On 15th May were arrested at their homes, in the province of Barcelona, Yolanda, Silvia, Juan, Xabier and José by order of the Spanish National Court in a police operation that resulted also in the smashing and seizure of material from Catalan anarchists premises.
Accused of committing crimes of membership of a terrorist group , praising terrorism, recruitment and indoctrination and storage of explosive substances, they are currently remanded in prison in Soto del Real (Madrid) far away from their family and friends, under third grade imprisonment.
The details of these allegations are: The alleged involvement of these five anarchists on Facebook pages (Bandera Negra and Front Solidari de Barcelona among others) that the state and regional police forces consider to be “terrorist gangs”-despite did not demonstrating any activity outside the networks -; their attendance at demonstrations in which there have been incidents and dissemination of opinions “that have aimed to disseminate subversive ideas and to incite and / or commit crimes against State and capitalist interests “(Writ of 17/05/2013).
Moreover, the prosecution believes that the material seized in their homes reinforces these accusations: Flags and shirts with anarchist iconography, libertarian philosophy books, gasoline from the garage, screws of various kinds, Valencian firecrackers and rockets whose marketing is legal.
In connection with these events, from this platform for the release of the five anarchists arrested in Barcelona, whose purpose is the dissemination and reporting of the unjust situation in which they find themselves, we here declare:
1. That, taking into account the “evidence” on which they are based, such charges are ridiculously disproportionate and extremely unfair, which demonstrates once again the lack of validity of the current political system, the imperious will of the repressing ruling class the deeply fascist DNA of the Spanish state and the latent lack of political independence of our judicial system.
2. That the fact that despite accusing them of such crimes they are not charged under the normal anti-terrorism law or processed with the usual procedure in such cases reveals the judicial circus that our colleagues are involved in and the lack of serious evidence that would lead anyone with common sense to think that they are terrorists.
3. That his arrest and continued detention clearly reflects a desire repressive and ideological persecution to those who reject the current political regime, which is absolutely unacceptable and unjustifiable.
For all these reasons we DEMAND THE IMMEDIATE RELEASE OF ANARCHIST FIVE OF BARCELONA and appeal to the solidarity of all those who, like them, reject the unjust economic system, political and social setup. That is why we ask for your help and support to publicise the situation of Yolanda, Juan Silvia, José and Xavier, till there’s no one is left who hasn’t heard of the vicious of political, media and police frame-up they have been victims of.
We want them back, our comrades, friends, parents. We want them home free, with us.

