La dernière aux anarchistes par Zo d’Axa (1900)

DÉSARMEMENT

1900 ! Exposition, buffet…, tout le monde désarme ! Les voyageurs pour la ligne de tir changent de train. Et ce sont des trains de plaisir qui filent vers la Hollande avec un chargement d’ambassadeurs, de diplomates et de vieux guerriers se rendant, selon le vœu du tsar, à la conférence contre la Guerre. Le siècle s’inaugurera par un hymne de fraternité. Assez de luttes, plus de tueries. Dans le concert européen, un empereur entre tous puissant a voulu pousser sa chanson :

en fr – Vancouver Mining Conference Shut Down!

On May 24, 2012 the Vancouver Branch of the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy, and Petroleum hosted a luncheon meeting at the Four Season’s Hotel in Vancouver focusing on Compliance Energy Corp’s proposed Raven Coal Mine. The site for this proposed mine is in unceded Pentlach Territory on Vancouver Island, also known as the Comox Valley.The lemon meringue was barely finished with keynote speaker and Compliance Energy Corp. CEO John Tapics mentioning that there was social opposition to Raven Coal, when he and the 100 person conference were abruptly interrupted by a half dozen people who unleashed decaying herring upon them. A chaotic stench and nauseating shower of fermented fish engulfed the room. Herring are only one of the species that will be negatively effected by the mining development. (Contrary to mass media reports it was herring, not excrement)

Simultaneously, coal tumbled onto the ground. The wondrous blend created by insurgent passion was too overwhelming for the industrial capital bosses to handle. People yelled unyielding opposition while pamphlets were strewn in the air to assert the point, “It has Begun! No Compliance! No Compromise! No Coal!”

Those attending had no choice but to step in the mix of herring and coal as they quickly exited, the conference being effectively shut down. The coal, the herring, what a sight, what a smell: never to be whipped, chained, or owned into submission. A great force used to crash the daydreams and sick fantasies of industrial development.

No one was captured or injured. The conference and the hotel were shut down.

This action is a small contribution to the ongoing struggle against the Raven Coal Mine. We are through with dialogue. We do not except the false temptation of economic development. We will not poison ourselves, each other or the earth to survive!

Oberlandesgericht lehnt Haftentlassung von Sonja Suder ab

Das Oberlandesgericht Frankfurt hat am 16.Mai 2012 entschieden, dass Sonja Suder nicht aus der Haft entlassen wird. Das Gesetz schreibt vor, dass eine Untersuchungshaft über sechs Monate hinaus nicht andauern darf, es sei denn die Hauptverhandlung hat schon begonnen, oder es liegt ein wichtiger Grund vor, der den Beginn des Prozesses verhindert hat. Sonja Suder ist nun über acht Monate in Haft, das Schwurgericht hat noch nicht einmal entschieden, ob die Anklage zugelassen wird, einen Termin für einen Prozessbeginn gibt es schon gar nicht. Welcher „wichtige“ Grund hat also nach Ansicht des Oberlandesgerichts einen Prozess bisher verhindert?

Day of Action in Support of John Bowden – 11th June 2012

Imprisoned since 1980, (and in fact for most of his life before that), John Bowden has been a thorn in the side of the English and Scottish prison systems for three decades. John has paid a heavy price for being a staunch defender of prisoners’ rights and a committed opponent of injustice, spending years in the most brutal conditions, and suffering numerous physical assaults and treatment that has frequently amounted to torture.

en es – Chile: Summary of the bombs case trial April 30 to May 18

from solidaridadporlxspresxs, transl waronsociety:

The defense lawyers begin their evidence.

Obviously more quickly and concisely, the experts and witnesses began to testify on behalf of the accused. In the first place there was the comrade Francisco Solar‘s defense, where they ended by discrediting the much feared and at the same time insignificant and imprecise “traces of explosive,” then came the comrade Mónica Caballero‘s defense bringing a resident of the squatted house la Crota denying all the fantasies that they said about “safe houses” or places strictly restricted for the fabrication and planning of explosive devices.

Montreal, QC: We don’t give a fuck about the special law!

from sabotagemedia:

While since Friday, May 18 demos are held in several cities of the province, like Quebec City, Sherbrooke and Trois-Rivières, in Montreal, tens of thousands of people are confronting the Police State defying the new “special law” Bill 78 which requires, among other things, that any gathering of 50 or more people to provide its trajectory to the cops 8h ahead and modifies it at their request with fines that can reach thousands of dollars.

en es – Report Back From 5/24 Juvenile Detention Center Noise Demo

 

On Thursday, May 24th, a group of approximately 70 people participated in a noise-demo outside of the King County Juvenile Detention Center. Prior to this, a public meeting was held down the street from the detention center. The meeting was a panel discussion on permanently closing the jail and an open forum for ideas regarding strategy and intention. Nearly 200 people attended this widely publicized event and while they were gathered together, over 20 cruisers were mobilized to surround the meeting hall in an attempt to intimidate the organizers and future participants.
