FEAR OF A BLACK BLOC PLANET

This week:

1. Herman Wallace RIP
2. The KGB's in da house
3. Mexico never forgives
4. Brazil's Black Bloc
5. Pussy Riot
6. Who are the warriors?

This episode of It's The End of The World
And I Feel Fine

was made possible by contributions from
slaves like you; spank you very much.

... And I was horrified, y'know?
I mean, I'm frightened for my cops.

Chief Thomas Nestel reacting to this video.

Watch as the suspect Ernest Hayes,
who police say was avoiding arrest,

throws Septa police officer Samuel Washington
on the ground and pins him under a bench.

Police say he was wanted in connection with
a Septa ticket scam,

when officer Washington stopped him,
this is what happened.

The chief says not a single Septa passenger
called for help,

but this lady did take out her phone to record the fight.

[ *MUSIC: It's the end of the world
as we know it, and I feel fiiiiine

Goooooooood morning, slaves

and welcome to another sedition of It's The
End of The World And I Feel Fine.

The show that asks the question

"What would you guys do
if you saw a cop getting beat up?"

"I asked that question of
lots of people on the street today,

most of them said they would
pick up their phones to record the fight."

SOUNDS OF PUNCHES ]

[ STIMULATOR ] I am your host Stimulator, & it has been a hot second since i've done a fucking show,

but before we look at the riot porn
from Mexico and Brazil,

I'd like to pay tribute to Herman Wallace,

the badass freedom fighter who was locked up
in solitary confinement for 41 fuckin years

for co-founding one of the 1st prison chapters
of the Black Panthers.

Even though Wallace was dying of liver cancer,

the motherfuckin' state would not let
this valiant brother out.

That is, until the judge granted him freedom
just days before his death.

Wallace's case is not unique,

as dozens of political prisoners

in the united snakes

are denied medical care and humane treatment
on a regular fuckin' basis.

These folks gave up their freedom to fight for yours,

so to help these homies out, visit the

[ SCREAMING IN RUSSIAN ]

Speaking of political prisoners, Pussy Riot's
Nadezhda Tolokonnikova, or Nadia,

has gone missing for a few days.

Russian prison pigs say
she is in transit to another jail,

but her peeps are worried about her safety.

Pussy Riot is a russian punk band

that got worldwide notoriety after rocking out a song
called "Virgin Mary Put Putin Away"

at an orthodox church in moscow.

The ladies were given harsh prison sentences
for expressing their rage at the russian president,

who has been treating this territory
as his own personal fifedom

since taking power over 10 fucking years ago.

Recently, Greenpeace activists have been locked up by russkie pigs

for trying to board an oil platform
owned by russian oil giant Gazprom,

and activists opposing a new anti-gay law

get routinely attacked by homophobes and the cops,

this is about to get more interesting

as the 5 cockrings of death
penetrate russian territory next year.

Buuuuuut Olympic repression is nothing new.

In the land of tacos right before the 1968 olympics,
homocidal mexican soldiers

fired upon and murdered hundreds of protesters

in what is now known as the
massacre of Tlatelolco.

Buuuuuut, like Anonymous, the motherfuckin' mexican resistance says

ehhhhh.... pentaco!

thousands of peeps rolled up into the streets of mexico city

to pay tribute to the fallen comrades.

Anarchists lit up the scene
by hurling molotov cocktails,

and fiercely beat back the mexican pigs.

Buuuuut, this insurrectionary moment was not limited to mexico city.

And anarcho homies in Oaxaca showed their fucking cochinos that what happened in '68

would never happen again.

Check this shit out.

The Oaxacan cops shouldnt be surprised
by this awesome demonstration of street power,

as memories from the 2006 insurrection

reminded them of the time when comrades and teachers kicked them out of their fucking city.

Speaking of pissed of teachers...

educators in brazil invaded the streets of rio
to demand higher wages.

Teachers have been on strike since august

but the government seems more keen
to spend money on other useless shit.

" The military has the money to support, to bring, olympiads, and the world comes,

where's the money for education and for our health
and for everything else? "

Black Blocs have been deployed on these protests,

once again bringing international attention
to this tactic of tactics.

I asked author Chris Hedges if he had been following the Black Bloc during the brazil teachers strike.

