The Eastern Kurdistan Protection Units Command (Yekîneyên Rojhilata Kurdistan, YRK) today revealed the identities of seven of its fighters killed in Turkish airstrikes on August 7 near the village of Qamish, 50 kilometers north of the city of Sulaimaniyya, Kurdistan of Iraq.
The fighters include six women and a man, Hours after the attack, Turkey’s Defense Ministry claimed it had “neutralized” seven PKK fighters. Turkey launched its current air offensive in the Kurdistan region on June 15, with the stated goal of removing PKK fighters from the border areas.
13.08.2020: To the Mapuche nation, to the Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples of the world. To all of those who struggle for their spiritual beliefs, their territory, their freedom, their rights in dignifying their people. Always in search of the complete balance of the natural order of our Mother Earth, Ñuke Mapu, who has supernaturally privileged all of us as human beings—human beings who sadly still do not have the consciousness to value our Mother Earth as she deserves.
I deeply regret that I have to give you my last message, during my final remaining days. My sacrifice is definite. It will be an honor to give my life for the Mapuche people, for our spiritual belief which is sacred above all else. Thus, it should never be renounced.
And more than anything else, because my condition as Machi is my duty. It is mandated supernaturally, in the spiritual world.
So that my death may be quicker, I have placed myself at the disposition to retake the thirst strike at whatever moment. Thus, my end will not be slow as expected by state powers and the business sectors.
Until my final day, I will remind the Chilean state that I do not agree with the massacre of our ancestors. I do not agree with the spiritual, cultural and socioeconomic impoverishment cruelly enforced upon our Mapuche people-nation since the arrival of the invasion. In the present times, since January of 2013, the Chilean State has dispossessed me from my rewe [sacred altar], my family, my community and my territory, and all my patients to whom I gave life and health, being a Mapuche spiritual authority.
Yet the time for justice is coming for all Indigenous people in the world and for all the oppressed peoples. It is supernaturally predestined. We are already living the renewal of the world.
Finally, I would like to say that I am deeply grateful to life for having given me a family, the opportunity to be a small contribution to the struggle of our people and to be at the service of humanity. I am also thankful for having opened the hearts of many people from different territories of the world.
Lastly, I only hope that everyone continues demanding that the Chilean state return our ancestral Mapuche territory and make good on all of the historical debt with Indigenous peoples. Furthermore, I demand that no autopsy be carried out after my death.
Condena por el incendio a la cárcel de las Vallette ocurrido en febrero de 2019.
Incendio agravado e igniciones y explosiones peligrosas: Estos son los delitos imputados a Marco Bolognino, compañero anarcoinsurreccionalista quien fuese arrestado en Turín por la Digos.
Los hechos imputados se remontan al pasado 11 de febrero, cuando anónimos organizaron una manifestación contra el desalojo del Asilo Ocupado de la calle Alessandria y el arresto de seis anarquistas. La manifestación terminó detrás de la prisión de las Vallette. En esa ocasión explotaron petardos y fuegos artificiales. Un cohete de señalación náutica terminó en el techo de un cobertizo de la prisión, donde había un laboratorio de cocina, provocando un incendio y la explosión de algunos bombonas de gas. El laboratorio quedo completamente destruido.
With hunger, disease and mass destitution has sprung a thronging popular movement to seize and settle abandoned lands on the periphery of the cities, mainly Buenos Aires. Fleeing the rackrents of the bloodsucking oligarchy who brand the okupas as ‘evil subhuman criminals’ in their bourgeois media, whole families and thousands of children are organizing and camping in their new allotments. And this despite fierce attacks by police, rightwing gangs and maybe federal troops. Surviving by mutual aid and solidarity, without water, sewers, or electricity in the winter mud.
In Latin America land ownership was always the sacred right of the rich oppressor, by brute force since the first invasion. It is still a large base of capitalist tyranny which sentences the majority to a life of hardship. Argentina is a bankrupt land of untold riches, eternally paying off blood money and interest on toxic debts to the US run banks, funds and billionaires.
