13.03.17: Via Enough Is Enough: In the early morning hours Greek police evicted the Villa Zografou and The Hospital squat on Alkiviadou in Athens, Greece. About 200 people were detained. We publish a statement from Khora Social Centre about the evictions:

This morning at 5am, 2 squats in Athens, 1 housing refugees, were evicted by the police.
Around 200 people are currently being held in police stations, with no access to a lawyer. One person we are in contact with was told she doesn’t have the right to see a lawyer, telling her she “isn’t being detained, just ‘held back’ before being referred to a camp.”
Those with papers have been separated from those without papers, and we don’t yet know what will happen to them.
A policeman we spoke to outside the police station this morning admitted to following orders that he knows go against the refugees’ rights.

Fran and Monica are FREE .. Affinity and Solidarity against Victimization and Authority

pandoraBy  Anonymous Contributor   These words arrived with a delay due to the restrictive communications of the Spanish extermination centers. On March 7th, 2017 Mónica and Francisco were finally released to Chile, where they were greeted with a great deal of media and repressive threats. Finally, they have returned to the street with their dignity intact.

Affinity and Solidarity against victimization and authority

In the struggle to break with the establishment we look for and create relationship forms that are contrary to imposition and authority. Forms that help us feel comfortable in order to develop autonomously in our proposals and acts of daily confrontation.

With this feeling we understand affinity represents the most suitable way for anarchist relations and that it’s not the fruit of empty slogans repeated until satiation, but the result of practices and shared visions that have helped generate long lasting bonds of passionate friendship and intimacy, that go beyond the simple bonds of just friends….continues below

How US nuclear force modernization is undermining strategic stability: The burst-height compensating super-fuze

The US nuclear forces modernization program has been portrayed to the public as an effort to ensure the reliability and safety of warheads in the US nuclear arsenal, rather than to enhance their military capabilities. In reality, however, that program has implemented revolutionary new technologies that will vastly increase the targeting capability of the US ballistic missile arsenal. This increase in capability is astonishing—boosting the overall killing power of existing US ballistic missile forces by a factor of roughly three—and it creates exactly what one would expect to see, if a nuclear-armed state were planning to have the capacity to fight and win a nuclear war by disarming enemies with a surprise first strike.

No To The Sabal Trail & Dakota Access Pipelines!

For over 500 years, unspeakable acts of violence and exploitation have been committed against the Indigenous Native peoples of America. In the name of profit and “development”, resource rich lands have been stolen and continue to be laid waste to fuel a profoundly sick civilization founded on greed and lies.

We here at Faslane Peace Camp would like to express our solidarity with all the water protectors, land defenders, saboteurs, protesters and families and friends involved in these struggles – your struggle is our struggle and we stand with you in spirit as the Native Nations march on DC.

#NoDAPL

“The ‘Dakota Access’ Pipeline (DAPL) is a $3.8B, 1,100 mile fracked-oil pipeline currently under construction from the Bakken shale fields of North Dakota to Peoria, Illinois. DAPL is slated to cross Lakota Treaty Territory at the Standing Rock…

Athens, Greece: Statement from Anarchist Collective Rouvikonas on the occupation of Speedex HQ

Insurrection News's avatarInsurrection News

On the 14th of February Panagiotis Vrettaros, father of two children, died in a road accident. He was not on this job part-time or in order to add some extra money to his main income. In contrast, he had been a professional driver for 16 consecutive years in his latest company alone. His death was not an accident or a ”bad time”. His death was a corporate murder that entails a certain motive and moral instigators. The motive is nothing else than the maximization of profits of his employers, Fourlis and Sfakianakis, and the indirect moral instigators are those managers and executives whose salary increase is analogous to the increase of the productivity of low-paid workers.

To put it simply: unpaid overtime, complete lack of protective equipment (helmet, raincoats, boots, gloves, biker jackets etc), complete disregard for weather conditions, criminally incomplete bike (and other vehicle) maintenance. These are the pieces…
