Sen. Tom Coburn has had enough!
Cynthia McKinney, former congresswoman and one of the few principalled people in US congress attended a peace conference in Malaysia. In it she asks people to sign a petition www.petitiononline.com/Abstain/petition.html.
As Kofi Annan moves on to life after the U.N., it's important to look at the less-discussed "regime change" which the Bush Administration engineered with Annan's help. The outgoing Secretary-General's supporters argue he did what he could to register disapproval of the Iraq invasion, but in the case of Haiti, he actually helped facilitate a bloodthirsty imperial agenda.
Murtha's version of the next military spending bill — if it includes the Guantanamo provision — is meant to put anti-war Democrats in a bind. The public wants to close the Guantanamo prison, but they also want to end the Iraq deployment. In order to accomplish one goal, closing Guantanamo, anti-war Democrats are being told they must forego the greater goal of ending the Iraq deployment.
HIP - Port au Prince, Haiti — A Cite Soleil community activist, Samuel Leconte, was arrested at gunpoint by Brazilian soldiers on Jan. 18th and was turned over to the Haitian police. The first questions posed to Mr. Leconte by the UN were whether he has information connecting former political prisoner Annette Auguste, aka So An, and exiled president Aristide to large demonstrations in the seaside shanty town of Cite Soleil. While Mr. Leconte has responded that he has no such information and that the demonstrations are taken at the initiative of the community, the information Mr. Leconte does possess is eyewitness testimony of the killings executed by UN forces in his community on December 22. 2006.
Wisely, the soldiers who staff the Broadway recruiting center closed up shop and barred the windows today, girding their loins and steeling themselves against the grandmothers' bloc who took the sidewalks out front. The recruiters gave some kind of hasty excuse to explain their absence, but the truth was obvious: They simply recognized that they were outnumbered and facing superior forces. (No one but the Portland Police Bureau is usually foolish enough to mess with grandmothers.)

congratulations to Nazanin. some 350,000 signatures were gathered world wide to win her freedom..
executing women seems to be the regime's favorite sport. they have executed thousands like Nazanin and continue to do so unless the families of the victims are able to raise public awareness. Many of the women being executed have no voice. Nazanin is one of he few who do.
Upcoming conference will bring together survivors, victim's families, first responders, activists, researchers, filmmaskers, media personalities seeking accountability for the crime of the century.

This Week in Palestine, a service of the International Middle East Media Center, IMEMC.org, for February 2nd through February 9th, 2007.
Palestinian leaders sign a national unity agreement in Mecca, hoping to end the siege on the West Bank and Gaza Strip and bring an end to the factional infighting. Meanwhile, the state of Israel attracts international criticism and local outrage as it begins excavating near the Al-Aqsa mosque. These stories and more, coming up. Stay tuned.
Lula prefers that Meirelles stays but syntonized with him. The PT prefers to see Meirelles out. In the absence of Palocci, he guaranteed the depressive growth of the economy in the the last four years.
The thirty-year-old activist (and comrade of mine) was convicted of obstructing justice in December 2006. A BC Supreme Court judge refused to believe police endangered his life in a tree-sit one hundred and fifty feet off the ground. He is facing nine months in jail at his sentencing in February 2007.... "Even had someone died six years ago, it seems the courts would have found that it was our own fault."-- dennis zarelli
Technological Repression and the Paradigm of Zero Point (Free) Energy:
"...the District Attorney himself came to the courtroom three times that day, and sat in the audience while Dennis affirmed his deal with the judge. The DA's presence was so startling that the courtroom's bailiff told Dennis, "I have been a bailiff here for eight years, and I had never seen the DA in person before today. Now he comes here three times today for your case. Who are you?" .... "Mr. Big Time Attorney, soon after he took Dennis' case, hearing the unbelievable situations surrounding it, asked his FBI friends to look into what the intelligence world had on Dennis. His friends came back with something like, "Wow! Not only is there massive information in the FBI's files on Dennis, but it went to the CIA and beyond." Putting 5000 people into a stadium to talk about free energy gets attention in high places." This is an introduction to the writings of Wade Frazier (  http://www.ahealedplanet.net ) and the technological work of Dennis Lee and Better World Technologies. It is additionally an introduction to how much sustainability ideology, economics, and politics is falsely premised on assumptions of scarcity or energy running out. However, for zero point energy frameworks, free energy from everpresent vibrating particles on the quantum level, shows an abundance paradigm heavily repressed politically. It throws everything based on scarcity out the window. Dream up novel solutions. Read.

