Matteo Pasquinelli writes "An instant-report from Italy, where a wave of tactical televisions is rising connected to no-war mobs and new global movement. After video activism and net activism we can consider this a new kind of tv activism for the number of people, energies, ideas involved.

Ben_Meyers writes "From the web site YellowTimes.org :

Pictures of U.S. POWs and Iraqi civilian casualties [on the Yellow Times web site] have been censored by our hosting provider. Therefore, we cannot show these pictures. They
also forced us to remove pictures of Iraqi casualties.


Our site was shut down for an hour until we removed the pictures. You can see the pictures at our affiliate site here:

Does anyone know what happened to the Baghdad blogger?

Here's the most recent entry:


I watched al sahaf on al-jazeera. he said that the US has bombed the Iraqi sattelite channel, but while he was saying that the ISC was broadcasting and if it really did hit the ISC headquarters it would have been right in the middle of baghdad. what was probably hirt were transmiters or something. all TV stations are still working.

We are excited to announce that the next edition of

the Anarchist Black Cross Network publication will be

produced by the Break The Chains collective.



We are now accepting submissions for the newsletter

from anti-authoritarian and anti-capitalist prisoners

and prison activists - so send us your contributions

of poetry, artwork, and articles analyzing the Prison

Industrial Complex, how prison relates to and

reinforces other forms of oppression (racism, gender

oppression, etc.), articles on prisoner-support and

prisoner resistance, critiques of contemporary

movement trends, and suggestions for how anarchist

prisoner-aid groups such as the ABCN can be more

effective at supporting prisoners and building a

movement to abolish prisons and the deranged society

that continues to build them. We are especially

interested in hearing from politically conscious and

active women prisoners and prison activists, whose

voices are all too often underrepresented in our

movement.

"A snippet of history. Political media is pretty dull and earnest as a rule, but the years since 1968 are peppered with exceptions that have broken the strictures of discourse and allowed individuality and subjectivity to break through. In Bologna, Italy, Radio Alice, although short-lived was a crucial experience in this regard for an important part of the movement of '77. In comparison with the other radio stations of the 'movement', Alice allowed voices of youth and difference to emerge over the air in ways that were not possible for broadcasters operating with a narrowly ideological agenda. Here is a taste of their own inimitable collective style. Enjoy."


"Radio Alice--Free Radio"

Collective A/Traverso

After the events of March 1977 - Radio Alice
became the symbol of the free radios. It was
emitted from Bologna, one of the strongholds
of the ICP and the explicit showcase for the
Historical Compromise.

"Horns and Halos"

Reviewed by Louis Proyect

Co-directed by Suki Hawley and Michael Galinsky and now showing at Cinema Village in NYC, "Horns and Halos" is the best documentary I have seen since "Startup.Com," with which it shares some important aspects. Both films revolve around doomed projects: in one instance, a typical dot.com that crashed and burned like so many others in the 1990's; in the other, a Quixotic mission by a small threadbare publishing house to get the troubled George W. Bush biography "Fortunate Son" to market.

Basque Country - Sole Basque Language Newspaper Closed by the Police.


Five years after the closure of the left-separatist newspaper Egin, the Guardia civil, following the orders of the Spanish judge Juan del Olmo of the national court, has closed "Euskaldunon Egunkaria". the only daily newspaper in the basque language. Ten people have been arrested and their offices in Bilbao, Gasteiz-Vitoria and Pampalona have been closed. The central office in the city of Andoain has also been shut down.

Because of the worldwide anti-war demos in over 300 cities this Sat.
Feb. 15 (see http://www.unitedforpeace.org/article.php?id=725 ), including in Amsterdam (Dam Square, 13:00 CET), the joint Dutch
free radios will deliver a collective broadcast, with music, live
reports, backgrounds, live excerpts from other demos across the world,
etc. So bring your radios and cell phones and become a reporter
yourself. There will be a Dance For Peace in Paradiso afterwards
(15:30 -- 23:30 -- ??), which will also be broadcast both in video and
audio streams and on the radio. You can tune in to any of the following, in the free ether (no cable!) or on the web:
