The state is welcome again in this plight. The brazenness with which those who caused the crisis now demand state subsidies to bail out the financial system is just as breathtaking as the state readiness to fulfill this demand. The more resolutely the state demonstrates its determination not to be the plaything of the financial markets, the more the trust of customers and banks in the reliability of the system returns.
NORAD (North American Aerospace Defense Command)is planning terror exercises over/in Chicago starting at 1:00 am July 21, 2009 with nation-wide "exercises" involving multiple nations' militaries July 27-31, just as they did with live terror 9-11 and 7-7 London Bombings and Madrid bombings and similar exercises prior/during Mumbai bombings all blamed on others amid reports of inside jobs in preparation for marital law.
Obama and Eugenics are a match made in Sacramento
Many people believed that after Bush had left the White House, rampant arrogance combined with stunning hypocrisy had also gone. Events have proven otherwise. A recent speech delivered in Africa — and one later directed specifically at African Americans — carried with them all the baggage of the Bush years, to the extent that one could safely claim that absolutely nothing had changed. And although Obama is able to give a more compassionate and intelligent speech than was possible with Bush, the essence of their policies is identical. Both Africans and African Americans can expect no help from the U.S. government in addressing their serious and specific grievances, themselves the result of past and current U.S. government policy. Instead, both were given the same solution: if you want help, help yourselves, "no excuses."
On July 14, the Portland Police Bureau and Independent Police Review
Division (IPR) put out their second joint report on police use of force. The report's first half gives police credit for following all of the recommendations made in the previous 2007 report (which used stats from September 2004 to November 2006), and analyzes data mostly from November 2007-November 2008 in the second half. However, the report doesn't leave room for new recommendations or further discussion on how force is used against whom in Portland.
There is a growing chorus of pissed off students around the world.
Prestigious businesses urge their workers to work less. In principle, rising productivity is full of blessings. It made possible reducing working hours since the Second World War. In crisis, the music stops playing. The chair-dance is in full swing. This crisis can also be a chance to reform our traditional working hours model.
Congratulations to IndividualsForJustice in Portland Oregon for standing up to AIPAC, and winning his case regarding protesting on the sidewalk!!! Navy veteran Joe Walsh (The Lone vet) from Portland Oregon, had his day in court and was found NOT GUILTY in a stunning peace movement victory over a foreign political influence.
I have been conducting a preliminary internet study of the "neo-H1N1 'swine' flu." it is spreading perhaps 10? more rapidly than "ordinary" flu, and it seems show relatively little of the susceptibility to heat above 60?F that restrains most of the exogenously transmitted flu and cold viruses. It is critically important to recognize that each distinct infectious agent has it's own particular "habits," which dictate the optimal approaches to address their treatment. For example, it has recently been discovered that the HIV (RNA) virus rarely becomes exposed to antibodies circulating in the blood: Rather, it depends on T-cell (white blood immune cell) communication bridges that form naturally when the T-cells come into contact. So vaccines are not likely to control HIV. And so on.
The Native American Havasupi tribe have invited the public to join them, on July 25th and 26th, to protest at Red Bluff, Arizona, a Havasupi sacred site threatened by Denison Mining's plan to reopen its open pit uranium mine, Arizona One, near the South Rim of the Grand Canyon.

