It was 8 years ago that I decided to throw caution to the wind and take the risk to spread my wings and embark on the unknown. The decision to emigrate to Amsterdam was the unknown, I couldn't even speak English never mind Dutch. In actual fact it was here in this wonderful city that I learnt to speak English. Finding my way around this city, I stumbled upon OCCII. I was happy to discover that once a week was dedicated to childrens activities. This being an opportunity for me and my daughter to get aquainted with the local climate. Fortunately my daughter thoroughly enjoyed the childrens activities at the Kinderpret. It was not long before I was busy working as a volunteer and part of a great team. I guess that was eight years ago, things don't change so much. I am still part of this great team working as a volunteer for The Kinderpret. Kinderpret take part in festivals namely Appelscha, Ruigoord, Robodock. We try to raise awareness and educate children about ecology, animal rights, vegetarianism, peace, freedom, equality and other social justice issues through art, theatre. My role in this educating process, with the help of my camcorder. I teach children how to use a camcorder. video being a powerful tool that can bring about social justice and environment protection. To watch my work please go to:- Spirit of Squatters.
Here is a list of activities that we do at the OCCII: The Kinderpret
Improvisational Theatre,
Interactive Theatre
Childrens programme that covers the usual childrens activities.
Apart of my voluntary work for OCCII: Kinderpret, my days are pretty full with other unpaid work namely filming and editing. In the past I filmed and was busy with small projects for Vrije Kiezer TV. Most of my work I put immediately onto my pages - Spirit of Squatters.
I have been writing my biography for the last few years. Published fragments are available in Fort Van Sjakoo, unfortunately they are in Polish. Great for the Polish community here in Amsterdam but not for the english speaking community. One day they will be translated into english. My second book 'Life of Activists' is work in progress but will be available soon. Another platform that I use for independant media is Patapoe 88.3FM. My show is called Awakening. You are welcome to listen every Tuesday from 16:00 - 19:00hrs.
To put the finishing touches to this 'alternative cv', I guess it is easy to see that I am not in the monetary world. Being part of the sqautting movement allows me to work as a voluteer doing the things that are important. Being a firm believer that everyone should have at least the basics. My goal is to make my passion my paid work. So I will get straight to the point, if you have any work for me, that fits in with all of the above as I will not make any compromise to my political views but I am open to learn more about the above. You are more than welcome to write to me.
Kind Regards,

For Freedom and Justice.For Palestina.Amsterdam 22.02.09
Relation from demonstration in front of the hotel where Edelheit speaksperson of army of Izrael had his lecture. The hotel after many complains cancelled the event thats why happened in other hotel. There on the lecture he was attacked 4 times by 3 persons with their shoes. Beside of that more than 50 people were demonstrating in front of the hotel.
Woordvoerder Israëlische leger 'geschoend'
Shalom - 22.02.2009 22:41
Ron Edelheit, een van de perswoordvoerders van het Israëlische leger die vanavond een lezing gaf in het Amsterdamse Apollo-hotel, kreeg tijdens het spreken vier schoenen naar zijn hoofd gegooid.
Edelheit, die als woordvoerder van het Israëlische leger vanuit Sderot een belangrijke rol speelde in de propaganda tijdens de aanvallen op Gaza, was uitgenodigd door een aantal fel pro-Israëlische organisaties om te spreken onder de titel ‘Operation cast lead – en nu...?’
De drie schoenengooiers studeren in Groningen en Leiden, waar ze actief zijn bij de Internationale Socialisten. Ze hadden zich als geïnteresseerden aangemeld voor de bijeenkomst. Nadat Edelheit ongeveer een half uur gesproken had, gooiden zij vier schoenen onder de leus: ‘geen oorlogsmisdadigers in Amsterdam, je moet door naar het Internationaal Strafhof in Den Haag’. Daarna werden zij met harde hand en onder bedreigingen tegen de grond gewerkt door de veiligheidsdienst van de organisatoren, en vervolgens door de politie meegenomen naar het bureau. Momenteel zitten zijn vast op het hoofdbureau in Amsterdam.
Buiten het Apollo-hotel voerden ondertussen ruim vijftig mensen van het platform Stop de Oorlog tegen Gaza luidruchtig actie tegen de komst van Edelheit. Zij riepen leuzen als ‘Edelheit in de cel’ en ‘Nederland: medeplichtig’. Eerder het weekend besloot The College Hotel, waar de bijeenkomst oorspronkelijk zou hebben plaatsgevonden, al om de afspraak met de organisatoren te annuleren naar aanleiding van een groot aantal e-mails, telefoontjes en faxen van bezorgde burgers die klaagden dat het hotel geen podium zou moeten bieden aan een verdediger van oorlogsmisdaden.

