Letter from Felicity Ryder, who was never arrested with Mario in Mexico City

Posted on July 21, 2012 by Gabriella Segata Antolini

from parolearmate:

Comrades, friends,

I would have liked to have written earlier, but for various circumstances I haven’t had the chance to yet. I want to send a warm greeting and say thanks to everyone who has worried about me and my situation, to those who have shown solidarity with Mario and I. In these difficult moments it means a lot to have people standing in solidarity from near or from far, even without ever having met me. I sent a revolutionary hug to all of you. Continue reading →

Lets not forget our comrades behind bars.

Update on Douglas L. Wright’s hunger strike

Posted on July 21, 2012 by Gabriella Segata Antolini

from anews:

I just wanted to give a quick update on one of the Cleveland 5 prisoner’s (Douglas L. Wright) and a sincere thank you for everyone’s concerns, well wishes, and actions regarding Doug being thrown into solitary and subsequent hunger strike. Douglas is now out of solitary and has ended his hunger strike. This latest bit of bullshit that was hurled his way is over largely due to the simple fact that Doug was finally able to just simply explain what happened to the assistant warden. Continue reading →

Seattle, WA: Two banks and a Starbucks smashed

Posted on July 16, 2012 by Gabriella Segata Antolini

from pugetsoundanarchists:

Last night in Seattle we smashed the windows of two banks and a Starbucks. It is saddening that so many people experience banks as institutions of exploitation yet refuse to take the step of attacking them, as for smashing up a Starbucks, it may be the only Seattle tradition worth continuing since the WTO.

The Final Straw – The Case of the Cleveland 5: The FBI, Entrapment & the construction of Terrorists

Posted on July 16, 2012 by Gabriella Segata Antolini

From The Final Straw, July 15, 2012:

This week’s conversation features a discussion of the case of the Cleveland 5, anarchists arrested in Ohio on April 30th for allegedly attempting to blow up a bridge. But the case isn’t so simple as idealists independently taking direct and spectacular action against infrastructure. As members of Cleveland 5 Justice (the support group for the defendants) share with us information about the accused, what is known about the alleged infiltrator sent by the FBI to facilitate a terror case (Shaquille Azir), and the significance of the timing of the arrests to coincide with May Day celebrations worldwide and the reawakening of the Occupy Movement in the U.S., we see a widened scope of intrigue and entrapment that fits into a bigger picture of corrupt government and self-serving security services.

Chile: Communiqué for bombing at Puente Alto Police Courthouse

Posted on July 12, 2012 by Gabriella Segata Antolini

From Liberación Total (July 10, 2012), translation by This Is Our Job:

What really is the Point?

The point is to show that the pendulum of violence sometimes swings back against those who originally perpetuate the world’s violence.

We simply allow violence to flow in both directions, and we make sure those who support the exploiters accept the consequences. Continue reading →
