Bob Torres’ new book “Making a killing” is out now. He’s one of the authours of a book I just finished reading “Veganfreak” and a part of the podcast duo over at Veganfreak radio podcast.

He and Jenna over at the podcast makes a really good show, the kind I enjoy listening to, and I recomend it to everyone, even if you just want to check out what all the crazy vegan stuff is about.

The new book, which I’m ordering in a day or two, is for the people on the left (politically) and for animal rights people alike. The companion site to the book probably talks about why you should read this a lot better than I can before I have the chance to pick it up. But as I see it, it’s talking about issues that really needs to be talked about.
Animal Rights questions and the way capital controls our world is soo deeply interlinked that any movement that dosen’t consider both of them, is a weaker movement by far.

Every form of suppersion is related, this is pretty evident when you start to read books on topics such as feminism, capitalism, war, propaganda, poverty and social justice. If you start questioning one you have a hard time not going further. And the way I see it, if you want to change the world you need to get the big picture, if not your going to be less effective as well as actually harming the causes your working for. I’ll rant about this more in a day or two. Right now I’ll just recomend that you go and check out the book, or at least the podcast. Ok? Give it a try, you might just challange some views, or at least consider some new ideas.
Challanging yourself is almost as good for you as spinach

Saturday 6th of October there was another fight in Denmark.

A group of radical youths (between 3000-6000 people, the police gives the lowest number, the news stations say 4-5000 and other sources says 5-6000) held a peaceful demonstration. One bottle was smashed, and others immediately told off the person responsible for this in the march.
As this was a peaceful march several children were present.

The police on the other hand showed up in complete riot outfit, batons, dogs and large amount of teargas. All of this was used at the slightest provocation.

Read the blow by blow account here in english/danish.

I think this is terrible, all they wanted was to get a fucking house! The house is large, owned by the state and has not been in use for 13 years.

This a part of a longer fight the youth house has had going on, G13 is the new name for the people that used the old building harboured. I think we’re going to hear more from them…
