The Amazing Story of a Cryptocurrency that could save Greece (and Maybe the World)
The activist Enric Duran, known as ‘Robin Banks’, and collective has launched FairCoin by Laia Gordi
Enric Duran, also known as Robin Banks, met us in an encrypted chat room and told us that he still lives in hiding.“To defend myself I had to hack the monetary system, isn’t that strange?” he told me.
“The first years of hiding in the underground I was using Bitcoin for security reasons to manage some aspects of my situation”, explained Duran, who says the more he learnt, the more he realized the potential of ‘disruptive technology‘.
From then on the idea a cryptocurrencies was born, which offers to replace the dependence on the states and the banks with the value of ‘integral revolution’ (revolución integral). Continue reading “The Amazing Story of a Cryptocurrency that could save Greece (and Maybe the World)”
Why 100’s of Men Want to Rape and Kill Coralie Alison
Australian Feminist ‘Hits Wrong Note’
BY VICTORIA A. BROWNWORTH
CORALIE ALISON **Trigger Warning** *Sexual Assault Themes*
Rape threats are to social media as catcalling is to walking down the street for women–commonplace. If I had a dollar for every time a man has threatened me on Twitter, I would have my mortgage payment every month.
It’s the ugly side of social media–the very thing that allows women to connect with other women all over the world, especially on feminist issues, also allows men from all over the world to harass us. Yes, you can protect your account on Twitter, but that pretty much defeats the purpose of getting your message out to a wider audience.

2 new Anarchist Social Centres Occupied: Rubí and Transformadors
In parts of Spain it’s a good moment for social occupations . In Barcelona, Madrid and other cities local council elections have suddenly swept street revolutionaries into power, with a mandate to slow down mass evictions by the predator banks, etc.
Strange things can happen. For example in her 1st days in power Barcelona’s mayoress Ada Colau turned up at a family eviction herself and just ordered the riot police to go home. We translate here the press release of a more traditional anarchist takeover in a traditionally communist workers town of 70,000 in Catalonia…… Continue reading “2 new Anarchist Social Centres Occupied: Rubí and Transformadors”

PKK take out Turkish Gas line ..2 new wars begin.
Turkey-Iran gas pipeline and power line blown up. http://kurdiscat.blogspot.com.es/ …..
”The pipeline explosion occurred yesterday and was confirmed by the Turkish Energy Minister. Although not necessary, in fact, by evidence of images. It was destroyed as it passes through the Turkish town of Agri. The pipeline has been operating at full capacity since 2014 by an agreement between the Islamist government in Ankara and Tehran. Apart from this, on July 24, a power line was attackedlinking Cizre to Silopi. Self-Defense Forces, the PKK militias, use similar actions in the last phase of the war. The high cost of losses facilitated the peace process initiated by the government of Turkey, a solution they have now decided to unilaterally break.”
comment. So what’s the deal?.
So… another war, or another two wars begin. It is hard to believe the Turkish leaders are so upset by the slaughter of 32 socialist and anarchist community activists, mainly Kurdish (who they doubly hate, especially the women) nor could they be so irate about the (apparent) revenge killing by the PKK of 2 cops they said were linked to the slaughter, as to abandon a hard won truce of five years and declare war on 18% (or 14million) of their own population. .. It seems this had been brewing for a while and they’ve been waiting for or making a pretext.
Although the imprisoned PKK leader Ocalan has long renounced Leninism and terrorism and has fomented the ‘Municipal anarchism ‘ of the Rojava Revolution, the Turkish State, led by ‘mad dog’ Erdogan just can’t stomach any Kurdish authonomy .. So what’s the deal?….seems that in return for the US NOT helping the Kurds (YPG and YPJ) move west, joining with another enclave and usefully expelling the IS forces attacking Aleppo, the US bombers get to use their base in Incirlik..
For now the furious Turkish military aren’t allowed to just bomb the Rojava Revolution to oblivion (how they HATE those free women).. but we don’t know what else was in the deal. So IS get to be bombed by the Turks as well in some areas (how much?), but the YPG and YPJ wont be let come and kick them out.
But bombing IS doesn’t work. This means that a 50km stretch of border west of Kobani may stay in IS hands and they can switch their blocked trade and expand their lucrative supply lines, always tolerated by Turkey, of indoctrinated recruits, money and goods, in exchange for oil. The border held by IS So the wars within insane immoral wars will be ‘lubricated’ and arms profits will further boom.
. (The Jarablous area and crossing could easily be taken by the Kurds, with air help, but this is now ruled out by the Turkish/US agreement. Equally it could be taken by the Aleppo rebel groups from the West… ruled out because the US would be seen aiding Al Nusra.)

Potent Pussy ‘Coño Potens’: Diana J Torres Reclaims Female Sexuality
COÑO POTENS..Manual sobre su poder su próstata y sus fluidos
Powerful Pussy..manual on your power, your prostate and your fluids
For centuries, medical science has been one of the main enemies of the body and sexuality of women, silencing and pathologizing anatomical realities and everything that did not fit within the parameters of phallocracy, binary heterosexuality and gender roles.
The words of this book sprout like daggers, revealing one of the most controversial sexual aspects of our vaginas: ejaculation. In a didactic way, from a radical and militant feminist view ( and plenty of ill feeling), and based on her own personal experience and a long process of research, the author presents a new ‘pornoterrorist’ explosive device, a liquid pump with which to blow up the hetero-patriarchic colonization that official medicine has created in our bodies and minds throughout history.
