ter­mi­nal for a day (which hap­pened for a third time on Wednes­day), to com­mu­ni­ty engage­ment and sol­i­dar­i­ty result­ing in a sev­en-month occu­pa­tion and a pos­i­tive change in direc­tion for rad­i­cal envi­ron­men­tal­ism in Scot­land.

But where can we go next? We’ve hit these cap­i­tal­ists and mon­ey-grab­bers where it hurts most – in the pock­et – and we can’t wait to hear how much it has cost them in total. Over 30 direct actions have tak­en place over the past 12 months, and that’s not includ­ing the evic­tion. Machines have been trashed, health stud­ies pub­lished and bonds been made with those affect­ed by heavy indus­try and the caus­es of cli­mate change. We’ve dug tun­nels, defend­ed trees and climbed onto dig­gers.

The Main­shill Sol­i­dar­i­ty Camp has now been evict­ed, but the strug­gle con­tin­ues!

Update from the ongoing Mainshill eviction, day 4

The ongo­ing evic­tion of Main­shill Sol­i­dar­i­ty Camp entered its fourth day with the strug­gle to clear the sycamores con­tin­u­ing.

Yes­ter­day the bat­tle for the sycamores had start­ed with the removal of the skyraft, and one pro­tes­tor being hauled out of a tree.

Snow and Anarchy at MainshillThe ongo­ing evic­tion of Main­shill Sol­i­dar­i­ty Camp entered its fourth day with the strug­gle to clear the sycamores con­tin­u­ing.

Yes­ter­day the bat­tle for the sycamores had start­ed with the removal of the skyraft, and one pro­tes­tor being hauled out of a tree.

Tree­hous­es were destroyed and the remain­ing anti-coal activists were left with­out tarps, bed­ding or in some cas­es, a way down the tree.

Dur­ing the course of today, five oth­er peo­ple were evict­ed from the sycamores.

The hid­den tree­top camp known as ‘Ewok Vil­lage’ was cleared as well with climbers tack­ling some tough defences.

In all, there were nine arrests.

A huge amount of heavy machin­ery has been moved onto site, so oppor­tu­ni­ties for actions to stop work on site are lit­er­al­ly every­where.

“The fight isn’t over yet”, said the almost infa­mous Bar­ry Cad­er, recent­ly released on bail.

Update from day 3 Mainshill eviction

Sev­en more pro­tes­tors were arrest­ed today, Wednes­day 27th Jan­u­ary, in the third day of resis­tance against the evic­tion of Main­shill Sol­i­dar­i­ty Camp.

Up a tree at MainshillSev­en more pro­tes­tors were arrest­ed today, Wednes­day 27th Jan­u­ary, in the third day of resis­tance against the evic­tion of Main­shill Sol­i­dar­i­ty Camp.

As the tac­tics of the Nation­al Evic­tion Team grew increas­ing­ly aggres­sive and cav­a­lier, spir­its on site remained strong. Climbers attempt­ed to evict the stand of sycamores but were met with deter­mined resis­tance and suc­ceed­ed in only remov­ing one pro­tes­tor. Branch­es have been stripped from the remain­ing trees and tree­hous­es destroyed. The coal activists have been left with­out bed­ding or tarps for the night.

Bull­doz­ers destroyed trees with­in 50metres of a hid­den tree­top camp as the locked-on pro­tes­tors screamed and whis­tled to try and reveal them­selves and stop work. The dis­cov­ery of this fur­ther site has delayed the end of the evic­tion and rais­es doubts about the com­pe­ten­cy of the NET. A search heli­copter had made sev­er­al pass­es over the area but seem­ing­ly failed to find any­thing, despite hov­er­ing over their exact loca­tion for sev­er­al min­utes. As the bull­doz­ers neared the tree­hous­es, sup­port folk out­side site begged the NET to stop the work to secure the area and ensure the safe­ty of those locked-on. Their whis­tles could clear­ly be heard from the front of site but the NET were stub­born in their refusal to accept the pos­si­ble pres­ence of anoth­er occu­pa­tion. Work was final­ly stopped metres from the tree­hous­es. The climb­ing team expect to start try­ing to clear the area, known as ‘Ewok Vil­lage’ tomor­row.

A tree­house, the net, and a skyraft were cleared of occu­pants. Tun­nel teams con­tin­ue to work through the night to clear the under­ground defences.

