Products expropriation from supermarket (Athens, 1/7/2008)

“Another novel robbery of foods was realised at Marinopoulos supermarket on Evdoksos street, Neos Kosmos. Unknown persons entered the super market as mere customers, filled their trolleys with foods and left the store without paying. Continuously, they distributed the foods at the people shooping in a nearby open market, throwing leaflets with slogans against costliness…”

Translation from: http://athens.indymedia.org/front.php3?lang=el&article_id=887219

Today around 12:30 an intervention was realised at Marinopoulos supermarked on Evdoksos street, at Neos Kosmos. The people’s behaviour was encouraging and supportive. A typical example of that is that during the expropriation, outside the store people gathered with their wheel-carts waiting for the products distribution.

Following is the text distributed at the open market.

Every day that passes we experience intensely the consequences of the increasing raise of prices the capital is enforcing on society, the same time that wages and pensions remain at the same poor level, leading us below survival limits. Simultaneously, every kind of experts and responsibles, cry out for the continuous raise of prices suggesting “boycottage” styled solutions that lead to the illusion of a stronge reaction to the problem.
We select to react taking products of basic needs from shelves of large supermarket chain stores and distributing them freely to those that they belong to.
We do not regard our action as robbery, because these products are the fruits of our own exploited work and belong to all of us.
This action isn’t altruistic, but a symbolism with the aim to encourage the social ensemble to an unconstrained, free circulation of goods and the conscious erasing of the cash desks, overcoming the legal limitations. For the generalisation of the challenging of state and capital.
Our choice to act with our faces covered doesn’t mean in any case to frighten the people, but to our personal security against those that think our action is illegitimate.

Initiative of anarchists for the free circulation of goods

Note: It is the fourth of this kind of expropriations. Previously, there were Sklavenitis on 31/5 and Veropoulos and DIA on 13/6

Activists disrupt work at site of opencast coal mine

29.06.2008

Activists yesterday obstructed a steamroller which was being used to set a tarmac ramp designed allow heavy plant machinery access to the fields where UK Coal intend to extract around 1 million tonnes of coal.

Once the steamroller had halted, one activist proceeded to d-lock themselves to the machine.

Once the steamroller had halted, one activist proceeded to d-lock themselves to the machine.
All remained until the police arrived, which was a considerable time later. However, the spontaneous action clearly delayed their work, as the site foreman spent much time talking to the police etc.

London, Brighton & Manchester Critical Masses commemorate dead cyclists

June’s Critical mass in London saw a slightly different route. As always we met at Southbank and managed to leave at 7.15pm.

Following the killing of Marie Vesco on the A23 her friends, rampART and Food Not Bombs asked people to ride to Brixton, where she served free food every Sunday afternoon with Brixton Food Not Bombs.

Approximately 600 cyclists left Waterloo going South via Lambeth North, then Elephant& Castle, going round a few times stopping the traffic. Via the Oval we went to Brixton, where we stopped at Windrush Square. By now there were maybe 300-400 cyclists left (there was a bit of North-London snobbery). Different people spoke about Marie and how they missed her. How she died and why she worked with Brixton FoodNotBombs and how giving out free food was so important to her. There was a minute’s silence for her.

Then we cycled North again, police stopped us halfway up towards Stockwell. They had tried to dictate the tempo previously, but rogue cyclists broke through, stopped the traffic ahead of the police line and in that way forced the police to let the Mass go (Health and Safety and all…).

They managed to block Stockwell Road and we didn’t quite get the momentum of breaking through. To the coppers’ surprise the tip of the Mass turned around, cycling back on themselves and turning off the main road further down (Sidney Road I think). We made our way to the Oval, cycling past the Cricket knobs, some of which were using bad language, when we came in sight. Others were supportive.

Vauxhall Bridge ended up being a bit of a splitter were we lost a few people. Going across the bridge, past Parliament we hit the square, encircling it a couple of times, until something happened with the sound system (as always) not quite sure what. music stopped. Raising bikes, blocking road, we then went to see the queen. The whole ride took about two hours and a bit. Nice atmosphere, good mix of people and bikes and so good to have some music on the way (three sound systems).

What happened with the sound system on the North side of Parliament Square was that the police stopped it playing and riders strongly objected to this ban which caused a long traffic holdup.

The cycle police keep on targeting Critical Mass sound systems in the SOCPA zone around Parliament while doing nothing to stop sound systems in cars, buses and lorries. Also the SOCPA legislation is currently under review and other police are tending not to enforce it.

