The writing is on the wall... Let the revolt spread!





The action will likely pick up in Greece today with multiple events planned. Occupations continue to grow. And many of us around the world who have been inspired by what has happened in Greece hope that the spirit of that insurrection will grow and spread.

In Italy there was a huge strike with students targeting banks and Greek consulates. In The USA the Northeastern Anarchist Network has added to calls for solidarity actions which continue all over the country and the world...

What's Next in Greece?

attacking cops in athens

"Comrades in all the world, if you want to express your solidarity, which we need a lot keep on the fights in your countries and make them stronger. They are really afraid for us, believe us you can not imagine, here now we can see it clearly. Resurrection, like we read in the books really exists, we can assure you , we live it... It is Beautiful! In one night “reality”, “normality” died... It will happen to your countries soon. Make plans , Be ready"
- some anarchists from Athens

As Greece enters nearly a week straight of rioting it is still unclear what will happen? Will the Revolt spread as the media seem to fear? Students seem to be continuing the fight, riots continued again today, a Town Hall in suburban Athens was taken over by residents who referred to the current events as a "Civil War".

Here is a recent description of events on the ground from Greek Anarchists.

Solidarity actions continue to spread in europe, and in the US as well.

NYC: Solidarity with Alexis and the Greek Rioters






About 30 New Yorkers rallied in front of the Greek consulate yesterday to show their solidarity with Alexis , and the rioters throughout Greece. There was a large police presence, including a mobile command center, Undercover Officers and TARU (surveillance) officers. The protesters chanted "Cops Pigs Murders!" in Greek and English, as well as "Fire and flames to the state, their repression fuels our hate!" before dispersing.


The Consulate was shut down due to a early morning attack also in solidarity with Alexis. The windows of the consulate were smashed and the message "Alexi was here" and Anarchy symbols left on the walls. The incompetent NYPD theorize that this act was committed by the infamous "bicycle bomber" despite the fact that the M.O. was rather different, a brick was used and spray painted messages were left.

La víctima fué trasladada al Hospital Evangelismos pero ya se encontraba muerta.

En una respuesta espontánea, miles de personas se congregaron en el centro de las principales ciudades griegas. En Atenas, la gente se congregó afuera del hospital Evangelismos para evitar que la policía entrara al mismo. Poco después las policía arremetió contra los manifestantes en las calles de Exarchia arrestando a una persona. La noche en Atenas se convirtió en una asamblea espontánea en la Universidad Politécnica, dónde se tomaron tres edificios, disturbios en el centro de la ciudad, incluyendo ataques contra el departamento de policía, tiendas y bancos. Los disturbios duraron hasta el amanecer. La policía enfrentó a los manifestantes con gas lacrimógeno.

On Saturday 6th of December at around 10pm, two Greek policemen were in patrol in a central street by Exarchia square, in the center of Athens. They had a verbal argument with some young people who were there. During the argument, one of the cops pulled his gun and shot a 16-year-old twice. The victim was moved to Evangelismos Hospital to be found dead.

In a spontaneous response, thousands of people gathered in the centers of most of Greek cities. In Athens, people gathered outside Evangelismos Hospital, in order to prevent the cops from entering the building. A little later the riot police attacked in a street in Exarchia resulting to one person being arrested. The evening in Athens evolved with a spontaneous assembly in the Polytechnic University, a lot of riots in the whole center of Athens, including attacks against police departments and banks, until the early hours of the next morning. Meanwhile, a spontaneous demonstration took place, but it was confronted by the riot police with tear gas. Three University buildings have been occupied.

Rallies, demonstrations, direct actions and riots took place all around the country. In Thessaloniki, a big spontaneous demonstration took place, while 2 Police Departments were attacked, several bank departments were burnt and Egnatia str., the main street, was blocked by burning trash bins for hours. Reports have been also posted about actions in Yannena, Iraklio, Chania, Komotini, Mitilini, Xanthi, Serres, Sparta, Alexandroupolis and Volos.

Demonstrations in all cities of Greece have been announced for tomorrow afternoon, starting at 1pm.

