According to corporate media during the last fortnight, there was a wave of arson attacks in the Netherlands against cell phone repeaters. The last one reported by the corporate media took place in Groningen. “Fuck 5G” was written on one site.
The actions did not appear to be claimed. At least 15 attacks took place according to information released by the Dutch government through the media. Apparently, the first fire was in Beesd on April 4. Since then, transmission masts have also caught fire in Neerkant, Rotterdam, Nuenen, Dronten, Groningen, Oudenbosch, Veldhoven, Tilburg and Almere.

An instigator of the Groningen fire was caught on a surveillance camera.

Follow RT on New York City tenant groups have joined a growing movement for a statewide rent strike as the continued coronavirus shutdown makes working – and paying – impossible. The state’s eviction moratorium expires in June.
The majority of tenants in the Cosmopolitan Houses complex in Woodside, Queens have joined a rent strike that hopes to enlist upwards of one million New Yorkers, set to begin May 1, organizers told the Wall Street Journal on Monday. Strikers have pointed to the impossibility of making the steep monthly payments as the economy remains in suspended animation due to the coronavirus pandemic. Also on rt.com MILLIONS infected? Cuomo says NY antibody tests suggest Covid-19 less fatal than previously thought
The Queens tenant group is part of a growing movement aimed at convincing a sizable chunk of New York renters to withhold their payments next month in the hope of forcing state lawmakers to impose a “universal cancellation of any rent, mortgage or utility payments owed or accumulated during the length of this crisis.”
They hope to involve even those who can afford to pay, and have circulated a “rent strike toolkit” for would-be strikers interested in drafting in their neighbors. Strikers in New York are expected to be joined by groups in Philadelphia, Chicago, multiple California cities and elsewhere across the US.

Led by the Upstate/Downstate Housing Alliance, the New York rent-strike movement has brought together an impressive coalition of tenants’ rights and labor groups to petition for a total suspension of all payments for the duration of Governor Andrew Cuomo’s ‘New York Pause’ order, which has brought the state’s normally-bustling economy to a standstill and thrown millions into unemployment.
They also want a $10 billion investment in affordable housing, to include improving the quality of existing public housing, repurposing vacant properties into permanent housing for the homeless, and topping up the budget for subsidized housing.
While New York has adopted a three-month moratorium on evictions, the freeze is scheduled to end in late June and does not forgive renters’ mounting debts. Housing advocates are worried all hell will break loose when housing courts reopen and renters suddenly owe three months’ worth of payments.
Some 39 percent of New Yorkers were already living paycheck-to-paycheck in March, according to PropertyNest. With the state’s unemployment benefits website MIA for the first three weeks of the shutdown before rumbling back to life earlier this month, even those who were able to afford their rent for April may be looking at a lean May, especially given the city’s notoriously high cost of living.
Just 55.7 percent of New Yorkers surveyed by PropertyNest expected to be able to pay their rent “as usual” come May 1, though a sizable percentage more (15.8 percent) planned to borrow the money, pay late, or work out other agreements with their landlords.
Even before the coronavirus pandemic made New York its epicenter, striking down upwards of 17,000 people in New York City alone, both city and state were rapidly losing residents to economic factors. People have been fleeing the state due to its high cost of living for years, with their chief financial fear reported as “living in debt forever,” according to a 2019 survey by GoBankingRates.com – a worry that is unlikely to have evaporated now that so many have lost their jobs.
When the smoke clears, the eviction moratorium lifts, and landlords find themselves facing the possibility of trying to pay their own mortgages with thousands of vacant units, they may wish they’d been more patient with their struggling tenants.

Mustafa Koçak was on hunger strike 297 days. Musician Mustafa Koçak has become the latest member of the left wing of the Turkish band Grup Yorum to die after a long intermittent hunger strike to protest the legal action against the music group.
Helin Bölek’s music also ended on April 3 when she died in prison on hunger strike, accused also of terrorism for her songs… SEE BELOW.
The legal group Halkın Hukuk Bürosu, or the People’s Law Office, announced today, Friday, April 24, the death of Koçak on what he said was the 297th day of his hunger strike, and that his client he had not been granted the right to a fair trial. “You know the state murdered Mustafa for not listening to him in court,” the statement from the group of jurists said. Koçak called for a review of the trial in the face of the court’s obvious bias as well as the Yorum Group’s joint petition for almost a year:
– Withdraw ban on music band concerts and music
– Release of musicians arrested by Erdogan- Withdrawal of judicially opened cases
– Stop police assaults against the cultural center Idil
The Yorum Group is a left-wing Turkish folk music group. They have released
22 albums since its founding in 1985. Formed by four friends in 1985, it became popular in Turkey during the 1990s for its revolutionary themes and its combination of Kurdish and Turkish folklore, with lyrics dedicated to the struggle. against capitalism and imperialism.
Despite the many arrests and trials they have suffered (more than 400), the confiscation of their albums and the banning of their concerts, it is one of the best-selling and most listened to groups in Turkish history.
Some of its members ran an alternative cultural center in Istanbul. The band had given numerous concerts in Europe where a large Turkish community lives. In Turkey he had even gathered 200,000 people at his hugely popular concerts to mix modern music with Turkish folklore.
