It's as brazen as it is outrageous. At the very same time that the FCC is deliberating the fate of our open Internet, cable giant Comcast threatened to block Netflix from delivering streaming movies to Comcast's own broadband customers.

Join Us To Commemorate The Life And Wonder of Portland's Most Exotic Mobile Tea Horse...

Twelve years ago, City Repair and Janus Youth Organizations called upon hundreds of hands to help in the creation of a mobile Tea House. Aptly titled the T Horse, a funky old pickup was transformed into a creature with skin made from photos from around the world, a set up 10' wings and a hutch in the back that serves tea and instant community.

Alas, the T Horse in her current incarnation is almost no more. Her bones need to rest, but before we say goodbye...
We Invite You All To Join Us In One Final Commemoration, One Final Hurrah and to give great thanks to this creature that has given us so much!

FBI Serves Up "Terror" to Help TSA Friends

That the FBI targeted Portland for its little bomb scare is no mystery -- "little Buirut" has been to terror free to suit these thugs. Any judicious reading of the script shows that it was more "entrapment" than "sting". Somali is also a favorite target. A lesson: when you are a 19 year old college student away from home, be careful when your friends suggest you blow something up.

Trial of John Graham Native Land Defender Begins: Reports from Rapid City (Nov.29th)

Today, November 29th, jury selection begins for the trial of Tuchone
native John Graham. As many who have been following this case know, John
Graham has been charged with the 1970's murder of his friend and comrade
in the American Indian Movement, Anna Mae Aquash.

We understand the real intentions of this so called "investigation" to be
two-fold. The first is an attempt by the State to rewrite history in order
to cover up the crimes they themselves committed. The second intent is to
neutralize Native American struggle for survival in the face of colonial
and economic domination.

No news is objective and we are not here to pretend.

Eight Rationales Why TSA x-ray screening is illegal, mutagenic (cancer), disease vector

Eight concerns: [1] obviously the first: the TSA invasive searches--without probable cause, without Warrant--is illegal under the Fourth Amendment. [2] The PDF "letter of concern" from University of California-San Francisco (UCSF) professors, some in the National Academy of Sciences, indicating that there is zero independent data review of the x-ray cancer potential on different people, particularly women, children, and elderly since the feds have kept the actual x-ray data secret!; [3] The endless touching by the TSA of everyone makes them them a spreader of biological mass infections. No one can challenge these three things. And by the way, [4] Chertoff, ex head of "Homeland" Security, and a dual citizen with Israel is the one putting these in place through his security company. It's another zionist money spinner against the USA by people with a history of compromising our security and making money at it. [5] Bound to create a 'thin blue line' of pedophiles and perverts in the TSA positively attracted to groping anonymous people. [6] TSA already, themselves, have endangered air security by being lax about passes, uniforms, etc. [continued...]

The US Navy Ready to Wage War on Marine Mammals

U.S. Navy

U.S. Navy 5-Year Warfare Testing Threatens more than 11.7 Million Marine Mammals in the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans and the Gulf of Mexico. Fish, birds, national marine sanctuaries, marine reserves, biologically sensitive marine habitats, and human health are not protected by NOAA or any other government agency at this time.

The Atlantic, the Pacific & the Gulf of Mexico are all in harms way as the U.S. Navy, and in some cases the U.S. Air Force, have initiated multiple 5-Year Warfare multiple range testing on both land and in ocean areas.

Your coastal region, including island areas, may already have a Navy draft or final environmental impact statement online ready to be approved by the Navy and rubber-stamped by NOAA...Check the pdf files below for information regarding your coastal region or state for public comment deadlines or Environmental Impact Statement current status. Find out if there is already an ongoing weapons and sonar testing program in your region that has been approved. (Note: 5-Year Warfare Testing is taking place in Southern California and Hawaii at this time.)

Obama's Bush Doctrine in Korea

A key reason that Obama was elected President was his promise to abandon the Bush doctrine of unilateral foreign policy, meaning that Obama would work with other countries toward a more cooperative, peaceful world. The threat of war in Korea exposes Obama -- yet again -- as a dangerous copycat of Bush's approach to global politics.

A simple way for Obama to live up to his campaign promise would be to immediately agree to China's request to continue the six party talks over the Korean situation, involving North and South Korea, Russia, Japan, China, and the U.S. The last such meeting was held at the end of Bush's term. Here is what Obama said about the six party talks on Veterans day while visiting Seoul:

Report: WikiLeaks Docs to Show US Military Supporting PKK in Turkey�s Civil War

"The PKK has been officially listed as a foreign terrorist organization by the US State Department since 1979, which would be reason enough that the Defense Department cannot legally back them. It is doubly problematic in this case, however, as the PKK has been fighting Turkey, a NATO member and close military ally of the US.
The Pentagon is said to have praised the PKK as "warriors for freedom" in official documents and has ordered detained PKK captured inside Iraq released. They are also said to have provided the organization with weapons."

NMFS' authorization of lethal sea lion removal rejected by Appeals Court

Points for reversal include NMFS' inadequate explanation of how sea lion killing is consistent with the Marine Mammal Protection Act; of how predating sea lions effect "significant negative impact" on decline or recovery of listed fish populations; and why a predation rate of 1 percent would have such impact. The Appeals Court orders that the earlier decision enabling lethal removal be remanded back to NMFS.
