Introducción

En conmemoración a la tradición de Agosto Negro (Black August) que surgió en los años 70 para honrar a George Jackson y otros compañeros del movimiento revolucionario dentro de las prisiones de California, nos solidarizamos con decenas de presas y presos políticos del Movimiento de Liberación Negra encarcelados en las prisiones de Estados Unidos durante décadas.

En este libro compartimos el espíritu revolucionario de personas de enorme compromiso y valor, con impresionantes historias de lucha en sus comunidades y dentro de las prisiones. Estos hombres y mujeres se han mantenido dignos e inquebrantables ante todo tipo de trato cruel y degradante.

A pesar de la guerra desatada contra ellos a través del programa COINTELPRO del FBI y los continuos esfuerzos de la policía organizada y los medios comerciales para borrarlos de la historia es posible encontrar información verídica sobre sus casos en algunos libros, documentales o sitios web, pero casi todo en inglés.

Alternative trade unions in Catalonia call for general strike for October 3

A van of the occupying paramilitary police , swamped by the multitude and trapped for half a day.

The General Confederation of Workers (CGT) of Catalonia has presented a notice of call for general strike. The protest must be ratified by union members’ assemblies, sources from the organization’s secretariat said.

‘Unite the Struggles.. Towards the General Strike’

According to the union secretary general, Ermengol Gassiot, the general strike has been set for October 3 “because of the legal deadlines to be followed.” This call is made, for two reasons: “on the one hand, to claim the social and labor rights violated by the labor reforms since 2010 and, on the other, to fight against the cuts of fundamental rights and against the presence of armed forces in our places of work “.

Greenpeace activists block shipment of thousands of polluting VW motors
A CARGO ship carrying thousands of Volkswagen diesel-fuelled cars to Britain was forced to sail to another port yesterday after it was seized by environmental activists.
Around 25 protesters used kayaks and boats to reach the 23,000-ton car carrier in Sheerness Port in Kent at around 8.30am, environmental group Greenpeace said.
They climbed the ship and hung from the 27m-high unloading door, vowing to remain until Volkswagen “takes its toxic cars back to Germany.”
The ship turned around and sailed to Margate with the protesters still hanging on, according to the charity.

Catalonia Revolution: Hundreds of Thousands block and defy Military police Repression

Yesterday 20th Sept 2017 was a key day in Catalonia as thousands of military police invaded Barcelona city and began searching government offices of the local government, which is having its finances seized, and arresting public officials.

The response was unbelievable, on an ordinary weekday gigantic crowds appeared in Barcelona, Catalonia and around Spain. The police were blockaded and frustrated and withdrew when they finally could.

The day was a victory despite everything in that it showed it will be impossible to stop the Referendum without tens of thousands more imported police who are needed elsewhere. the only other option would be to call in the army.

CNT warns of riot cops shipped into Barcelona docks

Published September 21, 2017

from FreedomPress

In the febrile atmosphere of Catalonia’s attempted independence referendum and repression from Madrid, activists with the anarchist CNT union report that national police have been shipped in from all over Spain and are holed up at Barcelona’s port, seemingly in preparation to crush any significant upheavals.

Dock workers with Portuaris CNT have been tracking police movements in the Prince of Spain and Lepanto docks where three large ferries have been spotted which appear to be acting as hubs for officers loyal to the national PP (conservative) government.

Spanish President Mariano Rajoy has taken a heavily repressive line with the regional Catalan govenment over plans to mount a what Rajoy calls an illegal independence referendum on October 1st. Yesterday regional administrative offices across Catalonia were raided and 14 people detained, sparking a tense protest and standoff in Barcelona.

Madrid appears to be concerned about the loyalty of police on the ground, who are administered by the Barcelona government and have reportedly been reluctant to crack down hard on increasingly rowdy protests in the regional capital. A centrally-organised presence of national guard operating out of the docks would appear to be the PP’s standby measure to quickly enforce control if events escalate.
