This statement was issued and endorsed by an international coordination of anarchist organizations. It is the first statement issued by this grouping that Black Rose / Rosa Negra has signed on to.Examples of previous statements can be found here.
The earthquakes of 6 February and their aftershocks have devastated entire regions. The death toll is in the tens of thousands and continues to rise. Access to water, electricity, gas, food and other basic necessities is reduced or non-existent for millions of people.
Our comrades in anarchist organisations, grassroots unions and popular organisations are working together and are directly involved in the relief efforts.
We are now launching a fundraising drive to support the work of these organisations.
In February of 2008, Kosovo’s parliament – dominated by Albanian separatists – declared the province’s independence from Serbia. Belgrade objected to the move, but it the new “state” was recognized the very next day by the United States, Britain, France, Türkiye, and Albania. More than 50 countries followed by the end of that year.
As of now, almost 100 UN member states have recognized Kosovo’s sovereignty. However, this figure is in constant flux, as some countries have withdrawn their support due to Belgrade’s diplomatic efforts. Nevertheless, Pristina continues to claim that 117 countries support its “independence.”
In fact, more than half of the countries belonging to the UN do not recognize Kosovo’s independence. Among these are China, India, most of the post-Soviet countries, as well as several EU members, namely Greece, Spain, Cyprus, Romania, and Slovakia.
Russia is one of the main opponents of Kosovo’s declaration of independence and has been consistent about the consequences for the world order. Upon closer examination, it turns out that the vast majority of global states are dealing with some form of separatist issues, ranging from significant to very minor.
A Balkan Patchwork Quilt
The disputed status of Kosovo is only the latest instance of separatism resulting in the emergence of a new state-like entity in the Balkans. The disintegration of the region has been dubbed ‘Balkanization’, and deservedly so.
At the end of the last century, most of the Balkans were incorporated into a united country called Yugoslavia. Today, there are seven independent countries in its place, but this is by no means where it might end.
…Being stalwart guardians of our microbiomes is of utmost importance if we are making the health of our future generations, which is perhaps the most fundamental evolutionary imperative we have, a priority.
Because our microflora consists of a selective array of commensal microorganisms that ultimately originated from the environment–the air we breathe, the soil we interact with, and the water and food that we ingest–our mission must encompass a wider breadth and a more far-reaching scope if we are to save our microbiomes from certain demise”
But this strictly material layer of nutritional analysis barely touches the surface when it comes to appreciating the informational complexity of food.
FOOD AS INFORMATION: Living Water, Epigenetic Pathways, and the Wisdom of the Ancestral Diet
Food delivers powerful healing properties that scientists have spent decades analyzing in detail.
Take an apple, for example. This amazing fruit is brimming with pharmacologically (or better yet, nutrigenomically) active compounds, most notably ascorbic acid, also known as vitamin C. Another compound it contains is phlorizin, over a dozen polyphenols, potent antioxidants concentrated in the skin of the apple and known to elicit multitargeted effects that reduce the impact of high blood sugar in animal models.1
Apples contain structured water molecules with a hexagonal crystalline configuration (H302) that’s halfway between liquid and crystal. Named “the fourth phase of water” by Washington University professor Dr. Gerald Pollack, the micro-clustering pattern of structured water is capable of holding and transmitting both energy and information.2
In fact, all raw plant, animal, fungal, and bacterial cells contain this structured water, each with a configuration as unique as a snowflake, assuming it has not been desiccated and denatured through cooking, processing, or the gamma irradiation-based food preservation process known as “cold pasteurization.” “Raw” is a key word here.
