Basque prisoner in hunger strike against deportation to Spain, where he may face torture

Basque prisoner Ibai Sueskun (pictured) is in hunger strike since September 1st against his forced deportation to Spain, where he fears he could be arbitrarily arrested and tortured, even after having completed his 10-year sentence for membership in ETA. 

Sueskun is natural of Larraga (Navarre) but resident in Donibane (Northern Basque Country, under French administration) and is now at the Prison of Tarascon.

Basque Country: French police beats protesters against speculation

A peaceful protest at a real state company in Donibane-Lohitzune (St. Jean de Luz) was tainted by the blood of the Basque youth as the French military police (gendarmerie) violently beat the protesters.

Three peaceful protesters were injured and other two arrested.

The Basque Country is not for sale

And then they fill their dirty mouths with the word "democracy"!

Basque Country: Nazi French hooligans attack us

Nazi followers of the Lyon football team made attacks in Donostia (San Sebastian) prior to the match with the local team Real Sociedad. Notably they attempted to cause harm at Urka Mendi tavern and broke some city infrastructure. Police then appeared in great numbers and escorted them to the field (instead of arresting and charging them, as would be logical, punishing them at least without football). 

Some of the French Nazis

Instead, in a fight at the Londres Hotel, in which a French citizen was injured, the aggressors (presumably locals) were arrested.

Syria: Lavrov warns of imminent NATO attack

Dismissing the claims of Damascus using chemical weapons as unfounded and extremely unlikely (because Assad does not need them to win a war that is almost over), Russia Minister of Foreign Affairs Sergei Lavrov warned that it looks like the USA and allies (France, UK, etc.) are already determined to intervene in Syria with whatever pretext.

Basque Country: 200 years of "Liberal" Spanish imposition

Today 200 years ago the Parliament ("Cortes") of Navarre was dissolved in the name of the new post-Napoleonic "Liberal" regime of Cádiz. 

You may not know it, but in all the Kingdom of Spain, it were the Basque provinces the only ones who remained indifferent towards Napoleonic occupation. There was no guerrilla (except for some late offshoots triggered by the abuses of occupation) and the French Army had absolutely no problem in holding in our little country. Why? Obviously there was no sympathy for Spain and their Nationalist ideas and soon also it became obvious that the new "Liberal" ideology sought to impose the notion of a single nation-state against the wish of our people and its long-held liberties. 

The liberties of Spain became the yoke of the Basque Nation. 

For centuries, the Basque provinces had retained their unique (and quite "Liberal") institutions in the context of the Feudal system that dominated the Kingdom of Castile (later Spain). Our provinces were ruled by elected bodies since at least 1200, date of the Castilian annexation of the Western Basque Country, rooted in the Navarrese Law, very distinct from the Latin one. 

Residual Navarre had however evolved its "Cortes" into an more feudal-like body, similar to other European Parliaments of the time, in which the different estates (castes) were represented in less-democratic form. It was still better than what Castile/Spain had: absolute monarchy, with its intrinsic tendency to corruption and decadence.

With the Spanish War of Independence against the illustrated Napoleonic protectorate, a new and short-lived Spanish Liberal Monarchy arose from the Cortes of Cádiz, under Machiavellian British support. This new state suppressed the Navarrese Cortes altogether exactly 200 years, and also forced the Western Provinces' Juntas (Parliaments) to swear the new constitution, which incidentally suppressed them altogether. 

Ironically the return to Absolutism restored the Basque liberties, what set the stage for a whole century of Taliban-like support by the Basque institutions and people of the most reactionary camp in Spanish politics. Two Carlist wars, almost only manned by Basques, were the product of that imposition. Eventually it became obvious that the Spanish reactionaries were not either our friends and that the Basque society was much more liberal than its forced affiliation may have suggested and a more modern Basque Nationalism emerged, first with the Navarrese Republican Party, then the Basque Nationalist Party and finally with Basque Nationalist Action and its more recent offshoots: ETA and the Basque National Liberation Movement, with its various tactical names.

Basque internationalist arrested in Palestine

Igor Goikolea was arrested by Zionist forces in the town of Ma'Sara (or Al-Masara). In the previous days two other European internationalists (with French and Italian passports) were also arrested in that same town and expelled from the territories under control of the Apartheid regime.

A protest has been called for Monday in his hometown of Vitoria-Gasteiz.

