The Deputy for Social Welfare highlights the humanitarian and solidarity work of the host families and the Federation of Associations of Friends of the Saharawi People of Huelva After two months of experiences and coexistence in 25 towns in Huelva, the hundred Saharawi boys and girls who have arrived this year to spend the … Continue reading..‘Vacaciones en Paz’.
The western Sahara was originally abandoned by Spain in a hasty pullout from its Moroccan colony and then forcibly taken over by Morocco.
Spanish volunteers continue to campaign for justice for the Saharawi people. Spain has betrayed the Sahara and flouted the UN policy demanding ab Referendum in Africa’s last openly continued colony by the Morrocan State.
Spain is cashing in on cheap agricultural products and dirty deals for looted extensive Saharawi mineral resources, as well as gaining credit from its US masters for joining them in rejecting the UN referendum mandate in a deal to recognize and give a base to Israel in the Arab country.
Meanwhile the Algerian neighbour is still outraged by the betrayal of the thousands of Saharawi refugees stranded in the desert and has cut off a gas pipeline to Iberia which ran through Morocco.
The Saharawi guerillas have responded by restarting the liberation war and attacking Moroccan troops.
Over 950 MILLION of us use Telegram, but only 6 million in France – yet with supreme arrogance power junkie Macron tries to deprive us all of freedom to express, create., and organize without police and State control.
Consider the Indian state with 100 million users, where tens of millions of farmers and day workers use Telegram in resisting destitution by Big Ag and Thatcherite capitalism.
And what about the giant Russian Federation which tried and failed to close down Telegram and had to back down and live with it, with over 34 million users in a dozen national cultures, thriving alongside the ultra nationalist regime.
What about Brazil?- where the oligarchy still own most of the land and the media, with over 22 million of us relying on free speech on Telegram, millions of homeless have a safe channel organizing in land and shantytown solidarity occupations.
And in the West? Every week we witness new laws restricting, censoring and closing down digital and basic public freedoms. Indeed reports claim that the US may be behind the French crackdown. 27 million people in the United States have downloaded Telegram and represent a pool of free speech and maybe a vital brake on totalitarian crowd-think in the capital of predator Capitalism.
Let’s not forget the millions in the Middle East, Egypt, Saudi, Turkey.. where open expression is often deadly dangerous, as well as Indonesia, Nigeria, Bangladesh Colombia, Mexico…. where repressed minorities could be deprived of safe contact by the hubris of ‘Little King’ Macron.
Anti-censorship activists have described Durov’s arrest as part of a wider campaign against free speech waged by Western governments, with NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden accusing France of taking the entrepreneur “hostage” in order to access private communications on Telegram.
France has been plunged into further political chaos after ‘KING’ Macron refused to name a primeminister from the leftwing coalition that won the most parliamentary seats in the snap election he himself called….
On CNN, Harris stuck to echoing Biden’s rhetoric — calling for a ceasefire while dodging the reality that the U.S. government could force one by implementing an arms embargo on Israel.
Dealing out crumbs through humiliating charity and robotised slavery. With nothing to guarantee any more, the technicians in power promise only crisis and emergency – and soon war. In the guise of defence against the rabid attacks in recent weeks they have enhanced their arsenal of social control against all of us.
MEANWHILE RACIST ATTACKS TAKE PLACE IN BROAD DAYLIGHT.
The perpetrators target ‘immigrants’ (or whoever they classify as such) with abuse, chemical dousing, threats, beatings, fire and bricks.
This is the worst kind of cowardice: kneeling in front of bosses and leaders, but leaping up to strike at anyone they fear coming from below them.
Without a doubt masses of angry citizens join behind them, perhaps more hesitant to act, but no less lobotomised by fear of the outsider.
What they don’t see is that every inch of space is at the mercy of profit and control.
Everyone and everything is molded in the image of an inhuman ‘progress’. The human dream of belonging and co-existence is murdered and re-animated as the zombie of imperiled nationalism.
This disgrace is encouraged by the mass conformity of addiction to politics, media and social media. It is a high-tech attention racket, churning out new things to be terrified of, or furious at – anything to keep us scrolling and clicking.
Now, after the smoke of would-be pogroms has cleared, the state continues to sing its lullaby of ‘safety’ – set in a fairytale kingdom of multicultural unity.
But we know its knights in shining armour are cops, judges, screws, snitches, and tech companies selling DIY surveillance.
And the unity they defend is only made up of deadly, voluntary obedience – to subhuman housing and rent, life-devouring work, and poisonous consumption.
To let ourselves be lulled by the sham product of ‘security’ comes at a high price – our own living thought and will to act: a nice deal for those with power and privilege, and shameful dispossession for the rest of us, left sitting ducks.
Enough of all that! We won’t help to decorate this exploited wasteland with flags and democratic lies.
It’s time to act, face each other, face reality, choose our companions in struggle and confront what is destroying us.
In the Harehills neighbourhood of Leeds, the attempt by the cops and social services to abduct several children against their will led to a night of multi-racial rebellion from the combative youth of the area.
In Croydon a gathering of 50 people, against a fascist threat that came to nothing, didn’t let the moment go to waste – attacking police and barricading streets.
But we don’t need to wait for the final straw.
Let’s form self-organised groups, without flags or leaders, meet, talk, identify the questions that are making our lives unliveable, starving our children, throwing us out into the streets or forcing us to live in urban destitution and humiliation.
Without unions or political parties, let’s self-organise the attack on the existent with those we choose and coordinate our struggles, bringing forth quality, solidarity, joy, starting right now to create a world worth living in.
