Aihe: [Badgirlz-list] ASCII stands against eviction - free software needs /home]
From: [FackLabList]

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

The ASCII squat, a free public internet space run by
hackers and
activists in Amsterdam, is getting evicted at this
moment by the local
police.

ASCII was set up recycling old computers and using
only free software
(GNU GPL) to bring broader access to technology for
the populace.
ASCII is a collective of free and autonomous thinkers,
technically and
politically aware hackers and free software
developers.

The current location of ASCII, Kinkerstraat 92, is not
the first nor
the last place where hackers struggle for redemption
from merchantile
agendas speculating on technology and its
accessibility by the
populace.

The right to comunicate is everyone's good and
software implements it!

Stand now in solidarity with ASCII, because free
software needs /home!

Raise consciousness! This small eviction reflects a
larger wave of
repression operated by western NATO regimes, the
recent FBI raid on
Indymedia online servers is a serious signal of the
current crackdown
on
freedom of speech. As of today there are no clear
legal motivations for
this action of censorship affecting more than 20
different countries.

But for us the motivation is clear: the capitalist
regime brought to
its
extreme consequences is revealing all its intrinsic
violence and its
logics of prevarication by silencing any critical
voice opposing it.

We will keep on struggling for the right to think
differently, act
differently and compute differently from the way
corporations and
fascist state governors are trying to impose us.

And if necessary we will compile our last lines of
sourcecode on the
barricades.

in solidarity with all those who resist.
