Thousands of OWS protestors occupyTimes Square, Oct. 15 in a nonviolent protest against social injustice, inequality, corruption and corporate greed.
In the 1930s, students at the art school where I recently studied designed the architecture of concentration camps in Czech Republic. Nowadays, designers at the same school design firearms for the Czech Armaments Factory, which is one of the main players on the market and sells to anyone who pays, including dictators and totalitarian regimes. The design students are not usually ideologically accountable to anyone, they just "do their job". The heroes in modern-day armouries who have a monopoly on violence from the state are also “just doing their job”. They guard the status quo of neoliberal capitalism, which is not an ideology but the only possible democratic model we know right? It is all about money, and money is apolitical. Within the borders of national states, the guardians of order will intervene whenever someone dislikes this state of affairs. It is unacceptable for the hierarchy of social classes to be violated and let the classwar erupt. Or If somebody were to demonstrate for the emancipation of racial minorities or for equal opportunities for women and men. Lately, problems have been piling up with the mobs demanding something called climate justice.
I'm not a product designer, but like any artist I'd like to break into the market. So I've decided to update this genius invention for beating the troublesome scum. I'm offering the patent for my new version of the tonfa to the law enforcement agency of the state that pays the most. Price is negotiable. I believe this little invention will please not only the policemen themselves and will make their work radically more efficient. State power means well for us. Therefore, we should take every tonfa punch from a knight protecting his lord as a kind gesture of goodness and be grateful for their wisdom and generosity.

It took a couple of seconds to down a third of a pint of milk, and not much longer for Thatcher to take it away from us, but this was just the start of her war on "the enemy within".
I like the symbolic noose round each bottle.
(By the way if you started school after September 1971 you might have to do a little research to understand this - unless you have been well-educated by your parents.)
Student Demonstration against fees and education cuts, London 10/11/10. A large group of protestors broke off from the main march and attacked The Millbank buildings which houses the Conservative Party HQ.
Police were overwhelmed and a riot soon broke out.
This is a weird one.
Temple Quay is this shiny new development of offices that in one of the most deprived wards in England - it's in the 1% most deprived Super Output Areas (the unit you measure deprivation in - a small area of about 1,500 people) in the country. Temple Quay are shiny offices dropped in with no relationship to the area, and is part 1 of the whole development. The next stage is Temple Quay 2, the other side of the harbour. It used to be things like garages, workshops and a police car garage - now it's all been knocked down and very posh flats are going up that will be right next to some Council housing and very poor housing. This fence is part of the gateway from the Easton side to Temple Quay - where you'd walk over the footbridge to get to the offices, with empty flat land waiting to be gentrified. Just across the river is a concrete set of steps where people sit at lunchtime, a square with a really soul-less Wetherspoons pub, and the route to the station. It's been interesting seeing the class-war-in-graffiti that's broken out on the fence......

Lansing Michigan.
People protesting the absurd, unjust and cruel budget legislation passed by the Legislature and new Governer Rick Snyder.
I had to go. This Republican/Conservative nonsense has gone way to far. This so called fiscally responsible budget burdens the poor, working people, pensioners and state workers with $1.7 Billion in taxes and benefit cuts, while giving $1.8B in tax cuts to corporations. What kind of budget cutting is that? The legislation also strips state workers of the right to union protection and allows the governor to replace locally elected officials. No wonder people are in the streets. This is baldfaced facism.
I had to go. Sorry, I normally don't post this kind of thing, but, this is beyond the pale.

Emmely zu Besuch bei der ebenfalls fristlos gekündigten Altenpflegerin Brigitte Heinisch.
Februar 2009, ein Foto aus schweren Zeiten.
Emmelys Klage auf Wiedereinstellung bei der Supermarktkette Kaisers wurde wenige Tage zuvor vom Landesarbeitsgericht abgeschmettert. Die Unterstützung und der warme Zuspruch von Freunden und Familie waren für Emmely in dieser Situation überlebenswichtig.
Das Bild ist in der Wohnung der Altenpflegerin und Whistleblowerin Brigitte Heinisch entstanden. Emmely wird gerade von ihrer Mutter angerufen, die zum Abschluß des Gesprächs sagt: „Laß dich nicht unterkriegen!“
Emmely hörte auf ihre Mutter und im Juni 2010 war es dann endlich soweit: Mit einer breiten Solidaritätsbewegung im Rücken konnte sie sich vor dem Bundesarbeitsgericht gegenüber dem Tengelmann-Konzern durchsetzen.
Einen gut recherchierter Hintergrundartikel zu Emmelys harten Kampf gibt es hier: arbeitsunrecht.de/von-einer-supermarkt-kassiererin-zu-den...
Emmely war und blieb eine aktive und kämpferische Gewerkschafterin, wurde von ihren Kolleginnen in den Personalrat gewählt. Bis kurz vor ihrem Tod malochte sie an der Kasse eines Hohenschönhausener Supermarktes – nicht selten in 10-Stunden-Schichten…

This piece of fence, which surrounds a derelict site waiting for luxury flats and offices, has this sporadic class war going on in graff.

One of the largest receivers of Contracts in San Francisco for housing units called 'SRO's' Single Room Occupancy and transitional housing units.
They manage the Mission Hotel which was run for a long time by a known Norteno Gang Member who was allegedly 'double & triple' billing The City & Providers for rooms when residents left and moved into tax funded shelters. Drug sales and prostitution were common before and is still happening today.
