STOP all psychotic religious/capitalist/nationalist States
Iran has never attacked another country, the US, dozens.

Iran is obviously getting the bomb, but it has never yet attacked another country.(Unlike the US which has dozens of times). Right now Iran is controlled by religious nutters, just like Israel and the partly the US, who are threatening to BOMB its 78 million diverse and  innocent people ‘into the stone age’. The people of Iran, Israel and the US should get together to smash the religious, capitalist and State institutions that threaten to burn them alive and blow their children to bits.

Pressured by the US, the UN’s atomic watchdog will say this week that  Iran is developing nuclear arms .

The maniacs who control Israeli have said again they want to bomb Iran, which is surrounded by aggressive and psychotic Nuclear States..Israel, Pakistan, India and the good old USA.

The media is packed with commercial glorification of WAR.

WHY WHY WHY??  this is MADNESS.

It seems the US financial empire is tottering, despite its efforts to boost its ‘military industry’ with multiple wars, causing

up to a million dead bodies, just in Iraq. When I googled images with the tag ‘insane war industry’ I came up instead with 1000’s of photos publicizing

wonderful electronic war games and films. THIS is just OBSCENE MANIPULATION

War is the Logic of Capital, it seems,  the modern State will stop at nothing to hold onto power, and the religious state is just a horror story.

The 1% need a new war, the infiltration, assassinations and black ops have already begun.. It remains to be seen if Obama can stop them, or if a horrific incident can be blamed on the Iranis, sweeping the way clear on a tide of nationalist hysteria.

WAR POSTPONED??

Reading lots of articles it seems to me that no country dares yet to start the Irani war.  All are playing a criminally dangerous game of ‘Chicken’ to satisfy their nationalist, capitalist and religious supporters, but not really desperate enough to take that crazy step, unless some sector jumps the gun…. LET’S HOPE That’s True..

 

 

 

 

10,000 at anti tar sands demo..Obama out golfing

As many as ten thousand demonstrators gathered in Washington today, joining hands to encircle the White House in a human chain. They called on President NOXL demonstration to block keystone XL pipeline. Jon Walker

Obama to live up to his campaign promises and NOT approve a pipeline to shunt some of the dirtiest oil in the world into America’s heartland.

For months, it had appeared that the Keystone XL pipeline was a done deal. But the pressure appears to be paying off, and just this week President Obama appeared to be backing off, saying he would do what’s best for the economy, but also what’s best for the health of the American people.

The pipeline is a $7 billion project that would carry oil derived from the tar sands of Alberta, Canada – some of the dirtiest oil there is – all the way across the heart of America down to gulf refineries in Texas. The threat has united an incredible range of opposition, from NASA scientist/climate activist James Hansen to the Republican-majority Nebraska State Legislature. (See: Why we should block the Keystone Tar Sands Pipeline – Sen. Bernie Sanders)

.The State Department is supposed to give its final recommendation by December 31, and prior to this week it looked like Obama might try to hide behind that State Department process to let approval slide through. But this week he “took ownership” of the process. “Only a day ago the President’s press secretary said the State Department would make the call,” noted Bill McKibben, climate activist and founder of 350.org. “Now, it’s very good to see the President taking full ownership of this decision and indicating that the environment will be the top priority going forward.”

Obama was playing golf for most of today’s demonstration.

Visit the Occupied Bank..Ocupat un Banc!

Why have we OCCUPIED a bank?
These are the ultimate expression of capitalism, one of the clearest signals that may be taking profits from the suffering of the majority of the population
Every day, in Spain there are approximately 300 evictions, where banks tend to be those responsible for the evictions of families for non-payment of mortgages. In Barcelona there are thousands of people homeless or living in extreme poverty. On the other hand, just in our neighborhood there are 800 empty flats, and as many other sites continues beyond the residents in the neighborhood.

