Would the Egyptians knock down the Pyramids for natural gas?

25-11-2006 00:15

Take a moment to imagine a cultural icon six times older than the Pyramids, eight times older than Stonehenge.

Imagine probably the earliest surviving rock carvings on this planet: close to a million images of ancient faces and the earliest Australian fauna, including the mighty Tasmanian tiger, spread throughout a group of small islands alongside the west coast of Australia.

This world treasure is in danger of being destroyed by industrial development.

Economic Values and Impending Collapse

23-11-2006 04:43

Foreboding has hit the ranks of private equity firms; try as they might to unload vast amounts of funds (monetary value is inextricably linked to the movement of those funds) they have been unable to spend/invest at a rate that would sustain value let alone increase real profits! The ‘healthy figures’ reflecting increased acquisitions/investments are on paper only – it ‘looks good’ at the moment!

News from Kebele social centre (Bristol)

14-11-2006 00:03

Kebele social centre in Easton, Bristol, remains (sadly) the only permanent radical volunteer run such centre in Bristol – that means no bosses and no paid staff. As we look forwards to the 11th anniversary of the founding of Kebele, we hope that readers & activists will go out and set up their own radical centre, in their part of town. Bristol needs not one, but many, long-term radical social centres, if we are to truly build an alternative to the dominance of the capitalist consumer culture and its destructive nature.

To celebrate our 11 years of dogged, often creative, activity and resistance, we’ve having a party – on 8 December. It’ll be a late one, with bands, dj’s, PA’s, cabaret, café. Full details to follow shortly.
