No evictions of autonomous centres!

*Gather & Resist - weeks of solidarity*


The autonomous center Cologne calls out for the
GATHER&RESIST - WEEKS OF SOLIDARITY from 28.6 to 7.7. -
days of action and networking - long live AZ KÖLN!

The campaign KEIN TAG OHNE! (no day without!) mobilizes to defend the
center that has existed for three years. On June 30th the present
contract for the center ends. The end of contracts doesn`t mean 
eviction yet: With GATHER&RESIST we invite you to join the celebration
of squatting and resistance, which is bound to hit the city.

During those days the AZ will be a place to gather from all whereabouts,
to link our projects and struggles and to share our perspectives.
GATHER&RESIST wants to be a platform for building and deepening networks.

At the same time we are taking a straight forward step towards
solidarity and resistance. We will build barricades, fortify the
building and our actions will create a situation of pressure for those
in power.

*GATHER&RESIST lives through our creativity and participation. *There
will be pre-arranged workshops and ideas for action: anti-repression,
building barricades, solidarity with different uprisings, get-to-know
the area. There will be a convergence center, place-to-sleep-pool and a
vegan kitchen for all. An awareness structure and an Out of Action-area
will be available at all times. To use these structures in an effective
way, we will provide rooms for retreat and safer spaces (e.g.
dormitories for WomenLesbiansTransInter* and People of Colour). You'll
find more infos on our website soon.

*If you need a place to sleep, please contact
Schlafplatz-koeln@riseup.net as soon as possible.
*
Also there will be sufficient room for input, workshops, discussions,
assemblies and actions that we will organize together. If you have 
further contributions to the program, please contact
gatherandresist@riseup.net.

On Saturday 6th of July there will be a big demonstration in solidarity
with AZ Köln and all squats worldwide. Let´s organize this demonstration
together!

Weeks of solidarity - a place for a joined struggle against the attacks
on our self-determined lives and structures.

*Come to Cologne 28th of June - 7th of July!*

t.A.T.u cover., ? å fransk animerad sci-fi

kollade imorse igenom mina musikfiler i jakt på nått lite skoj å svängigt - hittar en mapp med Italo techno disko*, som jag fått av npn för rätt länge sen. tredje låten börjar;  och jag märkar att jag hört melodin på dess vocals förut - hjärnan letar, slänger ur sig; Tatu !,  men vilken låt?
youtubar det men närmaste träff blir 'Not gonna get us' , e ju inte den., osäker nu, men var en väldigt stark impuls att detta var just Tatu.,  hjälp nån?!

hursom, inför det här inlägget letar jag upp 'tredje låten' " Spacer Woman" från -83 och får se att videon till den är klipp ur en fransk animerad sci-fi film från ungefär samma tid, som jag råkade se hos en vän för inte så länge sen - handlar om en planet där människor hålls som husdjur av nåra jättelika humanoider**, sådär konstnärligt drömsk och obehaglig samtidigt. kan rekommenderas, fantastic planet se gärna traliern här, "...spellbinding science fiction" sagt med släpig datorröst  !

**Humanoid är en inom sci-fi välanvänd term för typ: alien som nästan ser ut som människa - bara kanske t.ex, blå och kanske räfflat pannben eller så.

familjeåterförneing

.. kan ju låta fint. Enligt det här dokumentet från migrationsverket är deras syfte att följa barnkonventionen: "barn har rätt att återförenas med sina föräldrar". Men varför någon flyr, riskerar sitt liv (och lämnar sitt liv) är för mig.v. av mindre intresse. Det hela går i linje med Billströms strävan att göra alla, inklusive barn, deporteringsbara*. Kring gå lagar när det passar, använda barnkonventionen (som de ifs också bryter mot) i legitimeringssyfte.

notera att det är samma "European return fund" som finsierar detta, som har finansierat REVA, samt står bakom broschyrer som delas ut vid EUs östra gräns, där migranter får veta att "vi kan inte nå varandra, du har inga papper, inga pengar"

* tidigare utspel kommenterat av ingen illegal här: http://inv.se/artikel/83303

the desire for mac

...is a strive away from consumerism, away from the constant demand to choose - we'd spend less time on being a consumer and more on producing., ? which doesn't make sence considering the "prosumer" concept.
However I think it's still interesting to watch the seemingly reversed liberal logic of more individual choice. It is a product that solves the demand for not wanting to spend time making choices between products.
Is this something reversed - then subvertive* ,  or just a visible example of an inherent paradox in the liberal ideology of choice?

