DAY 5: Hunger strike statement

TODAYS STATEMENT IS IN SOLIDARITY WITH THE SYRIAN ANARCHISTS

I am Mazen ******, a Syrian anarchist . I want to inform you about the difficult humanitarian situation in my country, Syria ; due to the brutal oppression of the regime against the revolting masses. A group of young Syrian anarchists and anti – authoritarians from Aleppo – Syria, contacted me asking for urgent help. Their community is in urgent need for everything : medical drugs , tents , children milk , etc; almost everything. We hope that you can help them to alleviate the sufferings of Syrians in these difficult days.

About the actual situation in Syria, it is deteriorating rapidly. After the killing of the some high rank generals of the regime (defense minister and his deputy , which is at the same time the brother – in – law of the president himself ) by unknown force, even that the Syrian free army claimed responsibility for the attack ; the armed opposition groups attacked the two main cities , which were reluctant to join the revolution before : Damascus and Aleppo. A fierce battle started , after some early gains of the opposition forces, the Assad army gathered its remaining forces and started a counter attack using his available conventional forces including jet fighters , beside canons and tanks that he was using since months ago. Many civilians had to flee in very harsh conditions, hundreds massacred.

In fact , the Syrian revolution is caught now in an open armed fighting. The peaceful demonstrations lost their significance now, and almost nobody bother to mention them or think they can have real impact on the outcome of the struggle . what started as a spontaneous mass revolution has become an armed struggle between the regime army and its armed opponents. This happened mainly due to the brutal oppression of the regime, using its army, its tanks and guns against civilian neighborhoods , but also because of the intervention of tyrannies like Saudi and Qatari monarchies.

Due to the strategic position of Syria, the revolution was caught in Iran – Saudi rivalry for regional domination, and even between Russia and US , each supporting one part , but only for the sake of their own interests : we can't believe that the Saudi monarchy bother about the freedom of the Syrian people , they just want to weaken their opponent : The Iranian Islamist oppressive regime. Saudi Arabia and Qatar did all they can to divert the Syrian revolution into sectarian struggle between Sunni and Shiaa sects of Islam , cynically , the Syrian regime did the same.

Just recently an influential Saudi journalist described the Arab spring ( this term is used to describe the sequence of Arab revolutions) as a Sunni spring that threatened shiia Iran. The other competing camp of oppressed regimes are using sectarianism for their sake also. The Syrian regime is trying to do the same by promoting himself as the "protector of religious minorities" in Syria .

We saw it very differently, we saw it as it happened and as it started, a spontaneous mass revolution against dictatorships and their neo – liberal policies and "reforms", and in this difficult moment for the masses; we count on the masses, on the oppressed, from every religion , sect , or ethnicity to unite against their oppressors, whatever their religion. We count on organizations like our comrades from Aleppo and other initiatives done by young students and some workers. It is a difficult struggle that could descend into sectarian civil war, and there is no guarantee but the masses' determination (and ours) to continue the struggle for real freedom and justice , for free self – organization of the oppressed .

In fact , there is very big divisions now in the Arab and Syrian left : the Stalinists stood beside the regime as an "anti–imperialist" regime ; as usual , they can neglect the oppressive nature of the regime , it is so natural for them . There are three Syrian "communist" parties , supporting the regime fully very shamelessly . Other prominent Stalinist parties in Arab countries support the regime also. On the other side Trotskyites stood against such regimes but they see Islamists as a possible "allies" is such struggles , denying the reactionary, authoritarian and capitalist , even the neo – liberal, nature of the Islamists ' project. This is so true for Egypt where Trotskyites had strong organization: Revolutionary socialists.

Another thing, brothers, I am going back to Syria this august in order to join the struggle of our comrades and masses. Some Syrian activists organized a campaign named WE ARE COMING BACK . We will enter Syria in August from *****. It is expected that the regime will arrest us, and they could torture some of us, or even kill some. I might need your solidarity that time. Some comrades might update you about such developments when it happen. For the time being I am still in *****, Egypt. If you can arrange any support for our comrades inside Syria you can contact me here till that time, and before leaving to Syria; I can give you contact details of our comrades inside Syria or some Egyptian comrades here to send your contributions to. Thanks a lot for your solidarity.

