In future we will all pay mega rents for for the shittiest housing possible! Its the law of Capitalism. Vulture Funds are using the Pandemic to Pillage the Global Economy
Before the pandemic, private equity had amassed $2.5 trillion – more than the GDP of Italy – in ‘dry powder,’ waiting for distressed assets to plunder. Covid-19 provided them with the perfect opportunity.
There’s even a new app with a tagline that promises that you, too, can ‘profit like a landlord from just £1 with no effort’.
On February 12, 2021, as has been the trend during recent Fridays, riots broke out in the center of Santiago. Who said that the revolt was dead?
In addition to the large number of flattened cars and attacks on the police, this time was added the complete destruction of a police vehicle after emptying its occupants.
Unfortunately the day culminated with 3 new prisoners that swelled the number of comrades behind bars during the revolt. Víctor and Ricardo were detained after drones observed hooded men in white overalls attacking the police with incendiary devices. Both were accused of these actions and arrested in San Diego with Alameda and Metro Santa Lucia, when they were already leaving the sector.
After ambushing a police van in the Bellavista sector, the rioters begin to attack it. A hooded man approaches and throws Molotov cocktails at the vacant van and then quickly leaves the place, the action is closely recorded by a plainclothes policeman who follows him at a ridiculous distance without ceasing to record it.
Nicolas is detained in Antonia López de Bello with Bombero Núñez by the police, accusing him of the attack on the police van and attempted homicide.
Chasing the pursuers
Nicolás was detained, like a large part of the prisoners of the revolt: A plainclothes policeman was recording the riots very closely, he focused on those who carry or throw Molotov cocktails to record them and thus obtain the evidence, and then, of course follow him at a certain distance until coordinating with other policemen who arrest him.
This February 12 was no exception when a hooded man threw a Molotov cocktail at the police van, a subject approached to record the action, almost tripping, and then continued to record it when the hooded man left the sector.
The press widely reported the images captured by the plainclothes policeman where the hooded man is observed attacking the police van, but in an oversight typical of journalistic imbecility, they also released larger views of the attack on the van where the infiltrated police and their movements can be clearly seen.
There have been multiple criticisms of the use of cameras in the riots, we fully share them, but we also know that many times police officers can carry hidden cameras that are quite difficult to detect.
The debate and effort is about how to take care of ourselves among those of us in the street without falling into paranoia, but also to be able to detect those who closely follow comrades when they take any action.
This time the comrades were not arrested because of the photos on social networks (as has happened on other occasions) but because of the recording made by police officers within the street fighting. With some distance and attention, the police movement can be evident, the important thing is the ability to stop and confront it.
Solidarity with all the prisoners of the revolt!
Prisoners to the streets, streets for the insurrection!

3 nuevos prisioneros de la revuelta por bombas molotov y ataque a furgón policial + Bonus Track
El 12 de febrero del 2021, como ha sido la tónica durante los últimos viernes los disturbios estallan en pleno centro de Santiago ¿Quién dijo que la revuelta estaba muerta? Al gran número de carros pinchados y ataques a la policía, esta vez se sumó la completa destrucción de un vehículo policial tras hacer arrancar a sus ocupantes.
Lamentablemente la jornada culmino con 3 nuevos prisioneros que engrosan el número de compañerxs tras las rejas durante la revuelta. Víctor y Ricardo, fueron detenidos luego de que drones observaran a encapuchados con overoles blancos atacando con artefactos incendiarios a la policía. Ambos fueron acusados por esas acciones y detenidos en San Diego con Alameda y Metro Santa Lucia, cuando ya se alejaban del sector.
Tras emboscar a un carro policial por el sector de Bellavista, lxs revoltosxs comienzan a atacarlo. Un encapuchado se aproxima y arroja una bomba molotov a la cabina desocupada para luego alejarse rápidamente del lugar, la acción es grabada de cerca por un policía de civil quien lo sigue a una distancia ridícula sin dejar de grabarlo. Nicolas es detenido en Antonia López de Bello con Bombero Núñez por parte de la policía acusandolo del ataque al furgón policial y homicidio frustrado.
Persiguiendo a los perseguidores
La torpeza acostumbrada de policías, periodistas y su afán de mostrar que ningún ataque es posible de realizar sin los ojos del Estado han hecho que se develaran ellos mismos.
Nicolás fue detenido al igual que gran parte de lxs prisionerxs de la revuelta: Un policía de civil se encontraba grabando muy de cerca los disturbios, se centra en quienes llevan o lancen bombas molotov para grabarlos y así obtener la prueba, y luego, claro está seguirlo a cierta distancia hasta coordinar con otros policías quienes lo detienen.
No fue la excepción este 12 de febrero cuando un encapuchado lanza una bomba molotov al furgón policial, un sujeto se acerca a grabar la acción casi tropezándose, y luego lo sigue grabando cuando el encapuchado se aleja del sector.
Por la prensa ampliamente fueron divulgadas las imágenes capturadas por el policía de civil donde se observa al encapuchado atacando el furgón policial, pero en un descuido propio de la imbecilidad periodística también divulgaron planos más amplios del ataque al furgón donde se consigue ver claramente al policía infiltrado y sus movimientos.
Múltiples han sido las críticas al uso de cámaras en los disturbios, las compartimos plenamente, pero también sabemos que muchas veces policías pueden llevar cámaras ocultas bastante difíciles de detectar.
El debate y esfuerzo es en como cuidarnos entre quienes estamos en la calle sin caer en la paranoia, pero también poder detectar a quienes siguen de cerca a compañerxs cuando realicen alguna acción.
Estos compañeros no fueron detenidos por el registro de redes sociales (como si ha ocurrido en otras ocasiones) sino por la grabación realizada por policías dentro de la lucha callejera.
Con algo de distancia y atención puede resultar evidente el movimiento policial, lo importante es la capacidad que se tenga para para frenarlo y enfrentarlo.
¡Solidaridad con todxs lxs prisionerxs de la revuelta!
¡Presxs a la calle, calles para la insurrección!

