Cat Has Had the Time of His Life

Our Daily Bleed...


Yesterday the people woke
stripped & with nothing to cover themselves,
hungry & with nothing to eat,
& now today has dawned justly hateful
& justly bloody.
In their hands the rifles
long to become lions
to finish with ferocity those
who have been so many times ferocious.
Even if you have no weapons,
people of one hundred thousand strengths,
don't let your bones thin;
punish those who wound you
as long as you have fists,
fingernails, saliva, & you have
heart, entrails, guts,
testicles & teeth.

It's Not Fair?: Epping Forrest, England: FAIRLOP FAIR. Daniel Day found a gigantic, ancient hollow oak tree in the forest fitted with a round table that seated twelve & Day held an annual picnic there. The picnics grew into a full-scale English Fair. Then one year a bough fell from the tree, mortally wounding Day. He ordered his coffin made from the bough. Shortly thereafter the oak burned down. & Fairlop Fair was no more.

As in the USA & England, Free Thought in Australia encompassed breaks with 'traditional' thinking in areas besides religion. Soon a youngish band of free thinkers rebelled against the restrictions of organised Free Thought itself, one result of which was the Melbourne Anarchist Club (MAC).

Bart De Ligt, anarchist

On July 27, 1924, at the "Maison du Peuple" in the Hague, De Ligt spoke alongside Ferdinand Domela Nieuwenhuis, Rudolf Rocker, Emma Goldman, Pierre Ramus, et al, for the 20th anniversary of the A.I.A.

He was active in the 1930s also, & wrote the handbook of passive resistance, The Conquest of Violence, especially influential amongst English & American pacifists.

"S'il y a des conflits armés entre les pouvoirs réactionnaires et les masses en révolte, les tenants de l'action révolutionnaire non-violente sont toujours du côté des révoltés, même quand ceux-ci ont recours à la violence."

De Ligt did not live to see the government-sponsored butchery of WWII, as he died in 1938.

Carlo Cafiero
1892 -- Carlo Cafiero dies, in a section of Nocera’s asylum.

After being arrested & soon released, in 1881 Cafiero went to London, where he remained for a long time. There he was the victim of a strange disease, bringing him to feel persecuted, seeing everywhere spies & being frightened by the telephone ... Emaciated & feverish he chose exile & in Chiasso he again attempted suicide. Emilio Bellerio took Cafiero to his house in Locarno (Switzerland) & Errico Malatesta wrote of him,

"if his mind is ill, his heart is still healthy..."

Malatesta, in a letter to Serafino Mazzotti, remembered the ancient & beloved comrade with these touching words:

"Carlo was first of all great for his inner nature, for the affect treasure, for the ingenuousness of his faith. These memories must not be lost, even today when there is the need to elevate the moral level of anarchists, when we must react against egoism & brutality that invade us, to return to unselfishness, to sacrificial spirit, to the sentiment of love of which Carlo was a so splendid example."

— Giampiero Galzerano, modified, 1992.

1894 -- France: Chamber of Deputies meet & pass additional "Lois scélérates," laws designed to reinforce repression already being used against the anarchist movement. The first set of these "villainous laws" were passed in December 1893.

17 et 27 juillet.- Nouvelles "lois scélérates" de sûreté générale contre les anarchistes.
[Sources]


red & black arrow The "Lois scélérates" ("villainous laws") violate the elementary principles of the right of expression, freedom of the press, & criminalize individuals who — for a simple article in a newspaper, a friendship, or an indiscretion or slip of the tongue — may now land unexpectedly in prison doing hard labor.

Needless to say, free expression is now impossible. The courts take even further steps to prohibit printing of critical opinion or debate during the trials, for fear they will be used for libertarian propaganda.

Source: http://www.ephemanar.net/juillet26.html Le 28 juillet 1894, à Paris, la Chambre des députés vote les dernières "Lois scélérates" destinées à renforcer la répression contre les menées anarchistes. Elles violent les principes élémentaires du droit d'expression, de la liberté de la presse, et criminalisent les individus qui, pour un simple article de journal, une amitié où une confidence, deviennent passibles des travaux forcés suivie de la relégation. Inutile de dire que l'expression libertaire est alors impossible. Les tribunaux prendront même le soin d'interdire la reproduction des débats lors des procès, de peur qu'ils ne servent à la propagande.

1913 -- US: Potlatch Riots. The incident feeds fears, inflamed by Alden Blethen, publisher of the "Seattle Times," who hated free speech & feared "radical elements." Blethen was highly critical of liberal Mayor Cotterill for allowing IWW labor organizers & "anarchist" street speakers to hold forth in downtown Seattle. Blethen's red-baiting led to further violence, as soldiers & sailors ransacked IWW & Socialist headquarters. The precipitous riots — attempts to suppress free speech & labor organizers — is an unsettling precursor & preview of the post-World War I nationwide Red Scare.

See "George Cotterill, Hiram Gill & the Potlatch Riots " by Murray Morgan.

Few customers are upset after discovering Amazon can erase books from their over-priced & defective machines (cracked screens).

What Orwell feared were those who would ban books. What Huxley (Brave New World) feared was that there would be no reason to ban a book, for there would be no one who wanted to read one . . . . .