According to the mainstream media, two Ministers offered their resignation, but it was not accepted by the Prime Minister. The two policemen have already been detained and accused for murder, while they insist that the bullet was shot on the air to keep the young men away, but it was reverted by a metal label towards the stomach of the victim.

Argentina: Train tracks blocked for Freddy and Marcelo


Freddy Fuentevilla and Marcelo Villaroel are long time chilean 'militants'. Marcelo was a political prisoner at the age of 19. In prison Marcelo became a member of the group 'Kamina Libre' a revolutionary anti authoritarian group made up of ex-marxist leninist political prisoners. Upon his release he became involved with revolutionary projects again and started the political punk band D*Linkr.

In mid march Freddy and Marcelo were arrested in Junin, Argentina. They are being accused of participating in a bank robbery in Chile where a police officer was killed. These charges are based largely on Freddy and Marcelo's past history in armed struggle groups and little to do with the actual situation. Since 17th of November they have been on hunger strike. The following action in Argentina is the most recent action in solidarity with the prisoners.


solidarity chilean style: day of action for freddy and marcelo, santiago


Buenos Aires - In the framework of the hunger strike that has been realized by Freddy Fuentevilla and Marcelo Villaroel this passed November 26, 2008, anarchist companions in solidarity blocked the tracks that join with Villa Rosa (Belgrano line) in the proximity of the Villa de Mayo station. The companions set a fire on the tracks at the same time as hanging a banner with the words "FREEDOM TO FREDDY AND MARCELO, NO TO THE EXTRADITION (A)".

The intention of this action was not to make a demand of the State because we know that whatever name it has (chilean, argentine, etc) it's the State that's responsible for persecuting and attacking persons who are intent on changing the established order.

The intention is to spread an idea of conscious and active solidarity as the most powerful weapon we have.

We shouldn't expect anybody to call us to demonstrate or take action in some pre-determined form but we have to be coherent with our ideas and act in the moments and locations we believe appropriate .

NO TO THE EXTRADITION OF FREDDY AND MARCELLO!!!
FREEDOM TO ALL THE PRISONERS!!!
FOR THE DESTRUCTION OF ALL THAT MAKES US SLAVES!!!

Corte de vías por Freddy y Marcelo

Buenos Aires.- En el marco de la huelga de hambre que estan realizando freddy fuentevilla y marcelo villaroel, el pasado 26/11 compañeros anarquistas se solidarizaron provocando el corte de las vias que unen retiro con villa rosa (linea belgrano), en las proximidades de la estacion VILLA DE MAYO. La accion se produjo cuando los compañeros generaron un incendio sobre la via, al mismo tiempo que colgaban una bandera con la consigna “LIBERTAD A FREDDY Y MARCELO, NO A LA EXPULSION (A)”.

La intencion de esta accion no es la de hacerle un pedido al estado porque sabemos que sea cual sea el nombre que este tenga (chileno, argentino, etc) es responsable de la persecucion y del ataque a las personas q intentan cambiar el orden establecido.

La intencion es difundir la idea de que la solidaridad conciente y activa es el arma mas poderosa que tenemos.

No debemos esperar que nadie nos convoque a manifestarnos o accionar de alguna forma determinada, sino que tenemos que ser coherentes con nuestras ideas y actuar en el momento y lugar que creamos conveniente.

NO A LA EXPULSION DE FREDDY Y MARCELO!!!
LIBERTAD A TODXS LXS PRESXS!!!
POR LA DESTRUCCION DE TODO LO QUE NOS HACE ESCLAVXS!!!

A Year Later Carlos Vive! / Un año después de su asesinato Carlos Vive!



A year after 16 year old anti fascist Carlos Palomino was stabbed and killed by a Nazi on his way to an antifa demonstration thousands (maybe up to 10,000) people filled the streets of Madrid in his memory to show their opposition to fascism and to prove that Carlos' death has invigorated the Anti-Fascist fight in Madrid.
---------------------------

Un año después del asesinato de joven antifascista, Carlos Palomino, un gran marcha salio a las calles de Madrid en solidaridad con esta compañero caido en la lucha antifascista.
¨La enorme manifestación de ayer (quizás 10.000 personas) nos permite constatar dos cosas: una, que el antifascismo madrileño está más fuerte que nunca, y otra, que el poder, a la vista de esto, no se va a quedar de brazos cruzados.