Alternative CV (still to corect)
8 years ago I emigrated to Amsterdam. When I just founded that here its some activity for children on squatted center, we went there straight with my daughter. From first time we felt in love in Kinderpret. I employed myself there as volunteer. From 8 years every Wednesday we have great time in OCCII. Together with kinderpret group we participate also in other festivals (Apekscha, Robodock, Ruigord etc...) We play there improvised, interactive theater shows ( Speurtocht ) And we are managing there children program. I'm also doing theater video camera workshop, where kids themselves are making reportage's on some important for them subjects. Sometimes is about ecology, creating peace, freedom, equality, sometimes animal rights,sometimes human, immigrants rights etc. Together they are making movie where young are educating the adults how better live for their future, with care for nature and animals.
Examples of their work You can see on the channel Spirit Of Squatters what I'm making. There You can see few more off my movies. Filming is another thing what I'm doing. I used to film for Vrije keizer TV (You can watch every Tuesdays from 8-9pm on ATV1) Now I'm publishing more on net.
My life I'm also documenting in many other ways. I'm writing a books about my adventures, actions what I'm participating in, about my thoughts and points of views. First of them is already finished but still is waiting for rewriting and for publisher. Fragment's (1/3) are already published in Poland and here available in Fort Van Sjakjo. The second book "Life Of Activists" I'm still writing and living in. Problem for most of You is that is in Polish. The things what I'm creating and copying in English and Dutch You could see on the pages which I'm still managing better in their Polish version. Those pages that mainly positive activism news and also platform for activities what I'm connected to and for affinity groups what I'm busy with. One of them is radio program Awakening in every Tuesdays from 16.00-19.00 in radio Patapoe 88.3 FM. In our program we talk non stop. We trying to awake hearts, consciouses and brains for positive changes in our life to make our world a better place.
Beside of that I actively participate in social, cultural, ecological and political (from below) life of Amsterdam. Mainly I'm busy with Positivenest, SWOMP, KSU but also many others. How You can notice, above that my goal in life that's making this world a better place for me, for my family, for all of us. The tool to achieve that and also another passion of my life are positive massage and media which I'm trying to use in any possible way :by book, www, video, radio, posters, music but also by my look like and my life profile (?) This all activism and voluntary I could not do it for You if I would not have possibility to life "for free" on squats, if I would not have possibility of using all this "squatters infrastructur", this all free, not commercial places as for example OCCII, Vrankrijk, Zaal 100, OT301, Positivenest, Eigenardig, Joes Garage, Plantage Doklan and many, many others. I would not have possibility of be a volunteer if not all of You squatters, who are making this so great movement. Squatting that my free choice for life and my next passion. That's my activism which become a part of my life. That's my fight for roof above head affordable for all of us as one of the basic human rights. That's my way of taking from rich from their excess and using it in better, more needed way. That's my way for finding that time for my family, for doing things what are more important that making money and collecting material things. That's My conscious and free choice.
My dream is that not only my flat would become activism but also my work would become activism either. At the moment to make money (for organic food for my family and for my activism too Hahaha!) I'm working on the bike taxi. Its OK, but just OK.
I'm dreaming about work, what would be more meaningful. My dream is that my activism would become my paid work, then I could give whole myself to make the world a better place. Maybe could You help me in that ??? Thanks !

Stuur de Israelische legerwoordvoerder naar het Internationaal Strafhof!

