The Co-operation agenda - catching the big fish

Few important notes on what actions are necessary
to be taken in order to gain results.

What happended in Seattle can be seen as a new starting point for further actions and for a sustainable peoples movement, achieveably a growing movement which will gain a
powerposition on the global arena. For the moment it looks quite good: Seattle, Washington,
Prague and so on. And it continues to gather more and more people.

Idealism is the source of power, from which many, probably most of those who get involved in various actions stream their energy. This is the real centrifugal force.

On the long run, it is by all means necessary to update the strategy. In an ever changing battle-environment, rapid changes of the movement are crucial for its continuing fight.

There should be no doubts about the need of co-operation and co-ordination among various groups, movements, individuals etc. Regardless to the race, ethnic background, social
status or other specific differencies, there hasn`t been a battle won if the movement itself tries to distract other movements. Even worse: to rival against eachother. This will undoubtedly
lead to severe weaknesses in the movement. Not to mention the probability for a halt of actions on a large scale. Never mind the differences. It`s the idea that unites us. The infinite common goal.

Our common enemy the Big Brother is watching us from his watchtower relentlessly. Twentyfour hours a day.

There should be a great deal of attention paid to this securityhazard. And actions accordingly to be taken.

Only one part of the surveillance can be observed by the eye. Surveillance cameras are the ones that can be observed and the authorities in there various forms.

Crushing these cameras will have only a marginal effect since they will be replaced
with new, probably even more efficient ones. (Although its not a bad idea to wreck them.)
Larger cities are nowadays filled with surveillance cameras.

Internet has become the most important tool for collecting information and to display info for the public on coming events, actions and so forth. IMC is probably one of the best example of this.

Websites and e-mail traffic are being monitored by the authorities. Therefore should no one make the assumption that the communicationlines are clean.

If the authorities can track the location of the server, then you better watch out. For this reason, it is necessary to change the location from time to time and if possible, to split your server to smaller serverunits which are located in different places.

Be aware of traces that are left behind you each time you visit the internet. Your telephonenumber can be easily tracked. Snip-Snap.

You should use, if possible(make it possible) widespread cells from where it is secure to operate.

An action does`t always mean large crowds of peole at one place at the same time. One example: You will choose a suitable target, a company that is involved in some criminal measures. Human rights violations, childabuse, polluting, repressive means against the workforce, avoiding of taxpaying etc.

First you decide what you want to achieve. A large scale ad campaign(those so called
subverts) on the internet can offer a severe blow against the companys reputation.

This can have several effects on the company. If consumers decide to boycott this company,
as a result of the large scale exposured ad campaign, it will heavily effect the companys
future: lower turnover, shrinking net sales, closing of shops, a withdrawal from the scene.

If the companys(corporate) size is small, yet able to be recognized in the public,
this kind of action might work. There are several examples of succesfully accomplished actions, campaigns.

Usually a smaller or mediumsized company is more vulnerable for these kind of actions,
because it will have an effect almost instantly. The big corporates like Shell, McDonalds,
Nike etc. are less vulnerable because of their global strategy. These franchises are
spread like small cells all over the world.

YOU PROBABLY WANT TO CATCH
THE BIG FISH...

First question: how are these giant corporate machines fueled?

The answer: The Stockexchanges around the world function as their fuelpads. If you can blockade the ways to the fuelpads or in some other way get control over the fuelpads,
you will get these machines on their knees. The money is their fuel. It is the source of
power for these corporate machines.

Remember what happened in europe about a year ago. Those wild oilblockades created by truckers and ordinary people halted most of the traffic all over westeurope. Highways were
stucked with cars and other vehicles. The same goes to Stockexchanges. Down goes Mr.Jones.

These actions combined with tasks against there propagandamachinery, their advertisement units that keep the machine going and the fuel burning, will in an unpredictable time and unquestionably have large scale effects on these companies and their ability to operate on the global arena.

Yours Sincerely,
The Co-operation agenda

Le collectif CMAQ, qui gère la validation des contributions sur le Indymedia-Québec, n'endosse aucunement les propos et ne juge pas de la véracité des informations. Ce sont les commentaires des Internautes, comme vous, qui servent à évaluer la qualité de l'information. Nous avons néanmoins une Politique éditoriale , qui essentiellement demande que les contributions portent sur une question d'émancipation et ne proviennent pas de médias commerciaux.

This is an alternative media using open publishing. The CMAQ collective, who validates the posts submitted on the Indymedia-Quebec, does not endorse in any way the opinions and statements and does not judge if the information is correct or true.
