Occupy Everything - Clusterfuck Nation "Recession Officially Over," The New York Times' lead headline declared around 7 o'clock this morning. (Watch: they'll change it.) That was Part A. I dropped in on the Occupy Wall Street crowd down in Zuccotti Park last Thursday. This is the funniest part to me: that leaders of a nation incapable of constructing a coherent consensus about reality can accuse its youth of not having a clear program. For instance, what is Attorney General Eric Holder's program for prosecuting CDO swindles, the MERS racket, the bonus creamings of TBTF bank executives, the siphoning of money from the Federal Reserve to foreign banks, the misconduct at Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the willful negligence of the SEC, and countless other villainies? Language is failing us, of course. Instead, our leaders only propose accounting tricks to pretend there is more when really there is less. Praise has been coming in from all quarters for the peacefulness of the OWSers. My books are available at all the usual places.
Guerrilla News IRF Bristol claims attack against Law Courts in solidarity with Revolutionary Struggle (UK) On the night of Monday 10 October, the windows of Bristol Magistrates Court were smashed and ‘FIGHT BACK’ sprayed on the front of the building. On the night of Tuesday 11 October, the windows of Bristol Civil Justice Centre were smashed. One of many reasons these buildings were attacked was in solidarity with people persecuted after the riots. Now the state is trying to make an example of the small percentage of rebels they’ve managed to catch – and is threatening collective punishment of families and households. It should be obvious by now that we’re not acting in order to ask for some kind of reformed, more ‘just’ replacement for this – or anything else – within this democratic society. Physical attacks like these are just one part of the struggle for freedom, whether they’re done in open joy by a crowd of former strangers or quietly in the dark by a small group of friends. Nothing has ended, everything has begun. {*style:<b>
Incendiary attack against car dealership by Fire Cell / FAI (UK) On the night of Monday 10 October we hit the bastard system again with more fiery anger. Two cars at the GP Motors dealership in Newnham, Cambridge, were arsoned – we hope the flames spread to the others, bringing a roaring inferno to the quiet leafy streets. No one was outside, the only sign of the middle class residents awake was the blue glow of TV screens from curtained windows! Shout out to the impatient and the bored shaking off passiveness and going on the attack against society!! To the Greek uprizers and most especially the CCF , you fill us with strength, stay strong and stay unbowed! And to the anarchists on the attack around the world, in Mexico, Chile, Spain, Indonesia, Russia, Argentina, Italy, and everywhere else – we are winning, winning against society’s cloying herd mentality and the meaningless lot set out for us in life. Against the whole fucking disgusting cage of civilisation – wild destruction for total liberation! {*style:<b>Fire Cell / Informal Anarchist Federation