Argentina is underpopulated, much of it is empty degraded ranch land owned by mega landlords. This latest ‘Land and Liberty’ movement could sweep Latin America, again, if not repressed by death squads of the fascist Right and their State.. As before, especially in Brazil, the only way left to survive may be to put our bodies on the ground and little by little create our own new barrios.
Land seizure in Guernica: historical mobilization, mob attack and one gunshot wound
Yesterday, an unprecedented mobilization was held in Guernica to prevent eviction and under the slogan of “Land to Live.” More than 3,000 people marched through the streets of the city to the Municipality where they were received by the commissioner and the government secretary.
As the people marched, a gang broke into the occupied property, burning down the precarious shacks and firing shots. Local officials pledged to stop the terrorism of the landlord s gangs and consider providing supplies to the popular pots (collective funds) and a glass of milk to feed the children.
But despite the promises, in the afternoon news arrived of the attack of a new gang and that one of the occupiers elected delegates had been shot in the head. The coordinator of the 4 neighborhoods denounced the “liberated zone”.
Philip Ruff @RuffPhilip · Devastated to report the passing of my old friend & comrade Stuart Christie (pictured here with Albert Meltzer in 1976), who died peacefully today after a brave battle with lung cancer. RIP amigo!
Working Class History @wrkclasshistory · Aug 11 #OtD 11 Aug 1964 18-year-old Scottish anarchist Stuart Christie was arrested in Madrid, Spain with explosives to assassinate dictator General Franco. He was wearing a kilt, which confused the Spanish press, who described him as “a Scottish transvestite”. https://libcom.org/library/franco Tom Coburg @Undercoverinfo1 · Very sad to hear of the death of Stuart Christie.
@rechelon · RIP Stuart Christie, one of the most important figures in anarchism between ’39 and ’89. Tried to assassinate Franco as a teen and later rebuilt Black Cross because Amnesty International refused to support anarchist prisoners. @Franklin__Lopez · One of #StuartChristie‘s greatest gifts is his massive catalogue of anarchist films, free for anyone to watch. Oh yeah and he also tried to kill Franco. Fuckin gangsta! https://christiebooks.co.uk/anarchist-film-archive
@reclus @reclus23 BBC Witness History In August 1964 #StuartChristie, an 18-year-old Scottish anarchist, smuggled explosives into Spain in a plot to kill General Franco.
A brilliant summary of genocidal and ecocidal US decadence with a stab at psychological and philosophical explanations .. but Chris has no recipehere to save the planet beyond ”the chants by the crowds in Lebanon calling for the wholesale removal of its ruling class”.
America’s Death March
Regardless of the outcome, the US election will not stop the rise of hypernationalism, crisis cults and other signs of an empire’s terminal decline.
The terminal decline of the United States will not be solved by elections. The political rot and depravity will continue to eat away at the soul of the nation, spawning what anthropologists call crisis cults — movements led by demagogues that prey on an unbearable psychological and financial distress.
These crisis cults, already well established among followers of the Christian Right and Donald Trump, peddle magical thinking and an infantilism that promises — in exchange for all autonomy — prosperity, a return to a mythical past, order and security.
The dark yearnings among the white working class for vengeance and moral renewal through violence, the unchecked greed and corruption of the corporate oligarchs and billionaires who manage our failed democracy, which has already instituted wholesale government surveillance and revoked most civil liberties, are part of the twisted pathologies that infect all civilizations sputtering towards oblivion. I witnessed the deaths of other nations during the collapse of the communist regimes in Eastern Europe and later in the former Yugoslavia. I have smelled this stench before.
The removal of Trump from office will only exacerbate the lust for racist violence he incites and the intoxicating elixir of white nationalism. The ruling elites, who first built a mafia economy and then built a mafia state, will continue under Biden, as they did under Trump, Barack Obama, George W. Bush, Bill Clinton and Ronald Reagan, to wantonly pillage and loot. The militarized police will not stop their lethal rampages in poor neighborhoods. The endless wars will not end. The bloated military budget will not be reduced.