Occitania: Greenpeace breaches security at Tricastin nuclear facility

Tricastin, near Avignon, is one of the most important nuclear facilities on Earth: it is not just a huge nuclear power plant of four reactors, producing some 6% of France's electricity, but also holds one of the main uranium enrichment plant of Europe. It's shadow is so ominous that nearby wine producers recently changed their official denomination from Coteaux du Tricastin to Grignan les Adhemar.

Today activists of Greenpeace breached the security perimeter and deployed a banner at a stairway just besides one of the reactors. Meanwhile from the opposite side of the canal their comrades projected on the reactor images of a luminous crack and the words "Tricastin nuclear accident", later replaced by an image of President Hollande and the legend "President of the catastrophe?"



Tricastin had a very serious accident in July 2008, when 18,000 liters of uranium solution (containing some 75 kg of enriched uranium) were released to the nearby rivers Gaffière and Lauzon, which have been since then restricted for all normal activities. Also that same month a hundred workers were exposed to radioactive particles and another spill was detected lagging from 2005.

According to Fukushima Emergency...:

The 33-year-old plant is the third-oldest in France’s nuclear park. Multiple cracks on the reactor vessel no. 1 and its location in an area at risk of flooding and tremors make it a safety hazard, according to Greenpeace.

Police only appeared more than an hour after the break-in had been executed. All in all the activists were only arrested six hours later, with full deployment of helicopters and a mountain police special team.

France: DGSE also spies its citizens illegally

The spy agency General Direction for the Security of the State (DGSE) has been revealed to be doing exactly the same as the NSA. From The Raw Story:

... the DGSE intercepted signals from computers and telephones in France, and between France and other countries, although not the content of phone calls, to create a map of “who is talking to whom”. It said the activity was illegal.

“All of our communications are spied on,” wrote Le Monde, which based its report on unnamed intelligence sources as well as remarks made publicly by intelligence officials.

“Emails, text messages, telephone records, access to Facebook and Twitter are then stored for years,” it said.

Of course nobody should be surprised by that. But we all must know and also feel very outraged. While the news is not really news, it is indeed a clear violation of all the alleged principles of the so-called democracy, in which citizens have the right to privacy and authorities need special reasons and authorizations to breach such fundamental right.

Instead all that is routinely monitored and stored, and much as Winston Smith in the dystopian (but horribly realistic) masterpiece 1984, we must all know that each of our communications is being listened to, that we all are being treated as criminal suspects. 

In other words: that we live under a not-so-subtle totalitarian tyranny.

Occitania: march in Avignon against Zionist corporation Mehadrin

From Electronic Intifada (emphasis mine):


More than 500 people demonstrated in the French city of Avignon on Saturday as part of a extraordinary mobilization against Mehadrin, the major Israeli agricultural export company that operates inside illegal Israeli settlements and is deeply involved in the ongoing colonization of Palestinian land. 
At least 350 people then marched the 14 kilometers from Avignon to Mehadrin’s French headquarters in the small town of Chateurenard (video here). As they passed over a major bridge near Avignon, the huge crowd chanted: “Sur le pont d’Avignon, on boycotte, on boycotte! Mehadrin, Mehadrin, on boycotte, on boycotte!” — a play on the famous French nursery ryhme about Avignon. 

The march finished with a rally outside Mehadrin’s warehouses where tents bearing the names of Palestinian villages were erected in tribute to Palestinian resistance and an audio recording of a speech by Palestinian Farmers Union executive director Dawood Hamoudeh was played. Dozens of police surrounded Mehadrin’s warehouses to prevent activists from getting too close to them. Activists from more than twelve cities across France joined the mobilization. 

Mehadrin is increasingly under fire as the boycott, divestment and sanctions (BDS) movement works to expose how it operates farms in illegal Israeli settlements using stolen Palestinian water, exploits Palestinian workers and helps tighten Israel’s grip on occupied land. Mehadrin operates the Jaffa brand of fruit and exports its produce to supermarkets throughout Europe. 

The march was heralded by activists as a successful first step in pressuring major French supermarkets not to stock Mehadrin goods and to create mass public awareness about the importance of boycotting Israeli products. 
The French BDS movement played a leading role in the campaign against Agrexco, a company that used to be Israel’s largest agricultural company before it entered liquidation in 2011.

France: political trial against anti-Zionist for calling to boycott Israel

How ironical that anti-discrimination laws are used against those who are fighting against Apartheid and Genocide!

