Update from the capital of resistance in Germany

Coming into the first national action camp in Stuttgart hitchhiking form Berlin, it felt quite like coming home. Known faces, smiles and just positive energy. After helping out with the peoples ktichen I took a rebel clowns army workshop, which was a blast, and then a quick shot at a friends extremism ("and kinds of simplified models") workshop and finally went into the big tent for a stunning concert from Afreaks and Konstantin Wecker (German Icon of singer/songwriter resistance music)...after playing some music at the fire and watched a Gorleben movie on the local movement against nuclear energy I was falling asleep in a heap of hay in the circus tent. (Stuttgart plans to block Neckarwestheim II in August for a week Germanys youngest nuclear power plant which went to the grid in 1986 --> yes, right after Tschernobyl (WTF?!)) Sunday (yesterday) some more cooking for the kitchen and then two very important Guerilla-TV workshops on building a public media which is not brainwashing and right into the movements, actually cams21 (the S21 internet media 30.000 hits a day (!!!)) is providing the technique and infrastructure for cams34 - the offical channel for the spanish revolution and is in regular contact with the "speaker" of the spanish revolution...hit spanishrevolution.eu for more insight and live pictures from "Tahrir Square" Madrid. Built important contacts for the summer and our plans in that terms and had some good discussions with fellows on "The coming rebellion" ( http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki7Der_kommende_aufstand ). Then I was inaugaurated by the actionsupport team into my task as a communcator for the big blockade that is running right now...I have the night shift from 00.00-05.00 again and just on a quick break to restore form 2 full days and 6 hours of sleep. After a huge storm and some minor preperations for the action, I finished cooking and giving out food with the kitchens team and the saw a movie on Val de Sousa...the most actual biggest rebellion in Italy 50.000 people resisting for more 20 years the part-destruction of their valley..I tried to catch a dose of sleep but had to get up at 03.00 for the action..so everything is fine we are about 300-350 people blocking the groundwatermanagement..this morning two construction vehicles tried to enter but gave up pretty quick as police wants everything but an escalation..so everything is really easy..playing a lot of music with a percussion group singing the S21-songs and every now and then I sent some updates over the loud speakers...now I have to sleep to be fit for the night...I guess we see what will happen the next days. Best wishes and keep me updated on news from you!!
