The film Uribe doesn’t want you to see screened on the walls of the Colombian embassy in Canberra

Submitted by Peace and Justice on Wed, 17/03/2010 - 7:55pm

In response to the Colombian President Alvaro Uribe's call to his ambassadors to ban the screening of Insurgency of the 21st Century, Australian activist groups have started promoting the documentary.

The premiere screening took place on March 6, outside the Colombian embassy in Canberra, Australia. This coincided with a national day of protest against state terror in Colombia. Uribe and his supporters say their continuing repression of Colombian people is part of the “war on terror”.

The world's most important product

Ways of Viewing the World’s Most Important Product

I’ll begin by quoting from contemporary philosopher and psychologist Eric Fromm’s work, ‘The Art of Loving’, “The principal underlying capitalist society and the principal of love are incompatible.” And. “Those who are seriously concerned with love as the only rational answer to the problem of human existence must, then, arrive at the conclusion that important and radical changes in our social structure are necessary . . .”.

Protest to the Danes over regular ghastly dolphin killings - the pictures say it all

Denmark is involved in a shameful practice.

The sea is stained in red from the cruelty of supposedly civilised humans killing hundreds of the famous and intelligent Calderon dolphins. This happens every year in Faroe Island in Denmark. The main participants in this slaughter are young teens.

WHY? A celebration, to show that they are adults and mature!

Everyone participates in one way or the other, killing or looking at the cruelty, “supporting like a spectator”.

Calderon dolphins, like all other dolphin species, are near extinction.

an interesting example of a civil disobedience action taken as an anti-olympic protest (the building of the bridge), the destruction of a sacred burial ground (during construction of the bridge) and the interference of the salmon runs and destruction of ancient fishing grounds due to the insensitivity of the canadian govt. and the builders.

there is even recognition of the downside (is there an upside?) of globalisation to first nations and other aboriginal groups around the world.
