Indymedia.us and the EFF successfully fight back against bogus FBI subpoena

Indymedia.us is happy to announce that we've managed, after nearly a year of legal action on our behalf by the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF), to successfully fight back against a bogus subpoena request issued by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) in conjunction with a grand jury investigation. The request demanded we turn over all IP address logs for a day in June of 2008 - not only did Indymedia.us object to this blatantly illegitimate and overly broad request, but, per accepted Indymedia best practices, we do not keep such logs in the first place, in order to maximally ensure the privacy of our site users. Also troubling was the fact that the indymedia.us sysadmin who received the subpoena was also bound by its gag order provision, making her unable to discuss the legal issue with the broader network of collectives cooperating on the indymedia.us site. We're happy that the EFF was ultimately able to get this demand for silence shown to be illegitimate as well --- one can only wonder how many ISPs silently capitulate to similarly broad and unconstitutional requests.

G20 Finance Ministers fail to agree on Climate Change Finance Package

G20 Finance ministers failed to reach agreement on the financing required for a global agreement to stave off catastrophic climate change, according to WWF Scotland. The Finance Ministers of the G20 countries were meeting in St Andrews, Scotland on 6-7 November.

Outside the G20 Finance Ministers meeting in St Andrews students and civil society gathered with an alternative summit on Saturday and Students Blockading the G20 meeting on the road to the Fairmont Hotel in an attempt to disrupt the G20 finance ministers as they arrived at their St Andrews hotel location. A rally occured in St Andrews to say 'Nae Tae G20.' on November 7. (Photos) The students were protesting against the G20's current policies regarding the economic recession.

Industrialised World Intransigence on CO2 emissions dooms Climate Negotiations

Africa abandons Barcelona's pre COP15 climate talks - Anger in the streets at rich nations inaction. Copenhagen Climate Treaty appears doomed - delays likely. Delay is not an option, delay kills.

This week (Nov 2 - 6) the Barcelona International Climate Change Talks are happening, five days of formal negotiations, in the lead up to COP 15 in Copenhagen in December 2009. Already Barcelona has seen a Manifestation in Barcelona streets - "The climate is not for sale" (Youtube vid | report), Outdoor film screening in city streets of Age of Stupid, TckTckTck wake up call for climate talks, Greenpeace banner drop (Youtube), Anarchist night greeting, Africa boycott U.N. climate talks (Grist report), Evening Water Lobby group targeted, and the Main entrance shut down by activists.

Conservation organisations have warned that the Copenhagen climate treaty threatens to subsidise the destruction of the world's remaining rainforests instead of financing their protection. In Indonesia Greenpeace established a Climate Defenders Camp to preserve Rainforest peatlands (Youtube Video). On October 24, 2009 people in 181 countries came together through 350.org calling for carbon emissions to be capped at 350ppm. It was the most widespread day of environmental action in the planet's history, at over 5200 events around the world, many of them reported on the Indymedia Network. (Photos)

Opposition to EDL Rally in Leeds, UK

On 31st October 2009 in City Square, Leeds, the English Defence League held a rally. The EDL is a nationalist, islamophobic organisation formed earlier this year and is widely viewed as racist.

A counter-demonstration was organised by Unite Against Fascism (UAF). Participants described it variously as being dull, jubilant and tightly controlled. Meanwhile, other anti-EDL groups attempted to confront EDL directly. Reports suggest that at least two large groups attempted to reach EDL to confront them at City Square, but were turned back towards the UAF rally by police (see time-line for first-hand accounts).

Reports from the area around City Square were that most of the EDL supporters didn't go into their pen. Some were held between police lines and others regrouped on Boar Lane, before being brought back to the railway station by the police. Another group of EDL marched around the Albion Street area and responded violently when challenged about their inflammatory chanting.

BusinessEurope conference disturbed by climate activists

This morning (28th october) around 9:00am dozens of costumed activists have blocked all access to the Charlemagne Building in Brussels, next to the Commission’s HQ, where Business Europe, the EU lobby of bosses and industrialists, is supposed to hold their conference on Copenhagen and climate change and hear Barroso self-congratulate himself on green capitalism. Belgian activists retort: Our Climate Ain’t None of Your Business!

Squatting ban in the Netherlands approaching

For the last three years a ban on squatting has been in preparation in Dutch politics. A new act that is to ban squatting in the Netherlands has passed through parliament on October 15th. Squatting empty houses that have been empty for over a year is currently still legal in the Netherlands. The new act, an initiative by the Christian Democrats, the Christian Union and the conservative opposition party VVD, is to make squatting a felony punishable by at least one year and up to three years of prison when refusing to evict. Despite strong critique from the High Court, the union of city councils and even the Amsterdam police force, the christian/rightwing majority in The Hague is pushing this law through.

Venezuela: Demarcación sin territorio, criminalización y muerte a los luchadores indígenas

Lucha:
Decía el Viejo Antonio que, la lucha es como un círculo.
Se puede empezar en cualquier en cualquier punto,
pero nunca termina.
Subcomandante Marcos.

El pasado 12 de octubre se consumó lo que, desde hace tiempo denunciamos como parte de la estrategia etnofágica y etnocida del actual Estado-gobierno venezolano: el cuerpo ministerial de Chávez vino a entregar supuestos títulos a tres comunidades indígenas yukpa en la Sierra de Perijá, pretendiendo con ello, dar por saldado el proceso de demarcación de los hábitats correspondientes a este pueblo. Llama la atención la no presencia del Presidente Chávez en un acto esperado en la Sierra desde el año 2002, fecha en la que según disposición constitucional el Estado ha debido culminar el proceso de demarcación de todos los espacios territoriales indígenas del país; en su defecto, un enorme piquete de soldados cubrió el espacio del evento, supuestamente, para brindar seguridad a los Ministros (Interior y Justicia; Ambiente; de Pueblos Indígenas; entre otros funcionarios presentes), y que al menor asomo de protesta de las comunidades no favorecidas se activó de inmediato para aplacar sus abiertos reclamos. Se trató, en fin, de la acción a través de la cual los yukpa debían obligadamente aceptar la entrega de NADA.

Puerto Rico: Paro Nacional del Pueblo

- CMI-Puerto Rico

Más de 150,000 personas marcharon el día del Paro Nacional contra las políticas neoliberales del gobierno de Luis Fortuño y los ricos. Hoy por hoy el país se prepara para organizar la Huelga General.

Como parte de las actividades programadas para el día del Paro Nacional del 15 de octubre, hubo dos grandes concentraciones: la de la coalición Todo Puerto Rico Por Puerto Rico comandada por el liderato de la Coalición Sindical compuesta de sucursales de uniones burocráticas estadounidenses, y la del Frente Amplio de Solidaridad y Lucha comandado por la UTIER. Pero en el Expreso Las Américas, en el área del elevado que pasa por encima de la Ave. Roosevelt, se dio una tercera concentración de manera improvisada.

Costa Rica: Caminata Popular, Por la Dignidad del Sur

El pasado 6 de Octubre, dos años después del Fraude que decidió la aprobación del Tratado de Libre Comercio con EEUU, se realizó una Caminata Popular por la Dignidad en la Zona Sur de Costa Rica. Más de 150 activistas marcharon desde la entrada del Territorio de Térraba,  hasta el centro del cantón de Buenos Aires. Paso a paso se fue recorriendo el camino de 13 kilómetros. Distintas comunidades en todo lo ancho, largo y profundo del sur enfrentan luchas contra la expansión piñera, la construcción del "P.H. Diquís", la construcción del aeropuerto internacional en el territorio de Finca 9, los planes de construir marinas e implantar granjas industriales de atún en el Golfo Dulce y a favor de la ley de la Autonomia Indígena.