Roelof Hartplein 1, Amsterdam
Zondagavond 22 februari houdt de Israelische legerwoordvoerder Ron Edelheit in Amsterdam een lezing. Edelheit was één van de Israëlische legerwoordvoerders tijdens de 22-daagse slachting in de Gazastrook. Edelheit spreekt onder de titel 'Na de Gaza oorlog: wat nu?' in een propagandabijeenkomst voor Israel en het Israëlische leger.
Als op een cultureel avondje zal wel aan de orde komen dat oorlogvoeren ook lang niet eenvoudig is; het levert vast veel werkstress op. De Palestijnen in de Gazastrook herdenken ondertussen - zonder reismogelijkheden - hun ruim 1300 doden en ruim 5000 gewonden tussen het puin van 20.000 verwoeste huizen en een verwoeste infrastructuur.
- Wij protesteren fel tegen de komst van een Israelische legerwoordvoerder om PR te bedrijven waarin de door Israel aangerichte verwoesting, dood en verderf wordt goedgepraat
- Wij eisen berechting van alle verantwoordelijken voor deze misdaden
- Wij eisen dat de blokkade van de Gazastrook onmiddellijk wordt opgeheven

Hulp KSU's nodig bij verspreiden Witboek.
Zoals jullie hopelijk weten is enkele weken geleden het Witboek Kraken gepresenteerd.
Cover WitboekKRAKEN
De reden om het boek te maken is om de publieke opinie rond kraken te verbeteren en te voorkomen dat de kraakwet zoals onlangs ingediend wordt aangenomen. Wij hopen dan ook dat er zoveel mogelijk boeken in de verschillende gemeentes/stadsdelen bij de commissievergaderingen van Volkshuisvesting aan de betreffende wethouders overhandigd worden.
Echter, dit kunnen en willen we niet zelf doen en daarom vragen wij jullie, de kraakspreekuren van Nederland, om in jullie eigen gemeente een boek willen aan te bieden aan de Wethouders. En, zo mogelijk, andere kraakgroepen in het land aan te sporen om dit ook in andere gemeentes te doen. De hulp van de kraakspreekuren is erg belangrijk omdat het voor ons onmogelijk is om in al die gemeenten zelf het boek aan te bieden.
Daarnaast zijn de lokale KSU's en kraakgroepen nou eenmaal veel beter in het aanvoelen van de finesses van de lokale politiek om het juiste moment te bepalen en om de lokale pers te mobiliseren.
Als jullie gaan inspreken of anderszins het boek willen aanbieden, neem dan contact met ons op via onderstaand e-mailadres en dan sturen wij de benodigde hoeveelheid boeken op.

Solidarity with the indymedia in Greece
The distribution of ideas...Can't be strangled! Can't be repressed!
During the revolt in December, pressure and attacks against the 2 existing Indymedia sites (Athens and Patras) reached a peak.
With ridiculous questions during the Greek Parliament sessions from members of parliament belonging to a fascist political party, slanderous rumours and sneaky publications even from the Greek Communists Party official newspaper, as well as other daily newspapers, the State has activated its plans of shutting down Indymedia, a website of direct information used by socio-political movements and internet meeting point for thousands of people sharing their thoughts and actions, creating and organising a site of free expression and resistance against Capitalism and State agendas epitomized in the motto "profits above people".
Let them all know that Indymedia is outside their sphere of authority and control, it belongs to those voices suppressed and gagged by their system, it's far away from their logic and morality. It is ours and will stay alive for as long as we need it to change this world.
Solidarity with Mexican political prisoners call for action
Call for a action day for the political prisoners of the Mag
