Does Cresencia wish to be a specialist in revolt and discontent?

She opens her article by claiming “the masses” are having a difficult time ignoring the reality of social control via government, corporations, and the ruling class. And that they now are mostly begging for “real democratic changes”, granted she admits a few are not begging. Her analysis of the masses which she apparently feels outside of is in reference to the recent Occupy movement.

We present a new guide on the ins and outs of computer anonymity and security.

From the introduction:

Every day we see new evidence of the State’s surveillance apparatus at work. Our cell phones are tracking devices; RFID chips threaten to make privacy impossible; surveillance cameras are on every street corner. Each new technological development brings with it a new encroachment into our lives and a new tool in the State’s arsenal of repression. With this techno-development increasing at an exponential rate, it is difficult not to feel lost, paranoid, or caged. We live in panopticon - even if the State’s eyes cannot be on us all at once, we can never be sure that we are not being watched at any given moment. This psychic omnipresence, coupled with the very real evidence of the surveillance apparatus’s repression of agents of revolt, creates paralysis. The threat of handcuff, court room, and jail cell stay our hand.

Long live the Oakland Commune!

We are looking for more pictures, witness accounts, and video from the police violence last night. Please email them to sbhcopwatch@gmail.com

Sprout Anarchist Collective is a new anarchist collective/distro in the somewhat small Midwestern town of Grand Rapids, Michigan.

Throughout our years doing anarchist work, we've noticed that there is a real lack of introductory material available to folks. While there are some great introductions to anarchism out there, there are far fewer things looking at how we actually organize, learn from our past, and fight for our future. Specifically, there isn't a lot out there about how we form collectives, open social spaces, build communities of resistance, and truly learn from each other and our experiences.

To that end, we're putting together a distro that will collect existing and new "how to" guides that will help spread this throughout our community. We plan to eventually have a full-fledged catalog that folks can order from.

The following is a personal account and analysis of the first month of OccupySTL.

In hopes of depicting a more well-rounded picture of #OccupySTL, I’m going to try and quickly describe the last 2 or 3 weeks – warts and all. It seems initial excitement (and plain lack of time to describe more) might have helped form an image of the occupation (that well not untrue) might not have touched on the less glamorous aspects. If the summary is too long, feel free to skip around. You might find “WHY WE KEEP PARTICIPATING” and “THE FUTURE” to be less depressing.

On the 2nd of September in the early morning we attacked the temple of money, the stock exchange of Athens, by placing an expropriated van with 150 kilos of ammonium nitrate (AN/FO). This action is the continuation of a strategy of attacks with large quantities of explosives in order to hurt the infrastructure of multinational and local capital, a strategy initiated the 18th of February last year with the attempt on the central offices of Citibank on Nea Kifissia and continued with the bomb attack on the Eurobank branch on Vouliagmenis avenue, Argiroupoli on May 12th last year.
