Wind Turbines Survive Earthquake

It’d be very difficult to exaggerate the scale of damage caused by the Japanese trifecta disaster of earthquake-tsunami-nuclear power plant crisis, but in the middle of it all there’s one small bright spot: Japan’s wind turbines have survived it all unscathed, with operators being asked to step up operations where possible to help with electricity shortfalls.

El día del joven combatiente -‘ Fighting Youth Day’

http://tintanegraanartchistblog.blogspot.com/

El día del joven combatiente es la denominación de la fecha en que se recuerda el asesinato de los hermanos Rafael y Eduardo Vergara Toledo, acaecida el 29 de marzo de 1985 en un encuentro contra Carabineros, durante la dictadura del General Augusto Pinochet. Esta fecha no es una efeméride oficial y es recordada cada 29 de marzo en Chile principalmente por grupos de extrema izquierda y anarquistas.

Islandia revolución silenciosa

Islandia revolución silenciosa

SIN NOTICIAS DE ISLANDIA:

Si alguien cree que no hay censura en la actualidad, que me diga si así como se ha sabido todo lo que pasa en Egipto, porque los periódicos no han dicho nada de nada sobre lo que pasa en Islandia :

En Islandia, el pueblo ha hecho dimitir a un gobierno al completo, se nacionalizaron los principales bancos, se decidió no pagar la deuda que estos han creado con Gran Bretaña y Holanda a causa de su mala política financiera y se acaba de crear una asamblea popular para reescribir su constitución.

Y todo ello de forma pacífica. Toda una revolución contra el poder que nos ha conducido hasta la crisis actual.

Squat news from Amsterdam (Holland)

EVICTION WAVE HITS AMSTERDAM: SQUATTERS CHOOSE ATTACK INSTEAD OF DEFENSE.

This Tuesday the 22nd of March, the city of Amsterdam witnessed a huge eviction-wave.

It was the first big series of evictions after the new anti-squat law in Holland. The formerly quite tolerant attitude in Holland towards squatting has been replaced by a zero-tolerance approach to anyone taking housing rights into their own hands.

Instead of evicting squatted houses one by one, the Amsterdam police has a tradition of evicting in so-called “eviction waves”. An eviction wave generally consists of a high number of riot
