1. No revolution in the body of the presence of women, who are half of human society, will succeed ---- If we look closely at those
demonstrations especially over the past two years, most of the arrests and torture victims have belonged to women. One of the reasons for
this has been that the Shia Islamic Caliphate regime is aware of the very strong presence of women in almost all demonstrations throughout
Iran. The struggling women have largely continued to guide and radicalize the slogans. My assessment is that the revolutionary and upward
movement in Iranian society has shown and shows that it is also good through open and hidden communication networks to guide and organize
demonstrations without the presence of centralized ideological-political leadership, though so far. however, these arrangements have not
been sufficiently solid and lack the necessary coordination. But this is from my political point of view in the right route plan, a new
experience compared to previous movements. That regardless of whether such a horizontal, none centered and bottom-up arrangement would
succeed in the current situation or not, we have to wait and see its results. In hopes of crashing down on the Capitalist and Fascist Rule
through the Iranian working people as soon as possible

2. No revolution in the body of the presence of women, who are half of human society, will succeed

To put it bluntly, most of the arrests and torture of women have been in demonstrations, especially in the last two years. One of the
reasons was the awareness of the Islamic-Shiite caliphate regime to have a very strong presence of women in almost all demonstrations
throughout Iran. Militant women have, and still do, have a leading role in radicalizing and radicalizing slogans. My assessment is that the
revolutionary and upward movement in the Iranian society has shown and demonstrates that without the presence of ideological-political
parties, it can also be centered, and that the wave of protests can be facilitated by open and hidden communications networks, Organized,
however, so far these arrangements have not been sufficiently coherent and lack the necessary coordination. But from my political point of
view, however, this map is a good route and a new experience for past movements. Whether such horizontal organization, without being
center-centered and to what extent the bottom line would be successful in the present state of affairs, would have to wait for its outcome.
Hoping for the overthrow of the capitalist regime and fascism as soon as possible by the toilers of Iran!

On Thursday, January 23, a gathering was held in Prague expressing indignation at the Australian government's approach to the current fires
that absorb much of the continent. ---- Outraged by Australian Fires, convened by Fridays for Future together with Greenpeace, was held in
Prague's Republic Square. Shortly after four o'clock in the afternoon, nearly fifty people welcomed a representative of the Fridays for
Future initiative. After a few introductory sentences, he gave the floor to another FFF representative who gave a short speech. In the first
part, he introduced several numbers to the participants - fires have already claimed 30 lives. Even though it is a menacing number, the
number of animals that did not survive the disaster is much worse - half a billion individuals could not be saved. No wonder - the fires
spread over 5.5 million hectares of land and are one of the largest fires in civilization history. Despite the enormous scale of this
disaster, Prime Minister Scott Morrison's Australian Conservative government remains peaceable. Morrison even denies the link between these
events and climate change. How could it not when it comes to the coal lobby. The fossil industry is on the rise in Australia and is even
subsidized by the government. At present, the theme is the Carmichael coal mine, which will be one of the largest mines in the world. Among
other things, the German company Siemens will be involved in its construction, and not only in Germany there were many protests against this
technology corporation, which still did not withdraw from its share in the construction of the Indian company Adani. As the FFF has pointed
out, it is therefore not enough to press only the governments of individual countries, but to focus their anger on the multinationals whose
profits are generated by plundering the planet. The fossil industry is on the rise in Australia and is even subsidized by the government. At

The representative of Greenpeace was the second. At the beginning he described how big the fires are. The smoke is so dense all over the
earth that the sky is orange, in many places smoke and fire alarms have to be turned off in the buildings, otherwise water would constantly
flow on them. All the more blatantly, at a time when the fires were more severe, Prime Minister Morrison went to recreation in Hawaii. The
speaker stressed that the entire Australian government is in favor of the fossil lobby and is giving much more money to the coal business
than to firefighters and other forces involved in dealing with the consequences of this disaster.

After the speeches, the demonstration was officially ended by the FFF, but we were invited to go to the Australian consulate, which is
located near the rally. Most of the protesters moved there. In front of the building, they took a photo together, and the officials present
curiously peeked out the windows warned by chanting slogans such as "shame", "coal falls underground", "stop coal mining" or "What do we
want - climate justice." When we want it - now. "That even the people of Prague are not indifferent to the Australian tragedy. And even
though it was more of a chamber event, it is important that the voice in support of Australia was heard from Prague.

Workers Solidarity Alliance condemns Trump's political assassination of Qassim Soleimani as well as the Trump administration's continued mix
of war mongering and volatile foreign policy. We stand in solidarity with the working and poor of Iran and Iraq who, as a result of this
political killing, face increased instability and threats of war. We also express our sympathies and concerns to all people caught in harm's
way during this escalation of tensions. ---- We oppose all U.S. militarism and racist colonialism. This political killing shows a
willingness on the part of the Trump regime to risk violent escalation in the hopes that it will drum up jingoistic support from his base
and as a desperate bid against his political woes at home.
While the Trump Administration has claimed that this assassination was to stop an ‘imminent' attack on American and European lives, no
evidence that this is true has been offered. In fact, they seem to be characteristically all over the place in the face of having no
evidence that such an attack was necessary. Mike Pompeo, who is one of the leading voices defending this act of aggression and making the
claim that it was to protect from an attack, has himself admitted that during his time at the CIA "we lied, we cheated, we stole". And now
the American public is expected to believe him at his word.

We respond as workers outraged against war and U.S. occupation, and against this administration's irrational fear and lashing out, without
regard for the human lives at risk. We stand and hope for a world where workers and the poor are not mere pawns in the games of the ruling
class but active participants in creating a society built on solidarity and cooperation.

On Saturday, January 25 at the Grodzisk Community Center (ul. Spóldzielcza 9) between 11:00 - 13:30 an open meeting will take place, the aim
of which is to start cooperation between trade unions operating in Grodzisk Mazowiecki and to encourage employees from un-unionized
factories to organize and fight for their rights. The meeting is hosted by the Employee Initiative Committee in Danfos. ---- [See the event
on Facebook] ---- As colleagues in the Danfoss commission write in a leaflet, which has been distributed in front of workplaces around the
city since November: "Industry and the logistics industry have been dynamically developing in Grodzisk for several years. Due to the
proximity of the A2 motorway and the allocation of part of the area to the Special Economic Zone, large international corporations locate
their workplaces here - this is an ideal location when it comes to transport, infrastructure, public subsidies for investments and ... cheap
labor! " However, despite the fact that new workplaces are created around Grodzisk every now and then, this is not followed by cooperation
between employees and employees employed in them.

The Saturday meeting aims to change this situation through a joint discussion of trade unionists and trade unionists from Grodzisk factories
and by encouraging non-affiliated people to establish new trade union organizations. During the meeting, the situation in individual plants
will be discussed and the main problems faced by people working in Grodzisk, the activities of existing trade union organizations will be
presented, and practical advice on how a trade union can affect the situation in the company will be presented.

The Commission in Danfoss hopes that the cooperation initiated in this way will lead in the future to permanent meetings of trade union
organizations from Grodzisk and the creation of the "Grodzisk Forum of Trade Union Commissions" - a forum for exchanging experiences and
information between unions and planning joint actions.

Jonathan Pollak, a long-time anarchist, co-founder of Anarchists Against the Wall and Palestine solidarity activist, was arrested in Tel
Aviv. ---- Pollak's arrest follows a criminal action filled against three activists involved with Anarchists against the Wall in February
2018 by Israeli far-right nationalist group Ad Kan. The other two persecuted activists are Kobi Snitz and Ilan Schleif. The three stand
accused of assaulting Israel Defence Forces (IDF) soldiers and organising events during which the soldiers were wounded. ---- Ad Kan
dedicates itself to persecution of the left-wing and human rights organisations. It is known for its infiltration of Israeli left-wing
groups and suing activists. Ad Kan claims that Pollak, together with Snitz and Schleif belonged to the Anarchists Against the Wall and
"incited Palestinian demonstrators for violence" and "assaulted Israeli soldiers."
Before his arrest, Jonathan refused to appear in court for months, explaining that to do so, he would have to acknowledge the Israeli
state's authority to manage the resistance against the occupation. He said that he does not recognise the authority of a country which
maintains a military dictatorship over people lacking basic rights in the West Bank and Gaza.

