offsite link The Faux-Radicalism of Kneecap Wed Apr 30, 2025 19:00 | Andrew Doyle
Kneecap's vocal support for Hamas and call for fans to murder Tory MPs is obviously reprehensible. But it's just for show, says Andrew Doyle. The police shouldn't waste their time investigating rappers.

offsite link Pope Francis?s Liberalism is Not Why Young People Are Returning to Church Wed Apr 30, 2025 11:00 | Dr Roger Watson
As a Catholic, Prof Roger Watson is sure Francis was appointed Pope for a reason. It's just that he's damned if he can figure out what it was. Certainly, it's not his liberalism that's drawn young people back to church.

global indymedia network project for world social forum in jan 2004

category international | arts and media | opinion/analysis author Tuesday December 02, 2003 11:46author by dunk - FUSPEYauthor email duncancrowley at hotmail dot com Report this post to the editors

a new year, new experiment

indymedia
can it be improved
yes
global indymedia network
global indymedia network

the website is good, its already used by many.
could more use it, more groups and networks working for global justice and sustainability use it.
how much do they use it at present?
http://www.indymedia.ie/newswire.php?story_id=62491
is an example of this- a feedback talk last saturday about
WTO and cancun etc, not posted on indymedia- does trade metter?

outreach and publicity of indymedia,
pressure was put on indymedia to "open up a bit" move away from just being a website
they did, thankfully.
1 open get together in stags head 3 weeks ago.
another one was publicised and it did not happen, no one commented on why it dident happen, people went, they want to know whats going on, they want to be informed, they want to get invovled
what is the story
http://www.indymedia.ie/newswire.php?story_id=62310

the world social forum is happening in january in mumbai in india.
social forum and indymedia are the 2 open, non hierarchial processes which are changing the world in a fundamentally new way.
it is the - network age- things are changing
http://www.indymedia.ie/newswire.php?story_id=29627&search_text=the%20rise%20of%20open%20source is a very good article after feb 15th, the largest ever organised protest in recorded world history
can we do more
is it possible for the 150 or so already existing indymedia nodes to work on a global project together, whereby live webstreams can be set up so that those of us who want to go to mumbai but physically cant, can still participate in the process;
using the real and the virtual together
live streams and web conferencing.

its already a tool used by a lot in the business world, lets start using, embracing, working with, pushing the boundaries of technology.
what would happen if we did?
a friend of mine set up a concert for paddys day some years back, gigs in paris, dublin, boston all interacted together in real time- played music with each other.
it is possible

as an experiment in this, i am trying to get this play- May Our Faces Haunt You -
http://www.indymedia.ie/newswire.php?story_id=62490
beamed out during the WSF.
id really appreciate support and help from IMC-IE

can we please meet up in the physical world either this wednesday or sometime soon, so we can share ideas and come up with new ones.

the world is changing rapidly-
i hope people see that we are making a differnece, but that with a little more effort we can be a lot more effective
thanks anyay for all thats here already
