Wir haben die Schnauze voll von einer Bundesregierung, die das
Leben von Millionen Menschen, viele in prekären Lebenslagen,
weiter verschlechtert, während Reiche und Konzerne geschont
werden. Wir erleben eine systematische Umverteilung von unten
nach oben. Dieser Angriff auf den Sozialstaat wird begleitet von
Hetze gegen Migrant*innen, Arme und vermeintlich "Faule”.
Den Preis dieser Politik zahlen die, die jeden Tag arbeiten, den
gesellschaftlichen Wohlstand schaffen, Rentner*innen und alle,
die auf Gelder im Sozialen angewiesen sind. Diese Kürzungspolitik
ist kein Sachzwang, sondern eine bewusste politische
Entscheidung zugunsten von Konzernen und Vermögenden und
gegen die Mehrheit der Bevölkerung. Während Milliarden für
Aufrüstung von der Schuldenbremse ausgenommen werden, wird
bei Gesundheit, Pflege, Familien und sozialer Sicherheit gekürzt.
Für Waffen ist Geld da, für unser Leben angeblich nicht. Es droht
eine massive Verschlechterung unserer Lebensbedingungen.
Die Angriffe reichen von Sozialabbau bis zum Rückbau von
Arbeitnehmer*innenrechten: Kürzungen beim Elterngeld und
Unterhaltsvorschuss, bei Integrationskursen, im Gesundheitsbereich
und der Rente, sowie bei zivilgesellschaftlichen
Organisationen, Bildungs- und Betreuungseinrichtungen.
Gleichzeitig wird der Acht-Stunden-Tag und die Lohnfortzahlung
im Krankheitsfall infrage gestellt. Die Liste der diskutierten
Maßnahmen ist endlos. Ihnen gemeinsam ist eine Arroganz
gegenüber allen Menschen, die mit hohen Lebenskosten,
steigenden Mieten und Reallohnverlusten täglich zu kämpfen
haben, die nicht wissen, wie sie die Rente in Würde verbringen
können und deren Gesundheit durch steigende Kosten
beeinträchtigt wird.
Wir nehmen den Besuch von Karin Prien (CDU),
Bundesministerin für Bildung, Familie, Senioren, Frauen und
Jugend zum Anlass, um gemeinsam auf die Straße zu gehen
und zu sagen: Nicht mit uns, wer Ärger bestellt bekommt
Ärger! Wir stellen uns gemeinsam gegen Kürzungen
und Sozialabbau.

My tape نه (no) on Brachliegen is shipping today, only 8 copies left. Released in solidairty with Federation of Anarchism Era: asranarshism.com Brachliegen will donate all profits generated from NO to SDS: Solidarity Detainee Support: shorturl.at/5tc56 brachliegentapes.bandcamp.com/album/no
Info sheet for the release. The cover (woodcutting of a medieval peasant chopping a king to pieces with an axe in black on red) is reproduced, plus this text:
The situation for people in Iran and Afghanistan is dire. Since the protests in Iran of 2022 have been suppressed by the government of the ’Islamic Republic’ and since the Taliban took over Afghanistan in 2021, western media have by large turned a blind eye to the situation in both countries. Anybody perceived as a threat by the respective regimes – women, LGBTQ+ people, non-religious or non-Islamic persons, anyone in any form of oppositions – is in great danger of losing their freedom or life. This doesn't mean that the fights for a free society and against political Islam in both countries have ended.
The Federation of Anarchism Era is a group that is active in both countries. They organize(d) local struggles both in Iran and Afghanistan, translate and distribute anarchist literature and publish news on its website and various social media channels. Since 2021 they managed to help the escape of several people from the reach of the Taliban. On the local level, members of the federation participated in the uprisings in Iran after the murder of Mahsa Amini in police custody in Iran. 
The groups organised in the Federation of Anarchism Era operate decentralised but united in the goal of fighting the fascist theocracies governing their respective countries. Internationalism, feminism, atheism and a pro-LGBTQ+ stance are indispensable parts of their struggle. 
Since the groups organised in the Federation of Anarchism are at this point able to sustain themselves, they have closed all donations. Any non-monetary support is welcome. Get in touch, inform yourself, become part of the struggle. This release is dedicated to the people keeping up the fight against oppression, its purpose is to inform about their struggle. The logo of the Federation of Anarchism Era has been reproduced with their kind permission.

Debord’s film, with its rejection of spectacle, resonates with the concept of noise as it obliterates signal, while the melancholic voices hint at Situationist ideas. Fiebig and Wallraf pay tribute by translating the film's themes into noise and sound collage to explore its oppositional nature.

Guy Debord’s 1952 film Hurlements en faveur de Sade is a radical work with no images and minimal sound, challenging the very definition of cinema. Its purpose was to create a “situation” in which the audience’s expectations were subverted, marking a potential endpoint for film as an artistic medium