Subsequently, Pollak was arrested by undercover officers at his workplace, Haaretz newspaper, where he works as a graphic designer. He was
offered to pay a bail of 500 shekels (approx £110): an offer he refused saying that he will not acknowledge a double standard system, where
Palestinians are judged by military rather than civil authorities and the punishment for them would be much greater, nor they will have an
option of bailing themselves out.

In a statement titled To Prison, Again, for Protesting Against Israel's Colonial Rule Jonathan wrote for Haaretz newspaper, he said:

"To join the fight to topple Israeli apartheid, the few Jewish citizens of Israel willing to do so will first have to recognise that they
are overprivileged and be willing to pay the price of relinquishing that status. An open rebellion against the regime has been taking place
for decades, carried out by the Palestinian resistance movement. The price paid by those involved in it is immense. Jewish citizens of
Israel must cross over and walk in their footsteps."

Pollak was remanded in custody following a hearing at the Jerusalem Magistrate's Court last Wednesday, which saw clashes between dozens of
left-wing and right-wing activists.

It is not the first time Jonathan Pollak is presecuted by Israeli state. In October 2010, Pollak was fined $1,250 for participating in an
illegal demonstration against the wall. However, during the same hearing a Palestinian activist Abdullah Abu Rahma was sentenced to a year
in prison. Also in December  2010, Pollak was sentenced to three months in prison for participating in an illegal assembly in January 2008.
He declined an offer by the court to have his sentence commuted to a community service. Pollak was released in February 2011 for good
behavior, and returned to his activism within a week.

Text published on the Montreal website counter-information. Link to the original, here . 07/01/2020 - Hamilton: simultaneous sabotage of
railway bottlenecks in solidarity with the defenders of the Wet'suwet'en land. ---- A decade ago, the Wet'suwet'en inspired more than one
when they reoccupied their unceded lands to begin a healing process and to ensure that the land be protected as necessary to ensure the
maintenance of the life and practices of the Wet'suwet'en people, the continuity of their existence in their traditional territories. ---- A
year ago, the RCMP violently invaded these territories to allow industry to access them. ---- A week ago, the Canadian state criminalized
Anuk'nu'at'en - the Wet'suwet'en hereditary law - by granting an injunction criminalizing indigenous people and their allies if they protect
the Yintah. destructive forces in the industry.

We honor these birthdays with a huge fuck you to the state.

Early this morning, settlers responded to several calls to action: those from multiple house groups. There are a number of family groups
called Yikhs in each Wet'suwet clan, or groups of houses]Wet'suwet'en after having courageously ousted the industry from their non-ceded
territories, as well as that emitted by settlers for the settlers.

We made a small contribution to the resistance against our government and the violence it perpetuates. We simultaneously disrupted three
strategic CN and CP rail bottlenecks with the intention of blocking all incoming and outgoing traffic from supposedly Hamilton. We did this
by using copper wires and jump cables attached to the rail connector cables, to create a short circuit - demonstrative video (open with
TOR). This method is safe, easy, relatively low risk and easily reproducible.

CN has shipped and will continue to ship piping to storage yards in preparation for construction. It also has very large isolated
infrastructure segments. The first railway installations had a deep and lasting impact on the colonization of Tortoise Island; targeting
them today has a direct impact on the economy of so-called Canada.

Although the disruption caused by these actions is only temporary, we hope to send a strong message: respect for indigenous sovereignty -
everywhere on Tortoise Island - is not optional. We will not be passive.

We hope that others, across Turtle Island - especially the settlers - will join us to ensure that this is just the start, and to make the
Coastal GasLink pipeline untenable to the both for industry and for the state, in any way possible.

