Since Thursday, May 30, 2024, another anarchist comrade has been incarcerated. On Sunday June 9 at 11am we will march from Martorell Train Station to the prison.

The origin of his case dates back to 2018, when after an anti-fascist demonstration against JUSAPOL, a Nazi wearing a t-shirt of Arjuna, a RAC (Rock Against Communism) music group, fell down the subway stairs of Urquinaona in Barcelona city.

Jusapol is a Spanish association formed by agents of the National Police Corps and the Civil Guard, direct successors of the Fascist Police.

Since then he has been facing a heavy prison sentence and paying compensation of more than 10,000 euros.

Throughout this process, which has lasted more than 5 years, from the Support Group we have pointed out the culprits of what is now the final sentence.

On the one hand, the far-right association of the National Police and Civil Guard called JUSAPOL, convenors of the event that in October 2018 intended to reward the bodies and security forces for attempted suppressing of the October 1 Independence Referendum. (Obviously the police were angry that a supporter was slightly injured after their violent demonstration)

On the other hand, as we pointed out to the Mossos d’Esquadra (local cops), the Prosecutor’s Office and the Judge in charge of orchestrating this case used the maximum force and all the tools at their disposal.

We highlighted the political persecution against the colleague for being identified in the police files as an anarchist, which is how the hate crime against the aggression against a fascist was justified according to the judicial system.

Finally, we highlight the role that Prosegur (the metro’s private security company) played in the trial to magnify the story that led to the colleague’s conviction. .

The prisons of the territory occupied by the Spanish State once again have another Anarchist prisoner, another prisoner for fighting, another prisoner who is added to the long list of those who are already there serving sentences around the world for not giving in to Power.

All this on the same day that the Congress of Deputies was voting on the Amnesty Law: a face wash to make invisible the true repressive nature of the State.

But the sadness we feel will not make us retreat, because we know better than anyone that the fight does not stop regardless of which side of the prison wall the system places you on.

Currently, Abel is kidnapped in the ‘C.P. de Brians’ Prison ( in Sant Esteve Sesrovires outside Barcelona) and we are working to cover the most immediate needs and take care of him and his surroundings.

For this reason, on Sunday June 9 at 11am we will march from Martorell Train Station to show him our support, show him that he is not alone and filter our warmth between the bars. We call for active solidarity, to break normality, to organize and coordinate the response.

We anticipate that on June 22, we will find them again in the streets, the reasons are beyond us, because the only language that the Power understands is that of conflict.

From today until the end, in every scream and every spark,

in every act and every action: A

DIE FOR ANARCHY AND HATE REPRESSION

EFE Barcelona

A judge has sentenced a young pro-independence supporter to three years and nine months for attacking a man who was traveling in the Barcelona metro with a Spanish flag after participating, on November 10, 2018, in a Jusapol demonstration, and to compensate him with more than 9,000 euros.

Jusapol is a Spanish association formed by agents of the National Police Corps and the Civil Guard, direct successor of the Fascist Police..

The events occurred shortly before 2:00 p.m. that day, when the victim – who was not a police officer – was preparing to return home by subway after having participated in a demonstration by the Jusapol union association, and was attacked by the accused of displaying a Spanish flag and a cap.

In its ruling, to which Efe has had access through the law firm Aranda, Melgar & Tàsies, the criminal court number 2 of Barcelona considers it proven that Abel M.C, along with another person, who had participated in a demonstration On the contrary, they followed the victim to the Plaza Urquinaona metro stop with the “sole purpose of causing him bodily harm.”

“Once inside the facilities,” the magistrate maintains in his ruling, the accused’s partner waited until the man “was at the edge of the stairs, who was about to go down,” to give him a “strong push on his back.” the back”, which caused him to “fall down the stairs until he hit the ground head-on”.

As a result of the attack, the victim suffered several injuries that took 12 days to heal, of which he was incapacitated for working life for five, leaving him with moderate aesthetic damage valued at 8 points as a consequence.

