Elliot K's Article Blog

i'm a
frequent australian Indymedia hack and a volunteer editor/admin. on Wikinews i attempt to research and publish at least one story per day - dependent upon time restraints and distractions.

i also present and produce a weekly independent non-corporate news and information program on local community public radio in perth, wa - i report various local perth, western australia, national, oceania. i cover global grass-roots participatory events, news items and actions.

the wikinews australian portal is my homepage.

today my focus is on deep respect for the biosphere, social justice, guerilla art, grass-roots participation, consensus and other shit.

i am 39yo.

i like no borders.

i am potentially anarchista.

i respect the Nyungar/Noongarland.

See this: i live in this country

i am currently studying web administration at TAFE.

i don't own or drive a car.

why
reasons to become the media, not hate it, like: "Copyright. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten, or redistributed."
 * 1) Corporate-owned media is an inherent greed-seeded hyperbole machine.
 * 2) Language and meme control commodified, homogenised and monopolised. exemplified by crap like this:
 * 1) The glaring reality of corporate mindshare, the insideous mental real estate boom.
 * 2) Globalised Monocultural Dominant Cultural meanings. Deny.
 * 3) Mindless capitalistic control of language and culture. Resist.
 * 4) Memes designed to never satisfy desire. Repeat Consumption. Cancer fetish.
 * 5) Intellectual Property Rights vs the sexiness of Open source and the freedom of ideas.
 * 6) People/country before profit. Many generational decision-making. Consensus.
 * 7) Advertising eats my face off in strips of energetic farce. Unwanted eye candy.
 * 8) Good men can't sit still in dark rooms. Not knowingly.
 * 9) Anyone is a journalist. innit. even you.
 * 10) Open Source art and science is my godhead
