On March 13, 2017, tried the three-member Court of Appeal of Thessaloniki, after the
postponement of the trial in June 2016, the 21 fighters resisting residents of villages in
NE Halkidiki, accused of arson worksite gold mining company HELLAS GOLD (subsidiary
ELDORADO GOLD and Bobola group), held on the night of February 17, 2013 in Rust. ---- The
trial is part of an enormous repressive company has unleashed the state opposite to its
long, massive and militant resistance to the destructive designs of adventurers that
transform the primeval forest of rusted open mining gold mine, polluting the land, air and
water wider area, wiping out the nature and destroying the possibility of a decent life of
thousands of people living in the villages of Halkidiki.
Thus, particularly since March 2012, where salaried bullies of the company with the
assistance of police forces brutally attacked competitors residents in cartilage Tree area
injuring several and destroying race outpost in the woods Skouries to date is an ongoing
repressive undertaking promotes criminalization and criminalization any resistance
expression and includes: the activation of the "anti" terrorist law and massive
persecution struggling residents as members of "criminal organization". Custody four
fighters for the arson of the company's site in Rust with nonexistent data (both of whom
remained in prison Diavaton for six months and the other two for three) .Ti prosecution
tens struggling residents with felony categories and hundreds of others with
plimmelimatikes . Dozens of arrests - fighters abducted. The ripping of genetic material
(DNA) from whole village populations. The widespread use of telephone tapping. Police
blockades and occupation of entire villages and towns, such as the invasion of numerous
army MAT - EKAM city of Ierissos Thursday, March 7, 2013. The brutal attacks with tear gas
and beatings against demonstrators even when students and the elderly, which have caused
numerous baritone injuries. The propaganda campaign of lies, disinformation, isolation,
and terrorize the struggling residents. The restatement of the "ends" theory focusing this
time in the match in NE Halkidiki, and the fascist doctrine of inspiration for "law and
order" as the pillars of the ideological attack of the state and promoted by the
mainstream media.
This vast repressive operation is experiment and preamble suppression of any social
struggle at a time when the state attempts to impose on society a permanent state of
emergency structuring modern totalitarianism for complete subordination of society to the
requirements of the state and the bosses. At a time when the Greek state and capital
plunder of natural resources, privatization and control of public free space and the
hardening of exploitation and oppression terms of society in conditions of deep systemic
crisis, as integral aspects of state and capitalist restructuring, viewed as hypothesis
"national interest" and attempted to impose in any way and with any vehicle ideology of
growth that appears as "one way out of the crisis", not only in Halkidiki but throughout
the national territory. The current government (SYRIZA / ANEL) - who last summer signed a
loan agreement on 3-mnimonio-, receiving social consensus for the continuation of
political restructuring, based primarily on the cheap trade and hope in trying to
kapilefthei and assimilate social and class struggles in recent years, stepped up in these
races to disarm, to maintain social peace in conditions of intense social de-legitimation
of the political system.
The basic ideological proposition is none other than accepting the brutality of the state
and capitalism -arkei wearing the remnant of a democratic prosopeiou- with concomitant
threat to the oppressed for the unfolding of the same barbarity, without the pretext of
democratic masks the which humiliated and constantly assail. Today, attempts to impose
alongside new measures (eg insurance, tax), signed a few months ago, the definitive
extinction of life on Mount Kakkavos in NE Halkidiki (the institutional adoption of open
mine gold), as in the Acheloos valley in South. Pindos (with accredited Y / The dam
Messochora) and in many other areas are added daily to the long list of HRADF
privatization. While the social tolerance of this government seems to be running
constantly, as not only can not stand the illusions sown for landscaping of the state and
capitalism, but it becomes more and more apparent the prospect of an even worst for plebs
survival.
At a time when the state and capitalist barbarism attempts to dispel the lives of the
workers, the unemployed, the poor and plebeians of society, at a time when no government,
party, parliament and mediating mechanism can not promise only subjugation and
impoverishment, and we need to develop the communities in the cities and villages, the
operating areas, in neighborhoods, in schools and colleges, self-organized struggle and
solidarity structures and to keep open the paths of struggle for the defense of the
natural world.
This is the time when some and-demand games must be connected to permanent and stable
employment, access to social goods, housing, healthcare, education, to defend labor and
social rights, for the protection of nature, the total and topical social and political
demand to overthrow power world and libertarian transformation of society.