Seven activists faced trial in Alençon, Normandie, after they took part in a propaganda action in a supermarket, calling for boycott to Zionist products. They risk a fine of up to €1000 for "discrimination". Three others suffered a similar ideological persecution in Perpinyá (Northern Catalonia). Hundreds concentrated in their support in both cities.



France seems to be one of the states on Earth where campaigning against Zionism is most actively persecuted:

Dozens of activists have faced criminal charges or investigation and the French police regularly demand the names and addresses of activists that take part in actions organized in support of BDS against Israel. Several activists have already been issued with heavy fines.



The Zionist regime and its necessary associate the Zionist International, so influential within the Western Empire (but also in other powers like Russia or India), is trying to intimidate by means of political persecution the the campaign of disobedience against their imposition of Hebraized neo-Nazi values. They do not seem to understand that repression only strengthens the determination and support for those who are so obviously right. 

The Empire forces Bolivian Presidential airplane to land in Vienna, evidencing its totalitarianism

In the most scandalous diplomatic incident since there is any sort of international law, the Presidential airplane of Evo Morales was forced to land in Vienna yesterday night. 

The versions so far contradict each other in the details but it seems that:
  1. France, Italy and Portugal did not allow the airplane to cross their air space.
  2. Spain allowed the transit only on the condition that it stopped in Canary Islands to be subject to military registry. Later it also forbade the transit altogether. 
  3. It is unclear by now if the landing in Austria was a mere emergency landing for lack of other options or if it was forced by the military of that country. What is clear is that the Austrian authorities searched the airplane thoroughly in clear violation of international law.
  4. By this time France and Portugal first and Spain later on have already lifted the flight ban, obviously after getting the approval of Washington.

The only comparable (actually worse) violations of International Law in recent times have been the invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq by the USA (and vassals), in which no declaration of war was ever made. Excluding undeclared wars, we really have to dig in examples of very ancient times like the imprisonment of Richard Lionheart in Germany or the kidnapping, deceit and murder of Atahualpa by Pizarro.

And which is the pretext, the trigger of this unbelievable violation of sovereignty? The mere suspicion that whistleblower Edward J. Snowden might have traveled in that aircraft. 


The Empire of Terror versus Chaos and Freedom

Gladio ensign
Why is the Empire, not just the USA but also its boot-licking European vassals, so extremely overreacting, not even doubting to show their darkest Gestapo sewers' reality as a few individuals like Julian Assange or Edward Snowden challenge their secretive core in demand of transparency, of freedom of information, of democracy?

As I see it, the reason is that the secrets that have surfaced are just the tip of the iceberg: there is much more to hide like, for example, all the Gladio network of terrorist-spies that acts as underground government through NATO and some other associated countries, the fact that the Al Qaeda is nothing but an imperial sockpuppet or the truth of 9-11 (and many other "terror attacks") being actually false-flag self-attacks.

Most people even today refuse to believe, in spite of all the evidence, that the 9-11 attacks were performed by the USA itself, as a self-coup to impel the imperial totalitarianism both inside and outside its borders, serving as pretext for military invasions outside and emergency rule inside. But what if papers demonstrating this or other similarly outraging maneuvers would come to light? What if internal evidence shows beyond any doubts that we do not live in "democracies" but in fascist regimes with a mere formal varnish, that we are ruled by a terrorist mafia?

The Empire is therefore most nervous and is sending a clear signal to all would-be whistleblowers and researchers of the "deep state" to cower in fear: we will persecute you everywhere in the World, just like Rome did with Hannibal.

Of course many others are just silently killed in "accidents", "suicide" in jail by hanging with their hands tied to their back, or, as happened to Petra Kelly and her husband (former NATO general Gert Bastian) are shot in the most mysterious circumstances and police decrees it was "domestic violence". Other less important ones may lose their jobs, as happened to a CNT research journalist and librarian when she researched the Gladio network in the context of Spain, or, many years before her, Interviú journalists who dared to do the same. 

The shadow of Gladio, the "deep empire" is long and merciless. But then there are billions living precarious short lives on Earth, and many feel the need to do better than being cowardly accomplices of this machinery of terror... and the Empire cannot silence them all. This is surely the case of Snowden, who in spite of all, must feel he is for the first time in his life doing what he must, filling his existence with a wider meaning.

No, Chaos science does not allow for a perfect order in which everything is under totalitarian control forever, as in '1984': one gap after another will tear the dark curtain to rags. Such nightmare can only be a provisional situation, much more in the extremely complex and information-rich society we live in.

