Breaking news: Italian MP, Sgarbi denounces the Statistical Fraud on COVID-19. The speech of the Member of Parliament Vittorio Sgarbi in the session of the Italian Camera, Meeting no. 331 of Friday 24, April, 2020. Vittorio Sgarbi, denounces the closure of 60% of the businesses for 25,000 COVID-19 Deaths, of which the National Institute of Health says 96.3% died NOT of COVID-19 but of other pathologies. That means only 925 have died of the virus. 24,075 have died of other things.2004-10-19T13:56:05+00:00Indymedia Irelandimc-ireland@lists.indymedia.iehttp://www.indymedia.ie/atomfullposts?story_id=67091http://www.indymedia.ie/graphics/feedlogo.gif.http://www.indymedia.ie/article/67091#comment897252004-10-19T13:56:05+00:00seedot..I didn't go to the ESF........http://www.indymedia.ie/article/67091#comment897322004-10-19T14:53:55+00:00I didn't go to the ESFso I really appreciate this report.

I think the idea is a little archaic, and is really just used as a tool for publicity, general awareness of issues, recruiting new members etc...<br />
When the left as a whole get involved in something it generally has been proven not to work ?<br />
From this report we can assume it's the same old sectarian hurdles people can't jump, as far as I can see this leads to a hierarchical use of social forums by the various usual suspects!<br />

It’s almost a surreal, eerie silence across the media that has made me question if the event really happened at all! An official sponsor, the UK Guardian newspaper, has had little or no follow up coverage to it. The UK indymedia site has in turn fallen silent on the topic. I suppose I expected the esf to spark debate and activity, and to be a catalyst for action. This must surely be the aim of activists following so much theory and debate. But unfortunately if that was a central aim of the esf, then it has plainly fallen short of that goal. It just shows the gap that can emerge between expectation and reality.<br />
<br />
I arrived at the esf in Alexander palace on Saturday afternoon fresh off a Ryanair flight from Dublin. My purpose for going was three-fold. Firstly, having been involved in the anti-war movement in Ireland I saw the esf as a potential site for advancing this cause. Secondly, as Noam Chomsky has pointed out in recent writings, the “second world super power” (after the US) is now the global community. The esf, as a subset of the world social forum, has at least the potential to mobilise that community to play a constructive role in resetting the global agenda in the interest of all of humanity, and not just in the interests of narrow private elites. Finally, I came to the esf in London because I wanted a concrete, lived experience of resistance, solidarity and liberation, to learn through action. Whether I found that or not I didn’t know in advance. But I guessed this might be a good place to look.<br />
<br />
Well, I was both rewarded and disappointed. I was rewarded mainly because the esf has potential, not because of what the esf is today, but rather what it could become. The main venue, Alexander palace, was overflowing with information stands representing a broad spectrum of NGOs, left parties, and trade unions. That all these groups are gathered under one roof in 2004 is both significant and necessary if we are serious about advancing social and environmental change that benefits the majority of the world’s people. And there is a convergence of ideas and interests emerging here. I don’t wish to seem to be papering over the cracks between reformists and revolutionaries in all their shades; real and substantive ideological differences exist. But if these differences are to be thrashed out then this must surely be the kind of place to advance that work constructively.<br />
<br />
I was disappointed for much the same reasons the author of this piece draws our attention to. Although there was a very diverse and inclusive polyphony of voices and perspectives available in London last weekend, the cross pollination and engagement of ideas and policy leading to actions seemed to be lacking. The event was wonderfully decentered, but it was at the same time rendered benign and inert in a way that I don’t believe the organisers wanted it to be. After all, those of us involved in activism want to see constructive, consensual action arising out of an event like this.<br />
<br />
It is ironic that the French philosopher Derrida should have died last week. His work very powerfully decentered the hither-to authoritative narrative of western civilisation. This has opened us up to otherness, difference and fringe narratives in new and fruitful ways that we are still exploring and we are indebted to him for this. However, as one writer on his obituary pointed out, Derrida’s radical philosophy left him no basis for grounding a political philosophy that could lead to action. Between Derrida and the esf we need to engage with each other and our world and somehow hammer out some common political philosophy. The elites that are driving neo-liberalism and a global war fought at various levels on ordinary people openly have a pragmatic political philosophy and engagement with the world. And it is becoming more and more patently clear that this is not in global communities interests. We’ve gotten this far, we now need to move towards the next step; full engagement of ideas and debate, and a willingness to participate in joint power and action.<br />
<br />
Otherwise the esf will become just another talking shop. It will become another pressure valve in the system, useful for blowing off steam and dissipating dissent with disappointment, and not actually doing what it was set up for: to challenge illegitimate power, injustice and narrow short-term interest where ever it is found.<br />
<br />
But I believe this commentary on the esf merits ending on a high note. The esf is young. It might be flawed, but it is in existence and it might not be but for the difficult organising work put into it to date. It has gotten us to a point where a spectrum of diverse groups working for social change are found under one roof, and are being (at least minimally) civil to one another. It has potential to be robust enough to contain diversity, tolerance and change; it must have this robustness. This, I believe, will be crucial in the years ahead. The best thing we can do now is look calmly at the as it is now esf, take stock, and build the wsf/esf to be the change we want to see in the time ahead.Some photos from the ESF, London 2004http://www.indymedia.ie/article/67091#comment897862004-10-19T18:55:09+00:00Indy Reporterbillhickslives2 at yahoo dot ieSome photos from the ESF, London 2004Some photos from the ESF, London 2004reports on esf in 'weekly worker'http://www.indymedia.ie/article/67091#comment898052004-10-19T23:52:09+00:00hsthe 'weekly worker' has been running articles on the esf in the months running u...the 'weekly worker' has been running articles on the esf in the months running up to it, questioning problems within the movement, democracy etc. It's got a couple of reports on the actual event in the latest issue.