For our part we express our solidarity with the 21 fighters inhabitants of Halkidiki
accused of arson worksite HELLAS GOLD, and all those who are persecuted for defending race
of nature and the area of villages and as the June 2016 so and now, we call on the
solidarity rally in courts of Thessaloniki on 13 March.
We join our voices with all those who struggle from below and with dignity shouting that "
applicable to this race will not be none himself. On June 9 not tried only 21 fighters on
trial all. Tried the whole society struggling for its existence. The support of these
people, like the victory, is the only way. " [Committees Chalkidiki and Thessaloniki

On February 25 in New Philadelphia organized fans Melissanidis attacked the occupied space
"Struga" and physical aggression companions. For days remain outside the self space,
preventing its operation, as shadowy squad mandated to impose the region fear and silence.
---- In the area of New Philadelphia implemented a plan which is a continuation of a
comprehensive policy that seeks the violent acceptance of commercialization and
privatization of public spaces with huge benefits for the economic elites, control of
society by the fear imposed by State and parastatal forces and eventually transforming
into a labor camp. As the state - capitalist system is in total decay, attempting to
extend alonontas social base, recruiting through the ranks of the oppressed, those who are
willing to kanivalisoun their neighbor on behalf of state and capitalist interests.
The imposition of the most extreme forms of exploitation and oppression marked the
transformation of the social base in survival arena. Fear of unemployment and squalid
conditions in the dungeons of waged slavery, deepening of repression and control,
diffusion of individualism and social cannibalism and the enhanced role of small and large
mafias are part of the same attack . Attack a system to maintain the absurd imposition of
minimum weight of many uses all means and all available forces to continue to play the rot.
The attack on "Struga" can not simply be seen as part of terrorization for the
unconditional cession of the field, the land fillet and grove in Melissanidis. It results
in the conversion of New Philadelphia in an area controlled by the private army of the
shipowner. The youth of the region should "adapt" to the new reality by working either as
slaves for companies that will "seize" the construction of the field or as hangers-gang
Melissanidis.
The suffocating control of large areas of the city through their conversion to estate
magnates and mobsters who maintain private armies already been tested in Piraeus (where
the stadium "Karaiskaki" assigned equally scandalous manner to that of N. PHILADELPHIA a
public limited company, while the only journalist who "dared" then talk about it admitted
murderous attack with four stab wounds), where a cop patchwork, thugs, chrysafgiton,
parliamentarians and a private army of fans, has decisively contributed to the imposition
of depoliticisation and converting the erstwhile red by region races manor staff of the
current president-owner Marinakis.
The full apoikoiopoiisis operation of public space by the state and capital through
entanglement state, parastatal and mobsters also applied to St. Panteleimon area where the
fascists of Golden Dawn, the torturers of the local Police Department and squads of riot
police had set up a scheme where migrants, activists and residents were under the constant
threat of violence. The mafia activities ( "protections" in nightclubs, trafficking)
undertook jointly chrysafgites cops and the part with the "wages" for the neo-Nazi
hangers-on of the regime esmou range from drug trafficking to the security guards at the
weekly markets in the region.
In Exarchia, local narkomafia went so far as to attack with knives in anarchist militants.
It had a hard fight to curb the presence of a flagship for the field movement. A race that
exposed social state strategy and was fighting against a locally expressed aspect of
feoudalopoiisis enterprise of public space by the state and capital. Resistance existence
in the plans of the state and capital, the confrontation with social cannibalism and
mafias is why today Exarchia are central to the slander of gkaimpeliskon of SMEs , which
are preparing a future repressive undertaking so that did not achieve the Mafiosi - the
disappearance of the race through the conversion of Exarchia in their own "backyard" - to
achieve direct state violence.
The common objective of state aggression, the capitalists, the parastatal, small and large
mafias, amid an explosion of decay of the state and the capitalist system is the kinematic
resistors. Why restrain onslaught in the public space of an authoritarian patchwork
seeking dispersion of fear, which seeks to impose violence on the streets and squares. It
is vital for each kinematic space for each resisting wherever located, continue to
massively given the political battles that leave open the scope for the existence and the
unfolding of social and class resistances . Political battles should aim at maximum social
and class rallying against the imposition of state and capitalist darkness.
The world of power reserves more control, more repression, more exploitation and fear.
Opposite to stand the race communities to organize social and class fronts and our
political presence for the overthrow of the political and economic elite designs.
In irreversible decay of the state and the capitalist world, the dead ends, the policy and
the value of the bankruptcy to oppose collective resistance, the emancipation of the
oppressed, the only living social perspective: The world of Anarchy and Libertarian
Communism .

Today in Derry, the Ireland Section of the Industrial Workers of the World held the first
in what's to be a series of public talks on the history and current activity of the
militant workers union. Organised by local members and supporters, the meeting was
addressed by IWW Ireland regional organiser who began this afternoons event with a
rendition of Joe Hill. The historical folk song tells the story of how a fellow Wobblie
organiser was first imprisoned then executed of his workplace agitation in North America.
---- A spokesperson for today's event stated "Today's gathering in Derry was to give
people a general insight into the ideas and politics behind the Industrial Workers of the
World. The speaker covered the history of IWW as an international labor union that was
founded in 1905 in Chicago, Illinois touching on critical periods for our class since
then, the different prominent figures involved of which, many of whom would have been from
these shores.
"Likewise todays event looked closely at the different guiding principles and achievements
of the IWW to date, but more importantly the need for our class both within the workplace
and at community level to take a stand against the corruption and arrogance of the bosses
and capitalism alike. For us there is little difference as to what our class face here
today, north and south and what it has had to face at the beginning of the last century
when the IWW first emerged. The remedy for the challenges that we face today undoubtedly
needs to be workplace and community self defence, agitation and organisation. The motto of
Industrial Workers of the World is 'an injury to one - is an injury to all' that is why
meetings like this today are taking place with branches forming across the country.
Today's gathering was an important first step"
The Industrial Workers of the World are currently organising in Ireland and at present
have members and supporters in towns and cities such Dublin, Belfast, Cork, Derry, Newry,
Armagh, Monaghan, Galway amongst other areas. If you would like to get involved in your

As part of International Women's Day this year organized a series of anti-capitalist and
feminist collectives event called Stop: Den female solidarity . The name refers to an
international strike associated with industrial action that the newly awakened women's
movement, among others, alarmed by selecting misogynního billionaire Donald Trump to the
American presidency, decided to organize. ---- Clearly, concisely, egalitarian ----
Organizers stops, specifically collectives FEM, parents at Charles University, NemrAFky,
Transparent Initiative No Racism!, an informal group of women on March 8, as the home
fourth wave, the Christian-feminist groups and RFK association Konsent, people convened on
Wednesday, March 8 Peace Square in Prague. There is an unusually timely gathered about a
hundred people around the booths of individual organizations offering refreshments, a
smaller distro and freeshop. Besides feminists arrived several television crews and three
plainclothes policemen, as always graceful, striking his nonchalance. Particularly one
with a beard enjoyed in becoming a new photographic equipment and shaking the camera lens
with a cheerful enthusiasm.
Rally started short listing of the organizing teams and bringing international context
stop. The subsequent speech recalled the development of feminist theory and practice in
recent decades and some of the current topics of the feminist movement - casualization of
work, unequal distribution of housework, sad situation underprivileged seniors, poor
awareness of sexualised and domestic violence and the ever present culture of sexism and
toxic masculinity, which negatively influences and traumatized and otherwise privileged
men. "Because of it, we can not celebrate," said the speaker, why we are in the streets.
There was also a warning to the wider context of the feminist struggle - "Feminism means
for us solidarity," came from the anti-capitalist perspective.
Theatre Anny Letenské
After the speeches are presented in a few sentences of the organizing groups, which
received enthusiastic applause. One of the organizers, an informal group Women on March 8,
followed by about a ten-minute break called on those present to attend a performance at
the nearby Vinohrady Theatre.
There is present in a good mood and moved once gathered before entering the theater, the
speaker highlighted the historical context on women as seamstresses in New York strikes of
1908 and that otherwise they are feminists in history, remembered only minimally.
Therefore, women on March 8 decided Vinohrady Theater manifest renamed Theatre Anny
Letenské according to a major actress First Republic, which was the theater of his time is
crucial. Personality Letna recalled also because of the currently discussed television
series La Bohème, which female celebrities of the time Letna by March 8 Women usually
portrays as passive and long-suffering victim of the times.
In the historical context, therefore, we should not forget the women who in the past
against the historical forces actively and courageously fought - whether in arms or
through solidarity and resistance through active compassion.
