The Current Irrefutable Conclusion = Treason, Murder and Crimes Against Humanity for 9-11, the Iraq War, and Revocation of Constitutional Rights of US Citizens - All US 'representatives', appropriate US citizens, and non citizens, need to be on trial in Constitutional Courts.
Ron Wyden is "only" 49th on the list. (Come on Ron, you can do better.) Earl Blumenauer has become a multi-millionaire while in Congress, but he needs to work harder if he expects to finish in the top 50. (Russell Feingold is the only member of Congress who is not a millionaire.)
A Bank of America's atm slots were superglued, and a nearby vacant condo development was decorated with graffiti reading:

To avert Republican gains in November, Obama must create jobs that pay into social security, reduce crippling state debts and end the lie that Afghanistan is a necessary or just war.
Peace and resistance are part of our nature as antibodies are part of our bodies. We are not handed over to a permanent war economy.
It just keeps getting better
New York City's WBAI Radio—flagship of the progressive, non-profit Pacifica Network, where I am a producer—unfortunately provides a case study in the increasing embrace of right-wing conspiracy theory by the remnants of the American (and global) left.
The most useful propaganda device in this ongoing hostile take-over of the rump progressive forces has been an exploitation of the traumatic events of September 11, 2001. Alex Jones, who trumpets anti-immigrant bromides alongside 9-11 pseudo-exposés, now rivals Noam Chomsky as an icon on lefty websites. Where our rhetoric once invoked the military-industrial complex and even the sacrosanct capitalist system, today our ire is frequently targeted at such arcane entities as the Bilderberg Club, the Bavarian Illuminati, and stranger things. WBAI provides a useful case study because it has followed the same trajectory as many of basically progressive inclination since 2001. What began as an examination of seeming anomalies in the case of 9-11 has lured some of our best minds down a black hole of irrationality that ultimately leads—and this, as shall be demonstrated, is not just hyperbole—to fascism.
Come and join the oldest 9/11 group in Portland This Saturday for speakers, films and special guests.
The late Mary Travers once sang a song called "Where Have All the Flowers Gone? It was a lamentation about the human cost of war and it was a popular protest song during the Vietnam era. Well it seems to me that someone could write a song, or at least ask the same question, about Libertarians. Specifically, where have all the Libertarians gone?

![]() We urge passage of H.R. 1091, the Student Privacy Protection Act of 2009, a bill to ensure that our schools provide military recruiters with personal information about a student only if the parent of the student has given prior written permission to have that information released to the recruiters.
Democrats were especially prone to blaming Jews: while 32 percent of Democrats accorded at least moderate blame, only 18.4 percent of Republicans did so (a statistically significant difference). Democrat policy is anti-Semitic in the broadest possible sense: slaughter and torture the Arabs and then blame the Jews.
A call for all to come join the Northwest Ecosystem Survey Team to survey as much forest as we can before the climbing season is over.
![]() 7:00pm at Red & Black Cafe 400 SE 12th Ave. Join us for a collection of videos documenting the victories of the Starbucks Workers Union. Following the video, rank-and-file Starbucks baristas will discuss the truth about life behind the counter in the corporate chains, and explain how their innovative Solidarity Unionism organizing model has enabled the I.W.W. to establish a foothold in the industry with the lowest union density in the United States.
There's nothing fun about the life of a circus animal.
It is increasingly apparent that the United States is itself one of the most staggeringly corrupt actors in the region, willing to slide hundreds of millions of dollars under the carpet to foreign government officials to induce them to do Washington's bidding, on occasion doing this so crudely that it undermines the credibility of the government it has picked as an ally.
Undocumented immigrants streaming into this country from south of the border drive down wages and steal jobs that could otherwise go to out-of-work Americans. Right?Wrong. Immigrant workers play an important role in building our economy and bolstering institutions such as social security. This Labor Day might be a good opportunity to show a little gratitude.

"The Great Redistribution proposes a redistribution of both income and wealth as a way to create value. Among the ideas: the creation of Citizens' Endowments of up to £25,000 for all people on reaching the age of 21 to enable them to invest in their future, as well as Community Endowments to provide commonly owned assets to invest in our local neighborhoods."
This year marks the fifth anniversary of this horrendous event. The following article is but one account of that murder, at the hands of the Sandy, Oregon police, and Clackamas County, Oregon Sheriff's Office. A full, video account can be seen here :

The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals denied the emergency request by Center for Biological Diversity to temporarily halt construction on the 670 mile Ruby Pipeline being constructed by El Paso corporation through four western states. Some of the Ruby Pipeline's future customers include BP, in a rush to regain their losses from the Gulf Oil Spill. This could be some of the reasons for skipping critical components of the public review process and purchasing verbal consent from two prominent environmental organizations, WWP and ONDA.
A group of truth activists are launching an awareness campaign about the third tower (the one not hit by a plane) that fell on 9-11-01. They've got a TV commercial and and full-featured website and will start broadcasting in New York City a few weeks from now.
U.S. Socialist Stewart Alexander says, "Bernanke's speech and response to the U.S. economic crisis has revealed that Chairman Bernanke has failed in his responsibility to the nation and should resign. While providing future guarantees to Wall Street, Bernanke's message only provided optimistic illusions for the tens of millions of working people that are struggling nationwide."

![]() Mike Roselle, the cofounder of Earth First! and former Greenpeace director, sent Rod a friend request because they are old friends....no big deal..except a condition of Rod's parole is to avoid all associations with anyone known to advocate for "violent" protection of Earth and natural animals at present or prior. His sentence is 4 months and his 3 year parole starts again upon release.
The official organizing for the October 2nd Washington, D.C. demonstration, which we hope will be massive, has allowed us to catch a glimpse of a crucial ambiguity underlying the event. Will this demonstration be aimed at demanding that the government finally address the real needs of working people, now that it has made the banks whole, despite everyone's objections? Or will its real purpose be to get Democrats elected to office, in which case demands will be carefully crafted, trimmed, and pre-packaged so as not to embarrass the Democrats and then be used only as bait to lure working people into the election campaigns, not as true goals in themselves?

The Oregon National Guard are out in full-force today displaying artillery guns in Tom McCall Waterfront Park--with Guardsman shamelessly trying to promote service in the armed forces to pedestrians on the esplanade, including children and adolescents.

Recently an Associated Press story, originating in Hartford Connecticut, stated Craigslist should remove its "adults services" section because it cannot adequately block ads advertising illegal prostitution and child trafficking. Seventeen state attorney generals have signed a letter to the company making this demand known. But why does society call it "adult" if adults don't have the right to freedom and liberty in the first place? Why does any government think it has a right to "dictate" morality to the American people and treat them like they are eternal adolescents? This is no sideline issue because it goes to the heart of what this culture is supposed to be about.

"Greek media has reported that as many as 50,000 mink were released from cages. In an article in the Makedonia newspaper, the president of a Greek fur breeders association said that it was a "black day" for the industry. The owner of one of the targeted farms estimated his losses at 1 million Euros and said that his farm had been ruined.
