Both the corporate and alternative media have been abuzz over the actions of the several hundred participants of a black bloc contingent that smashed the windows of a Hudson’s Bay Company (HBC) retail store and TD bank, as part of the “Heart Attack” mobilization on February 13th, during the Anti-Olympic Convergence in Vancouver.

Iconoclast Issue 20: "Infighting the Good Fight"

CALL FOR INTERNATIONAL SOLIDARITY WITH CHILEAN COMRADES:

Monday, Mar 8, 2010 at 11:10 A.M.

Dear comrades,

The situation in this region called Chile is already known, thus we believe more details about the recent earthquake are not necessary, as the Internet offers a lot of information about what took place.

The group of individuals that make up the Productora de Comunicación Social* escaped physical damage, even though during the earthquake a couple of comrades from our organization were in Concepción, one of the most devastated regions - leaving the site where they were pretty much uninhabitable and losing some equipment used for the work of the organization.

This appears to be a very interesting program sponsored by the Spanish CNT. This is one event in a whole series being sponsored by the CNT-AIT in celebration of their 100th Anniversary.

National speaking tour on the recent state repression of independent workers' organisations in Europe.

In Serbia, 6 members and associates of ‘Anarcho-Syndicalist Initiative’ (ASI), the Serbian section of the International Workers’ Association (IWA) have been framed for ‘International Terrorism’ after a different group threw a petrol bomb at the Greek embassy in Belgrade, causing minor damage totalling just £18 (yes, eighteen!). They have already spent over three months in prison awaiting trial.

Meanwhile in Germany, the Berlin IWA section FAU-B (the Free Workers Union) has been effectively banned by bosses at the Babylon Cinema through the courts. Workers at the cinema joined the FAU as a radical alternative to the existing union. The German court has now banned FAU from organising and some of its members face possible prison sentences.
