Message-ID: <2A83E093C00040A3A38638435DDABA0B@jom2m>

Tomorrow is Liberation Day. The National Committee for 4 and 5 May called on 
Dutch citizens to pass freedom on. On the 6th of May we do that.

http://solitours.wordpress.com/

We pass freedom on to migrants in detention. The freedom to communicate. We 
give you a phone number and we invite you to tell us your story. If you want 
we record your voice and publish it in our media.

We pass freedom on to the guards, We offer you the freedom to open the 
doors, the fences and the gates. To set the prisoners free to walk like a 
man.

We pass freedom on to politicians, The freedom to reflect and correct. The 
pursuit of happiness is not a crime. The right to find a way to make a 
better life. Your freedom is my freedom.

Let us celebrate this freedom everyday.

Subject: <m2m-eng> Welcoming the Iraqi invasion
Message-ID: <38CB605308E34ED09FAB3796D178F0ED@jom2m>






On the occasion of the action by refugees-on-the-street who started a camp 
outside the Collective Center at Ter Apel in the north of the Netgherlands 
on the 8th of May, Jo van der Spek of M2M wrote the following column.




Welcoming the Iraqi Invasion Act
Finally it is not the USA that invades The Hague, in order to prevent
the application of international justice to American citizens-
soldiers. No, it's Iraqi citizen-migrants occupying common ground in the
north of the Netherlands in an effort to force a radical change in
the application of human justice to migrants that are so far denied
acces and basic rights.
This act of occupation by a fast growing number of mainly Iraqi 
refugees-on-the-
street is well timed and also well suited to create an uplifting
experience amidst the general lethargy that still covers Holland like
a blanket of mental smog.

Like somany times before in history an external agent, through an
unexpected and autonomous action, is now intervening in the Dutch
political landscape, at a moment that everyday political life is in a
highly unstable state: no government, a parliament trying to gain legitimacy 
and a queen dying to hand-over sovereignty to her son. The direct cause for 
this current limbo lies in
the response to the economic recession and the European conditions
forcing even a rich country like Holland to take extreme measures of
austerity. However, the cornerstone of change, the hinge on which the minds
and hearts of a significant section of youth and mindful adults may
move, is the approach towards migrants and world affairs in general. Poverty 
is moving in and migrants are dying on the shores of Europe. Soon we will be 
drifting together if we don't take drastic action.

Finally we see the face of globalization reflected in the mirror that
Brussels and Ter Apel are holding up for us to see. We see
Geert Wilders as just another make-over of Batman, unmasking himself
as just another copy cat of Pim Fortuyn, only adding to the
pitiful frustration of the merciless masses voting for him, proving
once again time for messiah is over. One man will not make the
difference. Ask Obama.

Finally the Joker hits back. After two exercises last winter led by Somali
brothers and sisters camping in the cold outside the deportation
complex of Ter Apel, now the weather is fine and time is ripe for the
real thing. These poor asylum seekers, strangled by foreign police
and immigration service IND, mentally broken by the thousands in
administrative detention, suffocated by laws and lawyers, made
dependant on charity and church, are finally showing who they really
are: human! They can really move! They are not victims but actors!
They can be tourists like you and me!

So let us not help the occupiers in Ter Apel.
Let us not support them, don't give them tents, blankets or telephone
credit. Do not bring your redundant laptops, i-pads or even worn-out
army boots and leather jackets to their field of honour.
No, embrace their exemplary autonomous action, join Ali Aziz and Hadi Abu 
Sanad
like in the 16th century we embraced the House of Orange, invading
the Dutch swamps at nearby Heiligerlee.

Temperature is rising, parliamentary politics is exhausted, corporate
business is selling out to China's communists and Mexican coke dealers.

We got to save ourselves.

We are  here, we the people, we make the difference, we have no borders to
cross, we have no cross other than our own indulgence in apathy.
Let's throw it off and start the summer.

Leave your squat and camp out.
Send your children abroad after the exams and restore disorder at home.

Forget your mortgage, bury your debts and love your neighbour.
Let migrants invade this place and help us chase away the ghosts of
Rawagade, Srebrenica, the Schiphol Fire and most of all the mist of
mental misery hanging over us.

Message-ID: <FDB5DE9B79374D2B8AC51A9437FB42BF@jom2m>

M2M's director Jo van der Spek drove to the action camp of undocumented 
migrants in Ter Apel on Monday 14th of May to give communication support to 
the growing movement of refugees on the street.  The camp is now a week old 
and is growing to hundreds of people including women and children. As soon 
as we have power and connectivity we can start streaming and publishing the 
news directly from the action site.

More than 200 people from Iraq, Somalia, Iran and other countries have come 
to the common ground next to the deportation complex in the North of 
Holland.

They demand the right to live a decent life in the Netherlands, at least as 
long as they cannot return to their country for security reasons. The 
current government believes they can return safely and voluntarily. To force 
them they are denied all basic human rights like shelter, health care, etc.

Apel Camp Newsbulletin 19th of May 2012, by Ahmed Mustafa for M2M

A visit from the PvdA, the Dutch Labour party.

Two members of parliament of the PvdA made an hours long visit to the camp
on Saturday. Sharon Dijksma, the high-ranking spokesperson for migration
came with Tjeer van Dekken who lives in Groningen and they were
accompanied by Richart Joling, the active regional board member. They
talked with many people and said they will try to find a good solution.
M2M made interviews with each of them.
On Tuesday the Parliament will vote about the situation. The question is:
Is there a hope from you to us?
Joling: I have not a lot of hopes.

