ST. LOUIS: Fascist Bar Owner Targeted By Antifascist Propaganda By Olivia Klein Antifascist propaganda was recently spotted in South St. Louis targeting fascist and former Volksfront member Scot Boman, including graffiti in front of his home on 2820 Hereford, reading “Get Out” with two hammers and sickles on his front steps. Antifascists have also circulated flyers about Boman in working-class neighborhoods. Locally, Boman is infamous for supporting the most reactionary elements of US imperialism and the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department, giving officers a safe haven in the form of his local bar, 09 Pub. Boman’s direct ties to the neo-nazi organization Volksfront, however, are less well-known. Volksfront was a fascist organization based in Portland, Oregon with branches spanning North America, Europe, and Australia. The US branch’s goal was to create an all-white nation in the Pacific Northwest. Ultimately, the US Volksfront disbanded in 2012 in an effort to outmaneuver police investigations tied to the organization and its membership. Boman admitted his affiliation with the neo-nazi group in an email he sent while attempting to join the Proud Boys, another fascist organization that seeks to project a more moderate image as “western chauvinists” in an attempt for broader appeal.

AUSTIN: “La Rebelión Se Justifica” Graffiti in Solidarity with Ecuador By Mike Talavera and Jakob Stein Large spray-painted slogans expressing solidarity with the people’s struggle in Ecuador were recently spotted in Austin. They read, “La Rebelión se Justifica, Solidaridad con Ecuador” (“It is Right to Rebel, Solidarity with Ecuador”), and “¡Viva la Lucha de Los Indígenas! ¡Luchar contra el Imperialismo Estadounidense!” (“Long Live the Indigenous People’s Struggle! Struggle Against US Imperialism!”). Last week, massive protests composed workers, poor peasants, and indigenous peoples erupted across Ecuador, responding violently to “Decree 883” which would lift the subsidy on fuel, causing a spike in the price of gas and other commodities. The austerity package was part of a $4.2 billion loan deal struck between the government of President Lenin Moreno and the International Monetary Fund (IMF). The Ecuadorian state retaliated against a national strike declared on October 3, leaving 7 dead, over 1,300 injured, and another 1,152 arrested, but the crackdown only escalated the rebellion of the masses. The economy was paralyzed by strikes and road blockades, severely disrupting key industries like oil production and export. The situation became so hostile in the capital Quito that Moreno was forced to flee. Read the full story @ incendiarynews.com #atx #ecuador #solidarity #itisrighttorebel #larebelionsejustifica

FLORIDA: Footage Exposes Horrific Conditions at Prison By Ben Robinson A Florida inmate has filmed footage of life in the Martin Correctional Institution, known by inmates as “Murder Martin.” Under the guards’ noses, inmate Scott Whitney recorded years of film – all the way back from 2015, presenting a rare inside look at modern incarceration. The footage, titled “Behind Tha Barbed Wire,” was given to the Miami Herald for publishing. Though only footage from 2017 on was smuggled out, there is more than enough film to demonstrate that the US prison system functions as an annihilation zone for those forced behind bars. Using eyeglasses with fitted cameras and a Bible with a lens hidden in the cover, Whitney captured scenes of neglect and abuse: rampant mold, inmates left on the floor after abusing synthetic drugs, brawls, and a man coughing up blood. Though Whitney was the principal filmmaker, other inmates participated as a team, with one saying that they are “going live behind the barbed wire [and]… risking our lives for this.” Whitney himself was placed in solitary confinement for releasing this footage on September 19 and remains there to this day.

PITTSBURGH: Tenants Rally in Protest of Apartment Fire By Darius Firoozi On Friday, October 4, Tenants of the Allegheny Housing Rehabilitation Corporation (AHRCO) and their supporters attended a rally put on by revolutionary organization Serve the People – Pittsburgh (STP-PGH) and the Deraud St. Tenant Council. Almost two months after a fire that burned down the AHRCO apartment building and displaced 70 residents in the historically Black Hill District of Pittsburgh, residents with the same leasing company are still facing life-threatening health concerns. Leading up to the rally, activists with STP-PGH and Deraud St. Tenant Council talked to tenants about the deplorable conditions they faced. The day of the rally, tenants, supporters, and activists met outside the leasing office of AHRCO an hour before the leasing office closed to make their demands heard. Upon realizing the doors to the building were locked and the AHRCO management left early to avoid their tenants, the rally turned to posting flyers across the building and distributing them to those passing by. Several activists and supporters gave speeches during the rally, discussing the slum conditions suffered by the AHRCO residents that STP-PGH and the Tenant Council uncovered during weeks of investigation leading up to the rally, including mold and infestations. Tenants also set their demands, primarily livable housing conditions in the Hill District as well as compensation for health issues and damaged or stolen personal property as a result of the fire.

GERMANY: Anticommunist Scholar Cancels Lecture After Graffiti Action By Bill Smith On September 30, anticommunist scholar Gustavo Gorriti canceled his talk on corruption in Peruvian society after revolutionaries spray-painted “Gorriti = CIA,” “Guerra Popular Hasta el Comunismo (People’s War until Communism),” and a hammer and sickle on a building at the University of Hamburg where Gorriti was scheduled to give his talk. Gorriti has made a name for himself as a “Senderologist,” writing books and articles intended to slander the Communist Party of Peru (PCP) and the Peruvian revolution under the guise of “antiterrorism” and “defense of human rights.” Senderologists are a group of mainly Peruvian anticommunist scholars and journalists who specialize in attacking the PCP, often resorting to outright lies in service of the reactionary old state. The name “Senderologist” is derived from “Sendero Luminoso,” or “Shining Path” in English, which is the pejorative bourgeois label for the PCP. Gorriti has been accused of serving as a consultant to the Peruvian armed forces and as an adviser to the CIA in their counterinsurgency efforts against the Peruvian revolution. When Chairman Gonzalo, the leader of the PCP, was captured by the fascist Fujimori regime, Gorriti acted in an effort to destroy Chairman Gonzalo’s image as a prelude to the state’s intentions to kill the man himself.

CHICAGO: Family Sues School for Kicking Child Out into the Cold By Kim Hyun Sang A Black family has taken legal action against the Chicago Public Schools (CPS) system this week over an incident involving their nine-year-old child back in March. The boy, identified only as “K.S” in the lawsuit, was thrown out of Fiske Elementary School into temperatures ranging from 27 to 46 degrees Fahrenheit the day of the incident, in a short-sleeve shirt without a coat. Security footage presented by the family’s attorney at a news conference on Tuesday shows a security guard at the school forcefully grabbing the boy and taking him into an office. A few minutes later, footage from another camera shows the same man forcing him outside as teachers and administrators watch. The lawsuit also claims that the principal, school counselor, and security guard created a barrier to prevent K.S. from returning inside the building after he was thrown out. The school later reported him missing to police, claiming he had left on his own without the knowledge of staff. This incident was sparked by a series of complaints by K.S. and his family that he was being bullied while the school took no action, eventually culminating in a fight between K.S. and another student. The boy’s family accuse CPS of retaliating against the 9-year-old and then lying to cover up their reckless endangerment, which includes not only exposing him to harsh weather but also leaving him unaccompanied on the streets. CPS has a history of abusing Black children. Earlier this year, a 16-year-old Black girl at the John Marshall Metropolitan High School, was dragged down a flight of stairs, tasered, and beaten brutally by school resource officers after a confrontation over her use of a cell phone in class. She was charged with two felony counts of assaulting an officer until video surfaced of the incident and the charges were dropped.
