Women should not cover their bodies for bathing. This is the new supposedly secular diktat
of some enlightened mayors and Valls, "to encourage living together." Concept fool because
otherwise live together ... what. ---- The Burkini in water, and the scarf in the air,
emit scents of dark radical Islamists and contaminate radicaliseraient bystanders nearby.
Hence the importance of prohibitions. ---- It is clear that point once more Muslim women -
whose presence on the beaches dressed went unnoticed until August 15, is saying how they
"disturb public order" - has the sole effect of reactivate racism and aggression against
women . ---- Meanwhile, unemployment rises, the temperature rises, poverty and despair
increased, policies are indifferent to the opinion (and life) of the people. But are
mobilizing to police clothing.
Relaunching the antisécuritaires struggles (the state of emergency still threatens us) and

He did not pass one months from the evacuation of three occupations in Thessaloniki,
coordinated attack cops, state, church, municipality and rectors, and complements the
puzzle against the occupation fascist attack with gas canisters to capture housing
refugees of emigrants " Notaras 26 "in the morning of 24 August. - This attack any random
or detached from the grim reality imposed on us, can not be described. - When the
government in cooperation with church rector authorities, municipality and police attack
squats, the discharging, where the orphanage destroy the building, condemn solidarity,
criminalizing thereby solidarity, lead and refugees in invisibility and attempt to break
the connection thereof with the locals, then wink at parakratos- fascists to prepare their
own attack.
Assault course fits in their absence. Bullying at 4 am a machine with 2 passengers stops
outside the squat, they break the glass, place gas canisters and gasoline richoun thus
causing much damage to the building and luck not trafmastistei a resident of the
occupation. Practice indicates that only so they can be confronted with the movement,
since there are nothing but a disgrace that can not xemytisei from the hole.
Knowing that we are in the ebb of the social outbursts and fighting the organized
struggle, in a time when social resistance drowned in the nets of SYRIZA bringing to the
surface a social peace that every day vomits injustice, poverty, obedience and poverty, we
do not forget that the struggle continues. The struggle against the state and capital.
Against modern totalitarianism.
And we say once again:
-State, priests, mayors, rectors, cops and fascists will find us in front of you.
-Lower The hands of the occupation, our partners and and refugees.
10, 100, 1000 squats against a world organized rot.
-Common Fight natives of emigrants and refugees for life and dignity.

Comrades, ---- Each year, the fascists of Golden Dawn, perform a "ritualistic" fiesta
close to our city in the region of Thermopylae, the statue of Leonidas. - This event
themselves, like their Imia in Athens are landmark events of the organization. -
Nevertheless, after a little research you can discover how this "custom" established the
German occupation troops. - All of the theatrical scene, the ancient uniforms, military
alignment of participants, torches and Nazi greetings, it is all the same and identical.
Not that fall from the clouds, and even the notations will always play a role and have a
deeper historical significance, possibly. ---- As genuine followers of Nazi misanthropy,
Greek neo-Nazis (not just talking about local fascists, but the leadership of Nazi that
organization), give this here to puke fascist and nationalist rhetoric of hate and
cowardly threats against refugees and immigrants.
Within walking distance from the assembly point of the fascists, the old tourist
buildings EOT is the HOT SPOT of the area, which houses currently 300-400 refugees of all
ages.
Few days ago (25/8) posted on their official site, how coming Saturday 3 September
at 19.30, the fascists of Golden Dawn will be again at Thermopylae.
As anarchists / s refuse to sit with folded arms and not let themselves refugees against

So we invite anyone / a supportive / s to support us in the presence of his / her.

