1968Best.-Nr. List3514New York: The Resistance 1968. Single sided flyer 8 ½ x 11 fine condition. Fine. A flyer for a protest at the Newark Selective Service Building organized by The Resistance on May 6 1968. The bulk of the flyer reproduces the poem “I sing of Olaf glad and big” by e.e. cummings a poem themed around a conscientious objector. The flyer printed by The Resistance describes C.J. Hinke’s public refusal to register. Hinke was known for documenting and supporting conscientious objectors promoting nonviolent resistance and connecting American antiwar activism to global pacifist networks. The Newark action reflected strategies that aligned closely with his outlook: refusal of military service public challenge to conscription systems and solidarity with those facing prosecution for draft resistance.

1993Best.-Nr. 43370Berlin: Gedenkstätte Deutscher Widerstand 1993. 1st edition. Original photographic paper wrappers 8vo 192 pages. Includes illustrations. 22 cm. In German. Title translates as "Resistance in Wilmersdorf a neighborhood in Berlin. A Series on the Resistance in Berlin from 1933-1945. Part 7.” Includes bibliographical references pages 174-182 and indexes. ISBN: 3926082038; 9783926082039 “In her 192-page book “Resistance in Wilmersdorf".Felicitas Bothe-von-Richthofen documents the many acts people were able to undertake against a criminal social system. The chapter 'Unsung Heroes' recounts the stories of Berliners who hid refugees: '.and the many who came under the code name 'Black' who stayed with me for one or more nights or received other assistance because as undocumented immigrants they had no ration cards. They all needed clothing. Sometimes they came simply to wash the clothes they were wearing and to wash themselves.' Ms. Blochwitz known by the code name 'Black' helped many refugees. But she was not alone; in Berlin approximately 1400 people who found shelter with private individuals survived the Nazi terror. In Wilmersdorf the artists' colony at Laubenheimer Platz today: Ludwig-Barnay-Platz was considered a place of politically conscious confrontation with fascism. The 'Professional Association of German Stage Performers' and the 'Professional Association of German Writers' built three apartment blocks for their members in the late 1920s. By the spring of 1933 over 300 artists and left-wing intellectuals lived there including Ernst Bloch and Johannes R. Becher . Nazi jargon for this residential area was the 'Red Block.' To protect themselves from SA members the artists organized a self-defense force. Solidarity within the artists' colony soon came to an end after January 30 1933 and many residents fled into exile. Flight is certainly not the most extreme form of protest. Hildegard Henschel the wife of the last chairman of the Jewish community in Berlin during the Nazi era observed the deportation of the first Jews from the Grunewald S-Bahn and freight station in October 1941: 'SS officers some equipped with riding whips supervised the loading of the cars. The victims’ composure was admirable; everyone knew that resistance was impossible the only possible form of defiance was suicide. But if suicide failed it later led to accelerated evacuation.’” Translated from the German.

The President-elect of the NCRI is Maryam Rajavi. The NCRI is also co-chaired by Massoud Rajavi. He has not made any public appearances since the 2003 invasion of Iraq. The NCRI has been a controversial subject for economical-political exchange dialogues between the Iranian government the European Union and the United States on several occasions and considerable controversy surrounds the issues of whether the NCRI is merely a front group for the MEK whether the NCRI is involved in terrorism or whether it is "a legitimate dissident organization fighting for democracy in Iran." On 20 February 2008 in a press conference in Brussels NCRI claimed the existence of a clandestine nuclear site in Tehran." National Council of Resistance of Iran-Foreign Affairs Committee paperback

