*We wondered where our wages went*
*We wasted most by paying rent*
*Since, we’ve learnt to change our lot*
*Now we’re living in a squat*
Two weeks ago we occupied the Aylesbury estate. The first block we took was violently evicted and we opened a new block, one the council had smashed up to prevent us from occupying. We are doing it up and plan to stay.
Here in our occupied center we have about 26 chickens, pretty fat and healthy, and they give us maybe 12 eggs a day, depending on the season. Sometimes they just go on strike.
They run free but are usually locked up at night in case of wild animals getting in. The yard is too small so we feed them kitchen scraps, old recycled bread and market veg, they love it! Sometimes they get a little grain, you can still find GMO-free here in Spain. We all take care of them so sometimes they get fed twice! Continue reading “Chickens have Rights to a Good Clucking Life”

Si aceptamos que el capitalismo depredador nos lleva hacia el desastre financiero y ambiental necesitamos una alternativa vigorosa y atractiva que la gente puede elegir al empeorar las cosas. Una solución posible puede ser el dinero local “stamp-scrip ‘ (freemoney/freigeld), que poco a poco pierde su valor si no se gasta, por lo que la gente le gasta lo antes posible y se expande la economía local. No sirve de nada el acaparamiento de capital en este esquema.
El dinero ‘Stamp-scrip’ se utilizó con éxito asombroso en Austria durante la gran depresión, donde, por ejemplo, la ciudad a la quiebra de Worgl se transformó en sólo 14 meses, (luego el sistema fue prohibido por el estado y los bancos), pero menos bien en los Estados Unidos, donde fue organizado en una manera diferente.

If we accept that our predator capitalism is rushing into financial and environmental disaster we need an equally vigorous and attractive alternative that people can turn to as things get worse.
One possibility is local ‘stamp-scrip’ (freemoney), which gradually loses its value if not spent, so people spend it immediately and the local economy booms. There’s no use hoarding capital in this scheme.

ivan illichThe operation of a peer-matching network would be simple. The user would identify himself by name and address and describe the activity for which he sought a peer. A computer would send him back the names and addresses of all those who had inserted the same description. It is amazing that such a simple utility has never been used on a broad scale for publicly valued activity.

(…update: after various threats and deadlines by the ECB, Germany, IMF, etc. have passed, and with Syriza openly threatening to get a loan from Russia and China, leaked rumours of a a deal and partial Greek victory are in the air, causing the euro to rise briefly. We hope Syriza will NOT back down and sell out, Greece wants and needs a revolution!… …….thefreeonline )
With a sane (and apparently honest/legitimate) government achieving election in Greece, the past six years of European “bail-out” fraud is about to be fully exposed. Indeed, the recent history of Greece, alone, is little more than a road-map of fraud, conclusively illustrated by a concise summation of events.
a) In 2009 and early 2010, the ECB “bailed-out” Greece on several occasions – and then it immediately went bankrupt, defaulting on 75% of its national debt.
