Alexander Technique and Non-violent direct action

This is a 20 minute podcast interview by Robert Rickover, a fellow teacher of Alexander Technique in Lincoln, Nebraska. If wanted, I can hold workshops for AT as part of occupy.  There are many areas where AT can improve the effectiveness of activists.

January 18th Day of action in the US against SOPA

In case you didn't hear about the latest legal moves to prevent democracy in the US, it's called SOPA and has the potential to destroy the internet as we know it. Besides a blackout on the internet (sites no one knows will show black for reasons no one understands... just kidding), maybe some information can help to illustrate why SOPA will help to fill Australian private prisons with citizens. http://bit.ly/w1jkbLSee More

Occupations of the occupy movement

It's long after the 'get a job' phase of the occupation of public space. For more than three months now, the local occupation had its ups and downs, yet is still swinging. 'Job' is quite a terrible word, and 'work' is mostly simiarly ill reputed. Gen Y and Z just love to chill and watch the world go by.Of course, generalisations are generally wrong, and before I get accused of ageism I want to point out that I met revolutionary work horses of all ages, as well as incapable people. The level of…See More

The rabbit hole

Posted on January 8, 2012 at 2:05 0 Comments

Finding people that want an evolution of the way we act on this planet means they will start out as revolutioners. In Melbourne, like in many other places, the revolution started 'officially' on October 15th. 80 days or so in this amazing social experiment, it just so survived Australia's christmas trance.

Sheltered by an Australian celebrity priest, Father Bob, a small core of people kept a leaderless movement alive. Rage quitting, impatience, burn out and frustration were…

Hello Lutz

My name is Christian Fuchs, I am professor at Uppsala University and chair of the European Sociological Association's Research Network for Communications and Media Research.


What is the role of social media like Occupii, Facebook and Twitter in occupations and protests? Was the Arab spring a "Twitter and Facebook" revolution? How does the Occupy movement use social media? Is it a social media movement or something different?

We are a group of researchers at Uppsala University in Sweden that is headed by me and that is keen to find out answers to these questions. Therefore we conduct the OccupyMedia! Survey. We invite some users of Occupii  to participate in it, and were therefore happy if you could take 15 minutes time in order to help us find out what role social media play in contemporary protests:

https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/WG7JRG2

If you have any more questions about the survey, please contact us. If you do not find time to participate or simply find such surveys not interesting or annoying, then please simply ignore our request and excuse any inconvenience. Thanks a lot!

Further information about social media research and the background of this survey can be found in this article:

http://occupynewsnetwork.co.uk/why-social-media-research-matters-for-occupy/

If you find this survey a good idea, then we are happy if you can also tell others about it.

Best, Christian Fuchs

The Importance Of Reverse Phone Lookup.

Posted by Valentin Stokes on May 3, 2013 at 13:27 0 Comments

phone number search

The first three digits of the phone number would also help them locate the owner of the phone number. The thing is that if they had just run a phone number lookup, they could have found each other! Before you get any ideas, let me tell you that these sites are perfectly legal and also offer their services free of cost. This happens to many different people all over the world and many of them don't know how they can identify these pranksters. It's extremely… Continue

We are supposed to be in this together!

Posted by Nette Mom on April 26, 2013 at 20:55 0 Comments

I was just endiing a campaign in Michigan against our Governor, and wondered what more was out there, what more can I do to help make my country the place I used to love, when I stumbled across a thing called Livestream, where people with the same purpose (supposedly) or like mindness could come together, chat, discuss, plan, and act and I was to say the least, excited. I started chatting and made so many friends and it was then I realized, that I had been wrapped up in my own small…
