Bakery Explosion Kills Three in Paris Amidst #YellowVest #ActeIX: Day of Mass Bank Withdrawals Planned

An explosion rocked the streets of Paris this morning. A gas leak was the official cause of an explosion that flipped over nearby cars, and left a Paris block looking like a war-zone, more-so than usual. The blast claimed the lives of 2 firefighters and a Spanish national, and injured more than 50 others leaving a dozen in critical condition. With the Yellow Vest Movement set to engage in a massive withdrawal of assets from the banking system during Acte IX, it seems Paris is on the brink of both economical and sociological collapse.

RCMP Prepares to Raid Un-Ceded Territory of the Wet'suwet'en Nation: Crisis Unfolding in Unist'ot'en

RCMP has been working through the night and morning to prepare a massive law enforcement mobilization to the Unist'ot'en & Gidimt'en checkpoints of the Wet'suwet'en Nation located in so called British Colombia. B.C. Supreme Court Justice Marguerite Church expanded an injunction to include the Gidimt'en checkpoint. With this Injunction update RCMP's indicated that specially trained tactical forces will be deployed to forcibly remove Wet'suwet'en people from sovereign Wet'suwet'en territory. The RCMP's ultimatum, to allow TransCanada access to un-ceded Wet'suwet'en territory or face police invasion, is nothing short of an act of war on the sovereign, un-ceded nation.

This is the story you were never taught — the anarchist roots of May Day, why the US government tried to erase it, and what it means for you if you're new to the movement.

The Blind Man on the Plinth: Banksy's Statue of Flag-Blind Patriotism in the Heart of Empire

In the predawn hours of April 30, Banksy installed a statue in Waterloo Place depicting a suited figure blinded by a flag, stepping off a plinth. Placed among monuments to imperial glory, it's a devastating critique of blind patriotism — and a reminder that when you can't see where you're marching, you walk off cliffs.