South Africa's Shackdwellers Under Violent Attack

DURBAN — On Saturday, September 26, about 40 heavily armed men ambushed a meeting of the Kennedy Road Development Committee of Abahlali baseMjondolo, South Africa's shack dwellers’ movement. The men were apparently shouting, “the AmaMpondo are taking over Kennedy. Kennedy is for the amaZulu!” The ensuing violence has resulted in between two and eight deaths, and hundreds of homes burned. As of Sunday night only leaders of Abahlali baseMjondolo have been jailed --- many of whom are members of the movement's security team and some of the youth who were not present at the time of the attack. Many have fled the settlement and people's homes are being destroyed, including the home of Abahlali President, S'bu Zikode.

It is clear that the attacks have been on political and ethnic grounds, and there is growing concern regarding the involvement of local authorities including the police, ANC, and ward council. The violence appears to be a planned attempt to break this peaceful and democratic movement. Please read and sign a petition demanding an end to the violence.

Μαζική αντίσταση στη δικτατωρία του Micheletti και τα εκτελεστικά αποσπάσματα

Η δικτατωρία του Micheletti στην Ονδούρα, η οποία αντρόπιαστα επαναφέρει το εκτελεστικό απόσμασμα της δεκαετίας του 1980 "Τάγμα 3-16" [1] [2] με μέλη τον Billy Joya [1] [2], τον Nelson Willy Mejía Mejía [1] [2] και τον Napoleón Nassar Herrera [1] [2], έχει απαγορέψει τα ανθρώπινα δικαιώματα από το πραξικόπημα της 28ης Ιουνίου 2009, έχει «εξαφανίσει» τουλάχιστον τρεις ανθρώπους, έχει εκτελέσει χωρίς δίκη γύρω στα δέκα άτομα, και έχει φυλακίσει εκατοντάδες [1] (ισπανικά) | [2] (αγγλικά) (ισπανικά) | [3] (αγγλικά) (ισπανικά). Παρόλα αυτά, πρωτοφανείς λαϊκές διαδηλώσεις έχουν γίνει με την άφιξη τη Τρίτη 11 Αυγούστου 2009 στη Tegucigalpa πάνω από 70.000 (ισπανικά) διαδηλωτές και χιλιάδες άλλους στο San Pedro Sula, που συνεργάζονται μέσα από το Μέτωπο ενάντια στο πραξικόπηημα. Η 19η ανακοίνωση του Μετώπου λέει πως αν το καθεστώς Micheletti δεν φύγει μέσα στις επόμενες ημέρες και δεν δώσει τη προεδρία πίσω στον Zelaya, τότε το Μέτωπο θα κλιμακώσει τις μαζικές λαϊκές πράξεις ανηπακοής (ισπανικά) που έχουν ήδη παραλύσει την οικονομία και θα κάνει εθνικές και διεθνείς μυνήσεις εναντίων των υπευθύνων για τις εκτελέσεις δίχως δίκες και άλλες καταπατήσεις ανθρωπίνων δικαιωμάτων.

Τα καπιταλιστικά Δυτικά ΜΜΕ με λίγες εξαιρέσεις έχουν αποτύχει να μεταδώσουν πληροφορίες για τη συμμετοχή του εκτελεστικού αποσπάσματος του Τάγματος 3-16 στην de facto κυβέρνηση του Micheletti, δεν έχουν ασχοληθεί καθόλου με τις «εξαφανίσεις», μιλάνε για λιγότερες εκτελέσεις δίχως δίκες απ’ όσες γίνονται, και έχουν σχεδόν πλήρως αποκρύψει την ακόμη ανεξιχνίαστη ιστορία των εκτελεστικών αποσμπασμάτων της δεκαετίας του 1980. Η κυβέρνηση του Zelaya επίσης περιείχε μέλη των εκτελεστικών αποσπασμάτων (ισπανικά), κάτι με το οποίο η CODEH και άλλες τοπικές οργανώσεις ανθρωπίνων δικαιωμάτων στην Ονδούρα ποτέ δεν συμφώνησαν. Το σχέδιο των Obama-Clinton-Lula "Arias" «περιέργως» δεν αναφαίρεται αν προτείνει ή όχι την απαγόρεψη συμμετοχής μελών των εκτελεστικών αποσπασμάτων σε οποιαδήποτε «συμφωνημένη» κυβέρνηση συνεργασίας.
