Radio Utopie

Editor‘s Note: While there is a lot to be desired in terms of mainstream social media, there are gems to be found for those interested in social justice and human rights. One such activist is France‘s Pascal Uccelli, artist and editor of the l‘ecriture sans calmants blog. I asked him a few questions via eMail about the active rolling revolution for democracy in Africa and Arabia, the current state of political unrest in the European Union and, will the Internet truly change the world for the better?

Many thanks to Bro. Uccelli for participating in this interview. If you know of someone who would make a good subject for an interview with APNS let us know @ aboriginalnewsgroup + Gmail.

1- What is your opinion as a European concerning the protest occurring in the Arab world?

I am a Muslim now, since February the 9th. My decision is not a measure of style; can we speak of fad, of “domino effect”? No, we can’t. The root of my love for the Muslim world, its religion, its density, its truth, its sufferings, its brotherhood, its modesty, its courage, its determination, its unity, is sincere. I don’t like the word “domino effect.” I prefer “Arab nationalism.”

It concentrates the fertiliser of Arab revolts.

I am not surprised by the revolutions in the Arab world. They highlight the feverishness of Europe driven away from enthusiasm. Europe is mirroring cowardice and colonisation; Islamophobia is the daily bread of power. This Europe, changed into a bunker is a danger. The future of Europe depends on the mix of cultures, colours. Europe abandoned its rural areas, it promoted agricultural abandonment which lead to the dramatic aftermath in the economy that we witness. It has promoted for years expansion of Islamophobia and confirmed with unreason, the quiddity of a shameless and deplorable racism.

The rise of European right-wing extremism is sadly reported. Especially in France, where those in power are chasing the immigrants restlessly, in the name of protection of its “locals,” of its secularism, where the police kill with impunity, where the regime feeds isolation, torture and suicide on its streets and in its prisons. France is this whore supporting dictators. This whore, who has always supported Zionism, has always scorned the Arab world. Its silence, the silence of Europe and on a larger scale, of the global community on the situation in Palestine, a country savagely attacked by the Zionist invader, is a crime against humanity.

We must never forget Europe’s indifference and the global community’s scorn for the Palestinian NATION. We must never forget these dead Palestinian children, all these families raped by the bulldozers’ song; we must never forget these houses destroyed day after day. We must never forget this country, Palestine, delivered to terrorists because supporting Zionist excrement is the barbaric choice of the global community, a partner of this genocide.

Let’s not forget Bigeard and Aussaresses, these two bastards. Let’s not forget torture, let’s not forget the Algerian war and “Bigeard’s shrimps.” – [„Crevettes Bigeard“].

Let’s not forget Afghanistan, plundered by Otan in the name of a hypocritical, anti-terrorist war. This “war against terror” simmering since the 11th of September 2001 is unbearable.

Let’s not forget wiped out Iraq. Let’s never forget this lie. This terrorist hard-on of Uncle Sam.

Let’s not forget “Tsahal”, “Mossad” let’s not forget these crime’s temples.

Let’s not forget white phosphorus, let’s never forget Gaza, castrated in the name of terrorism under agreement.

Let’s not forget these cowards lost in their sanity. These cowards able to condemn on the one side the rise of cancer for Serbs coming from Otan shellings, and to follow up barbarities of the coalition in Afghanistan.

Are cancerous Serbs tasting better ?

Let’s not forget Larbi Ben M‘hidi’s words:

“You speak about France from Dunkirk to Tamanrasset; I foresee Algeria from Tamanrasset to Dunkirk. You want French Algeria, I foresee Algerian France.”

– [„Vous parlez de la France de Dunkerque à Tamanrasset, je vous prédis l‘Algérie de Tamanrasset à Dunkerque. Vous voulez l‘Algérie française et moi je vous annonce la France algérienne.“].

Let’s not forget to resist.

But can we speak about “Revolution in the Arab world” without a free Palestine? No we can’t. A Muslim world will never be meaningful without a sovereign Palestine. Palestine is not a by-product.

2- Many Europeans feel that now they are also the direct victims of capitalist exploitation via the IMF and the World Bank. Will the events occurring in Africa and the Arab world have an effect on European resistance to economic instability?

« IMF » and « World Bank » are criminals. Economic instability is a bourgeois term, the rich always takes time to sweeten the wound, the corpse has to be presented lying with an “iPad” at the neck. But a corpse without the pain of its route has no value. And Europe today has no more value.

