Profit overrides the lives of thousands of innocent civilians and the starvation of children. U$A can stand by and let the Zionist psychopaths do the killing, while they wait in the wings to reap the blood soaked spoils of this brutal genocide. Throughout this entire inhuman genocidal attack on the civilian population of Gaza, U$A and its Western puppets have supported the slaughter to the hilt, stood by and arm the aggressor and now they are getting ready to collect their pay back, the riches of the Gaza oil fields. Endless wars are rich pickings for this blood soaked insanity of an economic system. Its total destruction is the only answer to get to a society of fairness and justice for all. A society built on mutual aid, co-operation, that sees to the needs of all our people.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXQHQq_8YuslgX3qNvNd9ykg76wE4FJCSpZz0_uhP4F40jyh-BFw3EosMjcarxweBs-ZIKOTtPtcoOn8p05KDhstSIyL74NROm5ZPfnwO8u305SA8DS4Su2ssWyFWAwM37D5533GWpWxLyF9IOQvvykWSeNyJpmwjvo7zTwXa0zN6ms3tqGAWgUvg1eAE/s3600/oil123.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2196" data-original-width="3600" height="244" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXQHQq_8YuslgX3qNvNd9ykg76wE4FJCSpZz0_uhP4F40jyh-BFw3EosMjcarxweBs-ZIKOTtPtcoOn8p05KDhstSIyL74NROm5ZPfnwO8u305SA8DS4Su2ssWyFWAwM37D5533GWpWxLyF9IOQvvykWSeNyJpmwjvo7zTwXa0zN6ms3tqGAWgUvg1eAE/w400-h244/oil123.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><b><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robber_baron_%28industrialist%29" target="_blank">Image courtesy of Wikipedia.</a></b></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><b> </b></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><b><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjF2gnj3Qm-CgouZtY78rF3GxnP4j4s4bJ1mupal4CLeiTcG_nDbIWVPj0-uXCrUvCzOJgZUdUL-3KOts4KxFc5iGHydVDTUw-ktqx4WuV9A6X0qEupygUSqswLNNrPhguRNLL8JQv6yJUprQpIDmnL1SK-AuoIc1iaNVwWQWaqLBGoADdeBAjrkq06gs8/s320/Anarchist%20banner.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="200" data-original-width="320" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjF2gnj3Qm-CgouZtY78rF3GxnP4j4s4bJ1mupal4CLeiTcG_nDbIWVPj0-uXCrUvCzOJgZUdUL-3KOts4KxFc5iGHydVDTUw-ktqx4WuV9A6X0qEupygUSqswLNNrPhguRNLL8JQv6yJUprQpIDmnL1SK-AuoIc1iaNVwWQWaqLBGoADdeBAjrkq06gs8/s1600/Anarchist%20banner.jpg" width="320" /></a></div> </b></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: small;">Visit ann arky at<b> <a href="https://spiritofrevolt.info" target="_blank">https://spiritofrevolt.info </a></b></span> <br /></div></div>ann arkyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06922062627756737185noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3186608697830229050.post-34228765634535198062024-03-07T16:59:00.000+00:002024-03-07T16:59:12.128+00:00Keelie 47.<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-xc0mtFK7gs1Lo-swccd2Q4l2cAdaMlOvgLkPbJq2vbfr_G9v0xGGtm7JvVkm7fniTCUK4OH3ORgy8FfjcKax32TBfvJFlBI9aOEyOJDzTU2jzD-GdEKHqdYTZE4qwylujvyw4FDRnucG5h7WrsILrspVEfxbXr8w2QVw1amHf_lep9dQqm8hYylKxsM/s320/Anarchist%20header.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="62" data-original-width="320" height="62" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-xc0mtFK7gs1Lo-swccd2Q4l2cAdaMlOvgLkPbJq2vbfr_G9v0xGGtm7JvVkm7fniTCUK4OH3ORgy8FfjcKax32TBfvJFlBI9aOEyOJDzTU2jzD-GdEKHqdYTZE4qwylujvyw4FDRnucG5h7WrsILrspVEfxbXr8w2QVw1amHf_lep9dQqm8hYylKxsM/s1600/Anarchist%20header.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p></p><p style="text-align: justify;"> Once again the great wee pocket rocket of a newspaper, your newspaper, the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/ClydesideRevolts/"><b>Glasgow Keelie</b></a> hits the street.

Three months later a national dock dispute brought more than 45,000 militant port workers out on strike. In both these cases as with many others the workers left their battle stations, their place of work. The Labour government took advantage by again sending conscript troops to break the strike. A fair percentage of workers now realise that the point of production is their fortress. There will always be a vertical bar between the haves and the have nots as long as the working class is “legally robbed” by the captains of industry. -------<br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://libcom.org/article/labour-government-vs-dockers-1945-1951" target="_blank"><b><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1792" data-original-width="1429" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6rS9I9M43E5JvnJQdhcTylp5RxDH0HZAF7Qr3_JlMLDb5KTdUCFClV2VpL2WVvMlava67ItC34-vuTNhyxc4ARcVFLJPWjEbgmOAGdkpkNVj9TYQdV6jfsRqT8542D8GM0_k9N6qLJYqeeUJ11BEm-u2kBcIgWhSvBZbElhK7bD_SN4NNUMqaHnQ_xyk/w319-h400/1945%20dock%20strike.jpg" width="319" /></span></span></b></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://libcom.org/article/labour-government-vs-dockers-1945-1951" target="_blank"><b><span style="font-size: x-small;">Image courtesy of LibCom.</span></b></a></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b><span style="font-size: x-small;"> </span></b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b><span style="font-size: x-small;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGE3fOY3bRag5WG6weFreqgtVM8EEcSdtJS8fMqGlj5jBcRQ0bGtsmiEQsLVRWGNW0zU_HYPC6oIk6nQuztdOYrODr2mI8mdbRXgdNXIaabSL-_A1Xom2_KkNV31plaS1zj_ixyLuADXcfu4kg2ru7_iicl_b4HO7NgL5ZwRlvOGUB93GMk7KKQ1L7joY/s320/Anarchist%20banner.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="200" data-original-width="320" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGE3fOY3bRag5WG6weFreqgtVM8EEcSdtJS8fMqGlj5jBcRQ0bGtsmiEQsLVRWGNW0zU_HYPC6oIk6nQuztdOYrODr2mI8mdbRXgdNXIaabSL-_A1Xom2_KkNV31plaS1zj_ixyLuADXcfu4kg2ru7_iicl_b4HO7NgL5ZwRlvOGUB93GMk7KKQ1L7joY/s1600/Anarchist%20banner.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /></span></b><span style="font-size: medium;"> Visit ann arky at</span><b><span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="https://spiritofrevolt.info" target="_blank"> https://spiritofrevolt.info</a> </span></b> <br /></div></div><p style="text-align: left;"><style type="text/css">p { line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 0.25cm; background: transparent }</style></p>ann arkyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06922062627756737185noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3186608697830229050.post-44309071166860771682024-03-03T18:48:00.000+00:002024-03-03T18:48:12.270+00:00Joe Hill.<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqbAPGFMNb296WB3uSZaaNEEsHeQYeBayjITbwEMsbV1fbWSEk0vh2ys382eQXsPz-hLe_KEShvs81OYNvGbyBtovyUvwLYO81VMWgt22T6WOZlSyzJnItzKwLVl8m_ApjI0Y6nOAWK2yNWqGg5nemRPs7DtaJG3xInoLERVgXYZk9vzlKd7H2DEQrjoQ/s320/Anarchist%20header.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="62" data-original-width="320" height="62" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqbAPGFMNb296WB3uSZaaNEEsHeQYeBayjITbwEMsbV1fbWSEk0vh2ys382eQXsPz-hLe_KEShvs81OYNvGbyBtovyUvwLYO81VMWgt22T6WOZlSyzJnItzKwLVl8m_ApjI0Y6nOAWK2yNWqGg5nemRPs7DtaJG3xInoLERVgXYZk9vzlKd7H2DEQrjoQ/s1600/Anarchist%20header.jpg" width="320" /></a></div> <p></p><p style="text-align: justify;"> Mark your diary, the next free <b><a href="https://spiritofrevolt.info" target="_blank">Spirit of Revolt</a></b> event is Thursday 7th March, 6:30 to 9:00 in the Electron Club, <b><a href="https://www.cca-glasgow.com/" target="_blank">CCA 350 Sauchiehall Stree</a></b>t.

