The MIM now consists of many independent cells, many of which have their own indendendent organs both online and off. MIM(Prisons) serves these documents as a service to and reference for the anti-imperialist movement worldwide.

   Sneakers (1992)

   Now that the Cold War is over, Amerika's surveillance capacities
   supposedly serve only to invade Amerikans' "privacy rights." One of
   this movie's catch-phrases is that there are "too many secrets." With
   Big Chill-like activist backgrounds, the hacker heros demonstrate
   the individualism of both the hacker world and the settler-left. The
   SNEAKERS collective shows that technology can be defeated by people
   if they are properly organized. After using their collective skills
   to steal a microchip for what they presume to be the NSA, they test
   the chip and find that "It's the codebreaker. No more secrets." The
   hacker's dream. They take money from the Republican Party and give
   it to liberal organizations. Whatever.
