The importance of taking the streets is the driver behind this powerful animated short. By Sarah Quirion

The battle to stop the muthafuckin tar sands is spreading all over turtle island. Action camps to stop pipelines and new extraction projects, are being planned this summer all over the fuckin joint. But there was one struggle that captured our imagination last year: The fuckin troublemakers from the Tar Sands Blockade in East Texas. A new outfit called Mutual Aid Media made this rocking 10 minute mini doc.

From the YouTube Page:

“LOCKDOWN,” is a ten minute documentary by Mutual Aid Media on the Tar Sands Blockade–a group of activists and landowners in Texas who have built a campaign to stop the Keystone XL pipeline. This short doc follows activists as they plan an action camp, lead workshops, and execute a lockdown. We hope that this piece can be used to help promote direct action as well as gain support for Tar Sands Resistance campaigns.

Things have been shitty in Greece for quite a few years now, with the economy tanking, fucked up austerity measures, asshole cops and nazis. To say that Greeks have been having a hard time is a fuckin understatement. Undocumented migrants in Greece have it even worse, not only the fact that they can’t work legally and that they are attacked by racist boneheads, but to make things more frustrating they can’t leave.

The good fools from Reel News have been documenting this struggle and bring us this hard hitting doc called Into the Fire

From their website:

In times of severe austerity things look bleak for Greek people, but they’re far worse for those who have recently arrived. Without housing, legal papers or support, migrants in Greece are faced with increasing and often violent racism at the hands of the growing Nazi party Golden Dawn and the police in Athens. Many are trapped by EU laws and legislation of other EU countries meaning they’d be returned to Greece if they managed to get to another member state, they are desperate to leave the country.

Shit in Montréal has been getting hectic. If you watch my fuckin show you are already aware of the the ongoing student struggle for free education and theta way the pigs have been doing their master’s bidding to crush this movement. Between March and April, Montréal coppers mass arrested hundreds of people peacefully demonstrating against tuition hikes, police brutality and on April 5th, for the right to protest. In “Around the Kettle” Quebecois filmmaker, Moïse Marcoux-Chabot, captures the scene around this mass arrest a few weeks ago. Approx. 16 mins French with English subs.

From the YouTube page:

April 5, 2013. In reaction to the repression of several recent protests, a gathering is organized against the the City of Montreal’s municipal P-6 bylaw and in support of the right to protest. The several hundred people gathered at Place Émilie-Gamelin are surrounded by a significant police apparatus as soon as they arrive. On the basis of bylaw P-6, the SPVM announce that the protest is “illegal”, that no criminal action will be tolerated and that, if necessary, protesters will receive a warning before crowd dispersal manoeuvres are undertaken.

I’m pretty amazed that Savage Fam is not the biggest underground hip-hop group out there. “Hands of Vengance” is the first track I heard from them and it features Ant Loc, the main MC for Savage Fam. The track impressed me the way Cypress Hill’s “How I could just kill a man” hit me when I first heard it “This is the hardest shit out there” No rap group in the scene at the moment is hitting the issues of colonization, genocide and indigeneity with the lyrical dexterity of Savage Fam. All this with a foundation of solid beats and highly produced music videos. Maybe this shit’s too scary for white folks, the way Public Enemy was back in the day. If this is the case I invite you to let go of your fear and embrace the rage of Savage Fam.

Here are a few of their vids :

As a preview about the theme of my next fuckin show, I bring you Alanis Obomsawin’s “Kanehsatake: 270 Years of Resistance” the ground breaking doco about the Oka rebellion in the 90′s. In short the racist piece of shit mayor of Oka in so called Quebec, wanted to expand the local golf course by destroying a Mohawk burial ground. The Mohawks said “Fuck that” and the legendary battle broke out. Don’t fuck around and watch this shit.

From the YouTube page:

Obomsawin’s detailed portrayal of the Mohawk community places the Oka crisis within the larger context of Mohawk land rights dating back to 1535 when France claimed the site of present-day Montreal which had been the Mohawk village of Hochelaga. Her evocative dimension of the conflict, exploring the fierce conviction of the Mohawks and the communal spirit that enabled them to stand firm.

The Canadian government likes to throw the word democracy around in their PR campaigns, to boost its international image as a champion of human rights. But peeps in Turtle Island know that KKKanada’s rulers want nothing to do with democracy and everything to do with land destruction and profit. If they gave a shit, they would follow the examples of the original caretakers of this continent, who have been practicing bottom up governance for thousands of years. The Algonquins of Barriere Lake break it down for us:

From the YouTube page:

Barriere Lake Solidarity has produced this video to help bring attention to the current struggle of the Algonquins of Barriere Lake: The Canadian Government’s attempt to take control of the community through an obscure provision of the Indian Act known as Section 74. The video is narrated by Barriere Lake spokesperson Norman Matchewan.
