At the end of their life, the best you can say about some folks is that they really didn't do much harm, or maybe they were nice to their kids. This week on "Indymedia Presents" we pay tribute to another fallen comrade. Jim Hinde, well known Seattle busker, passed away. Just about anybody who has spent much time in Seattle's open-air public market probably saw Jim playing at one time or another. He entertained, all right, but more to the point, he inspired and influenced many with his music. When we got word that Jim had passed, we made another death-defying trip into our archives and found an old piece of Jim Hinde performing live at a demonstration, singing his song "Raise Your Glass, Raise Your Voice." We raise our glass and dedicate this show to Jim Hinde. http://cdbaby.com/cd/hinde4 Public Access producers, community screeners, and IMCs (Independent Media Centers) are encouraged to screen or air "Indymedia Presents".

How does Kucinich see the presidential race? Is he interested in VP or a cabinet position? What's next for impeachment and what can citizens do? Why only 35 articles?

Information War - The Hactivists trailer Watch it here: http://www.joiningthedots.tv/main.aspx?level=&content=363778587&search=information Fire up your browser as we journey into cyberspace and beyond to meet the 'hacktivists' who may well be one click away from a virtual revolution in political activism. In the 'information war' of the new millennium, the first shots have already been fired. And the 'internet warriors' might be just one click away from a virtual revolution. So begins the story of The Hacktivists, a one-hour documentary which provides a cutting edge snapshot of cultural subversion at the dawn of the digital age. It explores the exponential growth in anti-capitalist activism around the world and the new modes of protest available via computers and the internet. It's a movement that's leaderless, global, anarchic and chaotic...the internet come to life! And it's coming soon to a website and a city near you. We meet the faces behind the groups behind the electronic protests designed to take capitalism offline. Theirs is a world where sit-ins have become 'virtual' and where negative publicity after an 'online attack' can send a company's shareprice plummeting or shatter the image of the target institution. We hear the killer story of the legendary Toy War of 1999, where a US$8 billion online toy corporation was crushed when tens of thousands of internet activists joined in a massive online 'swarm' in order to cripple its website and stop it doing business. The Hacktivists gets inside secret organisations like Electronic Disturbance Theatre, Electrohippies and Federation of Random Action. Their members go by avatars such as RE:no or Metac0m... their 'operations' have codenames like Mail-o-Matic or Digital Zapatismo. We unmask the key players in the international world of internet activism. Are they 'cyber terrorists' intent on breaking the law, as their detractors would have us believe, or are they indeed doing exactly what the politicians want and helping remove troublesome anti-globalisation protesters from the streets and into cyberspace where they can be easily ignored? The film plays out like a subtle detective story. Across four continents, the four main characters are revealed as planning an online protest for A20, the next fixture in the ongoing 'carnival against capitalism'...the Summit of the Americas meeting in Quebec City in April 2001. Prisons are being cleared and a second wall built around the old walled city as Canada prepares for it's biggest peacetime security operation. Canadian Nart Villeneuve is taking a bus from Toronto to be the 'eyes and ears' of the online protest. We see him retreating under a teargas attack while chatting live with his fellow hacktivists via his laptop and cellphone. French codeslinger Renaud Courvoisier offers up the latest version of his protest 'drawing tool' which sends a message to the target website with every stroke of the mouse. Paul Mobbs and his Electrohippies are masterminding the whole operation from an old farmhouse in Wales which is without hot water. But the 'cybersleuth' is on their trail. With the upsurge in web-based activism has come a promising new enterprise...internet intelligence agencies employed by big name companies to keep tabs on the hacktivists. Ben Venzke is a man at the top of his profession. 'Now you can sit halfway around the world and shut down a company's ability to operate on the other side of the world by clicking a couple of buttons.' Proving his point are the Quebec police, who admit to shutting down their website during the Summit in fear of Electrohippy attack. 'The fact that they were so easily intimidated by the potential of information attack is a real augury of the future,' says US defence analyst John Arquila. 'Hacktivism works and it will work even better as time goes by.'

Hi folks! If you couldn t make it or you did make it and want to relive it then this is the all inclusive video in under ten minutes of the whole Second annual Ken Gorman Memorial Marijuana Legalization rally in Denver Colorado. Thanks to everyone who showed up and especially those that let us put them on camera! It was a great event and the cops gave out only ten tickets and made no arrests. I actually have Denver Police on video walking through a crowd of pot smokers, ignoring them, to assist a girl who had passed out from heat and the huge crowd through out the day. There was a HUGE turn out!! I tried to get everyone in this video at least a little bit, but Please subscribe to see all the complete interviews, speeches, and the rest of the days events, and if I missed you, misidentified you, or otherwise just pissed you off, please feel free to contact me at cannabischorus@gmail.com. The music in the background is by my band the Cannabis Chorus and is available for download at Itunes. Peace and Good Karma to everyone involved with this fine four twenty Oh Eight in the Mile High City.
