Barcelona castle an Occupied Social Center

Long abandoned in 2000 the castle  returned to build life as a squatted social center, soon evicted  and left alone again into oblivion. Today we have liberated it..we  have taken back the castle, and now open to create a meeting space, creation, culture, policy debate and dissent against speculation, and capitalism. We open call to come to build with us your passionate projects…

Desde hace un siglo el castillo encima de la montañas de les planes ha permanecido en desuso, abandonado y detoriorandose, pasando de propietario en propietario sin ninguna intencion visible ya que se inicio como sanatorio nunca llego a ser completado. Durante la guerra civil fue utilizado por la resistencia antifascista como hospital, donde tambien estubo internado George Orwell.

For a century the castle above the mountains of Les Planes has been in disuse, abandoned and detoriorating, from one owner to another without any visible intention as it was started as a sanatorium never to become complete. During the Civil Warit  was used by the anti-fascist resistance as a hospital, where George Orwell was also interned.

Luego en el 2000 volvió tender vida como centro social okupado y desalojado para solo volver ser dejado en el olvido. Hoy dia lo hemos vuelto a liberar! hemos tomado el castillo, y ahora lo abrimos para crear un espacio de encuentro, de creacion, de cultura, de debate y politica de disidencia contra la especulacion, y el capitalismo. Hacemos un llamamiento abierto para venir a construir junto a nosotros; tus projectos, ven a pasiar, a conocer.

Sack the Banks..’Cash transfer Day’ on Nov 5th

November 5 has been designated Bank Transfer Day or Move Your Money day, the day to send the message to the too-big-to-fail Wall Street banks that they have failed us.

But it looks like the tsunami has already begun. The Credit Union National Association (CUNA) says that some 650,000 people have opened credit unions in the past month – more than in all of 2010.

Bank transfer day november 5Customers were livid after Bank of America announced they would introduce a $5 monthly fee for using their debit cards, as a way of keeping their profits high after a new federal law had tried to limit them. But it looks like they’re feeling the heat – earlier this week they scrapped the fee. Other banks have also backed down from planned fees.

“These results indicate that consumers are clearly making a smarter choice by moving to credit unions where, on average, they will save about $70 a year in fewer or no fees, lower rates on loans and higher return on savings.” said Bill Cheney, president and CEO of CU

Lethal radioactivity spreads as Fukushima hots up.

Japan Times: It is now a “grave situation” at Fukushima — “Plutonium fission” mentioned for first time — “Criticality is very likely to have occurred”

The meltdowns are still out of control. Every day more radioactive ‘Hotspots’ are found, many 100’s of kms away, but latest reports shoe the stations may have GONE CRITICAL AGAIN.

 Nov. 3, 8:30 pm ET      Tepco announced Wednesday that, according to the Times, “There is the possibility that criticality, a sustained nuclear chain reaction, had occurred ‘temporarily’ and ‘locally’ in the No. 2 reactor.”

During it’s testing, Tepco has detected xenon-133 and -135, “Products of uranium or plutonium fission.”

The half life of xenon-135 is about 9 hours, therefore, “Criticality is very likely to have occurred just before the gases were analyzed,” reports the Times.

“Clearly the reactor has not yet been stabilized,” and, according to the Times, “The fact that Tepco cannot deny the possibility of criticality irrespective of its scale is a grave situation.”

And the article notes, “Conditions are similar in the Nos. 1, 2 and 3 reactors.”

Now is the time to get “serious” writes The Times:

  • “Tepco should make serious efforts to accurately grasp the conditions of nuclear fuel inside the reactors.”
  • “Tepco and the Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency should take a serious view of the fact that radioactive xenon pointing to criticality was detected from the No. 2 reactor. What happened in it can happen in the Nos. 1 and 3 reactors.”

Urgente/ Compañero Mono sufre golpiza dentro de la prision!

Urgente/ Compañero Mono sufre golpiza dentro de la prision!

El día de ayer, viernes 28 de octubre, nuestro compañero Mono, recibió una golpiza por parte de tres funcionarios de Gendarmería.
La situación ocurrió alrededor de las 16:45 de la tarde, Mono se encontraba dormitando en su celda cuando ingresan los bastardos a realizarle un allanamiento. En eso uno de ellos le pregunta si tiene algo de valor, a lo que Cristóbal responde que sí, su dinero. En esto, se acerca uno de los gendarmes y lo increpa, diciéndole que si acaso cree que le van a robar. En ese momento se armó una pequeña discusión y el mono ya estaba siendo golpeado y lanzado por las escaleras.
Sufrió golpes en su cabeza, tórax y extremidades. Permaneció durante un rato inconsciente y se encuentra con vómitos. Los paramédicos de la unidad no le han tomado la atención necesaria y solo le han administrado antiinflamatorios. Luego, lo trasladaron a una jaula de castigo en donde sufrió episodios de taquicardia y problemas respiratorios. Se encuentra completamente incomunicado y sin comida. Pretenden quitarle su próxima visita. Permanecerá castigado ahí con la asquerosa excusa de que le faltó el respeto a la Autoridad.

No podemos permitir esta situación. No permanezcamos indiferentes
A agitar y solidarizar, no puede repetirse esto.
Ningún compañerx esta solx!    Fuerza Mono!!!