Per què hem ocupat un banc?
Aquests són la màxima expressió del capitalisme, sent una de les senyals més evidents el fet que puguin estar traient beneficis del patiment de la majoria de la població. Cada dia a l’Estat espanyol hi ha aproximadament uns 300 desnonaments, on els bancs acostumen a ser els responsables dels desnonaments de les famílies per impagament de les hipoteques. A Barcelona hi ha milers de persones sense casa o vivint en extrema pobresa. Com a contrapartida, només en el nostre barri hi ha uns 800 pisos buits, i com a tants altres llocs es segueix fent fora els veïns i veïnes del barri.

What are we doing?
Gradually the activities and workshops are being made (kind of guitar, vegan eatery, etc.). Or are being started (salsa classes, Jiu-Jitsu, etc..), Many people have passed to fix the space or bring things that could be  used (tables, food, books, etc.).. Come and find out what equipment is needed, what activities are being organised or simply to collaborate with the project in the bank and drop a question.

Què estem fent?
Poc a poc són més les activitats i tallers que s’estan realitzant (classe de guitarra, sopadors, etc.) o que estan en procés de començar (classes de salsa, jiu-jitsu, etc.), com molta és la gent que s’ha passat a arreglar l’espai o a portar coses que poguessin servir (taules, menjar, llibres, etc.). Si vols saber què material fa falta, quines activitats s’estan fent o simplement per col·laborar amb el projecte passa’t pel banc i pregunta.

If there is the eviction of the bank:
Concentration-time in front of the space.
-Demonstration at 20pm the same day in Revolution Square.
We can be found every day from 17h to 22h or 19h every Thursday at the assembly space.

Si es produís el desallotjament del banc:
-Concentració en el moment davant de l’espai.
-Manifestació a les 20h del mateix dia a plaça Revolució.


Ens pots trobar cada dia de 17h a 22h o cada dijous a les 19h a l’assemblea de l’espai.
VINE I PARTICIPA!ALLIBERANT ESPAIS, CONSTRUÏNT ALTERNATIVES!

Barcelona castle an Occupied Social Center

Long abandoned in 2000 the castle  returned to build life as a squatted social center, soon evicted  and left alone again into oblivion. Today we have liberated it..we  have taken back the castle, and now open to create a meeting space, creation, culture, policy debate and dissent against speculation, and capitalism. We open call to come to build with us your passionate projects…

Desde hace un siglo el castillo encima de la montañas de les planes ha permanecido en desuso, abandonado y detoriorandose, pasando de propietario en propietario sin ninguna intencion visible ya que se inicio como sanatorio nunca llego a ser completado. Durante la guerra civil fue utilizado por la resistencia antifascista como hospital, donde tambien estubo internado George Orwell.

For a century the castle above the mountains of Les Planes has been in disuse, abandoned and detoriorating, from one owner to another without any visible intention as it was started as a sanatorium never to become complete. During the Civil Warit  was used by the anti-fascist resistance as a hospital, where George Orwell was also interned.

Luego en el 2000 volvió tender vida como centro social okupado y desalojado para solo volver ser dejado en el olvido. Hoy dia lo hemos vuelto a liberar! hemos tomado el castillo, y ahora lo abrimos para crear un espacio de encuentro, de creacion, de cultura, de debate y politica de disidencia contra la especulacion, y el capitalismo. Hacemos un llamamiento abierto para venir a construir junto a nosotros; tus projectos, ven a pasiar, a conocer.

Lethal radioactivity spreads as Fukushima hots up.

Japan Times: It is now a “grave situation” at Fukushima — “Plutonium fission” mentioned for first time — “Criticality is very likely to have occurred”

The meltdowns are still out of control. Every day more radioactive ‘Hotspots’ are found, many 100’s of kms away, but latest reports shoe the stations may have GONE CRITICAL AGAIN.

 Nov. 3, 8:30 pm ET      Tepco announced Wednesday that, according to the Times, “There is the possibility that criticality, a sustained nuclear chain reaction, had occurred ‘temporarily’ and ‘locally’ in the No. 2 reactor.”

