What Is Violence.

       Violence should be avoided, but is self defence violence?  Is the state the greatest perpetrator of violence on the planet? Is self defence against the vast state institution of violence, violence or self defence? Violence comes in many shades, from physical, to psychological, suppression of desires is violence, stunting the potential of an individual by avoidable poverty is violence. How should we respond to these acts of violence?

Sub.Media: What is Violence?

        SubMedia offers up another video installment in their A is for Anarchy series. This episode takes on violence, what it means, how it plays out in struggles, daily life, and how it is utilized by the State and forces of domination.

 
       Our societies are heavily dependent on violence to function. While states will attempt to hold a monopoly on violence and constantly find new ways to legitimize their use of force, people struggling against domination can also use violence to confront the hierarchical systems oppressing them. While debates around violence and tactics seem to be revived every time someone decides to fight back, the necessity of physical attacks on power cannot be ignored. So, what is violence exactly, and how does it function in the world?

Colourful Police In Brutal Attack.

 

       Protestors always come up with imaginative ways in getting their point across, in a wonderful array of colourful variations. Of course the police can only respond in one predictable manner, brutal violence. No matter where the police meet protestors, from Nepal to New York, Kazakhstan to Catalonia, the pattern is the same brute force, the shape of modern democrcy.

This from Roar Magazine, thanks Loam for the link:

     Pro-independence protestors and antifa activists clashed with Catalan police at a rally to oppose a manifestation organized by JUSTAPOL (Spanish National Police and Guardia Civil Union) in support of the operation against last year’s referendum on Catalonian independence.

And more on how democracy works in Europe:

On The Streets Of 2017 America.

        Just released, a video of some of the 2017 street events by anarchists in America. By reading that babbling brook of bullshit, the mainstream media, you would get the impression that none of this took place, but all these events could muster  reasonable numbers, a welcome sight.

Who Are They?

          There is an ever increasing number of people who knowingly and deliberately break the rules, ignore the dictates of political party leaders, occupy buildings, turn up at protests, and who at times, according to the establishment, create "mayhem". They go under different banners, but have one aim in mind. The babbling brook of bullshit, our mainstream media, condemns them, and writes a false history regarding them. It paints them as hooligans, bomb throwing thugs, assassins, and worse. Who are they?

The Rebel

Rebel rebel break the rule,

What does it matter that a “wise” man sees a fool.

Not for you the herd’s dull beat

Making tomorrow, yesterday’s repeat,

Living out the life of a clone

Marching with the crowd but always alone.

Shaping your life from some dusty tome

Playing it safe, staying at home.

Rebel rebel break the rule

Swim in the sea, never the pool.

Live your emotions, feel the surge

Follow your dreams, chase the urge.

Make life though short, an exciting game

Not a mad march for fortune or fame.

Capture the moment, live it now

Being alive your only vow.

Rebel rebel break the rule

In the end, you’re humanity’s jewel.

The Mainstream Media, Weaver Of Illusions.

 

         Our perceptions of the world around us, our value structure, our vision of reality, is built on the information we receive. What happens if that information is false? If you rely on the bulk of your information from that babbling brook of bullshit, our mainstream media, the chances are that you will have a false vision of the world around you, a distorted view of reality. The babbling brook of bullshit, the mainstream media, is no more than a propaganda machine for the establishment. It is owned and controlled by a handful of very rich conglomerates, who obviously have a vested interest in protecting their wealth and power. For almost  the last couple of centuries, it has never been a source of accurate information, and it never will be. Those who own the babbling brook of bullshit have an agenda, apart from making money, and that is to shape public opinion, to shape it in favour of their idea of how the world should be run, and to protect that wealth and power.

In the following video, John Pilger lucidly points this out, quoting obvious lies that flourished as "news" and by disclosing facts regarding that babbling brook of bullshit.

When The People Strike Back.

        Well as 2016 draws to a close, I think that one thing we can say about the year, is that it wasn't a quiet year on the streets across the world. Europe, South America, Africa, they all saw people in protest against the established system. What will 2017 bring? It certainly hasn't got any better for the ordinary people of this world, so one should expect the protests to increase in numbers, duration and grow in determination and in anger.

       From the "Fishball Revolution" in Hong Kong to the massive labour reform protests in France, 2016 was a riotous year. The counties included in this edition are Greece, France, Belgium, Italy, Chile, Turkey, Bahrain and South Africa. Music: Funky Shit by The Prodigy

WHEN FIDDLERS FIDDLE FIDDLERS??

     So the banks fiddled the interest rates, wow, that was so unexpected, we always thought that the banking industry, (sorry, wrong word their, it is hardly an industry, more a cabal of gamblers.) was filled with honest, caring, honourable men!!! Then of course there is all this cry from the political class of how much damage their fiddling the rate has done to businesses, but there hasn't been much complaining about the damage they have done to the ordinary people over the last four years. As a matter of fact our political masters have been keen to throw at the banking cabal, all the money they could steal from the public purse, and tell us it was all necessary, no matter how it devastated the lives of ordinary people.

        This latest banking scam is hurting some of those with big money, they lost out a little, when you are shifting about millions of pounds, a little shift in the interest rate can mean a lot of money to you, so that makes it a dreadful crime. They obviously want you to take their side so they throw in a bit about how it affects your mortgage rate. However it was alright when it was foreclosures and evictions, lay-offs and wage freezes/cuts, etc.. In those cases it was mostly ordinary people, so the banks had to be saved. Now they must be cut down to size, how dare they fiddle the rich class and businesses, when there is a multitude of ordinary people that can be screwed. After all the banking cabal, corporate businesses and the political class are supposed to be part of the one cosy little club, and one of their members has been caught cheating his mates. Now that is just not on.