1984Best.-Nr. 238831984. Mexican agrarian revolution and Indigenous resistance periodical archive 1984 to 1994 tracing the place of Emiliano Zapata and Indigenous political struggles within American anarchist publishing from the Reagan era through the 1994 Zapatista uprising in Chiapas. Two issues of Southern California's A New Iron Column place Mexican revolutionary history and contemporary Indigenous activism within an international anti-authoritarian program including an issue whose cover memorializes Zapata beneath the slogan "TIERRA Y LIBERTAD" and identifies him as "Heroic Mexican Revolutionary." A decade later the premiere issue of Minneapolis anarchist newspaper The Blast! responds directly to the January 1994 uprising of the Ejército Zapatista de Liberación Nacional leading its front page with "ZAPATA'S REVENGE" and "CHIAPAS: A PEOPLE BORN DIGNIFIED & REBELLIOUS." The sequence documents how Zapata's political image the language of land and liberty and struggles over Indigenous autonomy circulated through American anarchist print networks before and immediately after the EZLN brought Chiapas into international radical politics. Contemporary accounts identify the Creative Anarchists Networks behind A New Iron Column as active in Native support work while institutional holdings characterize the periodical as containing material on Indigenous struggles. A New Iron Column and The Blast! Southern California and Minneapolis 1984 to 1994. Three issues illustrated throughout in black and white with The Blast! printed in black and blue. 1 Creative Anarchists. A New Iron Guard later A New Iron Column. No. II. Southern California 1984. Published as "A Black Banner publication of the Creative Anarchists of America." The cover depicts the execution of Catalan educator and freethinker Francisco Ferrer after the Barcelona uprising of July 1909 while the contents range across "Chile's Painful Realities" "The Mohawk Indians" Emma Goldman prison politics antiwar writing children's rights and a letter from the Sigma Anarchist Group of Warsaw. The editors describe their project as addressing "the meaning of Anarchy and the logic for advocating it" alongside historical commentary poetry political comics and international correspondence. 2 Creative Anarchists Networks. A New Iron Column. No. IV. Anaheim California 1985. Cover devoted to Emiliano Zapata 1879 to 1919 with the revolutionary leader and armed campesinos above a volcanic landscape and the large inscription "TIERRA Y LIBERTAD." The issue identifies itself as "A BLACK BANNER PUBLICATION OF THE CREATIVE ANARCHISTS NETWORKS" and surrounds the Zapata image with "WAR CRIMES: EL SALVADOR" "IRA POW CAMPAIGN" "A TRIBAL ACCORD" "TERRORIST CIA MANUAL" "MARION LOCKDOWN" and "ANARCHY AND COMMUNISM." Its contents include "Zapata of Mexico" "Punk and Anarchy in the U.K." "Revolution" "Irish Republican P.O.W. Campaign" "War Crimes In El Salvador" "Terrorist C.I.A. Manual" "Anarchy and Communism" and "A Struggle." A contemporary Fifth Estate notice records that the publication changed its name from New Iron Guard to Iron Column after editors were alerted to the name's association with the Romanian fascist Iron Guard explicitly linking the replacement name to the anarchist Iron Column of the Spanish Revolution. 3 Agitator Index Collective. The Blast! Premiere Issue. Minneapolis Minnesota April/May 1994. Front page dominated by "ZAPATA'S REVENGE" and "CHIAPAS: A PEOPLE BORN DIGNIFIED & REBELLIOUS" alongside articles on the Minnesota Eight anarchism and Black revolution the federal crime bill Twin Cities hip hop and population politics. Inside the paper identifies itself as a nonprofit political newspaper produced by the Agitator Index Collective and carries Kieran Knutson's "The State of Minnesota Vs. The Anti Racist Movement." The Agitator Index Collective belonged to the Love and Rage Revolutionary Anarchist Federation and The Blast! was founded by former members of the Profane Existence Collective. Its first issue appeared in 1994 with coverage of the Zapatista uprising while subsequent issues continued reporting on the EZLN and Chiapas. A New Iron Column invokes Zapata during the 1980s alongside contemporary Native struggles Central American war political prisoners and international anarchist movements treating the Mexican Revolution as part of a continuing politics of land state power and anti-authoritarian resistance. The 1994 Blast! appeared only months after the EZLN emerged publicly on January 1 in Chiapas where its rebellion centered Indigenous communities and demands concerning land political participation autonomy and the consequences of Mexican state policy. Its headline "ZAPATA'S REVENGE" explicitly joins the contemporary rebellion to the memory of Zapata while "A PEOPLE BORN DIGNIFIED & REBELLIOUS" frames Chiapas through the political agency of its population rather than as a distant revolutionary spectacle. The Blast! continued covering the EZLN after this premiere issue confirming that Chiapas formed part of the newspaper's sustained international reporting rather than a single topical headline. Some toning and handling wear with folds and minor edge wear visible; A New Iron Column issues staple bound The Blast! folded as issued. Overall very good condition. A three issue record of Zapata's political afterlife in United States anarchist publishing moving from 1980s representations of Mexican agrarian revolution and Indigenous resistance to an immediate anarchist response to the Indigenous led Zapatista uprising in Chiapas in 1994. unknown books