Along with exhibitions in the <b><a href="https://www.glasgowlife.org.uk/libraries/venues/the-mitchell-library" target="_blank">Mitchell Library </a></b>we have run a series of events in the Mitchell Library called "Show and Tell" where we arranged events round material in the archive with relevant material on display for people to examine.

Why politicians hate old folks, they have memories, and lots of my memories are of those political out bursts by the pompous political ballerinas.

I say be very worried, as this means that most business are shrinking, rather than growing, which in turn means that the government will be looking at ways to boost big business. The only way they know how to do that, is plunder the public purse of tax payers money and hand it out to the big businesses. So look forward to more poverty, harder struggles to pay your bills and feed your family. Despite this "recession" some business are doing very well thank you. British Gas has announced that its profits for the year have grown 10 fold, thanks to our hard struggle to pay our bills. Will this vast increase in profit mean that our energy prices will drop 10 fold, my arse. Another attempt to plunder the public purse is the Chancellor, he is considering a squeeze on social service to fund tax cuts, to help his corporate cronies. All their plans are to help big businesses and to hell with the effect on the general public The public purse is there, in their opinion to be used to feed their corporate cronies in the wealthy parasite class. <br /> With this system of corporate capitalism, we the general public are only there if we can earn money for the corporate bosses and pay taxes to help fund their continuous plunder of the public purse. When we are not doing that, we are disposable, we can scratch a living as best we can, live a life of dire poverty, watch our kids lead a stunted life and slowly move to an early grave. Any government that forces this on the public when it can be avoided is surely guilt of killing them, not by bullet or bayonet, but by denying them a decent life when that government could remedy the situation with the resources of our tax money. However, that will never happen unless we, the public, take control of all the wealth we produce and see that it's fairly and justly distributed to see to the needs of all our people. We don't need the parasite class, they need us, but we let them plunder and abuse us.</p><p style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: justify;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjh2FWewnGa8jzURttegJ7-OJLOG9bqqRNIjAExBwArEPTVRwiAWVUYtzRbYy3JPG-LcU0Zftb-aabVltSnVgkLq9it48HHfoydvEIuniCE4lyYWl8BuZfjkCo4_Mc-3-7e5oNTkFUACVaFaz-e_E1UIqo1b6Pj_OyBERhBp4vO1nVa-od2hE3K2MTXE2U/s1200/poverty%201B.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="630" data-original-width="1200" height="210" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjh2FWewnGa8jzURttegJ7-OJLOG9bqqRNIjAExBwArEPTVRwiAWVUYtzRbYy3JPG-LcU0Zftb-aabVltSnVgkLq9it48HHfoydvEIuniCE4lyYWl8BuZfjkCo4_Mc-3-7e5oNTkFUACVaFaz-e_E1UIqo1b6Pj_OyBERhBp4vO1nVa-od2hE3K2MTXE2U/w400-h210/poverty%201B.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><span style="font-size: x-small;"><b> <a href="https://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/royal-family/munroe-bergdorf-coronation-wealth-b2332262.html" target="_blank">Image courtesy of Independent.</a></b></span><p></p><p style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><b></b></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><b><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLFw1YawIk4iFFFuHeyab-lgutSeYQ_yXA8GOq7aBN-88h2Bx-cxxKWGrPUhD8ylTzxubJ71tD1vcIoD7X_RHyBQUi6BocOuyDzvto341Jbp4J28cv6QCvqkgWtA5xg6j8Y232yiQd0kkO5WT7Klcz7xJc20W4ewnI1dUfZyR2yeKAqathhNo06iOJM3g/s320/Anarchist%20banner.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="200" data-original-width="320" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLFw1YawIk4iFFFuHeyab-lgutSeYQ_yXA8GOq7aBN-88h2Bx-cxxKWGrPUhD8ylTzxubJ71tD1vcIoD7X_RHyBQUi6BocOuyDzvto341Jbp4J28cv6QCvqkgWtA5xg6j8Y232yiQd0kkO5WT7Klcz7xJc20W4ewnI1dUfZyR2yeKAqathhNo06iOJM3g/s1600/Anarchist%20banner.jpg" width="320" /></a></b></span></div><span style="font-size: small;">Visit ann arky at<b> <a href="https://spiritofrevolt.info">https://spiritofrevolt.info</a> </b></span> <br /><p></p></div>ann arkyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06922062627756737185noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3186608697830229050.post-22361321604780840442024-02-07T13:35:00.001+00:002024-02-07T13:35:26.984+00:00Glasgow??<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHPDZsDfugZaKroORG-END61FiCdHaSri1id5JMEgxlaNQtTMXJctl25Alky0r7YAmMIhFSZZzWpTarbDJixp9i9KFdeJppTx3cO0y2z_JvIJXgvvboNWzONhoju6bdQVMmEK_hQQVjklr_6IYejzyrh6eMy8FEYFdcbz6viK25IEhNDheIJHBk7cZDtA/s320/Anarchist%20header.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="62" data-original-width="320" height="62" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHPDZsDfugZaKroORG-END61FiCdHaSri1id5JMEgxlaNQtTMXJctl25Alky0r7YAmMIhFSZZzWpTarbDJixp9i9KFdeJppTx3cO0y2z_JvIJXgvvboNWzONhoju6bdQVMmEK_hQQVjklr_6IYejzyrh6eMy8FEYFdcbz6viK25IEhNDheIJHBk7cZDtA/s1600/Anarchist%20header.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p style="text-align: left;"></p><p style="text-align: justify;"> So you know Glasgow? Well, do you!!<br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b>Glasgow, the name.