In 1984 20 year old closet gay Joe
hesitantly arrives in London from Bromley for his first Gay Pride march and is
taken under the collective wing of a group of gay men and Lesbian Steph, who meet at flamboyant Jonathan and his Welsh
partner Gethin's Soho
bookshop. Not only are gays being threatened by Thatcher but the miners are on
strike in response to her pit closures and Northern Irish activist Mark Ashton
believes gays and miners should show solidarity. Almost by accident a mini-bus
full of gays find themselves in the Welsh village of Onllwyn
in the Dulais valley and through their sincere fund
raising and Jonathan's nifty disco moves persuade most of the community that
they are on the same side. When a bigot tries to sabotage the partnership with
a tabloid smear Mark turns it back on her with a hugely successful benefit
concert to which most of the villagers, now thoroughly in tune with their gay
friends, turn up. The miners are defeated and return to work but at the Pride
march...

"Bread
and Roses” scene (@0:55:00) from “Pride”
(3:08)
“As we come marching, marching, in the beauty of the
day,
A million darkened kitchens, a thousand mill-lofts
gray
Are touched with all the radiance that a sudden sun
discloses,
For the people hear us singing, "Bread and Roses,
Bread and Roses."
As we come marching, marching, we battle, too, for
men—
For they are women's children and we mother them
again.
Our lives shall not be sweated from birth until life
closes—
Hearts starve as well as bodies: Give us Bread, but
give us Roses!
As we come marching, marching, unnumbered women dead
Go crying through our singing their ancient song of
Bread;
Small art and love and beauty their drudging spirits
knew—
Yes, bread we fight for--but we fight for Roses, too.
As we come marching, marching, we bring the Greater
Days—
The rising of the women means the rising of the race—
No more the drudge and idler--ten that toil where one
reposes—
But sharing of life's glories: Bread and Roses, Bread
and Roses!”

A documentary film on what must be called Great Britain’s “eugenics policy” against the poor.
Subject: Revolts Against the Morbidity and Stench of
the Ruling Class.
Grenoble, France
Dear Colleagues
and Friends of CEIMSA,
Long before the
American creation and funding of ISIS, with their routinely
filmed ritual murders designed to promote terror, and before the Abu Ghraib torture photos emerged, and before the systematic
murders by US military personnel of civilians in Iraq were filmed, we
sensed the cruel and sadistic entertainment of capitalist culture – “the dark
side” as Dick Cheney called it, and as reflected in President Obama’s reported off-the-cuff
remark referring to his record number of Drone
assassinations: “I’m a damn good killer.”
The morbid
allegiance to private profits has galvanized the owners of capital to produce a
filth, the stench of which reaches around the world. The capitalist War Zone
has always necessarily existed; it is now ubiquitous and the ruling class –
long accustomed to this way of life – has introduced it to all humanity across
the world, as the future modus vivendi for us all.
It is no wonder
that people are now seeking to save themselves, looking for alternatives to
this Juggernaut
called Capitalism. It has a sorry history, indeed.
Recently I
received an email from an optimistic young reader who wanted to share with me
the “Bread and Roses” scene in the movie Pride.
(See items above.) This sent me to my labor history collection, where I dusted
off a copy of William Cahn’s book, Lawrence
1912, The Bread & Roses Strike (1977). Then, turning to the
Internet, I was pleased to discover a short documentary film on this famous 1912
labor strike, produced in 2012 by the Lawrence
History Center; and, digging a little deeper, I found, as well, a Zinn Education Project site devoted to
the same subject.

