10.19.00 Apologies for the absence. No time for the online lately.. So..In the past two monthe the Indy Media Center movement has expanded massively to represent progressive voices in every "hot spot" on the globe. The main IMC site has become a People's CNN. IMCs from Prague to Peoria are presenting news and movement coverage from the street, interpreted by activists, indy journalists, agitators, and your mom and dad. GO THERE EVERY DAY to get the lowdown on how this collective Infowar is challenging the hegemony of corporate-led mental mediocrity and status quo reality management. Amazing reports from Prague are now up.

VOTING NADER? YOU BETTER...* You will have one chance to vote your concience this November. The Vote-Nader site sucks aesthetically, but the info is there to help you decide who t o vote for this upcoming election... On Oct 23 check out Supersphere for the Nader rally video coverage from Chicago last Oct 10. * Some are saying that by voting for Nader you are voting for Bush. These cats say that by heping Bush win we may be responsible for ending the choice for an abortion, renewing a war on Gays and lesbians, allowing the top 10% of the wealthy americans to get 90% of the proposed tax relief, and calling for the furthur destruction of the environament... All good points.. What do you think? Lumpen's coverage on the Nader conundrum will hit the streets early november.
