I have been an independent, 'progressive' journalist for about a decade now, after having worked in both the US and Canadian corporate media for 15 years. I'm happy to report that I now work for a public broadcaster. I became an "activist" while researching a screenplay in which I attempted to examine the main factors underlying the Madness of the world in which we live.

I enjoyed the veritable Renaissance of unhindered web activism and organization, before the Plants arrived, circa 2000. I first became aware of this meddling when I stumbled upon an article on the global Independent Media Centre website attributed to Russian film-maker, Sergei Eisenstein, which questioned who I am (by name), and made several false statements about me.

I became a critic of the Israeli Government after I made an off-handed comment about a specific Israeli policy in one of my articles, and was similarly attacked as an "antisemite" by supporters of the Israeli Government - who always seem to 'know just a bit too much' about me. Since then, I seem to have attracted a Plant, which pops up wherever I go on the web. At first, I found this very off-putting, but now, I look at it as an affirmation that what I'm doing is having an effect, and scares the SH*T out of the right people!

"Free Gaza Is A Cool Idea"
Regev's statement is an attempt to 'poo-poo" the group, and downplay the fact that its successes have hilighted the illegality and illegitimacy of Israel's policy. His reference to the "Taliban" - the media's term for the entire Afghan Resistance - plays on the public's mistaken belief that Afghanistan is a "just war", as opposed to just a war, motivated by the self-interest and arrogance of its architects.