During it’s testing, Tepco has detected xenon-133 and -135, “Products of uranium or plutonium fission.”

The half life of xenon-135 is about 9 hours, therefore, “Criticality is very likely to have occurred just before the gases were analyzed,” reports the Times.

“Clearly the reactor has not yet been stabilized,” and, according to the Times, “The fact that Tepco cannot deny the possibility of criticality irrespective of its scale is a grave situation.”

And the article notes, “Conditions are similar in the Nos. 1, 2 and 3 reactors.”

Now is the time to get “serious” writes The Times:

  • “Tepco should make serious efforts to accurately grasp the conditions of nuclear fuel inside the reactors.”
  • “Tepco and the Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency should take a serious view of the fact that radioactive xenon pointing to criticality was detected from the No. 2 reactor. What happened in it can happen in the Nos. 1 and 3 reactors.”

Occupy London: Loose Canon Fired..SchnewsNews

Read super SCHNEWS News HERE:: Home

Despite threats of violence from the authorities and anti-activist propaganda from the media, Occupy London has gone from strength to strength.

The leaderless representatives of the 99% celebrated their first week in occupation by taking a second site at Finsbury Square (about 5 minutes walk from the first site).

The second site is still growing, and they need equipment and people. They’ve a special callout for drivers to haul the tat they’ve collected on site.

The resignation of the Canon of St Pauls, Dr Giles Fraser, has grabbed everyone’s attention.  In his resignation statement he explained that “I cannot support using violence to ask people to clear off the land.”  No wonder this has caught the mainstream media by surprise – this must be the only time that City figure has resigned on principle.

The fake scandals, that the church ‘had’ to close due to health and safety (the deadly presence of tents and stoves), and that the tents were empty at night have both unravelled due to them being total bollocks.

Occupy LSX now boasts its own newspaper, The Occupied Times of London. The first edition came out on Wednesday, with more to follow. Read all about it here: http://occupylsx.org/?p=509 .

Meanwhile Outside of London…

Fashionably late, but guaranteed to be fantastic darling, Occupy Brighton is holding its first General Assembly this Saturday at 2pm, Victoria Gardens.

Unfortunately up in Occupied Glasgow things have taken a turn for the tragic. After a….

Greek Resistance wins 50%+ debt cuts

Anarchists have led the heroic resistance in Greece

Months of intense resistance by ordinary people in Greece appear to have resulted in a partial victory. The EU crisis summit conceded that bond holders be forced to shoulder 50% of their losses. This did not come easy, Greek workers have staged several general strikes and Athens has seen day after day of large scale rioting.

Only the traitorous intervention of the Stalinist Union to help the police prevented the 500,000 demonstrators taking Parliament on the 2nd day of the last General Strike.

The contrast with Ireland is clear. Here the union leadership called off token resistance in the first months of the crisis and workers passively marched, shrugged their shoulders and went home. As a result the ordinary Irish worker alone, the majority of ‘the 99%’, have shouldered all the costs. Bond holders will scontinue to have their failed gambles covered. Next

Clearing the neighbourhood of terrorist police

week alone another 700 million will be handed over to the Irish & global 1% to cover their losses in Anglo. This is our ‘thanks’ for being the poster boys for austerity across Europe.

It is true that the intention is still to impose further vicious rounds of austerity on workers in Greece. So this partial victory is only that but hopefully it will give heart to those who have fought and are continuing to fight to resist those intentions there as well as being a lesson on how resistance is fertile to those of us in Ireland.

The details of how the EU will finance the bailout are dodgy to say the least, running from a reliance on China to lend the needed funds to the construction of another round of mysterious ‘Special Purpose Investment Vehicles’ designed to turn the debts into attractive investments. Despite this the Stock Markets have still initially welcomed the new deal, presumably out of desperation and relief that the next stage of the crisis has been once more postponed.
