THE DEBRIEF: ‘LET ME TELL YOU FIRST OF ALL, I HAVE ZERO INTEREST IN BEYONCÉ’ – HEATHER AGYEPONG SPEAKS TO BEVERLEY BRYAN, A FORMER BLACK PANTHER, ABOUT THE FEMALE BLACK PANTHERS OF BRIXTON.
reblogged with thanks..

First confession, I don’t deny how hugely talented she is but I am not exactly the world’s biggest Beyoncé fan (cue face with open mouth emoji). When her now infamous Super Bowl performance landed in our Twitter feeds last month, it seemed everyone and their dog launched into a critical analysis of her true intentions (including me). Her performance and the video for Formation drew on lots of topics Continue reading “INSPIRATION FROM WOMEN BEHIND BRITISH BLACK PANTHERS”

Put on your thinking caps because all four Zapatista textbooks from the  widely popular escuelita (little school) have been translated to English.

Catalonia may CheckMate Spain On Overdue Bank Loans

concierto-normal-672xXx80Spanish politics is a mess.

  from ZeroHedge with thanks.  Everyone knew, going into last fall and winter, that the waters were about to get decidedly choppy. At the national level, Podemos was ascendant as Pablo Iglesias rode a wave of anti-austerity sentiment straight to the front of disaffected voters’ collective consciousness.

A nation beset by sky high unemployment had grown tired of the PP and PSOE duopoly that had dominated Spanish politics since at least the late 80s. Between Podemos and Ciudadanos, a shakeup was virtually assured.Familias-con-sus-ninos-a-favor-de-la-independencia-el-pasado-11-de-Septiembre

review: The Fakir of Florence + The Anarchist Revelation..Paul Cudenec’s Anarcho-Spirituality

thefreeonline's avatarThe Free

united struggle..diverse freedom, 2 Publications on anarchism have been thriving since the early 2000s. Yet, there is still a place for surprisingly unique releases. Paul Cudenec’s The Fakir of Florence, March 2016, explores the relations between anarchism and philosophy, psychology, and religion.
 The Fakir of Florence is his first novel, following from his philosophical masterpiece The Anarchist Revelation which attempts no less to equip contemporary anarchism with  the transformation not only of society’s structures but also of people’s souls. People looking for in-depth analyses of governmental bodies, labor conditions, or gender and race relations might have to turn somewhere else. No single book has it all.fakir
Paul Cudenec is both a committed activist and a scholar who seems able to synthesize the insights of the past from the roots of anarchism to Sufism to astrophysics. Cudenec provides evidence that anarchism’s roots lie partly in this life-embracing source of inspiration, the bringer of art and poetry…

This video shows an European bison ‘dancing’ in Belarus.

A 14 March 2016 report by Dutch NOS TV says that European bison will come to the Dutch Veluwe region soon.

In mid-April the animals will be brought there from Germany, and will be set free.

Last week in nature reserve De Maashorst in Brabant province bison were also introduced. In the Zuid-Kennemerland National Park the animals have been around for longer, since 2007.

The European bison is akin to the American bison. The animal lived in prehistoric times throughout Europe. Currently there are only five thousand European bison worldwide.

Caminada per la solana de Montserrat

Una vintena de cames (dividiu per dos) s´enfilaren pel corriol del Clot de la Mònica, a la solana montserratina fins a assolir les baumes del que va ser en el seu dia l´ermita de Sant Onofre. L´ambient monàstic i heremita no impedí a la gent del GMC compartir unes avellanes i baixar trescant pel camí de les Bateries. Perquè al GMC, no deixem ningú enrera, oi?

February Smashes Earth’s All-Time Global Heat Record by a Jaw-Dropping Margin

By Jeff Masters and Bob Henson

March 14, 2016 “Information Clearing House” – “WunderBlog” – On Saturday, NASA dropped a bombshell of a climate report. February 2016 has soared past all rivals as the warmest seasonally adjusted month in more than a century of global recordkeeping. NASA’s analysis showed that February ran 1.35°C (2.43°F) above the 1951-1980 global average for the month, as can be seen in the list of monthly anomalies going back to 1880. The previous record was set just last month, as January 2016 came in 1.14°C above the 1951-1980 average for the month. In other words, February has dispensed with this one-month-old record by a full 0.21°C (0.38°F)–an extraordinary margin to beat a monthly world temperature record by. Perhaps even more remarkable is that February 2015 crushed the previous February record–set in 1998 during the peak atmospheric influence of the 1997-98…
