Pictured above is the ultra-talented Radio-Active.

"The Whole World is Watching"
As heard in late November 1999 in the streets of Seattle.
Seattle FCC Hearing:
Listen Now on Reclaim the Media!
"March 7's FCC Hearing on media ownership and the companion event Shaping the Media Landscape of Seattle attracted a participating audience of around 350.
Over 800 turned out that evening for The Future of Media: Action for Media Democracy.
The overwhelmingly anti-consolidation character of public comments is making a strong impression on FCC decisionmakers, and may turn the tide of this debate as hearings continue.
Listen now to streaming recordings from these Media Democracy events on Seattle. "

On 3/16/2003 an American woman in Gaza protesting the occupation was murdered after being run over by an Israeli bulldozer. Witnesses said Rachel Corey, from the state of Washington, was trying to stop a bulldozer from tearing down a building in Rafah, Palestine. A witness,Greg Schnabel, 28, from Chicago, said: "[Rachel Corey] waved for the bulldozer to stop. She fell down and the bulldozer kept going. We yelled 'stop, stop,' and the bulldozer didn't stop at all. It had completely run over her and then it reversed and ran back over her."
It was nice hearing live music on the streets.
I encourage more people and bands to entertain us as we march for peace. Thank You!

I wonder if the Police/Military/Prision/Industrial/Complex is building files on 4 year-old activists?
Martin Sheen's first arrest for civil disobedience came for protesting "Star Wars" along with Father Daniel Barrigan.

Direct Action to Prevent War on March 5, 2003 in San Francisco with Warren Langley:
"Most of my life I've followed the rules," said Warren Langley, a retired Air Force colonel and former president of the Pacific Stock Exchange ,who said he represented the Establishment. "But this is so important I had to get out of my comfort zone." Langley was among those arrested later in the morning. "There are a lot of people just like me. This is the heart of democracy," he continued. "We're going to make it hurt here" if Bush continues his drive to war.

New Anarchist Anti-War Site
Anarchists have been pushing radical, class war politics in the growing anti-war movement. Black blocs and anarchist contingents have been popping up in every major city and in many small towns across the world. This site is intended to encourage communication, resource-sharing and discussion about strategy and tactics among groups and individuals trying to radicalize the anti-war movement, in anti-capitalist, anti-authoritarian directions.
Please contribute your news, pamphlets, posters, contact info and ideas so they can be made available to everyone.

THE LOVEPARADE HISTORY
"It all started in 1989 when a couple of crazy technofreaks walked behind an old vw-bus together absorbing loud bases coming from the open back doors.
"Friede - Freude -Eierkuchen" (peace happiness and cookies) was the motto and nobody seemed to be aware of the size this event would be 10 years later and what giant impact it would have on german and global musicculture."
