Indymedia at the Camp for Climate Action 2006: Report & Personal View
02-10-2006 18:12
During the Climate Camp, the field IMC media centre was open for a minimum of five hours each day (two and a half each morning and evening), with these limited opening hours primarily aimed to conserve power. Some days it was open longer, and it ran fully all day for two days until about midnight during the main day of action.
Mostly the imc ran on bio-diesel, but there was also a renewables power feed and some battery capacity. Twelve P1 laptops running via an LTSP server from Bristol Wireless provided the core public access, plus varying at different times up to five more modern laptops were running.
Two tents provided the main structures, one for the main imc / Public Access Point and one more as storage and kitchen. Chairs came from a social centre in Manchester, and table tops were donated by TRIM timber recycling of Manchester. 6 tables were set up balanced on top of hay bales (looking very rustic) while another 6 table tops had very sturdy legs masterfully constructed from scrap timber. The satellite dish providing connectivity from Psand was similarly balanced on top of four hay bales, but was in fact rock solid once ratcheted down - again a nice mix of rustic charm with hi tech.
Around 145 pictures were published direct from the field IMC, including two mobile phone pics (non-automated). Dispatch had over 50 phone reports on the main day of action. Several audio interviews and video clips were published. One freelance videographer was arrested and had their footage seized by cops. There was lots of good filming going on, and on the Friday night, over one hour of rushes were screened in two different tents to an appreciative audience! Several different sections of these are now fully published in IMC UK's Climate Camp page.
A big well done to all involved in setting up, running, participating and taking down the centre!

Knowing that the met and the government goons are avid readers of what I write (apparently, they must - chuckle, chuckle!), I thought a few tid-bits needed to be added here and there and everywhere so the muppets will have to re-read my statement against corruption and for God's people in its entirety, once again... My apologies to those who have already taken the time to read what I have previously written and I promise it will be worth your while to seek out the added bits. The b*stards are playing psych-ops with the protesters for peace, and so, at the very least... they should have to read and re-read and re-read again, over and over and over, their real crimes, as reported all over the internet!
