Hia, just pasting up this recent note from resistG82005:

  I have set up a blockades discussion group.

     To subscribe go to g8block-subscribe at yahoogroups.co.uk

     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.
