Aunque la prensa internacional presentó la reciente victoria electoral del obispo Fernando Lugo (candidato de la derecha neoliberal) en las elecciones de Paraguay como un "triunfo de la izquierda", gran parte de los méritos debemos atribuir al espíritu internacionalista de los adherentes del Frente Misógino de Liberación Machista, que logró infiltrar hasta las organizaciones feministas que apoyaron al candidato ganador.

A sea lion was killed by its captors today up in Tacoma. Yesterday, it was swimming freely in the Columbia, where its ancestors have been free to swim for thousands of years. But its freedom was taken from it, because it committed the crime of eating salmon, its natural and native prey. (This is an act which humans do with impunity, but for which sea lions are threatened with the death penalty.) While dams and voracious human fishermen drive our salmon toward extinction, the newspapers label sea lions as "salmon scarfing" and promote the myth that it is they, and not us, who are killing off all the salmon. Willful or not, this is ignorance. And today, a sea lion paid for our ignorance with its life.

On Sunday April 27, 2008, 16 animal activists held an outreach protest at the neighborhood of two University of Utah primate vivisectors to educate the neighborhood about the atrocities occurring at the University of Utah animal resource center. When activists showed up - they discovered that the University of Utah had hired 24 hour security for the homes of some of its personnel - surely with a hefty price tag!

--The 'left wing' U.S. media is 'scare-mongering and alarmist' about climate change. They are frightening the people of the U.S. about the affects of global warming without having enough facts and research to back up their statements. -- The statements from researchers 'on the ground' ARE very alarming, no one can dispute that. Here are a few of the past year or so from separate, independent, long-term scientific studies. [Links to the report that these statements are ripped from are provided below.]

Wow. For a few years now I've been laughing at people who think they need an SUV. I've always argued that in daily use a honda civic will do exactly the same thing as a Durango. I stand corrected. Heres a story from Hermiston.

If Oregon is to maintain its national reputation as a "green" leader it must deal with the reality of the aggressive goals it has set out in HB 3543 by giving the legislation some teeth. In March of this year 1000 Friends of Oregon, Environment Oregon, and the Oregon Environmental Council released a policy paper calling for a comprehensive approach in reducing greenhouse gasses by the state of Oregon.
The following article was written by a radical in the United States last summer. Although it deals with a different context, we felt that it raised problems and situations that have relevance for us here in Canada too. So we reprint the article here as a contribution to the discussion that many of us are engaging in at the present time. We anarchists and Syndicalists - indeed all who believe that the liberation of the workers is the task of the workers themselves - were too poorly organized and too weak to hold the revolution on a straight course towards socialism.
![]() ![]() Sunday April 27, 2008 10:40 EDT An article by The New York Times's Mark Mazzetti this morning discloses a letter (.pdf) from the Justice Department to Congress which asserts "that American intelligence operatives attempting to thwart terrorist attacks can legally use interrogation methods that might otherwise be prohibited under international law." In other words, even after all of the dramatic anti-torture laws and other decrees, the Bush administration insists that American interrogators have the right to use methods that are widely considered violations of the Geneva Conventions if we decide that doing so might help "thwart terrorist attacks." There are two reasons, and two reasons only, that the Bush administration is able to claim this power: John McCain and the Military Commissions Act. In September, 2006, McCain made a melodramatic display -- with great media fanfare -- of insisting that the MCA require compliance with the Geneva Conventions for all detainees. But while the MCA purports to require that, it also vested sole and unchallenged discretion in the President to determine what does and does not constitute a violation of the Conventions. After parading around as the righteous opponent of torture, McCain nonetheless endorsed and voted for the MCA, almost single-handedly ensuring its passage. That law pretends to compel compliance with the Conventions, while simultaneously vesting the President with the power to violate them -- precisely the power that the President is invoking here to proclaim that we have the right to use these methods. As Columbia Law Professor Michael Dorf wrote at the time:

Allies, advocates, and other homeless folks supporting creative solutions to house those who call Portland home are demanding justice, not displacement. The city has officially begun sweeping under the Burnside Bridge again, and threatened local neighbors who utilize that area as their resting place with warnings, tickets, exclusions, and ultimately jail time if they are caught sleeping there(which could all happen in as little as a couple days time).
This could be totally bogus. And then, it could be real.
I tend to think the former. But if spreading this via email could cause the cancellation of the plans for a new 9/11, it's worthwhile.
Why you should care about the raid on the FLDS.
