TheTrap

-‘Quick quick disguise me girls. The punky wig, the hat!’-

Barney narrating

           -’Next stop Riverbank Park. Buses to the center stop here. Passengers for Ragwort Pool, the path across the park is now cleared through the next gate down.’-

This is our stop already. The bus hisses to a halt, next to the dark ruined park. Lucy is worried again, she wants to go into town and pick up Duna and Lila, while I will take the short cut, through the park and across the little river, and be home with Moonbeam in just ten minutes!

Me and Lucy don’t suffer from premonitions, unfortunately. Maybe we are just too newly in love, to worry about falling into a trap. We’d gone all starry eyed and smoochy, giggling under Christy’s sheet in the back of the bus.

            In less than an hour we had cleaned up Maggie’s Kitchen, prepared our picnics, fed all the animals and were all out the door with our bags on our backs. Leaving the neighbours having an assembly.

            It was a mistake to all rush off, we needed someone at home working with the phone and computer. It was my fault, I was all shook up. I think I was anguished and elated at the same time.

‘Revolution Day’

I could hear wild cheering as the crowds merged

Barney narrating

I’m up here on the eleventh floor preparing my talk, for trying to win over the soldiers when they arrive at dawn. I’m all psyched up and shitting myself. The appeal probably won’t work, and then what?.

It’s two thirty in the morning here. I got keys of the manager’s office, in the occupied Customs and Excise building. This floor is in use, but empty now, the rest of the block was all abandoned till today. It isn’t because of the strikes that the Port is stopped. It’s down to economic collapse and impossibly stormy weather.

The amazing story of The Anarchist Blacksmith

See film preview.  An Anarchist Life, Italy (English subs).

It is a model story, an extraordinary adventure, a tale of revolutionary practice and tension, among anarchy and irony, simplicity, curiosity and vitality all throughout Europe, its wars and the social struggles of the 1900s. It is a story on how to live all in one breath, responsibly, diving into contradictions, “getting one’s hands dirty”, and still keeping one’s balance between theory and practice….

5th Annual Show: Another feminist Porn is Necessary

No social or cultural revolution can happen if, instead of embarking on the fight, of releasing our bodies and thoughts, we act from the prisons of our own prejudices, limitations and embarrassments

porn as self education

.Chronicle and assessment of the international art and postpornography Show, ’Muestra Marrana’,  in Barcelona.    by Diana J. Torres

For three cold days the art production center Hangar (Barcelona) was again heated with groans and feminism. Yes, that’s one way of describing what is Postpornography, a way of understanding sexuality as a free identity construction tool , as a liberating weapon system from boring and oppressive hetero, and as a way of  reimagining and renewing our sexuality.

Jailed Pussy Riot denounce totalitarian Putin.. verdict Aug 17

Three members of the feminist punk band Pussy Riot said Vladimir Putin’s Russia was the one on trial as they delivered closing arguments on Wednesday in a case seen as a key test of the powerful president’s desire to crackdown on dissent.

“This is a trial of the whole government system of Russia, which so likes to show its harshness toward the individual, its indifference to his honour and dignity,” Nadezhda Tolokonnikova, 22, one of the trio on trial said in an impassioned statement. “If this political system throws itself against three girls … it shows this political system is afraid of truth.”

The judge set 17 August as the day she would deliver a verdict against the women, charged with hooliganism motivated by religious hatred following an anti-Putin performance in a Moscow cathedral.

Prosecutors have asked for a three-year sentence, arguing that the women sought to insult all of Russian

Orthodoxy and denying they were carrying out a political protest.

Tolokonnikova called the charges against them a “political order for repression” and denounced Putin’s “totalitarian-authoritarian system”, insisting Pussy Riot were an example of “opposition art”.

“Even though we are behind bars, we are freer than those people,” she said, looking at the prosecution from inside the glass cage where she and her two bandmates, Maria Alyokhina and Yekaterina Samutsevich, have spent the nine-day trial. “We can say what we want, while they can only say what political censorship allows.

“Maybe they think it wouldn’t be wrong to try us for speaking against Putin and his system, but they can’t say that because it’s been forbidden,” she said, wearing a T-shirt emblazoned with the revolutionary words “No Pasaran”.

Couching their case in the long plight of political prisoners in the country, the three women urged Russians to reject Putin’s system and embrace freedom.

Alyokhina, 24, compared the trial to the Soviet Union’s persecution of Joseph Brodsky, when the young poet was charged with being a “social parasite”, becoming a global cause celebre that highlighted the government’s farcical control over culture.

“We are not guilty – the whole world is talking about it,” Alyokhina said, hours after Madonna became the latest, and biggest, star to come to the women’s defence.

“I am not scared of you,” Alyokhina told the court. “I’m not scared of lies and fiction, or the badly formed deception that is the verdict of this so-called court. Because my words will live, thanks to openness.

“When thousands of people will read and watch this, this freedom will grow with every caring person who listens to us in this country.”

Lawyers for Pussy Riot have been expecting a guilty verdict and three-year sentence, but said that was called into question following the judge’s delay in issuing her decision. Lawyer Nikolai Polozov said growing international attention, including recent messages of support from the likes of Madonna and Yoko Ono, had had their effect. “To take a quick decision under such pressure is very dangerous for the authorities, so they’ve taken a time out,” he told the Guardian. “No matter what the verdict is, we have won,” he added.

Each woman ended her closing statement to loud applause from the Russian journalists sitting in the courtroom.

