One Race the Human Race Part I: The Political Economy of Genocide Documentary (Duration 42 mins) This short film by no means tries to give a what, when, where, who and how analysis of the conflict taking place in the Lebanon, Palestine and Israeli (Iraq). It is a collection of mostly images and video taken off various Indymedia sites around the world and merged together to give an incomplete and brief snap shot montage sequence of the consequences of state violence and apathy to the suffering of human beings for narrow selfish political reasons. Dedicated to IMC journalists in Lebanon, Palestine and Israel. ... read full story / add a comment

On this day 50 years ago IBM unveiled its RAMAC (Random Access Memory Accounting Machine). A computer machine which weighed several tonnes & occupied the same space as a bunch of fridge freezers. It was the first hard drive which could be searched & accessed without starting from the "beginning" of the data flow & running to the end, such as one must do with a magnetic tape. Between 13/9/56 and its withdrawl from the market in the mid 1960's IBM sold over 6,000 of the units each of which could store 5 megabytes of information. ... read full story / add a comment

Early next year the World Social Forum will happen in Nairobi-Kenya and a call out has gone out for indymedia support for the project. Along with the setting up of a "convergence-based" IMC for the event, some activists are organising to try to set up listening stations in social centres around Europe whereby more people can at least listen to things as they happen from Kenya. But experiments in participating in the WSF without physically being there are also being explored in an attempt to push the boundaries of how this world works today. ... read full story / add a comment

"America did not invent human rights. In a very real sense, it is the other way around. Human rights invented America." - President Jimmy Carter Following that credo, on September 11, 2006, American women handcuffed and chained themselves to the Afghan Embassy in Washington, DC to protest against Hamid Karzai's oppressive government. A spokeswoman stated that this was "just the start of demonstrations against the Afghan Embassy in Washington to protest President Karzai's illegal imprisonment of innocent Americans and treatment of Afghan women." ... read full story / add a comment

The Plaza de San Jacinto in San Angel is a must see for any Irish traveller in Mexico. San Angel is one of the more attractive part of the city with its cobbled streets and colonial architecture. The best day to visit is Saturday when there is an open market in around the edges of the municipal garden. When you arrive go to the top of the Plaza and look for the plaque. Today (September 12th) at 10am there will be an official cermony. The Irish Republic will be represented by an embassy official and other Irish people living in Mexico. (This is just a quick notice and I don't pretend to be an expert and the internet cafe is closing soon so please excuse a lack of details.) ... read full story / add a comment

The Finglas Branch of the ISN is currently immersed in the Anti-Bin Tax Campaign. Over the last number of weeks Dublin City Council has begun to implement non-collection in parts of Finglas East. Local residents have responded vigorously! In one estate over 40 residents turned out early in the morning to dump their bags in the truck showing that resistance to the stealth tax was still robust in the area. The council official present was so overwhelmed by the action that he rang the Gardai who duly arrived but, as no laws were being broken, left without a word. Since then, the campaign has leafleted all the areas affected and, along with residents in these areas we are organising the dumping of rubbish into the bin trucks. ... read full story / add a comment
