RBC Olympics Tar Sands

Wed, 24 Feb 2010 19:07 GMT

Rainforest Action Network added a voiceover to Royal Bank of Canada's new "Flame Trail" Olympics commercial. This narrative discusses RBC's lead financing of the dirtiest oil project on Earth- the Alberta tar sands. Since 2007, Royal Bank of Canada has backed more than $16.9 billion (USD) in loans to companies operating in the Alberta tar sands—more than any other bank. Expansion of the tar sands is trampling the rights of Indigenous peoples, destroying globally significant ecosystems and exponentially increasing Canada's carbon emissions. • Learn more at: http://www.ran.org/tarsands • Tell RBC to halt financing of the tar sands: http://ga3.org/campaign/RBC_Letter_Go... • See the original RBC ad: http://adsoftheworld.com/media/tv/rbc... • This transformative remix work constitutes a fair-use of any copyrighted material as provided for in Section 107 of the US copyright law.

The Tar Sands Oilympics

Wed, 24 Feb 2010 07:40 GMT

The London Tar Sands Network and London Rising Tide hold the inaugural Tar Sands Oilympics in Trafalgar Square, London. Corporate contenders RBS, Shell and newcomer BP compete for the chance to wreak environmental havoc in their scramble for Canada's tar sands. In the process they will lay waste to vast areas of boreal forest, poison First Nations communities and push the planet towards catastrophic climate change. The race for the most polluting fossil fuel resource on the planet is on. Forget the Winter Olympics in Canada, the real competition for the future of the planet is here.

Tar Sands Demonstration in Copenhagen

Olympics - Heart Attack Report

Sat, 20 Feb 2010 06:34 GMT

This is a more open view of the recent violence at the Olympics protests. It helps to highlight how corporate media misrepresents, vier camera angles and choices of shots. On February 13, 2010 the Heart Attack March took to the streets of Vancouver aimed at blocking the vital transportation routes for the Winter Olympics, or as the organizers put it, "blocking the arteries of capitalism." Protesters largely overwhelmed Vancouver police until riot squads moved in to suppress the demonstrators. This video shows scenes from the day and talks to participants about what happened and why they were on the street.

This is the first in a series of short films about the DFID in India, shot by Eshwarappa M and Richard Whittell during a trip to parts of the country affected by British money. Their experience meeting people whose lives have been directly affected by DFID activities did not tally with the claims made for British aid by the DFID's publicity.

2010 Olympic Resistance Gets Wild

Sun, 14 Feb 2010 16:56 GMT

More info: no2010.com | olympicresistance.net | vancouver.mediacoop.ca | 2010.mediacoop.ca Angry Bystander: “You don't have the support of the public” Calm Anarchist: “We are the public” From yesterday's anarchist presence in the “family friendly” Take Back Our City march directed against the Olympic opening ceremonies to this morning's anarchist-organized Heart Attack directed at blocking road access to the first day of Olympic games, the anarchists and especially black bloc contingent have been a strong force of resistance here in the Unceded Coast Salish Territory. That's often true at such convergences. What's especially striking here, though, is how disciplined and strategically–even politically–effective they've been, and how much respect they've earned through their organizing efforts leading up to this point as well as their actions on the streets.

Vancouver Activists Greet Winter Olympics Opening Ceremony with People's Summit, Protest

