OPND is recruiting now!
I could do with more old punks (or even some younger ones with a bit of suss) joining up with the OPND Soviet – it seems a shame that my postings here are so intermittent when there's all this space available.
You don't have to rip anything (although I'm certainly not going to [...]

A couple of mates of mine, Beardy Rob (aka Robert) and Ratty (aka Richard) are doing a great (and knackering just to think about) thing – they're cycling from Land's End to John O' Groats (about 1000 miles) to raise money for the Mines Advisory Group. For those who don't know, MAG works to clear [...]

Not so long ago, it seemed that you couldn't turn on the news without seeing some story or another about the Zapatista rebellion in Chiapas, Mexico. The media darlings couldn't get enough of the enigmatic Subcommandante Marcos and his stylishly sexy balaclava-and-pipe combo. But, as is the way with the corporate press, they soon became [...]

Want to broaden your musical horizons, for free, and in the process support artists who actively encourage you to hear their music? Then you could do worse than pay a visit to the 001 Collective and use your torrent software with the full blessing of the musicians found there. It's early days at the moment [...]

This is a bit late notice but I think it's a worthwhile story…
Workers at the Bike Systems GmbH bike factory in Thuringian Nordhausen, Germany, have followed the lead of their Argentinian comrades and occupied their factory (unfortunately, there are no reports of them having shot the bosses first). The occupation was in response to a [...]

Dead Police Story Music is a DIY anarcho label based in Ottawa, Canada, another malevolently-governed part of North America. To highlight the dirty pies that Canuckian Prime Minister Stephen Harper has his fingers in, DPS have released a benefit CD to raise awareness and funds for the Revolutionary Association of the Women of Afghanistan and [...]

I've just received a mailout asking me to promote a benefit CD, something I'm more than happy to do. It has been released to raise vital funds for a young man in Russia who was the victim of a brutal racist attack. Alem Assefa suffered serious brain injury after being beaten by boneheads for being [...]

I've received the following via a friend from the A.N.S.W.E.R. coalition. If you can take any action whatsoever to support their aims, please do.
Dear Friend and Supporter of Justice,
Last week, the Bush Administration—which pretends to be fighting a “war on terrorism”—allowed the release from prison of the leading self-confessed terrorist in the Americas, Luis Posada [...]

Happy International Workers Day. In 1887, five anarchists were murdered by the American state for nothing more than helping workers to organise. Today marks the day when we celebrate their struggle. Their deaths will never be forgotten and remind us why we must never forgive. In the words of August Spies, one of the martyrs:
