The wascally wabbits at CrimethInc. have two neat-o reports on the G20<\/a> shenanigans<\/a> in Pittsburgh:<\/p>\n

Breaking News from the Pittsburgh G20 Protests<\/a> &
\nG20 Mobilization: Preliminary Assessment<\/a><\/p>\n

In Battening Down the Hatches: Secret State Monitors Protest, Represses Dissent<\/a> (Antifascist Calling…, October 11, 2009), Tom Burghardt rudely sticks his big nose in where it’s not wanted, drawing further unwanted attention to the case of “Elliot Madison<\/a>, the 41-year-old anarchist arrested in Pittsburgh September 24 at the height of G20 protests”.<\/p>\n

\nTwitter Revolution<\/a>: when anarchists tweet, the state twembles!<\/p>\n

“It appears Twitter is playing an important role at a crucial time\u2026”
\n\u2014 P.J. Crowley, Assistant Secretary of State for Public Affairs<\/p>\n

We believe that now is a “crucial time”.<\/p>\n

We believe that resistance is important.<\/p>\n

We believe that new communications modes can have an “important role” to play.<\/p>\n

And we believe that this applies as much in the rest of the world as in Iran.<\/p>\n

Elliot Madison appeared to believe many of the same things. And the FBI believed that he should be stopped.<\/p>\n

You turned your twitter avatar green to show solidarity with the people of Iran.<\/p>\n

Now turn it red and black to show solidarity with the resistance movement in the USA.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

NOT BORED! done published an interview<\/a> with cheese-eating surrender monkey Claude Guillon on his hot new book Democratic Terrorization<\/em>.<\/p>\n

I hope his publisher remembers to send a copy to Glenn Beck<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Speaking of books…<\/p>\n

How to Make Trouble and Influence People<\/a><\/em><\/h2>\n

is a wonderful new book by some trouble-making bloke called Iain McIntyre, and is published by the redoubtable and not-at-all nervous Breakdown Press<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Launched in Newcastle at TINA<\/a> — where L kindly grabbed me a copy — it will be launched again, kicking and screaming, in Melbourne on THURSDAY the 5th NOVEMBER<\/strong> at the BELLA UNION BAR<\/a><\/strong> (Victorian Trades Hall, cnr Victoria and Lygon Streets) between the hours of 6 and 8pm.<\/p>\n

The book compiles tales of unconventional political dissent included in three previously-published pamphlets — How To Make Trouble And Influence People<\/em> (1996), How to Stop Whining and Start Living<\/em> (1998) and Revenge Of The Troublemaker<\/em> (2003) — and, as an EXTRA! ADDED! BONUS!<\/strong>, interviews with a number of pranksters, photos galore, and er, other stuff.<\/p>\n
