Elon Musk listens to professional troll Andy Ngo and bans anarchist publisher from Twitter.

by  Jonny Diamond on Lithub.com and The Intercept on 1st Dec 2022 via thefreeonline

Things at Twitter are going just fine! Remember when master tunnel-builder and brand new owner of Twitter Elon Musk told us all he’d be “forming a content moderation council with widely diverse viewpoints…”?

Well, apparently by “widely diverse viewpoints” he just meant listening to alt right snowflake Andy Ngo’s random tweets.

According to this article at The Intercept, after a recent public exchange on Twitter, in which Ngo accused CrimethInc, an anarchist collective and sometime publisher, of operating “like ISIS” and “making propaganda & training material to radicalize militants toward violence,” Musk had their account suspended.

“Musk’s goal in acquiring Twitter had nothing to do with ‘free speech’ — it was a partisan move to silence opposition, paving the way for fascist violence,” CrimethInc said in a statement sent to The Intercept.

The collective also explained that, on the morning of the suspension, it received an email from Twitter saying the company had “received a complaint regarding your account,” but had “investigated the reported content and have found that it is not subject to removal under the Twitter Rules.”

The group said it had received no further emails from Twitter to explain or justify the ban. “This suggests that the decision to ban our account shortly thereafter was dictated by Musk himself, without regard for the Twitter Rules or any other protocol other than his own apparent allegiance to the far right.”

According to The Intercept, CrimethInc isn’t the only lefty account that’s been suspended for having a political stance Musk (and Ngo) find disagreeable.

As the Los Angeles City Councilmember Mike Bonin noted on Twitter, the suspended users include Chad Loder, an antifascist researcher whose open-source investigation of the U.S. Capitol riot led to the identification and arrest of a masked Proud Boy who attacked police officers. The account of video journalist Vishal Pratap Singh, who reports on far-right protests in Southern California, has also been suspended.

This is bad! As much as we all thought of pre-Musk Twitter as a “hellsite” it was still the closest thing many activists had to a true town square in which people could exchange ideas in real time.

That seems to be on the way out, unless you get your history from three-minute YouTube videos recorded in a half-finished basement.

Anyway, here are some CrimethInc books you should buy (the text below is from the CrimethInc website):

Days of War, Nights of Love

Your ticket to a world free of charge. Our flagship book, Days of War, Nights of Love, is the perfect starting place for anyone seeking a life of passionate revolt. It is a visionary manifesto, a daring challenge to everything we take for granted, a riotous explosive experiment of a book.

Expect Resistance

A hybrid field manual and tragic novel, Expect Resistance picks up where Days of War, Nights of Love leaves off, extending the analysis and recounting the adventures of those who staked everything on their wildest dreams. An epic of personal secession and collective resistance.

Recipes for Disaster: An Anarchist Cookbook

Recipes for Disaster is a tactical handbook for direct action, extensively illustrated with technical diagrams and firsthand accounts. It combines decades of hard-won knowledge about everything from collective organizing and antifascist action to squatting, graffiti, and sabotage.

Work: Capitalism . Economics . Resistance

After so much technological progress, why do we have to work more than ever before? How is it that the harder we work, the poorer we end up compared to our bosses? Starting from the vantage point of our daily lives, Work offers an overview of 21st century capitalism and how to fight it.

Menopause Rhapsody – Bohemian Rhapsody Parody Song for every Queen

on November 26, 2022 by agogo22 via thefreeonline

Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen in a parody song about Menopause – women will relate to the struggle!

A rhapsody is an epic, episodic, highly emotional work. To be Bohemian is to be socially unconventional. Isn’t that combination the perfect description for a woman frustrated by menopause?

For Queen fans, especially you older queens facing or who have already been through menopause, this parody song is for you!

I am a grumpy hot potato, yes I am!

Menopause Rhapsody lyrics

English

Menopause Rhapsody

Is this my new life?

Irritability

Shutting down inside

I can’t sleep and am so itchy

Got sweaty thighs

This is my demise, you see

I’m just a woman (oh)

Asking for sympathy (poor girl)

Because a hot flush comes

Memory goes

Mood is high

Then it’s low

Every day, more hair grows

Where I don’t want any to be

Poor me!

Mama, it’s menopause

No more children can be bred

Now my ovaries are dead

Mama, no, it’s not much fun

I once was hot

In quite a different way!

Drama! Ooooh

Don’t know if I’ll laugh or cry

I can’t remember my plans

For tomorrow

And my drive has all gone

My brain is feeling scattered

Too late, my prime has gone

Bones shrinking in my spine

Body’s aching all the time

Good night – no, I won’t sleep!

Just got to go

Gonna toss and turn and

Pee the whole night through!

Sauna – ooooh

(where did my fan go?)

I’m all cracked and dry

I can’t stand heat and

Summer time at all!

I am a grumpy hot potato

Yes, I am a hot flush,

You just shush

Go and open a window!

Thunderbolts and lightning

Don’t cross me, I’m frightening

See!

Just obey – oh!

