Irish Prison Protest Begins
On Monday 19th June Republican Prisoners Of War (POW's) began a protest action in Maghaberry, this is the first in a series of protests planned by Republican POW’s in the gaol. POW’s are making clear that they will not accept the sub standard conditions on the segregated wing, they will not be criminalised nor will they be intimidated or coerced by the petty restrictions being imposed by prison screws to make the day to day life in the gaol for POW’s more difficult.

Emergence
Welcome to the twenty-first century, welcome to social retrogression and the new barbarism – primitive theological values and barbarism have temporarily stolen the post-modern age. Quite an irony in today’s highly advanced society but the reality of barbarism and retrogression are undeniable. The world’s most advanced technological nation is a perfect example. America has succumbed to theological ideology and all the bigoted, avaricious, violent values associated with primitive religion and b...

Capitalism--not People's Park--killed Cody's Books (Part 1)
Since the announcement that the original Cody's Books in Berkeley is going out of business, local pundits, politicians, capitalists, and scissorbills have created a shit-storm. As happens so many times when influential businesses close, the capitalist class and its enablers have predictably placed the blame for this tragedy upon the shoulders of the usual suspects: the homeless, young punks, holdovers from the 1960s counterculture, and the city of Berkeley itself. As usual, the real truth goe...

the flyer handed out at today's S.C.F. solidarity action
Here are PDF files and the text of a leaflet that was handed out during this morning's brief blockade of a Santa Cruz intersection.
