Resistance camp against EU-summit



Watch out!  It's an            International Camp against the EU summit

28 May — 7 June Cologne

WHOSE SIDE ARE YOU ON?

From 3-4th June, Europe's politicians are meeting to discuss the further
development of Europe.  Topics that they will discuss include an Early
Warning System to alert European governments of illegal migrations, more
effective ways of working together in order to strengthen Europol (the
European police organisation which focuses on international issues such
as terrorism), co-ordinated strategies against international criminal
organisations, and the establishment of guidelines for the media.
So.  Good.  More controls on those dangerous refugees and environmental
activists.  A stronger police state — this should help us all sleep
sounder in our beds!  Self-censorship for the media — another great
idea!
Unfortunately lots of leftwingers, student layabouts, eco-warriors and
other anti-social persons are intent on disturbing the civil order with
their irresponsible protest against the plans of our democratically
elected representatives, who are, after all, only working for the common
good.  It is rumoured that some of these international terrorists are
also pacifists, who even disagree with the war in Kosovo!!!
These undesirables will have a camp in Cologne from 28 May — 7 June,
where there will be an open forum for discussion of EU- related issues
and space for the planning of actions.  People at the camp will be able
to attend the demonstrations and alternative/counter summits or organise
their own political actions in the city.

The EU Camp

Vegetarian/vegan breakfast can be bought on site, other meals can be
aquired. The camp will consist of several parts, such as a early
sleepers and a late sleepers area and a women and lesbian area.
 Bring: tent, cup and plate, sleeping tat.  Musical instruments,
juggling gear, tripods, tree climbing stuff, banners, tarps, art
materials, good humour.  Create the space that YOU would like to live
in!
Do not bring:  valuables except what you will carry with you.  Dogs.

Camp99
Those troublemaking folk will be back for another camp against the G8
summit, 15 — 20 June!  Five days of culture (if you can call it that,
these people haven't had a proper education!), action, and
demonstrations bigger than you ever thought possible.  Scandalous! Come
there and meet 500 activists from India!

Important information: Police state:
It is illegal to walk around in Germany without valid ID (passport), and
they will probably be checking!  Also, do not bring illegal drugs,
unless you would like to be arrested for something non-political.  The
place is likely to be CRAWLING with police — this is going to be the
biggest display of resistance in years!