And what else?
After we had before the newly renamed Theatre Anny Letenské left the picket with a new
name and a bouquet, we returned to the square. Some were engrossed in discussions more
slowly uttering away. It has been necessary to gather strength before afrerparty evening
at the Clinic, where he not only celebrated but also heatedly debated.
Overall, we assess as positive that we as feminists could take International Women's Day
back and fill it with new themes and context of the international fight against sexism and
patriarchal organization of society. Hopefully, next time will succeed to the streets to
mobilize large numbers of people, and it also manages to remember that we feminism and
efforts to eliminate oppression based on gender should accentuate all year round and in
our daily lives, not only from time to time in the demonstrations.

Erdogan has a long arm, and everything is good to strangle Kurdistan. After his army
invaded northern Syria, his ally Massoud Barzani put pressure on the Sinjar, hitherto
defended by militias of the Kurdish left. ---- March 3, 500 peshmerga troops of the
Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) attacked the town of Khanasor in the highly symbolic
region of Sinjar, Iraq[1]. Several deaths and injuries were reported. The attack has been
postponed, but vigilance remains in place. ---- Sinjar is home to the Yezidis, a religious
minority considered "satanic" by the jihadists of Daech. In the summer of 2014, the
peshmerga who ruled the region had fled before Daech's advance, abandoning the Yezidi
populations to the fate promised them by the jihadists: extermination for men, slavery for
women. The Yezidi population owed its salvation only to the spectacular counter-offensive
carried out by the PKK and YPG-YPJ fighters, who had stopped Daech and secured Mount Sinjar.
Thereafter, the Kurdish left encouraged the self-organization of the Yezidis, which had
their own self-defense units, armed and trained by the PKK: YBS (men and women) and YJS
(women).
It is the YBS who repelled the attack of the peshmerga, and captured several.
YB Mil militiamen in Sinjar.
Red enclaves in Iraq
Sinjar, with Maxmur [2]or the Qandil Mountains, is one of the strongholds of the Kurdish
left in Iraq, thwarting the powers in place in Baghdad, Ankara and Erbil, the capital of
the GRK where Massoud Barzani, A potentate in the orbit of Erdogan. In January, a
rapprochement between the Turkish and Iraqi presidents paved the way for this attempt to
take over the Sinjar[3].
Today we see the result.
Sad show that these peshmergas, acclaimed last year in a film of BHL[4], which shoot their
rivals of the left, whereas a few tens of kilometers away, Daech continues its exactions.
Turkish menace on Manbij
The Sinjar attack broke out as the Turkish army and its Islamist supplants of the Free
Syrian Army (ASL) seized the city of Al-Bab on February 27 after several months of
fighting against Daech. Now, Erdogan's troops are targeting the city of Manbij, which is
held by the Syrian Democratic Forces (FDS), an Arab-Kurdish coalition. To counter this
threat, the FDS preferred to back several kilometers, leaving the troops of Bashar el
Assad slipping between them and the Turkish troops. Russians and Americans endorsed this
sleight of hand to limit the clashes.
And the fact is there. Al-Bab, Manbij, Sinjar: in several places, the Turkish state and
its allies demonstrate that Daech is for them only a secondary adversary. Their primary
objective is to eradicate the Kurdish left and strangle the democratic and anti-colonial
symbol that represents the Rojava / Democratic Federation of Northern Syria[5].

Edito: Working in crumbs
In November 2016, one of the Medef parrots (Emmanuel Macron, in an interview with
Mediapart) explained that it would be better for suburban youth to work seventy hours a
week for the equivalent of the Smic as Uber drivers That "hold the walls or be dealer".
Besides being economically false, it translates all logic into the work of uberization:
using mass unemployment to destroy all labor laws.
For Uber capitalism is a survival capitalism.
He "offers" crumbs to those who often have no choice but to take them. At the same time,
by trying to compete with the various working statuses, it tries to nibble at little by
little the wage protections and to lower the price of labor.
But the Uber model is only the tree that hides the forest. Because the fragmented work is
spreading in services (do-it-yourself, moving, transport ...) and also in the public
sector where it takes the name of "vacations".
Thus, in universities, almost one-third of the courses are provided by individual
contractors, who are paid more than four times less than a civil servant to perform the
same work.
Undoubtedly, uberization will be one of the major challenges of the social movement in the
coming years. It is more than time to start confronting it.