Call for a action day for the political prisoners of the Magonist zapatist Alliance and a message to send to Mexican institutions to ask for the freedom of AMZ and mexican political prisoners.
In english, spanish and italian
[05-02-2009] Call for a action day for the political prisoners of the Magonist zapatist Alliance
To the civil society organizations
To the peoples of the world
To the alternative media of dignified information
To all solidal and good-hearted people
On Saturday, January 31, at 6:00 p.m. a heavily armed commando unit of the Oaxaca state police went into the San Pedro Pochutla prison and took our indigenous comrade and political prisoner Abraham Ramírez Vásquez away in a white van with no license plates to an unknown address.
Abraham and two other indigenous men, Juventino and Noel García Cruz, have been held prisoner since January 15, 2005, under the direct orders of the murderer Ulises Ruiz Ortiz (URO). Our comrades’ crime was defending their forests and their traditional practices and customs.
For more than 4 years, the URO government has been unable to prove that they committed the crimes they are accused of, and accordingly, they have not been sentenced. Our comrades are members of the Committee for the Defense of Indigenous Rights (CODEDI) of Santiago Xanica, a member organization of the Magonista-Zapatista Alliance (AMZ), the Popular Assembly of the Peoples of Oaxaca (APPO), and adherent to the Other Campaign.
It’s important to note that Abraham Ramírez is a man of deep libertarian and human convictions, which have motivated him more than once, even from inside the prison, to struggle against the prison authorities for prisoners’ rights.
During all these years, Abraham has stayed in contact and written letters encouraging the people of Oaxaca to resist and not to allow their dignity to be trampled on by the killer who misgoverns this state. Prison bars have not been able to silence his rebellious voice, and he and theother two comrades held prisoner with him have sent letters and greetings to several different events initiated by the Other Campaign.
Abraham is also directly involved in the organization of a popular kitchen inside the Pochutla prison due to the fact that the prisoners have no dining room in this prison. This activity has lead to harassment, hostility, and acts of aggression against him by prison authorities.
The man to be held responsible for these aggressions is the director of the penitentiary, Juan Noel Ramirez Medina, who directly followed the orders of URO.
Thanks to a call that Abraham claimed to do himself, sunday the 1st of February at twelve we were told that our comrade was in Miahuatlan jail, in Oaxaca. This jail is mostly full of prisoners connected to the narcotraffic. We know that some of these prisoners got order to harrass, molest and intimidate our comrade Abraham.
WE CALL:
We call to the people of Mexico, to the civil society organizations, to the peoples of the world, to all solidal and good-hearted people for the organization of a:
DAY OF INFORMATION AND SOLIDARITY FOR THE FREEDOM OF THE POLITICAL PRISONERS OF THE MAGONIST ZAPATIST ALLIANCE AND OF MEXICO
These days can be either counter-information days or action days for the pressing on public opinion: what to do is a choice of whom wants to solidarize with this struggle.
We ask you to call and write to the (bad) institutions asking for freedom for our comrades from AMZ: Abraham Ramirez Vasquez, Juventino GarciaCruz, Noel Garcia Cruz, writing down every name so that each of them knows that they are not alone, we are not alone and we struggle day afterday for their freedom.

