Sao Paulo will be the capital of conservatism on the American continent for a few days. In
other words, the old Nazifascists in new clothes will gather in the city articulated by
none other than Deputy Eduardo Bolsonaro (PSL) member of the clan who runs the presidency
of the Republic and has respectively a Bolsonaro in the Senate, Flavio, and another as
Councilman in Rio, Carlos. ---- It was announced this August 14th by the Federal Deputy
Eduardo (PSL) that a Conference of Conservative Political Action will take place between
11 and 12 October this year in Sao Paulo. Names and world leaders of the right and far
right will be present. ---- The CPAC is the public face of convergence of civilian groups
and organizations in the US / USA towards extreme right and extreme right conservatism.
Now, with the presence in power of the Bolsonaro Clan, this model is established in Brazil
and has at this conference practically the establishment of a branch and an approximate
model of operation in the Tupiniquin lands.
The schedule was not disclosed. However, topics such as: immigration and unemployment,
economic crisis and moral failure, market freedom and terrorism, economic growth x
environment, homosexuality, family and military forces are approaches in the US / US
matrix themes and should be adapted here.
Some questions:
Welfare reform that puts the worker until her last days working will be approved for whose
benefit?
Is social security for profit or to keep those exploited by capitalism who have nothing to
count on?
Does privatization of health and education through civil organizations leading the state
to keep private companies in the sectors benefit the people or their business friends?
Canceling demarcation of indigenous lands benefits whom?
Denying quilombola land title benefits whom?
Canceling land reform actions in the countryside and investing in small and medium farmers
benefits whom?
Preventing, limiting and destroying public education in Brazil in Basic and Higher
Education benefits whom?
Cutting resources for social, natural and accurate scientific research benefits for whom?
A reflection: Ignorance combined with misery are favorable ingredients for the rise of
populist authoritarianism, or a Brazilian fascism.

Our planet is dying. Dead sea creatures hit the shores, and every part of the oceans is
contaminated with oil, plastic and other artificial waste. Trees are cut down, species are
extinct, animals are killed, people are poisoned, global warming has ceased for artificial
reasons and is affecting our lives more and more every day. Contrary to popular belief, it
is not consumers, but producers, ie capitalists and governments. Recycling alone doesn't
change anything. Damage to nature, governments and bosses that allow factories to release
greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, gold companies looking for cyanide in Kaz Mountains,
cutting trees, building natural sites, and others, in short, attacking nature on all
sides, and exploiting the labor of the proletariat. absorbers. Profit ambition has stepped
into every natural habitat, poisoning, exploiting and throwing away every step it steps.
Governments that supposedly represent their people are attracted to their greedy money
fathers, they become partners in this massacre and not only betray the people they claim
to represent, but betray all living beings and nature. As Marx says, kir Dirt and blood is
dripping from every pore of capital from head to toe. Uz We have entered a sixth period of
mass extinction, and we cannot survive this period.
Leading climate scientists say that we have until 2030 to prevent global temperature rise
to exceed 1.5 centigrade, a very limited time frame for environmental standards.
If the temperature rise exceeds 2 degrees Celsius, it will result in catastrophes such as
global mass destruction, famine, drought, floods, forest fires and the spread of
infectious diseases.
According to CDP's 2017 Maj Carbon Majors Report,% 71% of the world's industrial
greenhouse gas emissions account for only 100 people. It is clear that the interests of
giant companies no longer contribute to the welfare of the human species.
We can no longer waste time with campaigns to limit consumption habits. We have to take
direct action. Neither government nor private institutions can give up our labor. The only
way we can resist this massacre is to use our labor as leverage, to strike.
Earth Strike is an international movement aimed at resisting this massacre using direct
action methods. Despite finding voice in many countries, albeit spread over 2019 items in
normal circumstances, not found in Turkey, and we have decided to carry out the
organization in order to bring a solution to Turkey. Our main target now is the general
strike on 20 September. Internationally, Extinction Rebellion, Demand Utopia, Fridays for
Future, united4earth, the IWW Environmental Caucus, Youth Strike 4 Climate, Mutual Aid
Disaster Relief organizations and Noam Chomsky, Natalie Wynn, David Graeber, a move backed
by the personalities like Brendan Shoebridge, Turkey ' While the initial X, including
Turkey, which is in collaboration with other organizations to support, that will assist in
organizing the resistance. Earth resistance as Turkey hope to enlarge Strike
birlestirebilip under one roof. We have also placed our decision-making mechanisms in a
democratic order (direct / consensus democracy) in order to give the right to be a popular
movement. All decisions are made through various assemblies, everyone has a role in making
each decision (you can get detailed information from our Discord server). You can help us
by showing any side of Turkey's accession. Although we welcome everyone, our demands and
methods must be considered radical. Our demands are as follows: we have also placed our

