‘OXI!’: Greek solidarity protesters interrupt Merkel’s speech (VIDEO)
July 04, 2015 20:35
A speech by German Chancellor Angela Merkel was interrupted by a group anti-austerity protestors, who chanted ‘No’ in Greek in support of a negative vote in Greece’s Sunday’s referendum on whether to accept the harsh bailout demands of its creditors.
The incident occurred when Merkel was just about to begin her speech at an event in Berlin dedicated to her Christian Democratic Union Party’s 70th anniversary.
The demonstrators chanted “OXI,” which means “No” in Greek, and displayed small signs with the same message.
Security officers were quick to remove the protestors…

Nuclear Confrontation with Russia: Has Washington Gone Looney Tunes?
The US is playing a dangerous game of nuclear brinkmanship. Robert Scher, undersecretary of defense, has even floated the idea of a nuclear first strike against Russia. “A second option could ‘look at how we could go about and actually attack that missile where it is in Russia,’ Scher said. Yes, that’s how crazy the warlords of Washington are: in their demented calculus, nuclear war is just another “option.”

A Classic Case of Greenwashing
Silence of the Pandas
Wilfred Huisman (2011)
Film Review
Greenwashing (def) – a form of spin in which green PR or green marketing is deceptively used to promote the perception that an organization’s products, aims or policies are environmentally friendly.
Silence of the Pandas is about the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) – the world’s largest conservation organization – and their open collaboration with Monsanto, palm oil manufacturers and other multinational corporations that are systematically destroying wildlife habit.
WWF solicits millions in donations every year based on the image it projects of protecting endangered animals, such as the panda and the tiger. In reality, the WWF, under the leadership of the British royal family and other members of the British aristocracy, forms lucrative “partnerships” with corporations seeking to greenwash their image.
Through these toxic partnerships, WWF is facilitating, rather than preventing, the destruction of rainforests and wildlife habitat. It also actively…

Collectives and Groups opposing Machismo in Liberated Zones: Counter-Communiqué
original en castellano abajo.
Due to events that have been occurring in the Iberian Occupied Social Centres for some time we feel morally obliged to write this informative text. We are fed up with sexist and condescending, complicity and hetero speeches. We believe that feminism is a cornerstone on which to base the Commons and everyday politics and in occupied social centers, and that sexism is not just the ego of a group of people who refuse to recognize its dynamic in their ‘machirulo’ speeches but also a structural system that we need to question, analyze and oppose every day. (note: ‘machirulo in this context seems like ´laddish male bonding that relishes machismo’) These facts only serve to confuse people and do a disservice to the world of punk, hardcore and music linked to social movements.
Let’s speak clearly: We believe ( Occupied Self-Managed Social Centres), assemblies, collective groups and comrades should take a position against gender violence from thousands of possible fronts, and that includes exposing socially for public knowledge and collective scrutiny such ‘ anarkopunkarras’ groups as Penetrazión Sorpressa (note. ‘Surprise Penetration’.. refers to rape while being deniable).

Ignorance is Bliss; Until You Are Incinerated in a Nuclear Exchange

| Nuclear War, brought to you by neocon idiots and corporate media. |
June 27, 2015 “Information Clearing House” – The purpose of corporate “news” media is to dull your mind and insure you are sufficiently dumbed down and distracted from the real issues, by feeding you pointless irrelevant social trivia. As long as you are distracted, you are unable to organize, get involved, or seek change, which is exactly what corporate media wants, and is exactly where they have you. Don’t think so? Answer the following questions:
We have been at war in Afghanistan for over 13 years; why? What are we fighting for? Who are we fighting? Where is Afghanistan and why can’t most Americans even find it on a map after 13 years of war?
How about Iraq? Most Americans cannot find Iraq on a world map, can you? How long have we been…
