Public invited to Pioneer Courthouse, 700 SW 6th Avenue, on Monday, December 4 at 9:00 a.m.
Leaving a bachelor party at a club in Queens, on the day of his wedding 11/25, groom is killed and two others critically wounded (one with 11 bullets) in slug riddled car--a spray of 50 bullets (that we know of)--some into homes and a transit station. "Veteran" officer fires two full magazines of 31 bullets. Police "investigating" (i.e. getting story together), which is emerging that club had a narcotics background and cops were on stakeout, wanted to prevent an armed altercation (!???)

A recent news report detailing the effects of Globalisation - western economic/military expansionism by any other name - and the explosion of organised criminal activity in the Balkans was aired today on ABC Radio Australia. The primary item of interest dealt with the negative impact that Western Europe, including the UK, is experiencing as a result of the activities of Albanian, Turkish, Bosnian, Bulgarian and Serbian criminal syndicates. According to the report NATO's intervention and the subsequent elimination of traditional regulatory forces and authorities in the region has facilitated the "explosion".
The Mexican federal government forces are NOW entering full force into the city of Oaxaca. There are many arrests and firearms injuries.

Despite the bitter cold, hundreds of thousands once again filled the massive Zocalo Square in the Mexican capital on Monday, November 20th. They were there to participate in the ceremony of the swearing in of Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador (AMLO), of the left wing PRD, as the legitimate president of Mexico, in a clear act of rejection of the electoral fraud which robbed him of his victory in the July 2nd presidential elections.
This was the continuation of a protest movement which saw millions take to the streets for a period of three months and which culminated in a National Democratic Convention (CND) on September 16th where more than one million delegates decided not to recognise the official results of the presidential elections and to declare AMLO as the only legitimate president of the country.
This is a shorter "reader-friendly" essay review of German author Michael Schiffmann's explosive new book on Mumia Abu-Jamal featured at  http://www.dissidentvoice.org/Nov06/Bennett24.htm based on my exclusive reading of the English language version (not yet published in the US) and an extensive interview, which is the only public English language resource that documents the many new facts and original ballistics analysis presented in the German book. This version features several accompanying graphics.

Update
Black death-row prisoner Mumia Abu-Jamal's battle in court heats up as case is now on fast track with public hearings set to begin by Hans Bennett "Our objective is to win a new and fair trial in this case. At the conclusion of the retrial I want my client to walk out of the courtroom a free person." On October 23, attorney Robert R. Bryan (attorney for death-row prisoner Mumia Abu-Jamal) filed the 4th Step Reply Brief with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit, Philadelphia. Because this should be the last round of reply briefs, Bryan estimates that the public hearing of arguments should begin within three months. After the hearing, the panel of judges will then decide whether to grant Abu-Jamal a new trial.
