Anti -war Hiroshima and Nagasaki month:Imperialist war But ;"Who Started the Blitz"?

 

      Between 1940 and 1945, sixty-one German cities with a total population of
      25 millions were destroyed or devastated in a bombing campaign initiated
      by the British government. Destruction on this scale had no other purpose
      than the indiscriminate mass murder of as many German people as possible
      quite regardless of their civilian status. It led to retaliatory bombing
      resulting in 60,000 British dead and 86,000 injured.

Tassie's forests. Pulped or protected? - Rally and march in Melbourne

Date and Time: 
15/06/2008 - 11:45am - 15/06/2008 - 2:00pm

The ANZ can stop the pulp mill by refusing to finance it. We are holding a rally and march in Melbourne to demonstrate the continuing community opposition to the pulp mill and to convince the ANZ not to finance it.

Stopping the pulp mill is crucial because it will be a disaster for climate change. It will be 80% native forest-based, consuming an area of forest equivalent to 100 000 MCGs.

This rally and march can demonstrate to the ANZ Bank that the community does not want them to finance the mill.

Tasmania's Forest Defenders 'Lose Their Exclusion' in the Styx Valley, Tasmania

 Ula Majewski

It's been a busy week for Tasmanian forest defenders in the Styx
Valley, setting up two blockades in two days as part of the 'Gunns and
Dozers Lose Your Exclusion Tour'.

Yesterday's work halted construction on a new logging road being
pushed into pristine forest near the Tasmanian Wilderness World
Heritage Area. Today, two different access points to old growth
logging coupe SX10F were blockaded, effectively stopping the
destructive logging of ancient forest all day.