Misery is not Arab, misery is not African, misery is not French, Spanish, European, misery is bloody.

Misery is in the eyes of unemployed, of an abandoned old man, frozen salaries, drained pensions.

Misery is in the eyes of the whore, of the addict, of the child soldier. Misery is in the eyes of destroyed Iraq, in the eyes of
invaded Afghanistan… misery is in the corridor of death, in the eyes of the hanged, of electrocuted and of the poisoned.

Misery is not only linked to economic instability. This bureaucratic vision does not cure.

Misery is in the eyes of Yemen, of Bahrain, of Libyans, of Africa. Misery is in the eyes of Baha’is, of religion wars, of NSF.

Misery is in the eyes of the suppressed gay, in the condemned “cult of freedom.”

Misery is in the eyes of the native Indian, in the eyes of a deported family, in the eyes of Gaza.

Misery is in the eyes of the worker, of the drunkard, of the suicide, of the seropositive, of the victim, in the eyes of ink, when it betrays the scar.

Misery is in the streets of Paris. Misery is in the fridges, on the tables. In the eyes of the stoned migrant, of the chased hijab, niqab and burqa.

Misery is in the eyes of chosen immigration, of national preference.

Misery is in our eyes. And the populace must rise, struggle and promote distribution of riches, equality and the union of cultures.

Of course, we have to associate Arab revolutions with economic instability, this “geostrategic” crisis promotes “geopolitical transformations” but increases the reluctance of the „economic recovery“, the increase of the crude barrel is an outstanding element, it is noxious for “consuming countries”.

But economy, instable or not, will always help the lobbies’ interests, of profit butchers, of “IMF” executioners and of the “World Bank.”. People know. They have to keep their colours. Resist lies. Resistance must stand in proud darkness.

3- Human rights is an important issue but not it seems to governments and the business interests they often represent. What can today’s activists do to reverse this trend?

Resist. Create “militias”. “Militias” of activists should infiltrate the city‘s community life. Inform. INFORMATION ALWAYS ALLOWS TO EXTEND FIELD OF ACTION. Information feeds reactivity, activism, RESISTANCE. Militias must work at the heart of communities. The hive needs momentum to undertake. Multiculturalism is essential. Survival of human rights is possible if it is fed outside governments and political interests.

4-What is the mood in Europe concerning the United States these days? Are people generally still supportive or have opinions changed?

Europe does not contest American “diplomacy” enough. Its opinions’ streams reinforces supremacy of a country, father of all genocides, of all corruptions, of all abuses, of all lies too often.

Supporting a nation where capital punishment is still enforced is a crime

Supporting a nation where power favours racial discrimination is a crime.

Supporting a nation where police is under your bed is a crime.

How not to be reminded of George Jackson, of „The Soledad Brothers“ when I say that…

Let’s remember his words for a moment:

“In the black colony, here, the cop keeps on beating us, maiming us. Sometimes, they kill us and it is called justified homicide. They murder us and call it “restore order.” A brother with a pipe in his waistband was killed by a bullet in his head.” “Cop is a vile, hateful animal; hell is what he deserves; nevertheless, he is only the rifle, an easily replaceable tool. The rifle must be destroyed; but destroying the rifle and sparing the rifle holding it would only relegate us in defensive action, in apathy and at the end in defeat.” “The animal holding the rifle who unleashed his hounds against us is a roughneck, never pleased; this Midas is changing whatever he touches into shit! Killing the cop would be of no use if we let the vulture acting by his side. Spare the hand holding the rifle, it will find something else. The Vietcong soldier attacked and destroyed soldiers and rifles, but it was not enough to solve his problem. If he could reach to factories and people owning and organising them, the war would be over in few months. Al the wars would be over. The bastards who pounced on the Vietnamese colony are the same who pounced on us. Their colours are various, although mainly white. They all have the same cultural (or anti-cultural) background, the same mentalities, and the same intentions: spare depression areas to serve as secondary markets and sources of cheap raw materials for American fascism.”.

