The anti-fascist combat sports tournament took place in Poznań, Poland

~ Czech Anarchist Federation members ~

“You give a front, back, shovel hook to the liver and then a strong low-kick” was one of the basic combinations that we drilled together with our comrades until we were completely crazy — the goal was to memorise it so much that if we woke each other up in the middle of the night , we would handle it completely automatically.

Barrett Brown - Hacktivist, Narcissist, Anonymous

From Anarchy Tube

How does someone introduce Barrett Brown? That's a really tough one because the personal, professional, and political stories play off each other in numerous ways. I would have to say that first of all, Barrett Brown is one of too few to survive a very intense era of anti-authoritarian activism and state repression. In addition, Brown is a survivor of the innumerable disappointments that I feel have had a big impact on the way things are now. He is someone who has comprehended the contemporary moment and has participated in its unfolding with the skills at his disposal and he is someone who has paid a big price for taking those risks. Naturally, his recently released book, "My Glorious Defeats: Hacktivist, Narcissist, Anonymous: A Memoir of Barrett Brown" is an excellent insight into what I just said and though I'm only on Chapter 5, it has been an enjoyable read.
