Corporate media reports on peace marches across the nation... without simultaneously slandering them!!!
wow!
Critical Mass riders participate in Radical Feeder March, then ride downtown for three hours
Police and corporate media estimate at least 20,000 at today's demo.
Vancouver WA had a rare peace march today. Usually, we just hook up with Portland.
A spirited group of bikers splintered off from the radical feeder march to ride a critical mass ride through downtown Portland urging everyone to reduce the dependency on oil and the excuse for war.
Have you heard of National Century Financial Enterprises? The Enron of healthcare, it was a business based on buying medical bills from hospitals at a discount, then trying to collect them. It was the largest source of funding for hospitals in the country. In August, it collapsed, leaving hospitals unfunded and salaries unpaid.

Noam Chomsky describes Robert Fisk of The Independent as the best western journalist working in the Middle East. He has been covering and living in the area for 25 years. Here he describes the origins of the planned war on Iraq (or rather the great intensification of it, since the Gulf War never really ended) in a Group founded by Dick Cheney, among others in 1997.
The following collective declaration, "Poetry Matters: On the Media Persecution of Amiri Baraka," was originally issued by the Surrealist Movement in the U.S. in October 2002. Posted on this website and rapidly copied onto other sites, it attracted the attention of many—poets, writers, artists, musicians, and activists—who wrote in to affirm their agreement with it. As the number of supporters grew, it was decided to re-issue the statement with signatures.
A while back a few folks did some mass work to get together gear for a collective that we felt was emminent. This is a call for anarchists interested in organizing this collective- folks that want to escalalate the anarchist scene and tactics in this rose city.
If anyone would like to march with a fellow indymedia geek...

Protesters rallied by the thousands in the bitter cold of Washington on Saturday and in capitals worldwide in a passionate show of dissent against war with Iraq. The cry "No blood for oil" echoed from America's National Mall to the streets of Pakistan.
I have a theory about Bush Admirer.
BA posts to most of the various Indymedia sites, usually knows a lot about protests, but distorts it to come from the angle of right-wing propeganda. I wander if BA isn't a Bush Admirer after all, but a person (or group of people) who has taken it upon their self(s) to play "devil's advocate" to the movement. I have seen BA posts result in both: a) anger, general BA-hating and b) more coherent, beter articulated arguments. Whether or not BA is on "our side," I think that we should think about the potential possitive side of having people like this on our sites.
Hundreds of millions of people are forced to work migration between countries and continents.. People turn into socially uprooted vagabonds of markets.. Flexibility as a rule means shifting the risk to dependent employees and delegating responsibility downwards: more output and more stress for less money

Just wanted to point out to everyone that Bush announced his 'out of the blue' University of Michigan Affirmative Action Case on Jan. 15. This just HAPPENS to be Martin Luther King's actual birthdate. Coincidence???

The birthday of the nation's most famous peacemaker, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., will be celebrated by many thousands of people today in the South Park Blocks in downtown Portland during a march that has been organized under the theme "Take Action for Peace and Justice; Stop the War at Home and Abroad."
With his sudden focus on domestic policies, Bush is dogging the wag...
Interview with Janice Sevre-Duszynska, former Lexington, Ky. high school teacher, conducted by Between the Lines' Melinda Tuhus
People in Vancouver, B.C. have started planning the North American Social Forum to be held in
2003.
In the words of a Washington-based diplomat, the "neo-crazies" - as the increasingly nervous neo-conservatives are being called - have "painted the president into a corner." They have put him in the impossible position of having to choose between waging a high-risk war in the teeth of international opinion and suffering the political humiliation of allowing Saddam to survive.
Anti-war protestors around the world are letting President Shrub know that they are united against US imperialism.
NYT Caracas correspondent Francisco Toro's obsessive anti-Chavez position in Venezuela was publicly known after last April's coup when he began sending emails to Narco News and other journalists who he placed on his own mailing list attacking Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez. That the Times hired him in the first place was a violation of the Times' own claims to objective and disinterested reporting. But regarding Venezuela, it was not the first.
City Commissioner Erik Sten has introduced a Resolution to be heard by City Council Wednesday, January 22nd at 2:00 pm. The resolution will be sent to our congressional delegation, the President and the United Nations. It asserts that ?war should only be the last resort, after exhausting all diplomatic and political means, and that war is not to be undertaken unilaterally or preemptively by the United States.? Read the text of the proposed resolution at www.pdxpeace.org. Over 40 cities have already passed similar resolutions as part of the Cities for Peace campaign.

all over the country today people will be protesting the war. of course, if enough people lived their lives anti-war (not driving, not over-consuming, not knuckling under to authority) then we wouldn't need these big efforts, but these events are important in the meantime. (although "meantime" is probably not too long, considering the imminent collapse of the biosphere.) anyway, get out on the street today and make some noise!
The Bush regime seems to have tied the laces of their own jackboots together. According to this report from the Wall Street Journal newswire (WSJ is owned by Dow Jones), the US-backed attempted coup in Venezuela (using the Chile-in-1973-style) has forced the US to depend on Iraq to prevent an oil shortage. If the US invades Iraq it will have to depend on Venezuelan oil or face oil shortages. If the coup in Venezuela had succeeded, no problem. But now . . .
Writing in The Guardian of London (the largest-circulation daily in Britain), a Professor of Public Health tallies up the cost of a transportation system based on individual ownership of automobiles. They include war; in Iraq and elsewhere in the future.
Gulf War II The flash simulation is an interesting animation showing how the coming war is not something between Country A and Contry B, but a regional conflict that will involve other nations nearby, who may not behave as predicted by the Bush administration. Interesting, amusing and a bit scary. Its kind of like 'civilisation' but could be starting next week ...check it out
