ParaScope Dispatch
Four: WTO Seattle: N30 The Final Edition of ParaScope Dispatch It's not every day that you get to see a revolution born. ParaScope Dispatch Four, the final issue of ParaScope's magazine, is a 40-page special edition featuring street-level coverage of the successful mass mobilization against the World Trade Organization which took place in Seattle on November 30, 1999, and the days following. Dispatch Four weaves together first-hand accounts, photographs, video stills, poetry and artwork to represent the revolutionary spirit that flooded downtown Seattle during N30. Also included is a transcript of a talk by media critic Norman Solomon on the mass media's reaction to the WTO protests. Did police use "non-lethal" nerve gas on protesters? Why did the police and media blame "black-hooded anarchists" while police were tear gassing and pepper spraying non-violent protesters and shooting them with rubber bullets? Why hasn't the media reported that the CN tear gas used by police contains a solvent that is classified as a DNA mutagen, potentially causing cancer, genetic damage and a range of devastating health effects?
