G8 Fighters : Melbourne Indymedia

In plain view of catastrophic climate crisis and a faltering international economy (running on unsupported credit) the future promises DISASTER on every level imaginable! In the face of overwhelming crises how would you imagine the majority of people would react, ‘shoulder to the grindstone’ to circumvent further disaster, immediate remedial action etc to ‘save the day’ – not so! The reality is social paralysis, alienation, hedonism, narcissism, DENIAL, but the overwhelming sense is HELPLESSNESS -- a most extraordinary substitute for the urgent need to ACT!

Pressured by artificially imposed debt burdens, the collapse of civilisation and the environment is just too much; quick a pill, a hit, the mirror, my hand, a fuck, the bottle, a ‘holy’ text BUT PLEASE, don’t ask me to take responsibility for my Life; just roll another one, unlike the other one, buddy, can you spare some lubricant!

Fortunately the above only applies to the majority – the sheeple, cannon fodder, slave force for the few, the very unbeautiful losers!

As for the rest, the strategists, hacker elites, crewz and activists, we salute you.

We are One

At the West Gate of the G8 summit a car carrying Russian delegates attempted to pass protesters. It was blockaded and damage was inflicted to the car.

First the car was blocked then people attempted to disable it. The wheels were deflated and exhaust was broken. Activists then opened the boot and removed the belongings of the delegate, just as the G8 removes the freedom and lives of those it claims to represent. Once the boot was open the car drove into people resulting in the windows of the car being smashed.

A few days a go the BBC reported that Tony Blair was "concerned" about the lack of democracy in Russia. The Russian government doesnt give a fuck if he is concerned or not. Hopefully they will listen to this act of resistance. The people are not happy with the governments actions, such as the recent repression of Gay Pride activists. We will resist. They are not welcome on our streets!

Yes, Kismo.

Peace IS becoming the rarest commodity on our planet.

have noticed you pulling things out of context and trying to create some sort of feeble right wing view -- don't bother Bucho -- the right has been in power for a decade and we know what it fuckin looks like -- now we FIGHT IT!

CAN'T UNDERSTAND IT, can you 'Sterlo'?

Good to see so much direct action happening at the G8 protests. Australians take note!
