Food Fight! Present: Film Screening: Soylent Green (USA 1973 English Language 97mins) It's the year 2022... People are still the same. They'll do anything to get what they need. And they need SOYLENT GREEN. In an overpopulated futuristic Earth, a New York police detective finds himself marked for murder by government agents when he gets too close to a bizarre state secret involving the origins of a revolutionary and needed new foodstuff. A tale of Earth in despair in 2022. Natural food like fruits, vegetables, and meat among others are now extinct. Earth is overpopulated and New York City has 40 million starving, poverty stricken people. The only way they survive is with water rations and eating a mysterious food called Soylent. A detective investigates the murder of the president of the Soylent company. The truth he uncovers is more disturbing than the Earth in turmoil when he learns the secret ingredient of Soylent Green. read full story / add a comment

A Bolivian state TV broadcast of mobile phone video that appears to show Flores, Dwyer, Arpad etc discussing a missed opportunity to blow up Morala's and his cabanet on Lake Titicaca http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jT-ErWIpDC4 A pretty detailed summary of events at http://americas.irc-online.org/am/6178 includes what appears to be this transcript from the video "Shit, if only I had known in time about the government session in Titicaca the other day. I would have sent one of these guys (an image of his comrades Dwyer and Arpak, along with Tadic next to a column, appears) in scuba gear to blow up the boat. Every single last one, every single last one of them was there; not one was missing," Rózsa says with the boastfulness of a leader. " read full story / add a comment

Dave Isaacson criicises leading SWP members who have undermind and sabotaged attempts to forge rank and file organisation in the CWU. Now SWP member Jane Loftus has actually endorsed a sellout deal. Full text at link. There was one significant omission in Jim Moody’s article on the sell-out of the postal strike by the Communication Workers Union leadership, which allowed CWU president Jane Loftus to come out of it looking rather good, when actually she has been an utter disgrace (‘Militants condemn sell-out’, November 12). Loftus, a long-standing member of the Socialist Workers Party and therefore supposedly a revolutionary, is also a member of the CWU’s postal executive committee (PEC), which voted unanimously on November 5 to accept the interim agreement and call off the strikes, just as the strength of the postal workers was starting to be realised. This goes completely against the position of Loftus’s organisation. Socialist Worker has rightly stated that “Leaders of the postal workers’ union were wrong to suspend strikes at Royal Mail last week … There was no reason for the union to sign up to the agreement. The proposed escalation of strike action - that would have seen two 24-hour strikes in close succession last week - had widespread support within the union” (November 14). read full story / add a comment |
