Greece: rare video of Nazi war crimes backs reparations demand
The above video, extracted from film archives and only just made available by the Greek Ministry of Defence, shows footage of the consequences, including malnutrition, of Nazi war crimes committed against Greeks during World War 2. The voice-over states that more than 300,000 citizens died from starvation in Athens alone. 13% of the Greek population was lost during the war, mainly as a result of starvation and massacres (over 1,700 villages were destroyed in reprisals – see below for details). The release of the video coincides with the latest demand by the Syriza-led Greek Government for war reparations from Germany – see below for an update.
The video also explains that the agreement of 14. March 1942 foresaw that Greece paid to its occupiers 1.5 billion drachmas per month, a total of 3.5 billion USD, according to the Dollar value of 1938. The current value of that enforced loan is…

London: Siege of Aylesbury estate security thugs against St James Square ANAL squat
The squatter crew Autonomous Nation of Anarchist Libertarians (A.N.A.L.) have occupied a number of high profile buildings in central London in recent weeks.
These have included the former Institute of Directors (corporate fatcat club) HQ, Admiralty Arch (state power icon due to be turned into hotel), and now 24 St James’ Square, a flash office building on one of London’s most expensive squares, empty for ten years.
They have been getting big picture splashes in corporate media rags like the Evening Standard and Daily Mail.
On Friday evening (10 April) the St James’ Sq squat came under siege by a mini-army of security guards. The heavies used similar tactics to those seen recently on the Aylesbury Estate and other squat clashes recently: unable to retake the building, they forcibly block entrances and exits to lock down the occupation, keeping out supporters and supplies.
This tactic is not usually successful, as many times our side can mobilise bigger numbers to come down and break the siege. Several dozen people responded to a call for back-up from ANAL on Friday evening, and the security thugs were forced to back down, after a few scuffles.
Police also came along, and in this case didn’t give the security any support, but instead warned them for not displaying their SIA (Security Industry Authority) registration badges, as her majesty’s law demands.
A number of the security guards present on Friday are regulars from Southwark Council’s security operation at the Aylesbury Estate. As a matter of course they do not wear any company insignia or registration numbers. They have been repeatedly violent and offensive to occupiers, estate residents and passers by.
If you have any further information on these characters and their employers, please share it. Email to rabble(at)autistici.org, and/or to the Aylesbury Estate occupiers at aylesbury(at)riseup.net. Or you can contact ANAL via their facebook page, where there are some photos.

Explicación del Anarquismo Municipal: La Alternativa Práctica de Rojava
La municipalización de la Economía
por Janet Biehl.. traducción ..The Free
A medida que la revolución Rojava continúa, la naturaleza de su economía ha sido muy discutido. Como he escrito anteriormente, Rojava aspira a una economía social basada en las cooperativas. En las últimas semanas, varias personas me han preguntado por las ideas de Murray Bookchin sobre la economía: ¿cuáles son los aspectos económicos del municipalismo libertario? He creado un resumen de su pensamiento aquí, sobre la base de los recursos enumerados al final de este artículo. -Janet Biehl
Anarquía en Rojava: Una revolución libertaria en el Medio Oriente desde subMedia.tv en Vimeo.
En una economía capitalista, los medios de producción, la industria y al igual que la tierra, las materias primas y acabadas, la riqueza financiera se concentran en manos privadas. La alternativa es una economía social, en el que la propiedad de dichos bienes, en todo o en parte, se desplaza a la sociedad en su conjunto…..

Capitalist Arms Market. The Spreading Tentacles of Hell
Why the HELL are the US Saudi clients bombing Yemen? 
Why are the US ‘expediting arms deliveries’ to blast one side in a civil conflict?
We don’t have to look too far on Internet to find sites accusing the US and its client states of arming Islamic State and Al Qaeda, of selling arms to all sides, of promoting horrific chaos and spreading civil and intervention wars in Yemen, Syria, Iraq, Lebanon, Gaza, Ukraine, Libya, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Somalia, etc
Now for example we see The Nusra Front (Al Quaeda), Syrian State forces, Iranian militias, and Kurdish anarchists, Jordan, Israel and The US Air Force , etc all fighting Islamic State which is financed by Saudi US clients.. and all using American arms. What an Arms Market!
The US economy is dependent on its gigantic armaments industry, and like other big nuclear powers is immune to International Law due to its UN veto ‘rights’. Continue reading “Capitalist Arms Market. The Spreading Tentacles of Hell”