We heard the news of the violation of human rights by the illegitimate government of Ulises Ruiz Ortiz towards members and communities of the Xanica Committee for the Defence of Indigenous Rights (Comité por la Defensa de los Derechos Indígenas de Santiago Xanica , CODEDI – XANICA) through menaces, persecutions and isolation, unjustified relocations of the prisoners and aggressions, mostly towards:
Abraham Ramírez Vásquez, Noel García Cruz y Juventino García Cruz
political prisoners since january 2005.
We strongly reccomend that Abraham Ramírez Vásquez moves back to Pochutla penitentiary, because he has the right to see his family and he is not a dangerous criminal but a political prisoner.
We also think that the director of Pochutla penitentiary, Juan Noel Ramírez Medina, must be removed from his office being a direct actor of this human rights violation, carried out towards Abraham Ramírez Vásquez, Noel García Cruz e Juventino García Cruz.
We are worried about this situation, it represents an escalation of violence towards all members of CODEDI – XANICA.
Hoping that this attacks to human rights of indigenous people of Xanica stop, and that this state of impunity comes to an end, we will keep attention to every future event.

Call for a action day for the political prisoners of the Magonist zapatist Alliance and a message to send to Mexican institutions to ask for the freedom of AMZ and mexican political prisoners.
In english, spanish and italian
[05-02-2009] Call for a action day for the political prisoners of the Magonist zapatist Alliance
To the civil society organizations
To the peoples of the world
To the alternative media of dignified information
To all solidal and good-hearted people
On Saturday, January 31, at 6:00 p.m. a heavily armed commando unit of the Oaxaca state police went into the San Pedro Pochutla prison and took our indigenous comrade and political prisoner Abraham Ramírez Vásquez away in a white van with no license plates to an unknown address.
Abraham and two other indigenous men, Juventino and Noel García Cruz, have been held prisoner since January 15, 2005, under the direct orders of the murderer Ulises Ruiz Ortiz (URO). Our comrades’ crime was defending their forests and their traditional practices and customs.
For more than 4 years, the URO government has been unable to prove that they committed the crimes they are accused of, and accordingly, they have not been sentenced. Our comrades are members of the Committee for the Defense of Indigenous Rights (CODEDI) of Santiago Xanica, a member organization of the Magonista-Zapatista Alliance (AMZ), the Popular Assembly of the Peoples of Oaxaca (APPO), and adherent to the Other Campaign.
It’s important to note that Abraham Ramírez is a man of deep libertarian and human convictions, which have motivated him more than once, even from inside the prison, to struggle against the prison authorities for prisoners’ rights.
During all these years, Abraham has stayed in contact and written letters encouraging the people of Oaxaca to resist and not to allow their dignity to be trampled on by the killer who misgoverns this state. Prison bars have not been able to silence his rebellious voice, and he and theother two comrades held prisoner with him have sent letters and greetings to several different events initiated by the Other Campaign.
Abraham is also directly involved in the organization of a popular kitchen inside the Pochutla prison due to the fact that the prisoners have no dining room in this prison. This activity has lead to harassment, hostility, and acts of aggression against him by prison authorities.
The man to be held responsible for these aggressions is the director of the penitentiary, Juan Noel Ramirez Medina, who directly followed the orders of URO.
Thanks to a call that Abraham claimed to do himself, sunday the 1st of February at twelve we were told that our comrade was in Miahuatlan jail, in Oaxaca. This jail is mostly full of prisoners connected to the narcotraffic. We know that some of these prisoners got order to harrass, molest and intimidate our comrade Abraham.
WE CALL:
We call to the people of Mexico, to the civil society organizations, to the peoples of the world, to all solidal and good-hearted people for the organization of a:
DAY OF INFORMATION AND SOLIDARITY FOR THE FREEDOM OF THE POLITICAL PRISONERS OF THE MAGONIST ZAPATIST ALLIANCE AND OF MEXICO
These days can be either counter-information days or action days for the pressing on public opinion: what to do is a choice of whom wants to solidarize with this struggle.
We ask you to call and write to the (bad) institutions asking for freedom for our comrades from AMZ: Abraham Ramirez Vasquez, Juventino GarciaCruz, Noel Garcia Cruz, writing down every name so that each of them knows that they are not alone, we are not alone and we struggle day afterday for their freedom.

21 Februari anti-racisme demo in Zoetermeer

Demonstratie tegen racisme en extreem-rechts Zoetermeer
Wij roepen op om 21 februari in Zoetermeer te demonstreren tegen racisme en extreem-rechts. Stop racisme, geen vrijplaats voor nazi's!
Extreem-rechts partijen en groeperingen houden in Nederland regelmatig bijeenkomsten en demonstraties waar zij hun haat tegen alles wat anders is kunnen uiten. Dit is echter nog niet genoeg; gewelddadige groeperingen zoals de Nationaal-Socialistische Actie eisen ook dat de overheid ruimtes aan hen beschikbaar stelt waar zij ongestoord bijeen kunnen komen. Ook in de gemeente Zoetermeer eisen nazistische jongeren een dergelijke ontmoetingsplaats. Zoetermeer heeft jarenlang overlast gekend van extreem-rechts jongeren, een plek waar zij bij elkaar kunnen komen om zichzelf te organiseren zal dit soort problematiek alleen maar vergroten. Dit geldt uiteraard niet alleen voor Zoetermeer, maar ook voor andere plaatsen waar extreem-rechtse jongeren bij elkaar komen.
Het is echter belangrijk om niet te vergeten dat extreem-rechts niet alleen staat, op verschillende plaatsen in de samenleving vinden we racisme en discriminatie. Zelfs in de Tweede kamer zitten personen en partijen die onderscheid maken tussen mensen op grond van hun zogenaamde culturele afkomst of het land waarin ze toevallig geboren zijn. Mensen met hun roots in een Islamitisch land worden openlijk gediscrimineerd. Ook dit kunnen we niet stilzwijgend langs ons heen laten gaan.
Het is ontzettend belangrijk om te blijven benadrukken wat wij niet willen leven in een maatschappij die mensen onderverdeeld in rassen, zogenaamde "culturen", land van herkomst, gender of seksuele geaardheid. Dit zijn etiketten die gebruikt worden om mensen in groepjes op te delen en te discrimineren. Het is en blijft belangrijk om niet stilzwijgend toe te kijken, maar om overal te laten merken dat wij een solidaire samenleving willen waarin iedereen gelijk is.
De wereld is van iedereen!