Raw fruit juice has a high concentration of naturally structured water, which accounts for a good portion of the anecdotal and scientific evidence regarding its healing benefits. Processed juice, on the other hand, is said to contain dys-information (dys- is a word-forming element meaning “bad, ill; hard, difficult; abnormal, imperfect,”) that may misdirect the expression of our genes and harm our physiology.3
Virtually all water in uncooked and unprocessed plant food possesses beneficial genetic-expression-modifying information. This is a profound departure from looking at water as a fundamentally material, inert bystander in biological systems, as has been the case for centuries. Additionally, within the biological tissue of which they are composed, all foods contain the noncoding RNA molecules known as microRNAs, which affect the expression of the majority of genes in our bodies and stimulate biological pathways conducive to our species’s health and wellness. Packaged in exosomes, which are roughly the size of a virus (~65 nanometers), microRNAs survive digestion, whereupon they penetrate systemic circulation in the body and affect the structure and function of all our tissues.
On the night of February 13, several NATO websites were subjected to a massive cyberattack. Including websites of the headquarters of the special operations forces, the US Ramstein military base in Germany and other resources.
NATO cybersecurity experts have launched an investigation into the incident.
On Monday, Alliance Secretary General Stoltenberg claimed that access to most of the sites were restored, but security operations continued.
He assured that classified information was allegedly not affected and the attack had no consequences for NATO missions and operations.
The Western media blamed the hacker group Killnet, allegedly linked to Russia, for being behind the attack. This group has repeatedly stopped the services of European airports and other important state resources and hacked tens of thousands of accounts belonging to FBI employees.
On January 25, hackers of Anonymous, Infinity and KillNet groups put the websites of the Ministry of Defense and the German government out of service. The websites belonging to the airports of Hamburg, Dresden and Dusseldorf were also among the targets. The attack was likely launched in response to the decision of German authorities to transfer Leopard tanks to Ukraine.
On January 19, hackers claimed that they had successfully put the website of the Ministry of Finance of the Czech Republic, as well as its subdomain and open data portal, out of work. The website of the Czech machine tool manufacturer TAJMAC-ZPS was also targeted.
Earlier, the hacker group reported hacking the system of the Tax Service of the United States. In October, Killnet reported an attack on Bulgarian state websites, in November, the websites of Austrian energy companies were targeted. In June, another attack hit Lithuanian websites after the country blocked transit to Kaliningrad.
Attacks on the military structures of Ukraine continue as well, from which more and more information is being leaked.
On February 14, Russian hackers from the Solntsepek group published a fresh list of more than 100 Ukrainian soldiers who mainly work in the field of electronic warfare. Their personal data was leaked.
Last week, a group known as the “Joker DPR” exposed the Minister of Defense of Ukraine Alexey Reznikov, who is stealing salaries of Ukrainian soldiers. An order was leaked to the network, confirming that the real salaries received by the servicemen are significantly less than the amounts indicated on paper.
Earlier, the Joker DPR leaked documents proving that Reznikov steals money intended for the repair of military equipment, fuel and lubricants, food for soldiers, he makes money on dead and missing soldiers and so on.
After a major corruption scandal, some Kiev officials demanded Reznikov’s resignation, but he still holds the post of Minister of Defense of Ukraine.
Call for protests against the NATO ‘Security Conference’ in Munich
Negotiating Instead of Shooting – Arms Reduction Instead of an Arms Race
Demonstration on Saturday, 18 February 2023
We are mobilizing against the so-called ‘Security Conference’ (“SiKo”), which will be held in Munich from the 17th to the 19th of February, 2023.
Heads of state and government and politicians will be meeting there with top military officers and representatives of major corporations and the arms industry. The NATO countries call the tune there.
What they are concerned about is securing the strategic dominance of Western capitalist countries and their corporations, not the security of people, here or elsewhere in the world.
The main purpose of the Security Conference is to agree on a joint strategy of the NATO countries against their rivals Russia and China — but above all, to promote and justify the increased arming of NATO.
The 20th anniversary of the illegal, unprovoked US-UK war of aggression on Iraq comes at an awkward time for a UK press currently suppressing the truth of the illegal, provoked Russian invasion of Ukraine. It’s particularly awkward for our fearless watchdogs to recall the great anti-war march of 15 February 2003 when, in 2023, they are busy stifling dissent protesting America’s horrific proxy war in Ukraine.
