In Moscow demo: anarchists,feminists, LGBT activists

An open microphone assembly was held within the giant Moscow demonstrations

Almost all the speakers at a makeshift assembly were unanimous that the opposition status, consider themselves the ideologues of the protest movement, just want to get into power and do not intend to defend the interests of ordinary people. It is unlikely that peace, even thousands, meetings will lead to some radical changes. Defend the rights people can only do by fighting against the state and capital, and building around libertarian attitude.

When podium held by the free “opposition” oligarch Prokhorov, in black and red series he shouted, “Get in your Courchevel” and “The Power of millions, not the millionaires.” Anarchists and other participants in the meeting tried to block billionaire. Unfortunately, its passage further provided personal protection, but after Prokhorov flying snowballs.

After 16 hours, when some protesters began to disperse, and on the prospect of Sakharov became freer, and the column of anarchists and anti-fascists have joined together with her group of feminists, LGBT activists and individual representatives of the organized left-wing organizations has moved closer to the stage. The anarchists chanted “Freedom, equality, anarcho-communism,” “Higher, higher, black flag, the state chief enemy,” “Fascism shall not pass!”, “Our country – all of humanity!”(During a speech to the main podium speakers Nazi views), “All politics – crooks and thieves,” “Our candidate – self-government”, “Come on out, bring us a city,” “Down with fascism and capitalism,” “Path to Freedom – a revolution! “And other slogans.

After the meeting a column of anarchists, along with other protesters managed to arrange a procession from the expanded attributes and lit fireworks in the alley and Orlikova Kalanchevskaia street. Standing in a cordon police decided not to detain demonstrators.

About 18 hours, even at the metro station “Red Gate”, the ultra-right attacked a group of anarchists, who were returning from the rally. Police arrested along with neo-Nazis three anarchists, but they were soon released.

Argentina Investigates Human Rights Crimes of Spain’s Franco Era – IPS ipsnews.net: BUENOS AIRES, Dec 28, 2011 (IPS) – A judge in Argentina has begun to investigate human rights crimes committed during Spain’s civil war and the dictatorship of General Francisco Franco (1936-1975).

This month, federal judge Mar�a Servini asked Spain for information on Spanish military officials, as part of a new investigation based on a lawsuit filed in April 2010 by human rights lawyers in Argentina in the name of relatives of victims of the Franco dictatorship.

The judge requested the names of military officers involved in the Franco regime; lists of victims of forced disappearance and summary execution; lists of children who were stolen from their parents during the dictatorship; and the names of companies that allegedly benefited from the forced labour of political prisoners.

Huelga de Hambre contra el Sistema/ Hunger Strike vs. the System,

Huelga de Hambre contra el sistema/Hunger strike against the system  (in English below)

 La situación económica que prercariza a los más desfavorecidos, no es fruto de una “crisis” sino de una ESTAFA producida por el sistema financiero y respaldada por los poderes públicos de todo el Estado español. A su vez, estos poderes públicos están respaldados por todos los políticos institucionalizados del país, desde la derecha, pasando por los nacionalistas, hasta la “izquierda”, con su muda política de “quien calla, otorga”, quienes, en vez de tener la más mínima decencia de abandonar todos los parlamentos para dejar gobernar a los ladrones en solitario, participan democráticamente del latrocinio institucionalizado.

Los ricos, cada vez son más ricos y cada vez pagan menos impuestos.  Los pobres, cada vez somos más pobres y cada vez pagamos más impuestos.  Los esfuerzos de nuestra supervivencia, sólo están destinados al enriquecimiento de los ladrones institucionalizados.

Por tanto, yo Francisco Javier Cañadas Gascón –Xavi para los amigos- nacido y residente en la ciudad de Barcelona, en plenas facultades mentales decido unilateralmente declararme en “Huelga de Hambre y Sed, indefinida” a partir de 31 de diciembre de 2011, a las 12,00h ante la puerta principal de la Generalitat de Catalunya, situada en Pl. Sant Jaume. Y exijo, porque en esta ocasión no es de recibo pedir a los políticos ladrones institucionalizados, los siguientes puntos, para deponer mi actitud:

1.- Eliminación por Decreto Ley del Copago sanitario.

2.- Absolución sin cargos de los 20 compañeros y compañeras acusados de terrorismo por el juez Eloy Velasco de la Audiencia Nacional, por el “Cas Parlament” del 15 de junio de 2011, porque considero que la disidencia no es terrorismo y sí lo es el “latrocinio político institucionalizado”.

3.- Abolición inmediata de todos los desahucios, con carácter retroactivo desde 2008.

4.- Abolición inmediata de la Monarquía.

5.- Eliminación, por decreto ley de la cámara del senado.

6.- Nacionalización de toda la Banca-Usura.

7.- Reducción del 75% de las retribuciones de todos los “Políticos Institucionalizados” de España.

8.- Reducción en un 200% de los presupuestos de Defensa e Interior.

9.- Requisación de todas las cuentas situadas en paraísos fiscales y expulsión permanente del país de todos sus propietarios.

10.- Aumento en un 200% de las partidas presupuestarias de Sanidad, Educación, Cultura y Servicios Sociales.

Hunger strike against the system / Hunger Strike Against the system

The economic situation prercariza the disadvantaged, not the result of a “crisis” but a SCAM produced by the financial system and supported by governments around the Spanish State. In turn, these public authorities are supported by all political institutionalized in the country, from the right, to the nationalists, to the “left” with its policy change “who remains silent, gives” who, instead of having the slightest decency to leave all parliaments to stop thieves govern alone, participate democratically in the institutionalized theft.

