Relatives of Beslan Victims End Protest in South Russia
Created: 24.01.2005 13:59 MSK (GMT +3), Updated: 13:59
MSK, 14 hours 27 minutes ago
Families of victims of the Beslan school hostage massacre have suspended their blockade of a major highway in southern Russia after being promised a meeting with a top aide to President Vladimir Putin, organizers said yesterday. The protesters closed the Beslan-Vladikavkaz federal highway for two days but have now ended their demonstration, Zarina Cherchesova of Alania TV told Ekho Moskvy. This came late Saturday night after a deal was struck, whereby the Alania republican TV station will show the demonstration and carry a statement to the republic's parliament demanding an extraordinary session to consider holding a referendum. The protesters say they do not intend to drop their political demands. Meanwhile, the Russian president's representative in the South Federal District, Dmitriy Kozak, has promised to meet a group of mothers who lost their children in September's act of terrorism within the next few days. A large tent blocking the road was taken down late Saturday and by yesterday all of the approximately 150 protesters had dispersed, Rada Maliyeva, a spokeswoman for the local Teacher's Committee group which helped organize the demonstration, told reporters. The protesters were demanding the resignation of the top official in the region, North Ossetia President Alexander Dzasokhov, whom they accuse of poorly handling the crisis last fall, and the opening of an international investigation into the tragedy. They blocked the key road for three days and agreed to disperse only after being told that Putin's representative for the north Caucasus, Dmitry Kozak, would travel to Beslan to hear their grievances. Maliyeva said the protesters could decide to reinstate their blockade if their demand for a vote of
no-confidence in Dzasokhov and for officials to be held accountable for the massacre were not satisfied. The deaths occurred as a result of a chaotic battle between Russian and security forces and about 30 hostage-takers that erupted after more than 1,200 children and adults had been held in the school by pro-Chechen militants for three days.

Sabotage for defence of trees
Published 1st of November 2004 24th of October Commando Jeffrey Luers together with inhabitants of the city of Zhukovsky of Moscow region organised an action of ecological sabotage. Activists trespassed to construction site of city stadium and spiked some 60 trees marked to be cut, they left signs "trees are spiked, cutting down is a danger for life!" behind them. Participators of the action ask not to danger workers and to hold back from cutting down spiked trees. Corruption of the city administration and lack of interest to local opinion pushed activists to radical action. City inhabitants appealed repetedly to local administration in order to save green areas and to stop construction in the center of the city, but they were ignored. Last drop was cutting down birch grove in area of school number 7, which was once planted to commemorate those pilots and cosmonauts which made the city famous. Activists believe, that actions speak louder than words, and make it known to inhabitants of the city, journalists, representatives of the city administration and bosses of the construction companies, that they are prepared to fight for environment by any means, which does not harm life.
Relatives of Detained Radicals Protest in Moscow

Relatives and friends of members of the National Bolshevik party held a rally near the office of the Prosecutor General's Office on Monday. 39 members of the party were detained after an invasion of the presidential administration's office on Dec. 14. Several dozen people took part in the rally including representatives of the organization For Human Rights. No National Bolshevik party flags or other signs were seen, the Grani.Ru website reported. The rally members held up posters with slogans "Happy New 1937 Year" (referring to the year of mass Stalinist political repressions), "Free Our Children," and pictures of the detained youths. The head of the human rights organization, Lev Ponomarev, was quoted by the website as saying it is possible to "get the detainees out of the prison only by joint efforts". He called for all people who are not indifferent to take part in their demonstration. The rights organization is attempting to draw the Russian authorities' attention to unjust court sentences, illegal detention and other human rights violations. The party members occupied an office in the presidential administration office, hung their flags out of a window and a poster calling on Russian president Vladimir Putin to resign. They also distributed leaflets with a similar demand. They have been placed in various prisons, and a young woman was taken to the hospital after suffering concussion during her arrest, the website reported. The detainees are charged with damaging property, vandalism and forced seizure of power. They could face up to 20 years in prison. On Dec. 20, seven members of the same party were sentenced to five years in prison each for occupying the building of the Russian Health Ministry in August.