</b><br /><br /> Glasgow can trace it history back to at least the 4th century, it was at that time a certain St. Ninian stopped by the Molendinar Burn, where the Cathedral is today, and consecrated a piece of land there as a Christian burial ground. Some hundred years or so later a St. Kentigern brought the body of a holy man Fergus to be buried at the St Ninian spot. St Kentigern stayed and set up a Christian community in the area. He later became known as St Mungo patron saint of Glasgow. <br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;"> The name 'Glasgow' has gone through considerable changes over the centuries. The earliest Charters refer to the city as 'Glaschu', while the earliest seals give several different spellings. In the seal of 1180 the spelling is 'Glesgu', and the seal of 1325 it is 'Glagu'. In 1297 the Earl of Warrenne and Surry to the English King refers to 'Glasgeu' in another letter from the same Earl it becomes 'Glascu'. In a letter from Hugh de Cressingham in 1297 to the King of England it has the spelling 'Glasgu'. In the Charter of 1324 by Robert the 3rd it is written as 'Glasgw'. Another Charter of 1419 by John Stewart, Lord Darnley has it as 'Glaschow'. Yet again the spelling changes in the will of Archbishop Betoun where he refers to himself as Archeuesque de Glasco. <br /> </p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b>Origins of the name</b> <br /><br /> It is generally accepted the name is not from Gaelic, as at the time of its formation this area was a Welsh settlement. It is probably from the Welsh 'Glas', and 'cu' or 'gu'; translates as 'Beloved Green Place' and is referring to the spot where Kentigern met Columba thus Kentigern becoming the Patron Saint of Glasgow. </p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b>Radical Glasgow. </b><br /><br />Mention Glasgow and various stereotypes jump to mind, dreadful slums, hard drinking, random violence, razor gangs, shipbuilding, locomotive makers and other heavy industries. What else is written about the city usually refers to captains of industry, architects, inventors, and medical men of note. Scratch the surface however, and you find another Glasgow with a long tradition, the real Glasgow, 'Radical Glasgow'. <br /><br /> Glasgow can boast of a long tradition of radical movements growing from the ranks of ordinary people. People struggling not only to improve their own conditions but that of all working class people. <br /><br /> Glasgow can lay claim to a series of firsts. Besides being the birthplace of the 'European Temperance Movement', the following are just some other firsts that can be added to its roll of honour: Birth of the Scottish Labour Movement. <br /> First effective trade unions formed. <br /> First trade union papers printed. <br /> Scottish Co-op movement first established. <br /> Scottish Labour Party founded. <br /> First Trades Council in Scotland. <br />History of Glasgow Green <br /><br /> The Glasgow Green has always been a focal point for the people of Glasgow and a cradle of social movements throughout its history. The following list is but a hint at the history of the Green: Through the 1700 and 1800s, the various reform movements. <br /> Pre-1914, the woman’s suffrage movements. <br /> 1916, rent strikes. <br /> 1938 anti-fascist movements. <br /> 1971 U.C.S. crisis. <br /> 1984 miner’s strike. <br /> </p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b>Conclusion</b> <br /><br /> Both the above lists could be expanded depending where you place your focus, and no doubt will continue to expand as the people of Glasgow go on to face new challenges. <br /> I hope the following articles give at least some insight into that other Glasgow, the Glasgow that does not always find its story in the mainstream literature about the city, but is the true heart of the City of Glasgow, the city of compassion and vision. </p><p style="text-align: justify;">This article was lifted from Strugglepedia at <b><a href="https://spiritofrevolt.info" target="_blank">https://spiritofrevolt.info </a></b></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b></b></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkB7xmpSw0gtoJ2YaO_LG-fCh5wM0vJ-YddSViL3PRXWVoTstMCVxkymFlT4icvC1UAw4wPRjKQOrGLydSL1YxF0Yu_G3yExECzl9OotoViZ_v_kVNZM8NUPEQKYiVpAz28azoeI4J3nNi7uRZn_tFAl_k-ZJAj30pUm9pFA6JoRCeO9pl57SFo3imn9A/s1024/the%20greenA.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1024" data-original-width="768" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkB7xmpSw0gtoJ2YaO_LG-fCh5wM0vJ-YddSViL3PRXWVoTstMCVxkymFlT4icvC1UAw4wPRjKQOrGLydSL1YxF0Yu_G3yExECzl9OotoViZ_v_kVNZM8NUPEQKYiVpAz28azoeI4J3nNi7uRZn_tFAl_k-ZJAj30pUm9pFA6JoRCeO9pl57SFo3imn9A/w300-h400/the%20greenA.jpg" width="300" /></a></b></div><b><br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiT_uZv8vOLOyCHs8u_4cbNPPD6foM6j58n3Se68U_Hu5RKIzSq-h_D-c-3H6KaSLv62lZslBN9VGQwjbrFMg4rVNedV-VKB9CnJOx3Y70DUBL1EffMY1SUTGEniqf_VkXkWQIaHN0DX329IdEymEA4SoiQnOXvcMMlYRIdPc0kA7nYbPxPkyu5TQMSiMU/s320/Anarchist%20banner.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="200" data-original-width="320" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiT_uZv8vOLOyCHs8u_4cbNPPD6foM6j58n3Se68U_Hu5RKIzSq-h_D-c-3H6KaSLv62lZslBN9VGQwjbrFMg4rVNedV-VKB9CnJOx3Y70DUBL1EffMY1SUTGEniqf_VkXkWQIaHN0DX329IdEymEA4SoiQnOXvcMMlYRIdPc0kA7nYbPxPkyu5TQMSiMU/s1600/Anarchist%20banner.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /></b>Visit ann arky at<b><a href="https://spiritofrevolt.info" target="_blank"> https://spiritofrevolt.info</a></b><br /><p></p><p style="text-align: left;"></p>ann arkyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06922062627756737185noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3186608697830229050.post-58568220012144080842024-02-04T17:07:00.001+00:002024-02-04T17:07:49.629+00:00Veganism!!<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3haCHNQDZR8tpBRid4TEjJFGeCV1hG1udZOMZWYxsW2GwT8qmN0BDWbVtjMhPEomZqxWKwF4oVLK6huNAF0StLa-tsruF2gU8jIaqgfkPiV4_by22x7zDgEXtfFdFufJAK3Eqwuok2n7FQqmrK0clE8VvfQwZW_hBLnQW_hI5aMDjD_xXn4lQapOOCM4/s320/Anarchist%20header.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="62" data-original-width="320" height="62" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3haCHNQDZR8tpBRid4TEjJFGeCV1hG1udZOMZWYxsW2GwT8qmN0BDWbVtjMhPEomZqxWKwF4oVLK6huNAF0StLa-tsruF2gU8jIaqgfkPiV4_by22x7zDgEXtfFdFufJAK3Eqwuok2n7FQqmrK0clE8VvfQwZW_hBLnQW_hI5aMDjD_xXn4lQapOOCM4/s1600/Anarchist%20header.jpg" width="320" /></a></div> <p></p><p style="text-align: justify;"> <b><a href="https://spiritofrevolt.info" target="_blank">Spirit of Revolt c</a></b>ontinues with its Thursday evening open night.