The 26 peo­ple held and charged over the last two days have all been released on bail, and are charged with either breach of the peace or sec­tion 68(1) of the Crim­i­nal Jus­tice and Pub­lic Order Act 1994.

In sol­i­dar­i­ty with the Main­shill Sol­i­dar­i­ty Camp, Raven­struther coal rail ter­mi­nal was shut down for up to five hours this morn­ing as a pro­tes­tor locked on to a dig­ger.

It is still easy to get onto site so come down and sup­port the Main­shill crew from the inside or do some sup­port work from the out­side.

European protests to stop bulldozers on uncontacted tribe’s land

26 Jan­u­ary 2010
Pro­tes­tors gath­ered in Lon­don, Madrid and Paris today to oppose the destruc­tion of land belong­ing to one of the world’s last uncon­tact­ed tribes.

26 Jan­u­ary 2010
Pro­tes­tors gath­ered in Lon­don, Madrid and Paris today to oppose the destruc­tion of land belong­ing to one of the world’s last uncon­tact­ed tribes.

The pro­tes­tors stood out­side the Paraguayan embassies in Madrid and Lon­don hold­ing plac­ards read­ing, ‘Save the Ayoreo.’ The Ayoreo-Toto­biegosode are los­ing their for­est to a Brazil­ian com­pa­ny bull­doz­ing it to graze cat­tle for beef.

In Paris, a let­ter was hand­ed in to UNESCO’s head office express­ing their con­cern for the Toto­biegosode. The for­est being destroyed by the cat­tle-ranch­ers is part of a UNESCO ‘bios­phere reserve’, but despite pleas from the Toto­biegosode to stop the destruc­tion UNESCO has yet to respond.

The com­pa­ny, Yaguarete Pora S.A., recent­ly won Survival’s ‘Green­wash­ing Award 2010’ for its deci­sion to cre­ate a ‘nature reserve’ on the Totobiegosode’s land while destroy­ing thou­sands of hectares of their for­est. Yaguarete denies it is act­ing ille­gal­ly and claims the land it is destroy­ing does not belong to the Toto­biegosode, despite the fact that many stud­ies prove it belongs to them and a legal claim made by the Toto­biegosode is based on one of those stud­ies.

See the company’s defor­esta­tion plans.

Satel­lite pho­tos clear­ly show the destruc­tion of the Totobiegosode’s for­est. They are the only uncon­tact­ed tribe in the world los­ing their land to beef.

Sur­vival direc­tor, Stephen Cor­ry, said today, ‘Peo­ple all over the world are begin­ning to wake up to what is hap­pen­ing to the Toto­biegosode. Paraguay risks being more famous for this tragedy than any­thing else.’

Nukes not the answerAnti-nuclear activists dis­rupt Par­lia­men­tary Select Com­mit­tee
27.1.2010

This morn­ing in West­min­ster, dur­ing the Depart­ment of Ener­gy and Cli­mate Change Par­lia­men­tary Select Com­mit­tee on the pro­posed nuclear and oth­er ener­gy Nation­al Pol­i­cy State­ments, two anti-nuclear activists stood and unfurled a ban­ner in the cen­tre of the com­mit­tee room read­ing “Local Democ­ra­cy Dumped.” The ban­ner also fea­tured radi­a­tion sym­bols and drums of radioac­tive waste. A third activist hand­ed out brief­in­gs on why they believe nuclear pow­er is unac­cept­able and an inap­pro­pri­ate tech­nol­o­gy for tack­ing cli­mate change. The three activists were tak­en away and detained inside the House of Com­mons, along with a forth man who was tak­ing pho­tographs. The four were held for over two hours for alleged breach­es of the House reg­u­la­tions, before being released and banned from the Par­lia­men­tary estate for the rest of the day.

Rep­re­sen­ta­tives of ener­gy giants EDF, E.ON and RWE npow­er and of the Asso­ci­a­tion of Elec­tric­i­ty Pro­duc­ers were giv­ing evi­dence before the com­mit­tee of MPs. The pro­test­ers were high­light­ing the lack of local democ­ra­cy asso­ci­at­ed with the new fast-track plan­ning process, which will be used to silence dis­sent­ing local voic­es on major infra­struc­ture projects such as new nuclear pow­er sta­tions and nuclear waste dumps.

