A poem about Chief Kroeker going to Israel to learn about terrorism
Education is one of my pet peeves - ever since I graduated High School with the feeling that I had somehow been shortchanged. I was right.
to stop the war, revolution is the only path
Central American solidarity movements did it on a small scale during the Reagan years. International Solidarity Movement is doing it in Palestine. Now Gulf War veteran Ken O'Keefe and the Univeral Kinship society generating the impetus for folks to go to Iraq
This article from Narconews suggests that the USA is preparing to send Marines to Columbia to fight in that country's civil war in February 2003--in absolute violation of US law. More shockingly, this report suggests that AmeriKan spooks in Columbia are responsible for staging various Fake "Terrorist" bombings in Columbia and blaming them on FARC (sound familiar?) in order to manufacture public support for ratcheting up the war against the Columbian rebels.
Expect any US casaulties from this war to be either ignored or ascribed to US battlefield casaulties in the coming invasion of Iraq.
The murder of countless innocents might even reduce gas prices to $1.10 a gallon. If "it goes badly", gas could be $5.00 a gallon, but that's the "worst case scenario" according to government-mouthpiece AP. My favorite part is about "Iraq's fractious popultaion make(ing) governance next to impossible".
Photos from the Jan 4th Taco Bell protest at 21st and Burnside NW
The US government is preparing to unleash a wave of military violence around the world not seen since the 1930s and 1940s. The closest historical parallel to the foreign policy of the Bush administration, in its unabashed reliance on brute force and aggression, is that of the Nazis.
...and show him the community is very concerned about using our tax dollars to put shotguns into the hands of twelve-year-olds and teach them how to kill wildlife.
(i honestly thought this was a gag at first. it's not. indyposter)
a brilliant article on why activist organizations often fail; there's a lesson for the liberals here. activists involved in the the global indymedia network has used similar means as described below, by contrast, and there are over 100 IMCs now. reposted from http://www.breakyourchains.org/disorganization.htm

A local forum was held at the First United Methodist Church on Jefferson Street.
Several points of view were presented on the damage that would be caused if the Bush administration follows through on its' plans for war.
An opinion on yuppies and their recent involvement in the anti-war moevement
Mike Dombeck, a professor of global environmental management at the
University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point, was chief of the United States Forest Service from 1997 to 2001. This is his perspective about the misguided direction the current administration and FS is taking with regards to the National Forest System. He retired from the FS when he saw the direction the USFS was being told to take byt his administration.
Meet Warren Buffet, the second richest man in the United States, who was holding a 'conference' in Omaha Nebraska on September 11, 2001. This man is part of Mitre Corp. and Mitre is heavily into UAV's (unmanned aerial vehicles). In fact, this little get-together was being held at the United States Strategic Command (USSTRATCOM) at Offut AFB. A number (it hasn't been reported exactly how many but it was called 'a small group of business leaders') of CEO's from New York, including at least one from the WTC, were there.
"The company was working on the developement of remote control aircraft and on Sept 6th I recieved word that some of my people may have been released from China to work on a change over of ATC Radar. I was told they had been contacted to be in a work detail in the WTC which was being renovated."

Here is an analysis of who in Tolkien's works corrosponds to whom
in real life. A great many activists have long identifed with Tolkien's works so I have produced an analysis of who's who. With the movie a blockbuster we can make some propaganda that will really hurt Bush and his corporate masters!
Kip Kinkel Was on Prozac when he killed his parents and opened fire on his classmates. A whole lotta other people are suicidal or homicidal while on Prozac, and other "antidepressant" drugs.
It's all about Revenue.
"The Smurfs are a what? Thats right I said the smurfs are a model of how a communist society should operate."
With material aid from Brazil and other South American and Carribean nations, the government of Pres. Hugo Chavez has weathered the worst of the lockout. The opposition needed to overthrow Chavez before January 1, 2003. Now its leaders are looking to flee.