In 1912,
it was possible for Americans to believe that economic democracy was a goal that
could be achieved. In those days, the country was still in a state of flux,
still trying to define itself. As part of the process, a
panoply of political parties –the populists, the socialists, the single taxers – had elected Mayors, Congressmen and Senators who
possessed an unflinching belief in the importance of redistributing income.
Of
course, the labor movement was a lynchpin of that belief. And this book – the story
of the great Lawrence textile strike of 1912 – provides an important chapter in
labor’s saga.
For, that
year, it seemed as if the tumultuous, two-month-long Lawrence strike (which
spawned the lovely slogan ‘Bread and Roses, Too’) might be the Appomattox of
the battle for economic justice. The strike involved 20,000 people in a textile
mill town of 90,000. It included immigrants from at least 30 different nations
who spoke 45 different languages: Italians, Irish, Syrians, Armenians, Turks,
Jews, Belgians, French-Canadians, Germans, and Scandinavians all marched on the
same picket lines. Some of those people – like Turks and Armenians, like
Lithuanian Christians and Jews – had been bitter enemies in the old world. Now,
in America, they had united to fight a common enemy – the poverty, the indignities
that came from working in the mills.
It all
began on January 12, 1912, when the mill owners, who had been ordered by the
Massachusetts State Legislature to reduce the working week
from 56 to 54 hours. Forced the laborers to take a pay cut – a pay cut from
the $8.76 they made each week. That day, thousands of workers surged
through the city’s biggest factory, the American Wollen
Mill, sqbotaging machinery to show their rage.
That
night, Angelo Rocco, a 28-year-old Italian immigrant who had been a weaver in
the mills, who was now attending Lawrence high school with the dream that some
day he would become a lawyer, telegraphed the International Workers of the
World in New York to ask for help from some outside organizers. (Joseph Ettor of the IWW had already established contact with millhands in Lawrence.) Soon, an all-star cast of activists
came to town. It included people like the great stump speaker Big Bill Haywood,
the cool-headed Elizabeth Gurley Flynn, the poet and orator Arturo Giovannitti, Editor, and a young socialist named Margaret
Sanger whose advocacy of firth control methods would soon make her
controversial and famous.
It was the
first great industrial strike in America. Soon, it prompted nationally known
journalists like Lincoln Steffens, and Ray Stannard
Baker to come to Lawrence and investigate working conditions in the mills,
living conditions o, the tenements.
Meanwhile, the Yankee aristocracy which ran the mills was enraged at the
immigrants who had overcome the barriers of language and culture to fight
together for social justice. The organ, New England Magazine, warned the
readers that the town was the scene of ‘a wage war which will spread throughout
the country. The conditions which exist [in Lawrence] are largely the result of
our immigration laws. For years, the offscourings of Southern
Europe have been pouring into the city and working for wages Americans could
not compete with. They will not be assimilated [and] have no sympathy for our
institutions.’
The
readers of the New England Magazine were right to be worried. For the
strikers won the first, stunning triumph in American industrial history. And
the truth was that many of the workers whom their bosses
saw as ‘offscourings,’ had received excellent
academic and palatial educations through their affiliation with socialist
parties back in Europe. They knew the value of careful strategic planning, of
effective nationwide publicity campaigns, of soup kitchens for hungry workers,
of non-violent tactics like mobile picket lines. They were more skilled than
their adversaries. Their ingenuity caused the mill owners to overreact.
Their
most effective strategy was the children’s exodus from Lawrence. The strike took
place in January and February, bitterly cold months, and the organizers decided
to find secure housing outside town for some of the activists’ offspring. It
was not only a thoughtful humanitarian measure; it was also an immensely
effective public relations technique.
In
Lawrence, the kids and their parents would go to the railroad station, bearing
signs with slogans like ‘We Shall Never Forget Our Exile, ‘
and board trans for New York or Providence or Philadelphia. Wherever
they went, they got a friendly reception in the press. They were always met by
large groups of supporters who sometimes placed them in the forefront of
torchlight parades. Reporters invariably questioned the children about working
conditions in the mills. Soon, for much of the nation, the Lawrence mills were
symbols of shame.
The mill
owners and the city government decided to use intimidation as the main weapon
in their country-offensive. One February morning they dispatched a squadron of
policemen to the railroad station. The police surrounded a train bound for
Philadelphia and beat up some of the children – and their parents – as they
attempted to board it.
The
attack became a nationwide scandal. Shortly after it, Margaret Sanger, always a
shrewd strategist, arranged for about 20 strikers and their children to testify
before the House Committee on Rules in Washington.
. . .
[T]he publicity helped the strikers win their unprecedented
victory: a 10 percent pay hike, the right to overtime pay, and amnesty from arrest.
The Protestant mill owners and the Irish and Italian churches,
which were immensely powerful in those days, sought to brand the most visible
strikers as radicals and unsavory immigrants. . . . Soon
the insurgents, not the working conditions in the mills, became the main issue
in Lawrence.(pp.9-12)
As economic
contradictions evolved, new political formations have appeared center stage in
the United States. Ideological and cultural expressions attempt to capture
these changes, but inevitably they lag behind. We are caught peering into the
rearview mirror instead of looking ahead at what is appearing around the bend.
In this way, we are repeatedly caught unaware of ruling-class strategies that
have targeted us. Our entire education, with few exceptions, has been distorted
to serve this purpose, to render us docile, anxious and confused.
Sincerely,
Francis Feeley

