DIGNITY VILLAGE UPDATE: Over the past two weeks, a number of major developments have occurred that may present a new set of opportunities and challenges to Dignity Village. The city prevailed upon ODOT (owner of current site) to grant a 60 day extension to remain on the current site at 17th and NW Savier. This takes the heat off for the moment, but also means that we still face a serious September 1st deadline, as ODOT is not expected to cooperate with any further extensions.
Hey Portland! Come join us.
In this analytical essay, Washington state anti-capitalist activist Jason Adams takes on the "new regionalism" of free-market capitalism, focusing on the Cascadia region and the recent PNWER protests.
Eugene's weekly live public access TV show, Cascadia Alive! is rebroadcast in Portland every Sunday at midnight and Monday at 10 pm. It only makes sense then for CA to solicite video submissions from P-town! If anybody's got local or international news, commentary or documentary of up to 15 minutes (less is great) you can contact CA via the Cascadia Media Collective @ www.cascadiamedia.org and
 thecmc@efn.org The show's got a large viewing audience here in Eugene and hopes to gain attention in Portland. You can help by contributing and/or spreading the word about the rebroadcast times.
The riots on the streets of Genoa last week were the worst violence seen in Europe for
decades. But the secret 'torture' of Britons in police cells was even more horrific. The truth is finally emerging.
New challenges of the civic society and how you can participate.
This is what my take on the whole whistler event is:
After going through the painful process of reading several very mixed accounts of what happened in Whistler, I feel compelled to add my perceptions of the truth to the debate.
Here's a plan to offset the huge costs of these protests so the citizens of the host cities will be on our side:
Between The Lines' Melinda Tuhus spoke with GAIA's founder and president, Bill Rankin, about his organization's work and the challenges posed by cultural and social discrimination against women(A RealAudio Version of this interview may be found At
 http://www.btlonline.org).
Between The Lines' Scott Harris spoke with Alex Veitch, of the Sierra Club, who examines the strengths and weaknesses of the accord and the effect U.S. rejection will have on reaching Kyoto's goals of reducing greenhouse gas emissions(A RealAudio Version of this interview may be found At
http://www.btlonline.org).
Scott Harris spoke with Vittorio Agnoletto, spokesperson with the Genoa Social Forum, a group representing more than 800 international organizations that supported the protest against the G-8 summit. He discusses the demonstrations and police violence which occurred in Genoa.
Italian Judicial sources said this weekend that General Alfonso Mattiello would be asked to
account for the actions of a detachment of his 1,000-strong black-gloved force, the Mobile Operative Group (GOM). The unit, part of the penitentiary police, has a history of brutality.

It's high noon in Whistler and the protests are heating, um, I mean, cooling offfffffffff! ...I mean warming up..I mean...I don't know what I mean!

The protest in Whistler continues to build. People are continuing to arrive, and the numbers are growing.
From the police confession article:
"The main gate opened continuously - tells the police officer - out of the vans came youth while getting a beating. They made them stand against the wall. When they came in they smashed their heads against the wall. They peed on someone, others were beaten if they didn't sing fascist songs. A girl was vomiting blood and the chiefs of the prison police just watched. To the ladies they said that they were going to rape them with their sticks...well, it's a waste of time telling what you've already read."
In essence, Yohn refused to accept the confession of Arnold Beverly as an addition to a writ of habeas corpus filed originally in this particular court on Oct. 15, 1999.

ITASCA, Ill. July 25 (Reuters) - Police on Wednesday arrested 20 peaceful activists, including singer Bonnie Raitt, who were demonstrating against logging practices outside an office products company.

Don't believe the hype about the protests being cancelled. This is an information war, and we can never forget that. The PNWER protests are on as scheduled. The group that has been organizing for it in Vancouver has been meeting daily. People are already up there in Whistler right now. It was covered by the media today and will be all weekend.
Sending a letter to the Italian consulate is futile
Black Blocsters are political activists, we may disagree with their praxis and theory, but we don't deem them as brainless Pavlov dogs foaming at the sight of truncheons.
Moreover, they are more fanciful than people think: a few months ago Black Blocsters split off a demo in Buffalo, entered a destitute neighborhood and picked up garbage. When journalists asked what the fuck they were doing, they answered: "You wrote that we would trash the town, we decided to pick up the trash!
This is a good piece on Black Bloc organization. Go to the link for the full text (this is only an excerpt). The Struggle Continues!
It is clear that most of the so-called Black Bloc in Genoa (of whom none were genuine anarchists) were cooperating with the Italian Police and serving as agents provocateurs, to give the police the necessary "justification" to smash heads and confiscate information. This is an important issue- this will happen more and more frequently, as police forces around the world learn this trick.
I am certainly not suggesting that the real Black Bloc is to blame for these things, just that their image is being used to hide infiltrators (and will be used again, no doubt).

I've gone back over the events at the Trade Center in my head a lot and rechecked my notes prior to this post. Before I said my piece I wanted to make sure I had my facts as clear as I could get them. This is what I saw:
350,000 in the streets, direct action, reformist bullshit and intense police brutality.
AP reporter falsly claims on this site to be the victem.
At least one hospitalized here in Portland, others injured.
"The problem with children, and with working class children in particualr, was that they refused to be integrated smoothly into an oppressive society. ...The child savers turned political problems into adjustment problems. Instead of seeking political solutions to the problems of young people, they chose therapeutic remedies, thereby deflecting criticisms of capitalism onto its victims."
This is a call for a fax action in solidarity with the nine
remaining Zapatista prisoners. In Portland and elsewhere we can help by joining the fax jam of the consulate in SF (Fax: (415) 392-3233).
