Hia, just pasting up this recent note from resistG82005:

I have set up a blockades discussion group.

I have uploaded to the files area the call out for the blockades
(it is a slight update to the one presented in the newsletter). It is
also attatched, since no-one else but me is a member.
________________________________________
On the 6th-8th July the G8 (the leaders of the worlds most
industrialized nations) are meeting in Gleneagles, Scotland at their
annual summit to make decisions on how they think the world should be run.
The G8 are the group at the heart of the corporate Globalisation,
co-coordinating a neo-liberal assault on our livelihoods, public
services, jobs, wages and environment. They make promises on seeking
real solutions to the world's problems, but in reality have failed to
deliver in making any progressive changes. Examples of this are their
inability to cancel debts' owed by the world's poorest nations, or
implement the Kyoto agreement to reduce greenhouse omissions that are
killing our planet.
The reason for this is that the G8 are not a body that can be negotiated
with, as their main interest is to protect and promote free trade in all
its forms, encouraging maximum profiteering from the sale of goods,
service, crops, and intellectual property. Any pressure to change the G8
will come externally from maximum militancy, organizing against them so
as to expose their real agenda by discrediting it.
We need to confront the G8 by disrupting their secret meeting; this can
be achieved by blockading the summit when it starts on the Wednesday 6th
July.
'The Blockades Group', a part of the Dissent! network, call out to all
autonomous direct action groups and individuals opposed to the G8 to
carry out autonomous actions to blockade the summit. To maximise
participation in such blockades, groups and individuals may coordinate
through the Dissent! network.
The Blockades Group is already investigating information useful to
assist the blockades. If you wish to coordinate your actions through
the network, or would simply wish to request any information which may
be useful to your autonomous action, please subscribe to the discussion
group at g8block-subscribe at yahoogroups.co.uk
Actions will be many and varied and will range from confrontational and
uncompromising to imaginative and humorous; so all groups and
individuals should feel able to participate in a manner appropriate to
their ideology.
