Extract – Noam Chomsky’s new book – Power and Terror:

The Arab world is in revolutionary turmoil. How will America react and adapt? To understand the role of the US in the Middle East we need to understand some simple – but concealed – truths. In a new book published this month Noam Chomsky does just that.

Mohammed Ameen/Reuters..When the US is involved in, say, Iraq or Afghanistan, that’s called ‘stabilization’. If Iran tries to increase its influence, that’s destabilization..

Facerias: Urban Guerrilla Warfare

Facerias: Urban Guerrilla Warfare (1939-1957) by Antonio Téllez Solà (book sponsorship sought)

Anarchist urban guerrilla and member of the Iberian Federation of Libertarian Youth (FIJL) since 1936, José Lluis Facerías fought on the Aragón front during the Spanish Civil War, where he was taken prisoner and held until 1945. Following his release he rejoined the clandestine anarcho-syndicalist trade union, the CNT, and dedicated himself to the armed struggle against the Francoist dictatorship. From March 1946 until his death in a police ambush in 1957, Facerias was the driving force behind the anarchist defence groups operating in Barcelona. To get this book out are hoping for sponsorship of £2,300 ($3,750/2,630 Euro) towards the publication costs. So far (April 19 2011) we have $40.00 (£24.00/28.00 Euro) in the bank… not much, but it’s better than a poke in the eye with a blunt stick… http://www.christiebooks.com/ChristieBooksWP/?p=3611

Protest for anarchist prisoners on Hunger Strike –

Hundreds of people protested against the arrest of ten anarchists by the Chilean state on terrorism charges. Despite being a peaceful protest, police dealt with the demonstration with considerable force.

Protesters dressed as clowns hold a banner from an overhead road sign during a protest in Santiago over the detention of 10 anarchists on terrorism charges.

Un exagerado actuar policial se vió este Lunes en el centro de Santiago luego de que un grupo de jovenes protestara en Vicuña Mackena exigiendo la liberación de los 10 anarquistas presos acusados de terrorismo por el Estado Chileno.

Los manifestantes cortaron el transito de Vicuña Mackena unos minutos mientras 5 de sus compañeros treparon a la señalética, se encadenaron y colgaron un letrero en el que se leía “Fin al montaje caso bombas, libertad a los presos politicos, Fin a la ley antiterrorista.”

Un amplio contingente policial detuvo selectivamente a los manifestantes luego de que estos se dispersaran y ocultaran entre la multitud que observaba los acontecimientos. La violencia utilizada disgustó a los peatones que pasaban por el lugar que se unieron a los gritos de protesta.

Luego de las detenciones se esperó cerca de 1 hora que llegara el GOPE (Grupo de Operaciones Especiales) para poder bajar a los 5 jóvenes encadenados, quienes no pararon de gritar consignas en apoyo a sus compañeros presos y en contra de la polémica ley antiterrorista.

El montaje caso bombas comenzó luego de una serie de ataques que sufrieron distintos bancos de la capital. Luego de años de “investigación” fueron detenidos en Agosto del año pasado 14 anarquistas que fueron culpados por los ataques, 4 de ellos fueron liberados, pero 10 fueron encerrados en la carcel de alta seguridad acusados de terrorismo y con nulos derechos humanos. Luego de 6 meses de recolección de pruebas aún no era posible encontrar nada que demostrara la culpabilidad de los jóvenes y comenzaron una huelga de hambre que ya se extiende por 50 días.

‘Violent minority’: note to ‘uncutters’

We’re writing this to you to try and prevent the anti-cuts struggle being split up and weakened by the media. We are anarchists (well, anarcho-syndicalists, technically) – a word that is much misunderstood and misrepresented. We are also students, workers and shop stewards. We co-organised a ‘Radical Workers Bloc’ on the South London feeder march. The aim was to provide a highly visible radical presence within the workers movement of which we are a part, advocating strikes, occupations and civil disobedience.

Saturday’s demonstration was far bigger than anyone expected, and saw thousands go beyond a simple A-B stroll to take direct action. The UK Uncut actions on Oxford Street and in occupying Fortnum and Masons provoked harsh treatment from police, including mass arrests. continued—–

‘ecoterrorist’ Marie Mason

June 11, 2011: International Day of Solidarity for Marie Mason and Eric McDavid!

Eric McDavid was arrested in January 2006 after being entrapped by a paid government informant – “Anna” – and was charged with a single count of conspiracy. Eric – who never carried out any actions and was accused of what amounts to “thought crime” – refused to cooperate with the state and took his case to trial. After a trial fraught with errors, the jury convicted Eric. He was subsequently sentenced to almost 20 years in prison. More information on Eric’s case can be found at http://supportmariemason.org/2011/04/07/june11-2011

Marie Mason was arrested in March 2008 after her former partner – Frank Ambrose – turned informant for the FBI. Facing a life sentence if she went to trial, Marie accepted a plea bargain in September 2008, admitting her involvement in the burning of an office connected to GMO research and the destruction of a piece of logging equipment. At her sentencing in February the following year, she received a sentence of almost 22 years. More information on Marie’s case can be found at http://supporteric.org/updates.htm
