Anonymous Comrade writes: “The Warrior Wind” Newsletter The long-overdue third issue of “The Warrior Wind,” a newsletter against our society of confinement, is out now. This issue features a new half-page format and an increased page count. It is available as a .pdf file from the following locations:
Version for reading online: http://www.socialwar.net/.pdf%20files/warriorwind3 .pdf
Version for printing out and photocopy distribution: http://www.socialwar.net/.pdf%20files/warriorwind3 print.pdf
These files will eventually also be hosted at Impassioned Insurrection—www.impassionedinsurrection.info. Please feel free to add the files to your own site, too.
The mid-May newsletter’s 28 pages include: “Operation Backfire: Guilty Justice,” a lengthy article providing updates and analysis on the federal eco-sabotage cases in Oregon and Washington; an update on Auburn arrestee Eric McDavid plus a statement from Sacramento Prisoner Support concerning informant Zachary Jenson; an overview of the “San Francisco Eight” case of former Black Panthers facing murder charges based on torture-extracted confessions; an update on critical hearings for death row journalist and political prisoner Mumia Abu-Jamal; other US news shorts relating to Jeff “Free” Luers, the SHAC 7 and others; updates and documents concerning repression in the U.K., Germany, Italy and Belgium; information about “The Warrior Wind” newsletter project itself; and finally an announcement for the June 9 Day of Solidarity with Jeff “Free” Luers.
We continue to encourage participation in this publishing project, not only through making copies and circulating the newsletter, but also by offering us your feedback and writing for future issues.
As repression increases, we believe that it has become more, not less, important for radicals to raise their voices. “The Warrior Wind” newsletter is one small gesture towards broader efforts of resistance, solidarity, and refusal against a shoddy world system.
For a better world,
TWW Editors

Berlin, May 24-28, 2007 Two weeks before this years G-8 meeting in Heiligendamm near Rostock
various projects, initiatives and protagonists from the fields of art,
culture and political activism are going to gather in Berlin for
SUMMIT — Non-Aligned Initiatives in Education Culture.
SUMMIT is a proposal to question and to change some of the fundamental
terms of the debate around education, knowledge production and
information society.
SUMMIT seeks to bring together various approaches from different
genres and calls to come forth and unalign. Unalign from both, the
tendencies of bureaucratization and privatization of knowledge and
education. The four-day event focusses on four thematic tracks:
"Knowledge and Migrancy", "Self-authorization, -organization,
-valorization", "Creative Practices" and "Education unrealized and
ongoing".

Six Days of Action against the Occupation of Palestine
June 6–12 2007
Global Day of Action — June 9 2007
Kibush 40 coalition – http://www.kibush40.org
The second week of June will mark forty years since the occupation of the West Bank and Gaza in the 1967 Six Day war. This is now the longest enduring military occupation in the world. While the Israeli government evades negotiations that would end the occupation and lead to a just peace, the lives of Palestinians continue to be crushed daily by closures and economic strangulation, their land confiscated for settlements and their communities made into prisons by the Segregation Wall.
At the same time, violence in the region continues to supply ideological fuel for the G8 governments in their ‘War on Terror’, explicitly declared as a never-ending, pre-emptive global war which justifies erasing civil liberties, supporting oppressive regimes, and attacking refugees and migrants. We are all victims of this war: in Palestine and Israel, in Iraq and in Colombia, in Germany and in the U.S.A.

Rudolf Rocker Reading Group We are looking to start a reading group to study various "classics of subversion" old and new. Not for some abstract desire to immerse ourselves in philosophy but for the practical purpose of developing a better understanding of our position in class society, capital and our struggles against it. The suggested text for initial reading is:
Rudolf Rocker "Anarcho-Syndicalism"
If interested please join the forum, reading to start May 14th 07. All suggestions and ideas welcome.

"For us, the development of theoretical views is dictated by the necessities of vital life, by the need to solve practical problems. Our theoretical views must lead to new, better, more suitable action and the mastering of practical tasks. Our theory has value only insofar as it confirmed by practice. Everything else, we leave to the intellectual jugglers, to the guardians of the hierarchy of "values." — Wilhelm Reich
80th Anniversary of Sacco & Vanzetti Executions
New York City, August 23, 2007
August 23rd is the 80th anniversary of the execution of Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti — Italian immigrants who were framed for a robbery and murder and themselves judicially murdered for being anarchists. In this country, has anything really changed?
NYC's Libertarian Book Club is organizing an observance for Thur., Aug. 23 (the day S&V were hanged), in Union Square (the sight of a mass rally of New Yorkers in support of the condemned).
Come to a meeting of the LBC on Wed. May 30, at 7pm at 339 Lafayette Street (the War Resisters League Building), Room 202, to join in planning for this observance. Five years ago, on the 75th anniversary of S&V's execution, we held a memorial in the same location that included music, performance (by the Living Theater), and a lecture by the late historian Paul Avrich.
Today, with Gitmo, the INS, and the ICE cops ruining immigrants' lives and anarchists and supporters of animal rights on a hit list of "terrorists," it's more important than ever to let the state know that we know our history.
339 Lafayette is at Lafayette and Bleecker Streets. It's easily accessible by the R and 6 Subway lines.
Tactics of Resistance: Limitations & Possibilities
London, Ontario, October 12–13, 2007
An interdisciplinary graduate conference hosted by the Centre for the Study
of Theory and Criticism, University of Western Ontario, Canada
The aim of this conference is to discuss various forms of resistance.
Considering late capitalism's ability to accommodate sites of resistance and
the ensuing incapacitation of revolutionary tactics and impulses, we are
faced with the questions: Where can we find sites of resistance today? How
do social, cultural and political constraints impact on the prospects of
emerging forms of resistance? Must tactics always remain 'marginal,'
situational and contextual?
We are looking for papers addressing alternative conceptions and frameworks
of resistance, and their potential for revolutionary change. We welcome
students, professors, artists and activists to re-think resistance through
an interdisciplinary alliance.

Call Out for No Border Camp in Ukraine 2007
The camp will take place from the 11th to the 20th of August 2007 in
the main region of transit and labor migration in Ukraine:
Transcarpathia.
The eastward expansion of the European Union has resulted in moving
the walls of "Fortress Europe" to the Western border of Ukraine. The
Ukrainian region of Transcarpatia, of which the biggest cities are
Uzhgorod and Mukachevo, has become a new borderline, with increasing
militarization and major concentration of detention camps for refugees
from the countries of Global South and former USSR, who try to escape
war, totalitarianism or misery to the European Union countries. It is
hard to find any "open" information about the conditions in the
majority of these camps.
The condition of the refugees in Ukraine is very unstable: freedom of
movement is restricted; it is hard to get a job or medical care, and
no social security is provided. When one gets refugee status, the only
support they get from the state is a single payment of a petty 3
euros.
In recent years Ukraine has even extradited asylum seekers to places
like Uzbekistan, where they were imprisoned for years in the notorious
authoritarian regime's gulags.