Call Yekîtiya Ciwanên Rojava (Juvenile Rojava Union) ---- While capitalist modernity wants
to prolong his time emptying of content our universe, especially the minds of the people
under the yoke of oppression, to the point where minds do not recognize what is happening
to the environment, and the danger he brings to humanity and to life itself. Since the
creation of the Sumerian city-state and its continued development to the current
oppressive power structures, all the people who stood against nstro hand of capitalism
faced its annihilation. At all times, especially in the Middle East, the capitalist system
has been violating and destroying the natural laws. Moreover, it prevented the inhabitants
of the region a life of peace and stability.
But in the midst of this chaos someone lifted his head and proclaimed "Enough to
annihilate humanity and nature, no more violence," and began to struggle for the creation
of a new system based on life in peace among all people on the basis of freedom women and
the defense of nature. Who created the idea of this system and who stood up against the
annihilation of people and the interests of oppressive states, is the philosopher of the
people Abdullah Öcalan. But he was kidnapped and held under an international web of
different states on 15 February 1999. This plot put the desires of freedom of Middle
Eastern peoples in freedom of Öcalan. Since then Öcalan is imprisoned in Imrali¹ in prison.
Because the people of this region do not follow capitalism's dirty games created the
system of democratic nation to a common life and confederal. In the system of democratic
nation if d sociology of freedom and social justice to allow all people to live in
equality in an ethical and political society based on youth initiative, ecology and
freedom of women. As a result of democratic ideas is the revolution of Rojava and the
creation of the federal system in northern Syria. Where all the components of society are
participating and forming their own self-defense to resist the enemy of mankind, the
Islamic State.
But this system is not created in the interests of the oppressive powers. For this reason,
since the day April 5, 2015 was imposed total isolation Öcalan, following the AKP² the
decision not to continue the peace process and therefore seek a solution to the region's
peoples. The objective of this process, initiated by Öcalan is the creation of a
democratic future, not only for the Kurds and Turks, but for all peoples of the world.
We like Rojava youth that is self-organizing under the paradigm of Öcalan, we call upon
all people and democratic forces in the world, especially the youth, to take action and
pressure on governments for meetings with Öcalan continue, as well as information about
your situation, now that is threatened his life for the current tension in Turkey. Not
only because this total isolation is contrary to human rights and is an international
conspiracy, is absolut ely necessary that all democratic forces to fight for the freedom
of Öcalan.
The struggle for freedom of Öcalan is the struggle for freedom of the people!
Fight for freedom of Öcalan means fighting for the liberation of women!
Freedom for Öcalan means freedom for youth and their active role in society!

The story of the Cavan murders is one of male entitlement and violence, not mental
illness. ---- We can all agree that the recent murders by a man in Co. Cavan, whereby he
stabbed his wife and children to death before hanging himself, are horrific, disturbing,
and tragic. But it's clear we can't all agree beyond that point. ---- At first I ignored
this story because I didn't cop onto the political significance of it. I try to ignore
what I see as senseless tragedies that don't have much broader significance, like plane
crashes, regular oul' murders, natural disasters, because I see it as an unnecessary
emotional burden. But when I saw people making excuses for this brutal attack, and others
rightly pointing out what this all said about our society, I changed my tack.
It's about the power of framing a situation. There are people going around, in their
homes, in the pub, in comment sections on the internet, humanising this murderer, and
excusing his actions using the Mental Health magic wand we're used to having waved in
front of our faces whenever a white man commits what in another instance (different
melanin levels, country of origin, religion) would be denounced as the most clear-cut
barbarism and terrorism.
But worse than that, some people, including a friend of the murderer quoted in the papers,
are dispensing the same 'pillar of the community' platitudes we've seen applied to serial
killers and rapists, abusive partners, and all sorts of disgusting transgressions, for
what must be hundreds (or even thousands) of years, as if it was a meaningful thing to say.
I want to speak from personal experience, something that too many people will be able to
relate to. If there's something I've learned from my time in this human society, it's that
you can't trust whatever impression others have made on you, whether that's the perception
that they're a good, decent, person, or that they're happy and not dying on the inside. We
all trade on carefully constructed veneers, and people with something to hide are
naturally more deliberate in constructing theirs.
