Indymedia videographer Brad Will was recently killed in Oaxaca, while filming the People's struggles in that embattled Mexican city. IP #230 starts with the last thing Brad Will saw before dying. We bring you about 10 minutes of footage taken from his video camera. He was filming the moment he was shot. To keep this from being any more gruesome than it needs to be, there is no on-screen notice at the moment of impact. We bring you this footage as part of our commemorative to him–he died to get these shots–but also because it is exactly what we have always promised, "televising the revolution." This piece is grainy, it was transmitted by way of the internet, but profound. There are some interviews with citizens of Oaxaca, describing the terror they have been living with, and then Brad moves closer, to a battle between gun-toting thugs, and a community whose weapons are firecrackers and slingshots.

This presentation is startling in two respects:
First, it cites the top NASA climate scientist as saying that we have 10 years to SOLVE global warming, (not ten years to decide whether to do anything) or there will be irreversible changes that will lead to the hottest global temperatures in millions of years, and the die-off of 50% of the species on earth. Heavy stuff from the top guy at NASA, a fellow the Bush administration keeps trying to silence, but who apparently won't shut up. As Jack Nelson-Pallmeyer puts it, the danger is that we won't run out of oil soon enough to save the planet! But he points out that we are "fortunate" to live in the most pivotal moment in human history, that we still hav…
