The Hill of Tara { http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hill_of_Tara } in Ireland is being dug up and destroyed every day by a Government who seems to care more about a new motorway,the M3 { http://www.m3motorway.ie/ } then preserving a site which was once where in Celtic and Pre-Celtic times the High Kings of Ireland used have their castles . It is a beautiful place full of history and ancient spirit.It was where The Fianna fought their last battle and where Nuada the high King of The Tuatha De Danann { http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tuatha_D%C3%A9_Danann } had his castle.

Good morning !!..... I`m just gonna ask say 3 questions and well take your time and write whatever you want and feel ... First here`s something to chew on..... Here`s the statement by the Czech crews Here`s the message and I quote !!! "In regard of the fact that the situation around CzechTek isn't bearable anymore, the representatives of Czech freetekno community came to this radical decision:

This year (and very probably even never again) any action of the size and under the name CzechTek won't be realized.

"In regard of the fact that the situation around CzechTek isn't bearable anymore, the representatives of Czech freetekno community came to this radical decision:

This year (and very probably even never again) any action of the size and under the name CzechTek won't be realized.

And these are the reasons:
• the gradual abolition of original ideas of freetekno
• parasitic behavior of subjects not connected to the scene (including major part of visitors themselves)

This really is very important.

There are only 15 days left to register your objection to the 'Pay as you go' road tax - which closes to petitions on the 20th February 2007.

The petition is on the 10 Downing St website but they didn't tell anybody about it. Therefore at this time only 671,354 people have signed it so far and 750,000 signatures are required to stop them introducing it.

Once you've given your details (you don't have to give your full address, just house number and postcode will do), they will send you an email with a link in it. Once you click on that link, you'll have signed the petition.

Also the mobilization of the Leftwing against the G8-Summit already runs on full speed. Different alliances are founded,several nationwide meetings did take place, also with international participation and an approximate plan of action for the protests is already fixed. Already now there are numerous actions, which mobilize to the events of protest against the G8-summit. Because of the 100.000 expected demonstrators at the Main Manifestation in the Rostock City at 2nd of June 2007 the policeforces are preparing since some time their operation and security plan for the whole region and for Rostock. Here comes an overview over the conditions of the mobilization.

Independent film portrays Palestinian refugees in Lebanon
  A new Indymedia film addressing the situation of Palestinian refugees in Lebanon has been released.

The 22-minute film shows their lives in their camps and provides an opportunity for the refugees to share their experiences with the viewing audience. They discuss their miserable social, political and economic situation and reflect on their relationship to Palestine.

The footage of this video was filmed in the refugee camps of Shatila and Mar Elias (beside Beirut), Naher al-Bared (Trablous), Bourj ash-Shamali (Sour) and Ain al-Hilweh (Saida).

The film is ready for download with English subtitles at:

 THE CAMP IS INFILTRATED BY THE MAIL ON SUNDAY  . Taken from indymedia Ireland.  email     rossportsolidaritycamp@gmail.com

In new twist, campaign is now found 'guilty by dissassociation'

Last weekend saw the mainstream media continue its barrage against the Shell to Sea Campaign by selling the line of nasty outside protesters corrupting innocent, misguided locals. With radical activists joining the local community for the long haul, the Rossport Solidarity Camp's long-term presence has reduced the impact of these smears, so an article targeting the camp is a welcome development for both Shell and its Government.

The Spring of 2002 saw the 10th anniversary of the now legendary Castlemorton Free Festival, the biggest and most notorious free party ever to take place in the UK. The anniversary was celebrated on Jubilee weekend with a massive Teknival on Steart Beach in Somerset. At least 50 rigs and 10, 000 party people gathered on the beach for a five day party to commemorate the creativity and determination of the original sound systems and to celebrate 10-years of underground rave culture. At a time when most of the country was being bored shitless with television specials about the anniversary of the coronation, the Castlemorton anniversary was a powerful reminder that real culture grows from the ground up, and that to stay alive it has to constantly mutate.

It's important to remember Castlemorton because that was where the battle lines were drawn up for many of the struggles of the last decade. The government clampdown that followed the festival , which beagn with the arrest and prosecution of of members of Spiral Tribe for their involvement in the event and culminated in the 1994 Criminal Justice Act, made it clear that the authorities saw the emerging free party community not as just a nuisance but as a political threat. In the following article, one of the defendents in the Castlemorton trial explains the history, and the connection of the free party movement to other struggles to reclaim public space for public use.
