In the UK today a new campaign called “Buzz off' has been launched by the Children’s Commissioner and supported by various groups including Liberty, to ban the sonic youth deterrent called 'Mosquito'. The device is manufactured by a Welsh company called Comound Security Systems [CSS] ( http://www.compoundsecurity.co.uk/teenage_control_produ....html ) The unit generates a painful pulsing, ultra-sonic, tone at around 16khz, which is close to the limit of the hearing range of people under 25 years old, but apparantly inaudible to anyone above that age. ... read full story / add a comment

When St Patrick as a young man escaped to his homeland from Ireland he reported in his "Confessions" that he heard in a dream the voices of the people of Ireland pleading with him, "Come back, O holy youth, and walk once more among us." Of course St Patrick did come back and he lit a fire on the Hill of Slane - a fire which never went out. ... read full story / add a comment

Below is a recent letter from US Anarchist prisoner Harold Thompson to a member of Belfast Anarchist Black Cross, who maintains regular contact with Harold and his struggle as a ‘Jail House Lawyer’ defending fellow prisoners against the repressive prison regime. A simple activity such as writing a letter goes a long way to breaking down the constant experience of isolation and confinement. As Harold writes, “Any political movement or peoples struggle, which fails to provide support to fallen comrades, is doomed to failure as certain as day follows night. Prisoner support should be considered as a top priority within all political movements and with all activists, as we, you or I never knows when gulag gates will slam shut behind us or when those gates to the outside will open again to allow our passage back out once the system has us in its grasp." ... read full story / add a comment |
