Ahead of G-8 summit, protests in high gear
By Peter Ford | Staff writer of The Christian Science Monitor
PARIS – Gleneagles, a luxury hotel set amid fabled golf links deep in the Scottish countryside, is a good place to get away from it all.
The Group of Eight (G-8) leaders of the world's most industrialized countries, however, will not find the resort its normal secluded self when they meet there for their annual summit Wednesday.
Wouldn't you know this comes out of Florida, paranoia capital of the US:
Wi-Fi cloaks a new breed of intruder
Though wireless mooching is preventable, it often goes undetected.

Hi Ricardo,
yesterday the Frankfurt court convicted Andreas-Thomas
Vogel, domain-owner of libertad.de. The court considered the virtual
sit-in as 'extreme violence by electronic pulses'. We have a fine of 900 euros and, additionally, the costs of the court case to pay. The
application of the constitutional right to demonstration was denied.

On the telephone, artist Wolfgang Staehle stated that I should get out of the house, that we all should get out of the house. ‘It is a kind of exercise.’ He suggested a small gathering at 149 Ludlow. The ground floor was being prepped for a sound installation by THE THING residency artist Mukul Patel, and a table could be set centre to host 8 to 10 people, sipping on bouillabaisse.
It is a very grand idea, indeed, to have a dinner party and an installation simultaneously. I was there.

Southend-on-Sea
Estuary fisherman and what’s left of going to sea
A sage at the edge of the day
Short houses and large laughing as feet pound into stillness
Deciding upon a sweeter solace something smoother, completed with the brine of olives. Cockles and soft prawns defeating the distance of larger moments of precarity

Ice nightingales turning their gaze to take along the horizon for an exchange of the spirit,

This is not a letter of farewell. At times it is going to seem as if it is, that it is a farewell, but it is not. It is a letter of explanation. Well, that is what we shall attempt. This was originally going to go out as a communique, but we have chosen this form because, for good or for bad, when we have spoken with you we have almost always done so in this most personal tone.
There is news from the world of adult entertainment that is of big interest to Constitutional Rights. This really is no joke! I feel that Attorney General Gonzalez is trying to shut down blogs and internet free speech since the Downing Street Memos got internet publicity the "news" media ignored. For whatever the reason, Gonzalez is on the warpath against the adult websites and it is important to free speech for all to pay attention.