Subject: [Logement-infos] [CP] Justice pour
les mal-logéEs!
Justice pour les mal-logéEs !
Pour faire valoir leur
droit à un logement décent, stable, adapté, accessible, choisi et bon marché,
des mal-logéEs passent aujourd’hui jeudi 26 novembre
devant la justice à Grenoble. Une banderole a été déployé
devant le Tribunal d'instance.
Qu’ils attaquent leur bailleur ou
qu’ils se défendent, dans le parc public ou privé, le DAL 38 est entièrement à
leur côté, pour les soutenir et faire connaître leurs luttes
essentielles :
- droit à un logement décent
et adapté pour les locataires mal logéEs, qui vivent
depuis des années dans l'insalubrité, les manquements à l'hygiène, les
équipements défaillants... LogéEs à l'étroit, alors
que les enfants grandissent et que la superficie ou l'agencement de leurs
logements trop retreints ne permettent pas une vie apaisée ; mal ou pas chaufféEs avec des menuiseries, portes et fenêtres, qui ne
ferment pas, des chaudières totalement défaillantes ; confrontéEs
à des invasions de nuisibles, des ascenseurs qui ne fonctionnent plus, des
infiltrations d'eau...absence d'entretien, absence de conciergerie..
Et ceci alors que les prix des
loyers, publics et privés, que les locataires s'épuisent à payer avec régularité,
ne cessent d'augmenter et les charges de s'envoler, de moins en moins en
rapport avec les prestations nécessaires non assurées par les bailleurs et les
propriétaires.
- Refus de toutes les
expulsions. Les audiences d’aujourd’hui concernent comme chaque semaine des
locataires précaires ayant développé des impayés de loyers pour faire face à
des dépenses essentielles. De nombreux foyers sont donc poursuivis par leur
propriétaire pour les expulser à cause du premier confinement qui a vu des centaines
de milliers personnes mises au chômage et fait perdre tout ou partie de leurs
revenus à autant d’autres.
Les expulsions prononcées auront
lieu à partir de la fin de la trêve hivernale, le 1er avril
2021 : si rien n’est fait, ce printemps verra la plus grande vague
d’expulsions jamais vue en France depuis des dizaines d’années.
Pendant ce temps, les expulsions
illégales se poursuivent car malgré la circulaire de la Ministre du logement
datée du 17 octobre, rappelant aux Préfets « Pas d’expulsion locative avec concours de la force
publique sans solution de logement ou d’hébergement », les pressions se renforcent sur les locataires, avec passages d'huissiers
et menaces d'expulsions, jusqu'aux coups de force musclés et sans jugements
dans le locatif privé ou dans les squats laissant les habitantEs
à la rue...
La circulaire du 17 octobre ne
permettra donc pas de répondre à l’augmentation constante du nombre de sans
abris, alimentée notamment par ces expulsions locatives, aux risques de
propagation de l’épidémie, laissés dans les rues même lorsqu’ils demandent une
place d’hébergement. Les chiffres sont sans appel : 300 000 personnes
d'après la Fondation Abbé Pierre, 10 millions de pauvres selon le Secours
Catholique...
En lutte avec les locataires, les
sans abris et les mal-logéEs, le DAL se bat contre
toutes les expulsions, contre le mal logement, pour l'application du droit
inconditionnel à un logement décent et adapté pour toutes et tous … Nous
dénonçons la loi de finance qui prévoit de faire une économie de 3,2 milliards
d’euros sur les APL des locataires les plus précaires et de ponctionner 500
millions d’euros dans les caisses qui financent la construction de logements
sociaux.
La loi d'urgence sanitaire doit
inclure un moratoire des expulsions et de leurs procédures, des impayés de
loyers. Et la Préfecture doit enfin lancer la réquisition des logements vacants
au nombre de 16.000 dans la Métro pour loger l'ensemble des personnes à la rue
ou mal-logéEs et faire enfin baisser le prix du
foncier qui étrangle les prix du logement sur l'agglomération.

