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.

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.

TEA PARTY - MARCH FOOTAGE WITH INTERVIEWS

Fri, 19 Feb 2010 09:10 GMT

From NewLeftMedia On 9.12.2009, we went to Washington DC to document the Tea Party protests against, well, a lot of things, including health insurance reform, the IRS, abortion, global warming, and our "socialist/communist/fascist/Nazi/Muslim " president, Barack Obama. Some of them called for a return to McCarthyism, while others called for Glenn Beck to run for office--indeed, it seemed the only thing that everyone agreed on was Fox News. VIEW OUR INTERVIEW B-ROLL HERE: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fevga9... This NEW LEFT MEDIA film was produced and edited by Chase Whiteside (interviewer) and Erick Stoll (camera operator). A NOTE ON CZARS: Some users have pointed out that White House "Czars" existed long before Ronald Reagan. As it turns out, Donald Nelson, appointed under FDR as a "Wartime Production Czar", was the first. The Republican Gov. of Colorado, John A. Love, was later appointed under Nixon as an "Energy Czar". We appreciate this correction, though such an oversight does not dilute our point. The current outcry against Czars is merely alarmist propaganda perpetuated by Glenn Beck and the rest of the right-wing media. JOIN OUR HEALTH CARE FOR AMERICA NOW! FACEBOOK GROUP: http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid... YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE: You can make a difference in the health care debate without leaving your bedroom. So stop typing that narcissistic Facebook status, pause your Mafia Wars game, and actually do something in reality to advance the cause you support on Facebook by calling your representative. This is so easy. Many people are timid about making phone calls, but a phone call to your representative now could save you a series of phone calls to an uncooperative insurance company in the future. Too lazy to look up your representative's number? This website makes it even easier--it will find the number, call it for you, and then call your cell phone to connect you. Tell your representative's office that you support comprehensive health care reform, and urge them to support the public option. http://tools.advomatic.com/8/hcn "We can do this.

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.

Typical vegetation in Malaysia is more woody than in South America and the parang is therefore optimized for a stronger chopping action.A parang has three different edges, the front is very sharp and used for skinning, the middle is wider and used for chopping, and the back end (near the handle) is very fine and used for carving.

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.?

On the 02-12-2009 Gordon Brown stood in Parliament and mocked David Cameron for his Eton education, days later Tessa Jowell stressed that the coming election would not focus on Class. Labour is scared of fighting an election on Class, their own links to a working class movement have been broken through years of Etonians and Ox-bridge scum dominating their party. Asking the population to pick a faction to rule their lives is an act of class warfare by the political class. Banking crises, murderous police, mass unemployment, shoddy housing and vast debt- all experienced in the plain sight of your vast wealth and power keeps us from bowing to you any more. This election will be fought on class grounds but not between a Tory Cambridge Student and a Labour Oxford Student, but between us and you.

Remember Palestine

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. Supporters from around the world marched on December 31, 2009 and January 1, 2010 to demand of their governments, "Break the siege on Gaza, let them live in peace and with dignity" credits: footage from: ISM PALESTINE NEVER BEFORE CAMPAIGN AL JAZEERA MACHSOM WATCH PRESS TV LONDON CODEPINK84 Haitham Al Katib Azibuddin Mballan Ourjourneytosmile pictures of only some of the GAZA FREEDOM MARCHERS, 31, December 2009 by PACIFISTS ALL OVER THE WORLD

People & Power - White Power USA

Thu, 07 Jan 2010 08:08 GMT

Almost a year ago the inauguration of President Barack Obama was hailed as a turning point in US race relations. The country was said to be entering a new era of post-racial politics, on the path to a future of greater diversity and tolerance. But while crowds flocked to Washington to witness the swearing in, others were refusing to join the party. Racially motivated threats against Obama rose to new heights in the first months of his presidency, with the US seeing nine high-profile race killings in 2009. Meanwhile white supremacist and neo-Nazi groups claim their membership is growing and that visits to their websites are increasing. Filmmakers Rick Rowley and Jacquie Soohen went inside the white nationalist movement to investigate. By http://english.aljazeera.net and http://bignoisefilms.org

To shoot an elephant_trailer

Sat, 26 Dec 2009 21:33 GMT

"(...) Afterwards, of course, there were endless discussions about the shooting of the elephant. The owner was furious, but he was only an Indian and could do nothing. Besides, legally I had done the right thing, for a mad elephant has to be killed, like a mad dog, if it's owner fails to control it". George Orwell “Shooting an elephant” was originally published in New Writing in 1948. George Orwell defined a way of witnessing Asia that still remains valid. "To shoot an elephant" is an eye witness account from The Gaza Strip. December 27th, 2008, Operation Cast Lead. 21 days shooting elephants. Urgent, insomniac, dirty, shuddering images from the only foreigners who decided and managed to stay embedded inside Gaza strip ambulances, with Palestinian civilians.

AMAZING SPEECH BY WAR VETERAN

Thu, 24 Dec 2009 06:17 GMT

Our real enemy is not the ones living in a distant land whose names or policies we don't understand; The real enemy is a system that wages war when it's profitable, the CEOs who lay us off our jobs when it's profitable, the Insurance Companies who deny us Health care when it's profitable, the Banks who take away our homes when it's profitable. Our enemies are not several hundred thousands away. They are right here in front of us - Mike Prysner The chain reaction of evil... wars producing more wars... must be broken, or we shall be plunged into the dark abyss of annihilation - Martin Luther King, Jr. If tyranny and oppression come to this land, it will be in the guise of fighting a foreign enemy... The loss of Liberty at home is to be charged to the provisions against danger, real or imagined, from abroad..." - James Madison

Naomi Klein on Secret climate deal, and the rich-poor divide over climate

Thu, 17 Dec 2009 16:15 GMT

Naomi Klein and Martin Khor on the Growing North-South Divide in Copenhagen over Kyoto, Climate Debt and Emission Targets The secret draft climate agreement leaked to The Guardian newspaper yesterday sets unequal limits on per capita carbon emissions for developed and developing countries in 2050. This means that people in rich countries would be permitted to emit nearly twice as much as those in poor countries. The document also proposes a $10 billion a year fund to help developing nations cut emissions and tackle the effects of climate change. But the fund is far smaller than what many delegates say is necessary to effectively combat the effects of climate change in the most vulnerable nations.