The salient example of this for me is my own father - a sadistic abuser who emotionally
tormented my nigh on saintly mother for nearly 3 decades. But as a master image-crafter he
managed to create a situation where she was villified, and he got away with it, leveraging
the same kind of 'pillar of the community' horseshit which most people (for understandable
reasons) believe. Isn't he such a helpful neighbour, doesn't he have such lofty political
opinions, isn't he so charming, isn't he such an involved father.
The same sick sexist story. For the record, these are all things that people thought about
the serial killer Ted Bundy. The point being you have no idea what happens behind your
back. Especially with the men that you know - that is a brutal fact of this society.
The mental health excuses are similarly hollow and demonstrative. The most spurious claim
put forward by some is that the man murdered his wife and children because he had a
psychotic episode.
This is presumably because these people cannot fathom the idea that a normal-seeming man
(from the outside) could do such a thing. A man who is, of course, immediately assumed to
be of good character, who isn't a black-clad ISIS militant screaming 'Allah hu akbar!' or
a dirty sneering eye-patch wearing convicted criminal.
In any case, the murders were clearly very pre-meditated, the man having attached a note
to the house's outside door warning visitors not to come in and to call 112. Another note
was left inside, the contents of which have not been released. These are not the
indicators of someone who suddenly snapped, lost their comprehension of ordinary reality,
and succumbed to psychotic rage. (Again from personal experience, I was fortunate enough
to have a psychotic episode, and I can't imagine doing things in the planned and
structured way he obviously did).
These are the indicators of someone who relatively soberly planned the execution of his
family. It says something worrying about our society that so many people find it hard to
believe this, and instantly reach for what is essentially a deus ex machina / magic
explanation.
But let's look more generally at the mental illness excuse. Why is this murderer's mental
illness a mitigating factor to the point where people actually have sympathy for him?
We have heard that he was depressed, he was stressed, his mortgage got him bogged down,
work was getting to him - regardless of the truth of these statements they are ways to
personalise rather than politicise this story, treating it as a kind of once-off freak
accident hinging on one man's personality rather than as an event which reflects our
damaged society.
The fact is that even if you're depressed, you have a choice in life. Maybe that sounds
harsh, but it's true. Do I have enough fingers to count the people I hold dear who have
been majorly depressed, stressed to the point of collapse, or wanted to kill themselves
(including myself)? I don't think so. But we managed not to murder our loved ones.
The key point here is that these murders are not the tragic outcome of an illness, but of
an ideology and culture. That ideology and culture is patriarchy and toxic masculinity.
The critical fact here was that this man thought he owned his wife and children to the
point that he felt entitled to kill them for his own reasons. They were HIS. No amount of
depression can necessarily make you think you can decide whether other people live or die.
That took a deeply sexist paternalistic attitude in this case.
I have seen people (almost entirely men) on the internet scoffing, becoming outraged, at
the mention of domestic violence in relation to this tragedy - despite it literally being
a case of a woman and her children being murdered in her home by her partner.
When I was chatting about this with my mother she said he was probably abusive, to be so
possessive as to take ownership of their lives. Maybe the wife threatened to leave him.
She knew these were just speculations, and we don't know, but why would these suggestions
seem to outlandish to some, considering the man murdered his family, considering we live
in a society where women are plagued by emotional and physical violence left, right, and
centre. But instead of talking about these issues, the media, and others, are discussing
the fine points of his supposed mental illness.
There's a general point of the highest importance here. When people do bad things, things
that hurt others, that ignore their interests, they feel justified. That often includes a
sense of being hard done by, down on your luck, feeling weak, having something missing.
This is how people who are not comic-book villains do great harm regardless.
If we as a society accept these excuses and let people off the hook for their abuse,
neglect, predation, and exploitation, we will reap a field of poison. It is imperative
that, with a complementary understanding of external factors, we each firmly place
responsibility for our actions with ourselves.
