Greetings, fellow office-workerbees, from the Beehive Design Collective in
Eastern Maine! We are pleased to report that our Hive is finishing up some
fantastic revisions to our FTAA and Plan Colombia graphics for a massive
upcoming print run! We're also excited to announce the opportunity for
groups to collaborate on this print run, as a means to share these
effective popular education, outreach, and fundraising tools with others
working to build awareness and mobilization against the upcoming FTAA
meetings in Miami this November! So. for the first time ever, we're
offering at-cost beehive posters!

Autonomedia (Otonomedya)

www.otonomedya.org

Autonomedia is a news and communication network based on voluntary working
and organisation. Its purpose is to make people know the events that system's
media censors because of ideological reasons and to provide a basis for
the voices that are depressed.

Autonomedia, as it can be understood from the emphasis on "autonom", is
self-regulative, non-hierarchical, anti-authoritarian, and accepts horizontical
and voluntary organisation as a way of working. It is the site of anarchists
and will give priority to the news and announcements of anarchists, and
anarchism.

Ash writes:

Vermont is an area known historically for being radical, but also for being rural. In a rural context it's hard to connect with one another to discuss, to plan, and to act. This mailing list will attempt to facilitate dialogue around anarchist issues in Vermont, anarchist-oriented activism, and anarchist planning based around demonstrations in other areas of the US and Canada.


 

With so many demonstrations happening around the east coast in the next year, and with Vermont's relative isolation, it seems to make sense to work with one another to attend these demonstrations and to hold solidarity actions in Vermont itself, for those who can't travel.


 


  Join the list! Say stuff! Smash the state! (... or at least have fun trying)

Indianapolis: Solidarity Books Raided Last Night

Solidarity Books Collective, (Friday August 15 2003 @ 08:48AM PDT)

Over the past weeks, Solidarity Books has experienced a
steadily-increasing amount of police repression. There has been a
continuous stream of undercover police agents in and out of the space, a
marked rise in parked marked and unmarked police cars and tech vans on
the Boulevard Ave., and allegations that the infoshop was responsible
for vandalism at a downtown Starbucks and at St. Mary's Church (which is
the parish providing the NGA protests with a convergence space).

The Separation

Radically Separating Ourselves From The World Of
Separation:

Opposed to the spectacle, to capitalism, and to the
state.
This group will be founded upon the basic principles
of anti-authoritarian, anti-capitalism. A complete
founding document will be written collectively once we
have established ourselves. If a member dissents from
these core principles; he/she will be obligated to
resign from the group due to a conflict of interest.
An obligation to resign will never be moral or
absolute.

Situationist theory does not represent us in our full.
Rather, we are familiar with it, agree with aspects of
it, and take none of it as absolute dogmas. We are
here because history has created us. We are history,
and are not merely repeating it. We see ourselves in
history as applying ideas that have come before us to
the dissolution of the current state of things, once
and for all. We are not a party, nor will we ever
become one. A party stands to recognize the current
society as legitimate, and we do not recognize it as
such.

We are distinguishable in our absolute distaste for
the totality of this society, and our revolutionary
desire to change society in its totality. We do not
theorize - we act.

Here is a brief article about the pirate television network now developng in many differenet parts of Italy. In the autumn Autonomedia will publish a full account of developments of these struggles over media control, and the autonomous initiatives launched to counter them, by Franco Berardi (Bifo) entitled "Media Activism v TeleDictatorship."

"Polymedia Lab at World Summit on the
Information Society

December 8-13, 2003, Geneva, Switzerland

Information increasingly represents the ground on which authority is based
and on which struggles are being fought out. Intellectual Property is
becoming a major means of control, and the media-led battles for the
thoughts and the consent of people are playing a central role in global
politics -- once again proven by the tales on weapons of mass destruction
before the Iraq war.

As an intervention into the reorganisation of power, communication and
information, we propose a media lab during the World Summit on the
Information Society (WSIS).

Welcome to the on-line edition of the Communist History Network Newsletter
(CHNN), a twice-yearly publication concerned with all aspects of current
historical research into the life and work of communists and communist
parties across the world.