In his sentencing, the judge considers that the accused acted motivated by his “animosity towards those” who display “symbols” such as shields or Spanish flags, as was the case of the attacked man.

The judge imposes a sentence of three years and nine months in prison – the public prosecutor had requested 4 years and 9 months in its final conclusions -, the prohibition of approaching the victim at a distance of less than a thousand meters from his person, home or place of work, and to communicate with him for a period of five years.

The judge also sentenced him to pay 550 euros for injuries and another 8,500 euros for the consequences, in addition to having to pay the legal costs.

El nostre company Abel es troba tancat a les presons de l’Estat.

original… – Des del dijous 30 de maig de 2024, un altre company anarquista es troba tancat a les presons de l’Estat.el diumenge 9 de juny a les 11h anirem en Marxa des de l’Estació de Renfe de Martorell per fer-li sentir el nostre suport

L’Abel estava a l’espera de la resposta del Tribunal Suprem sobre el recurs a una condemna de 3 anys i 9 mesos de presó per un delicte de lesions amb agreujant d’odi.

L’origen del seu cas es remunta al 2018, quan després d’una manifestació antifeixista contra JUSAPOL, un nazi que duia una samarreta d’Arjuna, un grup de música de RAC (Rock Against Comunism), va caure per les escales del metro d’Urquinaona. Des d’aleshores s’enfrontava a una forta pena de presó i a pagar una indemnització de més de 10.000 euros.

Durant tot aquest procés, que ha durat més de 5 anys, des del Grup de Suport hem assenyalat als culpables del que ja és la sentència ferma. Per una banda, a l’associació d’extrema dreta de Policia Nacional i Guàrdia Civil anomenada JUSAPOL, convocants de l’acte que l’octubre del 2018 pretenia premiar als cossos i forces de seguretat per reprimir l’1 d’Octubre.

Per altra banda, assenyalem als Mossos d’Esquadra, la Fiscalia i la Jutgessa encarregats d’orquestrar aquesta causa utilitzant amb la màxima contundència totes les eines que tenen al seu abast. Destaquem entre les utilitzades, la persecució política contra el company pel fet de ser identificat en els fitxers policials com anarquista, motiu pel qual es justifica segons l’aparell judicial el delicte d’odi contra l’agressió a un feixista.

Finalment, destaquem el paper que Prosegur (l’empresa de seguretat privada del metro) ha tingut en el judici per magnificar el relat que ha portat a la condemna del company. Les presons del territori ocupat per l’Estat espanyol compten un cop més amb un altre pres Anarquista, un altre pres per lluitar, un altre pres que s’afegeix a la llarga llista dels que ja s’hi troben complint condemna arreu del món per no claudicar enfront del Poder.

Tot això el mateix dia que es votava al congrés dels diputats la Llei d’Amnistia: un rentat de cara per invisibilitzar el veritable caràcter repressiu de l’Estat.

Però la tristesa que sentim no ens farà retrocedir, perquè sabem millor que ningú que la lluita no s’atura malgrat el costat del mur en què et situï el sistema. Actualment, l’Abel es troba segrestat al C.P. de Brians (Sant Esteve Sesrovires) i treballem per poder cobrir les necessitats més immediates i cuidar d’ell i del seu entorn.

Per això, el diumenge 9 de juny a les 11h anirem en Marxa des de l’Estació de Renfe de Martorell per fer-li sentir el nostre suport, demostrar-li que no està sol i filtrar el nostre caliu entre les reixes. Fem una crida a la solidaritat activa, a trencar la normalitat, a organitzar i coordinar la resposta.

Per això, anticipem que el 22 de juny, en tornarem a trobar als carrers, perquè ens sobren els motius, perquè l’únic llenguatge que entén el Poder és el del conflicte.

