El Kilombo Book Launch Sat 6th Sept 1pm @ Jura
*************************************************************************
Beyond Resistance: Everything! An Interview with Subcomandante Insurgente Marcos
This unique interview with the Zapatista spokesperson and military commander, Subcomandante Insurgente Marcos, was created and conducted by a community assembly in Durham, North Carolina, as a direct conversation between people in struggle in the United States and the EZLN. A year into the Zapatista Other Campaign in Mexico, this conversation marks a moment of change and transformation in how the EZLN has seen and spoken about the possibility of alternative politics in the US and the role of migrants, people of color, and others from below in creating such a politics.
"In this interview with El Kilombo, Subcomandante Marcos articulates more
clearly than ever before how Zapatista practices can inspire and link up with
liberation movements around the world. Read it and imagine how we can begin to do politics differently."
Michael Hardt and Antonio Negri, co-authors of Empire and Multitude
In a time of acute political crisis, widespread state repression of social movements, and increasing environmental devastation, the Zapatistas have re-emerged as a force for change, this time unarmed, coming down from the mountains and out of the jungle to meet with Mexicans across all sectors and people from all over the world to organize a new social force for anticapitalist struggle.
Includes an introduction by the El Kilombo Collective and Community Assembly, the interview with Subcomandante Insurgente Marcos, and the EZLN's Sixth Declaration of the Lacandon Jungle.
Proceeds from the book will go to the Zapatista communities in resistance.

Shut down the Adelaide arms fair - public meeting + film
In November, Adelaide will host the Asia Pacific Defence & Security Exhibition.
The last time the merchants of death brought an international arms fair (AIDEX) to Australia, activists from all over the country descended on Canberra and shut them down- it's taken them 17 years to get up the courage to try it again.
This meeting will be a chance to hear from a speaker from Adelaide involved in preparations for anti-APSDE protests, & someone who was part of the 1991 AIDEX protests in Canberra.
Public meeting:
Friday August 29
7.30
UTS
Film screening & discussion, with footage from the 1991 AIDEX protests:
Sunday August 31
5pm
Black Rose Books, 22 Enmore Rd, just near Newtown train station.
A Call against Global War Profiteers & the International Arms Trade
Mike Rann, the Premier of South Australia has announced that Adelaide will be host to the Asia Pacific Defence & Security Exhibition on 11-13th November 2008. The Asia Pacific Defence and Security Exhibition is an arms fair. Its purpose is to provide military companies from all over the world with an opportunity to display their latest war fighting machinery.
The Governments of France, Germany, Israel, Italy, South Africa, UK and USA have already booked major exhibition space for their military corporations to come to Australia and take up Mike Rann's offer to "survey the terrific business and investment opportunities" that APDSE will provide. No doubt many other nations will join the throng in the coming year.
These seven countries are together the source of at least 80% of all military equipment, from bombers and warships, through to cluster bombs and depleted uranium munitions, down to the more mundane run-of-the-mill guns, boots, bullets and surveillance equipment used to in the dozens of wars around the world today.
They are responsible for 80% of all the pain & suffering caused by militarism. For the deaths, for the amputees, for the rapes at gunpoint, for the detainees and refugees, for the orphans and the parents denied the right of dying before their children. These people are the real terrorists.
In a cruel twist the organiser of this death fair, Alex Nicholl, who also organises similar atrocities in the UK, has set the date for APDSE as 11th November, the day we normally stop and reflect on the horrors of war. To these people the remembrance of war holds no horror, only profit.
The best we can hope for is that Remembrance Day reminds them of the last time the masters of war came to Australia to peddle their wares.
This is the first major weapons trade fair since the Australian people put an end to the AIDEX 89 & 91 exhibitions in Canberra. In coming months the campaign to stop Australia being turned into a shopping mall for the world's killers will begin in earnest. We urge you to join us in stopping this happening for another 17 years.
