Opponents of Measure 49, some of whom are asking for up to 140 homes, issued a glossy 8-page brochure to Oregon voters this week making hysterical and often patently false claims about the effects of Measure 49.

Slide presentation and talk about the Artback Artists Collective in Estacada, OR.
I would like to present some views on the bomb scare Thursday. My immediate thought was why would extremely expensive trained dogs track down fake explosives used from the supposedly fake explosions at PIR. Then I received these very interesting posts which really opened my eyes:
The press conference held by President George W. Bush Wednesday was, like all of his press appearances, full of non-sequiturs, evasions and political bullying. Bush called the news conference to present himself as an opponent of excessive federal spending, by which he meant a few billion for children's health insurance in the bill he vetoed last week, not the hundreds of billions his administration has squandered on wars in Iraq and Afghanistan or the trillions in tax cuts for the rich.
The routine of his 20th press conference of the year was broken only when Bush was asked about the visit of Russian President Vladimir Putin to Tehran, widely seen as undercutting the Bush administration's campaign to isolate Iran and pave the way for military action against it. Putin took part in a meeting of the five states bordering on the Caspian Sea, each of them pledging not to allow their territory to be used for military action against any of the others.
Some think rating agencies inevitably take the side of their patrons - to the burden of those who buy these "financial products" in good faith in the objective judgment of the auditors. Of course, the agencies do not accept liability.
If we took all the money spent on the nuclear and other disaster drills plus the war money and put it towards impeaching bush and cheney and straightening out this country we wouldn't have the problems of terrorists like we do now.
Senator Dodd has placed a hold on the bill that would give telecom corporations immunity from breaking the law. This is good news for people who believe in civil liberties, but he needs your support.

Who is Dr. Reid Meloy? A forensic psychologist with impressive degrees and credentials. A recognized expert on stalking, violent sex crimes, risk management, and the Rorschach test. A man you'd better hope you never meet, because on his word alone, you can be found guilty of murder. With a little help from a corrupt system, and no more evidence than the theories spun by Meloy, you can be convicted to life in prison, just like Tim Masters.

A real estate- and mortgage boom was intentionally produced in the US to artificially keep alive the deadbeat US ear economy after the dramatic price drops in 2000 and hold the population in dependence. How long will crises be produced intentionally to take our breath away?
in this case that point is that this one was tipped off beforehand - it happened anyway and now there's a "smoking gun" - don't be surprised if the investigation leads to a convenient patsy - a tip to serious investigators: Don't look to a cave in the Hindu Kush for the author of this. Look to the cave beneath the Naval Observatory!
Ron Paul is first and foremost a wolf in sheep's clothing putting on a good anti Iraq occupation face while defending U.S. militarism in general .Paul seems ignorant of the fact that there is just another in that long linage of U.S. Salvadorian option dirty tricks going on in Iraq.
Far worse, Ron Paul talks as though 9/11 was a legit event. It wasn't. No planes were hijacked on 9-11-2001.And, no planes were flown into any buildings on 9-11-2001.The entire 19 Arab hijacker story is an absurd fairy tale. The best two word description of Ron Paul is "Libertarian Looney". The second best two word description of Ron Paul is "economic anarchist".

Whether you live in Philadelphia, Seattle, Detroit, Mexico City, or Baghdad, most working people would agree that quality jobs, health care, education, housing and infrastructure isn't too much to ask for. Instead, capitalism gives us war, racism, economic turmoil, and unemployment. And it's not as though the money isn't there - over $2 billion is spent each week just on the occupation of Iraq - it's a matter of priorities. Just imagine how many badly-needed schools, bridges and hospitals could be built, providing quality jobs for millions of people in the process.
The fact is, the economic situation facing most workers is pretty grim, and yet on Wall Street, the "irrational exuberance" of the investors is totally divorced from reality. The market continues to hit new records while the housing sector continues its meltdown, spreading to the rest of the economy. Pending home sales have now fallen to the lowest level since records began. Home builders like Lennar Corp. have posted record losses and imports of building materials fell by 20 percent in the second quarter from a year earlier. Furniture imports fell 17 percent, clothing by 10 percent, and footwear was down 8 percent.

Wayne Madsen is reporting that Blackwater is training law enforcement across the country, including Oregon State Police.
Shut Down Downtown Tacoma! We want to show the powers that be, that a homeland security detention center will not be tolerated in our communities and in our region. This will be in solidarity with the No Borders camp that will be happening the same week down south. We plan on sending a very visible, clear message by not allowing business as usual to happen on these days.
The criminal justice policy (in the US, reluctantly followed by the EU) has turned out in more punishing.

