Solidarity Means Attack – Call For Support From Montréal!

“You can cut down all of the flowers but you cannot stop the spring.”
– poster circulating around the strikeTHE LAWS
On Friday, May 18, 2012, two new laws came into effect in montréal. Their purpose is to stifle the anti-capitalist revolt that has emerged from the student strike that began in this province fifteen weeks ago, to restore order and clear the way for the implementation of austerity measures in this territory.The first is a municipal by-law. It aims to discourage people from wearing masks at demonstrations by threatening them with fines from $1000 to $5000. It comes as the federal government is contemplating a law, to be implemented across the whole territory of the canadian state, that would punish those who conceal their identities “while participating in a riot” with a maximum of ten years in prison.

Tear Gas and Guns Fired at Ngabe Indigenous People for Protesting the Barro Blanco Hydroelectric Project

by locaonga

On Friday, May 18th a group of Ngabes and solidarists hiked to the construction site of the Barro Blanco dam on the Tabasara River.  They were met with tear gas, bombs and live fire.  The indigenous group was unarmed and outnumbered, 300 to 50.  One man was wounded from a nearby explosion.

“Yesterday was war. [Martinelli] is massacring our people.  He killed one, he killed another and yesterday he nearly killed again.  If we killed one of theirs we would be in trouble, but they kill one of ours and deny it,” Rogelio Rodriquez, a prominent Ngabe community member said.

Hi there.. I see on Farcebook we are now more than 2000 Friends of ‘The Free’ the new novel set in an Occupy style social revolution, during the COLLAPSE of capitalism due to Climate Chaos.

La Reserva Nahua-Nanti, situada al sureste de Perú, es conocida por sus pueblos indígenas amazónicos no contactados, pero aún más si cabe por la polémica ampliación de los campos de gas que forman parte del proyecto Camisea.

Tan solo el mes pasado, y a pesar de que el 75% de un lote de gas se adentra en la reserva, el ministerio de Minas y Energía de Perú dio luz verde al consorcio de Camisea para incrementar las exploraciones gasísticas.

Ahora Perú ha ido aún más lejos al dar a conocer los planes para un primer lote petrolífero estatal que se ubicará dentro del área legalmente protegida.
