It is. That magical time of the year that ends a 40-day 12-hour fast observance. Though I didn’t partake this year, I’ll be sure to be celebrating Eid. Especially since North America seems to be going mental over H1N1. Islands in BC are scared about the disease spreading far to thoroughly through the populace. Tourists have cut short their vacations.
Not so in countries with visibly large Muslim populations. Across the globe, people are pouring out to eat and be merry regardless of the hype. Celebrations in Indonesia, the UAE, Syria, Egypt and elsewhere have already been seen as some of the largest ever. It’s also been a time of inter-faith dialogue. IslamOnline had this excellent story about Hindus in India celebrating with Muslims.

As twenty leaders of the world’s richest countries arrive in Pittsburgh this Thursday, September 24th, they will be confronted by the forces of the nihilist Navy, a manifestation of the myriad escapees from the totality of coercive social relationships who have found refuge and sanctuary on the water.
In our analysis the G-20 represents a central institution in the orchestration of global hegemony and their project to invade the last autonomous spaces on this planet. We recognize the participants of this meeting as our enemies, and are therefore preparing an armada of vessels sailing under the black flag to blockade the waters surrounding the David Lawrence convention center on the opening day of the G-20 Summit.
“I don’t know if you know this, but the original draft of the movie star wars was not written by Lucas, the original draft was written by environmentalists. And it’s a little bit different”
Those were the first words I ever heard Derrick Jensen speak, and my world view has never been the same since. The year was 2006 and I had just moved to New York City to work for Democracy Now!. I was taping the Community Solutions conference, a peak oil convention held at Cooper Union. Unlike the other speakers, Derrick did not talk about about solar panels or wind turbines. He spoke of our culture’s systematic destruction of the planet and of the failure of the environmental movement. After hearing his talk, I immediately sought out his books and the first seeds of END:CIV were planted.
The “Star Wars” piece is one of Derrick’s best analogies, one that delivers a precise critique of mainstream environmental groups.

So you got some language skills and some time to burn? Why not translate one of our many videos.
We have uploaded several of our films to DOT.SUB on this link. But if there are films you’d like to translate and don’t see them there, shoot us an email and we’ll put it up. We also need folks to transcribe our videos for subtitling and future translations.
