The truth about indymedia Anonymous posters

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on Fri, 03/06/2011 - 9:55am

Alot of the Anonymous posters on indymedia originally had helped to set up the old anarchy BBS system & indymedia.org when it was first started a long time ago, did you know that it was Sydneysiders from Sydney who created the indymedia.org network on top of old anarchy based BBS Bulletin Board Systems. Indymedia used to be run from Lord st in St peters Sydney but now that building has been demolished & new tenants have moved in. Not to sure who runs the indymedia.org server anymore or where its mirrors are but a long time ago they used to be in Sydney.

Sydney Real Estate Rip off

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on Sun, 22/05/2011 - 11:32am

My parents paid $10 000 dollars for their house in Sydney, now the same or similar house in the same area costs a minimum of $1,000,000. This is known as the Real Estate Rip Off.

In a fair & equitable communist like world their is always zero inflation & this means that if I want to buy a house in the same area as my parents house I should be able to spend the same amount of money as my parents did, meaning I should only pay $10 000 for a house.

Opening of whale wars Sea Shepherd Antarctic campaign 2009/10 photo exhibition

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on Fri, 20/05/2011 - 4:47am

See: http://www.tapgallery.org.au/2011/05/whale-wars-photographic-exhibition-...

For 3 months Glenn Lockitch photographed the Sea Shepherd Antarctic Campaign 2009/2010 on board the Bob Barker, the new addition to the Sea Shepherd fleet. It was a highly successful campaign saving 528 whales and cost the Japanese whalers over $100 million.

Glenn met up with the Bob Barker, an ex-1950’s Norwegian whaling ship, in Mauritius where it was prepared for the epic journey down to the icy waters of Antarctica to stop whales being slaughtered in the name of ‘research’.

Sydney defend public housing rally

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on Wed, 18/05/2011 - 7:33pm

A protest organised by a local residents’ action "Hands off Glebe" to stop the demolition of public housing in Cowper St. The 15 buildings on the Cowper St site have the capacity to house 289 people but the former NSW Labor government decided to sell most of the land to private developers, with the remnant being earmarked for new public and so called affordable housing. The newly-elected Greens MP for Balmain, Jamie Parker, joined and addressed the protest. Workers on the site stopped work for the day in support.