The rich are becoming richer and more and pay less taxes. The poor, we are increasingly poor and increasingly pay more taxes. The efforts of our survival, are only intended to enrich the institutionalized thieves.

Therefore I Cañadas Francisco Javier Gascón, Xavi for friends, born and residing in the city of Barcelona, ​​in sound mind decided unilaterally declared an indefinite “Hunger and Thirst Strike, undefined” from December 31, 2011, to the 12.00 h at the front door of the Generalitat de Catalunya, located in Plaça Sant Jaume. And I demand, because this time is not acceptable to ask politicians institutionalized thieves, the following points, to depose my attitude:

1 .- Elimination of Copayment health Decree.

2 .- Absolution without charge of 20 colleagues accused of terrorism by Judge Eloy Velasco of the National Court, on the “Cas Parlament” of June 15, 2011, because I think that dissent is not terrorism, and yes it is the “institutionalized political thievery.”

3 .- immediate abolition of all foreclosures, retroactively from 2008.

4 .- immediate abolition of the monarchy.

5 .- Disposal, by decree of the senate chamber.

6 .- Nationalization of the entire Banking and Usury.

7 .- 75% reduction of the salaries of all the “Political Institutionalized” from Spain.

8 .- Reduced to 200% of the budgets of Defense and Interior.

9 .- requisition of all accounts located in tax havens and permanent expulsion from the country of all its owners.

10 .- Increase by 200% of the budget of Health, Education, Culture and Social Services.

Kazakhstán Kicks off.. Smash the criminal State!

  kazakhstan kicks off

Kazakh resistance to State massacres

On December 16th (Kazakhstan’s Independence Day) more than 3,000 people met up for a demonstration at the main square of Zhanaozen, a town situated in the oil-rich Mangystau Province in the west of the country.

The people who took part in action were the ex-workers of local oil companies, fired after a bitter seven month strike. Their main demands were the payment of all outstanding salaries and improvement of work conditions.

As expected the oil workers and other town folk announced their intentions to hold a peaceful protest to the authorities of Kazakhstan. However, during the demo, a police Jeep was deliberately driven into the crowd of protesters and ‘peaceful’ went out of fashion from there on in. Angry people turned a police car upside down and set it on fire. A nearby police bus and a yurt (placed on the square “for the celebrations”) were

oil strikers camp Kazakhstan

also torched. Following this, the people, armed with sticks, pipes and molotov cocktails occupied the office of the local gas company and burned rooms on the ground floor of its office building. The local council building and a hotel were also burned. The oil workers surrounded the building and would not let the firemen get to the building. As an encore, they looted the houses of the rich in the exclusive, private area of town.

The state’s answer was to send army divisions, armoured transport and more police. The town’s population defended the strikers and, as a result of the attempt to bring it to ‘order’ more than ninety people (civilians and security) are said to have been killed, with eight hundred injured (these numbers are constantly growing).

Unsurprisingly, official media channels tell of much lower numbers. Many workers across the region have stopped work in support of the demonstrators. First oil workers of Mangystau Province started a sympathy strike, then workers of non-oil industries in the region also stopped their work in solidarity. The protests have become a general strike.

In what will probably become a 21st century standard ‘state-under-threat’ response, mobile phones in affected areas cannot be accessed, landlines do not work, Internet social networks and media are being blocked.

Of course, no mention has been made of punishing any police officers for firing on unarmed and peaceful people.The vast majority of the profits from the sale of the country’s resources are not shared with the nation’s poor, and the Kazakh government has a terrible human rights record. Time and time again members of the security forces, torture, beat, and mistreat detainees. The government continues to use arbitrary arrest and detention, and selectively prosecutes political opponents, often detaining them for long periods.

One might say that the spirit of the Arab spring has been taken up by Central Asians, but with the current low media interest (apart from a few newspapers here and there), there isn’t the same pressure on president Nazarbayev that there has been on Middle-Eastern leaders this past year (and they weren’t exactly exactly keen to fold up that pressure in any event).

However, Kazakhs don’t need to look as far away as the Arab world for inspiration. Another ex-Soviet Central Asian country, Kyrgystan, chucked out their despotic president Bakiyev in April 2010, following riots and demonstrations that led to Bakiyev’s ousting and the formation of a transitional government, headed by former philosophy lecturer Roza Otunbayeva. And what country did Bakiyev flee to? Kazakhstan.

No doubt president Nazarbaev has double checked his private jets are full of fuel and that his Swiss bank cashcard is still valid. Just in case.

‘History of ‘The Free’

 The first version came out in 1986 in Brixton, by the class-less Hooligan Press from the gang who ran 121 Anarchist Bookshop, Brixton Squatters Aid, with its revolting paper The Crowbar, and Sth London Stress etc, linked to both Black Flag and Class War. It sold out and was reprinted in 1992 by Attack International, and in German by Killroy Press.

In 2007 I began to update it and realised it needed a rewrite. Inspired by the Barcelona anarcho-squatting scene, where I live, this new edition is 3 times as long and 10 times better, with lots more humour, sex and triumphing alternatives. It does have some following, a huge number of Fiends on Farcebook, plus the Wordmess blog for free downloads (https://thefreeonline.wordpress.com). Also available on Scribd, Authonomy, Google, Issuu and the Anarchist Library,etc.) but still needs piles of word of mouth publicity to be more widely read…

That’s where you could help..
