Death toll rises among Kurds trapped in Cizre basement amid heavy fighting
More than 20 people with injuries remain stuck in a basement in Cizre, as the government denies emergency amublance access. Turkey’s Constitutional Court even rejected a petition to evacuate the building.
At least 20 injured people have been trapped in the basement of a building in Cizre for almost a week, with six people dying of their injuries. Faysal Sariyildiz, a member of parliament from the pro-Kurdish Peoples’ Democratic Party (HDP), told the dpa news agency that the death toll was rising almost daily, saying that ambulances intended to help those trapped had been denied access on 11 occasions.
“The wounded are confined in a tight space along with those who have died,” Sariyildiz said, pointing out that he had been in contact with the basement’s occupants via text messages. Leyla Birlik, HDP legislator for Sirnak province, which the embattled town of Cizre is part of, confirmed that the bodies of the dead had not been removed.

Fracking was 99% sure to be the culprit, Canada will once again set a world record for the largest earthquake triggered by the controversial drilling process which was reported Tuesday at 11:27 a.m. approximately 30 kilometres west of Fox Creek, Alberta.

Police have found a new way to legally incorporate surveillance and profiling into everyday life. Just when you thought we were making progress raising awareness surrounding police brutality, we have something new to contend with. The Police Threat Score isn’t calculated by a racist police officer or a barrel-rolling cop who thinks he’s on a TV drama; it’s a computer algorithm that steals your data and calculates your likelihood of risk and threat for the fuzz.

I really wanted to avoid this one when I first became aware of the tale on Social Media. I got the jist of it, an artist got £15 grand worth of funding for remaining in Glasgow for a year. I just didn’t care. Even if I was to find out that all she intended to do with the money was use it as a procurement and delivery method for cocaine, I would barely bat an eyelid. After the banking bailout and some recent political wage increases, I have a high threshold when it comes to getting angry about public money being wasted on the wrong people.

In fact I have a high anger threshold about everything nowadays. I have become slowly desensitised over the years with the drip, drip, drip of countless terrors that used to get me apoplectic. Malnourished black babies with bluebottles crawling over their bulbous bellies, limbless Muslim children being carried away from the remains of a freshly bombed kindergarten, burning corpses falling from the creaking remnants of the Twin Towers, the melted, contorted faces of Pakistani housewives who have embarrassed their tribe so badly that a battery acid facial was the only honourable solution.

by Tyler Durden….. If ever there was a clearer indication of America’s “need for war” it was the latest Durable Goods orders data, which confirmed, absent defense spending, the US economy is in a tail-spin. However, as NYTimes reports, foreign arms sales by the United States jumped by almost $10 billion in 2014, about 35 percent, even as the global weapons market remained flat and competition among suppliers increased, thanks to multibillion-dollar agreements with Qatar, Saudi Arabia and South Korea.
Defense Spending New Orders has soared 148% in the last 3 months… the biggest rise since 2007
But it is the US arms sales to foreigners that is really flourishing.Despite a stagnant international weapons market and increased competition among suppliers, American foreign weapons receipts rose from $26.7 billion to $36.2 billion last year. According to a new congressional report, as The NY Times reports…
The United States remained the single largest provider of arms around the world last year, controlling just over 50 percent of the market.
Russia followed the United States as the top weapons supplier, completing $10.2 billion in sales, compared with $10.3 billion in 2013. Sweden was third, with roughly $5.5 billion in sales, followed by France with $4.4 billion and China with $2.2 billion.Continue reading “US arms criminals save Capitalism: Arms Sales Soar 35%”
2,000 public figures are currently named as suspects in corruption investigations, including the treasurer of the ruling PP, (who directly implicated the whole party and prime minister Rajoy), the king’s sister, Princess Cristina (tax fraud), and former economy minister and IMF managing director Rodrigo Rato (tax fraud, money-laundering and receiving bribes).
Nobody is resigning and hardly any are jailed, even for one night. In fact the ruling PP mafia are leading the polls, with a mix of bribes, threats and luck. Nobody dares says one word against the corrupt monarchy, rushing through a law to give the ex King perpetual immunity.
Nobody cares that we have 21% unemployment and 3.5 million unemployed receiving zero help or benefits, The tame subsidised media rants instead that unemployment has decreased slightlty, due entirely to ‘Kleenek contracts’ ofen of just a few hours duration).
Nobody mentions the astronomical debts incurred by gifting billions in public money to save the predatory corrupt banks, that will take centuries to pay off.
Aznar and Rajoy collage.
Nobody can complain, because in just 2 days a clause was written into the Costitution.. that debt repayment must ALWAYS come first, before schools, pensions hospitals, etc)..making Spain forever a nothing but a Cash-Cow for international finance funds. And Nobody cares that nearly 250,000 have been evicted from their homes to prop up the banks.
Nobody seems to care that race hatred and economic sabotage is being whipped up daily, ever worse, against the Catalan and Basque minorities, with the sole aim of conserving far right power and privileges. That billions are gifted to the medieval minded Catholic Church. that laws to acknowledge the huge massacre of innocents under Franco are abolished, along with laws to protect whats left of the coast and National Parks, that new laws now gag all dissent and police raid and jail anarchists and social activists without eveidence……etc
Still there is hope.. we have a NEW PARTY.. Podemos.. who have taken up the ideals of transparency, anti hierarchy, autonomy and feminism and SHAT ALL OVER THEM, selling out in every way possible to gain some power, and mocking with the slogan of the 15M Take the Streets rebellion..that ”no politician can represent us”. Embracing militarism, monarchy and money.
Still there is hope..we have a NEW PARTY.. Ciudadanos (Citizens), the new darling of the State and commercial media, spouting revolutionary rhetoric while planning to rob us with policies to the right of Sarah Palin or Margaret Thatcher.
there is NO USEFUL OR STRATEGIC VOTE
Join the anarchist electoral resistance..Vote for NOBODY.. because nobodycan or will change this decadent society and predatory capitalism using the current electoral system.
