  14. Die Schwarze Risse stabil solidarisch mit Statement zum #Buchhandlungspreis:

    Wir – der Buchladen Schwarze Risse - gratulieren den Kolleg:innen der Buchläden ‘Golden Shop’, ‘Rote Strasse’ und ‘zur schwankende Weltkugel zur Verleihung des Prädikats: verfassungsgeprüft 'gefährlich'!

    Für die Buchhandlungspreisvergabe hat dem Minister die gewählte Fachjury nicht genügt, #Weimer hat für seine Entscheidung die Behörde herangezogen, die im geheimen agiert. Weshalb ja auch dem Minister die Inhalte seiner Entscheidungrundlage unbekannt sind, so sagt er. Bekannt ist hingegen, dass diese mit der Verfassungsprüfung beauftragte Behörde nicht nur zu den ausspionierten Informationen über die Buchläden schweigt, sondern auch zur eigenen Rolle bei den rassistischmotivierten Morden des #NSU. Über eine mögliche Mitwisserschaft oder anderes soll der Aktendeckel gleich mal ganze 120 Jahre unter Verschluss bleiben.

    Wohin will Minister Weimer die Kultur führen?

    Der Angriff auf die linken #Buchläden mit dem Verweis auf ihre verfassungsgeprüfte Gefährlichkeit ist kein Einzelfall. Er reiht sich ein in diverse Vorfälle repressiver Massnahmen (#Fördergeldkürzungen, #Distanzierungsforderungen, #Skandalisierung von Meinungen) mit denen sich Institutionen und/oder Personen konfrontiert sehen, die nicht im Fahrwasser der #Staatsräson mitschwimmen woll(t)n, diejenigen, die die bestehende Ordnung in Frage stell(t)en.

    Wer dies tut, kann schnell ins Visier der Behörden geraten und je nach gesellschaftlicher Stimmung zum Abschuss frei gegeben werden.

    Wir gratulieren zum verliehenen Prädikat 'gefährlich', zeigt er doch, dass diese Läden als Orte der Kritik gesehen werden: Linke Buchläden sind voll von Stimmen und Erzählungen, die kritische Perspektiven auf die bestehenden Verhältnisse werfen und aufzeigen, wie lebensbedrohlich und gefährlich, für Mensch, Tier und Natur - nicht die verfassungsgeprüften #Buchhändler:innen, #Autor:innen, #Extremist:innen und.#Terrorist:innen - sondern die bürgerlichen, kapitalistischen Verhältnisse sind.

    Die Erkenntnisse und Schilderungen über die Gewalt und Grausamkeiten, mit denen die herrschende Ordnung, die Besitz-und Eigentums-, die Reich- und Armutsverhältnisse durchgesetzt und aufrechtgehalten werden, sind vielfältig von denkenden und mutigen Menschen und Kollektiven analysiert und aufgeschrieben worden.

    All dieses Wissen, all diese Anregungen sind in grosser Auswahl in linken Buchläden anzutreffen, dazu die Buchhändler:innen, die im Austausch mit Autor:innen, kleinen Verlagen und ihrer Kundschaft dieses breite Sortiment zusammenstellen: wertschätzend, kritisch, kämpferisch, liebevoll - in jedem Fall mit grosser Leidenschaft!

    Erfreulich, dass die betroffenen Kolleg:innen in den letzten Tagen so viel Zuspruch erhalten haben!

    Mit dieser Solidarität und dem bewussten Aufsuchen der Buchläden tragen alle gemeinsam zum Erhalt linker Buchläden bei - ggf. auch ohne staatliche Gelder.

  16. This story has it all...! Alleged egalitarian vegan collectives, #WhiteNationalist con artists, amateur pornographers, confrontations with #Indigenous people... Wow! Posting some excerpts, but one should read the whole article...

    White Nationalist leader in #Arkansas accused of #LandSwindle, attempted murder

    by Jacqueline Froelich February 6, 2026

    "#PeterCsere makes his living developing private intentional communities. In 2016 in #ElPangui, #Ecuador, he helped establish #FruitHavenEcovillage, a vegan decentralized egalitarian consensus-based collective carved into the edge of an Amazon rainforest.

