In Izhevsk, officers of Centre of Counteraction Against Extremism (CPE, new Russian political police, formed in January of 2009) are falsifying a case against members of Autonomous Action. According to Galina Shutova, who is yet a witness in the case, state wants to make her a terrorist: “Officer of CPE Artyom Ahmetzyanov said to me directly, that he wants to do anything to lock me down”.

We, the members of the Autonomous Action movement, have begun a public campaign in defense of all people in Russia who have suffered from the abuse and lawlessness of so-called Center “E” (the Russian Federation Interior Ministry’s Center for Extremism Prevention) and other law enforcement agencies. We encourage everyone to show that they care about what is happening. If you agree with the goals stated in this manifesto, join us in our public protest campaign!

What Is Center “E”? What Is the Law on “Extremism”? Why Are We Opposed?

During year 2008 and first half of the year 2009 we (together with other anarchist, anti-fascists and Social initiatives) have been involved with following projects:

1. We have been updating news section in website of ABC Moscow (http://avtonom.org/abc) with translations of news on repressions and political prisoners from Russian language to other languages and vice versa, we also maintained English language section of the website.

Russian contemporary artist Artem Loskoutov is being illegally pursued and forcibly held by militia in Novosibirsk. He is confined since Friday, 15 of May. Artem is well known in Novosibirsk as one of the leaders of underground art-scene. Since 2004, he has developed a number of performances, known to international artistic community. Currently he is accused in illegal drugs possession and in criminal political extremism.

* During mid-June 2008 the Iberian counter-information collective A Las Barricadaswww.alasbarricadas.org posed several questions to the MLCwww.mlc.acultura.org.ve an affinity group of Cuban anarchism abroad. The complete text of this interview follows.

Wrongful deeds of police do not surprise anyone in today's Russia. Disregard of law, violation of rights, illegal detention and searching are by now considered business as usual.

4th of April 7 peaceful young men were beaten up and illegally arrested by police in Moscow near Sokolniki subway station. These persons were not resisting arrest, as videos made by their friends and other eyewitnesses prove. The only thing they made to protest against the illegal arrests was merely forming a chain and demanding from police to abide laws.

A year ago Russian opponents of atomic power filed a criminal complaint in Münster against Urenco Deutschland, alleging illegal transportation of atomic waste from Gronau to Russia. The state attorney’s office started to investigate, but wanted to be quickly rid of the politically charged case. In May it stopped its investigation of the globally leading uranium enrichment firm. Now the Russian activists are demanding resumption of the investigation and have engaged a lawyer from Münster.

The background is the delivery by now of more than 21,000 tonnes of depleted uranium from Gronau to Russia. Depleted uranium (DU) is a waste product created in uranium enrichment. Urenco and the licensing and supervisory bodies in North-Rhine Westphalia and Berlin claim that the DU is valuable recyclable material, but there is no commercial world market for it. It is used for armour-breaching ammunition and to dilute weapons-grade uranium. Urenco claims the DU is re-enriched in Russia to return to Gronau. The reality is that since 2003 Urenco has not imported uranium from Russia. Instead, RWE Nukem became the importer of natural uranium.

We are history - a call to mobilization for november 17th 2007

It's been years we have asked everybody to take responsibility as
collectively as possible for what the mobilizations against G8 in Genoa
were.
The arrogance of Genoa prosecutors during the final speech of their
accusation in the court case against 25 protestors accused of devastation
and sacking seems to have eventually aroused the hearts and brains of
300000 people that in Genoa opposed themselves to the politics of the G8.
We think this is not the time for childish hairsplittings and sectarism.
What we need now is a mass demo and an unconditioned participation to all

* A member of the editorial collective of El Libertario www.nodo50.org/ellibertario; in Spanish & English) prepared this article for the 6th edition of the Costa Rican (A) journal La Libertad [September 2007; http://revistalalibertad.blogspot.com] in response to an inconsistent effort to establish impossible affinities between Chavism and Anarchism.

One of the successes of the inter-bourgeois confrontation that has been happening in Venezuela for almost a decade is the moving of the media polarization into an international space. This biased and infantilized point of view could well confuse some less awakened libertarian spirits. This indeed seems to be the case with the opinions voiced by companero Rogelio Cedeno in his text ‘Venezuela today: Realities and half truths’, published in # 5 of the Costa Rican journal La Libertad. Cedeno in a turnabout of intellectual prestidigitation asks for the social situation in Costa Rica precisely what he denies for that of Venezuela: a non-problematic and non-Manichean point of view. While, on the one hand, the Costa Rican movement opposed to the Free Trade Agreement is “…a wholly plural movement that breaks with the simplistic schema based upon the existence of a presumed polarization between left and right”, on the other hand, in Venezuela, the forces that are not aligned with the government represent, “…the brutal violence and cynicism of the forces of reaction”, that desperately yearn for a return to the days of the adeco-copeyan democracy. A strange business this…barely a paragraph earlier Cedeno had affirmed that, “visions in black and white are of little use to those of us who keep on thinking and struggling for a better world.” This very same horizon is shared by a constellation of revolutionary left-wing groups who, despite being made invisible by the propaganda of both the private sector and the state, reject the past as much as they do the present and continue, against the current, to struggle for a better future.

Police are questioning a neo-Nazi who claims to be the internet distributor of a video showing the apparent sum- mary execution of two non-Slavs.

In the video a Tajik national and an ethnic Dagestani man are apparently killed in a forest against the backdrop of a Nazi flag. One victim is beheaded and the other is shot while kneeling by a prepared grave, to shouts of “Glory to Russia” and a soundtrack of heavy metal music.

The 24-year-old student from the southern town of Maikop turned himself in after the video was picked up by Russian television and shown in full, causing public outrage.

A Dawning Dictatorship? (911-2B & NSPD-51)

By Captain Eric H. May
Military Correspondent

A Piecemeal Prologue

Half of the American people believe that the Bush administration is on the hunt for Al-Qaeda for the 9/11 attacks. Another half believe that 9/11 was a Bush administration inside job, attributable not to Al-Qaeda, but to "Al-CIA-duh." Both halves, though, agree on one thing, and aren't shy about saying it: This summer we are likely to suffer another terror attack, a "911-2B."

The list of notables' quotables begins with the springtime warning of the vice president to NBC's Tim Russert on Meet the Press:

- Fidel Castro is in his last throes. Who do you think will rule in Cuba after his death?
º Fidel Castro is not dead yet, but even if he reappears, his role as leader of the revolution and chief of government is over. Raul has for now inherited the dictatorship but with his brother’s disappearance it’s unlikely he can exert power for long. Many factors indicate the opposite.

* The newspaper Tierra y Libertad, mouthpiece of the Iberian Anarchist Federation, published in edition 227 of June 2007 this manifesto of the International of Anarchist Federations (IAF-IFA;www.iaf-ifa.org) in support of those who in Venezuela today confront the bureaucratic capitalist project of the Chavez government as well as their social democrat and right wing opponents.

In the first three months of 2007, 23 popular demonstrations were repressed by the Venezuelan government and 99 activists were detained. This fact speaks of the growing unease as well as the criminalization of social struggle in this Latin-American country, in a reality masked by the propaganda and mystification of a regime that paints itself as the vanguard of ‘21st Century socialism’ with the support of different groupings and persons associated with the authoritarian left throughout the world.
