It creates poetry out the strange internal rhythms and logic of the main character, full of off-beat rhythms and lyrical leitmotifs...Rob Stewart

‘History of ‘The Free’

 The first version came out in 1986 in Brixton, by the class-less Hooligan Press from the gang who ran 121 Anarchist Bookshop, Brixton Squatters Aid, with its revolting paper The Crowbar, and Sth London Stress etc, linked to both Black Flag and Class War. It sold out and was reprinted in 1992 by Attack International, and in German by Killroy Press.

In 2007 I began to update it and realised it needed a rewrite. Inspired by the Barcelona anarcho-squatting scene, where I live, this new edition is 3 times as long and 10 times better, with lots more humour, sex and triumphing alternatives. It does have some following, a huge number of Fiends on Farcebook, plus the Wordmess blog for free downloads (https://thefreeonline.wordpress.com). Also available on Scribd, Authonomy, Google, Issuu and the Anarchist Library,etc.) but still needs piles of word of mouth publicity to be more widely read…

That’s where you could help..

Obama praises US mass murderers in Iraq

A totally unprovoked

and illegal war on a defenceless people, causing years of horrific massacres, up to one million dead, countless families destroyed, 4000 US army deaths, a bill of $801BN for the US taxpayer, a campaign of torture with nearly 100% impunity… etc etc etc…

President Obama has sunk to a new low in praising all this, becoming an accessory to brutal mass carnage. All this to secure oil contracts for America??  To stop Saddam Hussein selling oil in Euros?? To get military bases to attack Iran?? To use up stocks of weapons and boost the military economy??

Maybe all these things, but none are any excuse . Meanwhile the tame US media has gone almost silent, American withdrawal, it seems, is hardly worth talking about

The Elusive Declaration of Peace

Ken Butigan     Friday 9 December 2011    Nation of Change

“Except for the occasional newsflash about sporadic violence—and the recent spate of stories about the sheer tonnage of materiel that the US is shipping stateside as it readies its departure—we don’t hear much about Iraq these days.”

The re­main­ing US troops in Iraq are sched­uled to leave by the end of this month. While there had been some talk about ex­tend­ing the De­cem­ber 31, 2011 dead­line Pres­i­dent Obama set early in his term, this was scut­tled in Oc­to­ber when the Iraqi gov­ern­ment re­buffed the ad­min­is­tra­tion on two de­mands: that US troops be guar­an­teed im­mu­nity from pros­e­cu­tion and that the Pen­ta­gon be al­lowed to main­tain bases in the coun­try going for­ward.

While the US will re­tain a large em­bassy and two con­sulates in the coun­try, with 4,000 to 5,000 con­trac­tors (down from a high of 180,000), this is a dif­fer­ent out­come from the US gov­ern­ment’s orig­i­nal ex­pec­ta­tion of per­ma­nently main­tain­ing scores of mil­i­tary bases, in­clud­ing su­per­bases, in the coun­try de­signed to in­def­i­nitely an­chor the US geo-po­lit­i­cal pres­ence in the Mid­dle East. While we may learn later that this long-term strat­egy, against all po­lit­i­cal ob­sta­cles, re­mains on track (in­clud­ing a plan for all that oil), the nearly nine-year-old oc­cu­pa­tion of Iraq is ap­par­ently com­ing to an end.

US soldiers examine another victim

 The ac­tion has moved on to Afghanistan, Pak­istan and Yemen. But five years ago, things were very dif­fer­ent. The mil­i­tary, po­lit­i­cal, and eco­nomic shock­waves from the US in­va­sion in 2003 were roil­ing the coun­try, the sec­tar­ian vi­o­lence was mount­ing, and Iraq was awash in blood and in­con­solable sor­row. The human wreck­age—as well as the huge eco­nomic toll—de­fied com­pre­hen­sion (and the blood­less num­ber-crunch­ing that sur­faced now and then).

Save the Amazon, veto the new Forest Code

GREENPEACE INTERNATIONAL

    Dear friends,
The Amazon rainforest is facing its biggest threat ever. Damaging changes to Brazil’s Forest Code – the main laws protecting the rainforest – were just approved by Brazil’s Senate. These changes open up the Amazon to rampant deforestation and we now stand to lose more of this amazing ecosystem to destruction. Soon the only thing standing between the Amazon and the chainsaws will be Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff, who can veto these changes. We all have a stake in protecting this irreplacable resource.

You can urge President Dilma to protect the Amazon and veto the new Forest Code. clic HERE http://www.greenpeace.org/international/en/campaigns/forests/amazon

We are edging closer to an “ecological calamity” in the Amazon rainforest and a vote in the Brazilian Senate has pushed us closer to the brink. It voted to approve destructive changes to the laws governing forest protection – called the Forest Code – that would open up the Amazon rainforest to rampant destruction. But it is not too late. Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff will have the opportunity to veto the changes – you can ask her to protect the Amazon and veto the new Forest Code.

Losing the Amazon rainforest to further deforestation would be an unimaginable loss for our planet and life on it, and the approval of this new Forest Code in Brazil would bring us one step closer to this terrible reality.

