Boston IMC's DNC planning meeting

Boston Independent Media Center (IMC)
boston.indymedia.org
Planning meeting for events related to the Democratic National Convention (DNC)
Sunday, April 18, 4:00 pm
Lucy Parsons Center, 549 Columbus Avenue, Boston (near Mass. Ave. on the Orange line or Symphony on the Green/E line)

As local activist groups mobilize for protests and educational events in connection with the Democratic National Convention (DNC) in July, the Boston Independent Media Center (IMC) is gearing up to cover these events--and the issues behind them--from a progressive perspective that you would be hard pressed to find in the mainstream, corporate media.

Anyone who is interested in getting involved with our efforts is encouraged to come to our next DNC-related planning meeting on Sunday April 18th at 4:00 pm at the Lucy Parsons Center. We are looking for people who are interested in volunteering for any number of tasks, including fundraising, looking for office/organizing space for the duration of July, and reporting--whether in print, video or radio format--on such things as the organizing efforts of local groups in the months leading up to the DNC; the impact of the DNC on Boston; dirt on Kerry and other major Democrats, such as their corporate connections; the city and police's preparations for the DNC and surrounding protests; access of progressive groups to the DNC; and the whole gamut of issues that are important to progressives, as they tie in to the DNC.

Everyone is also welcome to come to our general monthly meetings, on the first Sunday of the month at 7:00 pm, at the Lucy Parsons Center. In addition to our preparations for the DNC, we are trying to increase our coverage of the full range of progressive events and issues in Boston and Massachusetts, serving as a general news and communications resource for progressive Bostonians.

The Boston IMC (boston.indymedia.org ) is part of the Global IMC (www.indymedia.org ), a worldwide network dedicated to not-for-profit, open-publishing, progressive, grassroots reporting. If you don't have time to come to meetings, but still want to get involved, feel free to contribute a story to our open-publishing newswire--anyone is free to post to it and your submission will be immediately visible on the website. Our volunteer editorial collective reviews the submissions, highlighting the best stories (and hiding anything really offensive or out-of-line that sneaks in). We always welcome new contributors.

Boston Independent Media Center (IMC):
Goals for Coverage of the News and Politics Related to the Democratic National Convention (DNC)

The Boston Independent Media Center plans to provide in-depth coverage of local, DNC-related organizing--not only of the protests against the Democratic National Convention but of the issues behind them. We want to report on groups planning educational events and protest actions, covering the issues they consider important. We aim to put isolated reports of protester actions and police violence (the standard fare of much protest reporting) in the context of larger issues. As part of this, we plan to cover the organizing efforts leading up to the DNC, not just the teach-ins and protests themselves. We encourage all IMC reporters to blend event-reporting and issue-reporting in their coverage, using the former as a hook for the latter. We plan to provide some basic resources in how to do this, including how-to guides that can be read on our website and story ideas and lead for reporters.

The Boston Independent Media Center also hopes to provide some logistical coordination for all IMC reporters in town for the protests, at a minimum a dispatch desk and a friendly face for people to talk to. We are fundraising and currently seeking a space or spaces that would allow us to house some of our office equipment and organizing efforts and to provide 1) computer facilities for people to work on stories, photos, videos, etc. and that they can use to upload these to the Boston IMC site and elsewhere; 2) DSL or cable access; 3) maps of the Boston area to help orient out-of-town reporters; and 4) a place for people to socialize, relax and network.

The Boston Independent Media Center will provide a list of local camp sites and other such resources on our websites, but we can not coordinate housing, food or related resources for people coming in from out of town. This is simply beyond our abilities at the current moment.

Boston Independent Media Center Mission Statement

The Boston Independent Media Center is a consensus-based, open-publishing, not-for-profit collective with the goal of providing an alternative to mass media, for-profit reporting. Our news is by the people, for the people.

With autonomous chapters in more than 200 cities across the world, the three-year-old Independent Media Center network has become an international information source for media activists. The IMC seeks to create a new media ethic by providing progressive, in-depth, and accurate coverage of issues. We are a community-based organization using media to facilitate political and cultural self-representation. We seek to illuminate and analyze issues impacting individuals, communities and eco-systems by providing media tools and knowledge to those seeking to communicate.

Unlike corporate media, we encourage open dialog, and the importance of placing the means of communication and creativity back in the hands of the people, away from the drive for profit. The Boston Independent Media Center is created, maintained, and funded entirely by volunteers.

5a. Concentració de Titelles

"Ja som a la 5a.edició de la trobada de titelles al Poble Espanyol. Creiem que aquest és un bon moment per fer una petita pausa i tornar a explicar el com i el perquè d’aquesta concentració. Aquesta breu reflexió servirà per no perdre mai la intenció que ens ha dut fins aquí.

Ara ja fa cinc anys ens vàrem plantejar la necessitat d’organitzar una trobada anual de titelles, amb l’objectiu d’esdevenir una plataforma de llançament de joves titellaires. Any rera any, ens hem anat retrobant en aquest bell recinte, - que enguany cel.lebra els seus 75 anys-, per participar dels tallers de construcció de titelles o de manipulació, per divertir-nos i aprendre amb espectacles vinguts de tot arreu, amb titelles característics de Catalunya o d’altres indrets, amb els divertits i esbojarrats titelles de cachiporra originaris de la resta de la península.

I ara, tanqueu els ulls per gaudir com els més petits; res no és el que sembla: els titelles no són ninots de paper maixé, sinó un món petit, o no tan petit, amb la única finalitat de refinar els sentits, fer revisar el món mort que ens envolta i dotar-lo, màgicament, de nous òrgans per a l’amor".

