actualización.. desalojo parado …… update… eviction stopped!
Centro Social Ocupado Autogestionado (CSOA) La Traba llevaba meses convocando a vecinos y activistas a evitar el desalojo del espacio. El continuado goteo de apoyos desde ayer a las 22.30h., ha hecho que cuando hoy se ha personado la comisión judicial, a las 12.00h., hubiera en el centro cerca de 300 personas. Así, la secretaria judicial y la procuradora, que iban acompañadas de un representante de la propiedad, del responsable de la Unidad Judicial de Arganzuela y de dos agentes de la policía municipal, han tomado nota, levantado acta y pospuesto el desalojo.

from Anarchist Black Cross (Cruz Negra Anarquista) with thanks
Last 11th of July registered the houses and arrested three people who are in the NO TAV fight in Italy. Two were arrested in Milan and another one in Lecce.
The TAV is an European project which consist on the creation of a high speed line from Lisbon to Kiev. It is in 1995 when the people from Val di Susa (Italy) start an important fight in opposition to its construction. In 2008, the fight is radicalised due to the militarization of the valley and the extension of the movement among other cities in Italy. In the 9th of December 2013, Chiara, Claudio and Niccollò are imprisioned in Turin and Mattia in Milan, accusing them of participating in an action against the construction of the TAV in the 13th May 2013 night. These four people are arrested under high security as they are considered terrorist.

Another Silent Spring?..George Monbiot on Ecocide Chemicals
Neonicotinoids appear to have devastating effects
across the natural world: we need a global moratorium.
By George Monbiot… reblogged with thanks!
Here’s our choice. We wait and see whether a class of powerful pesticides, made by Bayer and Syngenta, is indeed pushing entire ecosystems to oblivion, or we suspend their use while proper trials are conducted. The natural world versus two chemical companies: how hard can this be? Continue reading “Another Silent Spring?..George Monbiot on Ecocide Chemicals”
Dolly Parton, the most Influential Ad for Feminism
Dolly Parton – “A radical in rhinestones”
By Helen Morales
When Dolly Parton played at the Glastonbury Festival last month she won rave reviews. However, the media focus was not just on her exquisite singing (or alleged miming) and fabulous costumes, but also turned to feminism.
Lily Allen discussed feminism with Dolly in an interview for The Radio Times, Krissi Murison and myself debated whether Dolly is a feminist with Jenni Murray on BBC Radio 4’s Woman’s Hour, and articles in The Guardian, The Telegraph, and The Times also honed in on the subject.

Noam Chomsky vs. US Govt. Terrorism:| ‘The Sledgehammer Worldview’
July 10, 2014 · by
The front page of The New York Times on June 26 featured a photo of women mourning a murdered Iraqi.
He is one of the innumerable victims of the ISIS (Islamic State in Iraq and Syria) campaign in which the Iraqi army, armed and trained by the U.S. for many years, quickly melted away, abandoning much of Iraq to a few thousand militants, hardly a new experience in imperial history.

Right above the picture is the newspaper’s famous motto: “All the News That’s Fit to Print.”
There is a crucial omission. The front page should display the words of the Nuremberg judgment of prominent Nazis – words that must be repeated until they penetrate general consciousness: Aggression is “the supreme international crime differing only from other war crimes in that it contains within itself the accumulated evil of the whole.”

Nuevo Video: LLiquimuni, la amenaza del petróleo
The company YPFB PetroAndina 2014 scheduled for drilling the first well in the block Lliquimuni in a mountainous area of the Bolivian Amazon. Communal Lands of Origin Mosetén in Amazonia North of La Paz (Bolivia) are particularly affected and already in 2009 they moved to halt seismic exploration activities.

La compañía YPFB PetroAndina ha programado para 2014 la perforación del primer pozo en el bloque LLiquimuni, en una serranía de la Amazonía boliviana. El Territorio Comunitario de Orígen Mosetén en la Amazonía del Norte de La Paz (Bolivia) se ve especialmente afectado y ya en 2009 se movilizó para detener las actividades de exploración sísmica. El pozo Lliquimuni siembra dudas por los elevados costes para construir los caminos de acceso, los impactos ambientales y las vagas expectativas de encontrar grandes reservas.

First Nations’ cancer linked to Tar Sands’ toxins in wild food: study
Tar Sands in northern Alberta, where Native band councils work with industry and benefit from the toxic destruction of their environment.
Deeply frustrated by provincial denials of health concerns, two First Nations commissioned their own study using out-of-province university researchers to examine oil sands pollutants in their foods.
by Mychaylo Prystupa, Vancouver Observer,July 8th, 2014
Two northern Alberta First Nations downstream of massive oil sands smoke plumes and tailing ponds released a human health study Monday, implicating the growth of the industry to many serious Aboriginal health concerns, including cancer.
The worry? Oil sands pollution is contaminating their wild food.
