I’m an anthropologist, sometimes I occupy things & such.

I see anarchism as something you do not an identity...

...so don’t call me the anarchist anthropologist

Yezidi refugees in Rojava were also infuriated at Iraq. Neither KRG or any Iraqi Parliamentarian had visited or contacted them in any way.

refugees said KRG is keeping Yezidis in camps to get int’l attention, getting weapons & aid but providing them almost no help or protection

Yezidis we talked to were outraged at international reaction. Said: US, Europe, Peshmerga, did absolutely nothing for them. Only YPG & PKK.

Then there’s the refugee problem. They took in thousands of Yezidis. But even UN won’t help camp as insist on going through Syrian gov’t.

Who’d I even contact about trying to get medical supplies into Rojava? First getting it at all. Then political problem of the embargo.

i really need to do support work for Rojava but don’t know how. Most immediate problem is medical technology. They can’t import it.

one KNK person told us the PKK went through a year-long process of consensus-finding before agreeing to reject creating a nation-state

my impression is they use majority vote for technical things, like how to distribute hours of electricity, & consensus for important ones

their grass-roots justice councils are called the “Peace & Consensus committees” & they use consensus to resolve disputes

Wed 10 Dec 2014 11:23

they seemed to be doing a lot of show of hands but on small things, on really big ones I know they do consensus-finding, often, for months

anyway if someone can fill me in while I was gone: now that IS is flagrantly attacking from Turkish territory, is ANYONE calling Turkey out?

back after 10 days – seems everyone I’ve ever met feels strongly there’s at least one thing I should have done during that time but didn’t.

Wed 10 Dec 2014 10:24

in Rojava was told Turkey had completely cut off #Kobane from food & water. Yet it’s been more than a week. How are they getting supplies?

Sad I cannot attend Roy Bhaskar’s funeral but I don’t think he would have wanted me to cancel my journey to Rojava. I’ll miss him.