anarcho sindicalisme in praktijk
De Anarchistische Groep Amsterdam/de Vrije Bond heeft contact met de anarcho sindicalistische vakbond ZSP in polen, waar de getrofen arbeider lid van is. Wij zijn op dit moment bezig een dossier aan te leggen en meer informatie te verzamelen, zodat we direct de juiste verantwoordelijke bij de strot kunnen vatten die poen verdienen aan deze walgelijke praktijken.
Hier alvast een snelle vertaling van de bovenstaande tekst.
We zullen jullie op de hoogte houden van de situatie, en zullen oproepen tot solidariteit en directe actie.
Je kan natuurlijk zelf ook je ongenoegen laten blijken door contact op te nemen met de genoemde bedrijven.
"an injury to one is an injury to all"
de vertaalde tekst:
Zaczek – Bond van syndicalisten uit Polen
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Op 12 december 2008 heeft onze kamaraad Michal een contract getekend met bij het uitzendbureau Groen Flex in Opole, Polen om te gaan werken bij Eurocontract Zeeland B.V met hun hoofdvestiging in Goes. Het contract was voor een periode van 78 weken om groente te sorteren in kassen.
Het Poolse en Nederlandse contract garandeerde ziektekosteverzekering met ingang van 15 december 2008.
15 December begon hij te werken in de haven van Vlissingen. Het bleek dat hij was aangenomen op scheepswerf in plaats van groenten sorteren!
Hij begon toch te werken, ondanks dat hij geen enkele veiligheidstraining kreeg, geen nederlands of engels sprak, en dus geen enkel waarschuwingsbord kon lezen.
Hij werd gedwongen te werken zonder beschermend masker, schepen schoonmaken in Middelburg. Na te zijn bloodgesteld aan verschillende stoffen in het schip raakte Michal buiten bewustzijn en werd naar het ziekenhuis in Vlissingen gebracht, afdeling cardeologie.
De bazen werden op de hoogte gesteld van de gebeurtenissen, maar niemand kwam hem opzoeken in het ziekenhuis. De enige reden dat hij kon communiceren met de doctoren was een in Nederland wonende Pool. Na 24 uur werd Michal ontslagen uit het ziekenhuis. Maar hij bleek geen werk meer te hebben, na slechts 6 dagen te hebben gewerkt van het contract van 78 weken!
Zijn werkgevers vertelde hem dat alles ok was met de ziekenhuisrekening doordat hij verzekerd was. Op 9 januari ging hij terug naar Polen.
Terug in Polen bleek dat hij niet verzekerd was door het bedijf. De rekening van € 2316,5 voor medische bijstand werd naar zijn huisadres gestuurd.
Europ Assistance Polska Sp.z.o.o, die de zaken waarneemd voor S.T.U Hestia S.A meldde Michal dat zij de kosten voor de behandling niet kunnen terugbetalen. Het bleek dat het bedrijf zijn ziektekosten niet had betaald tijdens zijn verblijf in Nederland. Michal belde Groen Flex voor opheldering over deze zaak. Zij vertelde hem hierop dat Groen Flex niets te maken heeft met Eurocontract (ookal vertegenwoordigen ze dat bedrijf in Polen) en dat hij maar een rechtzaak moet aanspannen als hij wil.
Groen Flex krijgt geld van de Poolse staat om werkloosheid te bevechten en adverteerd in staats arbeidsbureaus.
Het adres van het Nederlandse bedrijf: Eurocontract Zeeland B.V, 4462 JM Goes, Stationpark 29 E
info in het pools:
http://zsp.net.pl/aktualnosci E-Mail: aga(A)squat.net Website: http://agamsterdam.wordpress.com Op de site van groenflex ( http://www.groenflex.nl) staat ook het logo van eurocontract boven elke pagina. Op hun "Wie zijn wij?" pagina staan namen en foto's van werknemers van groenflex en van eurocontract. En op hun contactpagina staan de contactgegevens van wederom zowel groenflex als eurocontract. De claim dat groenflex en eurocontract weinig met elkaar te maken zouden hebben is dus gewoon niet waar. Ze zijn duidelijk alleen in naam twee bedrijven.

