Bait and switch- ‘Antifa’ ban another step to criminalize anti-genocide action-

Of course Antifa is not an organisation as such but an idea, or an inspiring morality based on direct action.

Because fascists don’t listen to reason. In fact historically they seek to abolish our access to reason by seizing dictatorial power under the guise of irrational rightwing public hysteria..

Trump’s style of populist bullying of minorities and non citizens constantly needs hate victims to rally support, just as Hitler got power abusing gays, foreigners and Jews. (-Only now the Jewish Regime is on the side of Trump).

By now the US police are highly militarized, linked into the arms economy and directed by a paranoic Deep State obsessed with controlling the population, as well as stealing dwindling resources and maintaining its privileges worldwide.

Antifascism for us is a moral human duty. They cannot really ban Antifa because it isnt a Party or Union. But they can jail, repress, deport or just kill us, along with trans kids, and rebellious blacks and women and…you.

They can select or invent a single crime by one of us, cover it 24/7, and watch their shares in the bought media grow.

They have cemented their grip on power by lighting up firestorms of hysterical hatred by labelling single actions by an ‘antifa’ a trans’ or any ‘woke’ as a hate crime. Even if its one in a million¡.

“It’s still worth noting: a man they touted as a champion of free speech was assassinated and their response is the suppression of free speech at levels we haven’t seen since the various red scares of the 20th century… ” Margaret Killjoy Sep 17 2025

But what the US zionist rulers also really want is to outlaw and demonise resistance to Israeli Genocide in Palestine.

Militarised victimisation and illegalisation of antifascists, immigrants, etc is an obvious step towards outlawing all criticism of Israel

Despite new laws supporting Israel and a blind eye to Israeli bribery and political blackmail. Despite countless billions of public money given in gifted armaments, the resistance to the mass slaughter of innocents and children still increases.

“Some have gone as far as to warn of the connection with Trump’s recent deployment of National Guard troops to US cities, under the aegis of fighting crime and abetting ICE in their harvest of illegals. They have tied the initiatives into a broader ‘Project Esther’-style commitment to “fight antisemitism” by shielding Israel from any possible criticisms in order to whitewash Israel’s now-indisputable crimes.

For those that don’t know, Project Esther—named after a figure in the Hebrew bible—comes by way of the Heritage Foundation and aims to “dismantle the Hamas network” in the US by labeling anyone criticizing Israel or supporting Palestine as potential ‘terrorists’ and being tied to Hamas.

Tens of Thousands face death as evil Israeli Genocide blitzes Gaza City

“We declare the strongest support for the Palestinian people in the face of their genocide and the occupation of their territory….”
⬛️🟥 https://madrid.cntait.org/no-al-genocidio-pueblo-palestino/

The Israeli occupation has intensified its bombardment of Gaza City, attacking the Islamic University three times in succession, with the final attack using highly explosive bombs that left dozens of martyrs buried beneath the rubble.

“Israel’s” indiscriminate strikes extended to the Mhanna and Al-Taj Towers, entire residential blocks under so-called “evacuation orders”, and even five UNRWA schools.

In a further escalation, Israeli aircraft destroyed the historic Greek Orthodox School and its church, further highlighting the ethnic cleansing and genocidal nature of the Israeli occupation regime’s war on Gaza.

⬛️🟥

Last words…” If I die I Will ask God to stop the war..”

Opposing an ongoing genocide requires no explanation or justification.

They are the ones who are wrong. Make THEM defend their position.

Put THEM on the back foot. Interrogate THEIR agendas.

Cast suspicion on THEIR motives. Call THEM crazy and evil.

Accuse THEM of racism and religious bigotry.

Shout THEM down. Shut up.

They’re the ones doing something freakish and nefarious, not you.

One Life, One Thought: “Durruti, from Revolt to Revolution”

– Abel Paz
From Child to Activist

vía thefreeonline.- https://t.me/thefreeonline/4198

Buenaventura Durruti Domínguez, son of Santiago, a railroad worker, and Anastasia, was born on July 14, 1896, in León.

At the age of five, he attended primary school, and at nine, he attended secondary school on Misericordia Street, run by Professor Ricardo Fanjul.

The professor’s assessment of Durruti upon completing his studies was: “A gifted student, absent-minded, but with noble sentiments.”

At the age of fourteen, he was apprenticed in a mechanical workshop, which he left at eighteen, having received a good education, which he demonstrated in his first job in Matallana de Torio, building mine wash houses.

He later joined the Northern Railway as an assembly mechanic.

