Filed under magazine | Tags: · activism, debt, economy, money, occupy movement, politics, protest, theory
“We believe we can’t have radical action without radical thought.
Tidal offers theory and strategy as a means of empowering occupiers, whether actual or potential, to envision actions that ultimately transforms existing power structures.
In Tidal, theory means an assumption based on limited information or knowledge. Strategy means the art of devising or employing plans or stratagems towards a goal. Action means this. This moment; This struggle. many voices. history. and process. collectively, imagine.
We are an ongoing horizontal conversation among those who have spent most of their lives thinking about this moment, and the people in the Occupy Movement that are making decisions every day about its future. Aware that ability is a privilege, Tidal endeavors to offer challenging ideas in language that’s accessible to the common person. We hope these writings positively impact the Occupy Movement, propel it forward and clarify its goals.” (Editorial statement)

TEL (Telephone Electronics Line), 1-7 (1974-1975)
Filed under magazine | Tags: · hacking, technology, telephone
“TEL (Telephone Electronics Line) was a small publication that was dedicated to phone phreaking and hacking. It began publishing in November 1974. TEL was similar to TAP but was geared totally toward phone phreaking. In 1975, Pacific Telephone & Telegraph won a lawsuit against the publishers of TEL. The Superior Court of California, County L.A. court ordered TEL to stop publishing immediately. Though never challenged in court, this was truly a violation of First Amendment rights. A letter was mailed to all subscribers advising them to destroy all back issues of TEL. TEL ceased publishing after only 7 issues.”
