Statement from the Assembly of the Kike Mur Occupied Social Center (CSO ), in Zaragoza

June , 2015 It is time to do some thinking, to confirm our commitment and to forge ahead.

The Assembly of the squatted social center Kike Mur has been, for over four years, giving life to an abandoned building and putting into practice the assemblyism, horizontality and anti-authoritarian methods.

We believe that it’s now a good idea to make a political definition of the reality we have been creating throughout our history. We have self-organized by way of a free association of people working together and trying to be equal. We decide, we act and we take responsibility for managing the resources.

We define ourselves as anarchists. This will not entail any change in the management of the CSO, and in our lives, but fulfills the need to define the attitude with which we organize ourselves and the work we do within this space.

For these reasons,
DEATH TO THE STATE AND LIVE ANARCHY! Continue reading “Zaragoza Occupiers declare for Anarchism”

Top Ansarullah Leader Welcomes UN-Backed Yemen Peace Talks TEHRAN (FNA)– A senior leader of Yemen’s Ansarullah movement welcomed upcoming UN-sponsored peace talks over the deadly conflict in the Arab country.

On Wednesday, Mohammed Ali al-Houthi, the head of the Supreme Revolutionary Council, voiced the movement’s readiness to take part in the peace talks, which is expected to kick off in the Swiss city of Geneva on June 14, press tv reported.

“Dialogue is the principle to us. There are no objections to talks,” said the second-in-command of the Ansarullah movement in an interview with The Associated Press.

They allow investors to sue States but not vice-versa.” Under this framework, states have faced penalties for “for adopting regulations, for example to protect the environment, food security, access to generic and essential medicines, and reduction of smoking, as required under the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control, or raising the minimum wage,” resulting in a “chilling effect,” the officials warn.

Despite the Senate vote approving a measure to give President Obama fast-track authority to negotiate the secretive Trans-Pacific Partnership deal, opposition to the deal continues to mount ahead of this month’s House vote. Critics, including a number of Democratic lawmakers, oppose the TPP, saying it will fuel inequality, kill jobs, and undermine health, environmental and financial regulations. The negotiations have been secret, and the public has never seen most of the deal’s text. Well, this morning the whistleblowing group WikiLeaks launched a campaign to change that. The group is seeking to raise $100,000 to offer what they describe as a bounty for the leaking of the unseen chapters of the TPP. We speak to WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange.