– French version: [„Dans la colonie noire, ici, le flic continue de nous battre et de nous estropier. Ils nous tuent parfois et cela s’appelle : homicide justifié. Ils nous assassinent et appellent ça « rétablir l’ordre ». Un frère qui avait une pipe dans sa ceinture a été tué d’une balle dans la tête.“

„Le flic est un animal ignoble, haïssable, l’enfer est ce qu’il mérite ; cependant, il n’est qu’un instrument aisément remplaçable. Il n’est que le fusil, l’instrument, l’ustensile sans âme. Il faut détruire le fusil, mais détruire le fusil en épargnant le fusil qui le tient, ne ferait que nous reléguer dans l’action défensive, l’apathie et finalement la défaite.“ „L’animal qui tient le fusil et qui a lâché contre nous ses chiens est un dur à cuire, un vautour intraitable, rapace, qui se nourrit de nos coeurs. Assoiffé d’or, jamais satisfait, ce Midas change en merde tout ce qu’il touche ! Tuer le flic ne servira à rien si nous laissons le vautour agir de son côté. Épargne la main qui tient le fusil, elle trouvera autre chose. Le soldat vietcong a attaqué et détruit soldats et fusils, mais cela n’a pas suffi à résoudre son problème. S’il pouvait atteindre les usines et les gens qui les possèdent et les organisent, la guerre finirait en quelques mois. Toutes les guerres finiraient. Les salauds qui se sont jetés sur la colonie vietnamienne sont les mêmes qui se sont abattus sur nous. Il sont de toutes couleurs, quoique principalement blancs. Ils ont tous le même bagage culturel (ou anticulturel), la même mentalité et les mêmes intentions : préserver les aires de dépression comme marchés secondaires et sources de matières premières à bon marché pour le fascisme amérikain.“].

Supporting a nation without hesitation in invading and destroying other countries, slaughtering civilians, raping women and children in the name of antiterrorist struggle is a crime against humanity.

Supporting a nation which just vetoed a resolution intended to condemn “Jewish colonisation in Palestinian territories” is a crime against humanity. Europe must stay independent. Europe must burn American fishing nets. The United States is equivalent to a gillnet. When you can’t think anymore, when you can’t hear anymore, what can you do? Believe that Iraq had to be invaded and destroyed. Believe that Afghanistan had to be invaded and destroyed. Believe that Islam has to be invaded and destroyed. Legalise genocides. Arm the Zionist invader day after day.

Demonising Islam in the name of this American God and believe, day and night, that a terrorist is in your kitchen, on your desk, on your plane, your bus, your train, on your road, in your plate, in your condom. Today, terrorism is an American war machine supported by Europe. Europe chose the oppressor camp. Today, Europe is no more in a position to act for peace and human rights.

5-Final Question: Will the revolution be digitised?

Revolution must never leave the streets, never. Revolt must regain its breath in the bloodshed, the true one. The Web can’t bleed. The Web will never have its brain scattered, the Web is never transfused, the Web is never amputated, the Web is never tortured. The revolution lover is the pavement, not the keyboard.

Sisters and brothers savagely slain open on the roads. Revolution has to stay in the heart of the community and live standing, head held high, fists raised, with weapons and determination. Information, data can be “scanned.” But exchange, support, brotherhood, unity, resistance exist when their sufferings are mixed with the tar covering the city.

Tunisia is a social revolution, Egypt is a social revolution, Libya is a social revolution, Morocco, Algeria, Bahrain, Yemen. All these peoples‘ uprisings have the same motivation: employment, access to Health Care, education, accuracy in pay wages, social equality, and freedom. Iran is stuck in a political revolution. Iran wants to expel tyrants from power to replace them by other tyrants. The attempt of the Iranian revolution since 2009 is a failure, just as the 1979 Iranian revolution which delivered Iran to insane clerics.

Social revolution always prevails over political revolution. The Iranian resistance did not understand this.

The world seems surprised. But revolutions have always been present, they are social, political, “communist,” Islamic, “libertarian,” scientific, “techno-economic,” technical. The “carnations” revolution in 1974, [La révolution des „oeillets“] after the death of “Salazar dictature,” the “Cedar” revolution in 2005 in Lebanon, [la révolution du „Cèdre“], the “Saffron” revolution in 2007 in Burma, [la révolution de „Safran“] this one is concrete example of social revolution, borne from “energy rates increase“ : gas, petrol, diesel.

The Arab world has taken its responsibilities. The future is by its side. It will know how to escape the pitfalls of „obscurantism.“ Our turn to revolt against this Americanised and sodomised Europe, against hypocrisy and cowardice of the global community which allowed for decades dictators, criminals, organised mafias in North Africa and elsewhere to stay in power. It is necessary to note that Mouammar Kadhafi, the famous serial killer, was welcomed a few times in France, by another dictator and peasant convinced of Islamophobia: Nicolas Sarkozy. Commemoration of genocides between these two terrorist bitches.
