Rosemont Workers need your support!
The employees of Rosemont Treatment Center and School— a facility of Morrison Child and Family Services— have been working hard for a union contract that will drastically improve both working conditions for staff and the quality of care for the high-risk youth they serve. Rosemont is a lock-down facility where working conditions are often extremely difficult, stressful, and sometimes dangerous. The girls who live at Rosemont usually come from abusive, unstable backgrounds, which make stability and safety the foundation of any successful treatment. The current conditions at Rosemont do not meet these very basic standards. Due to poor pay and poor working conditions, staff turnover is alarmingly high; the workers at Rosemont have organized a union to fight for these very important issues.

After decades of liberlaization and globalization which were supposed to bring prosperity for themajority, how is it that the vast majority of people are impoverished? Unlessmore attention is paid to local production, the global food crisis will linger, perhaps indefinitely.
Faith different from religion can keep us from despair. Faith is a different view of life and the world, an inclusive affirming and welcoming view. The language of proclamation runs crossway to the language of time, to vulgar materialism, rampant apathy and normalized war.

![]() Read this, make copies and maybe go try to discuss it with some of those gallant, "patriotic" recruiters who are lying to Portland's youth!! Styve ------------ Stopping the War Machine: Military Recruiters Must Be Confronted By Ron Kovic, Truthdig Posted on May 30, 2008, Printed on May 31, 2008 ![]() As a former United States Marine Corps sergeant who was shot and paralyzed from my mid-chest down during my second tour of duty in Vietnam on Jan. 20, 1968, I am sending my complete support and admiration to all those now involved in the courageous struggle to stop military recruitment in Berkeley and across the country. Not since the Vietnam War protests of the late 1960s has there been a cause more just than the one you are now engaged in. Who knows better the deep immorality and deception of military recruiters than those of us who, decades ago, entered those same recruiting offices with our fathers, believing in our hearts that we were being told the truth -- only to discover later we had been deceived and terribly betrayed? Many of us paid for that deceit with our lives, years of suffering and bodies and minds that were never the same again. If only someone had warned us, if only someone had had the courage to speak out against the madness that we were being led into, if only someone could have protected us from the recruiters whose only wish was to make their quota, send us to boot camp and hide from us the dark secret of the nightmare which awaited us all.

Obeid, structural engineer, with a masters degree in Engineering from UC Berkeley, of Fremont, California, says: "Photos of the steel, evidence about how the buildings collapsed, the unexplainable collapse of WTC 7, evidence of thermite in the debris as well as several other red flags, are quite troubling indications of well planned and controlled demolition" more below:
Leo Strauss is the father of the NeoConservative movement. Strauss thought that "A political order can only be stable if it is united by an external threat. Following Machiavelli, he maintained that if no external threat exists, then one has to be manufactured.
Democracy Now reported Friday that the journalist George Monbiot attempted a citizen's arrest of former U.S. ambassador John Bolton for crimes against humanity. Monbiot brings our attention to a neglected story: when a Brazilian diplomat almost prevented the war, he was silenced by Bolton.
In 2009 the U.S. occupation of Iraq will no longer have the legitimizing figleaf called a "U.N. mandate" to make the U.S. presence in Iraq appear "legal." The Iraqi parliament has made it clear that a U.S. presence is not welcome. Parliament is being ignored. So they have taken to the streets. Read on:

Social Permaculture (SP) is an idea born in the Cascadian bio-region, an area which has "no precise borders, but [is largely agreed to include] the lush strip from San Francisco Bay up to southern British Columbia, and from the crest of the [Cascade] mountains west to the Pacific Ocean." (Henri, 1) Informed by both current scientific understanding and thousands of years of collective lived experience, SP asserts that every human should: 1) be free to build and/or participate fully in community with equality and sustainability, and 2) rehabilitate, foster and defend the wild, diverse and healthy environments and lifestyles of all living things.

In order to force a new reality upon any targeted populace, the masters of the universe follow a simple strategy - they immediately make things twice as bad as they intend to keep them, only to take one step back after a short while, so that the new manufactured reality will be easier to accept. This strategy holds constant from the manipulation of oil prices to the military strategy to rule the world by force.

When oil jumps as much as it has, doubling since May 2007, it's natural to assume that something striking must have happened. In the past five years, investment in index funds tied to commodities has grown from $13 billion to $260 billion.
James Pitkin published a pretty misleading about Tre Arrow in the Willamette week misquoting Tre supporters and throwing up a pretty bad picture of him as well. The record needs to be set straight.

The zeitgeist has shifted. America wants to cooperate withthe rest of the world again instead of imposing its will on other countries. Even Bush is no longer the man he presents himself to be. The pistol has returned to its holster.

The instability that global resource shortages will create threatens
the entire class hierarchy and the globalized corporate form of capitalism itself. They need a lot of military to keep the "order," to keep rich folks rich and to ensure that their money actually means something when nobody else has it or cares about it. That's why they build a giant wall at the border. That's why they privatize road-systems and move to make a national id card. That's why they passed legislation to put militarized checkpoints at every state border and are requiring a national id card or special "traveler's pass" to go through it. That's why they are building massive detention centers along the border and elsewhere in the United States. That's why they passed the Homegrown Terrorist and Violent Radicalization Act of 2007. That's why the SPP exists. Get it? Got it? Good!