IRELAND: NAZI BEHEADED!
*Anti-fascists behead statue of Russell
http://www.unison.ie/irish_independent/stories.php3?ca=9&si=1313994&issue_id=11895
*JIM CUSACK
ANTI-FASCIST youths are believed to be responsible for breaking the head and right arm of the statue of the IRA Chief of Staff and Nazi collaborator Sean Russell in a Dublin park. The head and right arm were removed from the statue in Fairview on Thursday night. It had previously been vandalised by communists in the Fifties as the original statue erected by Sinn Fein after the Second World War was raised in a Nazi-style salute. In a statement admitting responsibility, the people behind the incident referred to the fact that Sinn Fein's MEP Mary Lou McDonald had "paid homage" to Russell in a ceremony in October last year. The statement said: "As Europe prepares to commemorate the liberation of the Auschwitz death camp 60 years ago, citizens of this state can no longer tolerate the shameful presence of a memorial to the Nazi collaborator Sean Russell in a public park in our nation's capital city. "Six million Jews, hundreds of thousands of political dissidents, homosexuals, Roma people, Soviet prisoners of war and the disabled were put to death by the Fascist hate machine that overran and terrified Europe from 1939-1945. Sean Russell, the IRA chief of staff was one of the many nationalist fanatics who looked to Adolf Hitler for political and military support in the IRA's quest to reunify Ireland at the point of the bayonets of the Gestapo. "Russell sought to overthrow the government of Eamon De Valera by fomenting terror and sabotage in the shipyards and munitions factories of Northern Ireland. "In Belfast, IRA volunteers were ordered to help the Luftwaffe bomb their own city at the cost of nearly 2,000 dead and thousands made homeless. "At the Wannsee conference, the infamous Nazi gathering that planned the 'Final Solution', the Jewish community in Ireland was marked down for annihilation. Having freed Ireland from British rule, the Nazis expected their collaborators in Sinn Fein and the IRA to help them round up Dublin's Jews and ship them off to Auschwitz. That was the price Sean Russell was prepared to pay to end partition. "Luckily for the honour and welfare of the Irish people, Russell died on a German U-Boat in August 1940 on his way home to carry out the orders of his Nazi masters. "This year Sinn Fein again openly paid homage to the traitor Russell at his statue in Fairview Park with speeches extolling his 'revolutionary' fervour and patriotism from Dublin MEP Mary Lou McDonald and veteran IRA terrorist Brian Keenan."
*Statue of Nazi ally vandalised*
*Henry McDonald
Sunday January 2, 2005
The Observer <http://www.observer.co.uk>*
An unnamed group in Dublin claimed responsibility last night for vandalising the statue of an IRA leader linked to the Nazis in the Second World War. The group said it had severed the head and right arm of the statue in Dublin's Fairview Park in memory of the victims of the Holocaust. They said that as Europe prepares to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the liberation of the Nazi death camps, they could no longer tolerate a statue in honour of Sean Russell. Russell was commanding officer of the IRA during the Second World War and conducted a campaign of assassination and sabotage in both Britain and Ireland, aimed at damaging the war effort against Hitler. Although an open ally of the Nazis, Russell is still honoured by the modern IRA and Sinn Fein. In September 2003, Sinn Fein MEP Mary Lou McDonald spoke at a rally to commemorate Russell in the north Dublin park. The same rally was also addressed by veteran IRA man Brian Keenan. In a statement released this weekend, the group claiming to be behind the attack on the statue said: 'Six million Jews, thousands of political dissidents, homosexuals, Roma people, Soviet prisoners of war and the disabled were put to death by the fascist hate machine that overran and terrified Europe from 1939 to 45. 'Sean Russell was one of many nationalist fanatics who looked to Hitler for political and military support in the IRA's quest to reunify Ireland at the point of the bayonets of the Gestapo. 'At the Wansee conference, the infamous Nazi gathering that planned the "Final Solution", the Jewish community in Ireland was marked down for annihilation. Having freed Ireland from British rule, the Nazis expected their collaborators to help them round up Dublin's Jews and ship them off to Auschwitz. That was the price Sean Russell was prepared to pay to end partition.'