Still I imagine it was an expensive weekend. You must have had a four zone travel card at least to get around Lahndin, and I notice that you did hoof it a bit. I'd like to know, maybe you'd leave a comment when the "relevant comments" have died down,-<br />
"what do you think of London?"<br />
Surely you didn't go from Wood Green to Camden to Middlesex university without forming impressions of interest to Irish readers of Lahndin. Are the people happier? Or are they still "grey-ish". Is there a palpable excitement in the air running up to christmas, or rather are they paranoid and scared of terror? Did you see a TASAR? Is the Graffiti good? What is the sound of the street now?<br />
Did you go to any parties? Is the Guinness still awful or has cold draught sorted that out?<br />
Did you catch mass? Are there really more people (just like Tony Blair) converting to the church of Rome? Did you cross the wonky footbridge? Did you see the Gherkin? Is King's Cross still full of junkies? Did you see a Pearly queen? Did you do the Lambeth Walk? Did you eat any chestnuts? Did you see squirrels? Did you see rats? Did you see pigeons? Are you contagious now?<br />
My local quality newspaper celebrating its 10,000 issue (with some pride) [and still a bit left-ish] referred to the event as "the left of the left of the left of Europe met in London and argued about how many people marched". Is that fair? <br />
Would you recommend London as a holiday destination? Was the ryanair flight comfortable? How about the transfer from the airport? Was that convenient and quick? Did you have difficulty recognising the coinage and using Sterling money? Did you try and use Euros? Did you send any emails or faxes from a BT kiosk? Did you send any postcards? Why didn't you send any postcards?AMARC- global radio networkhttp://www.indymedia.ie/article/67091#comment898612004-10-20T16:07:22+00:00dunkAMARC

