Joe Biden Out in Apparent Palace Coup Mon Jul 22, 2024 17:30 | Eugyppius
Biden's team was still obliviously tweeting his resolve to fight on hours after he had decided to step down. So was the matter taken out of his hands? It has all the signs of an opportunistic palace coup, says Eugyppius.

Who Will Guard Us Against the Guardian?s ?Fact Checks?? Mon Jul 22, 2024 15:34 | David Craig
The Guardian has published a 'fact check' of Donald Trump's claims about inflation and immigration. Just one problem, says David Craig: the 'fact check' gets its facts wrong. Who will guard us against the Guardian?

Indymedia.ie has upped the limit and as 32bps means the introduction of a lot of compression artifact noise I'm reposting a 56kbs version which will be a lot better. I've also attempted to correctly link in the video someone tried to post above
Note to editors - the low quality version should probably be left in place as I suspect there are a fair few links elsewhere pointing at it

This is the last of the audio recordings from the 2009 Dublin anarchist bookfair and it is the 'What is anarchism' session. Two sessions were not recorded, the one on social centres as the workshop technique used for not sutable for audio recording and the one on sexual health as it would have had too big an effect on the questions people felt able to ask.
This 'What is anarchism' session was recorded using my backup gear, this along with the fact that it happened in a cordened off area of the bar meant the audio is unclear at times and in editing I had to remove a couple of contributions which could not be understood above the background noise,

The bookfair was great, so congratulations to everybody involved. The range of books was excellent and the stalls had lots of titles that would otherwise have been quite hard to locate in Dublin or anywhere else in Ireland. This was my first visit to the annual anarchist bookfair and I'll be back again as it is an important political, literary and cultural event in this country.
Comhgheardais daoibh!
Ashanti Alston is a former member of the Black Panther Party and Black Liberation Army member told us about his experiences, the lessons he draws from them and what he thought of revolutionary politics in Ireland.
Note - indymedia has a 20mb file size limit which means that the only way I could get this file up was to reduce the sampling rate to 32bit, most of the others here are 40 but really they should be at least 48.

This audio is of the session organised by the Irish Palestinian Solidarity Campaign. The speaker is Nidal Saadeh, a leftist Palestinian activist from Bethlehem in the West Bank.
Note - this was recorded with my back up equipment which isn't as good as my main recorder. The first minute or so of the audio is very indistinct but it improves after that.

Fair dues to everyone on this,it was fantastic
First time I ever went and i really felt a lot of sense was being spoken
Hopefully the economic downturn will help people wake up a little
Im not an anarchist and ive never seen indymedia. Ive never really thought about capitalism and all that but the bookfair was good and im glad i feel my eyes are pen now. im 16 and no one my age talks about this stuff. I used to think anarchists were crazy. I cant believe they are so different
The venue was spacious if a bit airless downstairs and good variety of stalls. I attended one talk which was interesting and people told me that the ex-Panther speaker's talk was very good. I had a headcold and some fever but was glad I dragged myself out. Well done to all concerned in the organisation and running of the event.