Des d’avui i fins al final, en cada crit i cada espurna,

en cada acte i cada acció: A

The flight time of ‘SATAN 2’, the Sarmat Intercontinental Ballistic Missile for Hell on Earth

thefreeonline on 2nd June 2024

NEW.. check out Telegram t.me/thefreeonline

The flight time of the intercontinental ballistic rocket Sarmat to the capitals of the biggest States that supply the Ukronazis with weapons was calculated:

To 🇨🇦ottawa – 850 seconds.
After 🇩🇪Berlin – 106 seconds.
To 🇬🇧london – 202 seconds.
To 🇺🇸washington – 995 seconds.
To 🇫🇷Paris – 200 seconds.

In total:
The rocket consumption is 5 units and there is silence in the world, there are no crises, wars, orange revolutions more … … it’s creepy, but it is true, just information.

Putin has repeatedly stressed that Russia was forced to develop the new weapon after the US reneged on its commitment not to build ABM systems.

Sep 1, 2023The Sarmat is one of several advanced weapons whose development Putin announced in 2018. The silo-based missile, capable of carrying multiple nuclear warheads, is intended to replace the R-36 ICBMs that are known by the NATO reporting name of Satan 2. Weighing in at more than 200 tonnes and able to transport multiple warheads, Sarmat is designed to elude anti-missile defence systems with a short initial boost phase, giving enemy surveillance systems a narrow window to track it down.“The missile system Sarmat has a wide range of capabilities for deploying various types of combat payloads and is based on principles that assure guaranteed penetration of any anti-ballistic missile (ABM) system, both now and in the future,”

In a stunning display of hypocrisy the far right regime still refuses UN aid contributions as Gaza residents are slaughtered by Israeli genocide

Worse Than You Can Imagine | West plotted with Israel to Starve 2.3m in Gaza! – Craig Murray

An investigation led by French former foreign minister Catherine Colonna concluded last month that Israel had not provided evidence to support its allegations of UNRWA involvement in the assault.

Despite the concerns raised within the upper levels of the Dutch government, the Netherlands has yet to resume funding to the UNRWA five months after announcing a pause in response to Israeli claims that some agency staff participated in Hamas’s October 7 attacks on southern Israel.

By John Power

In a memo written after the Netherlands joined more than a dozen countries in pausing funding to UNRWA following Israeli claims of links to Hamas, foreign ministry officials stressed the need for the UN agency to continue its work.

The UN agency last week announced it would have to suspend food distribution in Gaza’s southern city of Rafah, where Israel’s military is conducting a ground offensive and air strikes, due to a lack of supplies and security risks.

Ongoing famine in the Gaza Strip

“In a stunning display of hypocrisy the far right regime still refuses UN aid contributions as Gaza residents are slaughtered by Israeli genocide. The refusal continues despite most other countries resuming aid because Israel gave zero proof that any UNRWA staff aided the local Hamas government attack.

“The Israeli allegations were suspiciously followed by an instant worldwide media campaign, with the US cancelling UN aid to Gaza within 24 hours and pressuring its allies to instantly follow suit although no proof was ever offered..

“And in any case Gazans have the right (as recognised in Ukraine) to resist an armed military occupation under International Law.

“The result was a spectacle of millions of starving people blockaded by Israel for 17 years and being massacred daily while the West cut off aid agreed by the UN because Israel had herded millions into a tiny area, blockaded them and cut off supplies and services, etc.

Recently the Netherlands government has veered to the right and supports almost every US sponsored crime including open NATO warmongering now threatening world nuclear annihalation, as well as still denying supply of its share of Gaza aid along with the USA.

The Netherlands still ignores the memo to resume aid

Al Jazeera obtained the memo, which has not been published previously, via a freedom of information request with the Dutch foreign ministry.

“Humanitarian assistance and basic services provided by UNRWA to Gaza and the wider region must be maintained at this stage of the conflict. Other organisations are not adequately equipped for this purpose, including logistical capacities. Further regional destabilisation due to loss of UNRWA capacities must be prevented,” officials in the ministry’s human rights department wrote in the memo to Foreign Minister Hanke Bruins Slot on February 2.

UNRWA staff accused by Israel sacked without evidence, chief admits …

Bruins Slot, a member of the centre-right Christian Democratic Appeal party, expressed agreement with her colleagues in a hand-written note.