On the arson of Sprider store (Athens, 28/6/2008)

“After puting off the fire, firemen found gas canisters inside the store, a fact leading invstigations to an arson case, and police takes over…”

“After puting off the fire, firemen found gas canisters inside the store, a fact leading invstigations to an arson case, and police takes over…”

Communique sent via e-mail to directactiongr@yahoo.gr:

On June 28, 2008 we chose to strike one of the well-known Sprider chain stores, at Lykovrissi. This choise wasn’t random at all.

We live an every day life turned into an arena of competition as well as accumulation and demonstration of lifeless objects. The expensive car, the classy outfit, the new mobile phone and fast internet are the modern values of your world. The consumer crowds grumbles over costliness while they buy off at their shopping therapy a piece of “joy” and a sterile image of success and show-off. In our days, humans seek for an identity at the new accessories of their mobile phones, their cars’ covers and fashion trends. And everything seems cool.

It is enough for one to choose, of Saturday night’s dilemma between Kolonaki or Psyrri area, the right dress, the appropriate mobile phone and most of all that fake smile, to impress everybody around.

When it comes to everyday life, the lack of communication, loneliness, the slow suicide of alienation, the servitude to a job, the cops’ orders, the reporter’s truth, the bosses’ exploitation… Who cares about all that? Besides, they’re not even a life-style trend to be advertised and followed faithfully.

Thus, all of you faithful consumers, titled with misery and proprietors of the lie can keep dressing up your fancy nothingness tissued with all the shades of compromise and indifference. We instead have chosen for ourselves the colors of war: As long as our life suffocates in the tissue of commercial advertise, useless objects, stylish orders and all the symbols of a consumer paradise, our rage with consiousness will keep searching for break-outs.

We had written in our communique concerning our previous strike against the Aigaleo Police Station, that we do not need an incident or a concurrence to get to action. Now though, we come with an event. On July 11, 2008 the comrades Marios Tsourapas and Chrissostomos Kontorevithakis face a jury, for their arsonist attempt against a municipal police car, an action they have claimed responsibility for, and stand up to it.

All we have to say on that, is that the material damages and the total destruction of this luxurious store are illustrative of our wilfulness, in case of our comrades imprisonment continues.

Arrests As International Whaling Commission Fails To Protect Whales

Fifteen people were arrested by police at a meeting of the International Whaling Commission (IWC), held this year in Santiago, Chile.

Fifteen people were arrested by police at a meeting of the International Whaling Commission (IWC), held this year in Santiago, Chile. The protesters were supposedly trying to ‘storm’ the meeting but other reports state that the mere presence of people in front of the meeting’s venue was seen as a ‘security threat’.

The IWC meets annually to regulate the whaling industry and make decisions on conservation of whale populations. So far the meeting hasn’t reached any agreements and the commission continues to be strongly devided between the pro- and anti-whaling nations. Skye Bortoli, an activist from Teens Against Whaling described the meeting this year as ‘pathetic’, saying “this body will be known in the future as a small group of ecologically arrogant people who are condemning the world’s whales to agony and oblivion for petty politics and a few lousy bucks.”

This year, like many a year before, the IWC fails to make progress in their protection of whales. Japan and other pro-whaling nations push for a partial lifting of the ban on commercial whaling. Also, the US (which has been involved with Japan’s whaling industry) has been pushing for the regulation of ‘scientific whaling’, something which conservations argue would only legitimize an already illegal activity. Japan uses the ‘scientific research’ as a smokescreen for their illegal commercial whaling practices.

There has been a debate about whether Greenland should be allowed a bigger quota of whales for their hunt and discussions are ongoing about Japan’s hunt in the Southern Ocean. It has been reported that the earliest the IWC might come to some kind of agreement is by next year’s meeting, which is to be held in Madeira, Portugal. The commission continues to be strongly divided between pro-whaling (Japan, Denmark, Norway, Iceland) and anti-whaling (Australia, United Kingdom, New Zealand, South Africa) nations.