John Walters, Bush's Drug Czar and an avid proponent of imprisoning legal medical marijuana users, and taking financial aid dollars from college students suspected of minor drug crimes, will be speaking at the Union Gospel Mission TODAY to unveil his new drug policy. Can we get some action? I am getting myself down there ASAP. I do not know when the event is... let's give this criminal the type of welcome he deserves, and let him know that his policies of lies, fear, and imprisoning youth will not stand in Oregon.
Annual Event for Justice for Leonard Peltier, Saturday Feb 10 in Tacoma
Here is a list of some of what has been going on in Europe against this June's g8 summit in Germany
Empire-building is a blindness, delusion and false security. Since all people yearn for freedom and self-determination, imperial hubris is based on rewriting human nature and history, stylizing arrogance as a natural law and trashing international law and democratic empowerment.
This is to recognize the great young activists at Sandy High School who courageously - and cleverly - protested the recent inane changes to their school dress code.
The Civil Liberties Defense Center, American Constitution Society and the National Lawyers Guild are co-sponsoring a civil liberties film festival the evening of Friday, February 16, and all day Saturday,
February 17. Each film will have a short introduction, some by local civil rights attorneys and others by the filmmakers.
peltier march & rally. see below for pdx carpool info.
A little advice from someone who has been there...
"If I were to address a Democrat Theme Team equivalent, I would focus my effort on trying to impress them with the issue that will cost them political power down the road. This issue is Iran. While President Bush, a Republican, remains Commander in Chief, a Democrat-controlled Congress shares responsibility on war and peace from this point on. The conflict in Iraq, although ongoing, is a product of the Republican-controlled past. The looming conflict with Iran, however, will be assessed as a product of a Democrat-controlled present and future. If Iraq destroyed the Republican Party, Iran will destroy the Democrats."

we can keep him from his outrageously long jail sentence it will give new hope to victims of the dogma all over the world.
While at the Rally to support the noble actions of Lt. Watada on February 5, 2007, I interviewed a pro-war supporter who was conspicuously stationed near the overpass where all those who traveled between the rally and the vigil by the gates to Fort Lewis had to pass.
The mainstream media stations and federal/state agency staff are not helping to educate the public on climate change - which is being driven by greenhouse global warming. The media and government people continue to be negligent in their responsibilities to serve in the public interest for today and tomorrow.

Famed "Pentagon Papers" whistle blower Daniel Ellsberg spoke passionately about the need to impeach George W. Bush as a method for ending the Iraq War.
The award-winning author of the acclaimed HBO program, "The Wire," painted a grim picture of this country. David Simon said: "We're headed [towards] separate Americas." Speaking at Loyola College, in Baltimore, MD, on Feb. 6, 2007, he said that "unencumbered Capitalism has become our God." In our greedy society, Simon underscored: "Human are worth less, not more: less." He said America is going to be a "more brutish, cynical and divided place."
Using social networking site MySpace.com, the Battery Geeks are circulating a petition opposing New York Senator Carl Kruger's proposed legislation banning the use of all portable electronic devices in New York crosswalks. The I Walk, I Cross, iPod petition advocates education over legislation, reminding all pedestrians to exercise caution when crossing the street.
A first-hand report from the trial in Fort Lewis, Tacoma, Washington, another in the continuing series of historic trials of American military resisters to the Iraq War. Contrary to the current corporate spin, the judge was doing just the opposite of "protecting Lt. Watada's rights" by declaring a mistrial.
Rather, the judge did not want this case to go to any factfinder who had any chance of being fully informed of Lt. Watada's belief that the war in Iraq is illegal. For more on the Watada trial and other resisters, go to couragetoresist.org.

We can only imagine what Lt. Ehren Watada must have been feeling on February 5, 2007, the first day of his court martial for being the first commissioned officer to refuse deployment to Iraq. But he must have been heartened by the attendance at the rallies before the gates of Fort Lewis Washington where his "trial" was to be held.
Monday's rally at Ft. Lewis was full of energy and creativity.
The mistrial can only help, in my opinion.