All I say – oh

Do my way – oh

Or you’ll pay – oh!

Don’t delay, oh, don’t you know?

I’m gonna blow!

I’m just a poor girl with a hot body

(She’s just a poor girl, nauseous and clammy!)

(Just give her chocolate and wine – let her be!)

Magnesium for the bones

More pills for my hormones

This hot flush

(No! We will not let you go!

– Let me go!)

This headache

(We will not let you go!

– Let me go!)

This mood swing!

(We will not let you go!

– Let me go!

We will not let you go!

– Let me go!

Never, never, never, never

– Let me go!)

No, no, no, no, no, no, no!

Oh, menopausa, menopausa

Menopause, just let me go!

This hellish club turns all women

Into wild banshees

Banshees, banshees!

So you think you can stop age

And turn back time?

So you think that your

Fountain of youth won’t run dry?

Oh, ladies

Take it from me, poor ladies

It’s going to get you –

Your time will soon come:

Be prepared!

Ooh – oh yeah, oh yeah

My nerves are all shattered

‘ Always need to pee

Hairier and fatter

Menopause is battering me

At least no more “Aunt Flo”…

Thanks! ❤

Top oncologist: Cancer in patients exploding after COVID shots

The well-established link between the COVID-19 mRNA shots and blood clots, myocarditis, heart attacks and strokes is reason enough to stop the vaccine program, argues a London oncologist.

And further, the average age of death from COVID-19 in the United Kingdom is 82, which is higher than the age for all other causes, 81.

But there is another reason enough to halt the shots, wrote Dr. Angus Dalgleish, professor of Oncology at St. George’s University of London, in aletter to the British Medical Journal.

Being different, to save the world

  Posted on by Chiapas Support Committee… Leave a Comment via thefreeonline

Zapatista Women at the 1st International Gathering of Women Who Struggle, Caracol IV – Morelia.

By: Raúl Zibechi

All the efforts of the ruling class are focused on eliminating or flattening differences in the ways of life, in the daily practices of peoples, classes and individuals, with respect to the dominant culture. For this purpose, entire regions are militarized, genocides and exterminations of populations have been taking place for five centuries.

The forced evangelization promoted by the conquerors aimed to destroy the political and cultural autonomy of the native peoples, which was rooted in communal ways of life and diverse spiritualities but unyielding to the dispossession of nascent capitalism. It was not a question of religions, or of true or false gods, but that peoples should not continue to live in their own way, according to their customs.

The destruction of the English peasants’ way of life was key to the implementation and expansion of capitalism, as Karl Polanyi analyzes in The Great Transformation. For this, violence from above was employed, stripping the peasants of their communal lands to turn them into vagabonds who would end up as workers imprisoned in the satanic mills, key pieces of the industrial revolution.

The offensive against taverns and other workers’ spaces at the beginning of the 20th century sought to destroy the spaces where workers spent their free time to relate to each other in ways different from those imposed by capitalist logic, turning them also into territories of cultural autonomy and organization of their resistance, as James Scott explains in Domination and the Arts of Resistance.

We can go back to the days of slavery (when quilombos and palenques were spaces of freedom and revolt), or land in our days (when soccer stadiums, which were spaces differentiated from the working class, become mechanisms of accumulation by dispossession and financial speculation), to verify that the history of struggles is also that of the destruction and reproduction of differences of class, skin color, gender and sexual diversity.

The war suffered today by the native and black peoples of the entire continent, the peasants, women and youth who resist, is aimed at stripping them of their way of life and making them dependent on capital. To force us into service. To turn us into wage slaves, who for less than a minimum wage, dedicate our lives to lubricate capitalist accumulation.

‘We want a city where we can all breathe’ – a night out with Bristol’s SUV saboteurs 

by maxr0che at The Bristol Activist on November 30, 2022 Car Images: Simon Holliday via thefreeonline

Black and white photo of two people crouching at the tyres of an SUV.

Direct Action, Feature, Leave a comment

For months a small group of activists have targeted the large, polluting cars of the wealthy, deflating their tyres in the dead of night. With unparalleled access to the group, Max Roche explores what it means to be a Tyre Extinguisher

Lentil or mung bean? An obvious debate to be having on the streets of Clifton in the early hours of a rainy October morning. 

There are few signs of life around at this hour, save for the occasional drunk student and a small group of mask-wearing climate activists who call themselves the Tyre Extinguishers. There are no petrol bombs or sledge hammers here though, just a small Tupperware box of legumes and some printed leaflets. 

With the lentils distributed around the group, they set off to patrol the nearby streets in search of a particular prize – a sports utility vehicle (SUV). Amongst the architectural grandeur of Clifton, it doesn’t take long to locate what they’re looking for. 

Barely fifty metres up the road, a member of the group crouches down on the pavement, his hands darting fervently around the rim of a car wheel to locate the dust cap. Unscrewing it, he carefully places the lentil over the valve before re-tightening the cap, forcing the lentil into contact with the valve. A gentle hiss radiates out into the night and is soon smothered by the wind.