It is because the system is built to ensure that's the way it goes. You can put it under several titles, a cull on the poor, class war, plundering of the poor, re-capitalising the corporate system, but no matter the label, the result is poverty and deprivation for the many and opulence for the few. What that entails for the vast majority on this planet is early avoidable deaths, ill health, stunted youth, lack of social service for the needy and a daily struggle for a half decent life. It is not that there isn't enough to go round, it is the fact that money and profit determine distribution, human need doesn't appear on the radar screen. This economic system of insanity is a human devised system and it is up to the majority of humanity to dismantle it as rapidly as possible, or our future generations will sink further into the mire of deprivation, ill health and early death. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqHL5v70R5m1_vIOj5OyoPCKTw9mMnkbcLMB4eGGvhEK0mK0QTPwyUjec5Pdy8QDmCndvw0HsfrZP4O56JUMie0r_d6gFQI4-K6aHxM-3Uk1uWllAk0nwsqMzct-zsgjqUUgFwjH194OGiabWAz2GZAfX8AKjixw5CW_ZX75NhPPWysSqiwcfJvYxtaxk/s960/Richer.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="960" data-original-width="767" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqHL5v70R5m1_vIOj5OyoPCKTw9mMnkbcLMB4eGGvhEK0mK0QTPwyUjec5Pdy8QDmCndvw0HsfrZP4O56JUMie0r_d6gFQI4-K6aHxM-3Uk1uWllAk0nwsqMzct-zsgjqUUgFwjH194OGiabWAz2GZAfX8AKjixw5CW_ZX75NhPPWysSqiwcfJvYxtaxk/w320-h400/Richer.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEik65u99EP2wLzbHTZuswrSjigsi4Cb6JCJUJp_4f_q4FbXBGjT5eymWfoTcdzRRmAb00ThpAKAgdEg7M4-yljjvwgHq_A_XHz5toL7nCF9TjcW3kuBTXkUG99zY-IZ6ZKMevYxE7fvO-sVMPnGQ7-kvAKvgAkp5znwwXYjnaK0ux_LOrQNFbMXzM1LD7s/s320/Anarchist%20banner.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="200" data-original-width="320" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEik65u99EP2wLzbHTZuswrSjigsi4Cb6JCJUJp_4f_q4FbXBGjT5eymWfoTcdzRRmAb00ThpAKAgdEg7M4-yljjvwgHq_A_XHz5toL7nCF9TjcW3kuBTXkUG99zY-IZ6ZKMevYxE7fvO-sVMPnGQ7-kvAKvgAkp5znwwXYjnaK0ux_LOrQNFbMXzM1LD7s/s1600/Anarchist%20banner.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>Visit ann arky at <b><a href="https://spiritofrevolt.info">https://spiritofrevolt.info</a> </b>ann arkyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06922062627756737185noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3186608697830229050.post-4538635262612626782024-01-16T16:25:00.004+00:002024-01-16T16:40:51.748+00:00Organise Now.<p style="text-align: justify;"> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoplU27GllR2cgNjybQwYzrmLM9GXTEmQiOzNks3g5XPaPBXznqmXjiUAQv97S-yO04JZiHnv-yqG6Xc648ZQuDrBO2ntVaNvAoufRvlrMGENJ4JghLPDjACn-5M2b9I9RD0EXSvMlbAAwvqz55fZsqJUhIjMqDKd4z1K4PMjZU5AY8UTA1NdchXkWca8/s320/Anarchist%20header.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="62" data-original-width="320" height="62" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoplU27GllR2cgNjybQwYzrmLM9GXTEmQiOzNks3g5XPaPBXznqmXjiUAQv97S-yO04JZiHnv-yqG6Xc648ZQuDrBO2ntVaNvAoufRvlrMGENJ4JghLPDjACn-5M2b9I9RD0EXSvMlbAAwvqz55fZsqJUhIjMqDKd4z1K4PMjZU5AY8UTA1NdchXkWca8/s1600/Anarchist%20header.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p></p><p style="text-align: justify;"> </p><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioqkgrKnaRN60mf6956UKw0WuDMCwB11hFVSWgF_BpyYN0wuZDqx7AUqoJ1bcNSbe3XLrOVA13XJ7pYDzBopilPFX-z6lp2DlX7lqFJ_94knPVotBctds3GxODrDVfN9L11sOYD1jxwAMcAlyZu0INOQxZi676gM0whZfMdpwLXyoLfnpYodSrKZGy_O0/s685/Keelie%2045A.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="478" data-original-width="685" height="279" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioqkgrKnaRN60mf6956UKw0WuDMCwB11hFVSWgF_BpyYN0wuZDqx7AUqoJ1bcNSbe3XLrOVA13XJ7pYDzBopilPFX-z6lp2DlX7lqFJ_94knPVotBctds3GxODrDVfN9L11sOYD1jxwAMcAlyZu0INOQxZi676gM0whZfMdpwLXyoLfnpYodSrKZGy_O0/w400-h279/Keelie%2045A.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><p><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;"> A bit late with this, the Kellie 45 has been out for about a week. Why is this important? perhaps because we are facing a possible Armageddon as the genocide in Gaza continues unabated with the blessing of most of the Western puppets of the imperial U$A empire. An empire of psychopaths who arrogantly believe they have the right to rule the world and plunder where and when they want. They have done so with impunity since the end of WW2. However, their power is slipping away and being psychopaths, they won't let that happen without a suicidal fight, using the devastating nuclear arsenal at their disposal, no matter the consequences to millions upon millions of innocent civilians. <br /> So it is of the utmost importance the papers such as the Keelie are on the streets, in the workplaces, in the communities trying to impress on everyone with peace and well being on their mind to come out onto the streets, to organise in their communities to come together in their workplaces and stop this genocidal, suicide by the power crazy psychopaths who it this moment in time hold the reins of power. It is up to us to seize those reins of power for the sake of all humanity. Get out there, get your Keellie at demos, street meetings, peace events, pickets and be part of the fight back for sanity and humanity.</p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEb-HA_Cks0-qqq63e1EO_xFHMxZZcwjfFZsF9KIpH8mYPc0gwqZqwBNmjVEKE3rPhkq3DIyAeDs4FSY0MDpnHYykW7jl8TzV4DOnl-zKbh-Xpz57_m9oFge2Y8ARVhE3c-WstOLF-NYT4fEFEAzZquY5Y5I-hQwdxxVjIBjWbETIyu9SLkVW1vPHexMY/s680/Keelie45B.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="487" data-original-width="680" height="286" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEb-HA_Cks0-qqq63e1EO_xFHMxZZcwjfFZsF9KIpH8mYPc0gwqZqwBNmjVEKE3rPhkq3DIyAeDs4FSY0MDpnHYykW7jl8TzV4DOnl-zKbh-Xpz57_m9oFge2Y8ARVhE3c-WstOLF-NYT4fEFEAzZquY5Y5I-hQwdxxVjIBjWbETIyu9SLkVW1vPHexMY/w400-h286/Keelie45B.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0UO1CecD-aJwfjiUUQi3kesf16F4vU93f2KYFFtOVq4pepRs23qDOqzshof7DqN_ysTxKdS6DxoCjSg2Do-7Q5Wa2a88xquvERqusxLSqwTtnAQdj_ct0Ezz8NqEgcV2B2OEK9tyuaxCdrEejGspR_j3Sp5VrkLEDp2eiujn67MIwhmmmE6XP3GH9-0k/s320/Anarchist%20banner.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="200" data-original-width="320" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0UO1CecD-aJwfjiUUQi3kesf16F4vU93f2KYFFtOVq4pepRs23qDOqzshof7DqN_ysTxKdS6DxoCjSg2Do-7Q5Wa2a88xquvERqusxLSqwTtnAQdj_ct0Ezz8NqEgcV2B2OEK9tyuaxCdrEejGspR_j3Sp5VrkLEDp2eiujn67MIwhmmmE6XP3GH9-0k/s1600/Anarchist%20banner.