*as in turning on it self, but being super succesfull

Hello everybody,

Please, be so kind to forgive me my bad english.
Here's an overview of what is happening in the detention centers of
Schiphol Airport and Rotterdam in the Netherlands at the moment.

During a noise demo on the 5th of May, we managed to get in touch with
people inside and they told us that a group of more then 20 refugees had
started a hungerstrike since the 1st of May. We published the news.
After we did so, the management of Schiphol started extreme pressure on
the refugees to break the hungerstrike. People were thrown in isolation
cells that were too cold, where they only had a matrass and a blanket, no
clothes or underwear, but only a tear shirt, bright lights constantly on
24/7.
People were threatened with more measures, independent doctors were denied
access to the detention centre. One person was, in reaction to his
participation with the hungerstrike, about to be deported to a country
that was not even his country of origin, but we managed to stop the
deportation by pressuring the air company and threatening them with
publicity and charges.

On the 6th of May, a vaste group of refugees started a hunger and
thirststrike in detention center Rotterdam. Nessar, the spokesman of the
group of more then 100 refugees of different departments in the centre,
managed to force an agreement with the CEO's that people in hungerstrike
would not be put in isolation cells. The agreement was supported by the
Union of Refugee Lawyers.
But in the night of the 9th of May, Nessar was suddenly transferred to a
department with only empty cells. He was able to give an update by phone
and told us that the cell was kept too cold on purpose, that he didn't
have his own clothes at his disposition and that he was locked in
isolation of the others of the group.
In the meantime, the other refugees in hunger and thirststrike were
seriously put under pressure, by threatening with isolation cells or
immediate deportation. The Ministry of Safety and Justice stated by press
release that 'the vast majority of the group gave up the protest'.

The 'independent doctor' that visited the hungerstriking refugees turned
out to be owner of a private company providing doctors to detention
centers. The team of real independent doctors were denied access,
according to the management of the detention centre because the refugees
had stated that they didn't want another doctor. We have spoken several
refugees inside who clearly stated that they didn't trust the medical team
of the detention centre and that they needed another team.

On Saturday the 11th of May, the situation of Nessar, the isolated
thirststriker, became critical, as his kidneys showed signs of failure. He
signed a declaration saying that, even if he would lose consciousness, he
did not give permission to be hospitalize or to be administered artifical
nutrition or medication.
In reaction, the management ordered the guards to keep him awake at night,
which is a well known torture method.

Despite his declaration, Nessar was transferred to a medical penitentiary
today, against his will. Here, he will be force-fed, even if force-feeding
is considered as torture.

Not once did the management of the detention centres showed any
willingness to talk about the demands of the refugees: freedom and
protection. Not once did the Ministry respond to the clear protest of the
refugees: we are not criminals and we don't want to be treated as
criminals.
The main stream media ignores the facts about detention practices and
minimalizes the hungerstrikes.

In the meantime, the calls on the alarm phone keep coming in. Refugees
tell us how medical care is systematically denied, how they are thrown in
isolation cells for a week - even for a simple thing as sharing your food
with your cellmate. How they are locked in their own cells for three days,
just for questioning the utterly racist behaviour of the guards. We have
spoken to several people who came to the Netherlands with legal papers,
but who were thrown in jail anyway, or who have seen their residence
permit being withdrawn with no apparent reason.
The majority of the people we have spoken to in the last week has children
and see their families torn apart, for more then a year because of
detention of one of the parents, or even permanently because one of the
parents is deported.

Migrant detention can last up to one year and a half in the Netherlands.
The 'reasons' to be put in isolation cell are numerous and the number of
time people are put in isolation is hardly registered.
Isolation cells only have a matrass, a camera and a toilet. People only
have a tear shirt and are not allowed to wear underwear. The cells are too
cold, by the use of ventilators directed to the matrasses. The lights are
not turned off at night.
Visitations are standard procedure. A woman who was raped in her country
of origin and refused visitation, was visitated by force, one leg fixed by
a chain, by a male guard - thus raped again.
Refugees who need medical care in a hospital are often not transported to
the hospital. If they are allowed to visit the hospital, it will be hand
and anckle cuffed.
No information is given to the refugees inside about their procedures. One
can be kept for months, be deported without the lawyer having the time to
start a procedure or be kicked out on the streets - apparently random.

