Programmatic Environmental Impact Statements (PEISs) to identify and assess potential impacts upon the human environment of ongoing and potential future border security activities for the Northern Border between the United States and Canada. The anticipated area of study will extend approximately 100 miles south of the Northern Border. The four PEISs will address regions encompassing New England, the Great Lakes, states east of the Rocky Mountains, and states west of the Rocky Mountains. This notice initiates the public scoping process for preparation of the PEISs. The purpose of the scoping process is to solicit public comments regarding the potential environmental impacts that may be addressed. This notice announces that CBP is requesting written comments and conducting public scoping meetings. Additionally, the scoping process will allow CBP to gather information and allow the public to participate in consideration of historic preservation activities pursuant to Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act for activities along the Northern Border.

When the UN refused to agree to the severe sanctions that the U.S. wanted, Obama responded with typical Bush flair and went solo. The new U.S. sanctions against Iran — signed into law by Obama on July 1st — are an unmistakable act of war.
If fully enforced, Iran's economy will be potentially destroyed. The New York Times outlines the central parts of the sanctions:

Here in the US, ground zero for neoliberalism, reaction to the financial
collapse has been comparatively muted. Recent protests have not approached the size and intensity of those of the antiglobalization era. The IMF Resistance Network exists to help change that. We are an East coast-based antiauthoritarian group dedicated to organizing demonstrations against IMF and World Bank summit meetings in Washington, DC. The next one is on October 9 - 11 of this year. You're all invited. Details will follow shortly. See you in the streets, The IMF Resistance Network
And now, you have decided to put cuts to Social Security at the center of your agenda...Frankly, under the circumstances, we wouldn't have been surprised if you were talking about increasing Social Security benefits. But, we're absolutely delighted to see you moving forward with plans for cuts. This will mean that we won't have to be taxed to repay the bonds held by the trust fund.

The capital markets repeatedly force the real economy to its knees.
The savings orgy should help heavily indebted states regain the trust of the financial markets. In a play from the madhouse, states must run into debt to bailout their money-houses.

The Arctic has been the subject of dispute. Increasing diplomatic efforts is the key to building the foundation for more multilateral cooperation in the area. It's vast untapped oil, natural gas and mineral resources represent a tremendous economic potential, but control of the region is also important from a strategic standpoint. The scramble for resources and the further militarization of the Arctic make it a potential flashpoint for conflict.

iCNN -- Facebook Deleted Boycott BP ![]() The question is: Why did Facebook suddenly take down the site? Some will call it a media black out of what is really happening down here in the Gulf. Some might say he was doing more harm than good given the fact that the Boycotting of BP was actually beginning to take hold if you judge by some of the photos and videos being posted of station owners either changing to a new brand, or closing altogether. |__________
The most powerful nations in the world met recently at the G-20 in Toronto and managed to agree on only one thing of significance: the need to reduce deficits, "half by 2013." Implied by the statement is the need to lower deficits via "austerity," meaning eliminating or reducing social programs.
Why does every mainstream political pundit or corporate CEO fanatically agree that reducing deficits is the most important thing to do now? Let Obama explain:

Although President Aquino III has just succeeded the corrupt Arroyo in the Philipppines, 43 health-care workers continue to suffer military torture and degrading treatment by the military and police, among them two pregnant women. 5 of them are confined to military dungeons undergoing unimaginable horrors. Their relatives and families are threatened, with the children of one kidnapped by the military. Millions of US taxdollars fund the military/police to torture civilians, as well as commit extrajudicial killings and enforced disappearances. We appeal to all to denounce and condemn Gloria Macapagal Arroyo and her minions for committing crimes against humanity. Arrest Arroyo and her accomplices! Justice to all the thousands of victims of State terrorist abuses!

About 30 Portland, Oregon, Jobs with Justice picketers protested the recent Pete Peterson, Philadelphia billionaire, astroturf event in Portland (part of a 33 state teleconference) ostensibly about debt and deficit reduction but targeting privatization of Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, etc.
Theology of liberation understands itself as an historical and contextual theology, an alternative to European theology which is an imperialist theology for Latin American peoples. Liberation theology emphasizes liberation from structurally anchored sins like oppression and impunity as primary, not the forgiveness of individual sins.

You've seen the posts. Usually they're comments after a demo, or in response to report-backs from some killer action or other. They go like this: "You shouldn't be doing x, you should be doing y instead." As in, "How dare you work to help animals when so many babies are dying," and "how come you're fighting police brutality when there is a war going on" and "why would you talk about going vegan when there are so many more important things" and etc. Not coincidentally, a disproportionate number of these vapid criticisms have to do with animal rights. And, also not coincidentally, they are ALWAYS posted by people who turn out to have never lifted a single finger, either for the cause they are disparaging, or for the cause they claim that others "should be" paying attention to instead.

Looks like the U.S. Military/Mediagarchy Complex is gearing up to attack Iran again. But unlike Afghanistan and Iraq, or even Vietnam, Iran can actually take things away from us. All they have to do is snap up their far-to-the-north neighbours, Azerbaijan, Georgia, and Armenia! They would then hold something that is sorely needed by Russia (and NATO)! The Russians would jump for joy!
Iran seems to have the necessary troops, and the Russians would probably be happy to provide other things.

Ad hoc BP-Disaster oil refugee sites are being formed on the Internet now. Some are much better than others. The "HELP GULF EVACUEES" forum is bullshit. It says:
![]() "Gulf Coast evacuees need to be self sufficient and able to work or contribute in some fashion to those person(s) who assist them." But many refugees are going to be seriously sick, or old, or disabled. But these people don't care!
![]() The U.S.A.'s stupid stimulus funds went to build freeways while mass transit was cut back and fares were raised all over the country. Every federal legislator behind the stimulus freeway building spree should be held responsible for the death of the Gulf Coast, as much or more than British Petroleum. Even now, the cuts to mass transit continue, as the oil volcano erupts with no end in sight.

Portland has been in need of an established activist organization dedicated to supporting the people of Haiti. With two coup-de-etas and the consistent undermining of popular, democratic governance in Haiti by the United States, with upcoming elections that may yet again deny the Lavalas party from participation, and with the attention now sliding away from Haiti after the quake, now is the time for Portlanders to stand with the Haitian people.
On Jun 17, Colorado Indymedia was contacted by Special Agent Adam Kowalski of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI)/Department of Homeland Security (DHS). As part of an "ongoing investigation" by Federal Protective Services, they attempted to seize the Colorado Indymedia server, believing that we kept logs (such as IP address access logs) that could identity users on our site. Our servers are graciously hosted at Denver Open Media who was approached by Kowalski. Kowalski claimed he had a court order but refused to leave a copy at Denver Open Media. He was told to contact the system administrators in order to obtain the logs as Denver Open Media does not have the ability to consent to a seizure or search of our property