This was in 1914, when the First World War broke out.
Manuel Buenacasa

Although León was a center of clerical and aristocratic domination, there was already a working-class core of the Spanish Socialist Party and the General Union of Workers.

Durruti belonged to the latter from the day he became a wage earner.

His rebellious nature, always willing to confront injustice, earned him a reputation among his colleagues and made him popular in the mining centers.

He participated in union meetings and spoke out in the workplace, where his militant and combative mentality was formed.

During this time, the revolutionary strike of August 1917 took place, which ended in León with the dismissal of workers and the repression of the leaders.

The León branch of the new trade union, the National Confederation of Labor the CNT, also participated in this strike.

Durruti was attracted by the fighting spirit of these men and joined this union, to which he would remain for the rest of his life.

Fired from the railway workshops and boycotted by the León employers, he had to go into exile and settle in Gijón, a center of revolutionary attraction in northern Spain and a hub of anarcho-syndicalist influence in the Asturian region.

There, he befriended Manuel Buenacasa, who introduced him to anarchist theories.

After spending two months in Gijón, he was forced to go into exile in France, unable to find work and having failed to register for military service, despite being 21 years old.
Exile and Revolutionary Action

In Paris, three men influenced him: Sébastien Faure, Louis Lecoin, and Émile Cottin. These men would forever remain linked to his life.

In Spain, his friends sent him news. The revolutionary spirit sweeping Europe prompted him to return to Spain in early 1920.

In San Sebastián, he met Manuel Buenacasa, general secretary of the city’s CNT construction union. A few days after his arrival, he began working as a mechanic, which allowed him to make friends with other militant workers in Barcelona, Madrid, and Zaragoza.

The foundations of an anarchist group had been laid in San Sebastián, and it was the group called “Los Justicieros” that Durruti first joined.

But the people of San Sebastián were people to whom “nothing ever happened,” and Durruti decided to move.

Buenacasa gave him a letter of recommendation for Ángel Pestaña, then general secretary of the CNT National Committee, who was in Barcelona.

Francisco Ascaso

He stopped off in Zaragoza, where the atmosphere was charged with workers’ struggles.

Cardinal Soldevila and the governor of Zaragoza had brought a group of professional assassins from Barcelona to murder Confederate militants and destroy the CNT in Zaragoza.

The reaction was violent, and a group of CNT militants, including Francisco Ascaso, were imprisoned in the Predicadores prison awaiting harsh sentences.

The workers of Zaragoza declared a general strike to demand the release of the prisoners.

Barcelona / Madrid: the “Los Solidarios” group

The event coincided with the arrival of Durruti and his friends in Zaragoza. The prisoners were released, while the struggle took on new proportions.

In this climate, Durruti, a close friend of Ascaso and Torres Escartin, decided to move to Barcelona in January 1922.

Barcelona, like Zaragoza at that time, was at the extreme end of the struggle.

Gangsters attacked labor leaders and murdered them in the streets. Faced with this attack supported by employers and the police, the unionists could only respond using the same methods.

FRANCE: 360,000 PROTESTERS and 473 ARRESTS ON SEPTEMBER 10

https://secoursrouge.org/france-360-000-manifestants-et-473-personnes-interpellees-ce-10-septembre/   via thefreeonline https://t.me/thefreeonline/4153

On Wednesday, September 10, the “Bloquons Tout” movement called for 360,000 people to participate in protests, at least 150 schools were blocked, and thousands of blockades and acts of sabotage occurred across the country, according to estimates from several participating organizations.

With more than 80,000 police officers and gendarmes mobilized during the day (see our article) and widespread use of drones, the repression was extremely brutal, with at least 473 detained and 339 people in custody, according to the Ministry of the Interior.

To demand their immediate release, numerous support demonstrations were organized in front of police stations during the night.

In Toulouse, hundreds of people gathered, but the police launched tear gas against those present and made at least one more arrest.

The natives are getting restless
on September 11, 2025 by winter oak

by Paul Cudenec (who reads the article here)

It’s always an inconvenience for an occupying colonial force when “the natives are getting restless”.

They tut-tut with irritation as the less-than-human riff-raff come together to demand an end to their exploitation and debasement under the imperial jackboot.

The colonisers order their Imperial Propaganda Machine to smear and condemn the trouble-makers and to frighten the population away from joining them with threats of institutional violence.

And when, despite all that, the repressed people still venture out on to the streets to reclaim their freedom and their future, how do the colonisers respond?

Do they listen to these heart-felt grievances, promise to modify their policies, if only to see off the threat of a popular uprising?

No, of course not, because the whole purpose of their occupation is an never-ending dispossession of the colonised people and the expropriation of their natural resources.
