IMC RADIO CREW HARASSED BY POLICE. ONE PERSON DETAINED FOR NO PROBABLE CAUSE.

by IMC Tuesday, Aug. 15, 2000 at 9:16 PM

5:00pm IMC Radio crew harrassed by police...one still detained.

5:00pm IMC Radio crew were frisked and harassed by police in the parking lot of Patriotic Hall. Police's reaction to a team of IMC video cameras surrounding them was to back off. However, one person is still being detained at the moment.

What's Your Point ??

Franklins Tower@unbrokenchain.net 401-663-5280 Providence, RI

Let's see if we got any Censors about. So what the FUCK is your point, Suspicious ? You saying they deserved it ? I am a Journalist. Our Rights are guaranteed by the Constitution and codified in USCC 2000 (aa) and say that Journalists may not be detained, nor their work product or equipment confiscated. Standing Orders to the Providence Police Dept. is that under NO Circumstances shall a reporter be touched, NOT EVEN if he/she has possession of evidence of a crime !! FUCK THE POLICE STATE !! Support your Journalists, they ARE the ones keeping your dumb ass both free and informed.

Hey-"suspicious"!

by pingu Tuesday, Aug. 15, 2000 at 9:48 PM

If you aren't a cop spammer, would you like to tell everyone what you think that the indy-media people were up to that caused the police to detain them? I'm curious to get your opinion. If you make comments like that with no details to back them up you basically just look like a dupe of the campaign to demonize both legal non-violant protest (a first amendment right) and non-corporate media. C'mon "suspicious"...tell us why those journalists were detained...

Please,

We all know this person's comment is assinine. Please don't exhaust yourselves on such scurrilous tripe. And to Mr. Suspicious, give yourself a garlic enema and get with the movement, as it were.

Thank you Suspicious!

LAPD = 1

Next Steps to Revolution

by JdPrez Tuesday, Aug. 15, 2000 at 11:09 PM
complexarray@sysr.com

Having participated in R2K Direct Action, and gotten burned by infiltrators, dirty tricks from the police & trumped courts, I believe the next step in the Movement's Evolution for Revolution is this:


1) Just like thieving corporations, we Co-opt their power, names & "public" spaces (even their system organization perhaps) & turn them against each other.


ex. On one chain store, another's logos cover & bury the it, displaying how these carnivores have no conscience and will devour their own


ex. On advertising, a slogan may read from their mascot's mouth says things like "Attention Working Class, you will NOT get your break today!" or hard cold facts to educate the masses on what's really happening


The benefit of this is


i. people will become aware of the travesties by these global offenders


ii. people will no longer be tolerant of their din (think of the distrust & turnoff caused by mud-slinging politicians)


iii. no "dirty protester kids" are involved to legally smear, crack with violent police brigades or ignore in the media


etc..


2) Our organizations have not crossed the racial divide. There are plenty of organizations of people of color (as well queers, womens etc) out there doing things, but we have to offer our help in their struggles as they will help us & we all rise up together.


ex. Do not say "us whites are are here to save you"; rather, "we are interested in your struggles. What can we do to help?"


The benefit of this is


i. broader democracy


ii. broader coalition


iii. numbers, numbers, numbers


etc..

3) We can longer preach to the choir. It is time to infiltrate the SubUrban Wastelands & stink the place up with visual/vocal dissent. Not Everyone knows how bad things are, or even those that do haven't seen our organized brotherhoods, but I say that's where the next Local/Regional/Global decentralized demonstrations belong & will turn the Critical Mass towards Political Awareness, Power & Democracy


ex. Massive Mall Occupations


ex. Massive Interstate/Thruway demonstrations


etc..

4) We call our own Targets, Demonstration Locales & Times within a "window" that is spontaneous. This keeps Constitutionally-Breaking Cops from rounding people up just before mobilization (witness A15 & R2K Puppet Space), because NOBODY, not even non-violent protesters

themselves know when beautiful street dmonstrations, banners, dancing & music will break out. What would happen is some goon from the Police Force will inevitably club some innocent demonstrator & then boom: all the beauty of direct action will break out--hence violent cops bringing revolution by their own hand. All this represents a step forward from activists being "Event Chasers".


ex. Some Major City


ex. Some particular week is announced as say, "the Non Violent World Party comes to Town"


etc..

5) We protect ourselves from Infiltration by having all newcomers to Affinity Group meetings for their OWN AG.


Benefits:

i. Protects safety of working AG’s

ii. Provides better flexibility of comfort levels for new activists

Please fellow activists, share our creativity; there's too much at stake to let the Ruling Class of the Capitalist Fascicts & their Protectorate Armies believe they've won.



PS To all Federal/Police Surveillance etc.:

1. You are Human Rights Benedict Arnolds

2. Our actions are Non-Violent

3. No one has committed to anything above--these are just the ideas of free speech

Here is a web site where accessories which may be useful to the protestors and their media cronies are available.

The Truth Shows

by Patrick Henry Wednesday, Aug. 16, 2000 at 12:21 AM

The truth always shows. By paying people to post stupid messages on our web site, by coming up with phony bomb threats to shut down a dissident broadcast that might compete with the Great Leader's speech, by having to put fences and thousands of cops around the convention center so the People's Party can have a convention that keeps the people out, we only see how far this nation has changed from the land of Thomas Jefferson, Samuel Adams and Patrick Henry.

Take a close look at the picture on IMC. There are four cops within 10 feet of the van with the "bomb". These four cops are telling you that they KNOW there is no bomb in that van.

But it doesn't matter. The truth is always there to see. And the more people try to hide it and cover it up, the more brightly it shines through. Tonight there are thousands of people who are checking out these websites, who maybe weren't sure what's going on. Tonight they see that picture of those four cops standing next to a "bomb" which has shut-down a non-approved political broadcast, and they see the truth.