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>Visit ann arky at <b><a href="https://spiritofrevolt.info">https://spiritofrevolt.info</a> </b><br /><p></p><p></p>ann arkyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06922062627756737185noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3186608697830229050.post-4434431749571975822024-01-08T21:07:00.009+00:002024-01-08T21:14:17.060+00:00It's NO righ'.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicLO5jmEe5hgBKS6EuI_27AueN5xC1vxNwyjVXQmB2Ev112MTR-b_f-NO23wwTi4x0qBzOD6Ga_VSHADl6bSuy5zXbEd-nVvzGWla2NEz6ZuavWp7oslLf6sNtN3-WeD4MKMVemvxodvOCR4f4UwaNoebV7Oao6Yc_munG0YfPLQw63ZBwHHmE1nnPJcg/s320/Anarchist%20header.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="62" data-original-width="320" height="62" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicLO5jmEe5hgBKS6EuI_27AueN5xC1vxNwyjVXQmB2Ev112MTR-b_f-NO23wwTi4x0qBzOD6Ga_VSHADl6bSuy5zXbEd-nVvzGWla2NEz6ZuavWp7oslLf6sNtN3-WeD4MKMVemvxodvOCR4f4UwaNoebV7Oao6Yc_munG0YfPLQw63ZBwHHmE1nnPJcg/s1600/Anarchist%20header.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgW8tGz54DXD_lAkA8AKhiWSMoHzXvG5v20ti2zi-SFWvB9yBn02UtoElxbgWoHwO2TJmaaCs6wqwTv9viP9NT4ULVIgaunv7sE-f44vnSxIOl1qNxlg5CGF9BxWFTpKwIkOBZCG3Zj9g5v0YoPbo-jQW-UE95eLeo1tc5hyaF-im93phMqlV8kSjEhZeg/s320/yacht%201.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="180" data-original-width="320" height="225" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgW8tGz54DXD_lAkA8AKhiWSMoHzXvG5v20ti2zi-SFWvB9yBn02UtoElxbgWoHwO2TJmaaCs6wqwTv9viP9NT4ULVIgaunv7sE-f44vnSxIOl1qNxlg5CGF9BxWFTpKwIkOBZCG3Zj9g5v0YoPbo-jQW-UE95eLeo1tc5hyaF-im93phMqlV8kSjEhZeg/w400-h225/yacht%201.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><b><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=Dd7fSGzL3PY&ab_channel=RestrictedSpotterMonaco" target="_blank">Image courtesy of Youtube.</a></b></span><br /></div><div><p></p><div style="text-align: left;"><div style="text-align: justify;"> It all flows under the bridge like a river in spate, inequality, greed and the rip-off society. Though some things are glaringly obvious, they always seem to get away with it, as they sip their champagne. One such glaring inequality that will pass without a ripple is the recently released fact that in the first 3 days of this year 2024, FTSE 100 bosses earned the annual average UK salary. If the average annual salary is enough to live on then these FTSE bosses should retire for the rest of the year. However, they wont, they.ll keep the rip-off cash rolling into their already fat bank accounts, pension funds and other tax dodging ventures, they can never get enough, their greed is insatiable. <br /> Another glaring greedy grasp that will pass without a ripple, while millions struggle to heat their homes and feed their family, is the fact the the boss of Bet365, one Denise Coates will see her pay check leap to £221 million. I know she feels she needs that sort of salary to allow her to live her self indulgent worthless life style, all paid for by all those how try to make a little extra cash, to help them out.<br /> When will we ever learn, we struggle while these rip-off merchants plunder every penny of the wealth that we the population create, and it us that creates every nut and bolt, every truck load, every building ever created, every ship and all their bounteous cargo, all fashioned and built by our hands, only to see it plundered by the parasite class that we carry on our shoulders.<br /></div>

A society where the corporate world dictates the shape of the economic distribution of wealth and our political Ballerinas always dance to their tune. The Tories, the ballerinas on stage at the moment, spout that they are the party of tax cuts, and this is supposed to make you and I feel good, when in fact it just makes less tax revenue available for the social fabric of our society and the poorest will carry that burden. The latest in tax cuts is inheritance tax, so how much do you think you will save by this "generous" Tory action? Well here is a sample of how those savings work out. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCM0I3-xX6ftgIh39Swo0StqimJgN2hlSF5hiYCZYM3Syh9q-plyv_9OgPRbQCMnyLKuAsPjBr-r7H6cHnKTB1QF2H8zJydfjSDL8osvaCpo0aGrArmkVL8BNPKqZTclNQJrnrVYxQ6pOYwImt7avj2XJl_lvDDHFaOdhlfjBxvgwLqr2IL9kzU3HMTHw/s680/Inheritance%20tax.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="680" data-original-width="538" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCM0I3-xX6ftgIh39Swo0StqimJgN2hlSF5hiYCZYM3Syh9q-plyv_9OgPRbQCMnyLKuAsPjBr-r7H6cHnKTB1QF2H8zJydfjSDL8osvaCpo0aGrArmkVL8BNPKqZTclNQJrnrVYxQ6pOYwImt7avj2XJl_lvDDHFaOdhlfjBxvgwLqr2IL9kzU3HMTHw/w316-h400/Inheritance%20tax.jpg" width="316" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"> Rishi Sunak £282m<br /> Jacob Rees-Mogg £60m <br />David Cameron £16m <br />Jeremy Hunt £6m <br />James Cleverly £3.5m <br />96% of people £0<br /> </div><div style="text-align: justify;"> While the system protects the wealth of the very rich and turns a blind eye to tax avoidance, it has decided that it will now snoop on the bank details of the poorest and most vulnerable. Data Protection and Digital Information Bill gives government unhindered access to bank accounts of 22.4m people. No court order is needed, government does not have to notify anyone. Be afraid, very afraid. Our liberties are vanishing like an early morning mist.<br /> Our political ballerinas have now dictated that our energy bills will rise by 5% this coming term. Can this be justified when we consider that one energy company, Scottish Power, managed £487 million in profit for year 2022, a considerable jump compared to the previous year. Just another step in the plundering of the poor for corporate profit. The system continues to push more and more people into poverty and the resultant misery and deaths that these actions bring with them. <i><span style="color: #666666;"><blockquote> When society places hundreds of proletarians in such a position that they inevitably meet a too early and an unnatural death, one which is quite as much a death by violence as that by the sword or bullet; when it deprives thousands of the necessaries of life, places them under conditions in which they cannot live – forces them, through the strong arm of the law, to remain in such conditions until that death ensues which is the inevitable consequence – knows that these thousands of victims must perish, and yet permits these conditions to remain, its deed is murder.

We could start locally, the rising child poverty in the UK, increasing hardship on families due to rocketing mortgages, and food prices, the increase in homelessness, and rough sleeping, the collapsing health system by government agenda, to drive it in to the hands of large corporations to let them make millions for the suffering of ordinary people, the crumbling education system. All of these are a brutal indictment of a system that has miserable failed to see to the needs of people of this country.<br /> However, all this fades into insignificance when we look at what the American empire and its cronies are doing in supporting the genocide taking place in Gaza under the the hands of the psychopathic Zionist nutcases sitting in the Israeli government. A deranged bunch of insane religious headbangers who believe they are special, the chosen people and have the right to ethnic cleanse the country of Palestine because their wee mythical man in the sky gave them this land more than 2,000 years ago. Insanity and religious fantasy as government policy. What is more shocking, that the leaders of the so called developed West go along with this savage insanity. Instead of their humanity, which they all seem to lack, instead of calling for a ceasefire to this brutal genocide, they bleat on about more humanitarian aid instead of a ceasefire, WHY, do they believe that the Palestinians must be well fed and looked after before they are slaughtered?</div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4vxR3mxqzRWQaGGaiH46klS113Doo4zUrWDxzlglpioYs0bRBfl-bZzRWfGF4upkh90c3IGVKcrwbglKZhfkCaUHMLkme_iXPWPFdBgU0OMut3yyjbQNKn9js1QixZFLoaeFMMmFTSLV9sJevB4pQ6oispJbfJJHhtSlqdFMa4nOcKmSU2VhlCvUB54s/s1280/insane.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="720" data-original-width="1280" height="225" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4vxR3mxqzRWQaGGaiH46klS113Doo4zUrWDxzlglpioYs0bRBfl-bZzRWfGF4upkh90c3IGVKcrwbglKZhfkCaUHMLkme_iXPWPFdBgU0OMut3yyjbQNKn9js1QixZFLoaeFMMmFTSLV9sJevB4pQ6oispJbfJJHhtSlqdFMa4nOcKmSU2VhlCvUB54s/w400-h225/insane.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><b><a href="https://eu.northjersey.com/story/opinion/2021/07/09/jewish-opposition-israeli-oppression-palestinians-growing/7874371002/" target="_blank">Image courtesy of North Jersey</a></b></span><br /></div></div><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><div style="text-align: justify;"> Over 21,000 civilians killed in less than three months, more than half of them children.

If we don't record our own history it will disappear and the next generation will have no idea it ever happened. Orwell once stated that the best way to destroy a people was to destroy their history, we should always be wary of that fact. Anarchist archives, libraries and bookshops are our quiet information centres, there for all to see, browse and learn from. Scotland is fortunate that it has <b><a href="https://spiritofrevolt.info" target="_blank">Spirit of Revolt Archives of dissent</a></b>, probably the largest anarchist libertarian socialist archive in Scotland. In England we have <b><a href="https://thesparrowsnest.org.uk/" target="_blank">The Sparrows Nest</a></b>, <b><a href="https://tynesideanarchistarchive.wordpress.com/" target="_blank">Tyneside Anarchist Archive</a></b>, and <b><a href="https://maydayrooms.org/" target="_blank">May Day Rooms</a></b>, all valuable assets of the anarchist world. They say loud and clear, we were here yesterday and we are still here today, and these are our ideas and actions. I believe all anarchist should support these groups for the work they do to further anarchist ideas and preserve our history. So if you like what they are doing, why not support them, buy the a cup of coffee now and again, it would be much appreciated and it would help preserve and enlarge our rich and vibrant history. </p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b> Support our Anarchist Archives and libraries by a small donation.<br /></b></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://spiritofrevolt.info" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="92" data-original-width="183" height="201" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-qUWHsHHS4SGxfIlU1t_lebMSOA1-8jQ_RbpcUOSgLPB8tG5Q3ijBAyTKGPjJMYTiqM4bt_1pGZSlXYX7kOwFdkN-Ne9fcV8BawSlXahBR0VBSCJ5t3O6g0UynpKscryMnPRdf1fqINMx7IPU-xpk5sLlCE4KYD8XTjmWWWxU6VuT_vzWXOVf0nzt1vo/w400-h201/Buy%20a%20coffee.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><p> No doubt there are other anarchist archives and libraries seek them out in your area and support them, let's not forget <b><a href="https://mailchi.mp/b7319f64fae9/september-update-from-the-kate-sharpley-library-6256016?e=729e12cefd" target="_blank">Kate Sharpley.</a></b></p><p><b></b></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzcLo84l2bSi4HyzStCPoPeXSJzOzhSX4OIu0vFYru1n1q-nTRnbHlefm7gmgVKrvgfjM7Yz1OrXzyKXoLxAtOuKygViSywRVZ055DSOzIT1S6ej0f8lJv72mgwWUjjdRfA29oBnxy7l45TX8My722j2kdcHWIUetw7dNHrh3eApIyAHa4E-OnwBgJmZg/s320/Anarchist%20banner.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="200" data-original-width="320" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzcLo84l2bSi4HyzStCPoPeXSJzOzhSX4OIu0vFYru1n1q-nTRnbHlefm7gmgVKrvgfjM7Yz1OrXzyKXoLxAtOuKygViSywRVZ055DSOzIT1S6ej0f8lJv72mgwWUjjdRfA29oBnxy7l45TX8My722j2kdcHWIUetw7dNHrh3eApIyAHa4E-OnwBgJmZg/s1600/Anarchist%20banner.jpg" width="320" /></a></b></div><br />Visit ann arky at <b><a href="https://spiritofrevolt.info" target="_blank">https://spiritofrevolt.info </a> </b> <br /><p></p>ann arkyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06922062627756737185noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3186608697830229050.post-5496028351351852812023-12-23T18:56:00.004+00:002023-12-23T18:57:05.540+00:00Disabled rip off.<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgITn2UGscowLUKrfA5bQMo5rf9Cdx8uh9C-MM5IZLNFFoRvN4Z53RBBTCP-VM9ah4bbwNPzY0GRSe3O9De3uRaMmONXD_FXrzYGjo2CONT4ngUwUZ8r7k0qp935x-pPxOiei2qL-iVVuR19rDYm9SqkKAXaxlPFrUV9bg2LmUujkfKv1O6KaiDdOvikA/s320/Anarchist%20header.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="62" data-original-width="320" height="62" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgITn2UGscowLUKrfA5bQMo5rf9Cdx8uh9C-MM5IZLNFFoRvN4Z53RBBTCP-VM9ah4bbwNPzY0GRSe3O9De3uRaMmONXD_FXrzYGjo2CONT4ngUwUZ8r7k0qp935x-pPxOiei2qL-iVVuR19rDYm9SqkKAXaxlPFrUV9bg2LmUujkfKv1O6KaiDdOvikA/s1600/Anarchist%20header.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsY8cRklfgBOk2TSrs4ZZqa-wMlTLhVbUB-nNu8p88h6pbcOWX2O9PFoZsvEExLaG8rmtdkIEH2tJLU8xp_ohsRCN5-5k_6Wr_aKzN7DXFr8gaHGlsQmxvux250UvSsKUlgMMdNKRHBMHNMwNlNX8JEbFwZy_HHcDHAtOefEQY-hScktg9WAB1cMhKclc/s2048/Disabled1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1365" data-original-width="2048" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsY8cRklfgBOk2TSrs4ZZqa-wMlTLhVbUB-nNu8p88h6pbcOWX2O9PFoZsvEExLaG8rmtdkIEH2tJLU8xp_ohsRCN5-5k_6Wr_aKzN7DXFr8gaHGlsQmxvux250UvSsKUlgMMdNKRHBMHNMwNlNX8JEbFwZy_HHcDHAtOefEQY-hScktg9WAB1cMhKclc/w400-h266/Disabled1.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><p></p><p> I<span style="font-size: x-small;"><b><a href="https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/christmas-appeal-the-children-having-a-ball-learning-moves-they-can-use-for-life-sh5hnjpvn" target="_blank">mage courtesy of The Times.