Aston Villa's ban on Maccabi Tel Aviv fans reeks of anti-Israel politics, not concerns over safety, argues Jack Watson, who says Birmingham officials and an MP with pro-Gaza ties have let prejudice trump fair play.

Victims of Imperialism Remembered at Columbus Day Vigil

category international | anti-war / imperialism | news report author Thursday October 13, 2005 01:17author by Robbie Sinnottauthor email robbiesin at gmail dot com Report this post to the editors

from Iroquois to Iraqi victims - more than 500 years

This 25 min mp3 soundscape can be heard directly on broadband by clicking
http://radio.indymedia.org/uploads/2004.10.11-columbusday.mp3

or right-click it to download on any connection.

It was recorded at the US Embassy, October 11th, 2004, to mark a fitting commemoration of Columbus Day and its significance.

The vigil was organised by the Pit Stop Ploughshares/Dublin Catholic Worker who are on trial at the Four Courts on october 24th 2004 for disarming a US navy plane in a non-violent action at Shannon Warport.

Sustained organisation of events such as this over the past three years show that the action against the warplanea was no stunt, but a logical direct action manifestation of consistent anti-war morality.

just like to comment that this is a great piece of soundscape. Feck the politics, I just liked it as a bit of sound and would recommend it (and other of Robbie's stuff) to anyone who likes the sound of life being lived with passion.

this article isn't/wasn't a repost. Like so many other articles, it is an account, no, a witness of an EVENT posting in retrospect or post facto.

Hope you enjoy/ed it with all its layers of meaning and non-time/space specific context.

I can't help thinking that if i'd shorn it of that context and just posted it, you would have had no cause of complaint.

The questioner's point was not unexpected, and with respect, it's a decision for the editors.

I'll give some reasons why it's news anyway.

* The Pit Stop Ploughshare Trial occurs on October 24th, 2005, and this is previously unbroadcast 'footage' of one of their actions.

* This wonderful clip (have you listened to it?) was only made freely available to everyone online yesterday. - Why now? I didn't have the means before.

* The news is undergoing a process of re-definition. If you decide that something is not news because of a time-lag, where do you draw the line?

* This is a first-hand 'report' with little mediation. It comes as close as possible to bringing the reader to that space and time.

* Finally, what do you think has changed re US Imperialism since this action a year ago. it was a fitting remembering of a beautiful act.

If i had written a delicate piece of prose on the same event, and published it under opinion/analysis, would that have been acceptable to you because it ads to indy's creative writing content.

Time lags could mean that potential documentaries for indymedia might not make it online for months after an event or series of interviews/events - does that diminish their worth?

If you limit news to knee-jerk accounts, no matter how well written, you lose lose contemplative beauty and make the site less colourful/more predictable.

the resonance of their action is undiminished a year later, as it is unheeded. It wasn't designed to be 'news', and yet, it was as newsworthy 500 years ago as it will be in 500 years time.

Having said that, I would have put this in the 'comments' section of the appropriate events notice and left it at that; but the report is timeless and the five who risk their freedom for others' lives go on trial on nine days.

Please tell me what's news?

Did you forget columbus day this year?
What is the point of reposting something a year later if it wasn't followed up? You could just have easily said -

Hi! folks it has been a year since the campaign against the water charges in Armagh and Down met at Buttercrane Shopping Centre at 5.30 p.m. to leaflet against charges, this is an ongoing campaign DONT FORGET!!!!
