Corporate news reports this morning reveal that Troy Davis, who has been sitting on Georgia's death row for 18 years, has been granted a new evidentiary hearing by the US Supreme Court.
Capitalism has proven it cannot end wars, prevent crises and make possible a good life for all people. Instead of solidarity, the capitalist social system teaches us envy and egoism. We should be mirror-reflections of broken principles. Now those who have privatized the state cry for state bailout packages. This speech is from the March 28, 2009 demonstration in Germany.

It's 1967, The Vietnam War has been a nightmare for 8 years, the Weather Underground formed out of the Students for a Democratic Society in the States, and the Red Army Faction begins to terrify Germany's bourgeoisie with prison-breaks, bombings, assassinations and airplane hi-jacking. Radical journalist Ulrike Meinhof and revolutionary Andreas Baader rally the support of over 7 million German citizens. They are known to their adversaries as "Der Baader Meinhof Komplex".
Mr. DeFazio I attended your town hall meeting on health care in Cave Junction and was not impressed. I went to defend you against the right wing, and ended up agreeing with them. Why should we pay taxes for the insurance companies to get windfall profits? We need real health care reform and the public option is just more of the same.
The leadership within the Peace and Freedom Party wants a measure to support same-sex marriage on the ballot in 2010. Kevin Akin says, "The fight for human rights is back on the ballot for 2010, and if it fails, then 2012."
At the next meeting of Transit Riders Union, 6pm, Chit Chat Cafe at PSU, 1906 SW Sixth next to Hot Lips Pizza, community members are welcome to brainstorm both on the failures of TriMet to preserve Fareless Square and bus and MAX service, and strategy and tactics activist Portlanders can take both to counter and reverse TriMet mismanagement, as well as have the TriMet board elected by voters rather than being appointed by Oregon's governor, as is the case now.

G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra is a Hollywood action movie packed with CGI-enhanced martial arts; explosions; sci-fi hi-tech weapons; chase scenes and topped off with near superhuman 'good' and 'bad guys.' Typical of Hollywood-type action movies, the plot centers around preventing the bad guys from attaining global dominance. G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra, like another summer blockbuster, Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen, is one of many movies that promotes militarism and by extension imperialism.

Investments of the state in the infrastructure, in educational- and social services are urgently necessary.. One positive aspect of the crisis is that the financial sector has begun to shrivel. 2 trillion dollars has already been destroyed in capital accumulation in banks and assets..The shriveling of the financial sector must be accompanied and controlled by the state.
That's right, my right-winger friends! BURN them Mediocare payments and Soical Security checks! They're EEEvil! You show that Commie Nazi Obama! Your rage is genuine, even if it's nourished with daily talk-radio Koolaide!
The once-solid North American Free Trade Act (NAFTA) is starting to show its age. The 1994 trade agreement that laid the foundation for the economic/political integration of North America is encountering serious internal ruptures, threatening future "progress."
The problems are numerous: fights over trade, immigration, and military cooperation are all issues that Obama recently discussed in Mexico with his NAFTA partners, Mexico and Canada. The annual meeting that usually delivers plans for additional integration was instead used to remedy these heated issues, none of which were fully solved.

Oregon had the 10th highest rate of foreclosure filings in the nation in July, according to new data from RealtyTrac, a company that sells foreclosure information online.
The banks are seemingly on Victory Street and taxpayers face bankruptcy. Bailing out banks by printing money is a dubious recovery. Paulson, Bernanke, Summers and Geithner are the architects of the policy of easy money who have learned nothing from the mistakes of the past. The money given to the banks does not reach the economy. Welcome to Bernanke's debt apocalypse!

We write to you one more time to share the dream that we are about to make a reality, and the importance of your participation/contribution at this very moment. Our project, the Autonomous Center for the Intercultural Creation of Appropriate Technologies (C.A.C.I.T.A.), located in San Pablo Etla just outside of Oaxaca City, is an autonomous project based on intercultural and open apprenticeship, which does not depend on any type of government or institutional funding. We are a workspace in constant motion through experimentation and creation of appropriate technologies such as bicycle-machines, dry eco-toilets, bio-construction, and alternative fuels; just to mention a few.

"I worry not for Latin America. As Narco News has documented for nine years, most of them while the US suffered under a tinhorn tyrant named Bush, the people of this hemisphere have been untying the colonial knot just fine even as Washington opposed them. And as I documented last week from distinct regions of Honduras, the civil resistance there will triumph sooner or later and topple the coup d'etat and its illegitimate regime with or without support or opposition from the United States.
What the US will get from its betrayal of its initial good statements against the Honduras coup will be a civil revolution that erases the institutions - executive, legislative and judicial - that existed until June 28 in Honduras and that replaces them with a more Latin American kind of democracy. I really don't worry about Latin America. I've listened and learned too much to think that it needs Washington's hand to do for itself what its majorities desire. No, I worry for the United States of America."

After the stock market crash, financial management acts as though nothing happened. The state was obviously treated only as a useful idiot by parts of moribund financial management. The little taxpayers pay for the repair so the old crew and the old passengers can take the old course again. Financial management destroys trust in democracy.

They all question the official story of what happened on 9-11.
Healthcare isn't the only social ill in the U.S. that needs a serious remedy. The list is long and growing: state budget crises, unemployment, infrastructure, education, housing, food assistance, etc. These are all things that must be paid for, but the money seems to be in short supply. When a country is in as much debt as the U.S., - $12 trillion and counting — the tasks at hand seem all but unachievable.
And this is exactly what many politicians would like you to believe.

California Attorney General Jerry Brown has made the assumption that if marijuana becomes legal, society will start getting stone and will become less competitive. Many of the gubernatorial candidates from the real Left dismiss Brown's phony claims and believe legalizing marijuana will be a benefit to society, our economy, and will help California generate revenues.