</a></b></span><br /></p><p></p><p></p><p style="text-align: center;"></p><p style="text-align: justify;"> Interested in finding out how the disabled are being ripped off. A friend of mine who uses an electric wheelchair had a problem with its battery. A simple problem, the connector on the battery that attaches to the power lead to charge the battery had fallen inside, so he couldn't charge the battery. First stop, Mobility Scotland, Hawthorn St. Glasgow. Rather cold and silent environment. asked about repair and they said "Yes". Enquiring about how long would it take, was informed that there are 18 in front of his repair and it could take about 5 weeks. A long time to go without your wheel chair, unless you are prepared to buy a spare battery. Asked about the cost. £60 to book it in, £50 per hour to asses the repair, $50 per hour to do the repair, plus any parts that might be needed. My friend left with his battery. Phoned the company that makes his chair and they recommend a place in Paisley called AbleWorld. Went there and was welcomed with a cheery and informative assistant. Asked about the repair, and they said, it doesn't look to difficult and would probably cost around £10. There were 5 repairs in front and could take a week but since it seems a simple repair the engineer might slip it in when he can. He left the battery and two days later got a call to say that its ready, they had to fit a new part and the cost would be £20. Who do you think is ripping off disabled people? Now my advice to any wheelchair users, electric or other wise is to head to AbleWorld in Paisley for a welcoming reasonable priced conclusion to their problem. <b><a href="https://paisley.ableworld.co.uk/" target="_blank"> https://paisley.ableworld.co.uk/ </a></b></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b></b></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLkoca4MnVK_yZvIHrEaoK4wU7sfav27yFQVhgLvlqB9DXyakBqfB_Yf1pTFb_vZ4di4xOgjYiGYhuh-SKCAHVdjLGl5OgS87YKQw0DxhnVteoJKlb465pSQ8rozLPLzQJHBc7RFUVHQRWm8P17dtHIhbg8vLgUJYDcPHA5-BeNMnLYG952M1_zaTWY7U/s580/disabled2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="435" data-original-width="580" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLkoca4MnVK_yZvIHrEaoK4wU7sfav27yFQVhgLvlqB9DXyakBqfB_Yf1pTFb_vZ4di4xOgjYiGYhuh-SKCAHVdjLGl5OgS87YKQw0DxhnVteoJKlb465pSQ8rozLPLzQJHBc7RFUVHQRWm8P17dtHIhbg8vLgUJYDcPHA5-BeNMnLYG952M1_zaTWY7U/w400-h300/disabled2.jpg" width="400" /></a></b></div><p></p><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhX3O89gY8crZP4omT6i_pE4Ai47RpvcnSE_LW7bgdBOotVojgUFtDNGq9kzjIYrwiNiUzsg4hzg5SXC103Dr56n12Ovf2qV46nXP7jVcBQ3yy7oX63Q_7131TLmCEl3CErRj-V8nW7DsJaMkXQFPY9nA4rfdE4d7pFt9FC2o_nM60LMDSUKvv7uqFB4SU/s320/Anarchist%20banner.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="200" data-original-width="320" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhX3O89gY8crZP4omT6i_pE4Ai47RpvcnSE_LW7bgdBOotVojgUFtDNGq9kzjIYrwiNiUzsg4hzg5SXC103Dr56n12Ovf2qV46nXP7jVcBQ3yy7oX63Q_7131TLmCEl3CErRj-V8nW7DsJaMkXQFPY9nA4rfdE4d7pFt9FC2o_nM60LMDSUKvv7uqFB4SU/s1600/Anarchist%20banner.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>Visit ann arky at <b><a href="https://spiritofrevolt.info">https://spiritofrevolt.info</a> </b><br /><p></p>ann arkyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06922062627756737185noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3186608697830229050.post-81040232733464993192023-12-06T12:00:00.004+00:002023-12-06T12:08:20.562+00:00Memories.<div><p style="text-align: justify;"> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3R_-vRL6C4tB4pgks7RPK2KofBDmbJJJFqcKZYhD9h6uPtlTxrs5eVa1I3Suvrd2ArzMZAtE7hxMQgbEEajhqAL0UiDNB-wsTO4B6tPgU3MgQQMzZmXB_9Vx7S7BphmNDGoj54UMlhnS9YosG6nmF7fYmy6LYzM8d8F8dCgyHO6LfBKveaGgc00LJPMc/s320/Anarchist%20header.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="62" data-original-width="320" height="62" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3R_-vRL6C4tB4pgks7RPK2KofBDmbJJJFqcKZYhD9h6uPtlTxrs5eVa1I3Suvrd2ArzMZAtE7hxMQgbEEajhqAL0UiDNB-wsTO4B6tPgU3MgQQMzZmXB_9Vx7S7BphmNDGoj54UMlhnS9YosG6nmF7fYmy6LYzM8d8F8dCgyHO6LfBKveaGgc00LJPMc/s1600/Anarchist%20header.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /> <br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"> One thing the political ballerinas that frequent those Westminster Houses of Hypocrisy and Corruption, seem to forget, is that old people have memories, the older, the more memories. As I approach my 90th birthday, I was born in a room and kitchen, 294 Charles street in 1934, in the slum then known as Garngad, or "the good and the bad". I don't remember much about the Garngad, I left when I was 5 and we were moved to what was know as the "slum clearances". However I remember my mother's stories of those days in the 30s. How the word would go round the district the the "Means Test" men were in the area. As soon as she heard that, if she had a loaf of bread she would half it and hide half and some other bits of food, or she could be questioned as to how she could have a loaf of bread mid week, was she as poor as she was claiming. Her brother, my uncle Willie, long term unemployed, would visit her for a chat and a cup of tea. As soon as it was know the "Means Test" men were in the area, she would usher him out the door, wash his cup and put it away. Otherwise the questioning would be, "was he paying as a lodger" if she could feed him, was she as poor as she was claiming and her benefit could be cut. The deprivation and injustice of the 30s are well documented.</div><p></p><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbXXxXFnmmto5ZqLoM8_bo-ACdm9wKoEo2ISnRj7qdxcCkMKkF2_EVurrPkF-zcCrpP-YoRR5RsFsNPmsOuu65TJJXcH_Rqsa1zFJLx7hxqs9hN_BqkF6XoGcjbASPRRl8fR8xvfw0iosOSWyE1FtU8mTDcd_aA1HZkx60sG-pGJAayuNS5hU1OdksICQ/s976/Poor1.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="549" data-original-width="976" height="225" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbXXxXFnmmto5ZqLoM8_bo-ACdm9wKoEo2ISnRj7qdxcCkMKkF2_EVurrPkF-zcCrpP-YoRR5RsFsNPmsOuu65TJJXcH_Rqsa1zFJLx7hxqs9hN_BqkF6XoGcjbASPRRl8fR8xvfw0iosOSWyE1FtU8mTDcd_aA1HZkx60sG-pGJAayuNS5hU1OdksICQ/w400-h225/Poor1.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><span style="font-size: x-small;"><b> <a href="https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-66360501" target="_blank">Image courtesy of BBC</a></b></span><br /><p></p><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /> One of my earliest memories from our new home top flat in a tenement in Avonspark Street, is from the early 40s, I remember looking out our "living room" window, which over looked the large estate called Barronhill, it was run as a poorshouse for men. I would watch as individuals in their conspicuous grey parish suit, yes we used to give the homeless men a suit, a rough course material not meant for comfort or style, but to last, and that was during WW2. as they walked aimlessly round the path which surrounded a large green, never in pairs, always individually. They moved slowly, never moved their arms, they just hung by their sides or in their pocket, the head was usually dropped forward. Perhaps trying to remember, or trying to forget.