1000′s saltan los peajes/ 1000′s Jump Road Tolls

‘I won`t pay, anti toll campaign

La segunda protesta contra el precio de los peajes termina con 3.087 denuncias en Catalunya

The second protest against the price of tolls ends with 3,087 complaints in Catalunya

Thousands of drivers have supported the protest against the price of tolls. The initiative, promoted by groups # novullpagar and I do not pay, was seconded in Catalonia, Valencia and Madrid Country.
Miles de conductores han secundado la protesta contra el precio de los peajes. La iniciativa, promovida por los colectivos #novullpagar y Yo no pago, fue secundada en Catalunya, País Valencià y Madrid.
For the group # novullpagar (I do not pay) that of “second parts are never good” has not been fulfilled. Today, thousands of drivers have supported the protest against the price of tolls, which was to go through them without paying a single euro on the grounds that the roads used to transport enough already retired.
Para el colectivo #novullpagar (No quiero pagar) aquello de “segundas partes nunca fueron buenas” no se ha cumplido. Hoy, miles de conductores han secundado la protesta contra el precio de los peajes, que consistía en pasar por ellos sin pagar ni un sólo euro por considerar que las autopistas por las que circulan ya están suficientemente amortizadas .
The call was announced, with the cooperation of the platform I do not pay-to encourage those who circulate through Spanish roads, but although there were also withheld in the Valencian Country and Madrid, Catalonia where he was more successful.

Thus, there have been major bottlenecks tolls Vilassar de Mar, where the retention of vehicles came to occupy four miles, and Martorell (Barcelona). Although, according to Efe said the organizers, there were also boycott against South tolls Girona, Mollet and Garraf, which showed “little retention and collapse, despite the orders of the concessionaire Abertis to pass quickly to the people.”

La convocatoria estaba anunciada -gracias a la colaboración de la plataforma Yo no pago- para animar a todos aquellos que circularan por carreteras españolas pero,

Jumping the Toll Gate

aunque también se produjeron retenciones en el País Valencià y Madrid, fue en Catalunya donde tuvo más éxito.

Así, se han producido importantes atascos en los peajes de Vilassar de Mar -donde la retención de vehículos llegó a ocupar seis kilómetros-  y Martorell (Barcelona) . Aunque, según indicaron los convocantes a Efe, también hubo boicot contra los peajes en Girona Sur, Mollet y Garraf, que registraron “pequeñas retenciones y colapsos, pese a las ordenes de la concesionaria Abertis de dejar pasar rápidamente a la gente”.
In the end, according to Abertis, the day ended with 3,087 complaints for nonpayment. “Offenders” shall pay a fine of 100 euros, plus the possible administrative penalty the company to claim back the amount not paid.

However, of the 16,000 complaints of default which, until last Thursday, had received the Catalan Traffic Service toll dealerships, only 1,291 have been processed. Still, the platform # novullpagar asked the government “to stop debt collection agencies make Abertis” and “not to pursue or threaten citizens attached to the campaign.”

Although, as that service, monitoring the protest was much lower (almost 50% less) than last May 1, the platform convenor disagrees. “The Catalan people have answered again representing abuse tolls in Catalonia”, sentenced.

Al final, según datos de Abertis, la jornada terminó con 3.087 denuncias por impago. Los “infractores” deberán pagar una multa de 100 euros, además de la posible sanción administrativa que la compañía reclamará para que devuelvan el importe no pagado.

No obstante, de las 16.000 denuncias por impago que, hasta el jueves pasado, había recibido el Servicio Catalán de Tráfico de las concesionarias de peajes, sólo se han tramitado 1.291. Aun así, la plataforma #novullpagar pidió al Gobierno “que deje de hacer de cobrador del frac de Abertis” y “que no persiga ni amenace a los ciudadanos adheridos a la campaña”.

Aunque, según dicho Servicio, el seguimiento de la protesta fue mucho menor (casi un 50% menos) que la del pasado 1 de mayo, la plataforma convocante discrepa. “El

1000′s jumping toll gates in Catalunya

pueblo catalán ha respondido de nuevo contra el abuso que representan los peajes en Catalunya”, sentenciaron.

“Thousands of vehicles have collapsed at 12:00 pm the main tolls and the wave of demonstrations to 18:00 h was even more crowded,” they said.

Another objective of the group is calling on all political parties to support the abolition of tolls Act introduced in Parliament by Catalan Solidarity per Independence.

After the good response to the mobilization of 12:00, organizers have said # novullpagar have signed up another goal in the second protest of the day, convened at 18:00, qualifying for success.

After the day, the Platform # novullpagar Prou Peatges feel entitled to urge the Govern in their demands and ask him to stop “threatening” to citizens who choose not to pay tolls.

“Miles de vehículos han colapsado hacia las 12:00h los principales peajes y la oleada de movilizaciones de las 18:00h ha sido aún más multitudinaria”, aseguraron.

Otro de los objetivos del colectivo es pedir a todos los partidos políticos que apoyen la Ley de supresión de peajes presentada en el Parlament por Solidaritat Catalana per la Indepèndencia.

---

Después de la buena acogida de la movilización de las 12:00, los organizadores de #novullpagar han afirmado haberse apuntado un nuevo tanto en la segunda protesta del día, convocada a las 18:00, que califican de éxito.

Tras la jornada, la Plataforma #novullpagar Prou Peatges se siente legitimada para insistir ante el Govern en sus reivindicaciones y pedirle que deje de “amenazar” a los ciudadanos que optan por no pagar los peajes.