On the only highway connecting Iraq to Jordan, oil rigs thunder through the desert, ferrying cheap oil from Baghdad to Amman. Jordanian exports flow back, and relations seem normal. Iraq, which supplies all of Jordan's oil at a cut price, is Jordan's largest trading partner.
Only the presence of United States troops in the vast Jordanian desert shatters this mirage.
Two thousand landless families in Guarulhos, Brazil are facing the risk of
eviction on Monday morning. Your international solidarity may be decisive.
As the late Herbert Stein, former chairman of the US council of economic advisers, once said: "If something cannot go on forever, it will stop." This is a tale of irresistible force meeting immovable objects. The force is the growing pile of US liabilities. The objects are the low real returns in other big economies and the unwillingness of many governments to tolerate currency appreciation.
Wonder why pole cleaning occurs regularly? Could it be that some moms never taught their kids to respect others' private property(utility companies & city) or at least clean up their own messes? Could it be that trashed out poles appeal to a very small population? Could it be that freedom of expression doesn't equal trying to visually force advertising on the public through pole graffitti? Don't we already have too much of that?
Originality anyone?
Venezuela is the fifth biggest oil producer in the world, and is the third largest supplier to the U.S. Before Dubya can attack Iraq, he needs to secure the Venezuelan oil supply. For this reason, the U.S. may sponsor a coup in Venezuela within the next month or so. And this is what the strikers want. Their goal is to disrupt Venezuela's economy until the military has to intervene against President Chavez. This strike was choreographed by experienced coup plotters in the U.S.
We gathered - cooked - and talked about the future.
What would happen if you woke up living in a quasi-police state? It is a question that seems entirely academic -- if not absurd -- to Americans who pride themselves on being the leading voice of liberty in the world.
Like personal relationships, the modern world is out of balance. Nearness and distance, individuality and community could be redefined from a faith perspective. Jesus lived the tightrope walk of faith without falling in the chasms of resignation or aggression. This chapter is translated from the German. Happy New Year! May we refuse the false equation of faith and religion, the false standards of conformism and fashionable blaming and scapegoating!
On January 5th at noon a demonstration will be held at the Lower Reservoir - 60th & Lincoln - to demand a halt to plans by the city council for burying the Mt Tabor Reservoirs and effectively destroying the uniqueness of Mt Tabor Park.
As thousands of Pakistanis prepared to demonstrate Friday against the possibility of a U.S.-led war against Iraq, American troops based in Afghanistan threatened to complicate U.S.-Pakistani relations by asserting they have the right to cross the border into Pakistan in hot pursuit of enemy fighters.
When American Dictator George W. Bush claims that a "Day of Reckoning" is coming with respect to the impending US invasion of Iraq, he is only half correct--a "Day of Reckoning" is surely coming but not for whom American politicians believe.
...Citizens Building Democratic Community Institutions. Interview with Todd Tucker, of the Center for Economic Justice, conducted by Between The Lines'Scott Harris
So there you have it, in a nutshell. You can't be trusted and you will never have privacy again -- not on the internet, not with your bank or credit card transactions, medical records, not when you fly on a plane or cross the border, and certainly not if you decide Bush and his neo-con fascists are wrong about forever war and you decide you want to do something about it. As it looks now, things are moving in a bleak direction rather quickly.
The Oregon coast has many activities going on or about to happen to resist war and work toward regaining peace and civil rights. Here's a list from the PASSIONATE PATRIOTS FOR PEACE ...
Annual Tacoma International Day in Solidarity with Leonard Peltier March and Rally

Lord Saruman addresses U.S. soldiers and their families at Fort Hood, Texas, January 3, 2003. Saruman rallied soldiers at the largest U.S. Army base, saying 'crucial hours' may be ahead and vowing that if they go to war against Iraq the United States was prepared crush all enemies.
Four things the coming war against Iraq is not about:
On the 9th anniversary of the North American Free Trade Agreement and the Zapatista uprising against neoliberal globalization, the 20 thousand indigenas EZLN supporters descended from the mountains and took Chiapas' largest city, San Cristobal de las Casas. In dramatic fashion the Zapatista Command broke two years of self-imposed silence.