01/14/2020 - Toronto: Explorations on railway disruptions in solidarity with the Wet'suwet'en

This weekend in Toronto, inspired by the actions of the defenders of the Wet'suwet'en land as well as by a recent call to disrupt the
railways, some anarchists took to the rails to contribute to the momentum of the demonstrations, blockades and acts of sabotage that took
place on the island of Tortoise.

We were hesitant to write this article because, due to our lack of experience and the location chosen, we cannot be absolutely certain that
our sabotage attempt was successful. But finally, we wanted to share our message of solidarity and our commitment in this fight, as well as
our own reflections and knowledge acquired during this first attempt.

The articles previously published on this site are an excellent starting point to learn how to execute this type of mission. We chose a site
near a railway node and used copper wire to mimic the presence of a train on the rails, which would hopefully block all rail traffic until
the disturbance is eliminated. Since we did not have connection cables, which provide a more reliable connection, we quickly rubbed our
connection points with steel wool to make sure that no rust hindered the connection.

As mentioned in the previous articles, and it turned out just in our case, it may take a while to find a place where the ribs (which are a
great place to connect) line up on both rails . Next time we'll probably look for other places to leave the railway safely, which will give
us options closer to where we ended up, instead of having to go back to the where we entered

A little later, when we left, we saw a truck with the headlights on at the edge of the railway. It is difficult to say whether he was parked
or headed for the site of the disturbance, but it is good to know that he was there.

Finally, it would have been good to know with certainty if the action really worked. If a connection is successfully established, the
barriers to nearby level crossings will drop, so it would have been helpful to target a location close to such a barrier. Otherwise, we
could have placed a lookout at a certain distance from the site of the action, to keep an eye on a level crossing, or on any other activity
indicating the success of the action.

In conclusion, we say: Pay attention and get started! Eyes on the front line, feet on the street and ... on the railroad tracks!

01/18/2020 - Sabotage of a high capacity railway track

A few nights ago, an anarchist settler sabotaged CN's main transcontinental railroad. If TC Energy wanted to transport anything from
southern Ontario, or further east, to the CGL site in British Columbia, it would likely use this railway. I took care to choose an isolated
site, as acting alone would take more time. I used the copper wire method described here. To ensure a good connection, I used steel wool and
vinegar to remove rust from the tracks. I believe the disturbance worked, since the wire sparked when it was connected to the railroad
tracks. I left quickly - even when you don't feel rushed or stressed, it is important to leave as soon as possible - and I have returned
home. This action was easy to do, even for a completely inexperienced person.

And especially as settlers, we should continue to find opportunities to disrupt this project. CGL continues to threaten to destroy the
Wet'suwet'en territories and way of life.

Solidarity with the Wet'suwet'en! We will continue to show the violent colonial state and CGL that we will not back down. It is so easy to
block the infrastructure allowing exploitation projects like CGL.

01/23/2020 - Keep Your Fire Bright: Sabotage of a Burlington Railway

Last night we sabotaged a railway bottleneck in Burlington. This location was chosen because this is where the lines from Detroit and
Buffalo meet to go to Toronto and Montreal. We have heard that it is the busiest crossroads of its kind in Canada. This action was taken in
solidarity with the Wet'suwet'en who are fighting on the front line against the Canadian state and the companies it supports, following a
call to sabotage the railways.

To do this, we identified a signaling station and set fire to its power supply to destroy the cables that supplied it. Hopefully it will
take them a while to repair and the line will remain closed for as long as possible.

We have done this to show the people who are fighting on the front lines that they are not alone, and that others are ready to make strong
gestures of solidarity if the RCMP acts against them. We chose this tense moment in the negotiations that started today to fuel the fire on
the front lines.

Let us continue to block the rails, solidarity is a powerful tool which allows us all to build our autonomy. The RCMP, outside Wet'suwet'en
territory and everywhere else!

