⌚ Sat 22 July 2000  ☻Various Panelists, Dave Neal (reading)

Download Hour1 Download Hour2Since the WTO protests in Seattle, the issue of property destruction as a protest tactic has been in the national spotlight. We look at how police departments and other officials have issued a variety of statements, and engaged in surveillance and raids on activist premises under the guise of suppressing the potential for property destruction.

In our first hour, we broadcast a roundtable discussion on nonviolence and property destruction, originally broadcast on public access TV in Eugene, Oregon, in reference to recent actions of sabotage against biotech labs in New York, Maine and California. (For more on "midnight gardening" see Canadian Biotech Action Network). Then a report on police brutality against anti-biotech activists in Minneapolis, an interview with Matt Ruben of the R2K network about upcoming protests at the Republican Convention, and reading of Starving the Advertisers by Dave Neal of Anarchy for Anybody.
