San Francisco, CA: First public statement by “Brick” from jail

WOS note: We are pleased to announce that this is our 1,000th post!

we receive and publish:

Friends,

Several of us in San Francisco have been supporting Jesse ‘Brick’ Nesbitt since his arrest on May Day. Jesse is an anarchist comrade who has been demonized by the police and media and all but abandoned by the ‘activist community’ of San Francisco because of the audacious nature of the actions he is alleged to have committed in defense of the SF Commune occupation on May first. He has been incarcerated for three months and is currently being imprisoned in San Bruno while awaiting trial. Continue reading

Chile: Summary of days 3 to 5 of trial against Luciano Tortuga

 from vla, transl wos:

The trial began with the testimony and questioning of the security guard of the building where Luciano’s brother lives. While this witness recognized Luciano as the brother of the apartment’s owner, he was not able to recognize the motorcycle they showed him (the motorcycle that Luciano supposedly took), recognizing the color but not the model. He did not see the license plate, nor was he there at the time when Luciano supposedly took the bike from the building. The defense made him responsible for making this situation clear.

Chile: Summary of the first two days of trial against Luciano “Tortuga”

from negratortuguita, transl waronsociety:

The trial started on Friday, July 20th, in the justice center. Below we reproduce the summary made by Viva la Anarquia.

PUNISHMENT

We learned that our compa has been punished by the jailers and in isolation since Thursday the 19th. We learned this thanks to the fact that his lawyer was going to visit him and found him handcuffed to his bed, and demanded (during the hearing) explanations for the punishment. The judges in turn requested the prison guards to give the explanations in a maximum period of 24 hours. Continue reading

St. Louis: Communique for attack on police van in solidarity with Northwest comrades

from anews:

In the early morning of July 27th in a Metro East St Louis city, Edwardsville, Illinois, the parking lot across the street from the Edwardsville Police Department was visited with knives and spraypaint. Although we left the hammers at home this time and despite us only deciding on spraypaint, we arose to the call of international solidarity with our small action of spraypainting “Stop Northwest FBI Oppression” on the St Louis City Police Department Probation van. The only reason other vehicles of pig mobility weren’t attacked as well was only because their pig cars were out oppressing others. We saw their red and blue pig lights illuminating prison bars down Main Street and were filled with disappointment until finding the remaining probation van. We are promising one action a week, and as oppression intensifies so will our actions. Actually, hell with it, if this northwest FBI oppression bullshit doesn’t just end we will intensify our actions. Continue reading

This an international call out for solidarity actions on behalf of all those facing the repression of the grand juries, fbi, and joint-terrorism task force in the Pacific Northwest.* All of these incidents are related to the Grand Jury that will Occur in Seattle on August 2nd.

from liberaciontotal, transl waronsociety:

On Wednesday July 11, 2012, the comrade Mario López underwent surgical intervention in the Rubén Leñero Hospital of Mexico City, in order to graft skin onto his leg due to the burns he suffered, this meant delaying his transfer at least until this weekend to the Southern Prison–where he had been interned.

Mexico: An indomitable salute to the comrades Tripa and Felicity

from 325, transl waronsociety:

Health and strength, comrades. It is what you need most in this hour.

Compañero Tripa, you know that we will always be with you and we will recall you in every action of the daily conflict we have chosen in order to take freedom in our hands.
Because we like you have anarchy in our guts,* you are and will be that feeling in the stomach that the rebels feel in every act of disobedience against authority. Because unlike some others, we do not play at revolution, and we don’t ask for permission to be free, we understand that anarchy is a position, a tension toward freedom that lives day by day, a rebellion against this world that reduces us to commodities. Solidarians with the solidarian, in spite of everything, anarchists of all tendencies are coming forward for you; going out and vindicating you cannot mean anything other than a conviction to the struggle that no one can deny your commitment to. Felicity, compañera, we are with you, we will be the shadow that accompanies you in your dignified escape, always alert and always firm, do not let this poisonous air penetrate your convictions, always proud, always anarchist. Power’s lies do not corrupt the minds of the honest. Continue reading

August 2nd: Call for demo in solidarity with comrades subpoenaed to grand jury in Seattle

from anews:

This is a regional call-out for a solidarity demo at the Seattle federal courthouse, 700 Stuart St., starting at 7:30am and going throughout the day, to show support for the comrades being stripped of any sembalence of rights in what is known as a grand jury. Comrades from the cities targeted and beyond should make the trip to Seattle so we can show the state how we feel about grand juries. We need as many people to come out as we can, to not only show the people facing the grand jury that we support them in their struggle against state oppression but to show the state that we will always resist their attempts at co-optation and destruction of our movements of social revolution. Continue reading

Bloomington, IN: Noise Demonstration in Solidarity with PNW Rebels

from pugetsoundanarchists:

After a small anti-repression assembly in Bloomington (less than 20 people), there was a spontaneous solidarity noise demo at the Monroe County Jail. The same chants as usual, reflecting the fact that our basic methods will remain unchanged: active solidarity, the spread of rebellious attitudes and actions, and strong affinity as a basis for our practice.

Solidarity means attack, against repression, let’s strike back.
Much love to the revolting PNW.
