In December, I wrote a blog that Ireland was sleepwalking into fascism. After the local government and European elections in the south and Westminster elections the following month and with France about to elect neo-fascists as the largest party as I write, it appears that we are well along the way. In the blog, I […]

The UK’s general election has been a landslide for Labour – but only because millions of people couldn’t be bothered to vote; they were that disillusioned with our system and they were probably right. The UK’s registered electorate is 48,214,128 people, but turnout was just 59.9 per cent – so only 28,880,263 people voted and […]
Landslide for Labour – but only because millions of people couldn’t be bothered

Many of you have asked why the Tarcoteca has stopped publishing, what has happened to make us stop issuing our usual counter-info and analysis.
Many have responded correctly. For some time now, we have been suffering harassment.
We believe it all started with the Censorship of the PAMA/AYP Anarchist Yellow Pages, of which there is a brief summary Here
First there were some sporadic but very specific posts back in 2019.
Later the pace of complaints increased until they made us remove entire blocks of publications.
Starting in 2022, things intensified even more, hiding behind anti-spam laws.
In 2023 the first complaints arrived in court.
In 2024 we had to remove more than 200 posts, the work of a year and a half.
At first, blogger was forced by judges to remove posts. Afterwards, the blogger began to actively participate in the persecution, as we repeatedly denounced.
Until, one day, the men in black arrived, Spanish version.
A famous ultra-fascist union, piojosapol or something like that, had sent its lackeys to investigate.
Obviously, our identity is not, nor has it ever been, secret, but we use a pseudonym; That is, we always use the same anonymous, from the same devices, to the same addresses and the activity logs are public, including the original IP.
We don’t do anything criminal, so whoever wants to look for us doesn’t have to dig deep to find us. And that was what happened.
Two guys showed up in a gray Opel; one thin, disheveled and with the face of a junkie; the other chubby, with a torrent curtain and armed with a cell phone. From a Jaimito movie. They hung around a couple of times.
Last time, they spent the night in the car, parked in front of my house. Finally, they introduced themselves to me, asking photos and asking questions; teaching sheet metal and pipe.
They were answered as they deserved; I was quite polite between shouts and shouts.
I ended up in court.
THE TARCOTECA WAS DEFEATED; you learn from everything.
I am not going to tell the details or the end of this story, because it is not over, but I am going to admit that I made a serious miscalculation.
LA TARCOTECA Contrainfo: Represión y las Listas Negras contra CNT: 5 …tarcoteca.blogspot.com
I never believed that fascism would want to purge a minority blog like this. I never believed that human evil had time to devote to me.
Now I know that the next purge will be thorough, deep and definitive. The reds will be exterminated and the blues that remain will be subhuman slaves, which is what they are.
Damn fascists, this humble blog does not deserve that its author ends up behind bars, or worse, as the “officials” mentioned.
We are not going to close it, but from now on we will keep it to a minimum, as you have seen, dedicating ourselves to dissemination and translations, which is what has given us the most joy.
But we move the analyzes to some place you can’t reach. до свидания, фашистские собаки!
From these pages I once again thank Organizations such as Kaos en la Red, especially Diana Cordero, Tercera Información(Third Information), A las Barricadas,, CNT, Antiimperialistas de Txema and Iñaki, Africando, and many others, for their support. We hope we have been of some use to someone.

Cheer up buddy! It wouldn’t be so humble when you’ve bothered those bastards to go after you. There are others who boast that they are against it, they are the resistance and blablablablabla and they do not receive harassment from these subjects, why is it?…. always grateful for the past, present and future work.
Saludos compañerxs. Este es un artículo triste.
Muchxs de vosotrxs han preguntado por qué la tarcoteca ha dejado de publicar, qué es lo que ha sucedido para que dejemos de emitir nuestra contrainfo y análisis habituales. Muchxs han respondido correctamente. Desde hace un tiempo, venimos sufriendo acoso. Pero no en la red, Persecución física.