Corporate media is starting to admit they don't like Ron Paul and are actively trying to stop his momentum.
I just wonder if people have noticed a gray and blue, fairly large helicopter taking joy rides around the Mt. Tabor area?
Three speakers continue the parade of Portlanders urging the City Council to join more than 100 cities and towns—including Detroit, San Francisco, etc.—and pass a resolution to impeach President Bush and Vice President Cheney. A local poll announced on Air America's Morning show just revealed that 92% of area residents support their impeachment. The text of the speakers' statements are below.

"Now, in the aftermath, every noise or movement causes silence and immediate reaction..." - Kirsten Anderberg's Diary, dated October 19, 1989/ At 5:04 pm, on October 17, 1989...I began to hear an odd noise. It sounded like a plane was going to crash into the building. Then I thought maybe it was a train...Everyone around me appeared to stop moving, as they listened. Then I noticed little puffs of dust coming out from in between the bricks of the library walls...

I'm just got the announcement during today's topoff 4 press conference.
After Blackwater USA's recent street shoot out in Baghdad, which resulted in as many as 17 civilian deaths, the role of mercenaries in Iraq has received extra attention in the media. Although they have played a key role in the occupation of Iraq since the fall of Saddam Hussein, these "private security contractors" have for the most part flown under the public radar. For example, the debate over a U.S. withdrawal from Iraq usually centers around the 160,000 military personnel occupying the country. But what about the estimated 182,000 private contractors now deployed in Iraq? During the 1991 Gulf War, the troop-to-private contractor ratio was about 60 to 1. Now they outnumber uniformed troops, more than doubling the actual size of the occupation force.
Private contractors in Iraq do everything from cooking food and doing the laundry to driving trucks and building bridges. Using them on such a vast scale is part of the privatization of the war, which is not only politically convenient, but results in massive profits for the companies involved. As of July 2007, there were more than 630 war contracting companies working in Iraq for the U.S. government.
Landlord didn't take me off lease and now expects $700 is 30 days.
These are the clowns who are running the Exercise in Terror in Portland. Fingers crossed that Vigilant Shield, which is unpublicized but running concurrently with Top Off, won't be some DoD/DHS vehicle to exploit Bush's new powers under NSPD51.
No wonder Blackwater was just given a $15 billion contract to fight the War on Drugs, among other things... Why not just call it what it is...WAR ON AMERICA?!

A group of Pesticide Poisoning Victims and their supporters will demonstrate outside the EPA office in Portland to protest the recent VERY CONTROVERSIAL decision to approve an especially toxic pesticide despite vigorous objections of scientists who say it is extremely carcinogenic.
So here we are in 2007 and Jim Crow is gone. People of all colors ride the same busses, eat in the same restaurants and use the same public rest rooms. There are minority millionaires all over television and the media. When's the last time a person was hung for being different? Heck, how often are racial epithets used in the presence of those they are being directed against?
Our group has gone through the work of getting press badges. Thank you Ginny Ross of the OTA.
As a result of Bush's invasion of Iraq, more than one million Iraqis have died, and several millions are displaced persons. The Iraqi death toll and the millions of uprooted Iraqis match the Armenian deaths and deportations. If one is a genocide, so is the other.
It is true that most of the Iraqi deaths have resulted from Iraqis killing one another. But it was Bush's destruction of the secular Iraqi state that unleashed the sectarian strife. Moreover, American troops in Iraq have killed more civilians than insurgents. The US military in Iraq has fallen for every bit of disinformation fed to it by Al Qaeda personnel posing as "informants" and by Sunnis setting up Shi'ites and Shi'ites setting up Sunnis. As a result, American bombs and missiles have blown up weddings, funerals, kids playing soccer, and people shopping in bazaars and sleeping in their homes.

Come to our weekly intercambio night
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) has miserably failed the American people. Instead of standing up to the Bush-Cheney Gang on the illegal Iraq War, and a host of other issues, too, she has caved in. The American people voted for a change of policy on Iraq, in the Nov. 7, 2006 election; Pelosi has failed to deliver on that mandate. When ex-House Speaker Tom Foley let the voters down, they gave him the boot. It's time to give Speaker Pelosi the boot, too!
A man, who was playing Rambo in the woods (during hunting season???)learned what we all know about the dangers of being in the woods during the fall, when the woods are at their loveliest-HUNTERS ARE KILLERS, crazed, and will shoot at ANYTHING THAT MOVES.
Come on folks! WTF could anyone hope to learn from a PLANNED exercise? The very fact that it is planned, and that millions in taxpayer dollars have been spent in advance should be a clue.
Four men who say Portland police ran roughshod over their constitutional rights are taking their cases to court.
Gee, that never happens here, does it? I mean, really?
