 scene of the electro hippies anti-twat action, anti-twat, anti the war against terrorism because of those has been portrayed as a war against terrorism it's really a war against the internet, a war against ordinary people networking together because all the anti-terrorism measures are now being introduced have very little to do with stopping terrorism. Arresting illegal aliens in a country doesn't make any difference when the people are there legally plotting plotting the little caper. Restricting the use of the internet makes absolutely no difference when the people who were using the internet were using their own systems the postal system the internet can't deliver and fracks the postal system can I think we have to get real about what the threat from terrorism is so what today is all about is marking the the twat the the war against terrorism and all its horrible effects under the new laws are now being presented to us. Secretary David Lunkid was heckled by his own backbenchers this afternoon as he introduced the government's tough anti-terrorist legislation. Imputies are angry that such a complex bill which severely curtailes the civil liberties of terrorist suspects will only to be debated for three days. This is a teepee. Why are we using a teepee? We wanted to do an outdoor action we wanted to get out here in the countryside we wanted to be somewhere very remote. Why? It can be done because certainly in the UK the rural areas haven't seen much of the information revolution they don't get broadband out here it's very difficult to get ISDN out here so by using this teepee in the middle of nowhere we're making a statement that even out here in the middle of nowhere you can be part of the information revolution you can be part of online communities and so we came here to prepare our action and to do all the work that day required to set up the anti-terror action. Then we had a little party and we invited all our supporters and friends and other electro hippies to come along and have a day of working together on the Afghan war problem and coming up with some solutions to it. Causing a huge range of measures some of which have previously been rejected by Parliament. There are powers to allow police access to inland revenue files for example, powers to force internet service providers to divulge information about what their clients have been up to, even powers to keep secret information about the movement of nuclear waste which Greenpeace argues could make it an offence to tell people waste trains were running through their area. Not quite compatible the argument goes with a specific response to a specific threat. On November the 14th the electro hippies arrived at Pink Glass. After sitting at the TP and wiring it to the power and the phone line we installed two computers into the TP, a desktop laptop to run the day's events. Then we welcomed people and they turned up for a day-long action against the Afghan war and the war against terrorism. I hear you've been very busy in Afghanistan recently. Oh yes, having a wonderful time, business is busy, busy, busy. And what do you put this down to the wonderful actions of the American government? Well, I would like to personally thank the American government for boosting business in what would normally be a pretty lean time. Thank you Mr. Deff. Thank you. But it's lined with human misery. This is the refugee crisis which the world hasn't seen yet. Thousands of tents stretching into the desert as far as the eye can see. The occupants are Afghan families who escaped drought, bombing and now the threat of more civil war. Unable to cross them to the relative comfort of Pakistan. Pakistan which is now under the control of anti-Taliban forces is still being attacked by American aircraft. This man told me the Taliban had gone long ago. We're in control now, he said. So why are our innocent people still being killed by the planes? Two days ago, six people including three teenage girls died in this house during nighttime bombing. Still shaking from the shock, Haji Gulam Hussain showed me the remains of the missile which has destroyed his family. It was clearly marked as an American-made missile. Are you an electric hippie? Can't start with a word. It's a simple question. Yeah, I'm an electric hippie. I don't know. It depends how you define an electric hippie, but I'm here, yeah. And what are we doing today? We're stopping the war. It's justice. All by the powerful against the powerless. It is a cusp in time when there is an opportunity for people to make a real difference. To have a planet for the future to live on. We must speak out. You cannot throw away justice. Because justice is what binds us all together. And without justice we have nothing. With this legislation, a rag bag of the most coercive measures that the best Mandarin minds from the Home Office can produce and which will be manna from heaven for any future or indeed present home secretary who wishes to establish a pleased state. David Blaine. There's been many themes running through today's action as well as the online protest against Afghanistan. We've also been looking at Linux software and how it can help people and having discussions about how Linux is the way to go for campaign groups. So we've come to the end of the day's actions. We now take all our material, we've developed during the day and we can put it online. And also the video. Let's look again at the video. Well, this is it. This is the end of the video. I think really this isn't really the end because over the next months and the next few years civil society faces an immense challenge from these new anti-terrorism laws that quite unjustly try and criminalise and marginalise certain types of protest action. Very legitimate types of protest action that involve going out into public spaces and doing something to demonstrate the iniquities and injustices that are perpetrated in our society. On line two, I think we have to work together to make sure that terrorism isn't used as a means of censorship or control of the wonderful freedom of communication between peoples that the internet represents.
