Is Rafael Correa the Haile Selassie of Ayahuasca?
26-09-2013 20:04
The dying empire that has threatened to take the rest of us with it now is in a horrifying condition: In its desperate grasp to continue as if nothing had happened, the hemorrhaging regime is trying to play over mutiny in its inner circles with increased harassment of opponents and allies alike. From a diagnostic point of view, its predictable reaction against the rapid erosion of its imperialist delusion is expressing a monstrously enlarged reproduction of its deepest inner contradictions: Its present incapability to cease its spying even as it becomes a threat to its existence is resulting from the same self-destructive impulse that brought it to this irrational behaviour in the first place. The deceptive assumption that the truth about such crime could be repressed forever has not only enabled its perpetration but now is also fueling the illusion it could be forgiven without even being ceded. At the same time it becomes increasingly difficult to deny that the so-called “democratic project”, as its false idealism describes itself, is headed to end up on the wrong side of history, while no human thought can predict how much more destruction it might pile up before being spent there. In such a situation it makes sense to cease following the narrative details of its death spasm and instead look at what could be offering itself as an alternative. Hence this text.Extreme Rain & Climate Collapse

Remember the UK floods, plus Germany and Eastern Europe? Now extreme rainfall events have hit Asia and the U.S. In Colorado, one year's worth of rain fell in 24 hours.

Solidarity with Rosia Montana - what cyanide are you on?
01-09-2013 00:48
After more than a decade of resisting against the largest open cast cyanide gold mine in Europe, Romanian activists have been blatantly sabotaged by our own government. Three days ago a special law, allowing Canadian mining company to begin exploitation for gold and other metals was voted by ministers without due process, in a manoeuvre weaved with deception - despite fierce oposition from hundreds of organisations in Romania and beyond. Risks of ecological catastrophe are monumental – the mountaintops removed will create a 400m deep crater, visible from the moon!August Critical Mass bike ride – report & pics

14-08-2013 13:05
[from http://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/john-severino-the-may-29-case-in-la-paz] On May 29, 2012, 13 people were arrested in La Paz, Bolivia, as part of an antiterrorism witch hunt directed against anarchists in response to a series of arsons, bombings, and sabotage claimed by the FAI-FRI and related to government plans to build a highway through TIPNIS, a protected rainforest. Subsequently, most of those arrested have been released, in some cases after snitching to prosecutors. Two people remain locked up. This article is an attempt to cut through the pervasive misinformation surrounding the case, and facilitate solidarity for those who deserve it. It is also an attempt to learn certain practices of communication in anarchist circles that aid repression and hinder solidarity.
Together with comrades in La Paz we have convoked an international day of solidarity for May 29, 2013. We intend this article to lend clarity and background to that convocation.