“This is not a crisis, but the result of a system sold to speculation and the commercialization of housing.” proclaimed the PAH ( Platform for People Affected by Mortgages Movement), which called the Demonstration
New suicide, this time double, as a result of an eviction. In this case, they are two sisters, aged 64 and 54, who took their lives a few hours before the execution of the eviction order set for this Monday at 11 in the morning due to non-payment of rent . .
This is the second case of suicide by eviction known in Catalonia this year, after the 70-year-old resident of Sabadell was evicted from his home after living there for 30 years.
The protesters have denounced a “criminal system” that “causes despair” to families who suffer an eviction order,” said Juanjo Ramón, spokesperson for the PAH,
In this case, there is no previous vulnerability report by the social services of Barcelona City Council.
The activists have demanded from the Administration “measures to change this structural drama” and have criticized the fact that Catalonia continues to be the territory with the most Evictions (they estimate 32 a day) despite having “the most guaranteeing law in Europe”

At 4:30 in the morning, they both jumped into the void through the interior patio of the building where they lived, located on Navas de Tolosa street in the Barcelona neighborhood of Sant Andreu.
The lawsuit for non-payment against the tenants occurred in March 2023 by the owner and according to a statement from the Superior Court of Justice of Catalonia (TSJC), they accumulated a debt of 9,000 euros for not paying the monthly payments established since March 2021.

Barcelona City Council has reported that it became aware of the case in February, when it received a request from the court for a report on the vulnerability of the tenants, arguing its inaction due to not having been able to contact them.
41,359 families evicted during 2021, 40.6% more than in 2020. The highest number of claims were presented in Catalonia, 26.7% of the national total. https://kaosenlared.net/41-359-fa…
The courts, for their part, claimed the impossibility of contacting the victims before the eviction. “The procedure was processed in absentia as no one appeared in the case and the sentence was executed in January 2024,” they point out.
Before these sisters, Álex, a 70-year-old resident of Sabadell, took his own life, having been evicted from his home after more than three decades in it.
After his eviction was confirmed, the man left the home in a state of shock, went to a nearby park and committed suicide.
Álex, 70, took his life a few minutes after being evicted. The events occurred in Sabadell (province of Barcelona), the municipality where he and his partner shared an apartment that had been his home for the last three decades.
Manifestación de la PAH
La manifestación ha sido convocada por la Plataforma de Afectados por la Hipoteca, que ha lamentado que lo sucedido “no es una crisis, sino el resultado de un sistema vendido a la especulación y la mercantilización de la vivienda”

from thefreeonline on 2nd July 2024 from Al Jazeera / Agencies…. now on Telegram: t.me/thefreeonline
Israel has freed dozens of Palestinians detained during its war in Gaza, including the director of one of the enclave’s main hospitals.
Israel released 55 prisoners on Monday to free up space in its jails, unconfirmed reports claimed. Speaking shortly after his return to Gaza, al-Shifa Hospital Director Muhammad Abu Salmiya asserted that Palestinian prisoners in Israel’s prisons were facing daily abuse.
In numbers: 200 days of Israel’s vile massacres of 2.3 million imprisoned for 17 years in Gaza
With thousands of Palestinians having been added to those already detained since the war began on October 7, Israel’s prisons are “full,” reported the Israeli Public Broadcasting Corporation.
Abu Salmiya was arrested amid claims by the Israeli military that Hamas was using al-Shifa Hospital as a base. The medical chief said no charge had ever been laid against him.
Freed after more than seven months of custody, he said detainees endured “daily physical and psychological humiliation” in captivity.

“Our detainees have been subjected to all kinds of torture behind bars,” he said at a news conference in Gaza. “There was almost daily torture. Cells are broken into and prisoners are beaten.
“Several inmates died in interrogation centres and were deprived of food and medicine,” he added.

Tunisians take to the streets again to demand an end to the genocide being committed in Gaza by Israeli occupation forces.
Israeli media rumour: “It is expected in the coming days that the Netanyahu government will announce the conclusion of the operation in Rafah and the end of the war in its current form”
Tunisia saw on Sunday mass popular demonstrations outside the US embassy, in support of Gaza and in rejection of the ongoing Israeli aggression on the Strip, amid demands for the expulsion of the American ambassador and the closure of the embassy.
Since the start of the Israeli war on Gaza, Tunisians have been continuously taking to the streets and staging sit-ins to raise their voices in support of the Resistance and to demand an end to the genocide being committed in Gaza by Israeli occupation forces.
Salaheddine al-Masri, the chairman of the Tunisian League for Tolerance, told Al Mayadeen that the Israeli occupation would destroy itself if it dared to confront the Lebanese Resistance, as evidenced by the United States sending messages to the Israeli entity not to open a front with Lebanon.
Al-Masri also hailed Yemen’s stance, which, according to him, “humiliated” both the Israeli and American armies.
He emphasized that the steadfastness of Palestinian women was the greatest message and slap in the face to the international community, pointing out that inaction toward violations committed by Israeli occupation forces against Palestinian women is a disgrace to the Arabs and humanity.
Elsewhere, the chairman of the Tunisian League for Tolerance pointed to the elderly Palestinian woman who was attacked by the Israeli occupation forces and their dogs during a night raid on her home in the Gaza Strip.
