Early in 2008 the BBC said that they were putting together a documentary on conspiracy theorists and conspiracy theories, including how the Twin Towers plus the third tower WTC7, which all came down so neatly, and in precisely the same way on the 11th of September, 2001.

In 2006/7, Faslane 365 saw well over 1000 arrests during a year-long blockade of the Trident submarine base in Scotland. Last Easter, Atomic Weapons Establishment (AWE) Aldermaston saw its biggest demonstration in two decades as 5000 people surrounded the base to mark the 50th anniversary of the first London to Aldermaston march. Trident Ploughshares now invites you to a major blockade of the Berkshire nuke factory, where billions of pounds are currently being spent developing new warhead facilities that will scupper nuclear disarmament for another 50 years. Help us uphold international law by blockading this factory of death in what promises to be a colourful celebration of life and people power. There is a role for everyone, arrestable or non-arrestable, young or old. This event is supported by CND, Block the Builders and the Aldermaston Women's Peace Camp. read full story / add a comment

84 year old Holocaust survivor Hedy Epstein will be visiting Bristol on Thursday the 16th October. She will speak at a public meeting as part of a UK speaking-tour.

Hedy was born to a Jewish family in Freiburg, Germany, and in 1939 fled Nazi persecution via the Kindertransport to England. All but two of her family were killed at Auschwitz concentration camp during the Holocaust.

She says "I was never in a camp, because of my parent's sacrifice of getting me out, so I never had the worst kind of experience that survivors have had - but I know what it's like to be discriminated against and Hitler's murderous intentions. And because I know what it's like, I feel I have a duty and a responsibility to fight the injustices that happen to other people.”

The need for the anti-war movement to be sustained was never greater, with the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan still raging without respite, and threats hovering to spread more war to Pakistan, Iran and the Caucasus. Whoever leads the governments in America and Britain, all current leaders and prospective candidates are agreed that these war policies are going to continue unabated. read full story / add a comment

Next to the famous statue of Edmund Burkre, he expresses his and millions of others disbelief around the world in the 'official' version of events as promulgated by the mass media at the time. He rubbishes the story that the 9/11 attacks were masterminded by Osama bin Laden from a cave in Afghanistan as pure media spin. read full story / add a comment
