Greece: Nazis murder musician with full police complicity

Nazi terrorists murdered antifascist hip-hop musician Pavlos Fyssas (aka Killah P) in Piraeus. One of the criminals is Georgios Roupakias, 45, already arrested, but it was a well organized murder with many culprits, including the cops, who allowed it. 

According to the victim's father:

Pavlos’ friends made a remark against Golden Dawn inside a cafe where they were watching a football match. Somebody from a nearby table overheard them and made a phonecall to Golden Dawn members. Golden Dawn squads arrived almost simultaneously with DIAS motorbike police. Pavlos tried to help his friends evade the scene, but he was ambushed by another Golden Dawn squad and surrounded. Then another Golden Dawn associate drove with his car opposite in an one-way street, stopped and stabbed him to death, while the DIAS policemen did not intervene. One girl asked them to help but they didn’t. They only approached afterwards to arrest the man with the main suspect.

As reaction demonstrations have been called through the country for this evening. In some cities like Patras, morning protests of teachers (on strike) were joined by antifascists angry for the crime and its outrageous impunity. At least one Nazi see has been attacked.

Let's face it: Greece is already a Nazi state and Golden Dawn rules with the Samaras government being nothing but a transitional puppet, which does not want nor can oppose the Nazi terror, equally targeting immigrants, Roma, reds or the last honest judges. Police is completely in Nazi hands and that means that they control the state altogether. Democracy is not anymore for real at any meaningful sense but the situation is almost identical to Italy at the ascent of Mussolini: it popular self-defense is not urgently organized and exerted, the Nazis will soon march to Athens and take out the last pretense of freedom. 

This surely does not only apply to Greece but to much of Europe, as the fascists are growing everywhere in arrogance and boldness, usually with complicity of the bourgeois governments, police forces and secret services, as well as the upper bourgeois class, which sees in them the last line of defense of their privileges in societies that are quickly collapsing.

Brazil: protests take over Independence Day

The Independence Day demonstration in Rio de Janeiro has been violently repressed by police forces using tear gas and rubber bullets. The demonstration coincided in time and space with the ritual military parade, which had already been reduced in size because of the expected protests, which have been called for all the country against corruption and anti-social policies. 

We are tired of the most expensive World Cup ever, of the politicians, of the highest interest rates on Earth, of teachers living with misery salaries, of public works that never end, of the mercenary and manipulated press, said one of the demonstrators.

Events still unfolding in this Brazilian Independence Day.

Philippines: massive demo in Manila against corruption

At least 50,000 Filipinos marched through Manila against government corruption. 

Recently it was found that several politicians pocketed a good deal of the public money destined to regional development by means of fictitious projects.

Brazil: protests against public waste for Pope's visit

There have been a number of large protests in Brazil against the propaganda visit by that king of nowhere they call Pope, some Bergoglio posh jesuit who collaborated with the fascist terror in Argentina and now pretends to be a saint with the help of media lies. 

The focus in Brazil is anyhow public resource waste, with millions being spent in this visit that serves nobody but the sectarian vultures. 

It is the same as with football or the Olympic Games: instead of using public money for what is needed: public services, agrarian reform, housing, jobs... it is wasted in ridiculous populist activities with no purpose. 

Police employed themselves violently against the masses, as in this image where they use a taser gun against a citizen.

Bilbao: empty building occupied for homes

The number 13th of Ribera Street (pictured), abandoned for years, was occupied yesterday by people in need of a home.

The building is located in the Old Quarter (Alde Zarra) of Bilbao, Basque Country. 

In their communication, the squatters denounced the city model, oriented to tourism and big companies, what pushes most people to precariousness (temporary jobs, no collective agreements, low salaries) and the near-impossibility to have a decent home (or a living in general). 

They denounce the speculators and the corrupt politicians, who push the people to joblessness, homelessness and even lack of a decent education.

We are tired of getting just the crumbs, they say. And, after recalling the long European squatter tradition, they declare:

We cannot waste any more time, we have to take the future in our hands. We have occupied this building with a clear intention: to create a space for all the people and with open doors to learn how to take the reins of our own lives.

Political repression of Basque youths continues unabated

Two more young Basques have seen confirmed their ideological punishment of six years in prison for the "crime" of illegal association, i.e. for being members of a political organization arbitrarily banned by the Spanish imperialist authorities.

This very same Spanish Supreme Court just the day before dramatically reduced a sentence against Spanish corrupt ringleader Jaume Matas (ex-President of Balears, PP) from six years to a mere nine months (so he won't go to prison).

