For the last few years since the CV19 scamdemic undocumented immigration into Ireland has surged. No one is allowed discuss it because they do not want any rational debate about it. If you do you are labelled an extremist. However this out of control immigration is fully facilitated by the Irish government and the EU and the shady figure behind the Neo Con movement pushing for endless war, wokeism and globalist agenda.

London's new Chinese Embassy looks less like a diplomatic mission and more like the command post of a hostile power, says Clive Pinder. Is Britain now so weak that it will stand for this?

Jump To Comment: 2 1The fundamental problem, I think, with the IMC websites is that we treat our visitors like readers and not like users, like people. This was fine in 1999, when people would come online and essential ‘read’ the Internet. Highly static content, not a lot going on that couldn’t be done over morning coffee. But now people live online. Everything is dynamic, interactive. Which is not to say the IMC is far behind; every new CMS version has a more user-friendly approach, improved reliability, easier posting to the newswire. But what are we asking of our visitors? “Come to our site, drop off your story, check back later to see if anyone responded to it.” That’s not interactive. That’s fishing.
Yes, Indymedia websites are news websites, not an online community group. And yet whenever I hit a mass protest walking into the IMC space isn’t like going to work, it’s like hitting a party with everyone so into what they’re doing. When I get out on the streets I’m not some journalist observing it all, I’m a demonstrator who happens to have a camera. So there is this community imbued in everything we do. I think we need to respond to that.
Over the next year I’m going to be working on adding these features to the Boston IMC website, pending the agreement of the collective, of course:....
Listening to Indymedia radio streaming live from the Republication National Convention protests in New York City, I hear people calling from outside the jailhouse as their fellow activists are released. The crowds cheer and chant, updates are given, stories are fed back into a massive communications web, bypassing the corporate media who are ignoring the 500,000 people protesting the Bush administration and the more than 2,000 people arrested.
On the other side of the planet I listen and tap my keyboard, adding a feature to Melbourne Indymedia about federal police harassing a local anarchist at the request of the FBI. “Our resistance is as global as capital” has been a popular slogan amongst the global justice movements; it’s also as nearly as well connected.

The domination of the mainstream media over our lives is continuing to increase. Despite the fact that more than 500,000 people protested at the Republican National convention -the biggest demonstrations ever against such an event - it hardly rated a mention in the corporate media. In many ways, more than the construction of consensus, media regimes occupy attention. Drawing people away is a challenge that is not just about the information they produce or the way they produce it, it is something that requires guerrilla tactics that can intervene, block, stop, derail, divert and detourne the media messages that flood our brains. Cracks are everywhere. How can a machine of networked organs be set in motion against this Empire that would condemn us all to work, consumption, ecological catastrophe and war?
