"In The Most Free State of the World"

This Leaflet was found in some streets of Paris in March 2010. It talks about solidarity with the accused of the fire in Vincennes and the repression of the state:

Since 1945, they want us to believe that the most serene freedom has arisen in our lifetime; now that housewives have access to all the best household appliances, now that almost everyone has the right to vote, now that "freedom" of speech is guaranteed by the democratic institutions, now that we are left with the listing of false choices- between exploiting or being exploited for nothing at all, and without trying to understand why, threatened to be quashed. Our anxiety and our thirst for liberty do not falter, though that is what it's all about when the State parrots out its ideas of freedom, democratic and industrial progress.

Spain: Revolts in Detention Centre

"I'm racist and I want to send you back to your fucking country, bastard", is what a policeman said to an Angolan migrant before kicking him in the belly and putting him into a straitjacket because he refused to get on the boat (to be deported). The detainee was sent back to Aluche's detention centre in a semi-conscious state, to be then taken to a hospital a few hours later. He already had a serious disease.

The debate over climate change and global warming management at the UN is a struggle among the national ruling establishments for their own interests on the international diplomatic stage. While there is concern that climate change can have unforeseen political and economic