So they plundered the public purse of billions of our tax payers money and handed it to big businesses, to "grow the economy". The only growth we will see is in shareholders bonuses, CEO bonuses and salaries and business profits, it may create a few more jobs. Of course luxury yacht makers and makers of large limousines will also do very well. That was a political choice, they could have chosen to put those billions of tax payers money into social service, NHS and education, in this insane economic illusion, that according to the right wing political ballerinas would have been creating a nanny state, much better it give our money to their cronies in big business, of course don't expect anything different from the so called Labour side of this con-trick. Why do we tolerate this continual shafting of the ordinary people by a small minority for the benefit of the very rich and powerful few. Perhaps we should remember that we the ordinary people create every nut and bolt, every piece of wealth on the planet, and we have the power to change this economic insanity to a fair and just system that see to the needs of all our people.

Well the report quoted above is just one of the reasons, and then there is the report that the one that holds the presidency of the Cop pantomime UAE is organising to ramp up oil production. It starts to make you wonder what they are all there for. Then of course there is our UK duo pantomime act, Sunak and King Charles. Our so dedicated to reducing our carbon footprint, King Charles,whose personal footprint is probably larger than a small village. All those lavish residencies and gardens, all being heated and maintained by an army of servants. His more personal residence fed by an extensive army of servants, cooks and other types of staff. Then there is is army of security and its cavalcade of black limousines that follow him everywhere. All to pander to one man who claims he thinks we need to take climate change more seriously. He could start by moving into a mid terrace house and look after himself and of course get a job in renewable energy. Then we have our £700 million Prime Minister, Sunak, who claims he is leading the green energy charge while merrily throwing out more licences for drilling more oil wells in the North Sea.<br /> Most of all those in attendance at this lavish pantomime live lives of opulence and they fail to see that they are the problem, and are never going to do anything that might in any way damage that lifestyle. We, the ordinary people will have to, not demand change but to be the agents of change, we can't rely on the rich and powerful, to save life on our planet they have too much to lose. </p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgsEGlQiMjAQSggIQ0pl3i1kaIn7279OYFsWmLi5tYkBEjOQ9oxXSRL9UvS3-YHUo6akW_RqoLJgbW39g2Im4V1-PruLclx-QO_8-6Y4MYOVgqyrGwCcgVvEmmZWXxEmnNGYTAUY7LXjtYGJ-jZpDs9Xt8VmYqEJmiydoVc-QNZwYAA4BCxvqA2hiV6Q4/s320/Anarchist%20banner.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="200" data-original-width="320" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgsEGlQiMjAQSggIQ0pl3i1kaIn7279OYFsWmLi5tYkBEjOQ9oxXSRL9UvS3-YHUo6akW_RqoLJgbW39g2Im4V1-PruLclx-QO_8-6Y4MYOVgqyrGwCcgVvEmmZWXxEmnNGYTAUY7LXjtYGJ-jZpDs9Xt8VmYqEJmiydoVc-QNZwYAA4BCxvqA2hiV6Q4/s1600/Anarchist%20banner.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>Visit ann arky at <b><a href="https://spiritofrevolt.info">https://spiritofrevolt.info</a> </b> <br /><p></p></div></div>ann arkyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06922062627756737185noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3186608697830229050.post-55435901136321635992023-12-02T11:56:00.000+00:002023-12-02T11:56:05.419+00:00Wake Up.<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqFrBDuXvTNcDPluXtL0k2XJoTBXM8cVzukE850WeQ26297n0QpOGX_5-yIAnpMDumZvuuTYcOKRaheTaStqQw9wFsJa2d2RMR_ZrB7VncYYuX6MKpY1BgD8owifzXDRVQrvmkDIRWtlvOx_4WNVf0GrNSsLXzr5SO6zkY94jPHLNdkkb9j05X7FpgAbY/s320/Anarchist%20header.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="62" data-original-width="320" height="62" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqFrBDuXvTNcDPluXtL0k2XJoTBXM8cVzukE850WeQ26297n0QpOGX_5-yIAnpMDumZvuuTYcOKRaheTaStqQw9wFsJa2d2RMR_ZrB7VncYYuX6MKpY1BgD8owifzXDRVQrvmkDIRWtlvOx_4WNVf0GrNSsLXzr5SO6zkY94jPHLNdkkb9j05X7FpgAbY/s1600/Anarchist%20header.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><p></p><p> An extract from an <b><a href="https://informationclearinghouse.blog/2023/12/01/israels-savagery-is-so-shocking-its-sometimes-hard-to-take-in/" target="_blank">article by Caitlin Johnstone.</a></b></p><p><b></b></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpUMAvKmCiEElJVp78fGIgGX6VB7g69OaquZzIKQBdO4nUp3Ou20KrK6xj-Pcnq2vXJg2G4YnGrfh0aTrNNUzMFXmqqwLmWk3V8noJRmBsGPj761wwoXcJpqjq7XSimDxn4r5eOghszBTRHvJC7Dzbm5tbUzfPW7F7N0NPk8dHftaYeGKmf2n_h1SX0Ec/s1080/blood%20flag.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="617" data-original-width="1080" height="229" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpUMAvKmCiEElJVp78fGIgGX6VB7g69OaquZzIKQBdO4nUp3Ou20KrK6xj-Pcnq2vXJg2G4YnGrfh0aTrNNUzMFXmqqwLmWk3V8noJRmBsGPj761wwoXcJpqjq7XSimDxn4r5eOghszBTRHvJC7Dzbm5tbUzfPW7F7N0NPk8dHftaYeGKmf2n_h1SX0Ec/w400-h229/blood%20flag.jpg" width="400" /></a></b></div><b> </b><b> </b> <br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><blockquote><i> <span style="color: #666666;"> I’ve been amazed at how much I’ve been sleeping since the ceasefire started; that’s why I haven’t been writing as much.

I cannot imagine what it’s like to be living in the midst of this horror for the last two months, trying to figure out the best way to survive while also grieving the family, friends and neighbors you’re losing along the way. These people have all been deeply traumatized in ways that will haunt them for the rest of their lives, if they survive the violence, disease and deprivation that’s to come.<br />This thing is so astonishingly ugly, and it <b><a href="https://www.aa.com.tr/en/middle-east/israel-to-fight-across-all-of-gaza-after-humanitarian-pause-defense-minister/3066541">could get a whole lot uglier</a></b> after the ceasefire ends.
