Trying to think about different, less oppressive ways to relate to these lands...

since we are settler/occupier/squatters on these stolen lands regardless of how we define, one good step for me is to think about how to not participate in the (un)real estate scam where people are taught to rent from banks, taught to believe that "buying" makes them better, more mature, more intelligent, of a higher class than those who rent from people who rent from banks. it is not possible to put a price on the upper crust of this planet. it is not possible to buy segments of this planet. we were born here. we do not own it. it takes care of us.

What is [squat!net]?

[squat!net] is an international internet magazine with main focus on squatted houses, car sites and other free spaces.

Different people, with different backgrounds (e.g. squatters, punks, hackers, etc.) try to work together and collect news and importent stuff on the squatter scene. Sure we're not able doing this alone - quite a lot of information is sent by our readers - yes, from YOU!

What's in here?

Sure our news area is the most frequented part of the server. But we also think, that the archive area, where you can find some books and introductions in squatting is very smart. Cool are our maps and the fotogalery (at the time only Berlin, so send us your pictures!).

Very important are our projects.

What do we *really* want?!

We don't really want an internet magazine -- We want squatted houses and freespaces everywhere and all the time. The current situation in europe is getting worse and worse - Perhaps we are able to inform you, or to motivate some people to join the squatter scene or to help us with our work ... etc.

Additional the internet becomes more and more an stupid ad-banner-blinking bullshit - we need some "other" informations.

The people have to know what's going on at the moment with encryption and other computerstuff. All this is changing our lives day by day. We have to care NOW - in a few years all this stuff will reign over us - if we are not able to smash their system.

Join us!

Like many internet magazines we have also the problem that we are to few people to care on all the stuff - so we are hardly looking for people joining our magazine.

But if you are lazy you can send us simple your news. We prefer receiving PGP-encrypted mail - for this you can use our PGP-JAVA Page, so all the things you write are encrypted.

On our contactpage you find our PGP-key and some other motivation infos.

if what you're reading here grips you, holds you, fascinates you, provokes you, emboldens you, pushes you, galvanizes you, discomfits you, tickles you, enrages you so much that you find yourself returning again and again...then link me.