Again a doctor came to our camp to treat people in a dedicated tent. Seven
people went to the hospital in Emmen. One of us will get treatment for his
eye. Thank you Juno from Zaandam for being with us.
Also 6 people had to go to a dentist. But on Saturday and Sunday we could
not find a dentist willing to help in Emmen or Stadskanaal, so not in
Drenthe and not in Groningen province. We will try again on Monday. There
is a real good dentist in our camp, but he has no tools. He could really
help many brothers and sisters if he can borrow some equipment.

>From Germany came a group of 8 people bringing food, clothes and water in
a big car. They said: This is not humanity. The group is called Hard core
help.

All day mister Aksaray and sons was on the parking with his Doner kitchen.
He gave his day and all good food to all people of the camp. Teshekkuur
edderrem!

Many people from around Ter Apel brought a lot of things like food and
clothes. On woman in a wheel chair is called Marritt, her age is 35 years.
She has a website www.hulpterapel.nl and I think that she cooked a kind of
cakes herself. And also two women from a church in Emmen came and offer
help to us.

A group from Zeeland of 4 people made a nice party today from 4 till 5
with the poet Wim de Neef and singer Harry Loco. They played nice songs
about peace, hope, love and being humans. The performance was called Love
and Light.

We also had problems. One generator did not function, so most of the day
we had no power supply. In the evening also the internet connection was
lost, because our friendly neighbour could not use his telephone anymore.

The good news was that M2M got a TV and a Digitenne from neighbours, so we
could all watch the cup final between bayern and Chelsea. The Somali clan
was extremely happy when Chelsea won.

Somebody also started to make a chalk drwaing on the street: WE ARE HERE

Did you know that the monastery of ter Apel, built from 1464 is called
City of New Light?

Ter Apel Camp News Bulletin

Tuesday 22 May



A     NEW LIGHT







Iraqis all refuse to give up the camp. Somali?s take time to decide.



Today the parliament  voted against a proposal to review all cases  
of  Iraqi asylants. Minisiter Leers tried to convince a delegation of  
the campers to return voluntarily and to give up the camp. His offer  
to give shelter for three weeks was rejected and the Iraqis will  
stay  in the camp in ter Apel. The Minister thinks he can make a deal  
with his Iraqi counterpart in three weeks.

The Somali group is talking all day about the situation and may reach  
a decision in the night.



The leadership of the Iraqi?s wants another meeting with Mayor  
Kompier and is also considering going to court against a possible  
violent eviction og the camp.



Yesterday the mayor once again  came to the camp. She told Ahmed  
Mustafa of M2M that she wanted to see the situation and to know what  
we need. She said she was proud of the fact that the camp is still  
growing in size.



Health situation



Six people are waitingsince last Saturday for a dentist to relieve  
their pain. Today two Dutch women worked hard to find a dentist in  
the neighbourhood, but nothing worked. M2M talked with dentist van de  
Beemt in Emmen. He explained that this is a very special situation  
and that the mayor should organize a table meeting to solve the problem.





Transport initiative



Many people want to come and help but don't have transport. Others  
come by car and can take passengers. To travel together we use a  
website called datumprikker, date picker in English. It is open for  
all to use:



http://www.datumprikker.nl/dp/scripts/event_register.asp? 
key=p9tobdpz1nkgp



The Internet connection is working again, after an interruption a  
day. Now only problem is that this public service is interrupted when  
the generator stops, when the petrol is finished. But we can produce  
our own information service to the world. And see what the world says  
about us.





Media



The M2M Media tent is run by Ahmed and Sam. Here we can publish on  
facebook and youtube and twitter and make intervieuws and photo's and  
newsbulletins, etc.



Tent 27 on the central village square. We call it New Light.

Ahmed made an interview with a teacher of a school in nearby Emmen  
and he would like to make small stories and put them up with photos  
in a school to show to the people outside the difference between us  
and them. Also a radio rperson from  Hilversum interviewed me with a  
lady from Africa. Tanja went home and left her laptop and taught me  
how to publish the news in :



www.livestream/occupynederland



On Sunday evening all memebers of parliament received the Youtube  
film of the camp. This one made by Huib and Moniek of FAIRbeeld.



http://youtu.be/ETNCL3nzzTU



The TV set was taken back. Many people were so happy to watch the  
match on it.



Tobias Mueller, reporter for German newspaper Die Tageszeitung got  
all our attention. He made interview with Al Ani, the initiator of  
this camp. His article should be published (in German) on Wednesday.



Tanja from Groningen came with a camera to make a live stream and  
filming your M2M reporter when he was talking with the mayor.



Culture



The coming weekend is a Christian celebration of the Holy Spirit.  
There are many festivals: in Rotterdam Dunya, in Nij,egen the Music  
Meeting and in Appelscha the anarchist freedom camp.



On June 2nd and 3rd there is a meeting of the Dutch No Border  
networik in eden Doloder.



Vacancies



Newsroom of M2M is looking for staff:



Reporters, editors, facebookers, uploaders, downlaoders,  
distributors, painters and cable boys. But also DJ's, photographers,  
printers and translators. For graphic designers we have also work:  
deisgning this news bullletin! Welcome in M2M?s Media tent 27.