Sat, 13 Feb 2010 14:31 GMT

The 2010 Winter Olympic Games are opening today in Vancouver. Large-scale protests are planned over the weekend. The Olympic Resistance Network has organized a people's summit to coincide with the Games' opening ceremonies. Franklin Lopez of the Vancouver Media Co-op filed this report. JUAN GONZALEZ: Well, the 2010 Winter Olympic Games are opening in Vancouver today. Large-scale protests are planned over the weekend. The Olympics Resistance Network has organized a people's summit to coincide with the Games' opening ceremonies. Franklin Lopez of the Vancouver Media Co-op filed this report. FRANKLIN LOPEZ: Vancouver, BC is abuzz with the Olympic fever. But there is something a little bit different this time around. What started out as hundreds of local people organizing against the Olympic bid has turned into an international convergence of thousands coming from around the world preparing to confront the 2010 Games. HARJAP GREWAL: It's a unique moment in history, because a call for a convergence normally happens at the G8, WTO and World Bank summits that happen around the world, and this time organizers have actually called for a demonstration against the Olympics industry. We don't see the Olympics industry as being that much different than these other institutions that are unaccountable to the people of the world. The IOC is like the WTO. The IOC is like the IMF, is like the World Bank. And it encourages the transfer of wealth from public hands to private pockets. FRANKLIN LOPEZ: That was Harjap Grewal of the Olympic Resistance Network. PROTESTERS: No homes, no peace, no racist police! REPORTER: Even though the Anti-Poverty Committee has demonstrated its pension for violence in the past. FRANKLIN LOPEZ: Though demonized in the media, the Olympic Resistance Network is getting their message out, as the anti-Olympic movement grows. A recent poll shows that a landslide of British Columbians think too much is being spent on the two-week sporting event. Here's Harsha Walia of the Olympic Resistance Network. HARSHA WALIA: We see that the Games have been overrun with a budget of over $7 billion; indigenous lands continue to be exploited and stolen, with ski resort development all across British Columbia; increasing poverty and criminalization of the poor in the Downtown Eastside; a massive cutback in public spending; and an increasing budget for policing and militarization here in Vancouver. We have $1 billion that are being sunk into a military-police state in the lead-up to the Olympics. FRANKLIN LOPEZ: But protesters are looking beyond the escalating budget. Their primary slogan is “No Olympics on stolen Native land,” which calls attention to the unresolved land struggles unique to the region. Gord Hill at No2010.com explains. GORD HILL: Well, here in BC, in particular, it refers to the history of colonialism here in the province and the lack of treaties that the government was required by its own laws to make in its western expansion across Canada. So when they got to BC, which was just forming itself as a colony at that time under the British, they started to make treaties. The first ones, they're known as the Douglas Treaties, after the first governor. And he made a number of small treaties on Vancouver Island. And then, after that, they just stopped the process and just imposed government control over all these indigenous lands here in the province. It's illegal, and it's actually immoral, because they were bound by their own laws to make treaties before they settled on any land or any business took place on sovereign indigenous land. FRANKLIN LOPEZ: Indigenous peoples make up a disproportionate amount of the population of Vancouver's Downtown Eastside, the neighborhood critics argue has been most affected by the Games. Vancouver and Whistler are under siege by increasing police and military forces in town to secure the Olympic Games. Poor people, anti-Olympic activists and supporters have been harassed and threatened by the police, border guards and intelligence agents over the last year. Here's sportswriter Dave Zirin. DAVE ZIRIN: My beef with the Olympics is that, everywhere they go, you see the same three things. You see police repression. You see budget-busting graft. And you see hardcore gentrification and displacement. And that's true no matter where the Olympics go. Like most people know about how this went down in Beijing. But it's not a China issue, it's not a Beijing issue. It's an Olympics issue. It's wherever they go, they make these demands of a given community. And I don't think any community should have to deal with that to host a sporting event. FRANKLIN LOPEZ: The Olympics are big business for the International Olympic Committee and its corporate partners, which include Coca-Cola, McDonald's, Royal Bank of Canada and Chevrolet. This is an unprecedented mobilization in Vancouver, and organizers here expect resistance to the Olympic industry to carry far beyond February 2010.

Olympic Resistance Network Press Scrum

Mon, 08 Feb 2010 07:35 GMT

Schedule of upcoming anti-Olympic activities available at: http://olympicresistance.net/content/schedule == Comprehensive list of daily and issue-specific media availability: http://olympicresistance.net/content/media February 3 2010, Vancouver Unceded Coast Salish Territories ? Over the past three years, the Olympic Resistance Network has coordinated anti-Olympics efforts in Vancouver and across the country. Due to a growing and vibrant movement to oppose the Olympic Games, VANOC and government officials are no longer able to host large public Olympic events in Vancouver without being shamed. During the RBC and Coca-Cola sponsored Olympic Torch relay, protesters in over thirty cities, towns, and Indigenous communities brought forward their message of ?No Olympics on Stolen Native Land?, ?Get your torch off our land, we don?t want your Olympic scam? and ?2010 Homes not 2010 Games?. In many instances, activists successfully disrupted the Torch Relay, forcing delays and route cancellations, with at least thirteen arrests associated with anti-Torch related actions. Anti-Olympic activists note that the Olympics are not simply about the athletes. According to Harjap Grewal, ?With public funds invested by all levels of government nearing $7 billion, VANOC and their corporate cronies are escalating their propaganda to the world and international media about the positive legacy of the Games. The reality is that residents are increasingly disenchanted with the Games and we will not be silenced despite harassment and intimidation by the Vancouver Integrated Security Unit and ongoing attacks on our basic civil liberties.? On Thursday February 4, representatives from the Olympic Resistance Network and allied groups will be hosting a press scrum. The Olympic Resistance Network notes: ?While Olympic corporate sponsors are getting bailed out, Indigenous lands are being stolen, people are becoming homeless, thousands are losing their jobs and access to public services, the environment is being destroyed, and civil liberties are being eroded with almost a billion dollars sunk into surveillance. This negative Olympic legacy is turning into a growing anti-Olympic legacy of resistance across the country.? According to Gord Hill, a member of the Kwakwaka?wakw nation, ?The 2010 Winter Olympics are taking place on unceded Indigenous land. As a result of the negative social and environmental impacts of the 2010 Olympics on Indigenous peoples our struggle against colonization has only increased, which poses a significant threat to Canada and Canada?s image.?