Since December 5, the strike has been a reality for millions of people. It was carried with an impressive strength, courage and
determination by those who renewed it, at the SNCF, at the RATP, but also elsewhere... Today, the strike is still there and invites itself
in new sectors ! It reinvents itself to last. The time is not for resignation but always for the balance of power with the State and Capital
! ---- 46 days, the longest strike ---- By renewing it day after day since December 5, the RATP and SNCF strikers embodied the strike for
more than a month in a row. ---- Today, in their general assemblies, the strikers have mostly decided not to give up the fight, quite the
contrary, but to organize themselves to last. ---- The holding of GA is fundamental for debating between strikers, deciding democratically
and bringing the strike to life together in our workplaces.

The strike is still there too in more and more Culture establishments coordinating alongside those who joined the movement from the start
like the Paris Opera or the BNF.

In energy, education, the strike is based on solid and motivated strikers.

In ports and docks, even if it is a 72-hour period, the strikes struck by the employers are significant: a representative of the harbor
employers in Le Havre was publicly worried about a loss already amounting to several tens of million euros !

In the Territorials there are always strikers every new day.

In addition, in all regions, strikes in various private companies, in various forms. And the high school youth begins to manifest !

Scare them
Macron fleeing to the heart of Paris, exfiltrated from a representation. Macron who is afraid of strikers. Strikers still overwhelmingly
supported by "  public opinion  " ... for the simple reason that the vast majority of the population lives only from their work and knows
that this class struggle is theirs !

Faced with this, the government represses, strikes, challenges and threatens a lawsuit. The press in the headlines about "  the CGT which
ruins France  ", just that.

The power of Capital and its State is surprised by the determination and the duration of this movement.

We have no reason to stop scaring them. Each prefecture, each chamber of commerce and industry must have cold sweats in the days and weeks
to come.

Let's continue the fight
Friday January 24 is a big day of general strike that will take place. The days leading up to initiatives and actions will multiply. And the
days that follow too!

If the strike can adapt, it must not stop. It must be based on all our demands. It is because they are afraid now that we must continue and
intensify the fight.

And then because we are right !

We are right to refuse their misery pensions.

We are right to refuse to suffer a life of exploitation at work.

We are right to want a better world, free from alienation and oppression.

A world where economic and social equality is combined with the freedom of all.

Yes we are revolutionary and we are still here !

CW, there are groups in England, Scotland and Northern Ireland - have been around for around 40 years, in fact CW is one of the longest
‘politically aware' groups in the UK. I say ‘groups' because CW has no leaders, central administration, and I would argue not even
‘members'. CW is a small, loose collective, of politically minded individuals, mostly anarchist; that go by the name Class War. ---- We have
no ‘terrorist' links and we're certainly not a terrorist group! In fact, like many anarchists CWS don't even class ourselves as ‘left-wing'
- we're no wing, most of us don't vote and we're not even that interested in political parties. CWS think for ourselves, and act for
ourselves; at least this is what ‘anarchism' means to us!
Are we guilty of ‘"ideological extremisms"'? If we think It's wrong that this Tory government has ‘killed off' (and continues to do so) over
100,000 of our disabled community, while waging a systematic class war against it's own citizens' - then yes we are ‘extremist' in our
ideology that this is wrong!

But let's not debate polemics: definitions and words, as this statement and the government's ‘list' say more about the government - than it
does about CW.

Let's talk about a Tory government that is paranoid (most governments are) and over-obsessed with power and control, and will use that
dominance to silence anyone it thinks possess a threat.

This ‘extended scrutiny and control' (the UK has more CCTV cameras than any other country) makes us all suspects in the states mind. It's
all about how the state ‘de-legitimises', undertaking it's own campaign of terror against certain ‘anti-establishment' groups' that legally
and peacefully protest against the state (which as citizens is also our right.)

CW Scotland (CWS) wholly reject, we can't emphasise this more strongly our inclusion on the list and the disproportionally high number, as
voiced by the group Freedom of ‘left-wing' and ‘grass root' anarchist groups' included in the "Safeguarding young people and adults from
ideological extremism" guide.

To have CW and CWS added to a list that also contains Neo-Nazi and Right Wing extremist groups' with a ‘one group fits all' approach - is
not only communally misleading and politically irresponsible - it is also ‘unlawful' of the government/police to do so!

‘We're far better than them............................................!'