Com a introdução de um novo texto intitulado

PROUDHON E A PROPRIEDADE

Procurar pelo link Novidades
Segue-se excerto do texto que pode ser lido na íntegra em www.franciscotrindade.com.
Responsável técnico máximo, como de costume
José Carlos Fortuna.


Em 1840, um homem escreve: “A propriedade, é o roubo!” e ele crítica violentamente os fundamentos. Seis anos mais tarde, ele “balança”: “A propriedade, é o roubo, e a propriedade é uma instituição de justiça”. Dois anos antes, ele escreve: “É preciso armar a propriedade contra o comunismo”. Quatro anos ainda, e afirma: “A propriedade deve ganhar sem cessar na liberdade e na garantia”. Seis anos passam, e este indivíduo proclama: “Pela justiça… a propriedade tornou-se num elemento económico e social”. Quatro anos passam e o mesmo homem, na sua teoria da propriedade conclui: “A propriedade… é o apoio e a grande mola real do sistema social”. E quando ele aflige, três anos antes, um revolucionário (Marx) que ele admira sempre, em seguida repreende-o pela sua versatilidade, não havia razão de o tratar, no artigo necrológico que o consagra de “sofista” e de “pequeno burguês”?
O homem “versátil” que está em questão é mesmo Proudhon. Estas linhas contraditórias são bem as suas, e este procedimento da exposição, à rigorosa lógica cronológica, é certamente aquele, tão conhecido, das citações mutiladas. Mas isso diz, deve-se constatar que este conjunto tão terrivelmente imperfeito, resume muito perfeitamente o que, até à nossa época, um homem medianamente sensato, com as ideias sociais afirmadas, era ajuizado em conhecer o autor das contradições económicas.
Com este desconhecimento, ainda todo relativo, existem razões históricas. A maldição pura dos moderados (Proudhon, o anti-proprietário, o anarquista) e, sucedendo aos elogios ditirâmbicos, a maldição furiosa de Marx (Proudhon, “o merceeiro”, o “pequeno burguês”) são reencontrados para afastar os espíritos demasiado conformistas desta obra genial. E a reivindicação que os “maurassiens” fizeram – pelo preço de um verdadeiro contrasenso – não contribuirá para a confusão. Além disso, se Marx tivesse a felicidade de ter em Engels um amigo fiel e um grande clarificador, Proudhon não teria a oportunidade de ter, pelo menos em França, discípulos cuja envergadura intelectual e fidelidade teriam servido a inteira difusão e a exacta sobrevivência da sua mensagem. Desde logo, as deformações conscientes ou inconscientes que farão suportar à sua obra ignorantes e malévolos, produzirão as confusões resistentes; e estes contrasensos afastarão da obra proudhoniana aqueles que eram os mais certos a ler.
Será que Proudhon é exclusivamente a vítima de circunstâncias contrárias e de intrigas políticas? Não é ele de algum modo ou em parte, responsável por estas confusões de facto?

Euskal Jai gaztetxean: QUERIDÍSIMOS VERDUGOS

QUERIDÍSIMOS VERDUGOS
Basilio Martín Patino. 1973 (101 min.)

Esta peli documental explora una zona particularmente oscura de los últimos años del franquismo: la pena de muerte y as condiciones materiales en que se aplicaba. Para ello se vale del testimonio de tres verdugos -personajes reales- que "ejecutaban sentencias en los primeros años setenta. La peli indaga en la historia personal de estos tres tíos y sus maneras de entender el oficio, a la vez que habla de sus ajusticiados, de los crímenes de los que fueron acusados, etc.
En conjunto, se dibuja un retrato bastante atroz de la sociedad en que actuaban.

IRAQ, A Year Later: Occupation, Reconstruction and Resistance

FSTV's Shannon Service just returned from Baghdad with 35 hours of footage from war-torn Iraq. Shannon was part of a Global Exchange delegation of journalists, including anti-globalization activist and author Naomi Klein, whose purpose was to report back on the U.S. occupation and reconstruction of Iraq. The experience was intense with bomb blasts to hotels on either side of the delegation. She visited hospitals, witnessed local protests on the anniversary of the bombings, and mostly spoke with a broad range of Iraqis, including artists, academics and people in the markets. She witnessed so much devastation, yet she was struck by the openness and kindness of the Iraqi people.

Shannon's footage from Iraq will be featured in the program, along with special guests: Anas Shallal, founder of the Iraqi-Americans for Peaceful Alternatives; Rania Masri, program director at the Institute for Southern Studies and one of the producers of the soon-to-be released documentary, 'About Baghdad'; and Peter Ambler from Public Citizen discussing his report investigating the failure of Bechtel -- one of the lead contractors in the country's reconstruction -- to provide adequate water services to Iraqi citizens.

FSTV is once again promoting "House Parties" – where dedicated viewers open their homes to family and friends to let them know about the kind of unique programming we offer. If you're interested in participating, please send an email to Outreach Director, Nancy McKenna at nancy-AT-freespeech.org so that we can not only offer support to House Party hosts, but so that we know how many folks around the country are participating in this grassroots effort to assist in expanding and strengthening our network.

At Free Speech TV, we want to engage concerned citizens in a public discourse about our future.

Organizer:

Pioneer Valley Vigil for Peace and Justice

The Sunday vigil was begun by local "Parents and Grandparents for Peace" on July 14, 1979, under the street-wide banner: "TOWARD GLOBAL NUCLEAR DISARMAMENT AND A VERIFIABLE US-USSR MORATORIUM ON NUCLEAR TESTING." The vigil has met every Sunday since, from 12 noon to 1 p.m., barring a couple of impossible blizzards. It has passed out thousands of leaflets on a great variety of issues under the slogan, "If You Want Peace, Work for Justice," and participants have varied from a dozen or so die-hard activists to fifty and more during the Gulf War.
