In the last couple of years demolition has began with rumours of an housing estate Union Carbide was involved in Bhopal This place is big and you need time, a relaxed mind (not drunk or stoned) good footwear and if you are going to climb then ropes and people with know how, plus parts of live during working days. There is security at the far end of the sight.

How to get there is a hard one, we do not recommend you walk down Clay wheels Industrial Estate itself, Clay wheels grew during the 2nd world war and we say walk back this way. Our Visit Bank Holiday Monday we walked past security gave a blag cover and was out.

Now turn left of the bridge now a narrow path (sometimes muddy) on you right is Bealey Woods, keep walking down and soon you will come to a fence, there is often a hole just keep looking one we used bank holiday was mid way down, just a little left of a lay-by in the road.

There is security on sight, and part CCTV (this looking over this lot)

He is static told not to move call the police, you are only doing trespass it is a civil matter. Make up some bullshit or say what you were doing and more often than not they will let you off. Of course you can leave by The Fence.

One of the two men who were arrested at Nottingham University under the Terrorism Act 2000 on Wednesday 14th May is facing imminent deportation. Both men were released without charge after having been detained for 7 days. But one of them, a 30-year old member of university staff and non-British national was immediately re-arrested under immigration legislation.

It has been reported that it is decided the original arrest has compromised his visa status, even though he was released without any charges. He now been moved to a detention centre and faces deportation on Sunday 1st June. The man was a well-known, widely liked and active on campus. Students, lecturers and the wider community have started mobilising to stop his deportation. Watch this space for updates.

Remember the Naqba

“The Arabs will have to go, but one needs an opportune moment for making it happen, such as a war.”
Part of a letter of the zionistic-Israeli politician David Ben Gurion, to his son, dd 1937

See for picture of Palestinian refugees:

http://www.palestineremembered.com/Articles/General/Story1649.html

Dear Editor and readers,

According to my opinion, there is no reason whatsoever to celebrate the 60 anniversary of the State of Israel [1]

The proclamation:

First, the State of Israel has been founded as a neo-colonialistic enterprise, seeing the acceptation of UN General Assembly Resolution, 181, in 1947, the socalled ”Partition Plan for Palestine”, without any voice for the native and rightful Palestinian population [2]

Moreover, the UN Resolution 181 was in contrary with the UN Charter regarding the rights of people on selfdetermination

Secondly, due to the onesided proclamation of the State of Israel, by the former zionist politician, Mr D Ben Gurion, dd 14-5 and the following military confrontation between the Arab troops and the zionist troops, the humanitarian consequences for the Palestinian civilian population were disastrous

It is therefore no wonder, the Palestinians call this the Naqba, which means disaster

For your information:

The onesided proclamation of the State of Israel, by the Israeli politician Mr D Ben Gurion, was the result of the General Assembly UN Resolution, nr 181, dd 1947, by which the members of the UN [3] decided to the ‘partition of the British Mandate Palestine, in a Jewish and an Arab part
Jerusalem was decided to have an international status

Palestine of 1947 is comparable geographically with Israel now, together with the occupied Palestinian territories

A Origins of zionism:

This UN resolution 181 was the result of the zionistic ideology, which was founded at the end of the 19th century by Mr T Herzl, which as an aim, the foundation of a Jewish State
Although in the beginning there was a difference of opinion regarding the location, soon was decided, that it had to be Palestine

B Balfour Declaration

By means of the Balfour Declaration, Great Britain guaranteed in 1917 to Lord Rotschild, chairman of the British zionist Federation, that in Palestine [till the end of the WO I a Turkish colony and from 1923, a British Mandate], Á Jewish National Home’ should be founded [4]

Altough there was a passage in the Declaration, that that nothing shall be done which may prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine”, by accepting a ”Jewish National Home” in the country of another people, the rights on selfdetermination of the Palestinian people were seriously violated

Even according to the colonial thought of that time, after the depart of the colonial occupation, the political and judicial power of the country should befell to the native population, in an independent Palestine

This is how it happened in African and Asian colonies and also in Middle Eastern countries like Iraq, Lebanon and Syria and the preparation for the independence of Palestine was also established in the Mandatory order of Palestine, which Great Britain officially got from the ”League of Nations’ [5]

However, because of the Balfour Declaration, the whole concept of Palestinian self-determination had been undermined

As well by means of the Balfour Declaration, as later, UN Resolution 181, behind the back of the Palestinian people, a part their country was being given to pioneers, who came from Europe, without any legal right to the country

The writer Koestler says about this Balfour Declaration:

‘With the Balfour Declaration, one nation solemnly promised to a second nation the country of a third.”

