REMEMBER BRETON PRISONERS AT XMAS

  Political activists of the socialist republican Emgann group in
  Brittany are facing another Xmas in jail without trial on conspiracy
  charges related to a bombing campaign by ARB (Breton Revolutionary
  Army).

  Don't forget the Breton prisoners this Xmas and if possible
  send gifts, cards or messages of support to the six men.

  The six are:

  Alain Solé (Nanterre Prison 19 691 A/21), MAH, PP1414, 133 ave. Commune
  de Paris, 92014 Nanterre Cedex, France.

  Pascal Laizé  (Paris-la Santé Prison 274 740 F - 2/247) MAH, 42 rue
  de la Santé, 75674 Paris cedex 14, France

  Kristian Georgeault  (Paris-la Santé Prison 274 740 F - 2/247) MAH,
  42 rue de la Santé, 75674 Paris cedex 14, France

  Stéphane Philippe  (Paris-la Santé Prison 274 740 F - 2/247) MAH,
  42 rue de la Santé, 75674 Paris cedex 14, France

  Gaël Roblin  (Paris-la Santé Prison 274 740 F - 2/247) MAH, 42 rue
  de la Santé, 75674 Paris cedex 14, France

  Jérôme Bouthier (Fleury-Mérogis Prison 304 011 X - D2) MAH, 7 ave.
  des Peupliers, 91705 Fleury-Mérogis, France

  Many of the prisoners are facing their third Xmas in detention and
  despite demonstrations and support for their release or at least their
  relocation to prisons closer to their homeland the French government
  remain unmoved.

  The longest serving prisoner is Alain Solé who is facing his fourth
  Xmas in captivity. Despite severe medical problems and concern for
  his deteriorating health the latest information the Celtic League
  has is that he was moved last month from Fresnes to Nanterre which
  has no suitable medical facilities.

  A support web-site for Gael Roblin has been established by relatives
  at:

  www.gael-roblin.org

  General information about all the prisoners can be accessed at the
  Breton Political Prisoners support organisation, Skoazell Vreizh -

  3 straed Aristide Briand, 44350 GWENRANN, Brittany.

"the Breton Revolutionary Army" is that a joke or what? I know that people in Brittany have a different identity. But I didnt think that the sentiment was strong enough to establish a "Revolutionary Army".

I know it has been going on for a long time and I know a woman whose brother was involved. But in general it isn't very well publicised, so good to get a POW list at least.

Many mythic celtic themes of transmogrification.
Lovely man was he by all acounts and wore a traditional hat, quite popular, the partisans I see have awoken in my absense and thoughts that the only explosion in Britanny was less than one year after the Erika sank, a Mc Donalds indeed, The sculptor now is dead, but his bronzes are actually surprisingly well known and thought of as Irish, The Breton disaster which was the Erika (an oil tanker that sank in 100meteres of water) shallow was little in comparison to the Prestige, which touches at times of quiet reflection such as are enjoyed as light relief from the memories of Argentina and the terror unleashed on her people one year ago in the name of the $, reminds me of that fine Russian mathematician Ilya Prigogine, who later would address a symposium on microgravity and biotechnology hosted oh years ago, thermodynamics and chaos theory, oil on the beach in the sea watched from space like a lava lamp.

I think his name was Yann Gourlay? and he could not go back to France.

but i know one of his sculptures is the memorial in the Republican grave yard in Belfast.
I can´t remember their names either.

I thought his first name was Patric, anyway he died in 2000. Lots of bronzes all over the place.
The Bretons don´t have a revolutionary people´s movement, but they did throw up angry young men who saw fit to attack the most clichéd symbol of our international Capital.
It though thankfully had a working assocaition of green socialist and anarchist groupings who helped the workers of the Erika beach clean-up in their protracted lawsuits against the French government for adacquate health support.
The Oil was very toxic.
Oil is always very toxic.


It saddens me that some anarchists and socialists are still arguing over Venezuela.
I know that bolivarian groups and anarchist groups and liberation theologist and greens (there is a huge green dimension to Venezuelan Oil companies research which deals with Water supply as well) are working together.

Disinformation is allowing different groups with differing macro-agenda to attemtp to split the unity of purpose of the black white red and green alliance in Venezeula.
That really is a shame. It shows that some elements from all blocks have not learnt anything from Argentina.
I do not dare to write all anarchists are doing good things now, but I know that many are.
Venezeuala is a perfect example of dis-information for both Europeans and North Americans, if family members here in Europe phoning home can not be told "what´s happening" by their kith and kin, then how can our social movements spokepeople and leaders so blythly aproportion blame?

Is it you who blew up a McDonalds killing a worker? If yes, don't you think there are better ways to attact the Parisian state?