Help give capitalism a mighty blow today at SE 20th and Stark! Everything is FREE! You're welcome to stop by and pick up whatever you can use. Feel free to drop stuff off for others to pick through as well. I'll be out there all day.
Maybe you didn't hear the news: Card Check — the key provision of the Employee Free Choice Act — is dead. You might not have gotten the message because U.S. labor "leaders" are remarkably silent on the issue. Not a peep.
The media, however, has the story right: the Democrats are now officially seeking a compromise, one that strips the bill of its essence — the right for workers to start a union by stating their intention to do so. So why are most union leaders so quiet? No one likes to talk about their blunders, especially the colossal type. The defeat of Card Check is a mighty blow to labor, and admitting that your strategy failed to achieve it may cause others to question your authority.
Campaign Intensifies to Stop Mountain Top Removal Coal Mining
Interview with Judy Bonds, co-director of Coal River Mountain Watch, conducted by Melinda Tuhus
From whatever angle you approach it, the present offers no way out. This is not the least of its virtues. From those who seek hope above all, it tears away every firm ground. Those who claim to have solutions are contradicted almost immediately. Everyone agrees that things can only get worse. "The future has no future" is the wisdom of an age that, for all its appearance of perfect normalcy, has reached the level of consciousness of the first punks.
GLOBAL DAY OF ACTION SATURDAY, JULY 25 1PM at: PIONEER SQUARE - DOWNTOWN PORTLAND with a HUMAN CHAIN IN SUPPORT OF THE GREEN MOVEMENT FOR DEMOCRACY IN IRAN UNITED FOR IRAN GLOBAL DAY OF ACTION SATURDAY, JULY 25 1PM at: PIONEER SQUARE - DOWNTOWN PORTLAND with a HUMAN CHAIN IN SUPPORT OF THE GREEN MOVEMENT FOR DEMOCRACY IN IRAN Call on U.S. lawmakers/politicians to: • NOT use the Iranian crisis and sacrifice of the Iranian protesters to score political points. ASK their colleagues in Congress to stop using the Iranian crisis as a domestic political football. • REMEMBER that words of U.S. lawmakers have deep and strong historical meaning in Iran. BE CONSCIOUS of the Iranian government's accusations of Western meddling in its internal affairs and allegations for domestic and international consumption. • NOT allow their words as an American leader to be used against the people in Iran. REJECT these allegations forcefully. • SUPPORT President Obama's measured and strong words of support for the human rights of the people of Iran. SUPPORT his strong position in condemning the violence, killings and human rights abuses. • CONTINUE highlighting the human rights violations of the Iranian security forces and their proxies, the Basij militia forces. • NOT press President Obama to take drastic political action or make statements that will strengthen the hardliners and allow them to justify their brutal crackdown. Call on the world to: • CONDEMN violence perpetrated by the Iranian government against unarmed civilians for exercising their right to peacefully assemble. o CONDEMN Ali Khamene'i for threatening to use force and carrying out hat threat against unarmed, peaceful protesters. o CONDEMN Khamene'i and the Iranian government for ordering the Basij militia - plainclothes pressure groups - to terrorize people through extreme violence and bodily injury. The Basij and paramilitary are using live ammunition, acid attacks, batons, knives and machetes against people in their homes, on the streets, and on campuses around the country. o ACKNOWLEDGE that while mainstream media reports a dozen or so official deaths, hundreds have been killed, injured and detained and the actual numbers are still not clear. DEMAND that Iranian authorities: o STOP the violence and brutality against peaceful protesters, and respect the rights of Iranians to peaceful assembly, free expression, and free access to information. REESTABLISH lines of communications that have been shut down, including phone lines, text messaging and access to the Internet. o ALLOW foreign journalists back in the country. Release Iranian journalists and allow all to report freely. DO NOT BLOCK their access to people and political leaders, including those in the opposition o Immediately RELEASE all those detained since the protests started, including journalists, human rights defenders, opposition leaders and demonstrators. o ALLOW Iranian families and the public to properly mourn the loss of loved ones in mosques and other religious places and hold ceremonies around the country. o RESPECT the democratic aspirations of the Iranian people, and allow for new elections with independent monitors as demanded by Iran's opposition factions, the human rights community, and millions of Iranians both inside and outside Iran, who have protested the results. http://www.portlandstandwithiran.org
The last few weeks have been unbelievable! I want to share some of my experiences so that anyone who hesitates taking time off their job might think again, and renounce being consumer slaves of corporate capital, in favor of radical adventure and creative insurrection against the global government of militant madness.
http://www.earthfirst.ws/ is not being used for serious beneficial Internet activism and since I own the domain name I want to find a better home for it.
I've enjoyed feasting with fellow urban gleaners at Food Not Bombs on many occasions. Since moving back to Portland, I've found the schedule posted for Food Not Bombs to be somewhat outdated. I am hoping that someone can mention which sites are currently active, and on which days.
An answer to neo liberalism. Bottom-up rights are those rights excluded from the UN human rights instruments which are devised to perpetuate neo liberalism and globalization. The discontented will have to struggle to have these rights included. Those mainly affected are the independent peoples e.g.small business, and the most disadvantaged. The bottom-up rights also entail an ethical globalization which addresses the most serious violations.

The full text of an article that recently appeared in parts in Fire to the Prisons 6.
many residents began to question the idea of trucking water about 100 miles north to a bottling plant in Sydney, only to transport it somewhere else — possibly even back to Bundanoon — for sale.
Bottled water is only good for corporations who exploit the public by deception and precious social resources for profit. One progressive community fights back...at last!

"As a banker, I also welcome the fact that the 'cap-and-trade' system is becoming the dominant methodology for [carbon dioxide] control."
-Simon Linnett, Executive Vice Chairman of Rothschild Bank. Can the looming environmental catastrophe be solved by environmentalists working side by side with Wall Street Bankers? Such a question doesn't deserve a serious answer. The Democrats, however, are attempting to address the issue of global warming by developing a "partnership" between those who love the earth, and those who love only profits.

The Obama administration just canceled the WOPR. More details to come.
It was a difficult decision to make: Either continue to violate the laws that the fascist Bush regime broke else reinstate the laws now that Bush and his ecoterrorist ilk are out of office.
"God is not a real estate agent," Palestinian scholar Edward Said's responded to Zionists' claiming scriptural proof, from the Old Testament, that God had given Palestine to them. Were Edward Said still among us,he might now respond, "God is not a commodities broker," because Zion Oil and Natural Gas now claims scriptural proof,Genesis 12:1-3, and 49:25, and Deuteronomy 33:24 that God gave the oil and natural gas in the land of milk and honey to them as well.
"It is neither humane nor responsible to build a Noah's Ark only to save the existing economic system, leaving the vast majority of humanity to their fate and to suffer the negative effects of a system imposed by an irresponsible but pwoerful minority.."

War is peace, freedom is slavery and ignorance is strength. These are the slogans of Big Brother. With newspeak, the ministry for truth tries to stylize oppositional citizens as terrorists.. Activism must not be equated with terrorism.