Afa blokkeert Voorpost in Delft
Vandaag voert de Anti-Fascistische Actie in Delft actie tegen een bijeenkomst georganiseerd door de extreem-rechtse organisatie Voorpost.
Voorpost wil in Delft een bijeenkomst houden waar gesproken zou worden over hun ideeen met betrekking tot drugs en hun aankomende acties zoals hun demonstratie in Maastricht 1 maart.
14:40 30 a 35 mensen blokkeren de ruimte waar de bijeenkomst plaatsvind.
14:55 er zijn net 5 agenten gearriveerd.
Voorpost is een nationalistische actiegroep die probeert zich veel netter voor te doen dan menig andere extreem-rechtse club. Voorpost is echter een extremistische en gewelddadige organisatie; Voorpost kwam afgelopen jaar vooral in het nieuws toen leden van de net opgerichte afdeling Flevoland werden gearresteerd na een aantal pogingen tot brandstichting in onder andere een islamitische winkel, een synagoge en twee kraakpanden. Eén van de kraakpanden brandde tot de grond toe af.
Een andere opmerkelijk actie komt van de hand van Paul Peters, de "actieleider" van Voorpost. Hij bekladde eind april 2001 joodse graven met swastika's en testen als "Juden raus".
Van oorsprong is Voorpost een Vlaamse organisatie die Nederlanders en Vlamingen wil verenigen in één staat. Ook ijvert men voor eerherstel van Vlaamse collaborateurs die tijdens de Tweede Wereldoorlog samen met de nazi's aan het Oostfront vochten. Voorpost is extreem nationalistisch en ageert tegen alles wat in hun ogen niet Nederlands genoeg is. Kopstukken binnen Voorpost Nederland komen onder andere uit de verboden partij CP'86 en de neo-nazi club Stormfront Nederland. In Vlaanderen onderhoudt Voorpost nauwe banden met het Vlaams Belang.

Polish worker exploited by "Groene Flex" bedrijv
Hi comrades,
Here is a very sad story of one of our friends, who was badly
exploited by a Dutch company Eurocontract and their Polish partner
Groen Flex. He felt ill because of the working conditions and the
company who hired him didn't pay his health insurance, as they should.
Now, not only is he without work, but he has to pay the medical costs
of 2318,50 Euro.
We are looking for ways to force the company to compensate him.
More details below. I am sending this to AGA too.

Our comrade Michal has signed a contract with a temp worker agency
called Groen Flex in Opole in Poland on December 12th, 2008 in order to work at
Eurocontract Zeeland B.Vz with headquarters in Goes. The contract was
for a period of 78 weeks for work in greenhouses, sorting vegetables.
The Polish and Dutch contract guaranteed health insurance starting on
December 15th.
He started working in the Netherlands on December 15th in the port of
Vlissingen. It
turned out that he was employed on a shipyard construction site
instead of sorting vegetables! But he started to work anyway, despite
the fact that he didn't receive any safety training and didn't know
English or Dutch, so he couldn't read the warning signs. He was forced
to work without protective masks cleaning ships in Middeelburg. After
exposure to the different substances in the ship he lost consciousness
and was taken to the hospital, to the cardiology department in
Vlissingen.
The bosses were notified of the event, but no one came to visit him in
the hospital. He was able to communicate with the doctors only thanks
to a Pole living in Holland. After 24 hours he was let out of the
hospital. He found himself without any more work, having worked only 6
days out of the period signed in the contract of 78 weeks! His
employers informed him that everything is ok with the hospital bill,
because he is insured. He left for Poland on January 9th.
Back in Poland, it turned out that he wasn't insured by the company.
The bill for the medical assistance of 2318,50 Euro was sent to his
home address.
Europ Assistance Polska Sp.z.o.o acting on behalf of the insurance
company S.T.U Hestia S.A informed him that they cannot refund his
treatement. It turned out that the company wasn't paying his insurance
during his stay in Holland. He called Groen Flex to clarify the issue.
They informed him that Groen Flex has nothing to do with Eurocontract
(even though they represent the company in Poland) and that he can go
to court if he wishes.
Groen Flex receives money from the Polish state to combat unemployment and
advertises in the state employment offices.
The address of the Dutch company: Eurocontract Zeeland B.V, 4462 JM GOES,
Stationspark 29 E.
Here is a very sad story of one of our friends, who was badly
exploited by a Dutch company Eurocontract and their Polish partner
Groen Flex. He felt ill because of the working conditions and the
company who hired him didn't pay his health insurance, as they should.
Now, not only is he without work, but he has to pay the medical costs
of 2318,50 Euro.
We are looking for ways to force the company to compensate him.
