A-Infos (en) Britain, London, Class War Federation: 24/11: It's Confirmed: we're back

Comrade Ian Bone has got it right...we are re-launching the most controversial Working 
Class Movement in Britain. ---- Whilst we cannot ignore the scepticism of many of the 
bloggers and cyber nerds who post criticism from the loneliness of their own bedrooms, 
whilst wishing that they were part of anything, we are enthused, full of energy and ready 
for action! ---- Yes, too long have passed with us wasting away, waiting to be directed by 
the fools in government. We agree. A challenge to you all, join the only war in the world, 
the Class War. ---- To all members, please update your contact details with 
londoncwf[at]yahoo.co[dot]uk. We will check your credentials. A not-so-public announcement 
will be made within the next few weeks. ---- The rest of you, we are mobilising several 
actions during the Mayday and election weeks, and off course before. Keep your eyes open 
or even, if you dare, join the War, start your own local Class War group. We will come to 
your local meeting within a month, should you need support, motivation, ideas, speakers or 
just a kick up the arse.

13/11: 161 news from Ghent....Jürgen and Paolo free!
Category: General
Posted by: Admin
ClassWar urges comrades worldwide to support and write to Jürgen and Paolo
A.C.A.B.

In the night of the 6th of October, Jürgen Goethals didn't come home. He
was picked off the streets by cops, put in front of a prosecutor and
locked up in the prison of Ghent.

Earlier that day, a gang of fascists were hosted once more by the
tolerant city of Ghent. Something, which, was apparently not appreciated
by everyone. In several places, people expressed their discord by
causing damage to symbols of this capitalist society. We found out later
that Jürgen is alleged of having participated in these protest actions.

The following days, several people are harassed by cops. A week and a
half later, a house search takes place at the house of Paolo Melis. He
is requested to report two days later at the police station for an
interrogation. On this day, the 21st of October, he is arrested in the
afternoon on his way home. He as well, disappears behind the bars of the
Nieuwe Wandeling.

On the 9th of November, the detention of Jürgen and Paolo was confirmed.
The file was sent to the correctional court; they will appear before the
judge within two weeks.

We will not rest until we can embrace our comrades, how and when we want to.

Jürgen and Paolo free!
Against every form of imprisonment!
For the destruction of prison and its world.

Ghent, the night of 6 on 7 October:
Splintered glass, dripping paint. The justice palace is damaged by
vandals. Ten thousand euros worth of damage according to the court. What
inspired the burst of fury against one of the pillars of democracy?
Destructive flames are licking the plastic garbage bins all over the
centre of Ghent. Money spitting ATMs, there for the comfort of the
permanent consumer, are affected by the fire. Firemen and police are
running everywhere at once. Chaos and sirens on all sides.

Regional television also reports that a few rightwing students are
treated with a dose of physical demoralising critique (the president of
the fascist student organisation NSV receives a few well directed
punches). On the St-Pieterssquare, the KVHV [catholic rightwing student
organisation] organises a debate on Islam in Europe. A clique of
persistent rightwing "democrats", among others Dewinter, Dedecker etc
[rightwing politicians], countered by the Islamists of AEL
[Arab-European League]. A few blocks away, in a university in the Voskes
avenue, the NSV (the unofficial student club on the Vlaams Belang,
fascist party), celebrates the beginning of the academic year. Last
year, the NSV organised a debate with Filip Dewinter as speaker. The
university building where this debate would have taken place was
occupied by antifascists. An attack of the fascists, led by Führer Filip
was countered. The obstruction of this alleged right of free speech for
fascists was not to be repeated.

So, this year, an impressive police force was deployed to let the
promoters of the Vlaamsche democracy do their thing without being
bothered. Since a gathering on the place and time set by them would only
fall flat against a blue wall, this year, the reaction took different
forms. The parties didn't go unnoticed; Ghent was startled by a
spontaneous and wayward eruption of chaos.

The political advance of extreme right in Flanders is not a coincidence.
The fact that fascist organisations such as the NSV and the NSA
[National Socialist Action] get a free game and are zealously protected
by the police forces has deep implications.

The extreme right tosses up all sorts of "problems" that have no factual
base. All over the world, the rupture line between a small, superrich
elite and the masses that fight daily to survive is becoming deeper
every day. Everywhere, the protectors of this elite are more and more
elaborated and better equipped. Hence the colourful variants of the cops
who dirty our streets (grey, purple, black,...uniforms, each of them with
their specialisation). Their working method ranges from a velvet
'social' way to hard repression.

The discourse of the extreme right; presenting Islam as a threat for the
"lightened" western world, presenting people on the run for a miserable
existence as parasites, not-working as scroungers,...is meant to deviate
the attention from the daily war that repeats itself between the rich
and the poor.

This story is brought to us by the media who act as mouth-piece of the
ruling elite and continue to distract us with "tittytainment" on
television and the internet, the cult of health and such. Flanders
public opinion seems to have appropriated this discourse. At the bar as
well, racism is never far away. The "others" are the enemy, not the
puppeteers who manipulate this theatre.

The aftermath:
Justice and the government are of course not very pleased with
expressions of resistance as were demonstrated that night. For a public
opinion dominated by rightwing actors, somebody has to pay. That night,
one person was arrested and accused of several arsons. Two weeks later,
another person was arrested on similar charges.
