Seldom has trade-union unity been so great in the country: almost all the trade unions, including the most collaborationist, call for an indefinite strike at the SNCF, because of the determination and combativeness of the workers! But what objective does this united leadership set for the struggle to come? In 1995 the objective was clear: total withdrawal of the Prime Minister Juppé plan against the pensions. Today what is the objective of this trade-union unity? Total withdrawal of the new attack against the pensions? (text/plain)

The May 13, 1985 MOVE Bombing: Suicide or State-sanctioned Murder? Kevin Price / Abu-Jamal-News.com 2007-11-07 9:59 AM

"If you look close enough you can see history altered before your eyes. Pick up the latest Guinness Book of World Records, flip to page 123 and you will see what I mean. Under the section 'Cults, Fans and Followers' the police bombing of the MOVE Organization in 1985 is listed as the sixth most deadly mass suicide in recent history…. Yes, you did read that correctly. A deliberate massacre, in which police dropped a bomb on a house, intentionally allowed the fire to burn and shot at those that dared attempt an escape, was labeled as mass suicide," writes MOVE supporter Kevin Price in his recent essay <a href="http://phillyimc.org/en/2007/11/43165.shtml">"MOVE's Battle With Guinness."</a> <p> Price's essay follows a recent <a href="http://www.philly.com/inquirer/columnists/michael_klein/inqlings/20071101_Inqlings___MOVEs_Guinness_record_riles_survivor.html">Philadelphia Inquirer interview</a> with Ramona Africa, <a href="http://prisonradio.org/RamonaAfrica.htm">the sole adult survivor</a> of the May 13, 1985 police assault. <a href="http://onamove.com/">MOVE</a> has confronted Guinness and is asking people to <a href="http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/OnaMove">sign a petition</a> in protest. <p> Past Philly IMC coverage has documented the <a href="http://www.phillyimc.org/en/2007/05/39473.shtml">long history of media bias</a> towards MOVE, the upcoming <a href="http://insubordination.blogspot.com/2007/07/attention-move-this-is-america.html">Parole Hearings for the remaing MOVE prisoners</a>, interviews with Ramona Africa in <a href="http://www.publicenemy.com/pb/viewtopic.php?t=21398&sid=1">2002</a> & <a href="http://www.altpr.org/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=article&sid=7">2003</a>, and demonstrations in Philadelphia(<a href="http://www.phillyimc.org/en/2007/05/39534.shtml">1</a>, <a href="http://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2005/08/08/17585141.php">2</a>).

The FBI's War on Black Liberation: COINTELPRO and the Panthers Ron Jacobs, Counterpunch.com 2007-10-21 8:03 AM

While also spotlighting the cases of The SF 8, Veronza Bowers, Jr., and Jamil Abdullah Al-Amin (formerly H. Rap Brown), Ron Jacobs writes that the new Mumia Abu-Jamal crime scene photos in German author Michael Schiffmann's book: "cast more doubt on the state's case by apparently disproving the prosecution's statements that Mumia stood over Officer Faulkner and fired at him several times. The photos show no marks from the bullets that were supposedly fired in this fashion. In fact, the sidewalk was not damaged in any way. Schiffmann goes on to write: 'it is thus no question anymore whether the scenario presented by the prosecution at Abu-Jamal's trial is true. It is clearly not, because it is physically and ballistically impossible.' (p. 205) The remainder of the photos show a scenario that constantly contradicts the testimony of officers and witnesses (apparently coerced) and the nature of the scene they described in Mumia's original trial." SEE PHOTO BELOW: The official police crime scene photo (not taken by Pedro Polakoff) also supports Schiffmann's "missing bullet divots" observation. (image/jpeg + 4 comments)