To be crystal clear, my aim is not to screech at troubled people carrying a heavy mental
burden. If anything, I'm an advocate for people with mental illness. But this kind of
black-and-white thinking doesn't help mentally ill people either - we don't benefit from
an analysis that treats us as spellbound vessels without agency. The reality is more complex.
Lastly, what does this hand-waving do for the potential victims of similar violence? For
the women and children at risk of being beaten up, or raped, or emotionally scarified, or
killed, how do they benefit from perpetuating the myth of the 'model citizen' who could
only do harm if possessed suddenly by evil spirits? Surely their only salvation can come
by shattering these myths and having an open and tough discussion of the ubiquitous
dangers of sexism and power.
My thoughts go out to the family and everyone affected. Every word here was written out of
love and concern for the victims and everyone like them.

All efforts must now be made to bring the unions into the struggle. This will be
difficult, though, due to the cowardly nature of the union bureaucracy. The message must
be got through to all unionists that racism is fatal to working class solidarity. ----
Despite a burst of publicity at its first appearance, Reclaim Australia (RA) has been
eclipsed by the certifiable fascists of the United Patriots Front (UPF). The UPF announced
themselves in May last year, when they attempted to march on Richmond Town Hall, but they
got a hiding. They have had similar experiences on repeated occasions in Melbourne, either
being blocked by anti-fascists or cowering behind masses of cops. Their mobilisations in
Bendigo, however, have been far more successful, each time outnumbering the anti-fascists
who came out to counter them.
This hasn't been all. Alarmingly, on 1 November the UPF visited the Melbourne Anarchist
Club and radio station 3CR, in unspoken but clear acts of intimidation. Then, on 26 June,
the UPF and the even more thuggish True Blue Crew decided to counter an anti-racist rally
in Coburg. To cut a long story short, the fascists eventually got another hiding, but not
before things nearly went the other way.
Meanwhile, overseas, fascist groups attack refugees in Greece, Italy, Germany and Sweden -
often with impunity. The Ku Klux Klan and other white supremacists rally in the United
States, inflicting grievous bodily harm on anti-fascists who come out against them. The
rise of Fascism is world-wide.
Fascists are not, however, merely thugs with swastika tattoos and convictions for violent
assault. There are many open fascist parties in parliaments in Europe, including Golden
Dawn in Greece and Jobbik in Hungary. The Front National in France and the Freedom Party
of Austria, though less extreme and denying their fascist heritage, are on the verge of
taking over government. Finally, though Donald Trump in the United States is not a
fascist, his extreme Right populism is providing fascists an umbrella under which to organise.
Back here in Australia, we see the return of Pauline Hanson, who has come out on top in
the struggle to be the mouthpiece of the extreme right. Having been granted uncontested
space to spew her racist bile on morning television, her party has reaped a swag of Senate
seats in the recent election. Like Trump, she isn't a fascist, but her party is infested
with them and they will likely grow in influence while she's publicly engaged in her
infamous xenophobia.
It is a burning necessity that all working class organisations mobilise against the far
right, both populist and fascist, before the menace grows even larger. The UPF is the most
powerful fascist organisation in Australia for 80 years, while Hanson has the most
successful extreme right parliamentary presence ever. Both tap into a deep well of
Islamophobia nourished by years of media and government demonisation of Muslims. Their
claim that the jihadis and their crimes are representative of all Muslims is a dangerous lie.
The return of Hanson is both a threat and an opportunity. Her policies are deadly dangers,
but by seeking to scapegoat both Muslims and Asians simultaneously, she makes herself more
opponents and renders herself easier to rebut in arguments with workers who might be
attracted to some of her ideas.
All efforts must now be made to bring the unions into the struggle. This will be
difficult, though, due to the cowardly nature of the union bureaucracy. The message must
be got through to all unionists that racism is fatal to working class solidarity.
