Thousands of people gathered for a funeral ceremony of five young people who were martyred following a Turkish drone attack in Kobane.
ANF KOBANE Monday, 27 Dec 2021, 16:19
Thousands of people gathered in Kobane on Monday to bid final farewell to their martyrs.
Members of the Revolutionary Youth Movement and Young Women’s Union, Nûjiyan Ocalan, Viyan Kobanê, Rojîn Ehmed Îsa, Merhef Xelîl Îbrahîm and Welîd Mihemed Menle were martyred on December 25 following a Turkish drone attack that targeted a house in the Martyr Peyman neighbourhood.
The Afrin Region Revolutionary Youth Movement and Young Women’s Union have also reacted to the attack in a press statement.
Dozens of people attended the event in the Serdem Camp in the Ehdas district of Shehba canton.
The following statement was read out by Feride Hej Ebdo, a member of the Revolutionary Youth Movement:
“This attack was carried out with international cooperation. The people of Kobane have sacrificed thousands of their young people without hesitation to protect human dignity. However, the international community is silent towards the deadly attack in Kobane.
As is known, some were martyred and injured as a result of the attack. Young people are the future of society. They attack young people to break the power of society.
Throughout history, the young people’s response to invasion attacks has been resistance and revenge. We commemorate all the martyrs of Kobane in the person of Martyr Nûjiyan Öcalan, and we promise retaliation.”…

Anarquismos por venir es un ensayo político desde el anarquismo. Escrito por un militante libertario de Valladolid, hace un repaso de algunas controversias teóricas que en los últimos años se han dado en el anarquismo.
El texto hace un recorrido regado de referencias por 4 bloques: empezando por una defensa de un anarquismo socialista, siguiendo por un recorrido teórico por el concepto de poder, de sujeto de horizonte revolucionario o de comunidad y, pasando por una discusión sobre el territorio, la identidad y el nacionalismo; se termina con un balance de algunos de los principales sucesos políticos de los últimos años: las huelgas feministas, el 1-O o la pandemia.
Un balance crítico que insiste en la necesidad de dotar al anarquismo de una dimensión política para superar las limitaciones de los últimos años y avanzar en un proyecto que pueda plasmarse en organizaciones, estrategias y tácticas.
El texto defiende algunas posiciones claramente diferenciadas en muchos de los temas tratados, pero no se trata de un manifiesto. Es más bien una manera de plasmar algunas de las ideas sobre las que se construye la un anarquismo de inserción social que acompaña al «retorno del pragmatismo anarquista» y que, a falta de un corpus teórico cerrado, sirve para avanzar en estos debates.
Las ideologías revolucionarias en Europa están de capa caída. Los antaño grandes partidos comunistas y socialistas se han transformado a la socialdemocracia, cuando no directamente al socioliberalismo.
Los sindicatos de masas, que fundamentaban su fuerza en la organización y la acción directa, se han integrado e institucionalizado en el propio Estado que decían combatir.
The mass rollout of COVID-19 vaccines should be halted immediately. These experimental vaccines pose serious dangers. That is the message contained in a statement from concerned citizens soon to be forwarded to India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
The statement’s signatories include medical scientists, doctors, epidemiologists, civil servants, civil society organisations and “deeply concerned mothers, fathers, husbands and wives”.
Concerned citizens of India can sign on to the ‘The Truth of COVID-19 — The India Statement’ prior to its dispatch to the PM in the link provided at the end of this article.
Internationally renowned professionals in the field of medical science have also joined this effort by offering their expertise, including Dr Mike Yeadon, Dr Peter McCullough, Dr Pierre Kory, Dr Roger Hodkinson, Professor Sucharit Bhakdi and Dr Tess Lawrie.
The statement comprises two parts.
Part one is a five-page summary of the main points and recommendations.
This is supported by part two, a 62-page document which quotes the relevant literature and has dozens of references to back up the assertions made about the vaccines, COVID-19 and the vaccination programme.
Some of the key points and recommendations contained in part one are summarised below.
The statement begins by saying that a coronavirus vaccine has never before been used successfully. One problem has been the development of antibody disease enhancement (ADE).
The vaccine produces antibodies, but sometimes this does not prevent disease – it instead makes the disease more serious and ADE can extend into the future (this has been seen before, for example regarding the rollout of a Dengue vaccine in Manila).

How Big Capital uses the Pandemic to bailout and delay capitalist collapse without hyperinflation. And in the process to grab mega profits and permanent citizen control by the elite.