Antifascist demo in Paris: clashes in the aftermath, 14 arrested

A very large antifascist demonstration marched yesterday through Paris in memory of assassinated Anarchist, antifascist and gay-rights activist Clément Méric, who was murdered weeks ago by a Nazi gang. 

The demonstration, which began at the Place de l'Opéra, was participated by antifascist groups, anti-globalization groups, anarchist organizations, labor unions, the Left Party, the Anticapitalist Party, SOS Racism and ATTAC. 


There were some violent incidents in the aftermath, with attacks against shops and banks. Police intervened resulting in 14 people arrested.

Basque Country: homophobic mayor warned by the authorities

The notoriously homophobic mayor of Arrangoitze (Northern Basque Country), Jean-Michel Colo (UPM), was warned by the French authorities of dire consequences if he did not abide by the law marrying a local gay couple, as he must (or alternatively a lieutenant-mayor can as well). 

While the meeting of the mayor with the sub-prefect of Baiona took place, opposing groups of demonstrators concentrated nearby, almost clashing. Police intervened arresting one of the equal rights demonstrators (as usual the fascists have impunity).

After the meeting finished the fascist mayor declared his intention to continue with his unilateral homophobic attitude. He has a week to comply.

France: most cowardly Islamophobic and sexist attack in Paris causes abortion

A young Muslim woman, 21, was attacked in Argenetiul, Paris, by two Nazi men. The attackers tried to remove her hijab, cut parts of her hair and removed part of her clothes. When she protested that she was pregnant, they beat her womb so badly that the fetus died.

Another woman suffered a similarly coward and racist attack in the Paris region three weeks ago.

UK planned the Syrian war years ago, admitted Roland Dumas

Former French Minister of Foreign Affairs, Roland Dumas (pictured), has revealed that the government of the United Kingdom, lead by David 'Babyface' Cameron. 

In declarations to LCP TV channel (widely quoted through World media thereafter), Dumas declared that:

I was in England, for an unrelated reason, two years before the violence in Syria began. I met with high British officials who confessed that they were preparing something in Syria.

This was in Great Britain, not the United States. Great Britain was preparing a rebel invasion of Syria. They even asked me, even if I was not anymore Minister of Foreign Affairs, if I would like to take part in it.

He also implied that the violence in the West Asian country was related to the anti-Zionist stand of the government of Damascus. In this regard, he also declared that Israel had admitted that they would try to destroy every single government in the region that does not collaborate with the Apartheid Regime.

Basque official report on the victims during the guerrilla war

Fascist mercenaries at the Montejurra massacre
The semi-autonomous Western Basque Government has issued a report[es] that attempts to quantify the numbers and typology of the victims in the period of the guerrilla war from 1960 to 2013. 

Actually ETA was only active in armed form from 1968 and officially declared the end to armed struggle in 2011. Guerrilla war and state repression should be quantified, in my understanding since 1936, when the fascist coup ignited the fire of popular armed resistance, which existed since then in many forms (grouped in the catch-all term maquis, inherited from the French Resistance), some of them with clear independentist undertones. 

The report also seems somewhat biased in favor of certain kind of victims, not counting, for example, deaths in prison or those killed or mutilated in car accidents when traveling to far away prisons to visit their relatives or friends. People in prison for political reasons, with or without sentence, should be accounted and in most cases are not. The report mentions once and again the various associations of "victims of terrorism" but never any association against torture, for the rights of prisoners, etc. Those killed in police operations against armed groups, such as the Pasaia Massacre, don't seem to be accounted for either. It is not clear if the reports of police violence include those by French agents (surely not).