Lon­don Con­fer­ence Protest Expos­es Nuclear Green­wash
26.1.2010

A group of nine anti-nuclear cam­paign­ers staged a two-hour protest out­side the Nuclear New Build Con­fer­ence in cen­tral Lon­don this morn­ing in protest at indus­try attempts to paint nuclear pow­er as a “green” tech­nol­o­gy and win pub­lic sup­port for new nuclear reac­tors.

Stand­ing out­side the Guo­man Hotel adja­cent to Char­ing Cross rail­way sta­tion in the morn­ing rush hour dressed in white over­alls and masks, the pro­test­ers dis­played a large ban­ner read­ing “Nuclear Pow­er is Not the Answer to Cli­mate Chaos”, hand­ed out leaflets and detailed brief­in­gs explain­ing why they believe nuclear pow­er to be a false solu­tion to cli­mate change and detail­ing oth­er prob­lems with this form of ener­gy. Dur­ing the demon­stra­tion, the con­fer­ence’s keynote speak­er, for­mer ener­gy min­is­ter Mal­colm Wicks MP, exchanged views on nuclear pow­er and ener­gy pol­i­cy with one of the cam­paign­ers.

The Depart­ment of Ener­gy and Cli­mate Change is cur­rent­ly under­tak­ing a pub­lic con­sul­ta­tion on its draft nuclear Nation­al Pol­i­cy State­ment (NPS). Once this is approved, deci­sions on new nuclear reac­tors will be left to an unelect­ed quan­go called the Infra­struc­ture Plan­ning Com­mis­sion, with no fur­ther oppor­tu­ni­ty for local objec­tions to be heard.
The Gov­ern­ment is keen to push through a new gen­er­a­tion of cost­ly and high­ly con­tro­ver­sial nuclear reac­tors, despite wide­spread oppo­si­tion and the lack of any long-term solu­tion for over 50 years’ worth of high lev­el radioac­tive waste from exist­ing reac­tors. Cam­paign­ers are con­cerned that the high cost of build­ing new reac­tors would divert essen­tial invest­ment from renew­able and decen­tralised ener­gy and ener­gy effi­cien­cy mea­sures. They say that new reac­tors take too long to build and would not in any case make a sig­nif­i­cant con­tri­bu­tion towards meet­ing the UK’s car­bon emis­sion reduc­tion tar­gets. They also remain con­cerned about the health effects of radioac­tive emis­sions, such as the can­cer and leukaemia clus­ters found near nuclear pow­er sta­tions, as indi­cat­ed by the 2007 Ger­man-gov­ern­ment spon­sored KiKK study, and the risk of a ter­ror­ist attack or cat­a­stroph­ic Cher­nobyl-type reac­tor melt­down. A for­mer direc­tor of the Fors­mark nuclear plant in Swe­den said of an inci­dent at the site in 2006: “It was pure luck that there was not a melt­down.”

Daniel Vies­nik, 35, a Lon­don-based activist, said “The nuclear industry’s long his­to­ry of secre­cy, cov­er-ups and shod­dy and dan­ger­ous prac­tices stretch­es back over fifty years. It wants us to believe that a leop­ard can change its spots, but the only thing that real­ly seems to change is the indus­try’s PR tac­tics.”

Ian Mills, 44, a long-term anti-nuclear activist from Chip­pen­ham, Wilt­shire said, “Nuclear pow­er is a dirty, dan­ger­ous and expen­sive dis­trac­tion from the major invest­ment need­ed for a rad­i­cal tran­si­tion to a safe and sus­tain­able low-car­bon future and green indus­try, based on more mod­est con­sump­tion, ener­gy effi­cien­cy and con­ser­va­tion, and renew­able and decen­tralised ener­gy.”

Mell Har­ri­son, 38, East­ern Region CND’s cam­paigns offi­cer, who lives near Sizewell nuclear pow­er sta­tion in Suf­folk, said: “It is frus­trat­ing that we are not includ­ed in the talks hap­pen­ing at the con­fer­ence, espe­cial­ly as the ener­gy needs of the UK con­cerns us all. A seat at the con­fer­ence costs over £1300 and the future costs if new nuclear goes ahead are far greater. Sure­ly now it is time for the nuclear indus­try to be open and account­able? But yet again as we have seen time and time again, all the ‘real’ talk goes on behind closed doors.’ Mell added ’ This protest is just the start- we need real solu­tions to cli­mate change — not nuclear green wash.’