[ Hedges ] Y'know, I have been following that,
because the brazilian papers have interviewed me,

um, and, uh, a lot of people in the unions,
and a lot of people in brazil

are quite angry with the Black Bloc.

[ STIMULATOR ] Actually Hedges?
You're dead fucking wrong.

Brazil's teachers union has vowed unconditional
support for people engaging in Black Bloc,

citing many instances in qhich anarchists protected the teachers from the violence of the police.

Alex Trentino, who is the general coordinator
of the teachers union stated:

Now, Hedges, are you finally fuckin ready
to throw your support behind Black Bloc?

[ HEDGES ] Sure.

[ PUSSY RIOT SINGING IN RUSSIAN ]

[ STIMULATOR ] A few weeks ago i was
camping at a blockade initiated by

members of the Mi`kmaq Warriors Society

to stop a motherfracking mining company
called South Western Energy, or SWINE,

for exploring their traditional territory for natural gas.

This had been an escalation
after many motherfucking months

of people getting their asses beat,

by the murderous villains of the Royal Colonial Mounted Poniners.

or, RCMPigs.

[ SCOTT THOMPSON ] You loser!

You pig!

You piece of pork!

Whatre you got in there?

Like some bacon-cured PIG???

snortsnortsnort

im a big pig! i'm a big pig!

SNORT!SNORT!SNORT!...

[ STIMULATOR ] The Warriors held their ground,
stopping all motherfracking activity in the area,

until Roctober 17th

when over 200 beligerent, steroid filled pork stables

descended on the camp
like jack-booted fascist stormtroopers.

This has to be the scariest shit i ever been through,

but i managed to fake being a badass long enough
to avoid shitting in my pants.

[ HIGH PITCHED SCREAMING ]

In the end, the real heroes that day
were the folks from the community

who came to support the Warriors and
stood their ground until all the pigs were gone.

Oh yeah, and they managed to torch
6 of their fucking pigmobiles.

In the aftermath of the raid,

there's been much shit-talking about
the Warrior Society by the mainstream media.

"*...reluctant to crack down on
organized indian crime,

"as opposed to... organized hells angels crime
or mafia crime."

"So, it's not just a social guilt,
it's our politicians' fear."

"Oh, they remember the Oka standoff where heavily armed Oka Mohawk warriors"

"stared down the canadian forces and a
quebec policeman was murdered."

[ STIMULATOR ] But in the end, those chode rockers don't really know shit about the Warriors.

" Warriors... come out to playayyy"

[ STIMULATOR ] No nanananana not those Warriors.

These Warriors:

[ FROM FILM ] The warriors act immediately,

they use a front end loader abandoned by the Sûreté du Québec to make several barricades;

this time, on the main highway, the 344."

[ STIMULATOR ] In 1990 the Warrior's Socirty gained international notoriety

for beating back both the canadian army
and the pigs,

from the Mohawk community of Kanesatake,
in what is now known as the Oka Crisis.

To find out more about the Warrior Society,

i spoke with Clifton Nicholas of Kanesatake.

Hey Clifton, how the fuck are you?

[ CLIFTON ] Im fuckin great, man.

[ STIMULATOR ] Soooo... just what the fuck is
the Warrior Society?

[ CLIFTON ] I have to state, I do not represent the Warrior Society,

I do not speak on their behalf,

uh, and I don't even say "they"

because everybody has this misnomer that the Warrior Society is an organization, it's not.

It's a movement.

It's like... of course in the media they try to paint a picture like the Warrior movement

is like organized crime or some kind of
almost like a biker gang,

when we're not, it has nothing
to do with that.

There are people who confuse...
between beign a gangster and being a warrior.

There's a very big difference between the two.

There's a line that divides the two.

The warrior society is a movement

that came to, in the late 60's, early 70's,

kinda coincides with the start of the
American Indian Movement,

and also the rights movements that were going on during 1960's,

the Civil Rights movement and so on.

And the warrior movement just simply
a rekindling of the duties and responsibilities

of men and women in traditional societies,
and the roles & duties in defense of their people.

and it's part of the Longhouse,
the Longhouse people,

the Great Law, Gayanashagowa,
all governs the actions of this movement.

