Withdraw! Why? Where to?

REARTIKULACIJA #7, 2009, DE-LINKING FROM CAPITAL AND THE COLONIAL MATRIX OF POWER, The Law of Capital: Histories of Oppression

In summer 2008, the Missile Defense Agreement was signed between the U.S./Polish and U.S/Czech governments to ensure, as it was termed, “our common security.”

On September 17th, 2009, U.S. President Barack Obama suspended the plans for placing missile interceptors in Poland and the radar base in Czech Republic. A new approach was announced that will provide capabilities sooner, built on proven systems and offer greater defenses against the threat of missile attack than the 2007 European missile defense program. The new system will deploy smaller SM-3 missiles, and will be, probably, placed somewhere in Southern Europe or Turkey.

The documentary, Hit-to-Kill, emphasizes political and strategic elements of the deployment of U.S. antimissile shield in Europe, entailing a dialogue between concepts such as security, global dominance, democracy, propaganda and resistance.

Manifiesto 27 de Octubre 2012/#ManiTrans

Avui, juntes, parlem les que habitualment som invisibilitzades: les persones trans, intersex, les migrants, les treballadores sexuals, les bolleres, els mariques, etc. Aquí estem per mostrar que existim, pensem, sentim, i que día a día deconstruïm el sistema de gènere i capitalista. Avui, juntes, volem fer una apologia de les alternatives que nosaltres mateixes creem i vivim, de les alternatives que al destruir el que ens oprimeix, ens fan gaudir.No esperem res d’aquest estat de dret i d’aquest sistema economic controlat per una élit per a satisfer les seves pròpies ambicions, un sistema que maquilla les injustícies i opressions per garantir la seva supervivència a costa nostra. Hem estat les oblidades de l’estat del benestar i som la primera línia de foc en un moment de retallades com l’actual. L’expoli de drets que estem patint es fa visible avui perquè ha caigut la cortina que l’ocultava, però no és nou. Per això sabem que el nostre futur està entre nosaltres, en les nostres xarxes de solidaritat i de lluita.

Hit-to-Kill: web documentary

The project Hit-to-Kill is set up in parallel with the dynamics of political negotiations and progress of the missile defense program, therefore it is designed as an open structure in continuous dialogue concerning the future changes and development of the related events on this issue.

The first edited version of the documentary outlines the period between the signature of the Missile Defense Agreement in Czech Republic and Poland in summer 2008 and the suspension of the 2007 European missile defense program by Obama Administration on 17th of September, 2009.

During the expedition with two women activists (with one in Poland and with the other in Czech Republic) to the “future” U.S. military bases in Redzikowo (Poland) and Brdy (Czech Republic), some of the past (Cold War) and current events are exposed through four interrelated chapters: (1)The Politics of Security, (2)The Quest for Global Dominance, (3)You. Yes, You. You Control the Information Age and (4)Translating Democracy, that emphasize political and strategic elements of the deployment of U.S. antimissile shield in Europe to question the concepts such as security, global dominance, democracy, propaganda and resistance.