Greece. Patras. The lockdown and the curfew imposed by the state, as well as the unprecedented conditions created by the outbreak of the pandemic and the spread of the covid19 virus, highlighted in every way the criminal, parasitic and anti-social nature of the state; the state doesn’t care about human life or the vast social majority and is interested only in maximizing the profits of the bosses.
The only thing that matters for the oppressors is the rescue of the economy and the return to status of capitalist regularity.
Legislation that decriminalizes the possession of all illegal drugs in Oregon is now in effect.
Approved by voters in November, the measure says the state will fine offenders and offer addiction treatment instead of prison time. By addressing drug use as a public health issue rather than a crime, this historic change takes “a sledgehammer to the war on drugs,” says Kassandra Frederique, executive director of the Drug Policy Alliance.
Drug users need help, not punishment, she says, yet drug possession is the most common reason for arrest in the U.S. This legislation disrupts the relationship between getting help and getting in trouble.
“As someone who was a social worker, I recognize that people make different choices when they want to make those choices,” she says. “Punishing people has never been an effective deterrent when it’s come to complex human behavior.”
People dealing with addiction have limited treatment options in jail or prison, she says, whereas remaining part of their community helps folks maintain dignity and sovereignty to make better choices.
Under Oregon’s new legislation, decriminalizing all drugs includes substances such as heroin, cocaine and meth. Opponents argue that by removing a major disincentive to do drugs, the law could fuel more drug use.
With more Americans dying from drug overdoses than ever before, Frederique says treatment and community resources need to be funded. Decriminalizing drugs sends a message to Oregonians that help is available, she says.
“There’s been so much cognitive dissonance about what the message is. Is it tough love or is it love?” she says. “And what I say is love is not supposed to hurt.”
And Oregon isn’t alone: Vermont, Colorado, Washington, California and Virginia are also looking into decriminalizing drugs.
“I think more people are looking at this than people realize because everyone recognizes that we cannot arrest our way out of this problem,” she says. “So let’s stop investing in that and let’s actually start investing in community well-being.”

Tan bon punt la columna de protestants ha arribat a l’altura del carrer de Bosch, la tensió entre Mossos d’Esquadra i els manifestants s’ha incrementat fins al punt que hi ha hagut barricades, crema de contenidors i vehicles i llançament d’objectes contundents contra la policia. Els agents de la policia catalana hi han respost disparant bales de foam. Enmig dels incidents, dues persones han resultat ferides, una a l’ull.
The arrest of rapper Pablo Hasél at the University of Lleida this Tuesday morning has led to the call for numerous demonstrations in protest against his imprisonment. In Barcelona, the rally will take place this afternoon at 7 pm in Plaça de Lesseps.
Apart from Barcelona, there are mobilizations called at the same time in many Catalan cities, such as Tarragona, Girona, Sabadell, Lleida, Tortosa and Vic. Also in Madrid there is a protest called at the Puerta del Sol.