A TV journalist asked me this week to describe the situation inside
detention centres in one word. I said: a modern concentration camp. He was
all indignified - how could I dare to compare the horrors of the Second
World War with the situation right now, knowing that hideous things
happened in concentration camps. I said, because hideous things happen
right now, right here.

Besides the fact that the whole country is covered by cams, a large number
of municipalities now have drones surveilling from 6pm untill 5am. No, I'm
not kidding. Activists face serious repression. One of us was convicted to
four months of prison, just for publishing texts on the internet. We, the
Deportation Resistance group, are under close surveillance - and then I
really mean close surveillance; my children and visitors are followed and
ID checked.

Please, show solidarity, in whatever way. Kick ass at the Dutch embassies
or do whatever you think might be a good idea.
Dutch authorities apparently decided to take a leading role in fascist
policies in Europe and this is getting completely out of hand here.

In solidarity,

9th May 2013, Netherlands

CALL FOR SOLIDARITY WITH HUNGER AND THIRST STRIKERS IN DETENTION CENTERS
IN THE NETHERLANDS
 public indictment against the system of repression we call Fortress Europe.

About 60 asylum seekers in detention center in Rotterdam, the Netherlands,
have been in hunger strike for four days now. 18 of them also stopped
drinking since Wednesday 6th of May. They are protesting against the
asylum policy that criminalizes refugees: they get thrown out on the
streets without money or shelter and they get detained in prisons for up
to 18 months. The refugees on hunger strike demand not to be treated as
criminals anymore. They clearly stated they want freedom and protection.

Wave of hunger strike
Wednesday May 1st, twenty refugees in detention center Schiphol went on
hunger strike. While the guards brutally broke down the strike in
Schiphol, by putting the hunger strikers in isolation cells, about 80
refugees in detention center Rotterdam started a hunger strike on Monday
6th of May. One day later, fifty women in detention center Brugge
(Belgium) also went on hunger strike.
A thirst strike is even more dangerous than a hunger strike: the latter
can last for 40 days before people get in a critical situation, whereas a
person who does not drink will be dead after one week.

Government arrogance
The Dutch government has shown an unbelievable arrogance in this matter.
At first, they did not respond to the demands of the refugees at all. One
parliament member of the ruling party People's Party of the Freedom and
Democracy (VVD) even went as far as to say the refugees “were taking the
government hostage” by going on hunger strike. Then, as late as Thursday
9th May, they  “provided” a worthless “offer”. In return for the end of
the hunger strike, the government “offered” to shorten the usual 17 hours
a day detainees are locked inside their cell with a few hours. The hunger
and thirst strikers of course rejected this ridiculous proposal and they
will continue with their protest.

But things are getting very serious right now. As of Friday the third day
without water begins for the refugees who have no other means of getting
their voice out than to go on a hunger or thirst strike. Refugees
searching for a better life get thrown into a Kafkaesk bureaucracy of
having to provide proof that doesn't exist in order to get their permit to
stay. Once rejected, undocumented refugees get thrown out on the streets
and get denied basic human rights, such as food, shelter, work and health
care. Racist police hunt them down and jail them. In detention, refugees
are stripped from their dignity, their autonomy, their lives and their
future. Once deported, no one ever hears from them again. Right now,
refugees in detention center Rotterdam are directly and unmistakeably
demanding their rights and their freedom. The government will have to
respond very quickly and adequately, if they don't want to be held
responsible for dozens of deaths.

Call for solidarity
We are strongly calling for solidarity from our friends throughout Europe.
Solidarity with the hunger and thirst strikers in special; and with
refugees in general. The state is aimed at excluding everyone who is not
directly exploitable by capital. Make it known how this insane migration
policy of repression destroys the lives of hundreds of thousands of
refugees. Show your solidarity by spreading this message.

Print this letter and glue it everywhere, preferably to walls that
symbolize exclusion by Fortress Europe: parliament buildings, embassies,
deportation offices, immigration offices, etc. etc.
Letter removed? Glue it again. Everywhere.
TOGETHER WE CAN FIGHT FORTRESS EUROPE!

Björklund å woody allen

hahah,  tyckte att en av höjd(?)punkterna i partiledar debatten va när Jan Björklund påstod att mätningarna som visat att folk är emot vinst i välfärden är påhittade, lite ironiskt iom björklundskolans mätningshysteri å typ språktesthets.,  MEn hörde klipp nu igen och, Björklunds källa: citat "woody allen sa ungefär såhär: 94,3% av alla undersökningar är påhittade"   haaaaa,  ehm
