We hold these truths to be self-evident: That all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights; that, among these, are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness; that, to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the government; and, whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it.
His name: Lt. Col William H. Steele, Commander, 451st MP Detention Detachment
The primary charge was based upon allowing detainees to use a cell phone to make unmonitored calls. He has beeen held in Kuwait, pending invetigation for about a month but articles just today appeared, of course mostly in foreign press. Only a breif announcement in AP appeared, with very little information. I notified Courage to Resist to look into the possibility of helping him with his defense. Also, it seems that several senion military officer have announced that they paln to resign if our pResident attacks Iraq, and yesterday British Navy sources said that they were going to resume ship boardings in the Gulf. But those are other stories...
We all know the terrifying statistics: a million species extinct by 2050, 19 of the 20 hottest years on record since 1980, Greenland and Antarctica melting, droughts, floods, famines ... the G8 have had over 30 years to address climate change and only succeeded in providing trillions in subsidies to the very industries that are destroying our planet and our future.
I have seen a call for National Impeachment Rallies on Sat. 28th. is anything going on in Portland?
hundreds have been arrested in round ups by the "moral" police as the purge of leftist and western leaning students continues.

"Think about that contrast: 1,052 subpoenas to the Clinton Administration and Democratic targets compared to just 5 subpoenas to the Bush Administration."

What are scenarios you can think of if and when a national ID becomes mandatory (as reports are already saying for 2008)? What kind of creativity might you engage in to wake people up to the realities of *any* situation you're interested in? This little peice uses a creative angle to *wake people up* about the realities of a national ID, called "ordering pizza in 2010"

Last night, I heard the plaintive barking of a far-off sea lion, somewhere down by the river. Usually, I love that sound. It reminds me that there are still wild beings left in the world, despite the best efforts of the worst of humans. And it connects me to the seasons. I know when I hear the sea lions, that the salmon are surging in the river, and the eagles and the osprey are gliding in the skies. Usually, when I hear the sea lions, the skies are full of geese and swans, either coming or going at the beginning or the ending of the warmer seasons.
Oregon Senate Bill 672 will require traps to be checked every 24 hours. This will significantly reduce the suffering of trapped animals. It's a step in the right direction.

"This true story is recounted in ''Buying the War,'' a blistering indictment of how journalists failed in the months before the Iraq war. This gutsy program is essential viewing for explaining how punditry often overshadows journalism on television."

Oregon Live reports that Schumacher Furs is being evicted
A tree is more than lumber or a national symbol. A plea for a radical aesthetic relation to nature. Analogously technology is more than an egg-beater. Technology is a worldview so the weaver becomes the web.. The car has the function of a sacred cow for us.
Three Tibetan independence activists, including one Tibetan-American, were detained by Chinese authorities today after demonstrating and unfurling a banner reading "One World, One Dream, Free Tibet 2008" in English, and "Free Tibet" written in Tibetan and Chinese, at Mount Everest's main base camp in Tibet. A videographer was also detained.
A short history of cascadia, from a hobbits point of view.
The fundamental premise is that only evil lays outside of the central farthings of cascadia.
The FDA under Bush and his New World Order administration wants to take vitamins and herbal remedies off the counter and require a prescription from a doctor to get them. No more educating yourself about how woeful our Recommended Daily Allowance of vitamins and minerals really is and doing what is necessary to stay healthy. If the FDA gets its way, you will have to see an establishment doctor, trained in establishment medice, to get big pharma drugs.
Majorities Want US Forces Out of Islamic Countries
And Approve of Attacks on US Troops Large Majorities Agree With Many Goals of Al Qaeda But Oppose Attacks on Civilians Most Support Enhancing Role of Islam in Their Society, But Also Favor Globalization and Democracy
For reasons too numerous to cite, I weep as I write this piece. Today is the highly emotive, for Aussies and Kiwis, ANZAC day - a day of remembrance and commemoration for those who desperately seek a national identity in a modern alienated society. There is NOTHING whatsoever to glorify in War. WAR is the lowest form of human expression; those who glorify it deserve our unrelenting critical attention. Those who attempt to exploit highly emotive and largely mythologised events deserve to be questioned, what are their real intentions?

The US Defense Security Cooperation Agency has notified Congress of Israel's request for 3,500 MK-84 general purpose bomb units, which are 2,000 pound bomb bodies.
4 new subpoenas will be considered tomorrow by the House Committee on Oversight and Reform. Their central theme is the mishandling of information by the White House, at times in clear violation of federal law. A summary...
National Health Care, a popular cause in the face of rising health care costs, would and should require an adjustable scale for benefits or co-pay premiums. Likewise, even a continuation of privatized health care with some socialized benefit program for all Americans, should reflect risk from individual behavior.

PacifiCorp's dams continue to kill salmon and in turn Native people and their traditions, year after year. This rally is being held in solidarity with the Tribal members who are traveling to Omaha Nebraska to hold a healing ceremony for the Klamath River at PacifiCorp's parent company Birkshire Hathaway's share holders meeting (owned by billionaire Warren Buffet). Not everyone could make it to Omaha, so we're showing support for our friends and family by going straight to PacifiCorp's headquarters and demanding that they take responsibility for the disaster they've created on the river.
After hearing the sworn testimony of Pat Tillman's brother, Kevin Tillman, I've come to the folowing conclusions:
1. Pat Tillman did NOT die of "friendly fire" nor was he a victim of "fratricide". 2. Kevin Tillman is a marked man 3. There is, quite literally, nothing else that can be said to impeach Bush
On CNN I just saw Wolf Blitzer interviewing Dennis Kucinich about his filing three articles of Impeachment against Cheney.
Look, these neocon zionists KNOW they are OUR enemies.
They want to divide the People, so we won't complain about dying for their contempt for freedom by Justice. Bush used zero evidence to implicate Laden, while immediately working to close outstanding criminal investigations. What is it my friend that YOU can't figure?

Astonishing. Pat Tillman's brother Kevin testified; Jessica Lynch testified. Soldiers present when Tillman was killed by friendly fire (aka fratricide) testified.

Katya Kipping (Left party in Germany) rightly characterizes basic income as a "democracy package.. Solving a material question and strengthening civil rights and personal autonomy are joined. With the basic income, the individual even when weak is made a strong subject.

The results of the first round saw Nicolas Sarkozy and Ségolène Royal qualify for the second round:
Sarkozy 31.1% Royal 25.8% Although I know that most Americans could care less about French elections, remember as France goes, Europe will go. And there is a very close run heat between someone basically a neocon neofascist versus someone 'socialistic' though with very evil Blairite 'Third Way' sort of hypocrisies, though I think she has the better record. See below. The basics here are that France is very polarized in this election: both 'leaders' only got around 30% support from the people at large, and the second one only got around 25%--this was so despite a huge amount of voters coming to the polls: record-breaking turnout of 84.6%! Since no candidate obtained an absolute majority, a second round between the two leading candidates--who could hardly be more different--will take place on Sunday, 6 May 2007. Sarkozy in my opinion is the neofascist "Bilderberg" candidate.
