Arch activist and side kick of Slob Geld Wolf (as known in Holland) Bono has bought himself a slice of the Forbes media group. maybe him and geldwolf will be able to organize their own psuedo G8 protests in future instead of hijacking the real thing. This creep should be pelted with rotten eggs and seasonal veg as often as possible.Full article | 1 addition | 3 comments

"i,” the powerful and occasionally frustrating new film by independent directors Raphael Lyon and Andres Ingoglia, tells of one such democratic moment, the Argentinean economic collapse of 2001 and the social uprisings that accompanied it. Along the way it also functions as one of the first, if not the very first, feature length films about the Independent Media Center (IMC, or Indymedia) movement, which chronicled the Argentine struggle as it unfolded.
Anyway. Here's an advance review of the Indymedia film "i" that I did for the upcoming issue of the Indypendent.

i went to cover the gently amusing 'multiple lone demonstrations' (15 of them) organised by mark thomas in parliament square this evening ( http://indymedia.org.uk/en/2006/07/345974.html), but one story or action after another left me disgusted by the end of the evening.

As you might already know, the next European PGA conference will takeplace in France this summer, from August 19th to September 3rd. It will
happen in two parts, in a decentralised fashion: the first 9 days will
take place in 5 different locations around France, each with specific
themes in focus; it will be followed by 2 days off for travelling &
chilling-out, then by 4 days in a central location, that will be the