Trident Ploughshares Protest At Arrival
Of HMS Victorious In Plymouth
Michal Lovejoy of Trident Ploughshares organised a well turned out
number of people considering the short notice (around 20 but not one single
CND member) to protest at the arrival of HMS Victorious into Devonport
Dockyard Plymouth yesterday, Sunday 16th January 2005. There were
banners saying things such as 'Victorious Not Welcome Here' and 'No Nuclear
Weapons' , and placards with 'Reclaim The River Tamar - Scrap Trident,
End Poverty and Stop Pollution'. This marks a good start to the New
Year concerning nuclear protests in Plymouth for 2005. PS thanks for the
apology Ruth (CND Press Office) for not mentioning Trident Ploughshares
in your press releases, but it will happen again one way or another,
and we have come to expect it as a matter of course now.
Love And Peace from Sandra.

Rallies mobilize protesters, not Skinheads
Hundreds show support for diversity in Portland, but a hate event
that motivated them to gather fails to occur
Sunday, January 09, 2005
FRED LEESON
On a day when Skinheads failed to appear, an estimated 1,000
Southwest Portlanders turned out Saturday at two nearby events to
encourage diversity and hate prevention.
Mayor Tom Potter and a constellation of political, religious and
neighborhood leaders addressed an overflow "unity rally" at the
Multnomah Center, while another 300 people at Gabriel Park protested
against hate.
The demonstrators mobilized after a local Skinhead group announced
plans to gather Saturday afternoon at Gabriel Park to distribute
anti-Jewish literature in Southwest Portland neighborhoods. But no
Skinheads showed up.
About 50 Portland police officers patrolled in and around the park
but found no disruption. Portland police Sgt. Brian Schmautz said
officers stopped one car on a minor traffic violation. Police
arrested the driver for failure to display a license, and the car's
other two occupants then walked back to the community center by
Gabriel Park and reportedly shouted, "White power," Schmautz said.
During the 90-minute Multnomah Center rally, speakers urged the
packed house to respect diversity and free speech, but to be
vigilant against hate.
Portland City Commissioner Sam Adams said the line between free
speech and hate is crossed when someone urges violence against those
they oppose.
Potter, ending his first week as mayor, said the large turnout was
the reason he loved Portland and Portlanders.
While Potter received a partial standing ovation, a larger ovation
came later for Shahiar Ahmed, president of the Bilal Mosque
Association, who teased Potter for omitting Muslims while noting
Portland's diversity.
"This is home, warts and all," Ahmed said. "Hate is but an event.
What we need to work on is the ambience that creates hate."
Jimmy Brown, director of the Portland Office of Neighborhood
Involvement, said hate literature has been distributed at times in
Portland's southwest suburbs.
"When they do come -- and they will come -- we will be prepared to
stand up the way we are today," he said.
Last year, the city of Tigard held a rally to oppose hate literature
that was being left on doorsteps and lawns in Tigard neighborhoods.
The Tualatin Valley Skins, which took credit for the leafleting,
promised to attend that rally but never showed up.
Police and gang enforcement units in Washington County have said
they think there are no more than a handful of members of the
Tualatin Valley Skins.
Jim Ramm, who heads Tualatin Valley Skins and who had called for the
anti-Jewish leafleting drive from Gabriel Park on Saturday,
apparently stayed home.
"The event was postponed until next week," Ramm said via telephone.
He said the delay was necessary because an Internet server firm shut
down his site and he wants a new Internet address to put on
pamphlets.
A man identifying himself as Ramm, however, called The Oregonian
Saturday morning to say that the rally would continue as planned and
that representatives from eight other racist groups would attend.
Anti-hate protesters in Gabriel Park included members of the Freedom
Socialist Party, Radical Women and the Portland State University
Green Party. They called themselves the Ad-Hoc Coalition to Protest
the Tualatin Valley Skins.
They marched around the park chanting, "Hey, hey, ho, ho, white
supremacy has got to go," and, "Stop the Nazis and the KKK, civil
rights are here to stay."
Protester Eudee Gutierrez, 15, of Northeast Portland said he came to
the park to represent Native Americans, who he thinks should get
more involved in the community.
"I don't like Nazis," he said. "Do you?"
At one point, about 10 self-described punkers, anarchists
and "underground workers" stood atop the highest hill in the park,
where they planted a red and black flag.
Patrick Harrington of The Oregonian contributed to this report.

