IRELAND: Bonfires Lit, Shots Fired to Honor Passing of IRA Hero By Mike Talavera Alex Murphy, a father of four who was convicted in the killing of two British undercover corporals in 1988, was laid to rest in the Roselawn Crematorium on Monday following a massive funeral procession held in his honor in Belfast. Onlookers saluted as the coffin wrapped in the Irish flag passed by, the funeral march passed murals like the one on Northumberland Street which reads “Our Struggle Continues” with depictions of Provisional Irish Republican Army commander Óglach Charlie Hughes as well as Leila Khaled from the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP). Sellouts from the Legislative Assembly called police after a video posted Monday night showed a masked soldier firing pistol rounds over Murphy’s coffin as mourners looked on. The traitor reformists in Sinn Fein also condemned the video. Murphy’s death coincides with a time of year when large bonfires are set ablaze to mark the Catholic Feast of the Assumption. Last week, one towering unlit bonfire was draped in the flag of a British parachute regiment and featured a prominent sign which read “Fuck Soldier F,” referring to the unnamed British soldier who was the only person convicted after the Bloody Sunday massacre of 1972.

BRAZIL: National Education Strike Sweeps 200 Cities By Jakob Stein On August 13 the people of Brazil took to the streets in 26 states and the federal capital for a National Education Strike. The protests were called in opposition to the anti-people policies of the reactionary Brazilian government, headed by Bolsonaro and the High Command of the Armed Forces, including funding cuts to federal universities, the privatization of public education through the “Future-se” program, and the dismantling of the national pension system. In Rio de Janeiro tens of thousands of students, teachers, and workers mobilized downtown despite the pouring rain in defense of public education. A militant bloc composed of the Popular Revolutionary Student Movement (MEPR), Red Unit – Revolutionary Youth League (UV-LJR), Popular Women’s Movement (MFP), and the Class Movement of Education Workers (Moclate) marched with a banner reading “Neither Bolsonaro, nor Mourão, nor the corrupt Congress and out with the reactionary Armed Forces!” The militant bloc chanted slogans against the Bolsonaro government and the military police, while carrying pictures of Gabriel Pereira Alves and Dyogo Coutinho, who were recently murdered in police operations in Rio de Janeiro and Niterói. Representatives from the Brazilian Center for Solidarity of Peoples (Cebraspo) were also present, raising posters demanding the freedom of French political prisoner Théo El Ghozzi. Peasants in the city of Januária, northern Minas Gerais, blocked a highway in support of the National Education Strike. Carrying flags of the League of Poor Peasants (LCP), they erected a barricade with burning tires and raised a banner reading, “General Strike against pension reform!” They also raised a banner against a notorious grileiro (land owners who steal the land of poor peasants with falsified documents and the aid of police) with the slogan, “Out with Walter Arantes, land thief!” Arantes is known for arranging the violent displacement of poor peasants in the municipality of Miravânia earlier this year.

AUSTIN: Flyers Targeting Sell-Out Councilman Appear on Eastside By Dmitri Sans In the lead up to the second Austin city council hearing for the proposed “Domain on Riverside” this Thursday, numerous flyers and posters have been pasted all over the Eastside, calling City Councilman Sabino “Pio” Renteria a “prostitute” for accepting $17,095 in donations from supporters of the gentrifying project. Renteria joined eight other councilmembers (many of whom also received large sums from developer interests) in voting to approve the first reading of the rezoning application for the “Domain on Riverside” at the August 8 meeting. Even the two council members who voted against the proposal, Greg Casar and Delia Garza, also received big donations from supporters of the project and backed Mayor Steve Adler as he called dozens of police on protesters, twelve of whom were arrested. Revolutionary organization Defend Our Hoodz for over a year has helped organize the Ballpark, Quad, and Town Lake apartment complexes, some of the last remaining student and working-class housing that is under threat of being destroyed by the “Domain on Riverside.” Incendiary recently published a timeline of that struggle to date and asked our readers to donate and support those arrested.

RHODE ISLAND: Corrections Officer Resigns After Driving Car into Protesters By Jennifer Kelly Wednesday night, at the Wyatt Detention Facility in Rhode Island, a group of protesters with Never Again Action were struck by a vehicle driven by a senior corrections officer – Thomas Woodworth. As he plowed into them, more protesters gathered around and jumped on top of his car chanting “shame shame shame” and “the whole world is watching.” After Woodworth called for back-up, a large group of corrections officers from the facility ran out to his aid, pepper spraying the protesters and reporters. They formed a protective ring around his car and let him through, while protesters screamed at them. Two protesters who had been blocking the entrance to the facility were hospitalized after being struck by the vehicle and three more were hospitalized after being pepper sprayed. Following a suspension, Woodworth has since resigned from his position, and the incident remains under investigation both by the facility and by Rhode Island police. Despite this repression, Never Again Action maintains its faith in the bourgeois justice system, saying in a statement, “We expect the investigation by the Rhode Island State Police and the Attorney General to continue and to address the violence and dehumanization that is an integral part of the ICE detention process.” To them, the violent attack by Woodworth and by extension the violence done by ICE in general is an aberration within the bourgeois system, rather than its essence.

Organized healthcare workers led a work stoppage, lasting over 25 days, in which the democratic union demanded that over 170 workers who were unjustly fired be reinstated. In response the state has released seven warrants against union leaders. SINTS is known for its class stand and militant combativeness, enjoying close relationships and overlapping membership with Sol Rojo. Read the full story @ incendiarynews.com #Mexico #Oaxaca

PERU: Construction of Tía María Copper Mine Suspended By Jakob Stein Last week, Peru’s Ministry of Energy and Mines suspended the permit for the construction of the $1.4 billion Tia Maria copper mine in the Arequipa region. The reactionary government suspended the license supposedly to reevaluate its legality and take into account the objections from local officials, but paralyzing strikes, port blockades, and combative protests have forced the government’s hand. Over the past ten years, the Southern Copper Corporation (SCC) has attempted to construct the mine several times, but the people of the region have taken up the fight against it each time with tremendous courage and militancy. Residents of the Tambo Valley have been opposed to the mine since its inception over fears that it will pollute the Tambo River and the surrounding land used for agriculture. Against the most recent attempt, protesters have blocked roads and railways that connect four separate mines to the port of Matarani, resulting in an estimated loss of $400 million worth of mineral exports. In a move characteristic of the corporatist fascist government, the military was deployed to clear the port and resume business operations with escalating repression against the people.