Dear friends and
colleagues,
We’re sure you’ve been
busy since our last update and as have we.
First of all, we must apologise as our week four update from the September
hearings never made it to you.
There was a lapse on our
part, but we’re glad to report you’ll now be able to find a public archive of
the available witness statements from the case here.
Additionally, in the last
couple of weeks, both the defence and the prosecution
have served their closing submissions to the court and those of you who are
interested in accessing these documents will be able to do so below:
• For the
defence, on behalf of Julian Assange
• For the
prosecution, on behalf of the United States
As you’ll be aware,
District Judge Vanessa Baraitser’s ruling will be
delivered at the Old Bailey in central London on January 4th and Tareq will aim to be in the court room again to provide a
written update.
Furthermore, there have
been a number of other developments worth noting since we last wrote to you.
First, the civil suit
between the Rich family, CNN, Ed Butowsky and a
number of others has reportedly been settled out of court. The majority of the
relevant court filings are available at CourtListener,
including a recent deposition of S e y mour Hersh who gave evidence after a motion to compel
was filed.
Second, the Audiencia Nacional, a special
High Court in Madrid, Spain, has continued its judge-led investigation into the
bugging carried out by UC Global, suspected to be on behalf of the CIA. You’ll
find a recent summary of some recent proceedings by ComputerWeekly
here.
No doubt many of you have
also read that Assange’s cell-block has reverted to
total lockdown after a number of prisoners and wardens in his wing tested
positive for SARS-CoV-2, meaning Julian is back in solitary confinement for 24
hours a day. Doctors for Assange have since issued a
statement stating that “the torture and medical neglect of Mr Assange not only continues unabated but has intensified,” and
have reissued their call for his immediate release.
Lastly, we have a small favour to ask of you.
We have been continuing
our own lines of investigation in hopes of shedding further light on this case.
To assist us however, we wondered if you knew of any hopeful funding sources we
could pursue in order to support our work on a long-term basis.
We have prepared a funding
proposal that details what we plan to investigate and how. We hoped you could
help introduce us to a suitable individual or organisation.
If this is the case, or you simply know who would be good to contact, we would
be very grateful to hear from you. You can send the respective details to contact@speak-up-for-assange.org.
Thank you and warmest
regards,
Serena, Nicky, Blaž and Tareq

Former
Secretary of State John Kerry attended a panel discussion at the World Economic

The reason it's so
funny is because the liberals and lefties were all terrified of Trump
bringing in fascism. And all along these high falutin'
activists were riding the horse on which the smiley-face fascism is
coming in on.
And they were so
terrified of Trump, they actually got half of America demanding to stop
challenges to election fraud.
Imagine that. Yeah, who cares about election fraud, so long as it's

Allegations have been made and if Joe Biden is to ever take the oath of
office he will have to offer a counter explanation for
his lucky streak, irregularities and anomalies. Lemme
try to explain another way,
imagine Joe Biden buying a lotto ticket in 5 diff states and then waking up to
find out he hit the jackpot
in each one... do you think lotto officials would be cheering his win or
investigating him for cheating
despite the machines? They would look at him and any relationships he may have
with lotto officials...
they would also look at the machines and to see if he had any relationships
with the machine
manufacturers. Why? Because of this lil thingy called statistical odds. And they would not pay
out until/unless they were convinced otherwise.