Not only is the Amazon home to one out of every ten species on the planet and important to the livelihoods of local communities, but it also functions as a carbon storage system, which can help us avoid some of the worst consequences of climate change. If deforestation and degradation of the Amazon continues increasing at the current pace the damage could actually transform the Amazon into part of the problem instead of part of the solution. The emissions from Amazon destruction contribute to a feedback cycle that will not only make climate change worse, by increasing warming trends, but cause further damage to the remaining forest, as forest fires in the region would intensify. The new Forest Code would bring us closer to this vicious cycle. Some scientists are already discussing the potential of losing the Amazon completely – imagine a world with no Amazon rainforest.

It won’t happen, because we will all keep demanding real protection for the rainforest until we get it. We know that a future free from destruction is possible, and we’ll condemn any attempts to destroy that future for the short-term profit of a few – the new Forest Code is one such attempt.

This past year the agricultural lobby pushed hard inside Brazil to weaken forest protection, many of the people pushing for these changes have been fined themselves for illegal deforestation. The result is the new Forest Code – it reduces the size of areas under protection, pardons people who deforested illegally and weakens enforcement of protection laws.

The text that has now been approved by the Senate is really bad; after the vote, Greenpeace Amazon campaign director Paulo Adario reemphasized that it opens up the rainforest to further deforestation. He also pointed out that scientists and the public prosecutors office have already said that the new Forest Code is not good for the environment and will be challenged.

There is still time to turn this situation around. You can send President Dilma an email right now and make it clear that she has a duty to protect the Amazon rainforest and veto the new Forest Code. All of us, including President Dilma, have a stake in the survival of this amazing ecosystem.

We’d like to keep you updated on this situation as it develops, so please keep in touch and make sure you are following us on Facebook and Twitter.

Sparks Massive Wildcat Strike

  Sparks Defy Anti-Union Laws With Massive Wildcat Strike

Hundreds of electricians took wildcat strike action on Wednesday, defying the bosses who want to slash their wages, the anti-union laws which the bosses use to pick holes in strike mandates, and the union bureacracy which had to be dragged kicking and screaming to holding a ballot at all. The country’s biggest ‘unofficial’ walkout in decades represents a new stage in the UK class war – a stage in which workers recognise the limitations of their own leaderships, and consciously move beyond them. By cutting out the utterly compromised middle men and women in this way, working people come face to face with their ultimate enemy – huge corporations and the capitalist state………..

………But despite yesterday’s burning of ‘sign or be sacked’ Balfour contracts, the company will soon want to make good on their threats. In this, they will have the assistance of Unite fat cats. If Wednesday 7th December is to be the high water mark of the rank and file resistance, Sparks will lose this historic battle. If they are to win, they must now organise completely independently of both Unite and the anti-union laws, and immediately make an appeal to the wider working class for support.

Dia Acción Global / World Action Sat. Dec 11

  Llamamiento a un día de Acción Global en el Día de los Derechos Humanos, el    ENGLISH CLICK HERE..:http://dec10.takethesquare.net/
El éxito del 15 de Octubre ha generado un impulso sin precedentes para  la acción global. La humanidad se ha unido a través de las fronteras en  la lucha por la democracia real y los derechos individuales. Es  esencial en esta lucha el respeto por la vida humana y las condiciones  de vida, incluido el medio ambiente.
La sociedad civil global está siendo amenazada por un sistema basado  en el poder y no en los valores humanos. Día tras día reprime libertades  básicas y favorece sistemáticamente la avaricia de unos pocos en  detrimento de las necesidades de la mayoría. El poder financia guerras,  monopolios alimentarios y farmacéuticos, apoya regímenes dictatoriales  en todo el mundo, destruye el medio ambiente, manipula y censura los  flujos de información e impide la transparencia.
Convocatoria de Ágorabcn
Desde la asamblea permanente de AgoraBcn, en Plaça Catalunya,   convocamos a toda la ciudadanía a una concentración por los Derechos  Humanos.
Con  todos estos ataques que sufre la ciudadanía lamentablemente, lo  único que hacen es pisotear cada vez más unos Derechos que son  irrenunciables. Cada vez más gente lo pasa muy mal a costa de la felicidad de una clase que de derechos tiene muchos pero de humanos poco.
Convocamos para que el día de los Derechos Humanos sea de reivindicación por lo que nos corresponde.

Repsol gana 5% con ‘Fracking’ Argentina

note. posts on NH3 the CO2-Free fuel now have their own blog HERE.. http://co2freefuelexistsnow.wordpress.com/
Repsol YPF amenaza con el ‘fracking’ una región argentina.
Con el truco de declarar ‘nuevos’ depósitos que podrían ser explotados con la nueva técnica de ‘fracking’ Repsol ha ganado 5% en valor, no sé cuantos milion. No les importa que ‘fracking’ envenena permanentement el acuífer.
Pero los depositos de hydrocarburos ya conocidas son más que suficientes para llevar el Cambio Climático al límite absoluto de +2·C , así que
las prospecciones de Repsol son crimenes masivos contra el futuro de la tierra, denegando una vida a nuestros hij*s y condenando miles o miliones de especies maravilosas a la extinción.
