After the great turnout for the 3/31 IndyMedia videos of resistance showing at It's a Beautiful Pizza, we wondered why everybody had not picked-up his/her own dishes, etc., and put them in the dining room bus tubs? We think that most folks know that is how it's done there. The owner has hosted many events for many of our issues. It's important that we honor that and thank him by putting the place back the way it was after we move chairs and tables around too.
There seems to be a lot of name-calling and sterotyping going on. I've been guilty of this too many times. People in the "peace movement" should all be aware that WE are all soldiers in the "War on Terror"- terror being the insane actions of the Bush Administration. And we must take pride in this- The mass-media keeps saying things like 75% of people support Bush, etc- we know this is not true.

tell us again the editorial policy?
Peace is not everything but without peace everything is nothing" (Willy Brandt 1982). The civilization project aims at abolishing war as an institution and eliminating force.. Justice and the strength of the law should replace power interests and the right of the stronger.
Translation from the German
Doesn't it bother the war supporters that the government is caught lying multiple times every day? You'd think if the actions of this administration were so noble and just they would just tell the truth.

No War but....
I'm very amused to find that the rightwing, waste-of-skin trolls are using my name to post. This suggests that some of my comments really stung their pathetic little egos. Good on them. Below you'll find some constructive suggestions to perhaps make time spent downtown more productive.

Arming Iraq and the Path to War, by John King
2003-03-31 | This is an accurate chronology of United States' involvement in the arming of Iraq during the Iraq-Iran war.
news from the enemies' camp.
torture, killing and worse in iraq ... not to justify the current war ...
aparently sanctions worked to enable this sick regime ...
This Bush Administration proposal to gut the National Forest Management Act , if implemented, will lead to the widespread removal of environmental protections, as well as severely restricting public input. The deadline for comments was extended to April 4! Sample letters can be cut and pasted-- this is really nasty-- many times they have tried to get this through over the years... Please at least email by going to the website.
bummer
The BLM lands are public lands... The Bush administration has put into motion legal ways to trash Wyoming by mining incredibly intensively over the next decade. This will be the priority for the BLM, and mining claims are now waiting for this plan to be finalized. Not many people live in Wyoming, so it is doubtful many comments will come from there. Hopefully we who care about the future of public lands will speak out by April 7-- sample letter below.

Ghazwan Al-Mukhtar, 59, is no ardent supporter of Saddam Hussein. He loves English pubs and American diners, often visited the UK and points out he was even educated in the US. He is no friend of the Iraqi regime. He just hates George Bush and Tony Blair more.
Bombings kill 48 more civilians south of Baghdad- At this rate civilians will start taking up arms against "liberators" with no prodding from the militia.
we need to have a more visible and thus more effective die-in this sunday- one that's city-wide. die- ins have been perhaps the most serious and obvious reminder of exactly what 'liberation' means to the people of iraq. because of the gravity of the message we are trying to send, this project is going to require a lot of support and participation from every concerned person in portland, even if it's only for a few minutes...

Picture yourself in your favorite national forest. You could be camped in a damp and fragrant grove of old-growth cedars in the Pacific Northwest. Or you might be hiking a trail in the Rockies that's littered with the golden hearts of aspen leaves. But no matter what national forest it is that gives you pleasure, you can be sure that some piece of it will be destroyed if the Bush administration succeeds in its efforts to weaken the U.S. Forest Service's 2001 Roadless Area Conservation Rule.
Washington Post
Sunday 30 March 2003 KIFL, Iraq -- Ten days into the invasion of Iraq, the political imperative of waging a short and decisive campaign is increasingly at odds with the military necessity of preparing for a protracted, more violent and costly war, according to senior military officials.
As major media struggle over how gruesome and realistic war coverage
should be, one alternative newssite has been shut down for posting "inappropriate graphic content." Marquardt reports that Vortech stated it would much rather risk a First Amendment lawsuit than a lawsuit from a relative of a soldier shown on the website.
"This is the only time in my many years serving America that I have felt I cannot represent the policies of an Administration of the United States. I disagree with the Administration's policies on Iraq, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, North Korea and curtailment of civil liberties in the U.S. itself. I believe the Administration's policies are making the world a more dangerous, not a safer, place. I feel obligated ...to resign from government service..."
On March 20th a fellow American, Maher (Mike) Hawash was arrested ("detained") as a "material witness" by the FBI and the Joint Terrorism Task Force in the parking lot of Intel Corp's Hawthorne Farms parking lot. At the same time gun toting cops broke into his home and interogated his wife and children. Mike is being held without recourse in solidarity confinement at the prison at Sheridan. He needs our help!

Urgent call to all the friends of Indymedia Argentina. The want to evict us today!
recent report is that the firefighting of oil well fires contract has gone to Haliburton- Kellog (yep, kellogs cereal corporation) -- no other bids were considered... Halliburton is also one of five large US corporations invited to bid
for contracts in what may turn out to be the biggest reconstruction project since the Second World War. The others are the Bechtel Group, Fluor Corp, Parsons Corp, and the Louis Berger Group.

I posit that the Western World has evolved from a right-brained, holistic/directly-connected worldview to a left-brained, linear/abstract worldview over the last few millennia, and now we're spiraling back again.

Last night, It's a Beautiful Pizza was packed to overflowing for a night of VIDEOS FROM THE RESISTANCE. Some people even stood on the sidewalk outside and watched through the windows without sound.
A neighbour told an AFP journalist that two missiles fired by coalition warplanes on Saturday night caught five sleeping families living on the farm.
The raid left 20 people dead - eleven of them children, seven women and two men. Ten others injured in the attack were taken to hospital...."Five children were turned into human torches in this house because of the gas cylinders inside," one of the two survivors said, wondering how God spared him while four other family members were wounded.

Take this with a grain of salt. I've yet to decide whether this is a trustworthy source of information on the war in Iraq. But it's very detailed, and often the predictions here turn out to be true. I hate to be put in this position of not being able to rely on any media source - I certainly can't rely on the American media, which is feeding me nothing but Pentagon briefings. And I have to be very wary of believing a source like this. But if nothing else, it's an extremely interesting read.
A local protest junkie reviewed the War Day protest as if it were a movie. He gives a lengthy "plot summary" before a review. It earned an A-. The article also includes lots of pictures. The site also has earlier reviews of protests around Portland.
