Hundreds of people responded to the High Court demanding the eviction of Apollo House by
linking arms to form a protective ring around it. The judge refused the residents an
extra week to find accommodation despite the housing minister failing to deliver what had
been promised. ---- As the protest continued one resident told the Irish Times livefeed
that "We are not knocking on NAMA doors, we are kicking them in" People chanted 'Homes not
Hostels', 'Homes for All' and 'House the Homeless' while a banner delared 'Homeless people
are not the problem, they are the result of the problem.' Traveller activist Eileen Flynn
who has volunteered at Apollohouse told the crowd "We need to stand together ... this is
the best movement since 1916" ---- Speaking for Apollo House Rosie told the crowd about
the betrayal of the minister and the treatment of residents who trusted his word but found
conditions in the places they were brought to were "worse than prison". She continued
"They are treating us like dogs, they are treating us like fools, we are not taking it
anymore, this housing crisis is going to end"
In our compilation of video we shot during the protest we argue that the housing crisis is
no accident - there are plenty of empty houses and apartments. The crisis in conditions
for homeless people exists because as a deliberate discipline to scare the rest of the
population into continuing to pay morgages they can no longer afford and rents that eat
most of their income. Huge numbers of politicans are landlords, property specuators or
the people who take bribes from that wing of capitalism. That's why they have no interest
in a solution.

"The class war chose side with the wronged and oppressed of banned and persecuted by the
guilty and the damned" T. Theophilos --- In August 2012 carried robbery at Alpha Bank in
Paros during which he was the fatal injuries when a taxi driver tried to prevent the
escape of robbers. --- A few days later, after an anonymous phone call on Terror, arrested
the anarchist-communist Tasos Theophilus. --- At that time it had broken with delirious
way the good cooperation of the police and the media in an impression manufacturing game
on the existence of revolutionary and anarchist Fund Association - discounting criminal
guilt. --- Comrade he faced charges of armed robbery, murder and of membership of the
National Road Conspiracy Nuclei of Fire with unique "incriminating" element being dna
sample in hat allegedly found at the scene of the robbery.
Despite the collapse of the expanded indictment, which the partner refused in its
entirety, received 25 years in prison for armed robbery and acquitted on charges of murder
and membership in CCF
It seems that the state was not satisfied with the predatory sentence imposed. The Dragon
prosecutor appealed to the law, canceling practically the first instance judgment
resulting in a retrial of the case from scratch. Anti-appeal serves its fixed political
goal of power to aponoimatodotisei anarchist struggle. In an effort to raise the
conservative society, presents the anarchists as ruthless killers of innocent civilians,
attempting simultaneously to depoliticize the action of armed organizations, which is why
for many years maintained its theories aligning anarchists - criminal, being revolutionary
fund etc. .
In times of crisis the state is shielded by means of mechanisms (legal-repressive forces),
suppressing the enemy within, by imposing predatory penalties and this is reflected in the
convictions of a series of trials involving anarchist comrades cases.
For our part we believe that the political trials is not only a field relating to
prisoners and the state, where the only issue at stake in this is the level of penalties,
but as a field intensification and promotion of the event.

Hurricane Matthew made landfall on the island of Haiti on October 4th, 2016 as a Category
5 hurricane packing 160 mph winds that killed hundreds of people and caused significant
damage. In the occurring aftermath of this and other disasters, the international
community reaches out with charitable aid. ---- While immediate relief provides quick
support, we feel there are limitations to this type of aid. For example, the bulk of this
aid comes from NGOs that exploit countries ravaged by natural disasters as well as the
forces of imperialism. They do this by fostering dependency instead of self-determination
and represent the interests of the dominant classes, the State, and imperialism with the
facade of being financial missionaries through the "first world". In turn, after the the
world's attention moves onto new concerns the underlying conditions and structural
oppression remain and are often further reinforced.
We should instead look to provide meaningful aid for victims of natural or human-made
disasters by supporting the on the ground work of popular movements and self-sufficient
organizations. One autonomous movement that is committed to building a new Haiti is Batay
Ouvriye which is an independent workers organization organizing in the free trade zone and
among textile and other workers and fights for the economic, political and democratic
rights of the Haitian people.
Supporting organizations like Batay Ouvriye helps to build solidarity instead of charity
with workers and communities that share our vision of a world built from the bottom up.

