Note the slashdot post is incorrect, only a server in the UK was seized.

indymedia is a source of alternative information.
as such it is a threat to the status quo.
indymedia provides news in context which is a rarity in mainstream news outlet.
if knowledge is power than we arm the rest with truthful knowledge which shall set us free.
my favorite tune of political activist marley is

"emancipate yourselves from mental slavery, none but ourselves can free our mind "

we would be wise to listen to his words

knowledge is free

no one is capable of forcing you to think of anything that you do not agree with

we need not resist a baseless accusation only
dismiss it.

now be independent and think for your SELF

You are SO busted. You think it matters where the fucking server is? Links to every other server? Taxpayers pissed about Indies using public university computers? Word is Out.
