[g8-sheffield] Re: g8-sheffield Digest, Vol 3, Issue 14

Thu May 12 13:01:17 BST 2005

I have just rung the police to confirm that there will also be an exclusion zone somewhere around the Marriot Hotel. Don't know yet how extensive. I have emailed Nether Edge people to suggest we organise a public meeting. Now waiting for responses.

Not sure if I will make it back to Sheffield in time for tonight's 
meeting. In case I don't, I'm happy to get onto contacting people 
(I was thinking of starting with WOMBLES in London) to see if 
they'd be willing to come and do counterconference things, so if 
it's cool, I'll get on with that myself and report back when I've 
got anything tangible.

Was anyone at the autonomous events in London around the social 
forum a while back? It might be an idea to get onto some of those 
people to come along.

dan has e mailed me of list.. in basic he states my comments was negative.. well
idd agree.. but dan raised the very q.. something we do need to think about.. no
it was not an attack.. there is a lot of people doing good work.. who i like and
respect..

there are others who are just there for a good time and a fight with the
police.. nothing wrong with either.. there is no good no bad protest both have
there place.. however idd argue very strongly for non violace.. very much
against the use of drink and drugs and yes i can be come intolrant at times.. i
have no right to imapact my perspective onto others..

but i will disagree.. i feel very stong on the rape of this earth.. the
explotation of the workig class of this earth.. there my motavation.. i hope i
walk this path in example to my very strong opersition to the evryday rape of
our earth our mothere. hope i do not subdegate others because of there social
status..

but anger is an enegry and i hope i use mine to a poastive.. on monday i was
half jokeing for a banner reading make paterarchey materharchy.. we have lost
contact with our earth our mother.. now ask if you was to rape your mother as
we do our earth then you would expect shit back.. this earth is in crises..
that crises is ourselfs our lifestyle.. idd argue very strongly for the
abalition of civalistion.. the start of this makeing people aware of the g8..
the link with g8 and the imf.. the very topics on there agenda.. are not about
stoping the rape of earth our mother but for them to continue..

take a walk while spring is in bloom.. feel her omnepresence.. stop to look at
the sky.. go on a hug a tree.. take of your footware feel the earth under your
feet.. go naked in the lake of morehall.. make love at the side of a river.. we
are killing all of this.. thats why i desire a mass movement.. any one for a
walk?

if someone could text me a contact number that I can use to 
find/contact you guys, that would be ace.

My number is 07949 675 311.

apologies for cross-posting - and please forward!

Technopolis - unravelling the net of technological domination
*********************************************
Three days of learning, discussion and games to explore new technologies of
control and resitance to them
Evening of Thursday 9th - evening of Sunday 12th June
Leeds, West Yorkshire
*********************************************
www.technopolis.org.uk 
*********************************************
Out of Control....
Welcome to the machine! The machine is all around us, omnipresent and
omniscient. It's the camera on the street corner, the chip in your debit
card and the number given to your child at birth. The machine is without and
within. It's in the way we have been trained and domesticated since birth to
fit into a mechanical world dictated by capital and the tick, tick, tick of
its clock.

Those who want to increase control and domination over our lives have
invented increasingly pervasive technologies. >From biotech to nanotech,
through RFID, gait analysis and new 'non lethal' weapons to aid crowd
control: they are all further attempts to quantify and standardise our
lives. We see these 'new technologies of control' as part of a wider project
of a new wave of enclosure by capital.

We are calling this gathering in order to discuss and analyse the
implications of these new technologies of control, alongside potential
responses of resistance that do not merely fall into playing out stock
responses and fulfilling the role of 'loyal opposition'.

TOPICS for DISCUSSION
Nanotechnology
Biometric, RFID chips, gait analysis, etc.
The GM battle and other struggles against encroaching technologies
Architectures of control
Prison technologies
CCTV tour
Psychologies of control
Technology, capital and class

LOCATION - to be announced.
Venue details will be available from the website and on 07913 216260 from 12
noon on Tuesday 7th June

ACCOMMODATION & FOOD
Crash accommodation available, vegan food will be provided for as little as
we can afford. Probably between £6/E9 and £12/E18 for the whole thing.

PREPARATION
Suggested reading materials are linked from the website, more suggestions
welcome on the discussion board.

Morning..This morning i had brekfrost at the very exallant blue moon cafe St
james street.. So why is this important?.. Well nick one of the owners half
joked then become serious.. He informed me there was to be a exclusion zone on
the 15-16 of june. He showed me a copy of a letter form the home office.The
letter has asked for them to close on the eve of the 15-16 as there will be an
exclusion zone.. I have asked nick to come to our next meeting.. He will talk
with his staff and the other owner bill.. To sourt out comeing to the next
meeting and giveing us a copy of the letter.. I feel it would be good to see
and ask other cafes etc what there feelings are.. Gather some kind of articall
and image for indymedia.. Then press relese this artical to other media.. Ill
be more than happy to do this.. But something i did not have the oppertunaty to
say last night was this.. I have been active and involved in fighting a proposed
demolition of social hoseing in sheffield city centre.. The oweners of this
social hoseing has asked for planning to knock down.. There is time deadline on
this of the 26th may.. So ill be distracted with this.. As this is a long
outstanding commitmant etc.. More than happy to keep on with my task.. Ill
speak with my crew and see what there feelings are about doing an articall on
the exclusion zone.. I feel it is btter we take on this task as we live work
and play in the city centre and know a load of people who i can speak to.. Can
people reply in the next 24 hours if thay feel this is cool etc.. Then ill get
on with the task..

Kind regards
Mozaz..
