Hong Kong On High Alert..^^
Hong Kong on high alert as thousands of protesters fly in
To prevent a repeat of the violence that disrupted the last two summits in Seattle and Cancún, 9,000 police have been drafted in to man the barricades around the harbourside convention centre, where the talks will take place, and patrol shopping and financial districts, which are considered potential targets for anti-globalisation radicals.
Hopes are scarcely more optimistic for the action inside the vast convention centre, used for the 1997 handover, where 6,000 delegates will gather tomorrow to thrash out the global trade disputes that have gridlocked the latest WTO round. Few expect anything more than incremental progress; at worst, some fear a repeat of the deadlock that undermined the last summit at Cancún in 2003.
The first demonstration of the week passed off peacefully yesterday, a colourful, if noisy, march by more than 2,000 people. But, to the concern of free-speech campaigners, immigration officials are said to have a blacklist of known activists, who will be denied entry into the territory.
Korean farmers, who have been in the frontline of previous WTO protests, say the authorities put pressure on hotels to refuse them rooms, but more than 1,000 are expected to fly in today. They say the liberalisation of the rice market has driven several farmers to suicide, including Lee Kyung-hae, who killed himself at the height of the demonstration in Cancún.
"We want to protest peacefully," said Seo Pil-Sang of the Korean Agricultural Federation Trade Union. "But we are desperate. Lee died in Cancún. And unless the WTO listens to the voice of Korean farmers, I'm worried that someone else may kill themselves."
Access will be limited. Although 2,000 accredited non-governmental organisations will be allowed inside the hall, most protesters will be restricted to a nearby "demonstration zone".
"I don't think there'll be trouble like in Seattle in Cancún," said Helena Kwong, a marshall. "Hong Kong people are peaceful. We are against unfair trade, but we are not in favour of violence."
In the past three years, hundreds of thousands of local people have taken to the streets to campaign for democracy, but the demonstrations have all passed peacefully. Hong Kong also has more reason than most to be thankful for global trade, which has transformed it into one of the most prosperous cities in the world. Police say the risk will come later and from outside: from European and US anarchist groups and Asian farmers' organisations.
Some local businesses are taking no chances. Two nearby banks and several outlets of international retailers plan to close during the summit. At an Audi showroom close to the venue, sales executive Kenneth Chui said: "We are worried about the safety of our staff. We will board up our windows for at least the opening day. Then, we'll see what the situation is like."

First of all: the report about the last MTU activities (12.10/11) - and of course about Radhika同志 - will follow soon. I already got informations, but I just want to wait for some more material...
HK, 12.11: THE FIRST DAY OF RESISTANCE
AGAINST THE WTO SUMMIT
AFP (12.11, Hindustanitimes.com) reported this:
Amid Hong Kong's biggest-ever security operation, anti-globalisation and other protesters took to the streets on Sunday in a rally against this week's World Trade Organisation (WTO) meeting in Hong Kong.
Thousands of protesters from all over the world joined together to call for the end of the world trading body and to end third world poverty.
"Sink the WTO" and "Keep WTO out of agriculture" read many of the banners as the demonstrators marched from Victoria Park in the Causeway Bay district to the downtown government headquarters two miles away (about three kilometres).
Organisers, the Hong Kong People's Alliance on WTO put the turnout at 4,000 (Junge Welt, a German "socialist" newspaper is writing 10,000 protestors..), lower than their expectations of 7,000, but no independent estimates were available.
Police and plain-clothes officers ringed the park and thousands more were ready along the demonstration route in anticipation of possible violent clashes with radical protesters but the march passed off without incident.
The protest began in a carnival-like atmosphere with speeches by political and NGO leaders and dozens of concern groups preparing colourful costumes and props.
One group carried a papier-mache model of a dragon with a tongue of flames that spelled "WTO". Another hauled a huge model of a raging bull.
Others carried giant balloons bearing slogans such as "Stop Trade Slavery".
Many railed against globalisation while others complained that the WTO's aim of reducing agricultural subsidies threatened the livelihoods of millions.
"Cheap food imports are destroying our own agriculture," complained Masaaki Sakaguchi, secretary general of Japan's National Coalition of Workers, Farmers and Consumers for Safe Food and Health.
"There are lots of chemicals on the food we import," Sakaguchi added. "Keep food local and keep it safe."
About two hours after the march began, the last demonstrators arrived at the government offices, where activists began a rally calling on Hong Kong's rulers to dismantle the city's trade policies.
"The WTO puts people out of work and forces overseas workers to seek work here," said Alijah Purwati, of the Indonesian Migrant Workers Council, representing the estimated 150,000 Indonesian domestic helpers employed here.
Along the march route many shop owners, also worried that the procession could turn violent, had shuttered their stores. Shoppers and other pedestrians gave the protesters a wide berth.
"The march went very smoothly. I'm very happy. We always said it would be peaceful and it was," said Elizabeth Tang of protest organisers the Hong Kong People's Alliance on the WTO.
Sunday's march was to be the first of three large demonstrations planned during the summit. Another will be held on Tuesday, when the ministerial conference kicks off, and a final one is scheduled for the last day next Sunday.
Authorities were taking no chances with security, putting 9,000 police on duty and locking down entire city sections in anticipation of violent clashes.
Across town at the summit venue, where 11,000 delegates and journalists will be based during the trade talks, the streets were calm on Sunday.
The normally bustling convention and exhibition centre was all but deserted as hundreds of police scoured the glitzy building's plazas and bomb squads rooted around in drains and manholes in last-minute searches for explosives.
The area around the venue has been blocked off to traffic by three-metre (nine-feet) high water-filled crowd control barriers that stretch along the perimeter of an exclusion zone aimed at keeping out troublemakers.
A steel containment fence was also erected in the street outside the entrance to the convention centre.
Some 10,000 protesters are expected this week. Rally organisers have accused immigration officials of treating arriving demonstrators in a heavy-handed manner after almost a dozen were temporarily detained at the city's airport.

Please check out also the South China Morning Post (HK)
Hong Kong People's Alliance on WTO (HKPA, the main organizers of the protests)

and indymedia
...but both (indy and HKPA), until now, have no news about y'day's protest.
PS.:
The WTO summit in HK is just a place to show our disagreement with the ruling system, the capitalism... Actually I don't see it that the movement, the activists there will be able to smash the summit... The main actors will be the representatives of the different (capitalist) states but with their different priorities... We just should keep in our mind: THINK GLOBAL, ACT LOCAL...
But anyway, we should support the struggle there by ...yeah... ACTING LOCAL. KICK THE CAPITALISTS IN THEIR AS... IN FRONT OF OUR OWN DOORSTEPS!!!
JUST A HAPPY FUTURE:
ATTACK AGAINST COUNTER-ATTACK
AGAINST COUNTER-COUNTER-ATTACK...
The red stuff on the wall (opposite of the shopping mall in Netanya)
is the blood of victims...
Jerusalem Post is writing today (12.6):
Sharon orders resumption of targeted killings in W. Bank
In the wake of the suicide bombing attack in Netanya, which claimed the lives of five Israeli citizens on Monday morning, Prime Minister Ariel Sharon has instructed security forces to resume the policy of targeted assassinations in the West Bank as part of a large-scale operation against the Islamic Jihad infrastructure in the region.

THE SUPER INNOVATIVE PALESTINIAN "RESISTANCE"
Only yesterday the Israeli authorities made it more easy for Palestinian workers and merchants from Gaza and the West Bank to enter Israel. Just some hours later Jihad Islamiya sent back "warmest thanks": home made rockets...
And now, just about three hours ago (CET) one Palestinian, because of his great gratitude (^^, even it is not funny, not at all..), blow up himself in the Israeli city of Netanya in front of a shopping mall and more than 50 Israelis (at least 5 of them died) "were able to participate at his celebration"...
Here you can read the news in Jerusalem Post (please read the Talkbacks... some are just complete strange, but show the mood after actions like that... And this is just the f... reality!!!):

And here the latest news from Guardian (UK):
http://www.guardian.co.uk/israel/Story/0,2763,1658107,00.html
Like that there is no liberation, there will be no liberation!! There will be just more suffering from more Israeli military actions (TERROR!!), ongoing Palestinian corruption, exploitation by Palestinian and Israeli capitalists...,oppression by Palestinian police, secret services and Islamic fascists!
NO FUTURE!!! not at all...

."If Israel announces that it will sprinkle porcine blood over the islamic bomber's corpse, causing that he will not "go to heaven", may be that this attitude will dissuade suicide bombing." (a comment from Brazil.. harrharr...) But once again: THIS IS THE F.. REALITY (..and not my dream, not at all!)!!
..."Humanity and Equality"...
On 11.19 in Poznan, Poland, hundreds of activists wanted to demonstrate for more tolerance, equality, women rights and against the discrimination of people with "other sexual orientation" (so the call of the organizers).
But instead to enjoy their "right of freedom to express their opinion" (Poland is since last year a part of the E.U.), at first they were attacked by fascist gangs, ideologically backed by the (still/again ruling) catholic church.. And just a short while later they were attacked and cracked down by the cops (at least 68 people were arrested).
LONG LIFE DEMOCRACY AND FREEDOM
(haha~)
NO FUTURE!
...but it is our own fault! French newspapers wrote in the last days: Editorial in Le Monde (bourgeois): "A country that regards itself as the birthplace of human rights and a model of social welfare has shown itself, in everyone's eyes, to be incapable of giving its young people the opportunities they deserve... If France wants to avoid another electoral catastrophe like the one in 2002, when Jean-Marie Le Pen reached the second round of the presidential elections, it is time for those who aspire to govern to stop grandstanding and apply themselves to the task of rebuilding part of society." Editorial in Le Figaro (bourgeois): "France is paying for its arrogance. In the eyes of the world, our famous model of social integration is going down the drain... Vengeance is a dish best served cold. America will never forget the criticisms of its society during the Iraq war and after the hurricane in Louisiana. "But their criticism is not entirely unjustified. It underlines 40 years of political failure... Too often, ideology has trumped pragmatism in dealing with the problems of the suburbs. Plans to rebuild and renovate have not been followed up with money. In particular, it is misguided to think that tweaking around the edges would give pride and hope to the descendants of French immigrants, who have too often been soothed by speeches presenting them as victims rather than responsible citizens... "Is Islam at the heart of the current violence? Not as far as one can tell. The solution seems to lie in reaffirming everyone's rights and responsibilities." Editorial, L'Humanite ("Communist" Party): "Nicolas Sarkozy's arrogance evidently has no limits. Questioned on television about his attitude to the crisis, the interior minister declared calmly: 'I don't have the right to overreact. Nothing can be achieved by agitation and tension. The most difficult thing for me is to stay lucid, to get out of the cauldron and to find the time to reflect on what should be done.' Get out of the cauldron? If only he could! After having deliberately lit the fuse, he happily surveys the damage, and wants time to think about it. The residents of Seine-Saint-Denis and the politicians and educators who live there will appreciate that. "Whatever the government says, the events of recent days do not reflect an isolated problem of suburban crime, but a terrible failure of the policy of urban and social segregation that has been imposed for years on the people of these districts. The suburbs are not a special case. The suburbs are France, the France that suffers at work, is unemployed ... the France of discrimination, bad housing, poor public services. Unless we give the suburbs hope, the whole country will be unable to develop and the equality that republican principles are founded upon will be nothing more than a piece of paper. The future of the French model of social justice - of all our futures - lies in the suburbs. That is why Nicolas Sarkozy wants to break them... Rather than endless images of burnt cars, we must give a voice to the suburbs. And we must listen to them!" Communique from the “Mouvement de l’immigration et des banlieues”(here you can read the French version): “Die in peace my brothers, but die in silence, that we perceive but the distant echo of your suffering” Wednesday, November 9, 2005. “Those who do not understand today the causes of the riots are amnesiacs, blind or both. It has in fact been 30 years that the suburbs have struggled for justice. 25 years that the revolts, the riots, the demonstrations, the marches the public meetings, the cries of anger with precise demands have been formulated. 15 years since the Minister of Cities was created to respond to the exclusion and the social misery of the so-called disadvantaged neighbourhoods. The ministers come and go with their promises: Marshall Plan, Zones Franches, DSQ, ZEP, ZUP, emploi-jeunes, Cohesion Sociale, etc… The suburbs serve as a escapist release for the ministers, the elect and the media, fevered with little murderous phrases on the “no-go zones”, “the parental irresonsability”, gangsterism, and other “Islamist derivaties”. The inhabitants of these neighbourhoods, and notably the young, are stigmatized and designated as responsable for all the problems of society. It is all too easy to give a lesson in civics and to point the finger at the ‘scum’ or the ‘savages’, thus throwing them to populist vindictiveness. And this strategy is all too profitable. The suburbs become an isolated problem, which we leave to the police and the courts to solve. Today, we are presented these ‘suburban youth’ (signifying black and arab) who are seen as having come to destroy like foreigners laying siege to France. Nevertheless, from Minguettes (1981) to Vaulx-en-Velin (1990), from Mantes-la-Jolie (1991) to Sartrouville (1991), from Dammarie-les-Lys (1997) to Toulouse (1998), from Lille (2000) to Clichy, the message is clear: Enough of these unpunished crimes of the police, enough of the suffering silence of millions of families, of men and women, who suffer daily from the social violence, so much more devastating than a burning car. With the curfew, the government responds by collective punishment and a law of exception that gives full powers to the police. Just sealing the lid on the cooking-pot will mark the memories of our neighbourhoods for a long time. There will never be peace in our neighbourhoods as long as there is not justice and real equality. No pacification nor any curfew will keep us from continuing our fight for this, even when the cameras will have ceased rolling. NO JUSTICE, NO PEACE! MIB, 11/09/2005
NO FUTURE!
Unrest spread across troubled suburbs around Paris in a eighth night of violence as the cops clashed with angry youths and scores of vehicles were torched in at least twenty towns, according to French officials. Police in riot gear fired rubber bullets at advancing gangs of youths in Aulnay-sous-Bois - one of the worst-hit suburbs - where 15 cars were burned alone Tuesday night, French officials said on Wednesday. Youths lobbed Molotov cocktails at an annex to the town hall and threw stones at the firehouse.
This is not Baghdad, its just in the middle of West Europe!
