pga flyer for the g8

Invitation to use the convergence Center Hamburg as a space for the PGA process at the 10th of June

The network "peoples global action" is a global project inspired by the zapatista uprising and new forms of internationalism developed in the 90ies. To make the idea moving there are regulary spaces to exchange not only via mailinglists but also to get in touch and set up or inform about campaigns. As the european PGA Network process was not ready to set up a place and time for the next conference on the last meeting in february, the decision was taken to have more space for discussion about the next convenorship and perspectives in one or more "following meetings" in february. Combined with the discussion about pga and the g8 summit in heiligendamm this year, there was the idea to meet at camps while the protest and to offer a space after the protests nearby to find together and to find solutions for the next european conference. Thus we offered as the infopoint in hamburg, that we can meet at the 10th of june in the convergence center hamburg but we would not set a proper agenda or food, accomodation on our own, but use the infrastructure of the G8 mobilisation and protest. We invite collectives and groups supporting and having an interest in the idea of pga to this space. The place for the meeting you can find at: https://hamburg.dissentnetzwerk.org/HamburgEnglish/ConvergenceCenter As a time we can set 4 pm but also later people will find informations there how to find us...

please do not wonder, why we do not answer mails in that periode :-)

political introduction

Unpacking the Biotech engines:

The manipulating voice of biotechnology lobbies promoting their agenda to people and State The last two decades the emerging techniques of Genetic Engineering and modern biotechnology have broadened the spectra of economic exploitation to fields previously unspoiled. Most big global players of Pharma-industry, Agri-chemicals and Bio-sciences have yet found in DNA decoding and modification innovating means to proliferate profits, raise property and spread dominion. Once again as for Nuclear Energy and Green Revolution the Biotech-Boom threats with its agenda to have devastating effects on social structures, primary production, people's intellectual property and living entity as a whole. Gene modification, cloning, living material patenting, pre-birth control, terminator technology are some of the new terms entering the scientific, and of course market place. On the other hand, state & sovereignty mechanisms found a perfect ally to maximise control and production efficiency. Bio-politics as a term is getting real-life implemented. A post-modern bio-controlling State is shaped and abandoned nightmares, like Eugenics, threaten to appear again in more flexible form. Beyond the description of facts & consequences of the biotech's onset, most methods of promotion and imposition follow well known tactics of public relation & state-corporation interaction aiming to social acceptance and unpleasant facts suppression. Biotech engines promote their agenda through well defined, as well expensive ways that target state, education, science and production. Peoples resistance developed since the very first moment has made their movements even more careful and sophisticated followed in many cases by support and protection of the state. Knowledge of biotech engines concrete tactics can challenge and offend the promotion of their agenda. Thus, the workshop, within the framework of the PGA meeting, will focus on the current functions of the biotech lobby as representative aspects of a huge issue of Biotechnology. Some thematics to cover would be: - Brief overview on biotechnology and gmo state-of-the-art today in Europe & worldwide - Biotech lobbies: The voice of biotech engines. Action and tactics. - Activism Vs the Biotech lobby in Europe & US. Case of Greece as reference example. - Other emerging technologies (nano-technology, RFID) - international networking , creating links between the movements of resistance all around the globe - international campain against the biotechnology of the domination - for an international meeting against the biotechnology of the domination during the g8 protests - international working group for a biotech topic in the 5th pga conference summer 2008 more info and contact at: antibiotec_resistance@lists.riseup.net http://berlin-infopoint.blogspot.com http://order81.blogspot.com

YET ANOTHER HOUSE SQUATED IN GERMANY

http://de.indymedia.org/2007/02/168494.shtml

Yet another house has been squatted in Freiburg in an ongoing string of
squatting actions precipitated by the preposterous housing prices in the
area, especially the lack of dignified and affordable housing for students
and low-income persons. The privatization-fetishist Mayor (Dieter Salomon,
Green Party) spends time coddling multinational real estate speculating
firms rather than maintain or create more affordable housing. He attempted
to sell off 7900 units of public housing several months ago but failed
when a referendum went markedly against the wishes of the pro-sell-off
alliance between the conservative CDU Party and the Green Party. Fuck him
and the party he rode in on.
Mayor Salomon has also eagerly called for substantial police violence
against squatters in the past (as well as students and activist
convention-goers), so it is expected that a horde of his green-clad
stormtrooper thugs will be arriving soonish.
