On January 26, 2012, the Industrial Workers of the World Club at Montana State University, the Northern Rockies Independent Media Network, and Occupy Bozeman held a screening of the movie Breaking the Spell, about the 1999 World Trade Organization protests in Seattle.
The event, held at Montana State, also featured Phil Knight, from Occupy Bozeman, who participated in the WTO protests. Phil shared both his experiences on the ground and talked about what the WTO protests were about. You can see his presentation in the video clip below (or listen to it in the provided audio clip).
Tonight's show featured a stimulating interview about Texas Statewide Walk for Choice, happening in Austin on 5/28/11, as well as audio of the protest against Pakistani nukes which was held earlier today (5/27) in Houston outside the Consulate of Pakistan.
Yesterday saw the first day of action against the false solutions being proposed by COP15, including the capitalist model. Thousands took to the streets of Copenhagen in Denmark under the chants, banners and action of "Our Climate, Not Your Business". As expected when thousands of angry youths mostly dressed in black take to the streets in an unauthorized demonstration the police prepare with their usual tools; Big cops, Riot cops, vans, dogs... But people were not expecting was to see big men in army fatigues wandering around the streets too.

On Jan 10,15,000 people marched in DC against the massacres in Gaza. Not one word in the Washington Post. Six days later, on Jan 16, protesters descended on the headquarters of the Washington Post, dumping several wheelbarrowloads of "defective merchandise" and shredding it to confetti!