Fri, 08 Jan 2010 09:10 GMT

The famous song, Va pensiero by Giuseppe Verdi was first performed in 1842 when the Northern part of Italy was under the thumb of the Austrian empire. It is a song about the plight of the Jews as they are assaulted, conquered, and subsequently exiled from their homeland by the Babylonian King Nabucco (Nebuchadnezzar). The song has become a plaintive cry for freedom for all occupied people and is dedicated to the Palestinian fight for justice, from the Occupied West Bank to besieged Gaza.

The prototypes include: The Swarm, The Double Double Trouble, and The Machine, which will take to the streets on the 16th December '09! funbetweenyourlegs.info Everything we take for granted: the weekend, gay rights, contraception, women wearing trousers, the right to strike, to form a union, the abolition of slavery. Everything was won by disobedience, fought for by people who refused and resisted, claimed back from those in power. Their disobedience was a gift to our future. Every form of rebellion we know, from protest marches to lock-ons, barricades to boycotts, factory occupations to street parties, super glue actions to climate camps was invented, dreamt up and designed. More often than not, by a small group of people huddled together, laughing and creatively conspiring with each other; engineering the art of resistance. The Laboratory of Insurrectionary Imagination and Climate Camp are plotting together to design and build a new tool of civil disobedience for the RECLAIM POWER mobilisations taking place in Copenhagen, during the UN climate summit in December. Made from hundreds of recycled bikes, The Bike Bloc will merge device of mass transportation and pedal powered resistance machine, postcapitalist bike gang and art bike carnival. Bike hackers, welders, climate campers, artists and engineers will be working together to design and build The Bike Bloc across two cities: Bristol (Arnolfini Gallery 15th 30th Nov.) and Copenhagen (4th- 18th Dec.) Come and take part, either designing and building the prototype in Bristol, putting together the real thing in Copenhagen or swarming with us on the day of civil disobedience on the 16th of December. *Put the fun between your legs, become the bike bloc.* For times and how to get involved: http://funbetweenyourlegs.info bikebloc@climatecamp.org.uk

The Tar Sands Blow

Sun, 29 Nov 2009 05:31 GMT

The Canadian Tar Sands is the world's largest, and dirtiest, energy project. Dirty oil sands crude generates as much as five times greenhouse gas as conventional oil. Yet, unless steps are taken by the U.S. and Canada, both countries will become irrevocably addicted to the dirtiest oil on earth. Totally lame.

H2Oil - trailer

Sun, 25 Oct 2009 04:23 GMT

In the vast, pristine forests of Western Canada, the ‘war for water' has already begun… Thanks to Alberta's Athabasca oil sands, Canada is now the biggest oil supplier to the United States. A controversial billion-dollar industry is heavily invested in extracting crude from the tarry sands through a process so toxic it has become an international cause for concern. Four barrels of glacier-fed spring water are used to process each barrel of oil, then are dumped, laden with carcinogens, into leaky tailings ponds so huge they can be seen from space. Downstream, the people of Fort Chipewyan are already paying the price for what will be one of the largest industrial projects in history. When a local doctor raises the alarm about clusters of rare cancers, evidence mounts for industry and government cover-ups. In a time when wars are fought over oil and a crisis looms over access to clean fresh water, which resource is more precious? And what price are we willing to pay? — Gisèle Gordon. http://h2oildoc.com