On December 23, 2016, the Istanbul court sentenced Hüseyin Civan, editor of the anarchist
newspaper Meydan, to imprisonment of one year and three months for "propaganda of
terrorism" and in particular "for terrorist methods which constitute intimidation,
violence and threats by means money, the approbation or encouragement of these methods. "
The chief prosecutor had ordered an investigation against the newspaper from December 2015
to mark articles that were published in the thirtieth edition, themed "prohibiting
everything." ---- The imprisonment of Hüseyin Civan part of the repressive campaign of the
Turkish state, which in recent years manifested in military operations in the Kurdish
areas, mass persecution and murderous attacks on opposition movements and revolutionary
organizations. A campaign peaked today, after the failed coup last July and the extension
of emergency rule. The Erdogan regime, accusing his political opponents of trying to
overthrow uses the attempted coup on the one hand for clearances in all state apparatuses
(army, judiciary, public sector) and the other impose totalitarian war on enemy within,
for the dissolution of class and social elements. At the same time it triggers the fans
together with the gray wolves to attack the neighborhoods and places of leftist and
anarchist activists and organizations.
In this direction, anarchists, communists, unionists, teachers, journalists, artists and
those who deny in any way the omnipotence of the regime they face persecution, torture and
imprisonment. Still, the same climate, catalyzed elementary rights, prohibits gatherings
and demonstrations, the newspaper halts, radio and television stations, apply censorship
and Internet access blocking, parties and organizations designated as terrorist groups,
incursions made into fighters homes and made attacks on political and social spaces.
The form of state aggression in Turkey is shaped so based on the country's position in the
arena of geopolitical alliances and rivalries as well as its long-term orientation of
state and paramilitary terror against revolutionary movements and racing inside.
The iron control and suppression grid that spreads in every field of social life in the
interior is complemented by its policy in the greater Middle East region which, according
to the chauvinism of the Turkish state, includes extermination companies Kurdish
communities, military operations of the Turkish army in northern Syria and elsewhere,
haphazard cooperation within NATO and the European Union, but even with the ISIS itself.
H EU-Turkey agreement on refugees, which characterizes Turkey as a safe place at the same
time imprisons thousands of refugees in camps in southeast and west borders and unfolds
planning to establish an absolutely totalitarian system internally, is declarative for
what is in store for us the states and the bosses in the coming period, especially at a
time of sharpening endokyriarchikon rivalries in the region, but also globally.
As Anarchist Political Organisation express our solidarity with anarchist comrades of DAF
(Anarchist Revolutionary Action) and Meydan newspaper, as well as those fighting in Turkey
against state totalitarianism, the persecution and imprisonment of militants, keeping
alive the vision of a world of equality , solidarity and freedom.
Against state and capitalist barbarism and the modern totalitarianism, only hope of the
oppressed is to connect them so that coping with the joint attack they receive. Only
through the flame of the games and international resistances it is possible to vindicate
the real social needs of a free and just society. From neighboring Turkey and
revolutionary Rozava, the slums of France, to the struggles in Mexico, the resistance of
the indigenous people in North America and the massive protests against the regime in the
United States, no one is oppressed not only as there is struggle for freedom.
To take life in our hand, to build a new emancipated society based on dignity, justice,
freedom and solidarity on the ruins of the power world of the state and capital, making
reality generalized social self-management.

(Lisbon) Saturday, January 21, 3 pm, a meeting with the United States Embassy (Av. Das
Armed Forces) ---- On Saturday, January 21, the Women's March is held in various cities of
the World, for equality, diversity, justice, the intersectionality of struggles in the
struggle against various oppressions, the convergence of our communities of resistance,
under the mote #naosejastrump . But it's not enough that "Do not be Trump." ---- Do not be
cheating: Do not be President, do not be System, do not be Party, do not be Representative
Democracy - it was She who chose the rascal - do not be dust-in-eyes! We must confront the
agents of the cisheteropatriarchy and neoliberal capitalism in all their mutations. ----
The mandate of Trump is presented as a threat to women, queers, transgender people,
immigrants, people of color and non-human animals. In addition to increasing
discrimination and the risk of hate crimes (as these practices now find legitimacy and
encouragement in official political discourse), these groups run the risk of seeing
setbacks in favor of favorable reforms in the last years of neoliberal governance .
The moment makes evident the incipience of the rights achieved by reformism; Rights that
some say acquired and others conquered, but which are no more than "rights granted".
Because the truth is that, between coming presidents and coming presidents, women,
non-white people, immigrants, LBTQIA + communities and nonhuman animals always find
themselves having to negotiate with others what they can or They can not do with your
body. What "freedom" is this if we are dependent on the approval of a group of
politicians, or even a majority, to decide on our own body and how to perform / experience
/ live in it? The state is an institution whose essence is authoritarian, oppressive and
cisheteropatriarcal. Its existence is based, and its purpose is to guarantee, the control
and exploitation of the bodies of some in favor of the accumulation of wealth of the minority.
We must build and make visible the alternatives, which there are! It is necessary that we
cease to be concerned only with the isolated materializations of oppression and dismantle
the hierarchical status quo that serves as the cornerstone for the cisheteropatriarcal
system, but without falling into the error of speaking from the nonexistent place of a
neutral universal subject. The resistance is made by the visibility and liberation of all
- women, gypsies, queers, immigrants, with functional diversity, trans, blacks, whores,
cows, nuts, goats, rats and other animals.
Thus, from our multiple places of enunciation, we - feminists, anti-speculators, antifa,
fufas, bisexuals, queers, heteras, nonmonogamists, tarts - But self-determination. We want
and are capable of self-organization, horizontality and cooperation!
Fascism No!
Self-management!
State feminism is no solution!

13 JAN THE CANARY: With 2017 looking set to be a year of more political upheaval, music is
perhaps the one thing that can cross into all walks of life. And a rapper from south-west
London is doing just that. With some of the rawest and sharpest politically-motivated
hip-hop around. The Canary caught up with the man, ‘Potent Whisper', for a chat. About
class, council estates, and Harrods... ---- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NGcuNBxkN1Y
---- As The Canary previously reported, on Saturday 7 January United Voices of the World
union (UVW) and Class War held a major protest at Harrods, over staff pay. Campaigners
believed the police presence was over the top. And Whisper, who was at the demo, agrees:
---- "It seems to me that the police are always more interested in protecting private
assets than facilitating people's right to protest peacefully. The eight arrests that day
were undoubtedly political policing. And it's something that we're increasingly seeing."
At Saturday's demo, he took the opportunity to record a video for his upcoming EP. Called
New Radical, it features four tracks. And he has given The Canary a sneak preview... full
