Barcelona: 32 flats Occupied for Evicted Mortgage Victims

The Spanish debt spiral is still climbing. All social services are being destroyed or sold off to help pay the interest on gigantic grants to save the Banks after the collapse of their capitalist scams.  But the debt keeps rising.

With evictions still running near 500 a day and popular anti-eviction laws rejected by the government, community groups are beginning mass occupations.

A building in Torre Baró district  of NOU BARRIS has been occupied for evicted families or because they live in extreme precariousness
The property is owned by a subsidiary of the Barcelona County Council and has been empty a long time.

Bandera Negra (Black Flag) statements on anarchist Arrests

Kolectivo Bandera Negra: No bail for 5 anarchist ‘Facebook Terrorists’

****

.Supporting terrorism?  On the arrest of anarchists in Sabadell and media terrorism,

judicial and police by Anarchists 16 May 2013

From early yesterday morning we’re all longing to know who the detainees are. Who has been dragged off to Madrid in chains to face the High Terrorist Courts?  In fact we have no knowledge of who they are or what exactly they are accused of. According to the press are “members” of the anarchist group Black Flag (Bandera Negra), which we had no knowledge of its existence and of which we only found now has  a Facebook page.
The truth is that the arrests only serve to realize a situation that many saw coming. In the last few weeks have been going out sporadically in virtual press articles (Cadena Ser, Europa Press, etc.) on anarchists, making a salad of issues that do not relate to reality, but they did serve to create a situation conducive to a coup like this . And there are many colleagues who have spoken through articles about it in blogs, pages and publications.

Can Piella evicted in 6 hrs. Motorway blocked, New occupations

The resistance has hampered the evicion of  Can Piella that has been extended over six hours

After holding out for more than 5 months since the Court Order the Can Piella ‘Land and Liberty’ occupation was evicted yesterday, on the 2nd anniversary of the start if the 15M ‘Take The Streets’ uprising. The squat had become a symbol of anarchist type collective action, permaculture, and resistance to rampant capitalist speculation, with countless mobilisations and widespread public support, even by local councils.

The eviction comes on the same day as an ”anti terrorist” raid detained 5 local anarchists see here and in the context of a 15M offensive, with demonstrations and new occupations daily. See  here,  here  here  and here (Catalan)

The 15-M movement is very much alive on the second anniversary of his birth ,in that has held marches in Madrid and another 20 Spanish cities under the motto “From outrage to rebellion: ‘Escrache’ the system ‘.

Not only to commemorate his birthday, but to denounce the problems that the May 15, 2011 led to the so-called ‘indignados’ camps in dozens of Spanish cities are still present today. As usual in this movement, its philosophy that the street is of citizens leads them to not communicate officially to the authorities these marches, which will continue throughout the month of May.

Carbon dioxide in atmosphere at highest level for 5 million years

Atmosphere rising at fastest rate since records began

Tom Bawden   The concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has breached the symbolically important level of 400 parts per million (ppm) for the first time in 5 million years after rising at its fastest rate since records began.

Average daily CO2 levels jumped by 2.74 ppm in the first 17 weeks of 2013, compared to last year, the biggest increase since the benchmark monitoring stations high on the Hawaiian volcano of Mauna Loa began taking measurements in 1958.

Experts blamed most of the increase on rising emissions from China and India, which still rely heavily on coal for their energy, but said other factors could also be partially responsible, such as a reduced absorption of CO2 by forests and plants.

Registering a huge landmark on the climate change map – albeit a predictable and inevitable one – the monitoring stations recorded a CO2 concentration of 400.03 ppm on Thursday.

The elevated carbon emission reading harks back to the Pliocene period, between 3m and 5m years ago, when global average temperatures were 3 or 4C hotter than today, the Arctic was ice-free, sea levels were about 40m higher and jungles covered northern Canada.

It fuelled fears that CO2 emissions – widely, although not exclusively, regarded as being at least partially responsible for the sustained rise in temperature since the Industrial Revolution – were increasing at a faster rate than previously thought, with potentially disastrous consequences across the world.

Ed Davey, Energy and Climate Change Secretary, said: “This isn’t just a symbolic milestone, it’s yet another piece of clear scientific evidence of the effect human activity is having on our planet.”

He added that the development further underlined the need to decarbonise the UK economy and secure the legally binding deal that the world’s leading economies have agreed to finalise by 2015.

Al Gore added: “Take this day and the milestone it represents to reflect on the fragility of our civilisation and the planetary ecosystem on which it depends.”

Jon Sauven, executive director of Greenpeace UK, said: “This is a landmark moment for humankind, a milestone every bit as important as when the global population passed six then seven billion.”

During the month of May, take action to enhance local food systems, conserve energy and water, and build community resilience.

The Hawaiian monitoring stations are run by the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the Scripps Institution of Oceanography. They have been the benchmark since 1958 because Hawaii is so far from large population centres.

The first reading, made in March 1958, was 315ppm. In the early 1960s the CO2 emissions reading was going up at a rate of 0.7ppm a year, but the increase has since accelerated to 2.1ppm.

The concentration of CO2 typically peaks in May, before falling until October, as plant growth in the northern hemisphere’s summer absorbs the gas, and then goes up again during winter and spring.

Experts said it could take hundreds of years for the full effect of the higher CO2 concentration to be felt, for example by gradually changing ecosystem through the melting of ice caps in Antartica and Greenland.

General Education Strike a huge success!

Thousands of teachers and students have taken to streets across Spain to protest spending cuts they say are destroying the country’s public education system.

In Madrid, the protesters – many of them wearing green T-shirts that have become a symbol of their movement against the budget cuts – marched to the education ministry on Thursday. The demonstrators called on Jose Ignacio Wert, education minister, to resign.

12M / 15M: Back to the Streets in May in Barcelona

foto S..Rpdriguez., gracias.

On May 15th 2011, millions of people started a process of social change, giving a clear and unmistakable signal that we are not merchandise in the hands of politicians and bankers, we have been publicly and massively expressing that the representative democracy is dying. The political class have not understood the message. Despite the growing protests and the outcry of upset people, these ruling classes are using this crisis to plunder the common wealth, risking the lives of people.

Permaculture Project: reinvent ourselves

Why start with: what permaculture means? Because many people don’t know what  it means, A lot of people think that it’s the normal agriculture with nothing different and that you are crazy because in this time of crisis, catastrophes and war you think only about nature and having some lush vegetables in your garden…but permaculture or synergistic agriculture, as you prefer, is not only a method to work the soil and have lush and sane vegetables but it’s above all “taking care of people”.

Starving the Poor to Stuff the Rich: The Global Agri-Business Model

A daily ration of bread is now beyond the reach of roughly a billion people on  planet Earth. What’s more, hunger is spreading like a pandemic, making incursions from its traditional strongholds in the global south to towns and cities across depression-hit Southern Europe.
