  ‘..We dressed up and paraded, accompanied by a Rebellious Pussy through the streets of Seville on May 1st, 2014, as a metaphor of what we DON’T want to be: submissive trapped women..

Next thing  the feminists were charged with a crime of incitement to discrimination, hatred and violence for reasons related to religion, for parading their giant pussy with the CGT anarchist union on the workers demo.  (full report here English/Spanish) .

 In Spain the custom is to carry effegies of the Blessed Virgin, especially in Andalusia,  solemnly round the barrios demonstrating Catholic power.
Carrying a gigantic pussy instead is seen as sacrilege by the far right
Association of Christian Lawyers who demanded up to 4 years prison plus fines, and have taken a whole series of cases against collectives promoting sexual freedom, workers rights, Basque autonomy, etc..

The CGT supported the rebel pussy with legal help and their own pussy parade, and various feminist movements have followe suit,  see photos

Multiple Lockdowns Prevent Pipeline Construction in Two Vermont Counties

We can’t afford another 50 years of relying on extreme energy and endless economic growth at the cost of human and planetary health.

Williston, Vt. – Members of the Stop the Fracked Gas Pipeline Campaign are blocking pipeline construction, enforcing what they call a “keep fossil fuels in the ground” strategy to avert the worst impacts of global warming.

Several people are locked to equipment, and others are blocking an access road to stop construction. Participants say they need to take direct action to stop the pipeline because state regulators and Governor Shumlin have refused to cancel permits, despite a groundswell of opposition to the project over the past three years.

Economist Michael Hudson says neoliberal policy will pressure U.S. citizens to emigrate, just as it caused millions to leave Russia, the Baltic States, and now Greece in search of a better life

A research team from Columbia University’s Mailman School of Public Health in New York estimates 875,000 deaths in the United States in year 2000 could be attributed to social factors related to poverty and income inequality.cemeteryAccording to U.S. government statistics, 2.45 million Americans died in the same year. When compared to the Columbia research team’s finding, social deprivation could account for some 36% of the total deaths in 2000.

“Almost all of the British economists of the late 18th century said when you have poverty, when you have a transfer of wealth to the rich, you’re going to have shorter lifespans, and you’re also going to have emigration,” says Michael Hudson, Distinguished Research Professor of Economics at the University of Missouri-Kansas City.Corporate America

Many countries, such as Russia, the Baltic States, and now Greece, have seen a massive outflow of their populations due to worsening social conditions after the implementation of neoliberal policy. Continue reading “TTIP will Kill Millions of Us… Neo-Lib Capitalist Austerity already has!”

CkM1bJOXAAEEDIu Kurdish city of Nusaybin: no, not nuked but obliterated by Turkish airforce

Last weekend Turkish flags were raised above the ruined city of Nusaybin as a sign of victory over the Kurdish population that once lived there. The city was destroyed because President Erdogan – a dictator by deed – wanted to assert his authority over the Kurds and to punish them for the resistance to that authority by the PKK (Kurdish Workers Party). The obliteration of the city was not just an act of revenge but collective punishment, reminiscent of the Nazis during World War II when in retaliation to local resistance whole villages were burnt to the ground and local people executed.

Now we are seeing ethnic cleansing on a scale not witnesssed since the breakup of Yugoslavia. And just as UN peacekeepers were shown to be ineffective to stop massacres, such as Srebenica, so today the UN…

NOTHING IS OVER: WE NEED TO ACCEPT THE CONSEQUENCES OF OUR CHOICES

‘Anarchist prisoners are not alone’ and ‘if they touch one, they touch all’ are slogans that lived once again in the everyday anarchist action before, during and after the trial against us.
The screams of disgust for authority that pierced the police control and the walls around those on trial clearly enraged the judge and magistrates, as was evident on their faces and which put smiles on ours.

The presence in court of dear ones known and unknown filled us with pride and joy, preventing the prosecutors’ accusations and demands from having any possibility of intimidating us.

They can’t stop us. The acts of solidarity and the negation of the existent that have multiplied in various are further proof of the fact that we are everywhere, for us borders do not exist and solidarity is inseparable from our practice.

Regaining hope in Rojava: ‘Way beyond Feminism as we Know it’.

from JO MAGPIE at  open democracy  with thanks
This is a revolution in consciousness, not only in politics, and it has transformed the lives of countless women and men for generations to come.

Sometime in early February, I was excited to receive an invitation to participate in a women’s delegation to Rojava, the de-facto autonomous Kurdish majority region in northern Syria. The delegation was open to women journalists, activists and lawyers, and would be timed to coincide with International Women’s Day.

I arranged to go with two people I hadn’t met before: Ali, a friend of a friend, and Kimmie who I had interviewed over Skype for my book about female hitchhikers. She had already hitchhiked all around West Africa solo and had been blogging about Kurdish and Middle-Eastern issues recently, so she seemed like a good candidate for an adventure. None of us had any idea what to expect, not really. But we are all very open, flexible, and up for a challenge… continues below..