<br />
I was v. interested in your view that the ESF was young and could evolve into something.` Unfortunately I came away with the opposing view - that it has regressed, at least from the view I had formed of the origins of the process. I felt that much of what was missing had been there in the past but had now splintered off and both (all) strands were weaker as a result. <br />
<br />
I think my argument goes something like this.<br />
<br />
When I go to something I will carry with me my vision for open and free media. I think this is the way the world should be - a strong part of my vision for the other world which is possible. Through working on something like Indymedia I try and create that world in this one. Then I go to the ESF and find that, either consciously or unconsciously, it has been established in such a way as to be more restrictive of access to an open and free media than the world I am leaving behind. I could not get access to an Internet connection in Alexander Palace, either paid or free. I did not have the right to take photographs. I did not have the right to refuse being filmed by others. The only type of information available was dead tree based - no videos, audio or other media. <br />
<br />
So the ESF was worse than the world I left to go there - not least because the project I am involved in exists in the current world but for whatever reason, it and all the concepts it stood for were excluded from the ESF. And it wasn't always thus. Freedom of information and movement were trends that were in the social forum movement before, but are now going to their own places. This example was repeated in many areas such as food, meeting structure, security, staffing etc.<br />
<br />
This analysis is obviously colored by my involvement in a particular movement that was excluded from the ESF. From the outside, did what you attend feel different in structure or form from other political meetings you have attended? Did any of the vitality and newness of, for example, the RTS party you attended exhibit itself in Alexander Palace? When you mention the 'polyphony of voices' in your report is this a reference to the language people were speaking or was there a range of narratives present as well - and any more so than you would find in a broad political movement / industry conference?<br />
<br />
Can I end by quoting the Clown Army who, I think, have so much guidance to give:<br />
<br />
You could be part of a fighting force armed with ruthless love and fully trained in the ancient art of clowning and non-violent direct action.<br />
<br />
You could learn ingeniously stupid tactics that baffle the powerful.<br />
<br />
You could uncover your inner clown and discover the subversive freedom of fooling.<br />

<br />
on ISF website C. reported that a small ESF feedback meeting happened on wed 20th. I would have liked to attend but was not informed about it. <br />
ive responded about that issue here<br />
<a href="http://www.irishsocialforum.org/newswire.php?story_id=42#comment11">http://www.irishsocialforum.org/newswire.php?story_id=42#comment11</a><br />
<br />
so far there is little or no direct feedback about or from ISF. this is unfortunate, the forum itself finished without enough time for feedback, far more the previous year. <br />
<br />
so anyway, <br />
<br />
feedback is an essential part of healthy open living sytesms, so i would have liked to attend this meeting but there was no mention of it on indymedia, no mention of it here, on irish social forum website.<br />
<br />
i signed up to the IAWM site to recieve info and to see what they were informing that network about, recieved nothing about it. <br />
<br />
there was no mention of the ISF on the last mail i recieved from IAWM but there was a lot on the ESF, i responded to them questioning why there was no mention of ISF, a request that they would inform their network about it and my view, along with most peoples (given half the chance to make it) that building strong local links was the key to bettering global issues etc, which is the reason for developing ISF in the first place. since then i have not recieved any mail from IAWM, perhaps i was struck from the list?<br />
<br />
along with this, during ISF while questioning IAWM people about this divide, they stated that they had 200-300 people going to ISF, where were these hundreds for the ISF, did they even know about it?<br />
<br />
as stated many times, there are obviously massive problems between the different sides but can we please grow up and get over them.<br />
please?IMC UK (united kollectives) ESF Newsblast #1http://www.indymedia.ie/article/67091#comment902252004-10-22T19:27:12+00:00imc'ista_______________________________________________

FOLLOWING CONTROVERSY<br />
<br />
A letter condemning the takeover of the ESF stage in protest against the lack of democracy of the ESF organsing process was published in the Guardian. It accuses protesters of being white anarchists, denies that the intervention had anything to do with the ESF process and implies a racial attack. Here are some of the letters and exchanges:<br />