El pasado día 15 mayo fueron detenidos en sus casas, en la provincia de Barcelona, Yolanda, Silvia, Juan, Xabier y José por orden de la Audiencia Nacional española, en un operación policial que tuvo como consecuencia, además, el registro, destrozo e incautación de material de varias sedes anarquistas catalanas.
Acusados de incurrir en los delitos de pertenencia a grupo terrorista, enaltecimiento del terrorismo, captación y adoctrinamiento y depósito de sustancias explosivas, se les ha impuesto prisión preventiva que actualmente cumplen en el penitenciario Soto del Real (Madrid) lejos de sus familiares y amigos, bajo fíes de tercer grado.
Los hechos a los que responden tales acusaciones son: La supuesta participación de estos cinco anarquistas en páginas de Facebook (Bandera Negra y Front Solidari de Barcelona, entre otras) que la fiscalía y los cuerpos de policía autonómica consideran “bandas terroristas” –pese a no poder demostrarse su actividad fuera de las redes –; su asistencia a manifestaciones en las que se han producido incidentes y la difusión de opiniones “que han tenido como fin el de difundir el ideario subversivo, para incitar y/o cometer hechos delictivos contra el Estado y los intereses capitalistas” (Auto judicial del 17/5/2013).
Por otra parte la fiscalía considera que el material incautado en sus hogares refuerza estas acusaciones: Banderas y camisetas con iconografía anarquista, libros de filosofía libertaria, gasolina en el garaje, tornillos de diversas clases, tracas valencianas y cohetes cuya comercialización es legal.
En relación con estos hechos desde esta plataforma por la liberación de los cinco anarquistas detenidos en Barcelona, cuyo propósito es la difusión y denuncia de la situación injusta en la que se encuentran, manifiestamos:
1. Que, teniendo en cuenta las “pruebas” en las que se basan, tales acusaciones resultan desproporcionadas hasta llegar a lo ridículo y tremendamente injustas, lo que pone en evidencia una vez más la poca validez del sistema político actual, la imperiosa voluntad represora de la clase dominante, el ADN profundamente fascista del Estado Español y la latente carencia de independencia política de nuestro sistema judicial.
2. Que, el hecho de que pese a incriminárseles tales delitos no se les haya aplicado la ley antiterrorista ni se haya seguido el procedimiento habitual en estos casos, pone de manifiesto el circo judicial en que nuestros compañeros están inmersos y la carencia de pruebas serias que induzcan al sentido común a pensar que se trata de terroristas.
3. Que su detención y permanencia en prisión responde a una voluntad claramente represora y de persecución ideológica a aquellos que rechazan el régimen político actual, algo absolutamente inadmisible e injustificable.
Por todo esto EXIGIMOS LA INMEDIATA PUESTA EN LIBERTAD DE LOS CINCO ANARQUISTAS DE BARCELONA y apelamos a la solidaridad de todos aquellos que, al igual que ellos, rechazan el injusto sistema económico, político y social establecido. Es por ello que pedimos vuestra ayuda y apoyo para difundir la situación de Yolanda, Juan, Silvia, José y Xabier, que no quede nadie que no sepa del burdo montaje político, mediático y policial del que han sido víctimas.
Queremos de vuelta a nuestros compañeros, amigos, padres y madres. Los queremos libres y en casa, junto a los suyos.
from Facebook of ‘Eskupe Metralla’ , in prison for ‘promoting terrorism’
Update from;
The 5 anarchists arrested Wed 15th have been imprisoned without bail. They appeared in Madrid court on ‘promoting terrorism’ and other charges, that is, just saying things in favour of ETA separatists on their Facebook identities pages. According to the police on Facebook they are ”Kete Follen, Pakete Bomba, Cadenas Libertarias, Eskupe Metralla and Indio Apache Barcelona”.
Police photo of ”terrorist material” seized form Kolectivo Bandera Negra
Of these we only found Eskupe Metralla still up, this page seems like 1000′s of other radical young anarchists, supporting animal rights, prisoners, punk bands, occupy, anti-fascist action etc… Perhaps thism is another police ‘mistake’. We saw no threats to politicians or royals in his/her 1370 great photos, some do advocate violence, but were put on her/his wall by others, so the crime would be ‘not deleting a criminal photo from your Facebook timeline’… Eskupe has not posted since Wednesday when the arrests took place.

UPDATE 6th MAY
Re-Blogging this from a few months baxck as the US gets ready to start bombing, with the ridiculous pretext of chemical weapons, see here Washington fabricates chemical weapons pretext for war against Syria and Israel already started bombing...
STOP STOP STOP THEM NOW
The final logic of Capitalism is war. The excuse of a ‘chemical weapons’ in Syria is as false as Saddam’s secret weapons. This time round more millions of innocents will die, to boost the profits of the US ‘War Economy’ Corporations who control the US Congress. This time round there is little protest, nobody believes they can be serious, but this war is becoming daily more certain. Now is the time for the US and UK public to stop a barbaric air blitz…
In fact, we may be so close to another mid-eastern war that Syrian President Bashir Al-Assad is emphatically trying to find an exit: View full article »

The papers call us ‘anti-systemites’
Who are we? What are we against? When do we appear?
When do we we vanish?
Now we understand, that veteran, with glasses and gray hair, who first glanced at the fire and then threw on cartons to stir it up: he was an anti-systemite!
And how about those adolescents who parked their bikes and helped break the windows of the museum Diocesiá (the fraudsters and abusers). They were anti system too.