For revolution, and freedom, for Anarchy !! mazen *****

Some details have been redacted for the safety of the comrade concerned.

Thomas Bresolin
Bitch war

VSR are please to present Bitch War, a new solo show by London based artist Thomas Bresolin.

Bitch war explores the body as a visceral object, as a site for potential violence and a tool of protest when the right to express oneself has been taken away. Through using the conventions of artistic language to bring about a confrontation with the state the exhibition questions the use of the artists body and performance as a form of protest or expression of solidarity and the reception of this act as a condition to its external framing.

The exhibition is set against Bresolin's personal correspondence with long term prisoner John Bowden, including a statement written by Bowden specifically for the exhibition. Bresolin will present a series of on site performances that have been filmed, edited and are represented here by VSR. These explore the notion of punishment and violence used within the prison system as a method of control and humiliation. During the exhibition Bresolin will undertake a seven day hunger strike in his studio which can be seen as a act of solidarity. On the final day of the hunger strike, he will return to the exhibition space to carry out the final performance Sow Civil Violence,

In Bitch War and Bresolins practice, politics and art are indistinct. The context determines the way in which an action is received. In whatever way it is taken, what is important is that it is done and exists in its entirety as the continuation of  a common social struggle.

what rubbish......who is scared?..what is the point?..the point is people like this dont want to work for a living.they would rather go under the guise of art....the lazy fucking useless bastards

i think you cunts are just blagging on the back of stuff that has been done before.....and much better. You really dont have a place in the world.  And before yr moronic mind spews shyte.........i got here via other sources......and really didnt seek you out!. Now either grow up or die..your choice

If the law in this country or the terms of copyright of Youtube permits you to use my comments without my permission, then go ahead. Otherwise, NO!. Now fuck off and get a paper round or do some voluntary work.

"Yeah, I mean having effective and funny/cool leftist art as propaganda and social comment is nice, but it isn't actually *doing something*, which I think is a distinction often lost on people. And don't get me started on people who think filming injustice on their iPhone is more appropriate than fighting back. Everyone who stood around filming those kids get pepper sprayed in california is a fucking cunt. The phrase 'speak truth to power' is even more abhorrent than hippies saying 'up against the wall'. Dickheads."

AP-S: Every activist of the group has his/her own philosophy. In the political aspect we, of course, sympathize with anarchists, socialists and in general with all left-wing radicals. But first of all we are artists – not politicians or philosophers. And using our artistic methods we destruct the outdated repressive-patriarchal symbols and ideologies.

NO BANKS - ian bresolin

This is not merely a statement of action against capitalism, or a melodramatic call to arms; it an idea, a question I ask of our supposed western culture, I ask this question.
What is the foundation of our western/european culture systems; myth, magic or legend? What are these cornerstones for modern societies? The greatest myth of all is that our systems were either the first best example or better than any other; except perhaps in the mass use of violence towards all life. Our, modern western/european cultural systems were never the only path. Our systems are destroying us; self-destruction does seem a good path. But the greatest myth of all is that these systems cannot be changed or broken and rebuilt; most alarmingly that we are not already breaking.

Most of my statements are common knowledge. Many things will seem obvious I think. I will briefly demonstrate I hope, how will got into this mess and how we must change our belief systems. But immediately we must end the worship of wealth, of hoarding of things.

What makes a good society? What are the values of a good society? Certainly once you have put a price on some thing, a person, a plant, a piece of land, it, she or him or that, no longer have any value in a good society? They only have value in a bank. Do we believe in banks? Is banking a lifestyle?

Our beliefs have seduced us into the acceptance of modern banking. Ironically this belief system has nothing to do with good governance, humanity, and spirituality.
And has taken control of all governments and all religions, as good or bad as these systems were individually, they now do not matter. There is now only one culture the culture of wealth, of good (sic) banking. Banks enslave governments through debt, all prime minsters, presidents and dictators are really only bank managers at best, clerks at worst.

