Tonight, Lionel is dead. He was a healthy, friendly, gregarious sea lion who we were worriedly watching. We knew that he was among the animals absurdly listed by ODFW on their infamous hit list - a list of animals "observed eating at least one fish" at Bonneville dam, and therefore targeted for death. So when he showed up back in the ancient feeding grounds on the Columbia, near what was once Celilo Falls, we knew that the ODFW would be gunning for him. Today, when he hauled out of the cool water to sun himself in the warm spring air, he was trapped by ODFW and the Army Corps of Engineers. A short time later, he was injected with a lethal poison that stopped his heart, and he was killed.

Tomorrow (Thursday, March 4), please join sea lion defenders in a demonstration against the killing of Columbia river sea lions, which has alas, started again all too soon. Right now, ODFW has a sea lion in their custody whom they say they are about to put to death. They are attempting to trap and kill as many as they can get away with. The killing season is upon us yet again.

Greece is the latest in a line of countries squeezed by the ongoing financial crises continuing to ripple around the world. It is an important case to watch, more so than say Iceland or Ireland, as the situation in Greece is closer to the economic positions of the UK - both have governments who form an important part of economy, and are financially overstretched.

The ODFW has at least three traps set up at Bonneville, hungrily trying to trap and kill sea lions before they are stopped. They finally have a marked animal and word has it they are about to put him to death.

A crowd of people swarmed the streets of Southside early Friday morning in a riot involving seven law enforcement agencies, runaway dumpsters, flaming trash cans, shattered windows and violent clashes between rioters and police.

"The US bank model forces others in indebtedness, inflates the money supply, devalues assets and generates virtual dollars..

Elimination of fareless square, Skyrocketing fares. What else?

The larger goal of buying local is economic transformation. We want to create an economy that is woven together with sustainable environmental practices and social values. The good news is that this transformation will begin at the local level and conscious consumption is one of the key components driving this change. Local philanthropy, including supporting the many fundraisers for non-profits and community organizations, is another key component. Supporting locally-owned banks is another. Buying directly from a small farm or participating in Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) is another. Setting up bartering exchanges is another. All these actions contribute to transforming our local economies.

Businesses are capital investments in the hands of shareholders. Consequently managers only serve the interests of shareholders. The interests of personnel, dependent employees, customers and public treasuries and the interest in preserving the natural environment play no role or only a secondary role.

he US and many countries around the world are examining how to deal with erotic entertainment. Although there are tens of thousands of arrests in the US each year for erotic entertainment and related crimes, in 11 Nevada counties erotic entertainment is legal. Because this polarizing issue is debated in universities, legislatures, newspapers, and elsewhere, and given its public policy implications, we thought the issue was ripe for our nonpartisan pro-con examination.

Just a heads up - the Communique is NOW AVAILABLE!

It's difficult to understand a subject when those explaining it are motivated not by truth, but profit. In the case of health care, both Democrats and Republicans have huge financial incentives to obscure, mislead, or lie. Instead of common sense and honesty directing the debate, bags of money facilitate the conversation, funneled in from the health care industry via lobbyists into Congressmen's pockets. This is the real reason that Obama's "health care summit" was full of free-market jargon, staged debate and fake rage.

It's rare to go to an action and leave with the certainty that we've achieved a victory. No footnotes, no relativising it: when we went to Dresden to take part in mass blockades intended to stop Europe's biggest Nazi-march from going ahead, we won!
Some ten thousand people shut down the area where the Nazis were planning to march by blockades and creatice chaos making it impossible for the police to 'guarantee the safety' of the Neo-Nazi demonstration, timed to coincide with the anniversary of the allied bombing of Dresden in 1945.

If you were arrested on Saturday, April 15, 2000 in Washington, D.C. in connection with IMF / World Bank related demonstrations, you could receive up to $18,000 from a class action settlement.

A little after noon on Wednesday, Feb. 24, in the city of San Pedro Sula, there was a knock on the door at Claudia Larissa Brizuela's house, where she was celebrating her 36th birthday. As soon as she opened the door she was gunned down, with three shots to the head that killed instantly. Claudia was an active member of the trade union of employees of the Mayor's Office, where she worked. She was also the daughter of Pedro Brizuela, a prominent local leader of the National Popular Resistance Front (FNRP).

Please research global concerns that US is using HAARP and sonar weapons to cause earthquakes and tsunamis, including the major one in Chili with tsunami warnings across southern Pacific of South American coastlines and Pacific Islands. Is this to terrorize Portlanders on three major fault lines and exploit fears/apathy/aid for profits in credit/finance, public and private militaries, prison, surveillance, disaster capitalism? When similar threats or actual attacks on other countries or parts of the US were made, international agreements led to more profits and centralized power.