Therefore it is not astonishing, that the Balfour-Declaration and the zionistic aspirations and the British colonial role of divide and rule, provoked resistance in the Palestinian society

C The foundation of the State of Israel
Mass-slaughters, occupation and etnic cleansings

Humanitarian implications of the war in 1948:

The consequences of the acceptance of Resolution 181, dd 1947 and the onesided proclamation of the State of Israel, led to a war between the Israeli troops and the Palestinian and Arab troops, by which human rights violations and war-crimes were committed, on both sides [6]

Also of importance is to realize, that the Israeli military offensive, Plan Dalet, had the aim of expulsion of the Palestinian people and destroying as many as Arab villages

Referring to that occupation, I quote the ”introduction” to Plan Dalet:

´´a) “The objective of this plan is to gain control of the areas of the Hebrew state and defend its borders. It also aims at gaining control of the areas of Jewish settlements and concentration which are located outside the borders (of the Hebrew state) against regular, semi-regular, and small forces operating from bases outside or inside the state.´´

Regarding the deliberate destruction of Arab villages I quote Section B of the Plan:

´´Destruction of villages (setting fire to, blowing up, and planting mines in the debris), especially those population centers which are difficult to control continuously. … Mounting search and control operations according to the following guidelines: encirclement of the village and conducting a search inside it. In the event of resistance, the armed force must be destroyed and the population expelled outside the borders of the state. ´´ [7]

Etnic cleansings:

One of the most dramatic was the expulsion, by Israeli troops, of more than 750.000 Palestinian inhabitants, from their homes and land

In terms of International Law, those are etnic cleansings, which are strictly forbidden according International Law, article 49, 4th Geneva Convention [8]
This has formed the basis of the Palestinian refugee-problem

Despite the General Assembly UN resolution 194, dd 1948, which summoned Israel, to make those people return to their homes or else give them a financial compensation, either the first [make them return], nor the second [financial compensation] has been executed [9]

Consequence is that those people are condemned to a desperate existence in one of the many refugee-camps

Mass-slaughters:

Moreover, a number of mass-slaughters in the Palestinian Arab villages, by Israeli paramilitary terrorgroups [like Irgun and Stern] have taken place [10]
More than 400 Arab villages have been destroyed

Occupation, from the very beginning:

Israeli troops also conquered 20 percent of the areas, which according to Resolution 181, were the Arab part

The rest of Palestine has been conquered by the Kingdom of Jordan [West-Bank] and Egypt’[Gaza] [11]

D After 1948: 1967
Occupation, settlementspolicy, building of the Wall

After 1948, 1967:

But the tragedy is going on:

Since 1967, there is a nearly 41 years occupation from the Palestinian territories [the Westbank, Gaza and Eastern-Jerusalem], despite the unanimously accepted UN Security Resolution dd 242, which summoned Israel to withdraw its troops from all foreign territories, which were conquered in the june war of 1967, including the Palestinian [12]

Untill now, Israel has not executed this resolution

Old sins repeated
Etnic cleansings:

Also after the june war, 250.000 Palestinians were expulsed from their homes
Thus a repeated etnic cleansing, on a moment, that the whole Western world was backing Israel
This on a moment, that the whole Western world was backing Israel

In the Netherlands, the people said and proclaimed ”We are behind Israel”

Humanitarian consequences of the occupation:

Inherent to any occupation, so also the Israeli, are oppression, humiliations and human rights violations

Of course there came resistance, whether legal, by military attacking the Israeli occupation army, or illegal, by military attacking Israeli civilians, by suicide-attacks, or rocketing cities [13]

Israeli arbitrary military attacks:

Israeli crimes during the occupation mostly take form in arbitrary military attacks in dense populated areas or other civilian areas like refugee-camps, which is a serious violation of International Humanitarian Law

According tio International Humanitarian Law, all conflict parties, are obliged to make at all times, a strict distinction between combatants [military and fighters] and non-combatants [civilians] [14]

When there is no clear situation, for example the presence of fighters in civilian areas, which is often the case by Israeli military attacks, all measures should be taken to protect the civilian population
This is also the fundamental obligation, under the 4th Geneva Convention, of the Occupying Power, which is responsable for the safety, wellfare and wellbeing of ”protected persons” [people, who are living under an occupation)

It is obvious, that the protection seriously fails, by the use of anti-personnel weapons like clusterbombs or F 16's [which is forbidden according to International Law], and firing at homes and in other population areas.

The result is often, many civilian victims, which are war-crimes, since the risk of civilian death could have been foreseen. [15]

This also is the case, according to the Isaeli practice of liquidations of leaders or activists of Palestinian political organisations.
Not only are those liquidations illegal according to International Law, mostly the results are many civilian victims, since the liquidations are executed by bombing refugee-camps, appartments or air-attacks on dense-populated streets.