Our demands are as follows: our demands and methods should be considered radical. Our
demands are as follows:
- Immediately start a global cooperation to compensate for the damage to the Earth's
climate through non-ambiguous and binding treaties, in order to achieve IPCC forecasts,
which envision halving carbon emissions by 2030 and zeroing by 2050.
- Non-ambiguous and binding international treaties to stop the destruction of rainforests
and other wildlife habitats.
- Non-ambiguous, international and binding treaties that enable companies to be
responsible for the greenhouse gases they produce.
We cannot promise that our demands will be limited to them. Earth Strike will always take
care of nature and will make every possible resistance for it. In addition, every
individual who wants to join our organization needs to know that it must comply with
certain principles. Our principles that we will not compromise are:
-Solidarity
Our primary and most important principle is to unite within the framework of our common
goal. We are fighting for climate action because we have compassion for every human being
on planet Earth. We can only have a chance if we act together in solidarity.
- Horizontal Organization
Earth Strike is a popular movement. We have no leaders. We are committed to our
universally valid goals and principles.
- The Openness of Our Goal
The main basis of our movement is the general strike - which distinguishes us from other
environmental groups that cooperate with us. We must address climate change from every
angle, and we attack by keeping our labor to ourselves. Our global protests are important
for us to spread our message, but it is only a tool for our mission. We don't beg for
sympathy, we show our strength.
-Message of our message
Climate activism was renowned for its emphasis on moral values, and through insignificant
struggles focusing on small consumption issues. Earth Strike is aware that this period has
already passed and that our real goal is not the consumers but the manufacturing
companies. As individuals, our contribution to climate change can be ignored, but our
contribution to the economy is indispensable.
-Kapsayicilik
Earth Strike does not allow cooperation with, or sympathy with, any hateful, bigoted or
reactionary politics or actions. These categories include: homophobia, disability
discrimination, racism, ethnic nationalism, imperialism, and genocide / genocide or
genocidal politics / political defense, rejection, support, sympathy.
We look forward to our resistance to anyone who cares about nature and life, desires to
build a beautiful future, disgusted in contributing to the massacres of the order of
absolute exploitation, aware of the value of his labor! You can contact us via our Twitter
address ( https://twitter.com/EarthStrikeTr ) and our email address (
earthstriketurkey@protonmail.com ). We will provide the active communication of the
movement through our Discord server, which you can find fixed on our Twitter address due
to its convenience.
Until the world governments and companies are aware of their responsibilities towards
people, we refuse to participate in a system that fills their pockets. Until our demands
are fulfilled, there will be no banks, offices full of employees, schools full of children.

An alliance of non-hierarchical groups formed over the last few months, the Green
Anticapitalist Front is attempting to provide a link between the extensive anarchist
experience of green direct action and the latest wave of climate change activism. Below,
the group outlines its background and ideas for future activity. ---- The ideas behind the
Green Anticapitalist Front have been brewing in the background for some time, as many
anti-capitalists have already been involved in direct ation groups like Earth First! and
Reclaim the Power. ---- When the Extinction Rebellion (XR) protests phenomenon came along
we were faced with a choice: either engage with an inherently reformist project which
worked with the police or try to create a new front which could bring together different
strands of anti-capitalism for actions which were directly antagonistic to capital. We
recognised action was needed, and quickly, so standing on the sidelines or simply
critiquing XR was not an option.
We started as four people in the London Anarchist Federation's ecology working group and
although we were confident of our critique of capitalism's role in causing climate change
and the State's role in facilitating this, we felt that there was a lot to be learned from
other political currents about what a future ecotopia might look like and how we might
achieve this.
A broad front could offer a space for cross-fertilisation of ideas, to learn from projects
such as the Internationalist Commune in Rojava, and build solidarity networks across
existing groups. With this as our starting point we have aimed to build a network of
activists from across the anti-authoritarian left that offers an alternative to the
liberal politics of XR.
We start from the premise that any environmental movement must acknowledge that under the
current capitalist system it is the working class who will bear the brunt of both the
effects of climate change and the costs to mitigate these. This is the unspoken truth
which underlies all green capitalism solutions; the costs of adaption will be socialised
whilst the profits will be kept private. We are heading into dangerous territory if we do
not challenge this idea, or the ‘strong borders' rhetoric coming from both major political
parties in the UK which will most likely be used to keep climate refugees out.
This same logic will be used to ensure our living standards are maintained while those in
less economically developed countries will face greater and greater threats to their
livelihoods. As climate change begins to bite we are more likely to see war and militarism
stoked by the tensions between countries for resources and this too must be fought.
We must state that while we are critical of some of XR's politics and tactics we can not
but be impressed by the scale of the action they achieved in the Rebellion Week of Spring
2019, particularly as it moved away from static occupations pre-arranged with the police.
In solidarity with their actions we arranged our own demonstration where we took to the
City of London to bring some Rebellion Week disruption to the heart of the global
financial network. Although we were sadly unable to take over the stock exchange (next
time, we promise) we held a lively procession through the City with demonstrations outside
financial institutions and banks. As a first action we felt this was incredibly successful
as with a fraction of the numbers of XR we were able to cause significant disruption by
not working with the police and allowing a diversity of tactics to unfold. As our movement
grows we hope to achieve greater actions that are confrontational to capital as well as
develop our ideas of what the future could look like post-capitalism.
We were heartened that as Rebellion Week progressed XR's tactics and targets began to
mirror our own as they stopped announcing their actions to the police and began to pick
financial targets to highlight the link between capitalism and climate change. We feel
we've engaged positively with many members of XR and were even invited to speak at their
open assembly.
We hope our groups can continue to work in tandem and that our ideas and tactics will be
more generally accepted by the movement; particularly now the leadership of XR have
decided that entering the state apparatus through elections is their next plan.
Over the Summer we hope to meet and broaden the Green Anticapitalist Front further and
gain inspiration and strength from other political tendencies and groups. The world 50
years from now will look very different from the one we are currently in - the question is
what actions can we take to make sure the global working class thrives in balance with
other natures and avert climate catastrophe. For us the answer is destroying capitalism:
if you feel the same, join us.
Climate struggle is class struggle!