Hugo Chavez has shown that resistance to US control is possible and popular.Neither mourning nor celebrating: time for social struggles to become autonomous! When an illness becomes serious, when medical attention becomes a vehicle for myopic, politically motivated decisions and when a patient becomes drunk with power, it can only end this way. The strongman has died, and in so doing, he has initiated a substantial shift in the Venezuelan political landscape.
What used to be the regime’s greatest strength has suddenly turned into its defining weakness: it was all Chávez, and, without him, the only solution is to fabricate an absolute commitment to his memory and his plans for succession. The government’s true fragility can now be seen, a government which tried to demonstrate its “popular, socialist” character via a grotesque personality cult, a practice that has now been reduced to the empty invocation of spirits.
The deceased himself is to blame for this outcome as the secrecy around his illness was propelled by the same motivations as the extreme centralisation of power around him, while the lack of ideological coherence amongst his followers has left them scrapping for crumbs. The high-level “rojo-rojito” [chavista red] bureaucrats and the upper echelons of the military are best placed to benefit, as they negotiate impunity for their various misdemeanours and corruptions.
For the right-wing and social democratic opposition, the new situation finds them unable to overcome their losses of the presidential elections of October 7 and the regionals of December 16, offering a “yuppy populism” which promises voters that they will maintain and fine-tune the clientelist tools of governmental power which were so useful to Chavez.
This accommodation assumes the belief that a fortuitous metastasis has brought them within reach of the power that their greed, mistakes, laziness and incompetence had kept them away from, power they will wield with similar stupidity and greed as the Chavista bolibourgeoisie.
The backdrop to this load of petty opportunism – from both the Gran Polo Patriótico [the Chavista coalition] and the Mesa de Unidad Democrática [the opposition coalition] – is Venezuela, a country that faces its own problems: out of control inflation, rising unemployment and precarious jobs, the devaluation of the currency, shocking personal insecurity, crises in electricity and water provision, education and health systems in decline, a housing shortage, obsolete – or incomplete – public works, a demagogic approach which pays attention to only the most extreme scarcities experienced by the most desperate people… a whole host of other problems which are equally disastrous.
These issues are not the central concern of the two gangs in competition for Miraflores [the President palace/seat] and the oil booty. Our collective response must be to not relent to their blackmail: support at the ballot box in exchange for ‘solutions’ that either never materialise or are ludicrousl
y inadequate.
Now is the time to overpower the rotten powers that be and build – from below – a real democracy of equality, social justice and freedom. We must unleash the generalised anger caused by our suffering, and convert it into autonomous social struggles, self-managed and extensive. We must spell out for the politicians in power that we don’t need them, neither as intermediaries nor as gracious givers of what we ourselves can construct – united and from the base – without any need for “clean hands” or “red berets”.

He has presented a proposal for a reciprocal benefit society, a new collective project: RADIUS (Revolution, Action, disobedience, Integral) to protect the revolution and prevent any more comprehensive disobedient activist having to go to jail. Radius is to create an organizational structure to protect the physical integrity of persons activists committed to transforming society, Integral Revolution and freedom of expression, for all those being persecuted by repressive and judicial structures of the State and economic power and who want the option to disobedience and personal protection. read more HERE

In Britain there are no human beings or citizens, no..
..there are only live money beings.
The population allows this to happen. They allow the state to tax them very hard and no real protest happens. They seem to like it, or they are just under the spell of a very organized propaganda. After all it is for the common good.
Let’s all in Britain scream in one united voice that we want a very expensive private educational system perpetuating social walls. Here is another idea: why not, instead of letting older generations freeze in the winter, the banker boy just shoots them all. It would be more dignified. He could even privatize this and get some tax out of it.
Britain is heading towards an intellectual black hole.
In Britain there is no social critique or artist that inflames the masses.
