Austria: IFP members arrested From the following scource:
[url] http://www.kurier.at/chronik/801733.php [/url]
which is in german... my german isn't that well but from what i understand 12 partymembers were arrested and were in posession of 44.000 euro worth of drugs..
i think that it also states that over the passed 4 years they earned over 500.000 euro and that they are problably going down on tax avoidence(?)
I've been to some pretty damn cool party's by the IFP crew and I feel really sorry for them.
I hope austria won't be an example to other countries this way.
The media and government are also looking into the underground (illegal) party scene in Holland (where i live). This summer the media in holland reported about foreign soundsystem making 1000's of euro every weekend giving illegal parties. (of course the story was blown up) but there were some political questions asked about it. (one of the foreign soundsystem that were in holland at the time was ifp, i believe).
bush goverment legislates away womens rights? i came across this on another forum and it has raised my blood pressure through the roof:you_smart:you_smart:you_smart:you_smart:you_smart
if they spent less money on setting fire to the middle east and more on their public health care they wouldnt need to be passing the responsibility off like this:you_crazy:you_crazy:you_crazy
anyway - enough of me growling - check it out for yourselves and post your views below

well now we can try it ourself Seven held in Danish terror raids
Danish police have arrested seven suspected terrorists, the country's security intelligence service says.
The suspects, believed to be all men aged between 18 and 33, were picked up during overnight raids in Odense, Denmark's third largest city.
The country's Justice Minister, Lene Espersen, said it was likely they were planning an attack in Denmark.
The men had been under surveillance for months and were detained on suspicion of planning terror acts.
Two others who were arrested at the same time have been released.
All seven are due in court later and are being held under anti-terror laws introduced after the 11 September 2001 attacks on the US.
Ms Espersen said: "The clues police found indicate that they were very likely planning an attack somewhere in Denmark.
"It was the most serious matter I have had in my time as justice minister. Police went in and stopped the group as it was preparing an attack."
'No unnecessary risk'
Lars Findsen, head of the Danish Security Intelligence Service (Pet), said in a statement that the arrests happened in the city's suburb of Vollsmose.
He said the suspects "had acquired material... to build explosives in connection with the preparation of a terror act".
Mr Findsen did not reveal any planned target of the attack and said it was hard to evaluate how far the suspects had got in their preparations.
"With the general terror situation, the Danish Security Intelligence Service didn't want to run any unnecessary risk." The arrests would not prompt Denmark to raise its terror alert, Mr Findsen added.

Transition Town Totnes Anyone in the southwest (or anywhere really) who is interested in sustainable living and/or preparing for life after oil should check out this series of events in Totnes over the next few months.
Quote:
We are delighted to announce the programme of events for the first 4 months of the Transition Town Totnes initiative. The project will develop, over the next 12 - 18 months, an Energy Descent Action Plan for Totnes, designing a positive way down from the oil peak, building on the work begun in Kinsale. It will strive to be inclusive, imaginative, practical and fun. We have put together a programme which combines inspirational speakers, many of whom will be visiting Totnes for the first time, film screenings, Open Space think tank days and much more.

Truth Taken from DNBA ........
The 9/11 Truth Campaign (Britain & Ireland) is calling for a new independent inquiry into the events of 9/11. Here are a few of the many reasons:
· Why did the Bush Admin do their best to postpone the investigation into 9/11? When it did eventually happen, the Bush administration provided funding of less than half ($15m) spent on investigating Clinton's affair with Lewinsky ($40m)!
· Why did Bush and Cheney refuse to testify under oath and refuse to speak to the Commission separately?
· Why did World Trade Center Building 7 fall down at 17:20 on September 11th 2001 in the manner of a controlled demolition, when no planes were flown into it? and why was there no mention of it in the NIST investigation report?
· Why was Dick Cheney in charge of NORAD?
· Why were there so many war games on the morning of 9/11?
· Why was the $100000 transfer to Mohammed Atta by General Mahmood Ahmad of the ISI (Pakistani Intelligence) not investigated?
· Why is Osama Bin Laden blamed for the 9/11 attacks when the FBI themselves admit they have no hard evidence to indict him with?
· Why were the names of the alleged hijackers not on the passenger lists submitted by United and American Airlines?
· Why were there huge surges in purchases of put options on stocks of United and American Airlines in the days before 9/11 and why were they not investigated?
· Why was war in Afghanistan being planned BEFORE the September 11th attacks occured?
· Why was Sibel Edmonds (FBI) given more gag-orders than anyone in US history after she testified that FBI officials were involved in espionage and security breaches in their investigation into the events of 9/11?
9/11 has been used as a pretext to take us into wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, and possibly a third with Iran. Surely we deserve to know the facts? The ensuing "war on terror" has also been used to justify the erosion of our civil liberties and traditional freedoms in the UK and USA.
Join us on our National Demonstration to commemorate the 5th anniversary outside the US Embassy, Grosvenor Square in London on 11 September 2006 from 12:30pm -2:30pm. Supporters are urged to bring a flower to lay at the 9/11 Memorial Tree and wear black in memory of all those who have lost their lives.

Scientists suspect Israeli arms used in South contain radioactive matter Monday, August 21, 2006
Scientists suspect Israeli arms used in South contain radioactive matter
By Mohammed Zaatari
Daily Star staff
MARJAYOUN: Mohammad Ali Qobeissi, a member of the National Council for Scientific Research, said on Sunday that a crater caused by an Israeli munition in Khiam contained "a high degree of unidentified radioactive materials." Qobeissi, along with Ibrahim Rashidi from the Faculty of Sciences at the Lebanese University, have inspected the crater - which is 3 meters deep and has a diameter of 10 meters - in the Jlahiyyeh quarter in Khiam, with a Geiger-Muller radioactivity counter and nuclear material detector.
"A team from the council will test a sample from the crater in order to find out what kinds of radioactive materials it contains," Qobeisi told The Daily Star.
He added that the Israeli weapons launched on Khiam and the neighboring areas of South Lebanon "probably contained a high level of uranium."
The scientific team doubted, however, that the dust caused by these weapons was likely to contain the kind of radioactive materials which would later lead to cancers.

Is the war really over.. ISRAEL EMBASSY PROTEST CANCELLED
SATURDAY 19 AUGUST 2PM
The protest planned for the Israeli Embassy in London on Saturday 19 August has
been cancelled. The rebuilding of Lebanon has begun. The Israeli Defence Forces
are leaving the country that they barely occupied but tried to break through
aerial bombardment. This was Bush and Blair’s war as much as Israel’s. They gave
Israel the green light to continue the attacks on the Lebanon, which killed more
than 1,000, injured many thousands more and destroyed the country’s
infrastructure. This is a serious setback for the US/UK project of reordering
the Middle East.
The London meeting with Lebanese journalist Omar Nachabe will take place as
advertised. This will be an opportunity to listen to an eye-witness account of
recent events in Lebanon and to hear speakers on the political implications.
FRIDAY 18 AUGUST 6.30
ALL-LONDON PUBLIC MEETING
EYEWITNESS REPORT FROM LEBANON
THE POLITICAL IMPLICATIONS OF RECENT EVENTS
Speakers include:
OMAR NACHABE, Senior journalist Beirut newspaper Al-Akhbar, eyewitness to
Israeli attacks in southern Lebanon
TONY BENN, President, Stop the War Coalition
JEREMY DEAR, Gen Sec, National Union of Journalists
LINDSEY GERMAN, Convenor, Stop the War Coalition
