The current economic crisis has been largely created by the basic logic, or raison d'etre, of capital, namely the requirement of bankers, corporations, and stock market speculators to always seek a profit, at any cost to others.

Break the siege! No Borders national day of action for Gaza
No Borders UK | 30.03.2009 12:35 | Anti-militarism | Migration | Palestine | World

On the 5th February, Israel and Egypt shut all borders with Gaza. Egypt has said it will close the Rafah border indefinitely as Gaza is an 'occupied territory'. No Borders UK calls for an immediate opening of Israeli and Egyptian borders with Gaza.

No Borders calls for a day of action on 27th April. Target those profiting from the siege (BAE, G4S, Caterpillar, EDO, Raytheon etc.).

It seems that 5 people were planning some kind of 'stunt' for the G20 and they have been arrested under the terrorism legislation. It will be interesting if this is a real arrest or simply more hype to justify the crackdown on dissent as the global system falls off a cliff. read full story / add a comment

The world economy is in turmoil but while the fat cats still take home their city bonuses and hefty pensions we are the ones suffering, losing our jobs, our homes, and our civil liberties to boot. The current economic system has created an unaccountable political class more interested with the concerns of the millionaires that created this mess than the millions who they are supposed to represent. read full story / add a comment
