China has cancelled Christmas in Hong Kong this year. Officials have ordered that the usual celebrations be 'toned down'. It's part of a creeping intolerance that leaves churches fearing for the future, says John MacNab.

''We certainly don't have the resources that the major networks have but they left this enormous vacuum as they act simply as a megaphone for those in power and leave out the majority of people in the United States, not to mention the world.... Just after September 11th we began broadcasting on television and the show took off.

Open Question: How do you make Independent Media sustainable?

Amy asked: 'We have something called Public Access TV in the United States - I don't know if you have it?'

The answer is, not yet - But it's coming and it needs your support. Check out Dublin Community Television: DCTV.ie

Also see NEAR FM community radio.

We went from a couple of dozen community radio stations in the United States to now broadcasting on over 300 Pacifica stations, National Public Radio stations, and we have something called Public Access TV in the United States - I don't know if you have it - .... you can make your own media.... we [the show] on television stations in communities all over the country.... and we have satellite networks - Dish Network and DirectTV and we broadcast on them to independent channels, FreeSpeechTV and also LinkTV.

And then we video and audiostream it on DemocracyNow.org where you can get any program we have ever done - you can watch it or you can listen to it and we put up complete transcripts. We are also making it available to stations all over the world and if any station in Ireland wants to broadcast it - it is available in MP3 format and you are certainly welcome to it and can have it for free.

We believe it is absolutely critical to have an Independent Media offer daily grassroots, independent, unembeded, international news hour - and everyplace we broadcast we then have people responding by saying 'cover this in our community!' and that is what a grassroots international newscast sounds like.

It's based on local voices that deal with global issues.''

Listen to Amy Goodman continue to speak on Iraq, East Timor, Aceh, Haiti, and much more....

national / crime and justice Friday January 28, 2005 01:10 by indy analyst (strictly freudian)

Considering his series of more and more hysterical outbursts I laid him out on the virtual indymedia couch to get to the bottom of the origin of his various neuroses and particularly his extreme symptoms of projection. Here are the suppressed memories that I uncovered. I feel the analysis has been a success and I believe that the various memories unearthed are the source of the unresolved unconscious guilt which is the ultimate source for the extreme symptoms of projection and hysteria the patient is exhibiting.

UPDATE: ALL CHARGES DROPPED IN COURT TODAY 27/1/05

"Our politicians should be reminded that the killing of one Iraqi person is as much a crime as the killing of Jean McConville"

The 27th January 2005 is the 60th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz. A minority of German people, and others, perpetrated the Holocaust but the majority contributed indirectly by their silence. Since 20 March 2004, over 100,000 innocent Iraqis have been killed in an illegal war. The people of Ireland have been complicit in these deaths because we allowed the US military to use Shannon Airport, as a vital part of its war logistics.

On the 27th January 2005, the Shannon boat people, Edward Horgan, Aron Baker and Eibhlin ni Hir, go on trial in Ennis Co Clare, for protesting against this illegal use of Shannon airport. They were arrested during the Bush visit in June 2004, in a small rowing-boat, while peacefully protesting on the river Shannon. They could face a large fine or imprisonment. It took the combined forces of the Irish Navy, the Gardai, the Irish Air Corps, the Shannon Foynes Harbour Authority, with a US warship standing off Irish territorial waters, to arrest this fearsome trio, who were armed with a protest sign saying "Bush Go Home".

This protest was their way of breaking the silence of complicity. Please help publicise the ongoing abuse of Shannon airport, and the killing of innocents in Iraq, by contacting your local media, politicians, and other contacts. During 2004, 158,549 heavily armed US troops passed through Shannon airport, on their way to the war and occupation of Iraq, and we allowed this to happen. It was the likes of this that made the Holocaust possible.

We three appreciate your support, but it is not we who need support, it is the people of Iraq. They also need your peaceful actions to deny Shannon Airport to US troops and munitions. Our politicians should be reminded that the killing of one Iraqi person is as much a crime as the killing of Jean McConville. The killing of 100,000 Iraqis is 100,000 crimes against humanity.

Edward Horgan.

national / rights, freedoms and repression Monday January 24, 2005 19:10 by Pastor Niemoller

Funding for the Community Workers Co-Operative (CWC) has been withdrawn. In a brazen and cynical move by Ministers Eamonmn O Cuiv and Noel Ahern, the coalition government have moved into an even more extreme right wing position by silencing this alternative voice which has distinguished itself with its honest and direct analysis of Irish social and economic issues, from a community development perspective.

The Community Workers Co-Operative was founded in the early 1980s by a group of community activists supported by academics who were committed to social change, and who saw little evidence of government commitment to tackle poverty and inequality. This writer joined the organisation at a time when Ireland's action against poverty and inequality had been marked by the first Combat Poverty Programme. Older readers will remember how these projects were dotted around Ireland, and how they challenged local and national structures and practices which perpetuated powerlessness.
