Rolling Stone, part of “the American press [that] ignored Oaxaca” during the near-civil war of 2006 pictured in Rolling Thunder #4, has published a story on anarchist journalist Brad Will (presented in its entirety below). Brad was shot and killed by local government officials on October 27, at the peak of the conflict.
The article itself is supportive, having presumably been written by one of Brad’s countless friends, and even mentions Rolling Thunder. Thanks to such shining examples of journalistic integrity as Rolling Stone, it’s possible for revolutionaries outside the United States to get coverage—albeit only a few lines a year and a half late—in the US media. All they have to do is hope some sexy, well-connected US journalist gets killed beside the countless anonymous locals whose lives are ended by US-backed repression.
Let’s keep Brad’s memory alive by supporting all those who still struggle for freedom, in Oaxaca and around the world.

It’s been an incredibly busy last few months here in Salem, and we’re just beginning to reach equilibrium in our post-Expect Resistance world. The spectacularly and continually delayed Rolling Thunder #5 is creeping towards completion (80 pages down, 24 to go!), as we struggle to find free moments between stuffing boxes full of books and carting them to the post office. Rest assured that we are closing the gap, and almost exactly 6 months late, RT#5 should be out around the end of February. I dare say that while the long delay sucks, it has certainly given us the time to make this the best issue yet.

In December 2007, the first package from CrimethInc. Far East arrived in Antarctica, the last remaining continent to which we had not yet sent books. We hope the recipient, pictured here, will immediately set about fomenting anarchist revolution in his small colony of researchers; we fear he must hurry if he is to succeed before corporate industrialism melts the poles entirely. May our resistance be as global as capital!
