Last week in a U.S. military court, Sgt. Kevin Benderman was sentenced to 15 months for refusing redeployment to Iraq.

Benderman had previously been deployed to Iraq for 8 months before concluding the U.S. war on Iraq to be immoral and illegal.

As nonviolent resistance to this war grows, there will be a growing number of brothers and sisters facing the courts & court martial, in brigs and prisons.

*Consider sending a solidarity postcard or letter to the folks on this posting.

Ian Clarke (the inventor of, among many other things, Freenet) has been singled out by a notorious US journalist that helped take down the US cracker Kevin Mitnick. The Freenet Project, involves a way to organise the distribution of information anonymously across computer networks in order to ensure anonymity. Now Clarke is being set up by NYT journalist John Markoff as a target of the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) with claims that Freenet is not about freespeech and anonymity, but actually about trading copyrighted material. Slashdot also has a discussion on the matter which refutes this. read full story / add a comment

Dear Friends.

Well, as stated, I am now to keep an online activist dairy. {This initial intro will be more extensive}. It will detail thoughts, political writings, poetry and much more, and at times it will be very heartfelt and personal.

Some detailing the past, while most being in relation to ongoing issues that I and others are involved in. It will also give the lighter side of life, and times and events as yet unaccounted for.

The dairy shall be updated on a monthly basis and will incorporate many issues of interest to activists, but also giving those personal thoughts and experiences

Therefore my first entry as attached. Davy Carlin. read full story / add a comment

87% of the world's opium grown in 2004 was grown in Afghanistan.

Afghanistan has succeeded in growing more opium than in any other recorded year.

131,000 hectares of the country supplied the raw material for heroin addicts everywhere, this is an area a little smaller than the size of Leitrim, or if you prefer a little smaller than both counties Carlow and Louth together. read full story / add a comment
