I'm sure quite a few of you remember all the discussions surrounding this particular and anticipated pre-election strategic event that never really happened.

Or didn't it? And we just didn't know about it.

For the life of me I don't remember hearing anything about this story in the month before the election, in fact, this socialist website is about the only place I can find it. I just happened across it tonight.

    October 15, 2004

    In a chilling attack on free speech, U.S. authorities on October 7 seized two internet servers in London belonging to the independent media network Indymedia. More than 20 Indymedia sites around the world were taken down as a result of the raid. The servers were returned on October 14, but no formal charges have been announced and no explanation has been given for the raid.

    And the harassment continues.

    In a guest lecture at the University of Texas School of Law on Wednesday, FBI Supervisory Senior Resident Agent G. Charles Rasner listed Indymedia, Food Not Bombs, and the Communist Party of Texas as “Terrorist Watch” cause groups in Austin.

    This from last month in the Twin Cities.

    StateWatch
    In response to the recent increase of intimidation of activists by FBI and other arms of the state, the editorial collective is creating a special section of the site to document FBI visits, surveillance, repression and intimidation. If you have information regarding the repression of social movements and democracy in Minnesota, please post it to the site so that we can collect it in one place.

    What the fuck is happening here?
    Just google 'indymedia fbi'...

    And Food Not Bombs? They feed the homeless downtown here every Sunday. Unfuckingbelievable.

    standin above the crowd
    he had a voice that was strong and loud and
    i swallowed his facade cos i'm so
    eager to identify with
    someone above the crowd
    someone who seemed to feel the same
    someone prepared to lead the way