Desde arriba se ve a un nuevo "actor" en la escena política madrileña, que no para de crecer: el movimiento antifascista. A pesar de que los poderosos intentaron por diversos medios frenarlo, llegando incluso hasta el asesinato, eso ha provocado más unión y más crecimiento.¨

Anarchists and Autonomists Arrested in French "Anti-Terror" sweep



Early on the morning of November 11th French anti terror police raided houses in 3 french towns arresting 20 individuals for the sabotage of high speed rail lines in France. The arrested are alleged by authorities to be part of an "anarchist-autonomous gang" responsible for "violent rhetoric" and rioting. One of the towns raided was the town of Tarnac which in recent years had become a sort of "libertarian" community made up of young anarchists and autonomists from all over France. According to Le Monde one of the arrested is supposed to have been one of the authors of an influential piece called "The Insurrection to Come".

Although the press gives varying numbers it is believed that 8-10 of the individuals caught up in these raids are still being held and will face terror charges.

whoever they vote for...




whoever wins the election, we lose even if it is Obama.

The realm of politics lies within the social war waged against us by those in power daily, not in the election spectacle that happens every four years. Let us build our own power and create a real change that we would all like to see.

Indigenous Groups in Mass March to Cali, Colombia



Radical Indigenous groups from the southern Colombian region of Cauca have been protesting since October 12th of this year against the Uribe Government's continued attacks upon them and against neo liberal economic programs that have put their homes in jeopardy as multi nationals move in to exploit the region. Thousands of marchers are making their way to the large Colombian city of Cali blocking the Pan American Highway as they go. Other indigenous and campesinos have been spontaneously joining the march and clashing with poice.

Two demonstrators have been shot and killed by the ESMAD (riot police), President Uribe originally denied these reports until videos of ESMAD firing M-16s at protesters surfaced and he was forced to admit he lied. Protesters have also captured infiltrators and given them 'indigenous justice'

Students Strike Again in Chile!



Once again students in Chile are rebelling against the for profit public education system in Chile, seizing schools throughout the country and battling police in the streets. Like similar protests in 2006 repression seems to make the movement grow stronger.

El Director General de los Carabineros de Chile, Jose Alejandro Bernales, murío en un accidente en Panama.Los medíos en Chile le llaman ahora, 'El General del Pueblo' ignorando sucomplicidad en la dictadura de Pinochet y el represíon de movimientos sociales en la 'democracia'. El artista SubVerso ha hecho esta canción para que la verdadera historia de esta facho salir a la luz.

The head of the Chilean National Police force (the Carabineros), Jose Alejandro Bernales, was killed when his plane crashed last week in Panama. In Chile the mainstream media and government have casted this man as a saint and named him "the General of the People". The truth is Gen. Bernales was a man whose rise to power in the Police coincided with the rise to power of Fascist Dictator General Augusto Pinochet. Bernales' reign of terror continued until his death with massive repression against social movements as his signature style. Radical Hip Hop Artist SubVerso gives an alternate history of Bernales' career in this video.

What to Expect From the Conventions...



What to Expect From the Conventions:
If you plan to attend the demonstrations at the Democratic or Republican National Conventions, you should already know what you intend to accomplish there and how you will go about it. If, for example, you intend to blockade a street, you should already be in a committed affinity group, have picked out a location, and be hammering out the details. Things never go as planned, but preparation helps get things off on the right foot. If you haven’t done any of this yet, there’s still time, but get a move on—one thing that has been proven not to work at mass mobilizations is for everyone to show up hoping everyone else has done the work.

Doubtless, there will be some—perhaps ten, perhaps ten thousand—for whom the conventions are a life-changing experience, and others for whom they will be non-events. We get out of life what we put in. But one has to prioritize—so how important are these conventions, anyway? Read More.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Que puedes esperar de las convenciones politicas?
Esta verano los Democratas y Los Republicanos tienen sus juntas cuando deciden quien les van a apoyar como candidato por presidente. Y como años pasados sus juntas será un punto de conflicto. Hay muchas colectivos organizando para disruptar las convenciones y mostrar el poder de nuestra resistencia.
