![]() The Israeli army critically injures one Palestinian youth on the eastern side of Gaza city, and abducts scores of Palestinians in the West Bank, those stories and more coming up stay tuned.
A US air strike on a Somali village, thought to be the hideout of an al-Qaida cell, has left "many dead", reports said today.
The attack yesterday, by a heavily armed gunship, allegedly targeted Islamic radicals wanted for the 1998 bombings of US embassies in other African countries.

The US government sees the increasing violence in Iraq merely as a "new phase." Annan is convinced the Iraqi ques-tion can only be solved with the cooperation ofneighboring countries and the international community. The Iraqis them-selves must agree on distribution of oil- and tax revenues
A horrible article I found involving several US agencies and their obvious lack of concern for human lives... I was left speechless. It's a long article but please take the time to read it. Any thoughts? Also if you have any new information as to the current events of the story please share them. Thanks.
Yes, There is Apartheid in Israel
Jewish self-righteousness is taken for granted among ourselves to such an extent that we fail to see what's right in front of our eyes. It's simply inconceivable that the ultimate victims, the Jews, can carry out evil deeds. Nevertheless, the state of Israel practises its own, quite violent, form of Apartheid with the native Palestinian population.

Is the Bush Administration Planning a Nuclear Holocaust?
Will the US launch "Mini-nukes" against Iran in Retaliation for Tehran's "Non-compliance"? ![]()
Most Americans believe that Bush's Iraqi misadventure is over. The occupation has lost the support of the electorate, the Congress, the generals and the troops. The Democrats are sitting back waiting for Bush to come to terms with reality. They don't want to be accused of losing the war by forcing Bush out of Iraq. There are no more troops to commit, and when the "surge" fails, Bush will have no recourse but to withdraw. A little longer, everyone figures, and the senseless killing will be over.

The two top congressional Democratic leaders have publicly opposed the Bush administration's plans to dispatch more troops to Iraq, while signaling to the White House that there will be no serious effort to prevent an escalation of the slaughter as the bloodbath in Iraq heads towards its fifth year.
The two-faced character of the Democratic posture is the product of their need to speak to two audiences at the same time: the American voters, largely working class and middle class, who voted for Democratic candidates last November 7 to express their opposition to the war; and the American ruling elite, whose social and economic interests, within the US and worldwide, the Democratic Party is committed to defend.
Waving the flags and talking about we're all one didn't change any of that. That agenda of the destruction of the black community is still in place by those operatives that they represent. And so I know what my struggle is. It's against a system of white supremacy and domination that they symbolize. Now unfortunately you got the symbols and the manifestations on both sides of the political arena, Democrats and Republicans....Waving the flags and talking about we're all one didn't change any of that.

In 2003 the United States and the European Union established a "temporary" agreement for the transfer of personal information on European travelers entering that will expire in July of 2007. An earlier agreement had been annulled by the European Court of Justice. A new agreement is being established to allow the free flow of all personal information of travelers both leaving and coming in to the U.S. This new agreement comes all too "coincidently" with the newly issued micro chipped passports.

This was just given as 'breaking news'
Here's a bet that the GW Bush regime plans to ask the US taxpayers to support a troop 'surge' in Iraq to 'finish the job' as GW so eloquently puts it. Finish what job, Halliburton reconstruction of infrastructure to extract Iraq's petroleum and sell on the market to highest bidder??
After the great success we had at the last event it has been decided to schedule another workshop.
Children riding on school buses are exposed to high levels of cancer-causing pollutants, due to the old diesel buses. Many scientific organizations, activists, etc., have joined the push to clean up school buses...The first steps in this cleaner school bus awareness campaign are: 1) Replacement of the oldest fleet buses, 2) Retrofitting of the older models, and 3) Anti-idling policies. These 3 steps can help reduce pollution *while* improving kids' health...
Interview with Gregory Elich about his new book, 'Strange Liberators:
Militarism, Mayhem, and the Pursuit of Profit'
Here are some recent reports that you may
have missed because of the Holidays or the corporate media's censoring of this information.
In the context of increasing troop resistance to the war both on the ground in Iraq and on military bases at home, as well as growing public discontent with the Bush administration's handling of the war, it is a vital time for returning vets to share their experiences. As the death toll for both American troops and Iraq civilians climbs, and each month is labeled the "deadliest" since the March 2003 invasion, returning vets have an increasingly important perspective to give on the urgency of changing policy in Iraq.
Dennis Kucinich is basing his campaign for the presidency in 2008 on one simple reality: THERE IS A NEW AMERICAN MAJORITY!
Yes, the times, they are changing! And the changes can mean either disaster or opportunity -- depending on how we, the people, respond to them! "Nothing is so powerful as an idea whose time has come."
Dennis Kucinich has detailed a proposal for bringing the troops home NOW and for stabilizing Iraq!
A report in yesterday's London-based Sunday Times revealed that the Israeli military has been training to use tactical nuclear weapons against Iran's uranium enrichment plant at Natanz and other nuclear facilities. Based on several Israeli military sources, the article said two air force squadrons were involved, with the preparations being overseen by air force commander Major General Eliezer Shkedi.
Israeli officials were quick to disparage the report. Foreign ministry spokesman Mark Regev "formally denied" the claim and restated the official stance that Israeli was committed to a diplomatic solution and supported last month's UN Security Council resolution imposing sanctions on Iran. Top government and military figures have repeatedly warned, however, that Israel would not allow Tehran to develop nuclear weapons.

still fighting crime here in Mississippi.
Canadian foreign policy used to be based on hypocrisy. Canada's leaders have always seen themselves, and presented themselves, as men of the West, involved in the wars the West was involved in, including colonial wars. But Canada has also tried to present itself as a country without a colonial history, an honest broker and peacekeeper that has, and deserves, the trust of the world....In 1993, the Canadian Airborne Regiment was sent to Somalia. Here, too, Canada went with the US. The US was there to "Restore Hope", and killed several hundred (or was it several thousand) Somalis in the process, before leaving ignominiously. Canada went along to support the mission....
My first full realization of homelessness hit as I was waking up shivering one cold, damp and foggy November morning in 1991. The pain in my lower back was excruciating not to mention the numbness in my legs and feet. I was attempting to raise myself to a seated position in response to pleas from my two little daughters crying out, "Mommy, I'm hungry," and, "Will we find a house today?" I'm not sure which pain paralyzed me more, the pain that immobilized my lower body from lying in a contorted position all night long, with one eye open (being too afraid to sleep), or the pain and fear that gripped my heart as I looked into the eyes of the most precious things in this world to me, my two innocent little daughters. How do you explain to a child (let alone two of them), they are homeless? Furthermore, how do you get them to understand that mommy doesn't know when we'll have a home again, because we are broke; and, every shelter in town is full.

... and no unified voice of protest coming from Portland. My grief at the lives lost is equalled by my grief at a democracy - in my beloved city - that can not even unite behind preventing loss of life!
The weakness of God is stronger than men (1 Cor 1,25). The soft will overcome the hard (Lao-Tse).. What is usually regarded as important in the world fades into insignificance. Here tenderness is subversion! The last becomes first and the first becomes last.

The question: Is polyamory the activist response to the trend toward failed monogamous relationships in our end of empire capitalist culture?
My good friend wrote us a year-end letter that included this critique of his former employment with DHS Child Welfare. He has done social work all his life, really believed in it and struggled heroically to do right for the people involved, especially the children. He finally bailed when he developed severe anxiety issues. We were so impressed with what he wrote that we asked him if we could publicize it and he agreed.
Rise up.
Afraid to take a stand on a single critical issue facing the nation, Democrats risk becoming irrelevant as a party.
Below is an earlier post on Bush land purchases in Paraguay. More recently it was reported that Bush W. and older Bush now own about 2% of Paraguay, rivaling Nazi war criminals from WWII who also took refuge there.

The corrupted corporate media defiles the spirit of Tom Paine
"The blacks from the low income areas are less likely to convict. There's a resentment for law enforcement and a resentment for authority....you don't want those people on your jury, let's face it."
Today's die-in, while smaller than organizers had hoped, was attended by many and was quite successful. Many people wandering through the square stopped to watch and even joined in, and corporate media filmed and interviewed people. However, there was a counter-protest at the end that I wanted to address here.
Since the elimination of habeas corpus in September Guantanamo detainees have no legal avenues available to them. Several of these detainees are being defended by lawyers in Portland whose hands are now tied. We have been working in concert with these lawyers and have developed a way to get a grass-roots movement going around this issue. Please visit www.projecthamad.org to meet Adel Hamad and learn more.
