Thousands of truckers are preparing to go head to head with the army in support of striking tanker drivers - and have warned they will 'bring Britain to a halt'.
They plan to blockade refineries and cause gridlock on motorways to stop soldiers moving fuel around the UK in the event of a strike.
Fuel Lobby leaders who are concerned at rocketing prices have formed an alliance with the tanker drivers, whose union bosses will begin talks this week to try to prevent strike action.
It follows a disastrous week for the Government after ministers faced intense criticism for urging motorists to keep their petrol tanks topped up - prompting a wave of panic-buying at filling stations across the country.
The truckers are led by farmer and haulier Andrew Spence, who was instrumental in the blockades in 2000 which led to 3,000 petrol stations running out of fuel.

NSA vs USA: Total surveillance zooms-in on Americans

US Ambassador to Afghanistan: kill ‘them’ tirelessly or ‘they’ will kill you
Carl Herman reports for the Examiner
US Ambassador to Afghanistan, Ryan Crocker, told a UK leading paper that leaving after ten years of war shows a lack of US patience, that all the US has accomplished so far is to kill the “slow and stupid ones,” and that killing in Afghanistan is important because somehow Afghanistan is a special place where terrorists would plan another 9/11 if the US stopped killing.
Please confirm Mr. Crocker’s assertions for yourself.
The basic intelligence test for the 99% is to notice these lies from Mr. Crocker and the UK corporate media:
- in omission because war law makes war on Afghanistan criminal, and the US attack on that country was in violation of two UN Security Council Resolutions,
- in omission because similar voices lied in every reason for war on Iraq,
- in omission because similar voices lie for every reason for war on Iran.
How to Communicate if Your Government Shuts Off Your Internet
Scenario: Your government is displeased with the communication going on in your location and pulls the plug on your internet access, most likely by telling the major ISPs to turn off service.
This is what happened in Egypt Jan. 25 prompted by citizen protests, with sources estimating that the Egyptian government cut off approximately 88 percent of the country's internet access. What do you do without internet? Step 1: Stop crying in the corner. Then start taking steps to reconnect with your network. Here’s a list of things you can do to keep the communication flowing.

Richard Gage founder and chief spokesperson of Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth is on a tour of 12 Canadian cities.
His aim is to demonstrate that the official cover story of the pulverization of three World Trade Center Buildings on 9/11 does not conform with the available evidence. This week his talks included a presentation to Prof. Anthony Hall's Globalization Studies students at the University of Lethbridge.
Gage's Canadian tour is timed to coincide with a petition, signed so far by 1400 Canadian citizens. It will be read into the record of the Canadian parliament by a principled parliamentarian who questions the veracity of the cover story fed to the world within hours of the 9/11 debacle.
Richard Gage demonstrated to students that, for the the official cover story to be true, many basic laws of physics and engineering would have had to be be suspended. As Gage proceeded to debunk numerous state-sponsored myths about 9/11 it became apparent to many in the audience that 9/11 could only have been a false-flag psychological operation orchestrated to provide a pretext for imperialist wars of aggression.
In particular, Gage drew attention to the collapse of World Trade Center 7 which fell symmetrically into its own footprint at 5:20pm without having been struck by an airplane. Many see the obvious controlled demolition of WTC 7 as the smoking gun of 9/11, as the most clear demonstration that the world has been subjected to a monstrous lie that purposely misrepresents the most important geopolitical event so far in the twenty-first century.