I propose that we reduce or eliminate the influence our banks have on our lives. That we change the way we are governed and that maybe we introduce another way of looking at the world. But most urgently stop the banks now. I suggest passive aggressive resistance in the short term, we shall see. Stop buying things!!!!
We have all heard the term supply and demand. No demand - No supply.

A solution to the dilemma of economic exploitation and self destruction is simple. No banks. Recognising the electronic banking system is now completely intrusive in our modern life, I accept this is not easily possible. But is possible. The simplest means is cash. Avoid any financial transaction from which a bank will profit. Keep savings in
small savings societies. Don’t borrow. Destroy debit and cedit cards. Question the so called ethics of your bank , ask them about tax avoidance, ask them about their salaries.
Take your money out of the bank! Don’t buy things. And again Stop hoarding.






Another path?

This is not only about stopping banks. It’s about changing our perspective our values.

I will also offer people an alternate example, another path, which puts respect for all life and awareness before wealth, or hoarding of things. But first we must debunk the legend of our politically systems, the limitations of religion and the modern myth of banking.

We must realise there is another path. As an example to be added within the week, a will demonstrate that confederacy of the North American Iroqouis Nation predates European democracy, ruled by consensus, not political parties while fully representing individual cultures within the confederacy, its’ religion mainstay was respect, for a things; rock or man, water of woman, animal or sky and had no room for hoarding, they did not believed in gathering and collecting of things, to take for the sake of taking was disrespectful to them and this belief system was similar to their northern rivals the Algonquin who best expressed this concept of respect for all in Manitou; all things alive or still have a spirit a shared connections with all else. Something modern science and physics are now proving to be true, at the basic level all elements are shared.

In it’s simplest form capitalism is hoarding. It is men and women competing to have the biggest pile of pebbles. The pile of pebbles only have a cost if we allow these men and women to tell us these pebbles have a price, be once this has been allowed then they have no value in real life.

Legend, Magic or Myth? – (the cost of living)
I would go so far as to suggest the legend of modern democracy is false, that the foundation of modern democracy was from ancient Greece as described in Plato’s republic and most subversively that we are taught this was a good model although at the time it was democracy for the rich only. In Greek tradition there is the belief that those in power are allowed to deceive their support for the benefit of the state, a belief that once in power you are somehow an elite to those who put you there and that you are only truly beholding to your accepted peers. Things only matter if it is on their agenda. You see this belief carried forward in our governments and boardrooms around the world. And we accept this most of time.

The magic is the stories related by the three modern religions of Christianity, Islam and Judaism, that they are the only models for the modern world and the best models. When all three beliefs remain at least in competition with each other and at worst at war so that the integrity of all three are undermined, instead of creating a better world they are all hierarchical, rich over poor, in America that Christian stronghold, we here the term, the 1%, those who have 98% of American wealth, where in Pakistan, predominately Muslim the rich pay no taxes at all. And for any religion to believe it is exclusive of another or to support that dominion of the stronger over the weaker within it’s own ranks is false. Although I will allow there are noble words in all their scriptures. Indeed in the Quran, there is a statement which roughly translated, “If I eat when my neighbour goes hungry I am a sinner” If the world only lived by this! I only challenge that any man or women has the right of dominion by religion.



The myth, banks, we need them? As long as there has be money there has been money lenders yes, but modern banks were only evolved a few centuries ago and yes in truth they were initially superior to elite royal families controlling all the states wealth, they were in truth only created to make the rich richer and to finance the exploitation of the militarily weaker cultures by the western Europeans as the marauded around the globe. Along the way they realised they could get some extra money to play with if they offered a domestic service to some of the middle merchants and growing middle classes, retail banking, and convinced us that they were doing it for us and not their themselves. The poor and the middle glasses don’t really benefit from banks at all and are completely subject to the whims of banks; banks businesses who only really want to take your money from you.

I think that we have seduced are selves through our modern political systems and religious beliefs, we have allowed, accepted, the values of inherent elitism in these systems, have accepted the pursuit of betterment, of more, of the lust for wealth, to hoard. We created banks and now our systems and beliefs have no value only a cost.

What is the cost of living?

There is no democracy - Government is determined by cash flow.
Religion offers no resistance – churches sell their services.
Banks rule the world!


There is an alternative!!! No banks!!!