Fascist PM Carrero Blanco was killed by ETA(m)
In any case, the report accounts for the following figures for the 1960-1978 period:
  • 136 killed by ETA, Autonomous Anti-Capitalist Commandos (CCAA) and other anti-system groups. In detail:
    • ETA (prior to schism): 18
    • ETA (militar): 89
    • ETA (political-militar): 9 (2 in kidnappings)
    • CCAA: 4
    • Iberian Directorate for Liberation (DRIL): 1
    • Others: 2
    • Not sufficiently clear: 13 (2 in kidnappings).
  • 87 killed by the Spanish police (74), death squads (13) or death penalty. In detail:
    • Police abuses, confusion and other causes: 23
    • Police violence in demonstrations: 22
    • In road controls: 19
    • In police custody: 5
    • By out-of-service agents: 5
    • By the Basque-Spanish Battalion (BVE): 3
    • By the Apostolic Anti-Communist Alliance (Triple A): 2
    • By fascist violence against demonstrators: 3
    • By execution after military trial: 2 (the famous Txiki and Otaegi, 10 others were sentenced to death but never actually killed).
  • Other anti-system violence:
    • 236 seriously injured in attacks (230 by ETA in its various forms).
    • 14 people kidnapped and later released (3 after being shot to the knee).
    • 8 attacks against media.
    • An undetermined number of police agents injured in demonstrations.
    • Some 3600 major attacks (by organized groups) in this and the following period.
    • Some 4500 minor attacks (in the so called "street fight") in this and the following period.
  • Other state violence:
    • 422 injured by police violence in demonstrations. 
    • 355 death squad arson attacks and death threats.
    • 238 subject to military trials.
    • 103 terror attacks by death squads (not including kidnappings).
    • 32 journalist brought to trial or otherwise jailed.
    • 22 injured in road controls.
    • 22 death squad attacks against demonstrations.
    • 13 hospitalized after arrest.
    • 11 death squad attacks against media.
    • 9 kidnappings with violence and torture by death squads.
    • 6 injured by out-of-service police agents.
    • An undetermined number of arbitrary arrests, preventive prison, etc.
    • An undetermined number of media closures, censorship and prohibitions.
    • Not researched but mentioned: abuses and torture against prisoners.
  • Unclear: 4 people missing.

Not accounted for? (Pasaia 1984)

  • 703 killed by anti-system groups:
    • In attacks by ETA(m): 644 
    • In attacks by the CCAA: 38
    • In attacks by ETA(pm): 12

    • Kidnapped and released: 
      • ETA(pm): 24 (11 after being shot to the knee)

Thousands marched in Paris in memory of Clément Méric

Thousands have marched today in Paris in memory of Clément Méric, the young Anarchist murdered by French Nazis of the JNR. The march was opened by a banner with the legend: Clément forever in our memory, in our hearts".


Demonstrators chanted slogans like "not a fascist in our streets", " we don't forget, we don't forgive" and "no pasarán!"



Speakers from France, Turkey and Spain praised the determination of the antifascist militant, who at his young age (18) was not just active in many movements (CNT, antifascist movement, anti-homophobic movement) but had also overcome a leukemia. 



There have been protests and memorials also in many other cities of France and the rest of Europe.

The media treats Nazi violence much worse than individual or "terrorist" attacks

An interesting remark by Yesca (Castilian revolutionary youth movement) upon the murder of Clément Méric:

It is very curious how the mass media give these issues very low profile and priority in comparison to the coverage provided to attacks of "lone wolves" or Muslim fundamentalists. The far right has demonstrated once and again its dangerousness for the working people, attacking especially the most conscious and combative individuals on social and labor rights. We are not talking of isolated cases, but of a continuous trickle of aggressions, attacks and murders by well organized groups, which are widely ignored or even protected by the resorts of the State. That is maybe the reason why the deaths of antifascists are dispatched with such a minimal media repercussion.

France: seven arrested for the murder of Meric: the technical murderer is a Spanish Nazi

Seven people have been arrested for the murder last night of Breton Anarchist Clément Méric. They are all members of the Nationalist Revolutionary Youth (JNR), even if some are as old as 37. 

Among them there is a Spanish Nazi, named as Esteban M., who was the person directly causing the death of Clément, as he punched him with his brass knuckles causing his fall and hitting of some sort of metal object with the back of his head. 

According to the last accounts, Méric and some other antifascists had a heated argument with the Nazis in an apartment where there was a sale of clothes. Both groups exited the apartment separately but it seems that the Nazis ambushed the anti-authoritarians, forcing a short fight that resulted in the death of the young Breton. 

The background of the murder is clearly related to the Nazi and Fundamentalist Christian mobilizations against homosexual rights in France in the recent months. Clément was very active in the campaign for the rights of homosexuals and had therefore confronted the fascists in several occasions.

France: fascist murder in Paris

Clément Méric, 19, was attacked by three Nazis near the Saint-Lazaire station of Paris, resulting in his clinical death after being beaten with steel knuckles.

Clement, born in Brittany, studied Political Sciences and was known for his antifascist compromise. 

Jean-Luc Melénchon, co-president of the Left Front, demanded the immediate dissolution of fascist gangs, which have been outragingly at large in the last weeks, often attacking gay ambient areas and even directly fighting against a strangely tolerant police.
