March 28, 2010



It was a nice sunny afternoon in Olympia, a city with hippy atmosphere, so-called “progreesive” univeristies, drop out kids in the streets and high tense drug use problems…Our talk in Last Word bookshop [http://lastwordblog.blogspot.com/] about the Greek isurrectionary anarchist space and the social revolt in Greece created a meeting point for many different people expressing their questions and share with us their visions for political, social and cultural organizing.  The Anarchist space in Olympia is young and ready to blossom… Among them, the revolutionary artists from the hip-hop group Thought Crime Collective
 [ http://www.myspace.com/thoughtcrimecollective ], maybe one of the most important political hip hop bands on this planet today…Many people we met were participating in very interesting projects…The Free Radio Olympia is an unlicensed, direct action micropower radio station broadcasting at 100 watts on 98.5 FM in Olympia, Washington, Cascadia that have been on the air since March 2001.
