By Invitation Only http://www.burojansen.nl/documenten/DenHaagConferentie.htm quote: INTERNET The Internet, an indispensable resource in the operations of banks, multinationals, and intelligence and security services, is also a lifeline for the anti-capitalists. Without the Internet, the global civil society. would not have grown into what it is now and it cannot function without it. The activists found one another on the Internet, they communicate With one another an the Internet, they organize their demonstrations and their protests violent or otherwise - on the Internet and they broadcast their own television footage.