The sentence reduction, by means of declaring the politician innocent of most charges, was issued by a tribunal which is controlled by the ultra-catholic greedy power-mongering cult Opus Dei and on whose likely deep corruption as institution there are already appearing detailed articles and even a Facebook group. 

Back to incorruptible Basque revolutionaries, it is expected that, in the next weeks, other trials for political activity will be reactivated in the Spanish Supreme Court. 

A campaign of civil disobedience, the popular wall already organized in similar cases in order to highlight the dramatic ideological repression that Spain continues exerting against the youth of this oppressed country, is being readied for these cases. 

However what is desirable and democratic is that repression ends at once and that Castile-Spain pulls back its occupation forces behind the 1199 international border.

Spain: thousands demand government resignation

Thousands protested in Madrid and other cities of the State of Spain before the offices of the ruling conservative party (PP) in denounce of the widespread corruption and demanding the resignation of Prime Minister Rajoy, who seems guilty of embezzling and being part of a B account within his party, along with many ministers, former ministers, the party's Secretary General María Dolores de Cospedal and a long etcetera. 

In Madrid they chanted: "government resignation for theft and corruption", "theft and corruption is the Brand Spain", "Rajoy and Cospedal to the prison of Soto del Real" or simply "No!"

Other protests took place in Barcelona, Valencia, Málaga, Seville, Albacete, Granada, Palma de Majorca, A Coruña and Badajoz.

In Madrid and Valencia there were many police charges.

LOLSpain: government sues Anonymous

This one goes in the category humor, no doubt. The reactionary People's Party (PP) in power in Spain with a mere 10 million votes (and quickly declining to a trickle) has reacted to the diffusion by Anonymous of the "Bárcenas papers", which reveal double accountancy, systematic bribes by constructors and illegal over-salaries to ministers, by suing them[es]. 

The documents mostly reveal the double accountancy practices of the hyper-corrupt party but there are also lists of their affiliates and party workers with all the relevant data (ID number, address, phone numbers, bank accounts, etc.)

Without even a smirk the beleaguered PP attorneys sued Anonymous for a crime of revelation of secrets. By doing this they admit that the papers are real and therefore all them are criminals.

As for Anonymous, you know: "we are legion". 

I was recently discussing the issue of NSA surveillance and all that and my argument goes in the sense that, per the unwritten Book of Chaos, total control is impossible no matter how hard they try, what in this case applies in the form of so much information, yet so few brains and computer power to parse it. You can't cage Chaos: you lost before you even tried.

As the besieged ministers repeat once and again: this damages the Spain brand. I hope it does, Mr. Minister, death to Spain!


PS- At the time of posting this I do not know yet where to find the Anonymous leak, but I will update as soon as I have it.


Update (Jul 12): while there is an alleged torrent file at The Pirate Bay, this one is in fact an executable (.exe instead of .torrent) so I don't feel safe downloading it. 

However Diagonal newspaper has created a wiki to parse and analyze all the data (excepted the illegal personal data). This seems to me the safest reference so far (h/t to Javier).

Diagonal has also a series of dedicated articles (in Spanish):

• Filtrada la contabilidad del PP (PP accountancy leaked)
• La conexión canaria (the Canarian connection)
• Hacia una auditoría popular (towards a popular audit)
• Anonymous publica las cuentas del PP (Anonymous publishes PP accounts)
• Etc. (follow the links within the above articles)

Basque Country: San Fermin parade march under the demand of the People to oust the government

The San Fermin institutional parade that every day officially opens the fiestas has found itself drowned by the massive popular demand for the extremely corrupt and illegitimate government to resign. While the authorities marched under heavy police protection, the crowds chanted: "UPN kanpora!" (UPN out!). 

The Navarrese People's Union (UPN) is a "regionalist" party tightly allied with the Spanish Nationalist Right (PP) and is not just extremely opposed to the recovery of the Basque identity, language and culture of Navarre, never mind joining the other Southern Basque regions politically, but also has demonstrated in the last years to be one of the worst institutional looters of Europe, being so extremely and blatantly corrupt that they will no doubt lose the government for the first time in decades as soon as there are free elections.

Txupin for prisoners get harassed by police

A group of Navarrese citizens also wanted to make the fiestas reach, even if just symbolically, to the prison. Therefore they launched their own alternative txupin (sound firework) near the prison (photo) and organized a lunch.