TASER DEATH PROTESTED
Close to one hundred people gathered Saturday evening in front of
the Collier County Sheriff's Office headquarters in East Naples,
Florida to protest the agency's handling of a traffic stop that
ended in the death of a 19-year-old Fort Myers man, Christopher
Hernandez. Hernandez was hit twice by a Taser stun gun last month in
North Naples before he was taken into custody and died nearly eight
hours later on Dec. 28. "We want people to know there's been an
injustice," said Sheena Torres-Nunez, 20, a cousin of
Hernandez. "Things just like this have happened in the past. People
need to know about it. An innocent man is dead." Family members,
many of them from Fort Myers, were wearing T-shirts with his photo
on the front. They described Hernandez, who graduated from North
Fort Myers High, as friendly, outgoing and not violent.
Hernandez had been at Club Zero on Immokalee Road and was a
passenger in a car that was weaving through the parking lot, nearly
hitting people walking to their cars. After a short chase, deputies
say, Hernandez got out of the car and confronted them. They said
they had to subdue him using a Taser.
There were a few tense moments when protesters of Everglades
restoration in Collier County showed up in pickup trucks with dozens
of Confederate flags visible. They had protested earlier as part of
an all-terrain vehicle rally. Some of the Hernandez protesters -
most of the coalition's turnout was black - turned their backs to
the Confederate flags, while others wondered why the group had
showed up at their protest. Others shook hands with the ATV group,
who honked their horns in solidarity.
The demonstration came the same day a Pensacola intruder died after
being shocked twice by Escambia County deputies. An autopsy has been
scheduled to determine Carl Trotter's cause of death. Sources:

NOT MY PRESIDENT, NOT MY WAR! THIS WHOLE SYSTEM IS ROTTEN TO THE CORE!
In solidarity with the billions around the world who are being oppressed under the Bush agenda, The Internet Liberation Front has hacked and defaced six Republican websites who push forward the sick and violent ideology of warfare, capitalism, and profit over people.
The will of the people was not expressed in these elections. Imperialist war, tax cuts for the rich, and ecological destruction are not in the interest of working people or the stability of our global society. The bush administration are rich lying thieves, these inaugurations are a joke, and the whole system is corrupt.
We will not be their slaves and let them get away with murder. Activists and hackers alike are rising up to resist the Bush administration using street protest, sabatage, and hacktivism. You won't hear about it on their televisions cause the revolution is in the streets!
The massive counter-inauguration protests in DC is only the beginning. Expect four more years of resistance to the U.S. war machine. Hacktivists of the world, unite!
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
January 18, 2005
To coincide with the massive protests in DC against the inauguration of George W. Bush, the Internet Liberation Front has launched a hacktivist campaign against Republican websites. Six websites were hacked and defaced with a statement against the Bush agenda of war and corporate cronyism.
"The will of the people was not expressed in these elections. Imperialist war, tax cuts for the rich, and ecological destruction are not in the interest of working people or the stability of our global society.", the hackers wrote in a statement posted on the websites belonging to the Arizona Young Republicans, Students4Freedom.com, CollegeConservative.com, Freedominion.ca, RepublicanFirst.com, and Freedominstitute.ca.
The hackers, calling themselves the Internet Liberation Front, has done no damage to the systems and do not believe hacktivism to be a violent tactic. "Using direct action techniques such as website defacements and financial disruption, 'hacktivists' are able to put pressure and accountability on politicians to make progressive and revolutionary changes".
You can see a mirror of the defacement at http://www.freewebs.com/internetliberationfront/
You can contact us through all of the following emails: ilf at dcemail.com, intlibfront at doneasy.com, and ilf at bolt.com
What is the Internet Liberation Front(ILF)?
The ILF is a decentralized tactic used by politically motivated hackers to commit acts of electronic civil disobedience against corrupt corporations and governments. Using direct action techniques such as website defacements and financial disruption, 'hacktivists' are able to put pressure and accountability on politicians to make bring progressive and revolutionary changes.
We are not a specific group of people. We are a generation of hackers who feel indignation and want to build a world free from parasitic bosses and rulers. All who want to join the resistance movement are free to use the name ILF.
BIOTIC BAKERS BRIGADE STILL GOING STRONG
On December 6th, 2004, the Biotic Baking Brigade of Austin, Texas placed its first nomination for the Canary Awards of 2005 upon the face of John Aielli, host of KUT's morning show, Eclecticose (Austin's NPR affiliate). This honor was bestowed in order to illustrate the dangerous consequences of consolidating power into the hands of the few. Twenty years is a lengthy amount of time for anyone to hold a position-particularly one that involves four hours of access each weekday to the airwaves of a city. Quite simply, we intervened to save the listeners of Austin, Texas from having to listen to John Aielli be seduced by the illusion of his own power. John Aielli was nominated for this honor because he continually exploits the very pedestal upon which he sharpens his creative teeth; by bolstering the financial agendas of groups whose lifestyle and product positioning spectacle continue to dull our senses, John Aielli and his morning show continue to stifle the very mechanisms which afford the reception of his programming privilege. Furthermore, John Aielli trounced across the divide which necessarily segregates our audio experiences from our visual experiences. By intentionally disengaging from our collective folklore and showing his face on the south capitol steps to lead a "holiday sing along" it is only natural that an involuntary muscular contraction of the wrist occurred. We are all only so fortunate that it was a cream pie and not a bowl of warm gravy which too was present to assist in John Aielli's nomination.
Cast your vote for the 2005 Canary nomination pool

Protester raises ire of mining chief
Conservationists have thrown a pie into the face of a mining boss in the south-west of Western Australia. Police allege Chris Farnsworth hit Cable Sands general manager Collis Thorp in the face with a pie outside an energy and resources forum in Bunbury before spraying a nearby businessman with green dye. Mr Thorp used his presentation to industry leaders to launch a scathing attack on opponents of the mine. "The so-called non-violent action of the protest movement should also be talked about," he said. "For those who might have seen it this morning I was assaulted again this morning with a large pie of human excrement thrown in my face. "So these are the lovely peaceful protesters. Guys, I can assure you for those who come into confrontation with these people they are not peaceful protesters." Mr Farnsworth has rejected the claims, saying the pie was a coffee mouse. In defence of his non-violent direct action, he said "I must also take exception to the word 'thrown'. I prefer to regard the mousse as 'positively positioned' rather than thrown."

Several Military Recruiting Vehicles Burned In Recent Days
(from GI Special)
December 07, 2004 Silver Spring, Md. (AP)
Fire investigators in three area counties are trying to determine
whether government passenger cars used by military recruiters are being
targeted for arson.
The three latest cases involved cars authorized for Army use that were
parked outside of a recruiting office in the 8,200 block of Georgia
Avenue in Silver Spring. They were burned early Monday.
The case is similar to an incident that occurred outside of a military
recruiting office in Fairfax last Monday. The Washington Post reports
that a car parked near a recruiting station in 7,600 block of Richmond
Highway was burned. Another vehicle was burned early Friday in the
13,900 block of Lee-Jackson Memorial Highway.