Des lits, du personnel, des moyens pour l’hôpital public et la santé,
MAINTENANT ! Face à une crise sanitaire allant en s’aggravant, les seules armes
du gouvernement sont l’autoritarisme et la répression. En 15 ans 69 000 lits
ont été supprimés dans les hôpitaux. La situation sanitaire actuelle est donc
l’aboutissement logique des politiques libérales appliquées à l’hôpital. Nous
revendiquons donc un VERITABLE PLAN D'URGENCE POUR L'HÔPITAL. L’hôpital a
besoin de davantage de moyens financiers mais aussi humains. C’est pourquoi
nous exigeons :
• une augmentation drastique du
financement de l’hôpital public avec la réouverture des nombreux sites
hospitaliers locaux fermés ces dernières années, • l'embauche massive
avec revalorisation des salaires de l'ensemble des personnels, • la
réquisition au service de l’intérêt commun des cliniques privées, • des
moyens pour pouvoir appliquer les protocoles sanitaires, les masques gratuits, etc...
La justice sociale, maintenant ! La crise du COVID impacte également bien
au-delà du secteur hospitalier. Alors que l’on restreint d’un côté les libertés
individuelles rendues responsables de toutes les contaminations, la sécurité
des travailleurs/travailleuses et des jeunes n’est pas assurée en continuant de
les envoyer dans les grandes entreprises, les écoles, les transports, qui
constituent les principaux lieux de foyers de contamination. Nous avons
d’urgence besoin d’investissements massifs dans tous les services publics et
notamment dans l’éducation et les transports qui sont plus que jamais
essentiels. De même, la sécurité et les droits des travailleurs et
travailleuses ainsi que des millions de personnes se trouvant aujourd’hui au
chômage doivent être assurés. Les milliards distribués sans compter pour sauver
les profits des grandes entreprises, qui n’hésitent pas, derrière, à licencier
en masse, doivent être, de toute urgence, consacrés à la santé, à l’école, à la
lutte contre la pauvreté qui, se répand encore plus vite que la covid !

pour limiter le brassage, diminuer la densité humaine, et rendre possible des
activités sécurisées (culture, petits commerces, ...) • Exigeons le
maintien du salaire le paiement à 100% du salaire en cas de chômage partiel !•
Imposons une revalorisation globale des salaires. • Revendiquons une
extension des droits des chômeurs et des chômeuses… • Baisse des loyers,
arrêt des expulsions et poursuite pour impayés• Réquisition des
logements vides pour reloger toute personne à la rue ou mal logée
Nos droits démocratiques, maintenant !
Alors même que les libertés publiques et syndicales sont drastiquement
attaquées par un confinement de la vie hors-travail, le gouvernement en profite
pour faire avancer son agenda à une vitesse inquiétante. Les lois liberticides
et autoritaires se succèdent ces dernières semaines à un rythme inquiétant :
Interdiction de filmer la police, risque de trois ans d’emprisonnement pour les
lycéen.ne.s bloquant leurs établissements, surveillance par les drones… Nous
devons refuser ce tournant que l’Etat cherche à faire prendre à notre société
et empêcher la loi "Sécurité Globale". Refusons que nos droits soient
attaqués par un état d’urgence permanent !

Confinement: « Les critères appliqués par le
gouvernement ne sont pas rationnels »
par Serge Blondel
FIGAROVOX/TRIBUNE -
Certains des endroits les moins risqués en matière de contamination ont été
fermés (commerces respectant le protocole sanitaire, ...) tandis que certains
des plus propices à la contamination comme les grandes surfaces sont restés
ouverts, analyse Serge Blondel. Selon l’économiste, le traitement réservé aux
petits commerces est de ce point de vue particulièrement injuste.