Captain Paul Watson, from the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society, did manage to get into the hotel this year. He normally never makes it inside as the Sea Shepherd is the only organisation officially banned from attending IWC meetings. Paul, like Skye Bortoli, isn’t impressed with the state of affairs at this year’s meeting: “There were many things that could come out of this meeting. Japan could withdraw from the IWC and become a renegade whaling nation along with their partners in conservation crime Norway and Iceland. Or a compromise may be brokered that will allow the Japanese to withdraw from the Southern Ocean without losing face or thirdly, and most likely, nothing will come out of this meeting at all. From the way things are going so far it looks like Sea Shepherd will be returning to the Southern Ocean to once again enforce the regulations that the IWC and the nations of the world refuse to uphold. Oh well, I come to these meetings with no expectations hoping to be pleasantly surprised. After more than three decades I am still waiting.“

Greenpeace was also present in Chile, with a dominant presence among the various anti-whaling NGO’s and conservationists. Dave writes on the Greenpeace blog: “We hope something good comes out of these meetings, and that the commission transforms itself into a body that protects the whales and not the whalers. While commissioners sit in rooms talking, whales are still dying in the Southern Ocean and around the world from commercial whaling, ship strikes, sonar-related deaths, netting and pollution, amongst other human-induced hazards.”

On a positive note, Chile, the host of this year’s meeting has declared a permanent ban on whaling in its waters. Speaking at a former whale processing plant that Chile closed in 1967, President Michelle Bachelet said she sent a bill to Congress proposing a whale sanctuary along Chile’s coastline and declared the whale a national monument.

Shall We Demo Rolf, You And I?

Last week saw one of the more bizarre demos in the history of Bath Animal Action, as they took the fight to Bath Racecourse. The cause was well known animal welfare activist Rolf Harris doing a gig after a night of racing at the course, which BAA considered a tad hypocritical bearing in mind the terrible death and injury and whipping rate of race horses. (A one in four chance of a race ending in death at Bath race course, and much higher national statistic, not to mention the fact that only 40% of purpose-bred horses are considered ‘good enough’ to race. Evidence indicates that many of the ‘failures’ are shot at the stables or slaughtered for meat). So opposed to animal cruelty is Rolf, that he even wrote a legendary song entitled ‘Slaughter on the Ice (shall we do it you and I?)’ in which he condones the murder of animal abusers. Don’t believe me? You can check it out on the Rolfsters’ Myspace! Members of BAA turned up on the night, joined by a two-strong counter demo to encourage Rolf not to do any more race course gigs and let punters know about the cruelty they support. Afterwards, activists headed inside, leafleting over 250 cars and, noticing a stack of pallets by the stage, one scaled the pallets and blasted Rolf’s animal rights song at him through an MP3 player rigged to a megaphone, while the crowd were shown disturbing images of horse racing accidents. Security stood by, looking uneasy, and formed a line to try and prevent activists getting on the track (something they had no intention of doing!). After reminding Rolf of his own moral convictions through the mediums of song and heckling, the activists slipped into the night, job done. What was supposed to be the race course’s biggest ever bash turned into a coup for the protesters, forcing the brutality of horse racing to the top of the agenda, and dominating talk and media coverage of the event. And as for Rolf – he even praised the demo in the Chronicle! We even heard a rumour that later that night, a balaclava’d pensioner was heard screaming ‘burn, you animal abusing bastards!’ in an Aussie accent while dousing the main stand in kerosene. Shall we do it Rolf?

Climate Action Starts on Your Dinner Plate

Bon appetit! On Tuesday the 3rd June, members of Bath Activist Network and Bath Animal Action proved that, sometimes, there is such thing as a free lunch, as part of a nationally co-ordinated day of action on the relationship between the environment and food production. Designed to coincide with the start of the UN talks on Food and Climate Change, activists gave out delicious vegan food from 12-3pm near the Pump Rooms on Stall Street, pointing out the negative ecological impacts of the animal products industry, such as land theft, deforestation, methane emissions, food scarcity and aquifer pollution. Food for thought, you might say. They also offered a side helping of education on food miles, biofuels, deadly agricultural chemicals and GMOs, advocating wild foraging, grow-your-own schemes, skip diving, and positive local food initiatives to sink your teeth into, such as the London Road and Southside Food Co-ops. The stall was much-loved by nearly all, especially the chocolate torte – although it did leave the nearby sausage vendor and Environmental Health busybodies with a sour taste.

See here for leaflet: http://blog.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view&friendID=103798308&blogID=402206974.

And for all of you who missed it on the day, here’s the recipe for that torte:

1. Line a circular dish with grease-proof paper and smear with a small amount of vegetable oil
2. Smash up some hobnobs and coat the bottom of the circular dish
3. Melt the following ingredients in a bowl over hot water, stirring: 450g dark chocolate, 5 table spoons of brandy, 5 table spoons glucose syrup or liquid glucose, available from most chemists.
4. When melted, add 1 pint of soya cream and stir.
5. Pour the mixture into the dish and put in fridge overnight 6. When you take it out of the fridge, dust with chocolate powder.

Veganism, You Can’t Say ‘Fayrer’ Than That

The weekend of the 31st of May and 1st of June saw a contingent of Bath veggies take a trip to the annual Bristol Vegan Fayre. The event was a vegan’s dream, with bands ranging from Aswad to Bad Manners, and more free samples of vegan chocolate than you could ever imagine. As well as this, the event promoted environmental awareness, advice on healthy ethical living, national and global animal rights campaigns, and offered vegan cuisines from around the world, as well as (supposedly) the largest vegan barbeque ever. The debate of much of this year’s fayre was also ‘raw food’ diets and more activisty fare revolving around ongoing campaigns against cruelty. The weekend was a goodun, and upon tasting vegan cheese ‘Sheese’, the one veggie in the Bath contingent flipped to veganism, taking her boyfriend with her – result! Oh yeah, thanks to all the stalls who donated food to the Bath free lunch event such as Sheese, Yagga and Harvest.

Bath Foie Gras Free! We Won!

Finally! After a year of relentless demos, blood, sweat, tears, and a good deal of begging for mercy, Bath centre is Foie gras free! The news came after the Royal Crescent agreed to drop the sick delicacy after a noisy demo followed by what we can genuinely call a civilised and pleasant discussion (seriously!). After that, it only took a phone call to the Bath Spa hotel to persuade them to ditch foie gras. The final list of establishments who no longer sell reads as follows – Le Petit Cochon (now ‘Pinch’), Epicerie Gourmande, Beaujolais, Bistro No.5 (who, like Le Petit Cochon, unfortunately had to learn the hard way what happens when foie gras slips back onto the menu – direct action stylee!) The Fine Cheese Company, Royal Crescent Hotel, Bath Spa Hotel and Cavendish Hotel, who were up for a scrap, but ultimately got KO’d at the end of round one! After a long, hard and often tiring campaign, we are glad to be able to leave the foie gras campaign on a high note after dealing with reasonable folks such as the head chef of the Royal Crescent. Never ones to take a break, Bath Animal Action are busy sniffing out more animal abuse in the city, and will be checking up on certain restaurants on a very regular basis. So, for now at least, from all of us over at Foie Gras Free HQ – over and out!

Smashed EDO

On Wednesday the 4th June, 5-600 anarchists and anti-war campaigners from around the country descended on the offices of bomb builders EDO MBM in Brighton, for a colourful and riotous Carnival Against The Arms Trade! A small delegation from BAN joined the throng. EDO, owned by former Nazi colluders ITT, are the manufacturer of the Paveway missile system, used in the murder of thousands in Iraq, as well as other nasty toys used in the occupation of Palestine. However, their evil has not gone unnoticed, and they’ve been the target of the 4-year ‘Smash EDO’ campaign [of ‘On The Verge’] fame, forcing the company to the loss of a huge court injunction to sell off their Rugged Systems division, and cycle through nine company directors. The parade started at midday on the Level, with sound systems, a critical mass bike ride, puppetry, circus performers and a gathering crowd kitted out in various shades of blood red. The chanting mass then made its way across the sunlit reclaimed streets of Brighton to the foot of Home Farm Road, where the company is based, carried along by the sound of samba and running police. At last, outside the offices, and faced by a heavy Sussex Police and London Forward ‘Intelligence’ Team welcome, the scene turned into a virtual music video: baton swinging, rock throwing, pushes and counter-pushes, all set to the tune of Rage Against the Machine’s ‘Know Your Enemy,’ and the sound of the police. Injuries were traded, eight arrests were made, one copper received a white gloss paint makeover, and the campaign lived up to its name, with the trashing of windows, the director’s car and computers. As one banner said, ‘Stop killing people, you fucking twats.’ Whoop, whoop.

Tricky Tesco Tries It Again

Is it a turd that won’t flush? Is it that cousin you’ve been trying to avoid for years unexpectedly knocking on the door? Worse, it’s another fucking Tesco! Just a quick shout out to all concerned with the blood-sucking parasite otherwise known as Tesco. It appears the store’s property developers have purchased the Bath Press site in a bid to open their first superstore in Bath. Groups including Bath Activist Network are already plotting against Tesco, and the coming campaign promises to be a bitter fight, but one that we can win. But we will not win unless we move away from the dour nimbyism that has dominated ‘Bath heritage’ style protest over the past couple of years. What we need is creativity, energy and an understanding that wherever Tesco goes, and whatever it does, people, animals and the planet get fucked over. We need – and are busy building – an uncompromising campaign that stands up for Moorland Road, and all small traders, stands up for the environment, checkout assistants, shelf stackers, Ecuadorian banana pickers and Chinese sweatshop workers, all used and abused by Tesco. We will fight Tesco and we will win, but we will not just fight Tesco away from our doorsteps, we will fight it as an idea, in its entirety – we will fight against everything that Tesco is, and hopes to be. The writing is on the wall Tesco – out of Oldfield Park, off our planet! To get involved in the campaign, Contact us at bathactivistnet@yahoo.co.uk

Bath Bomb Benefit Bash!

Bath Bomb doesn’t print itself – you do, on your boss’s photocopier! But there are still costs involved with running a free sheet, and as always, we’re skint. That’s why we’re using BANers Jon and Fin’s joint birthday party as an excuse to scrounge cash off the unsuspecting public. The Gig will start at 8.00pm at the Porter Butt and the suggested donation on the door is £4. The line up includes Welsh folk-punk aficionados Kiln(A)boy, local dubsters Dirty Revolution and psychobilly legends the Cheater Slicks. We’re also splitting the proceeds with the Bristol Anarchist Book fair collective. Good music, good causes, good times, so get yourself down!

Bubbling Under – Climate Camp Special

On Sunday the 15th of June, Bubbling Under will be bringing us two masterpieces of the activist film world covering the J18 protest/riots and last year’s Camp for Climate Action at Heathrow. Thrown into the deal will be a speaker from the Climate Camp movement hell bent on talkin’ your ass down to this August’s Camp at Kingsnorth coal-fired power station in Kent. It is, as always, free entry and will be starting at 1pm, and due to the fact that most of Bath’s activists sleep in fields between mid June and September, this will be the last Bubbling under until September!

Freedom To Move, Freedom To Stay

On Thursday 15th May, from 12-2pm, 14 activists from Bristol No Borders and B.A.N., picketed the Bristol-based office of the IOM. What’s the IOM, you may ask? Hiding behind those three unassuming letters, it’s the International Office for Migration. Beyond the walls of the anonymous-seeming Parkhouse Business Centre, 10 Park Street, this shadowy institution specialises in migration management: reducing people to the equivalent of products, they direct the desperate to wherever cheap labour is demanded, and then, when the job’s done, ditch ’em. There’s no job too dirty – when national governments around the world want to wash their hands of the negative PR of deportation, kidnapping, slavery and de facto murder – i.e. sending Iraqis back to war-torn Iraq – the IOM steps in. Need an off-shore, deniable, concentration camp to forget about those pesky asylum seekers? The IOM’s the company for you! Would you like barbed wire and handcuffs with that?

But they don’t just fill a market niche, like any other business-savvy enterprise. These people determine immigration policy. They also bribe refugees to go home with cash incentives, just so it all seems nice and civil – but if you refuse, you get locked up and dragged back anyway. So, in the light of the IOM’s blatant breach of every basic human right going, the activists leafleted and spoke to passers-by, lifting the lid on the atrocities of the pen-pushers inside. The pickets will continue every month, with the next one on the 19th June.

Meanwhile, the day before in Bath, UK Border Agency grunts raided the Ocean Pearl restaurant in the Podium, arresting 7 so called ‘illegal workers’. This raid was a repeat performance of that which struck the Cinnamon restaurant of Keynsham last September [as reported in BB#2]. Clair Fennessy, running this operation, had this to say for herself: “We carry out operations like these to put a stop to illegal migrant working and its harmful social effects.”

Yeah, lady, you’re a saint.

Warning Poison Alert

Over the past couple of weeks, pet owners in bath around the Sydney Gardens/Widcombe area, have been shocked and disgusted to discover a brown syrupy liquid that has killed 4 of their dogs and caused at least 20 more to need trips to the vet. The council denies any involvement and has put up warnings. The substance, which smells of coal tar/bitumen has been sent to Bristol Uni for analysis. Dog walkers please be aware and if you have any info please contact bathanimalaction@yahoo.co.uk

STOP PRESS! So it turns out that the poison used was residue discharge from fireworks…

Coming Up

Roots, Manuva, Action. Keep your ear to the ground, the Roots Of Change are coming. This will be an event on 12th July held in the Green Park Market from 2-5pm to big up Climate Camp and distribute info on climate change issues in general. Help make this event colourful and well attended!! Contact Bath Activist Network to get involved.