No one trust's the government to fairly and effectively organise the distribution of food
and medicines in the chaotic week's after Brexit. ---- Recent crises such as the aftermath
of Grenfell, recent floods have shown that it is volunteers and local community groups who
fill the void left by government incompetence. At Grenfell the situation was described as
similar to actions in Kropotkin's Mutual Aid. ---- The opportunity afforded by the post
Brexit government inertia will be far greater ---- Anarchists need to set up local FOOD
DISTRIBUTION GROUPS to ensure the fair distribution of food and medicines. We need to
wrench this process away from government. Initially these FDGs will be area based but
later street by street and working co-operatively to ensure equality of food supplies.
The FDGs will also act as the mechanism by which STOCKPILING BY THE RICH will be reported
and acted upon. As people said in WW2 'we don't mind the hardship as long as its fairly
distributed'.
Indeed ww2 offers us a good example of working class spirit with a clear moral sense of '
them and us'.
Bread queues were often cited by the Bolsheviks and anarchists as the prelude to
revolution - we need to start thinking the same way now.
We need to et up local FDGs now so they are in place from the start.

The Saguenay chapter of the world organization Anonymous for Voiceless held a
sensitization campaign Saturday, August 17, at the Place du citoyen in Chicoutimi. ----
The activists held a Cube Of Truth . Action flagship Anonymous for Voiceless . It is a
non-intrusive action where masked and silent activists are placed back to back to form an
area where the passer-by can view the footages presented. The activists of AV Saguenay
have also selected Canadian slaughterhouse footages to bring this reality closer to our
plates. ---- Only those who came to the Cube of Truth on their own were approached by
other non-masked activists. Opening the dialogue on the feelings of the passer-by in the
face of images. They are also distributing additional sources of information to deepen
their knowledge of the animal products industry. As well as inviting them to take up the
challenge 21 days vegan .
The event which lasted more than 2 hours and a half attracted the interest of more than a
dozen people. Also arousing the curiosity of motorists. AV Saguenay activists have
expressed interest in reiterating the experience. We wish them success.

Social movements are often told by journalists working in the mainstream media in a
misleading and biased way. Far from the forces that subject journalists, the Rapport de
force website tells the story of struggles and gives voice to those who no longer have it.
---- In April, Rapport de force [1]blew out its first two candles. Two years dealing with
info for social movements. To tell the struggles, to go through the demonstrations, to try
to make intelligible the bad blows of the government or the bosses. The task is immense,
but so necessary. ---- The bias of this information site is to treat with kindness those
who are most often dispossessed of their power, but who decide to act to no longer suffer.
A benevolence that too many media reserve for those who already have everything: power,
money, influence and word well assured.
For twenty-four months, the editorial staff has been bending over backwards, some days in
eight, to try to meet these challenges. To celebrate his second birthday, Rapport de force
went to meet his readers. Debates and support evenings were organized during the month of
May on the theme of journalistic treatment of social movements.
Time is money ... no info
These debates helped to highlight why and how traditional and established media treat
information about social movements in an altered way. The subject is often treated in a
biased way because the journalist has to deal with different forces influencing his "
objectivity ": the time granted to treat the subject ; the balance of power between the
media and the capitalist-owner ; the social class of the journalist.
Journalists must today produce ever more exclusive information without taking the time to
check the sources. Articles and dispatches are copied from one journalist to another,
often word for word. Thus the same approximations and the same reading biases accumulate
and propagate easily.
The editorial lines of many media are grouped and often confused with the interests of
today's capitalists. The Diplomatic World and the Press and Money Party (PPA) publishes a
regularly updated map [2]of the concentration of the news media (newspapers, TV, radio
...) in the hands of different men of the world. 'business. The standardization of
information and its allegiance to the ruling class !
Social reproduction and corporatism
Schools of journalism and co-opting of journalists in editorial offices allow the social
reproduction of a certain bourgeois journalism. Thus, in this entre-soi, no place is made
for non-standard and even less revolutionary social movements !
Power relations are extremely limited and his future is not assured. Free to be accessible
to all, without advertising to preserve its independence, it depends exclusively on its
readership. As much to say it without makeup: the following depends greatly on its readers!
