Ok, people, time for some serious shit now.

The controversial U.S. proposals for a missile defence system partly situated in Europe will be a major subject at the NATO Bucharest Summit in April 2008, NATO Secretary-General Jaap de Hoop Scheffer said Monday.

Right now, as I'm typing this, somewhere in the Eastern Europe, more exactly in Bucharest, there is an "historic" Coalition of the Organized Crime (aka Nato) summit. Bush, Merkel, Brown, Zapatero, Putin and all the Motherfuckers are there altogether, discussing lovey dovey stuff like missiles and more innocent people to be butchered in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Now, I am strongly against missiles, but I believe today I can make a concession. How about sending a big one right in that wretched hive of scum and villainy, called the House of People, the biggest building in Europe. And the most grotesque one, if I may say so. The world will be a better place with just one strike.

According to Wombles, one of the most important sites fighting social injustice, anti-NATO protestants were repressed by local authorities, in the name of national security.

One day before the start of the NATO summit in Bucharest the situation gets worse. Hourly alternative looking people are detained by the police for no reason. Afterwards the police construct absurd offence, for example carrying a pocket knife amounting to possessing a weapon.

Every person coming to or leaving the convergence center is in danger of getting detained (some simply for walking to a nearby shop). The detained are interrogated, photographed and fingerprinted in police stations, and held for up to 24 hours. At the Romanian border several groups of activists, as well as others, have been denied entry into the country.

The most involved Romanian activists around the country have at this point been visited or called by either the local police or SRI (Romanian Information Service) to be warned against participating in any anti-NATO protests or to have their families intimidated.

27000 police officers, military, snipers and secret police are occupying the city. The security alert code yellow has been announced, meaning that all demonstrations are forbidden in the whole city amongst other restrictive laws.

In the face of this repression the actions of the few activists present are severely limited. Therefore we urgently need your solidarity. Please make solidarity actions in your cities.

It's unbelievable these things happen in XXI century in an EU cuntry. We are nothing but mute slaves to this evil system? Bush chose the right location to ask the poor Eastern bastards for more cannon meat, some place where he can't be disturbed by irrelevant things like, say, public opinion. And the poor bastards will obsequiously accept his proposal, as human life is not of much value over there. Oh, and they will suck up to Americans, maybe, just maybe, some fucking big consortium agrees to open a new slavery factory over there. I want to throw up.

PS: Don't get me wrong, I love America like any ol' world girl who grew up watching Beverly Hills, worshiping Kerouac and listening to Metallica. In fact, if the whole world would be just one country, that country should definitely be America. But Bush? How could you let this happen, people???
