I've seen hundreds of FTAA postings, but not one of them said what FTAA stood for. Then I saw one saying that it was Free Trade Area of Americas, which I suspect is close enough to the truth; thus I posted my FTAA article at 11:31 AM 4/14/01 on www.indymedia.org.. If worldwide Indy Media is not available to you over there, access might be being blocked by the "Storm Troopers of America" or others of their ilk in your neighborhood, for I suspect that the same sinister design revealed in "Supreme "Narky" of the United States" (9:12 AM 4/3/01) and referenced articles may be at work in the United Kingdom and throughout the world. Accessing of older articles on www.indymedia.org. might be speeded up by estimating the number of days that you wish to go back, multiplying by three, changing the page=# on the address bar, and pressing Enter. If you ignore the flood of trivia and profanity that has deluged Indy Media since I have been on it, you will probably find that seeking out these writings is well-worth your time.