“Agreed! Touches whole region that is already unstable,” she wrote on the memo.

“Too long a delay or suspension of already committed support could lead to serious disruptions in UNWRA’s operational capacities resulting in considerably great human suffering,” the memo continued, to which Bruins Slot added a hand-written note expressing her agreement.

“In addition, high humanitarian needs could lead to social disruption and regional escalation, which also poses a risk to Israel’s security. It is also politically relevant to take into account the ruling of the International Court of Justice on adequate humanitarian aid.”

At least half of the 16 countries that suspended funding in response to Israel’s claims, including Australia, Canada, Finland, Germany, Italy, Japan, and Sweden, have since reinstated their support.

“We consider UNRWA again as an aid channel. So we see them again as legitimate partner to work with,” Bruins Slot said in remarks to parliament. “This government has not made any more money available at this time to give more to UNRWA. I hope that there will still be room to do that in the next cabinet.”

OIOS repeated there is no evidence, saying in an update to its investigation last month that it was probing 14 UNRWA staff members over their alleged links to the October 7 attacks, after dropping inquires into five others due to lack of evidence.

Established in 1949, the UNRWA employs about 30,000 people in the Palestinian territories, Jordan, Lebanon and Syria to provide essential services including food, education and healthcare.

Biden Lets Ukraine Strike Russia With US Weapons While Ukraine Attacks Russian Nuclear Defenses -CAITLIN JOHNSTONE

June 2, 2024 – Posted by Christina Macpherson

Well it finally happened: Biden is now letting Ukraine strike Russian territory with US-supplied weapons. Escalations in nuclear brinkmanship which would have been unthinkable a few short years ago are becoming increasingly common as Ukraine loses more and more territory and runs out of soldiers to fight.

In a new report from Politico titled “Biden secretly gave Ukraine permission to strike inside Russia with US weapons” which cites multiple anonymous US officials, the article’s authors correctly describe the new White House authorization as a “stunning shift the administration initially said would escalate the war by more directly involving the U.S. in the fight.”

This report comes shortly after an article by The New York Times titled “From Allies and Advisers, Pressure Grows on Biden to Allow Attacks on Russian Territory,” in which David E Sanger accurately forecast that “Biden is edging toward what may prove to be one of his most consequential decisions in the war for Ukraine: whether to reverse his ban on shooting American weapons into Russian territory.”

Politico reports that the approval for these attacks is limited to “solely near the area of Kharkiv,” but, again, these escalations were once unthinkable even for this administration, and every time a new escalation is authorized the warmongers are already well on their way to pushing for a further one. We will surely see increasing calls for Biden to authorize US-backed strikes deeper into Russian territory in the coming weeks.

This new development comes just after we learned that Ukraine has been repeatedly attacking Russia’s early warning systems for incoming nuclear strikes, with Ukrainian drones targeting Russian radar sites hundreds of miles from Ukrainian-controlled territory.

Just a few years ago if I had told you that a NATO proxy would soon be attacking Russia’s nuclear defense infrastructure, you’d probably have assumed we’d be pretty close to another Cuban Missile Crisis-level nuclear standoff, and that it would be receiving high levels of alarm and attention. But this report is barely in the news, and hardly anyone in the west even knows it’s happening.

This also comes as Reuters reports that France is preparing to send “several hundred” troops to Ukraine to train Ukrainian forces, which of course means we may soon be seeing the armed forces of a NATO power getting killed by the Russian military.

Any of these three new developments has the potential to lead to unpredictable events which spiral out of control into a nuclear war between NATO and the Russian Federation, which would be the single worst thing that could possibly happen on planet Earth. There is no excuse for anyone to be playing around anywhere remotely close to such a precipice, and yet here we are.

As we discussed last year, the terrifying thing about the west’s pattern of continually escalating against Russia every time it doesn’t get a nuclear ICBM in the kisser for the last escalation naturally incentivizes Russia to attack NATO directly in order to re-establish its credibility for deterrence.