A van of the Spanish National Police showed up, forcing the identification of the activists with very aggressive attitude, while from prison it could be heard the protests against the cops: "assassins", "antiterrorist law for them", "son of a bitch"...

When the activists were already leaving, some police agents used their batons against them.

San Fermin Fiestas: corruption and looting cope popular banners

It is traditional that the renowned San Fermin fiestas, to begin on July 7th in Iruñea-Pamplona, include banners of political satire made by the popular peñas. This year they are almost monothematic: corruption and looting in Navarre. Example (La Única):

Never so few stole so much!!
500 years stealing

Other themes are the demand of public housing and stop to home evictions, the demand of return of Basque prisoners and exiles, the dangers of private hospital "cuisine", rejection to social cuts and overwhelming police repression.

Costa Rica: massive protests and strikes take over the country

Not everything is alright in Costa Rica anymore, especially since the government began privatizing everything and making outlandish concessions to multinational corporations. 

Schools, harbors and health services have been paralyzed in total or partial manner. 

In the capital, San José, thousands marched peacefully but shouting out their anger: "We are not sheep", "no more chorizos [thieves]", "death to the sell out by the government", "no to suppression of the right to strike". 

There were also large marches in all the other provinces of the small country, as well as road blockades and worker strikes. 

In the main port, Limón, workers closed the docks altogether and blocked the only road access to the harbor.

President Chinchilla has made some very unpopular decisions in the last months, selling out the country's wealth and utilities to the private sector, while also falling to many corruption scandals. 

One of these highly controversial decisions is the concession to a Dutch company (ATM) of a new harbor in Limón, which would ruin the publicly-owned current one. Another is the preparation of a law that would severely restrict the right of strike. The corruption scandals are so widespread that the opposition talks of "looting the country".

Navarre: massive demonstration against the corrupt government

Some 10,000 Navarrese citizens marched this Saturday through Iruñea-Pamplona to demand the resignation of the beleaguered corrupt President Yolanda Barcina (UPN, unionist right) so she can be tried in Navarre (and not in Spain). 

Barcina resists in her role of President of the Chartered Government thanks to the "passive" support of the other large unionist party PSOE. Polls predict that the twin-party system that has ruled the Old Kingdom for decades will completely lose control of the Navarrese Parliament, and therefore the Government, as soon as elections are held, but these are not scheduled to happen until 2015 (however they can be called in advance, something the Navarrese People clearly demands).

People at the march chanted slogans like "Thieves out of our institutions", "UPN out", "There is solution: Barcina resignation and bankers to jail", "Out Enrique Maya" (mayor of Pamplona), "One, two, three, four, let them give back what they stole" and also "this is Ali Baba's cave", while in front of the UPN see.

Bulgaria: eighth day of massive protests against mafia dictatorship

We have various governments and parties and the same mafia behind them which never changes. 

Sounds familiar? That is how one protester explained his motivation to be once again in the streets of Sofia, which, along with other cities, has been shattered by popular protests in the last week.

Bulgaria: protests continue against mafioso state

Thousands took again to the streets in Bulgaria in protest against a state that clearly favors the oligarchs. The government reported nine arrests.

Bulgaria: 50,000 march through Sofia against mafioso totalitarian slide

The protest began gathering 7000 people but soon their numbers soared to 50,000. The protests before the Bulgarian Government have been going on for four days already. 

Protesters denounced the government as "mafia" and "trash", demanding their resignation. They also blocked a major road junction. 

The protests were triggered by the appointment as top chief of the secret services of the controversial capitalist and deputy Delyan Peevski, who controls most of the mass media in the Balcanic nation.

Peevski soon resigned but this has not calmed the popular anger, which perceives the government as a mafioso gang opposed to the popular interest.

Japan: Fukushima relief funds mismanaged, even used to subsidize the whale massacre

From Japan Today:

Around 200 billion yen of public money earmarked to help people hit by Japan’s 2011 quake and tsunami has been spent in areas unaffected by the natural disaster, the government admitted Monday.

Projects ranging from counting sea turtles on semi-tropical beaches, to the promotion of cheese and wine events hundreds of kilometers from the disaster zone benefited from the largesse, a report said.

While there is no suggestion of corruption, the admissions are an embarrassment for the Japanese government, which has previously acknowledged the country’s controversial whaling program was being supported by disaster money.

The Asahi Shimbun, a major daily newspaper, surveyed local authorities around the country to find out what happened to the 200 billion yen Tokyo set aside in 2011 for job creation after the disaster.

More than half of this sum is to be raised through higher taxes.