Some companies never seem to die. The corporate version of the living dead is a business that’s kept alive by financing
.. Some may have started wondering why the usually unscrupulous ruling elites decided to freeze the global profit-making machine in the face of a pathogen that targets almost exclusively the unproductive (over 80’s). Why all the humanitarian zeal? Cui bono?
Why all the humanitarian zeal? Only those who are unfamiliar with the wondrous adventures of GloboCap can delude themselves into thinking that the system chose to shut down out of compassion. Let us be clear from the start: the big predators of oil, arms, and vaccines could not care less about humanity.
insert: A better alternative to the capitalist dead-end debt trap was proposed by anarchist David Graeber in his classic ” Debt: The first 5000 Years ” (read/download pdf free here ). A universal forced Debt Pardon would be a real Reset with the prospect of people’s power creating a whole new anti capitalist system. Various past civilisations have renewed themselves cancelling debt, and this should be a major proposal of left and climate activists who currently lack any blueprint of how to get to Anti-Capitalism.
Follow the money
In pre-Covid times, the world economy was on the verge of another colossal meltdown. Here is a brief chronicle of how the pressure was building up:
June 2019: In its Annual Economic Report, the Swiss-based Bank of International Settlements (BIS), the ‘Central Bank of all central banks’, sets the international alarm bells ringing. The document highlights “overheating […] in the leveraged loan market”, where “credit standards have been deteriorating” and “collateralized loan obligations (CLOs) have surged – reminiscent of the steep rise in collateralized debt obligations [CDOs] that amplified the subprime crisis [in 2008].” Simply stated, the belly of the financial industry is once again full of junk.
9 August 2019: The BIS issues a working paper calling for “unconventional monetary policy measures” to “insulate the real economy from further deterioration in financial conditions”. The paper indicates that, by offering “direct credit to the economy” during a crisis, central bank lending “can replace commercial banks in providing loans to firms.”
15 August 2019: Blackrock Inc., the world’s most powerful investment fund (managing around $7 trillion in stock and bond funds), issues a white paper titled Dealing with the next downturn. Essentially, the paper instructs the US Federal Reserve to inject liquidity directly into the financial system to prevent “a dramatic downturn.”
Again, the message is unequivocal: “An unprecedented response is needed when monetary policy is exhausted and fiscal policy alone is not enough. That response will likely involve ‘going direct’”: “finding ways to get central bank money directly in the hands of public and private sector spenders” while avoiding “hyperinflation. Examples include the Weimar Republic in the 1920s as well as Argentina and Zimbabwe more recently.”
22-24 August 2019: G7 central bankers meet in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, to discuss BlackRock’s paper along with urgent measures to prevent the looming meltdown. In the prescient words of James Bullard, President of the St Louis Federal Reserve: “We just have to stop thinking that next year things are going to be normal.”
15-16 September 2019: The downturn is officially inaugurated by a sudden spike in the repo rates (from 2% to 10.5%). ‘Repo’ is shorthand for ‘repurchase agreement’, a contract where investment funds lend money against collateral assets (normally Treasury securities). At the time of the exchange, financial operators (banks) undertake to buy back the assets at a higher price, typically overnight. In brief, repos are short-term collateralized loans. They are the main source of funding for traders in most markets, especially the derivatives galaxy. A lack of liquidity in the repo market can have a devastating domino effect on all major financial sectors.
17 September 2019: The Fed begins the emergency monetary programme, pumping hundreds of billions of dollars per week into Wall Street, effectively executing BlackRock’s “going direct” plan. (Unsurprisingly, in March 2020 the Fed will hire BlackRock to manage the bailout package in response to the ‘COVID-19 crisis’).
19 September 2019: Donald Trump signs Executive Order 13887, establishing a National Influenza Vaccine Task Force whose aim is to develop a “5-year national plan (Plan) to promote the use of more agile and scalable vaccine manufacturing technologies and to accelerate development of vaccines that protect against many or all influenza viruses.”
This is to counteract “an influenza pandemic”, which, “unlike seasonal influenza […] has the potential to spread rapidly around the globe, infect higher numbers of people, and cause high rates of illness and death in populations that lack prior immunity”. As someone guessed, the pandemic was imminent, while in Europe too preparations were underway (see here and here).
18 October 2019: In New York, a global zoonotic pandemic is simulated during Event 201, a strategic exercise coordinated by the Johns Hopkins Biosecurity Center and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
21-24 January 2020: The World Economic Forum’s annual meeting takes place in Davos, Switzerland, where both the economy and vaccinations are discussed.
23 January 2020: China puts Wuhan and other cities of the Hubei province in lockdown.
11 March 2020: The WHO’s director general calls Covid-19 a pandemic. The rest is history.