So far Russia has been content to respond to NATO’s escalations by just tearing into Ukraine with greater and greater ferocity, but if the western empire keeps interpreting every time Russia doesn’t attack NATO forces directly as a sign that it’s safe to keep escalating, at some point Russia’s going to have to hit NATO.

It is not sane or acceptable that any of this is happening. The empire knowingly provoked this war, and now it’s getting more and more casual about risking the life of everyone on this planet as its proxy runs out of lives to throw into its gears.

And it’s so hard to draw attention to this, because there are so many other horrible things happening in the world which the western empire is also directly responsible for.

The empire is increasingly acting like a wounded, cornered animal as China rises and the US slowly sinks into post-primacy, the only major difference being that wounded, cornered animals have teeth and claws instead of weapons of armageddon.

Biden Lets Ukraine Strike Russia With US Weapons While Ukraine Attacks Russian Nuclear Defenses

Presidents Who Gamble With Nuclear Armageddon – Common Dreams

Each of the last five presidents, both Democrats and Republicans, have brought us closer to the brink. We desperately need leaders with a knack for peace who can steer the nation, and the world, toward a more secure and less dangerous future.

JEFFREY D. SACHS, May 29, 2024, https://www.commondreams.org/opinion/nuclear-armageddon

The overriding job of any U.S. president is to keep the nation safe. In the nuclear age, that mainly means avoiding nuclear Armageddon. Joe Biden’s reckless and incompetent foreign policy is pushing us closer to annihilation. He joins a long and undistinguished list of presidents who have gambled with Armageddon, including his immediate predecessor and rival, Donald Trump.

Talk of nuclear war is currently everywhere. Leaders of NATO countries call for Russia’s defeat and even dismemberment, while telling us not to worry about Russia’s 6,000 nuclear warheads. Ukraine uses NATO-supplied missiles to knock out parts of Russia’s nuclear-attack early-warning system inside Russia. Russia, in the meantime, engages in nuclear drills near its border with Ukraine. U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken and NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg give the green light to Ukraine to use NATO weapons to hit Russian territory as an increasingly desperate and extremist Ukrainian regime sees fit.

These leaders neglect at our greatest peril the most basic lesson of the nuclear confrontation between the U.S. and Soviet Union in the Cuban Missile Crisis, as told by President John F. Kennedy, one of the few American presidents in the nuclear age to take our survival seriously. In the aftermath of the crisis, Kennedy told us, and his successors:

Above all, while defending our own vital interests, nuclear powers must avert those confrontations which bring an adversary to a choice of either a humiliating retreat or a nuclear war. To adopt that kind of course in the nuclear age would be evidence only of the bankruptcy of our policy—or of a collective death-wish for the world.

Yet this is exactly what Biden is doing today, carrying out a bankrupt and reckless policy.

Nuclear war can easily arise from an escalation of non-nuclear war, or by a hothead leader with access to nuclear arms deciding on a surprise first strike, or by a gross miscalculation. The last of these nearly occurred even after Kennedy and his Soviet counterpart Nikita Khrushchev had negotiated an end to the Cuban Missile Crisis, when a disabled Soviet submarine came within a hair’s breadth of launching a nuclear-tipped torpedo.

Participants in the Easter march at Büchel Air Base (Cochem-Zell district) in Germany walk along the outer fence of the military facility where U.S. nuclear weapons are said to be stored on April 1, 2024. The banner reads: “Give Peace A Chance.”

The Doomsday Clock was at 17 minutes to midnight when Clinton came to office, but just 9 minutes when he left it. Bush pushed the clock to just 5 minutes, Obama to 3 minutes, and Trump to a mere 100 seconds. Now Biden has taken the clock to 90 seconds.

Most presidents, and most Americans, have little idea how close to the abyss we are. The Bulletin of Atomic Scientists, which was founded in 1947 in part to help the world avoid nuclear annihilation, established the Doomsday Clock to help the public understand the gravity of the risks we face. National security experts adjust the clock depending how far or how close we are to “midnight,” meaning extinction. They put the clock today at just 90 seconds to midnight, the closest that it’s ever been in the nuclear age.
