 in the press Pittsburgh's Mellon Green finally unoccupied Bill Vidonic, Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, Thursday, February 9th, 2012 As Occupy Pittsburgh's Downtown encampment ended, several protesters kept an eye on law enforcement from a location suited more for the 1 percent they oppose than the 99 percent they support. Protesters Nigel Parry and Nathaniel Glosser said the group rented an 11th-floor room for two nights this week and expected to stay a third in the plush Omni William Penn Hotel overlooking the ragtag tent city at Mellon Green. Omni employees said the room cost around $250 a night. The group spent nearly the same amount on Monday for a room in the nearby Doubletree hotel.  The revolution will be televised, streamed and uploaded Amanda Lin Costa, European Journalism Centre, Thursday, January 26th, 2012 When I began writing this article, Global Revolution’s Brooklyn offices had just been raided by the New York Police Department (NYPD). Global Revolution has broadcasted live video from the Occupy Wall Street (OWS) protests since they began on September 17th, 2011. Within the first month, their live stream had served video to three million viewers according to Nigel Parry of Global Revolution. I spoke with Parry a few days after the raid, curious to know when Global Revolution would be back up and running. He informed me they had never stopped streaming. Their decentralized model had allowed them to continue offering live streams from around the world even after the raid. “In the end, we can do this from laptops connected to the Internet from anywhere around the world. The Global Revolution is unstoppable,” Parry said. Living our Lives project: Nigel Parry Patrick Young, LivingOurLives.net, Friday, January 13th, 2012 Nigel Parry talks about his work in Palestine and around the world helping people impacted by conflict tell their own stories when the corporate media won’t. He tells us about his work with the Global Revolution collective which helped project the Occupy Movement in the early days streaming live from Zuccotti Park. 'It's All Political': Eviction and Arrests of Global Revolution Livestreamers Part of Pattern of Crackdowns on Alternative Living Kristen Gwynne, AlterNet, Wednesday, January 4th, 2012 Nigel Parry, an independent media pioneer and Global Revolution affiliate, said he is not one to believe that the NYPD is always out to shut down media, but added “They definitely targeted the media in Zuccotti Park. That's why they do this code violation bullshit. It seems completely unrelated and reasonable -- they're worried about health and safety.” Both inhabitants of 13 Thames and Liberty Square, as well as occupations around the country, were forced out of their spaces under the official, bogus pretext of health concerns (Look at Occupy Oakland -- are tear gas, flash bang grenades, and rubber bullets not more physically damaging than mass cohabitation?). Occupy Livestream Operators Will Be Homeless After They Get Out of Jail Adam Martin, The Atlantic Wire, Wednesday, January 4th, 2012 Some of the six people arrested on Tuesday for violating a New York City order to vacate a building where the Global Revolution live stream is produced actually live there and won't be able to return once they're released from jail, which is expected sometime Wednesday afternoon.* One of the live stream's key organizers, Vlad Teichberg, is a resident of 13 Thames St., the Bushwick, Brooklyn space that had recently served as the headquarters of Occupy Wall Street live feed aggregator Globalrevolution.tv. He and five other residents-cum-volunteers are still in police custody after they were hauled in for trespassing, obstructing governmental administration, and resisting arrest, Global Revolution organizer Nigel Parry told The Atlantic Wire on Wednesday. Off the grid: Occupy Pittsburgh gets charged up the natural way Darlene White Natale, Point Park News Service, Sunday, November 6th, 2011 Alternative energy like the bike and a solar panel are part of the green theme that is associated with the Occupy Movement. The camp of activists has tapped into a growing experimental field for generating electric power in places that are typically off the grid. “If you ride the bike for an hour, you get 5 hours of laptop usage,” said Nigel Parry, 43, a web designer and publicist as well as an Occupy Pittsburgh volunteer. He said cell phone charging requires a minimal draw, and thus a shorter ride. #OccupyPGH Day 1: Interview with Global Revolution's Nigel Parry Eric Byler, Coffee Party, Saturday, October 15th, 2011 Coffee Party's Eric Byler caught up with Nigel Parry of Global Revolution — a network of volunteer technology wiz kids who are outfitting various Occupy camps with wi-fi, power generators, and live streaming capability. In this interview Nigel explains why it was necessary to create media channels that were controlled by People rather than really, really, really rich people, and speculates about what that mean for America and for the globe. |
