Early example of a NET STRIKE (1998...i think we -EDT - even have one
from as early as 1996 ) the email that gave EDT the idea for the
Zapatista FloodNet (which i posted on an net.art list (eyebeam) and

               Cyberpower For Peace In Chiapas: Action Alert
               -----------------------------------------------

          CALL FOR VIRTUAL SIT-INS AT
          FIVE MEXICO FINANCIAL
          WEB SITES

          The following call for a NETSTRIKE FOR ZAPATA on Thursday, January 29,
          comes from the Anonymous Digital Coalition in Italy. It calls for
          simultaneous world-wide virtual sit-ins at five Mexico City financial
          institution's web sites.

          Rarely have grassroots groups exercised cyberpower in this way. Clearly

          people in Italy are using their creativity and imagination. This is a
          unique opportunity to move into new terrain for coordinated world-wide
          action. Be part of what is probably the first globally coordinated
virtual
          sit-in!

          Below is the English version and includes correct information for all
time
          zones in North America. The original message from the Autonomous
Digital
          Coalition which includes Spanish and Italian versions can be found in