    "Seven years later, in 2023, Csere fled Fruit Haven, chased by allegations that he took others’ money with him. Csere has since broken ground on a controversial new #WhitesOnly development in the #Arkansas #Ozarks branded Return to the Land, currently occupied by a few dozen followers. He and partner #EricOrwoll, a California native and amateur #pornographer, purchased 160 acres of raw property in rural Sharp County to construct their prototype #WhiteNationalist compound. The private membership association last year drew international media attention, public condemnation and great admiration from #Extremist brethren.

    [...]

    "The most serious allegation cited by Fruit Haven residents is that Csere physically attacked members of the #ShuarNation, an #Amazonian #indigenous tribe, in a dispute over llegal mining. The #Shuar were panning for gold along a stream on Fruit Haven property, which they claim is their original tribal land base.

    "According to Frost, Csere, by that point, had begun to dress in 'military-style clothing' and had become increasingly confrontational with locals.

    [...]

    “Members from the white nationalist and #WhiteIdentitarian community have donated hundreds of thousands of dollars to fund #ReturnTotheLand projects in Arkansas including tens of thousands of dollars in legal fees,' Russell said. 'Yet there is no evidence that money is being used as promised. This is not a misunderstanding — it is deliberate donor deception.' "

    #RussianParliament approves a bill punishing online searches for information deemed ‘#extremist

    Updated 6:47 AM EDT, July 25, 2025

    MOSCOW (AP) — "The Russian parliament’s upper house on Friday quickly approved a bill that punishes #OnlineSearches for information officially branded 'extremist,' the latest in a series of moves by authorities to tighten control of the internet.

    The legislation makes what it describes as 'deliberately searching for and accessing extremist materials' online punishable by a fine of up to the equivalent of $64.

    "The bill, which was endorsed by the lower house earlier this week, is now set to be signed into law by President Vladimir #Putin.

    The official definition of extremist activity is extremely broad and includes opposition groups like the #AntiCorruptionFoundation, created by the late opposition leader #AlexeiNavalny, and the 'international #LGBT movement.'

    "It’s not clear how authorities will track down violators.

    "Officials and lawmakers said ordinary internet users won’t be affected and only those who methodically seek outlawed content will be targeted. They didn’t explain how authorities would differentiate between them.

    "Russians widely use #VPN services for access to #BannedContent, but authorities have sought to tighten restrictions and close the loopholes. The state communications watchdog has increasingly used technology to analyze traffic and block specific VPN protocols.

    "Russian authorities have ramped up their multipronged #crackdown on dissent after sending troops into #Ukraine in February 2022.

    "Since then, online #censorship and prosecutions for social media posts and comments have soared.

    "Multiple independent news outlets and rights groups have been shut down, labeled as 'foreign agents' or outlawed as 'undesirable.' Hundreds of #activists and critics of the #Kremlin have faced criminal charges."

    MOSCOW (AP) — "The Russian parliament’s upper house on Friday quickly approved a bill that punishes #OnlineSearches for information officially branded 'extremist,' the latest in a series of moves by authorities to tighten control of the internet.

    The legislation makes what it describes as 'deliberately searching for and accessing extremist materials' online punishable by a fine of up to the equivalent of $64.

    "The bill, which was endorsed by the lower house earlier this week, is now set to be signed into law by President Vladimir #Putin.

    The official definition of extremist activity is extremely broad and includes opposition groups like the #AntiCorruptionFoundation, created by the late opposition leader #AlexeiNavalny, and the 'international #LGBT movement.'

    "It’s not clear how authorities will track down violators.

    "Officials and lawmakers said ordinary internet users won’t be affected and only those who methodically seek outlawed content will be targeted. They didn’t explain how authorities would differentiate between them.

    "Russians widely use #VPN services for access to #BannedContent, but authorities have sought to tighten restrictions and close the loopholes. The state communications watchdog has increasingly used technology to analyze traffic and block specific VPN protocols.

    "Russian authorities have ramped up their multipronged #crackdown on dissent after sending troops into #Ukraine in February 2022.

    "Since then, online #censorship and prosecutions for social media posts and comments have soared.

    "Multiple independent news outlets and rights groups have been shut down, labeled as 'foreign agents' or outlawed as 'undesirable.' Hundreds of #activists and critics of the #Kremlin have faced criminal charges."
