10.4 GENERAL STRIKE IN FRANCE
Nothing was going anymore on Tuesday, 10.4, in France – except, according to the trade unions, millions of people on demonstrations across the entire country. For this day in a strong unity all left parties, from the anarchists to the communists, and trade unions were calling for a nation wide 24-hours general strike against privatization, termination of jobs and deterioration of working conditions of the masses of the working class. So nothing was going anymore. No near and far public traffic. Many flights were cancelled. There were no news papers, no baguettes, no city cleaning, all the restaurants were closed... “A unity like that since 30 years it was not happen in France”, so a reporter of the German TV news ARD. And at least 75 per cent of the French population, according to the bourgeois media, supported the strike. By the way THIS is a GENERAL STRIKE!! PS... It is a little difficult for me to write an article here. At first I have to think if I want to use pictures. If I want to do this, I have to go to pc bang and to select and process them. Then I can upload there this stuff. And later at “home” I add the article...

"Sewoon District Redevelopment" project
Seoul forest
The official provisional final point of CRP will be the Seoul forest. This will be located in a huge triangle between Jungrangcheong and Hangang. Seongsu Dong 1ga and Ddukseom cheyug Park is located there. "After being occupied by major city infrastructure and used as a leisure place excluding the intervention of nature during the period of industrialization, Ddukseom Island is required to provide the function as the forest in a city where nature is harmonized with culture...", so the bootleg of SMG. Actually I dont know this area, but I know the neighborhoods, poor areas where small industries and work shops located. There many of my comrades were/are working there – a place for many migrant workers. But according to the computer simulations in the official SMG bootleg... of course this areas are already disappeared. Of course! Just imagine a main center for relaxation for the rich, surrounded by extremely poor, dirty and noisy areas... Finally if you really seriously follow the plans of LD you will find out that they have the "absolute necessary" plan to destroy all the poor areas North of Hangang sooner or later and in this process they will expulse all the poor residents there. Do I have to repeat that WE MUST STOP THIS PROCESS BY ALL MEANS!!?? I think not!!
Well, now it is four days ago that in Seoul the last anti-war event was celebrated. First of all it was very nice to see this pictures, one comrade sent me much more pics, because many people on this pictures I know from our daily, common struggle. And of course it was a kind of emotional for me to this pictures... But... just thats it!
On the other hand it was very sad for me to see this pics, but it was not surprising...
I joined nearly all the rallies, demonstrations and other events of the very young anti-war movement in S. Korea. And from one of the first anti-war rally, demonstration in autumn 2002 until I was arrested, nearly 2 month ago, I reported and commented it. I still remember very well one of the first anti-war demos in autumn 2002, started in Insa Dong, with about 400 protestors.
Than on the next demo from Yeongdeungpo to Yeouido, just a short time later, the numbers of the participants was increasing to 800 or so activists. Later in the end of 2002 the anti-war movement was uniting with the anti-USFK citizen and netizen movement. At that time I already worried that the anti-war movement, mainly based on few political groups, will try to get a kind of leadership of the entire movement, or at least will try to use it for their own so called political, power games.
In the New Years eve to 2003 we were 150.000 protestors on Gwanghwamun... and when I came back to S.K. on Feb. 2003, there was the first international action day against the at that time planned war against Iraq, only 5.000 activists were left on this rally, demonstration. Perhaps you know by your self, what was happen in the time between the end of 2002 and the beginning of 2003.
Between 2003 and now we had many bloody fights against the bill of sending S.K. troops to Iraq... Just remember the battles in beginning of April 2003 on Yeouido... And now... On 9.24 just 600 people, according to Minjung-ui Sori, were on the street against the war.
What we did wrong...
First of all, as I said before, some political organizations were trying to use the movement just for to strengthen their own position. Because many others understood this well, so a real unified front was not possible.
Next... Especially from spring 2003 the anti-war movement was totally fixed on dates organized originally in the Western world or the USA. But the most strongest fights of resistance we had when we were reacting against the policy of the S. K. government, when we were acting autonomous.
Next... KCTUs resistance was just symbolic, actually they, the new KCTU leadership, were cheating all the activists. And the activists had not the power, or they were afraid, to force the KCTU leadership to act really. And so on... It will be continued soon
PS I saw one picture on Minjung-ui sori, but actually I dont saw there 600 people, perhaps maximum 400. One comrade of mine wrote me from about 1.000 people. Perhaps she should not drink to much of soju during demonstrations... haha...

'RESTORATION' MEANS DESTRUCTION
Since Sept. 22 Seoul Metropolitan Government, SMG, together with the Administration of City Development of the Berlin City Government organized an exhibition about the Cheonggyecheon Restoration Project, CRP. On many photographs and maps you can see how giant destructive this project finally will become, if you know about the background, the effects for the ordinary people, who are working and living there. If you really watch the pictures and the other materials on the exhibition than you just come to the conclusion that the stream project, the CRP, itself is just an extreme measure reconstruct the entire area between Eulchi-ro, Cheonggyecheon, CGC, Jong-no and the Dongdaemun and Dongdaemun Stadium. But if I was interpreting the material well the final point of this giant reconstruction, aeh... better said destruction project will be far away from there. But lets start from the point of beginning. The first step of CRP was to tear down the Cheonggyecheon Expressway in 2003. During this process in Nov. 2003 finally the Lee Myeong-bak dictatorship, LD, a.k.a. SMG, ordered the expulsion of the street vendors in and around Cheongyecheon 8ga. I joined and wrote an article about the 10 hours battle between them and ggangpae, large riot cop units on the end of Nov. 2003, but I think it was just on www.base21.org and somehow it disappeared. If I understood well they, the struggling street vendors, or some of them, got later places in the Dongdaemun Stadium. The bad surprise about it will come later... The next step, during the reconstruction of the bed of Cheonggyecheon was that LD and the Construction Mafia, CM, ordered the expulsion of the entire population of Eulchi-ro 2ga, Samgag, Suha Dong, because of the plan to tear down all the buildings and construct a giant new sky scraper there.
Until now the plan failed because of the strong resistance of the residents there. I joined and reported several times.
After the GRAND OPENING of new CGC on Oct. 1, WE SHOULD USE THIS DATE TO SHOW OUR PROTEST, the next step will be, if I understood the material right, the start of the Sewoon District Redevelopment, SDR. This plan includes the tearing down of the entire area between Eulchri-ro 3ga, Jong-no 3ga, when you go to Dongdaemun on the right side of Jong-no, Jong-no 4ga and Eulchi-ro 4ga. According to LD the entire area will turn into an internationally large scale business space. The importance of this project you can see, when you read the names of the architects who were asked to build there. Machedo+Silvetti, Kohlhaas, P. Eisenmann... And this is a really huge area with thousands of residents, small workshops, stores... It means that the basis of existence of thousands of families will be extreme endangered. Perhaps, I am just reckoning, the entire area is already sold to the CM and the people who are living and working there, just rented their places, like in Samgag, Suha Dong. And sooner or later they will be just kicked out... I think you can see the plan behind CRP... just a giant resettlement against the will of thousands of poor residents. ALL THE POOR OUT OF THE CITY. THE CITY JUST FOR THE RICH. And SDR will be for sure not the final point of redevelopment, destruction... You just have to follow CGC with open eyes and you will see, understand the entire plan behind CRP... All the small, poor houses will disappear in the near future. And with the houses all the people who used to live and work there. IF WE CANT STOP IT. Once again this areas are the basis of existence for thousands of families. It will be continued soon.
