Tamara Hernandez today accepted she tried to kill the head of the Prisons, the long hated Albert Batlle i Bastardas .
Albert had refused repeatedly to grant any clemency to the amazing anarchist prisoner Amadeu Castellas,
when he was on his 2nd hunger strike in 2009 after serving 22 years, way over his sentence.
The campaign for Amadeu went world wide, with daily attacks and demos all over, as he was apparently dying,
and put incommunicado in solitary by the same Albert Battle i Bastardos.
Tamara sent Albert a packet of gunpowder, 50 grams.
We had understood it wasn’t ‘loaded’ and was just a threat, but at the hearing yesterday the `police produced
‘proof’ that it was potentially lethal.
Then Tamara agreed a legal deal, her sentence was reduced from 17 to 8 years if she admitted it.
”I wanted to kill him”.. she said,. (well so did nearly everyone.)
SOLIDARITY DETAILS WILL BE PUBLISHED HERE WHEN AVAILABLE.
La Audiencia de Barcelona ha condenado a ocho años de prisión una joven anarquista por enviar un paquete bomba al ex secretario de Servicios Penitenciarios Albert Batlle en octubre del 2009. La chica ha aceptado los hechos y la pena, que se ha rebajado a la mitad respecto lo que pedía inicialmente la fiscalía.
Tamara iba a ser juzgada hoy en la sección séptima de la Audiencia de Barcelona, pero finalmente ha aceptado la rebaja de pena planteada por la Fiscalía y
Tamara''s attack on Albert Battle was to defend our comrade Amadeu Casellas, then dying on hunger strike due to Battle's refusal to grant basic human rights.
se ha conformado con una condena de ocho años de cárcel, la mitad de lo que el ministerio público pedía inicialmente para ella, según fuentes judiciales.
El fiscal pedía 16 años de cárcel por los delitos de asesinato en grado de tentativa (12) y tenencia de explosivos (4).
Ha habido una concentración en la entrada de la Audiencia de Barcelona, frente a fuertes medidas de seguridad, para protestar por la condena de la anarquista

About Marie
Marie Mason of Cincinnati, Ohio is a long time environmental and social justice activist and loving mother of two. On March 10th, 2008 she was arrested by FBI, Homeland Security and local police on charges related to two Earth Liberation Front actions that occurred in Michigan, in 1999, and 2000.
Marie’s case is one of the latest developments in what many have dubbed the “Green Scare,” a recent wave of government repression aimed at disrupting and discrediting grassroots environmental activism and criminalizing dissent.

The race is on to announce the discovery of the first rocky Earth sized planet with water in the habitable zone of a nearby star… NEW EARTH ONE.
'New Earth One' discovery imminent. the first rocky Earth sized planet with water to be found in the habitable zone of a nearby star.
13th Sept European Astronomers believe they have found a second planet outside our solar system that seems to be in the right zone for life, just barely., among 50mnew plant discoveries a
nnounced Monday, but it’s about 3.6 times the mass of Earth, temperatures there may range from 85 to 120 degrees with plenty of humidity, 35 light years away an
d may not have water .
We are living through an ast
onishing rush of new discoveries of planets in deep space.
Dozens of teams around the world are competing frantically to find such planets.
On 23rd Sept up to 1000 new planets may be announced by Nasa’s Kepler project which includes the orbiting detector, ground telescopes and supercomputers and focuses just on 1/400th part of the sky
Only in the last year have humans been able to detect Earth size planets, combining supercomputing, the latest techniques and space based observatories.
2011 Feb 2: Kepler-11 is a small, cool star around which six planets orbit
Only in the last months has it been proven that Earth sized planets are relatively common, so statistically there must be MILLIONS of th
em in the Universe
The latest batch of data from Kepler will be publicly released on Sept 23rd. Dozens of scientific teams are working flat out on the mass of new data already out.
Just 3 months ago an amazing new technique called BLENDER has come on line The blend of the foreground target star and the background eclipsing binary using the NASA supercomputer, Pleiades, to make more than 1015 (a 1 followed be 15 zeros or 1,000,000,000,000,000,000) or a quadrillion calculations to test a transiting planet.
Only last February the first roc
ky planet near Earth size was discovered. But it turned out to be an inferno.
Now there are 1000s of new candidates being discovered in just Kepler’s small field of vision, plus new planets being found by dozens of other discovery centers around the world, and huge new precision instruments being built.
Very soon the quest will not be for NEW EARTH ONE, but for which of many such planets really harbours life.