Punishment for war-crimes:

Not only those military practices stem from a total lack of respect for the right on life of Palestinian civilians, also individual military war-crimes, like shooting civilians [among else, children] or journalists, seldom are punished according to International standards
In some cases, there is whether a light prison punishment of a couple of months, or a sum of money, which have to be paid to the IDF, for breaking the ”military honour code”

In some cases, there is no trial at all [16]

Settlements:

Of great importance to be mentioned is the foundation, from the end of the sixties of the former century, of Israeli settlements in occupied Palestinian territories
Not only this is illegal according to International Law [17], moreover, the settlements are based on mass land expopriations, by which more than 100.000 Palestinians have lost land and homes
Yet apart from the utter inhumanity, those expropriations are contrary with the fundamental rules of the 4th Geneva Convention, that an occupying Power is responsable for the safety, wellfare and wellbeing of ”protected persons” [people, who are living under an occupation)

Despite international condemnation of the settlements, resulting in two UN Security Resolutions, one in 1979 [nr 446] and the other in 1980 [465], Israel has continued the building of the settlements.

Also Israel didn’t respond the agreements in the Roadmap for Peace, to freeze the expansion of the settlements, since untill now, there is an expansion in the West Bank and Eastern-Jerusalem

The building of the Wall, across Palestinian occupied territories:

The image of landtheft and injustice is completed by the building, accross Palestinian occupied territories, of the Israeli Wall
Despite the verdict of the ICJ [International Court of Justice], dd july 2004, which declared the building contrary with International Law, Israel is building the Wall, with the common displayed contempt for International Law and human rights [18]

Epilogue:

It may be obvious, that ”60 years Israel”, which is celebrating with such an enthousiasm in Israel, supported by certain Western leaders, is a mourning day for the Palestinians

With the right on their side, they consider the ”foundation” of the State of Israel, stemming from the colonial zionism, as a Naqba [disaster]

Not only in respect with the etnical cleansings and mass-slaughters in 1948, but also in respect with the occupation of their land, which is being suffered every day again

In remembrance of the victims of thishistorical shame and injustice

[2]

Yet apart from not hearing the voice of the Palestinian people, the UN resolution was contrary the UN Charter regarding the rights of people on self-determination, which included, that the whole part of Palestine should befell to the Palestinian people, as native people, who had been colonized

See

Article 1, 2, about the selfdetermination of all people, referring among else to the decolonisation-process
Evidently this principle was being ignored regarding the Arab-Palestinian population of Palestine
See
http://www.un.org/aboutun/charter/

Added information regarding Resolution 181:

Although the UN partition-plan for Palestine had been approved by the UN [by means of UN resolution 181], it didn’t imply yet the official acknowledgment of the ”Jewish State”, since there was still UN-discussion about the ”tutelage” of Palestine
Of course this ”tutelage” would be based on the approved UN resolution 181, in respect with the percentage of Palestine, which would be ”Jewish” [56,4] and ”Arab” [42,8] and Jerusalem, being a ”corpus separatum” [international status]

[3]

Most of the members consisted of still existing Western colonial Powers, which had no fundamental objection, in their strand of thinking, to violate the rights on selfdetermination of the native Palestinian people
Other non-western countries, which voted in favour of the Resolution, often were dependent on Western financial support

Plan Dalet

Israeli military offensive in the war dd 1948, with as most important aim the occupation of an important piece of the area, which was destined, by UN Resolution 181, to the Palestinian Arabs

Etnic cleansings:

Strong, overwhelming and scientifically well build evidence of those etnic cleansings is given by the Israeli New Historians and also from other historical surveys:

New Historians:

The then official Israeli history alleged, that the Palestinians have left their homes ”voluntarily” by a summon of the Arab army radio, to leave the area, untill the zionist military were defeated

This was already challenged by a great number of important publicists, among else stemming from the fact, that seen the refugee character, the people left in great panic
So childrens shoes were found, mothers left without taking their children, fathers without their families, old people were left behind or people left without taking any foodsupplies

However, the New Historians showed with strong scientific proof, greatly stemming from the Israeli army archives, that the Palestinian, instead, were expulsed by Israeli army troops and paramilitary terror organisations like Irgun and Stern

There is strong scientific evidence, that there has been a secret agreement between King Abdullah of Jordania and the zionist leadership, by which the king got the opportunity to conquer the now occupied Palestinian territory, the Westbank

There is another post but ill begin again..

I have talked to the owners of the old crown court Sheffield, you know what they do not want to let us in oh well..

So can i suggest a meet?

11 am Train Station Sheffield, to move onto park hill, for a little walk around and then up the hill to a nice grade 2 listed empty, then back into Sheffield for lunch (say 2 o clock) at the hen n chickens that is over the road from the old Sheffield crown court and now part empty coop buildings and other nice spaces..

Then at 4 over Sheffield to another nice grade 2 listed place i have tried to get into four times and on Saturday 10th may i was greeted by scrapers..

Once done there, a little drink in The Sheaf View, and if some are up for it onto pride on the same day and runs till 10 o clock..

Add your name here or give me a pm, you will need a head torch, strong shoes, cash for bus fair and drinks plus food and what else you might think of..

i seem to spend more time in conflict than peace, seem to have people telling me to fuck of politely then gaining friends or moving forwards

The simple act of forgiveness

The mother of murdered teenager Jimmy Mizen said yesterday that she felt sorry for the parents of his killer.

Margaret Mizen added that she had happy memories of her 16-year-old ‘gentle giant’ who was killed in an unprovoked attack in a bakery.

Mizen family
Jimmy Mizen’s family comfort each other

But she added: ‘I just want to say to the parents of this other boy, I want to say I feel so, so sorry for them. I don’t feel anger, I feel sorry for the parents.

‘Jimmy’s memories will go on for ever for us but they will only have real, real sorrow for their son.’ link

i woke this morning thinking fuck it all, go hug some tree once ive had a coffee and added this lot of images

i have been asking myself is there any point to friendship? asking do i simply move from Sheffield, but you see due to my own past actions i kinda find myself stuck in the ever decreasing circle of nothingness each day just the same as yesterday, and once i was free.

that is till i began to believe the bullshit and lies of others, now that freedom has gone and i need to implement some action to get it back. but all of this Utopian dreaming has a cost i live on 80 pounds a weeks, take the piss out of a close friend for the rest and therefor i have no real chance of even getting 400 pounds for a laptop. that would mean some form of liberation as i would not have to put up with those who ever so politely to tell me fuck of, and you know i mean this i desire so much to make the middle class history..

Sheffield Activist Network | 30.04.2008 16:55 | Anti-militarism | Iraq | Terror War | Sheffield
When anti-war activists turned up to confront Army recruiters at a Sheffield University careers fair, we weren’t sure what to expect…we definitely didn’t expect to be given a Barclays Bank stall to take over and flood with anti-militarist material, but that’s what we got.

Following in the footsteps of various other militant anti-war protests such as the disruption of arms dealers at a previous careers fair ( http://www.indymedia.org.uk/en/regions/sheffield/2007/11/384840.html) and the blockading of an army recruitment office on February 15th ( http://www.indymedia.org.uk/en/regions/sheffield/2008/02/391731.html), a few local activists decided to pay the Army a visit at the Sheffield University Spring into Jobs fair. We marched in, blockaded their stall with our trusty “Get your bloody hands off our students” banner, began giving out anti-recruitment leaflets, and waited for university security to throw us out…when a security guard did turn up, he was unexpectedly friendly, and in a bizarre turn of events agreed that, since Barclays Bank hadn’t turned up (which should cheer up any weary activists – a small group of troublemakers managed to get our act together enough to turn up at the fair, but one of the world’s biggest banks totally failed to do so), we could take over their stall.

Having gone down there expecting a brief confrontation followed by a more-or-less humiliating ejection, we were instead given a space inside the careers fair to disrupt the parade of glossy corporate recruiters with our tatty homemade banners and class-based anti-militarist leaflets. This was especially handy since there’s a campaign being launched to get the students’ union to ban military recruitment altogether, so we were able to spend a few hours gathering signatures in support of the motion from within the belly of the careerist beast. The weirdness of the occasion crossed over into being positively dreamlike when a friendly graduate recruiter approached us, explaining that he was concerned our banners (the “…bloody hands…” one and another reading “100% need not apply”) didn’t make it clear enough that we were targetting the army, and gave us a plan of a power plant so we could scrawl anti-military slogans on the back.

It’s worth noting how easily we managed to drive the military recruiters away – we’d been expecting some macho meatheads who’d get aggressive with us, but instead when we turned up and unfurled our banners the guy behind the stall (a Colonel, according to his nametag), just legged it and waited until we’d retreated to our stall before he got back behind his. A security guard explained that he didn’t want to get into any confrontations, which seemed to raise the question of why the delicate flower had joined the sodding Army in the first place. Should also mention that as there were a few animal liberationists present, and the animal-abusing scum of Procter & Gamble had a stall at the fair, we also managed to find a bit of room for anti-P&G material. I can’t find any info on how much stands at this one cost, but stalls at the next careers fair are priced at £920 (plus VAT) for a small stand and £1020 for a big one, which means that every corporate employer there would’ve paid around a grand for their space, while we got to stand there agitating against the military (and animal testing, and the capitalist system that drives all these horrors and many more) for free. Result!

Two bed sheets – £5
photocopied anti-recrutment leaflets – £7
clipboard and pens – £3
Stall at Sheffield University Job Fair courtesy of Barclays Bank – £1020

Blockading an army recruitment stall and being rewarded with a free platform to openly propagate your anti-militarist, classist ideas – priceless
