Radio Blackout – Hacking team: politiche di controllo e repressione di stato

people

Un approfondimento sul caso hacking team, la società italiana di sorveglianza informatica specializzata in software di spionaggio che smercia a Paesi e polizie di tutto il mondo, colpita questa settimana da un ingente furto di dati.
Un caso che rivela come in questo settore la sicurezza tanto invocata non esista nemmeno per i “produttori di sorveglianza” e l’occasione per noi per fare alcune riflessioni di più ampia portata sulle politiche di controllo securitario che sempre più investono, a fini repressivi, le tecnologie informatiche vecchie e nuove.

Kaunas (Lithuania): Eviction of Green House

Egzilis_Kaunas_Karnival

On Saturday, June 27, the Green House (Žalias Namas) squat/social centre in Kaunas was evicted. It had operated during the past half year in one of the abandoned wooden houses (which happened to be green).

While a couple of activists and guests were preparing dinner at the centre, a person responsible for the project of demolishing the house came and ordered them to move out. When the order wasn’t immediately obeyed, he called the police. The squatters were ordered to move out within a day or face legal prosecution. Soon the police came again and shortened the term: you’re on other peoples’ property and have to start moving now or be arrested. This time, due to the low number of people present, they started abandoning the house. The owner promised to keep an eye on the place afterwards and ensure that no one else is able to get in.

HISTORIES OF RESISTNCE

John Bowden was imprisoned for murder in 1980 with a life sentence. He was now served 34 years, in prison across England and Scootland. In that time he escaped for 18 months in 1992 and again in 2008 for a few months before recapture; he has held an assistant governor hostage for two days; and received countless beatings, solitary confinements and many other tactics of HMPs to quell dissent and resistance. Throughout, he has maintained fierce resistance, never backing down and for this- despite parole boards admission that he should now be in open jail, if not released – the Prison Service still keep him inside.

In recent months it has now become fully that he is being held due to his opposition to the prison system. They admit that he poses no threat to the public, yet his continuing work highlighting the denial of prisoners rights and the inhability of the prison system to live up to even its own rules, means they will not release him. Still he does not back down and capitulate to their wishes.

Cuando ya se ha cumplido el tiempo de plazo investigativo, y estamos a la espera de la fecha para audiencia de Javier Pino y Natalia Collado, como grupo cercano hemos querido escribir estas palabras con el objetivo de informar y dar a conocer cómo se ha llevado el caso de nuestras hermanas, acusadas de quemar un bus del transantiago hace tres meses atrás.

LOS HECHOS

En la madrugada del pasado 7 de abril, en la esquina de las calles Ecuador y Concon, ubicada en la comuna de Estación Central, la escena de una micro transantiago, recorrido 210 ardiendo en llamas interrumpía la oscuridad mientras el fuego la consumía por completo.

Nikos Romanos on Syriza and anarchism in Greece

anarchismus

(NB: Anarchist fighter and prisoner Nikos Romanos’ 31 day hunger strike ended on 10 December when, following a wave of solidarity demonstrations and riots, the Greek state gave in to his demand to be allowed to attend university classes. See earlier article. Since then the Syriza-ANEL government has unsurprisingly backtracked on this commitment, just as on their promises about austerity. Fuck Syriza and all its idiot left cheerleaders in the UK too: “total bastards, political swindlers, opportunists, hypocrites and professional chameleons”.)