Its been a depressing race.. to see if 2011 will be the worst or the 2nd worst year for Arctic Ice loss. Now the first reports that it’s the worst ever are coming in.
Depressing and pathetic. At the North Pole Web cam 2 fell over on July 23 in the melted snow and ice, and now views only the sky.
The North Pole skull cap shrank to about half a percent under the previous record low set in September 2007. University of Bremen physicists said there was uncertainty in July about whether the ice melt would surpass the previous record.
They said their studies indicated that continuing ice decline was related to man-made global warming.
“It seems to be clear that this is a further consequence of the man-made global warming with global consequences,” researchers said in their report. “Directly, the livehood of small animals, algae, fishes and mammals like polar bears and seals is more and more reduced.”
As Arctic sea ice has continued to decline, it also has become drastically thinner overall, the report said.
The researchers said that previously the melting ice had been attributed to yearly weather anomalies. But now it is believed the massive melt is due in part to global warming and the increasing albedo effect, which has to do with the power of the surface to reflect sun. As more ice melts, instead of having white ice reflect more of the sun’s rays, you have a larger amount of open water that absorbs those same rays. Therefore, warmer temperatures lead to even more ice melting….A typical Runaway Climate Change loop.
What does this mean??
Loss of Arctic ice means…
Accelerated global warming, loss of habitat and species, worse ocean acidification threatening disaster, unpredictable methane blowouts from the seabed, methane release from melting permafrost ‘bogs’, (methane is shorter lived but more than 20 times worse than CO2), warmer oceans means more storms and hurricanes in the tropics, coral die off threatening biosphere, oil gas and mineral exploration and extraction, causing pollution and more climate change ( a man made feedback loop).
It’s not true that there is nothing we can do about climate change.
It’s not the heat we put out that is the problem, it’s the CO2,. There are plenty of other energy technologies that don’t produce CO2. It’s just a case of switching soon enough, before the change becomes irreversible. So it’s a very good idea to stir people up, because there’s a lead time and later may be too late. Alternatives include wind, sun, geothermal, and theres even a CO2-Free ”gasoline”.. NH3 fuel, which has been suppressed by big oil and could power cars, trains , planes etc more cheaply and pollution free.

Radiation leak risk after deadly French nuclear plant blast
There is a risk of a radioactive leak after an explosion killed at least one person and injured four others at the Marcoule nuclear site in the south of France, the state regulator said.
The French State's Nuclear Arms could destroy the Planet
National electricity provider EDF confirmed the initial death toll following the explosion in an oven at the site in the Rhone Valley near the southern city of Nimes.
One of the injured is in a serious condition, France’s Nuclear Safety Authority (ASN) said.
The blast hit the Centraco nuclear waste treatment centre belonging to EDF subsidiary Socodei, said a spokesman for the Atomic Energy Commissariat (CEA).
The site is around 20 kilometres (12 miles) north of the historic city of Avignon which is thronged with tourists at this time of the year.
“For the time being nothing has made it outside,” a CEA spokesman said, asking not to be named.
A security perimeter has been set up around the installation, firefighters said, without being able to provide further details. Expatica.com
Media speculations
The media is speculating if there is any truth in claims of radiation leakage risk but like we learned from Fukushima disaster we might never know what actually happened and what is the actual risk.
France is, I think, the most nuclearized state in the world. The French State has staked it’s industrial future on the lie that ‘Fukushima couldn’t happen here’.. Therefore it will do everything possible to cover up any health consequences. Therefore we should not believe any official explanations.
US Day of Rage, a group participating in the September 17th occupation of wall street, has just released a tactical plan and “HowTo” for holding a legal and nonviolent demonstration in New York City. Their plan clarifies many legal concerns that have been raised and offers a viable strategy for holding a prolonged occupation. This information can be found on their website:
We’ve just received our first five photo submissions for the We Are the 99 Percent project. Thank you very much to everyone who submitted a photo and we hope to see more soon!
Hey you jammers, dreamers, patriots and revolutionaries out there,
Our occupation of Wall Street is less than two weeks away … do we have it together?
The perpetrators of the massive financial fraud have been allowed to slip quietly from the scene and continue business as usual. Our elected representatives in Washington have become so tightly intertwined with the financiers and bankers that public accountability has all but vanished.
#OCCUPYWALLSTREET is all about breaking up that cosy relationship between money and politics and bringing the perpetrators of the financial crash of 2008 to justice.
On September 17, 20,000 of us will descend on Wall Street, the iconic financial center of America, set up a peaceful encampment, hold a people’s assembly to decide what our one demand will be, and carry out an agenda of full-spectrum, absolutely nonviolent civil disobedience the likes of which the country has not seen since the freedom marches of the 1960s.
From our encampment we will launch daily smart mob forays all over lower Manhattan … peaceful, creative happenings in front of Goldman Sachs; the SEC; the Federal Reserve; the New York Stock Exchange … and maybe even, if we can figure out where they’re being held, at the sites of Obama’s private $38,500 per person fundraising events happening somewhere in Manhattan on Sept. 19 and 20.
Our strategy will be that of the master strategist Sun Tzu: “appear at points which the enemy must hasten to defend; march swiftly to places where you are not expected.”
With a bit of luck, and if fate is on our side, we may be able to turn all of lower Manhattan into a site of passionate democratic contestation – an American Tahrir Square.
We will do all this with peace in our hearts. Our unshakable commitment to nonviolence will give us the spiritual strength we need to inspire the nation and to ultimately triumph in the weeks and maybe months of struggle that will unfold after September 17.
PS. Last week Anonymous endorsed #OCCUPYWALLSTREET with a video that attracted over 70,000 views. The Department of Homeland Security has warned the nation’s bankers to be prepared. Corporate owned media is taking notice. Yesterday, a columnist for MarketWatch.com posted a rousing portrait of what may now unfold:
“Listen closely. This is not another internecine political squabble. These revolutionaries are pushing America back to its roots. You sense they’re drafting a new Declaration of Independence, driven by the same powerful motivations as the 57 original signers who wrote: ‘Whenever any form of government becomes destructive … it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government.’ Back in 1776 King George III was the destructive force far away. Today greed is the corruptor, from within.”
S17 occupations of financial districts are also being planned in Milan, Madrid, Valencia, London, Lisbon, Athens, San Francisco and hopefully many other cities still to be announced. S17 could well be the catalyst that ushers in a new global economic order.
