VICTORIA ANARCHIST BOOKFAIR:

We are happy to announce the fifth year of the Victoria Anarchist Bookfair, located on unceded Songhees Territory in Victoria, British Columbia. The Bookfair is for anarchists and non-anarchists, with participants from all over North America and beyond.

A Festival of Anarchy will take place during the week before the Bookfair, beginning on September 3rd, 2010.

It's our 5th Birthday and we're going to have a blast!

The Victoria Anarchist Bookfair, like the Montreal Anarchist Bookfair, is actually part of a more extended 'Festival of Anarchy' that starts tonight, September 3. Here's more on these events.

Festival of Anarchy Schedule
The Festival of Anarchy starts on September 3rd and builds up the momentum for opening day of the Anarchist Bookfair. This year we are proud to host a wide variety of events featuring many talented artists, musicians, film-makers and activists. Check out the line up!
Friday, September 3rd
PANIC!: FREEDOM IN SOUND 2
Camas Books, 2590 Quadra Street
Sound art, experimental music and performance, plus DIY art gallery
arrive at 5 pm to hang your art
7 pm for PANIC! Freedom in Sound
Saturday, September 4th
WE HAVE NO LEADERS! Benefit show for Kelly Pflug-Back
Mike XVX, Jeff Andrew, Star, Comrade Black, Chase, Sasha n Nedjo & more friends
$5-$15 sliding scale, no one turned away! All money raised goes to Kelly's legal defence
7:30 pm, BCGEU, 2994 Douglas St (PLEASE NOTE NEW ADDRESS)
Kelly Pflug-Back is a long time community organizer, whom has been targeted by the police and scape-goated as "the leader of the black bloc" from the G20. She is facing 13 charges including conspiracy, and mischief. The courts are viewing her charges as "hate crimes" against the police, meaning if she is convicted she will be given a stiffer sentence than normal.
This is a blatant misuse of hate crime legislation originally intended to protect identifiable minorities from racist, homophobic or sexist violence. We believe Kelly is being targeted for her roll as a community organizer doing anti-racist and anti-poverty work in her community.

URBAN CAPTURE THE FLAG
8:00 pm in Bastion Square
Capture the Flag is a team-based game popularized by the Boy Scouts of America as a way to prepare boys for conscription during the World Wars. Urban Capture the Flag (UCTF) is a 21st Century detournement of this practice, primarily organized by anarchists in North America as a way to build community, reclaim the streets and public space, develop insurrectionary and protest tactics for affinity groups, produce a counter-spectacle for passers-by and build group morale through risk-taking together.

PRISONS AT THE FRONT LINE OF REVOLUTION
A Victoria Anarchist Reading Circle event with Juliet Belmas
7:30 pm Camas Books, 2590 Quadra Street
After a lengthy prison term for smashing the state, Juliet Belmas has gone on to produce several award-winning short films about women in prison. Her painterly cinematic style and experimental production values have been characterized ‘subtle, yet harrowing.’ This evening she will discuss the politics of incarceration, including recent round-ups at the G-20 summit in Toronto, and why prisons are a “front-line” in the anarchist struggle. ( Sad as it is we have to interrupt this recorded announcement here and now. Julie "fucking" Belmas !!! Now I can die happy because I have indeed seen everything. It's things like this that make me doubt the sanity of some of my presumed "comrades". I have learned over the years that the way they see "reality" is quite different from the way I see it or, more importantly the way that over 99% of the population views it. And I think that a "health warning" should be put on much of their pronouncements insofar as the stated content is quite remote from their actual motivations. If I didn't claim the "anarchist" label I'd perhaps feel pity rather than annoyance. On the other hand I see what I have been doing for almost 40 years as 'politics', and they see it as ???? )

END:CIV SCREENING
Franklin López--Director/Producer, subMedia
7:30 pm, Camas Books, 2590 Quadra Street
END:CIV examines our culture’s addiction to systematic violence and environmental exploitation, and probes the resulting epidemic of poisoned landscapes and shell-shocked nations. Based in part on Endgame, the best-selling book by Derrick Jensen, END:CIV asks: "If your homeland was invaded by aliens who cut down the forests, poisoned the water and air, and contaminated the food supply, would you resist?"
Taking the long view: endless economic growth has turned into a global economic crash. What will the next hundred years bring? Students of history know that all civilizations eventually come to an end. The ancient Mayans, the dynasties of China, and the mighty Roman Empire, as long-lived and powerful as they were, could not escape this inevitability. The same goes for the culture we call Western Civilization. The causes underlying the collapse of civilizations are usually traced to overuse of resources. As we write this, the world is reeling from economic chaos, peak oil, climate change, environmental degradation, and political turmoil. Every day the headlines re-hash stories of scandal and betrayal of the public trust. We don't have to make outraged demands for the end of the current global system -- it seems to be coming apart already.
But acts of courage, compassion and altruism abound, even in the most damaged places. By documenting the resilience of the people hit hardest by war and repression, and the heroism of those coming forward to confront the crisis head-on, END:CIV illuminates a way out of this all-consuming madness and into a saner future.

There seems to be a pathological element in every progressive movement. I recall a women's film festival at the university of Regina (you may have been there Pat) featuring the works of Leni Refenstahl the Nazi propagandist. However that does not mean we should throw the baby out with the bath water. Not much attention has been given to the prisons since the death of Claire Culhane in 1996. This is a field that requires much selfless work. Besides, many years in jail can change a person's perspective. I can vouch for this from experience.
Spending one night in jail can change your perspective.
No doubt, no doubt. I have to admit that it is VERY hard for me to maintain an objective perspective on this matter. Let's just say, without making any incriminating statements, that I had utter contempt for these clowns when they were play acting at "revolution", and I have even greater contempt for them today when two of them are making money and publicity off their previous actions.
That's fine. At the time I had a certain amount of sympathy for Belmas considering the age at which she became a "hang around" and the age at which she became a "full patch" member of the Maoist insanity disguised as anarchism called 'Direct Action'. What I have NO sympathy for today is the madness of my presumed "comrades" who welcome her back into the club and glorify her statements when 27 years ago their fathers and mothers were bust condemning her guilty plea that screwed up the fake appeal of her fellow conspirators.
Personally I have little sympathy for the 'identity politics' that fails to see her as a victim of older manipulative people. Neither do I have any sympathy for the 'identity politics' that welcomes her back as some sort of spokewoman. Tell me...WOULD YOU BE SO FOOLISH AS TO TRUST HER WITH A SECRET ? There are LOTS of people who can tell what it is like in prison, and I don't think this one is necessary.
Wish we had something like this in Toronto, I'd start one myself but as an Anarchist I have a hard time organizing anything :p
Greetings admin I like your topic, after reading your article very helpful at all and can be a source of reference I will wait for your next article updates Thank you, for sharing
