On one side of the planet jetliners fell skyscrapers, on the other
cruise missiles level villages. Bush and his boy Blair embark on the
last crusade and world dutifully subjugates itself to US supremacy -
you know this ain't intended as a temporary state of affairs.
Capitalism is in hyper-drive, the final buyout has begun. The world
is instructed to choose between one murdering billionaire (Bush) and
another (bin Laden). But, there are those who choose another way,
people who will not show fealty to any master, be it enshrined in a
bank vault, in the scriptures or on Pennsylvania Avenue. They are
wise to the masterplan. And, as the power brokers and strokers vie
for superiority in the air and on the airwaves, theya re ready to
whip the not-so-magic carpet of control away. Without recognition,
power is nothing. Without fear, freedom may just yet prevail...

CROWD BITES WOLF!

The Bank and Fund scuttle off to Prague, but a international army of
insurrection is waiting. Caught in the middle, one man finds his
anticipated fortnight on the piss shelved by a chance enounter... 23
mins

Also showing:

CAPITALS ILL - DK in DC!

As capitalism's demise draws closer, 20,000 take to the streets of

The scaffold is built, the basket is ready... 20 mins

BIG RATTLE IN SEATTLE!

23 mins of incitement and inspiration from the 30th November 1999

dissent finally draws a line in the sand. The time has come to

society based on real freedom... 23 mins

IMF and World Bank, taking place 16th - 19th September in Singapore.