There are some, I feel that they take the movement,
they try and separate it from the Longhouse,

and try to separate it from that, try to have it, something that's gonna be self-regulating,

it doesn't work that way.

The warrior movement is part of the Longhouse,

the Longhouse controls the warrior movement.

And the warriors, there's no membership criteria,

except being Ongweoweh, meaning native,
being Indigenous,

and having Gayanashagowa in your heart.

Theres the warrior flag that you see from 1990
with the Mohawk on it.

That's one flag,

but the original Mohawk flag has a man and a
woman, this is what it's supposed to be right?

It's not a male-dominated movement.

It' the women who have a big part
to play in this movement.

And you hear the media talk about "well the warriors are hiding behind the women."

First of all, you don't tell a Mohawk woman what
to do, y'know, she won't take it from you.

She'll do what she wants to do.

And that's what... we've known that, we had that wisdom to say that women have their place,

and they have a right to do what they're doing,
and have a right to take part in everything.

So then in 1990 when you seen the warriors there, and the women were approaching the police,

tellin them y'know that they have to move,
you have to go,

what theyre doing is... they're not...
the men are not hiding behind the women.

The women are actually protecting our adversaries,
they're protecting them from us.

It's their duty and their role,
to first put that olive branch, right?

Bring out that laurel, here, lets discuss this,
let's negotiate,

and they refused to negotiate with us,

so then, y'know, the final step is the women,
the women pull back and the men take over.

And this is the thing, it's a big decision to make.

In the traditional world, the way we look at it as Kanien’kehá:ka people, which is Mohawk,

Kanien’kehá:ka people, it's the women who are in charge of warfare,

it's the women who call the shots, it's the women
who decide that men will go to war,

not men, it's not a male decision.

Women will say to the men "now you can go to war,
i'll bury the fire, put out the flames,

I put out the hearth, you can't come home to the hearth, there's nothign here,

"you have to go out and fight"

That's a woman's decision.

[ STIMULATOR ] And can you explain
what the Longhouse is?

[ CLIFTON ] OK the Longhouse is, it's basically
what we call ourselves,

um, it's based on a traditional dwelling
that we used to live in,

which is an elongated family dwelling.

... a matrilocal dwelling, where the clan would live.

In our society, our lineage and descent
goes through the women,

so it would be the woman's, the matriarch's house,

which is long, with many fires for different families,

So you have a nuclear family of a mother, a father
or husband, and their child,

they'd be a family, and each of these families
would share a hearth with another one.

So it'd be an elongated house.

So the Confederacy of Iroquois Nations

we would call it our Haudenosaunee in Mohawk,
or Onandaga as Haudenosaunee,

which literally means The People of The Longhouse.

And this is a symbol of what we use
as a symbol of our people.

If you look on the spiritual and political end of it,

the Longhouse is the structure that was used
to meet and have ceremonies in.

So our political structures would be
in the Longhouse,

and our religious ceremonies would be
in the Longhouse.

So you hear the pan term "Longhouse",
Longhouse people,

you hear Iroquois people saying this often.

[ STIMULATOR ] I've heard peeps say that
there's similarities

between anarchists and some traditional cultures,
what the fuck?

Yeah, as anarchists I think it's a natural thing,

for Haudenosaunee people to be anarchists.

I always liked the, one of the quotes, I don't know
what his name was,

maybe you could find it and research, he's a Jesuit,

who wrote about Haudenosaunee people,
and Mohawks in particular,

and I love what he said when he said

"Each and every one of them are sovereign
unto themselves,

they follow no one
and they take orders from no one."

So that, to me, speaks volumes
about being an anarchist,

you are sovereign unto yourself,

you know, you have no king,
you have no masters.

Our people, historically, did what they wanted,
when they wanted and how they wanted,

both the men and the women.

[ STIMULATOR ] Thanks Clifton.

And that about does it for this edition of It's The
End of The World As We Know It & I Feel Fine.

I want to say big ups to all who supported my work
in the past 2 months

while I've been producing other videos to support
Indigenous struggles in Turtle Island.

It just fills my fucking heart with hot sauce

knowing that you all care more than just about
riot porn and burning cops.

So with that said, here's a long fucking list of thanks:
