Silence in the Mexican south
The Zapatistas have now retreated into silence
By Nick Caistor in Chiapas
A tiny old man wearing a green oilskin hat and a red poncho
comes shuffling up to me in the street. He's got a huge
plastic bag hanging down his back, held on by a strap across
his forehead, and he wants to sell me whatever is in it.
He is one of the majority of indigenous people who live in
this region in Mexico's deep south.
A report from Italian Indymedia
"Last night (Nov 15th) twenty people, part of new global movements in the South
of Italy, have been imprisoned with very heavy and fascistic accusations:
'Subversive association and political conspiracy finalized to disrupt
Government functions, subversive propaganda and violent subversion of the
economic order of the State'. "
hydrarchist writes This interview was published in the second issue of Make World Magazine.
Empire’s commercial success indicates how the interpretative proposal
of the book resonates with the reality of the present. The proposal
has become, thorugh agreement or disagreement, a compulsory
point of reference in the debate on the global world. S11
intercepts it, is interrogated by it and interrogates it: especially the
relationship between the form of Imperial sovereignty outlined in
the book and the actual American policy. The latter seems to be
characterised as a traditional imperialist state that aims to redesign
the geo-political borders of the planet by mobilising national
identities more than as global decentred and deterritoiralised Empire
that administers hybrid identities and flexible hierachies with
no recourse to ethnic, national traditions and values.
The clash in the
western mind
Antonio Negri
Empire came out in the US at
the beginning of 2000 and in Italy two years later.
In between the two towers collapsed. One
would have expected the Italian edition to have
an additional chapter on S11 like many other political
books that came out this year. You didn’t
add one, is it because the event was not epochal
or because it did not constitute a surprise for
your thesis?

"The Australian Federal Government plans to stop Australians gaining access to websites used to organise protests.
The move is part of a major crackdown on Internet-assisted crime.
Justice Minister Chris Ellison, acting on a request from NSW Police Minister Michael Costa, will look at upgrading federal powers to block certain websites.
A police ministers meeting in Darwin this week agreed it was "unacceptable websites advocating or facilitating violent protest action be accessible from Australia".
The Internet regulator, the Australian Broadcasting Authority, only last week decided not to block access to websites organising protests for the World Trade Organisation meeting in Sydney.

What's the sound of a groundswell?
Monday, in the rain in front of the United Nations, it
was cries of "No blood for oil! Hands off Iraq!"
emanating from activists, some of whom were being
forced into paddy wagons by a gang of New York's
finest.
Gore Vidal asks, 'Bush junta' complicit in 9/11?
Sunder Katwala, British Observer, Sunday October 27, 2002
America's most controversial novelist calls for an investigation into whether the Bush administration deliberately allowed the terrorist attacks to happen
Talk: Gore Vidal on Bush
Observer Worldview
Terrorism crisis: Observer special
America's most controversial writer Gore Vidal has launched the most scathing attack to date on George W Bush's Presidency, calling for an investigation into the events of 9/11 to discover whether the Bush administration deliberately chose not to act on warnings of Al-Qaeda's plans.

Yannis Serifis, 63 year old anti-authoritarian syndicalist, has been
imprisoned and charged as being a member of the armed struggle group
"November 17" and for the murder of CIA chief in Greece, Richard Welch in
1975 (after the fall of the dictatorship).
CIA Is Expanding Domestic Operations
More Offices, More Agents With FBI
By Dana Priest, Washington Post Staff Writer
Wednesday, October 23, 2002; Page A02
The Central Intelligence Agency is expanding
its domestic presence, placing
agents with nearly all of the FBI's 56
terrorism task forces in U.S.
cities, a step that law enforcement and
intelligence officials say will
help overcome some of the communications
obstacles between the two agencies
that existed before the Sept. 11, 2001,
attacks.

(Valencia, Spain, Oct. 25, 2000)—Approximately 2000 people assembled for an unpermitted evening march
to protest the arrest of four squatters on charges of "terrorist
association" and in solidarity with the occupied social center "MALAS
PULGAS", which is under threat of eviction. The march was led by the
families of the arrested. Busses had brought supporters from Madrid
and Barcelona.
Police presence was heavy. Identification was demanded of many
participants and there were two brief scuffles with one protestor
being injured. A benefit concert was held afterwards at the occupied
social center "La Palona"
