From the Code Pink Website, Thursday May 29th ( a week from now ) Code Pink will be demonstrating against the FCC at 4:30 p.m. in front of the Clear Channel Offices at 4949 SW Macadam Avenue (wish I had a clue where that was or what bus gets you there)
And later in the evening there will be a celebration focused around activist Emma Goldman at In Other Words
This article describes the raid in St. Louis on Friday -- On FSTV report they said there was an IMC that was also housed here, although that isn't mentioned in any of the stories I've been reading on st. louis imc.
Heard it on KBOO -- Sounds pretty nasty-- 9 activists arrested, the house they were staying in closed/boarded up, with a "Condemned" sign on it, all the toiletries stuck into the toilet, stuff urinated on, video cameras smashed, bikes confiscated and returned with tires slashed, helecopters following groups larger than 6, felony drug possession charges (dropped) for Vitamin C...

Here we go again!
THOUGH MANY had anticipated a cakewalk for the media in undermining the war on terrorism, instead liberals are caught in a quagmire of good news about the war. Predictions that liberals would have an easy time embarrassing President Bush have met unexpected resistance. They're still looking for the bad news they said was there.
"Strengthening local markets, developing fair trade relations, taxing income justly, expanding public demand, using wealth for social prosperity, rebuilding ecologically, extending social systems, creating dignified jobs, disarming and preventing weapon exports are goals and demands that we champion to contribute to another world. If the peace movement, globalization critics and unions unite their struggles, sand can be thrown in the gears of neoliberal globalization." Translated from the German
Finnish Government registers contain false and incorrect information. Would You believe in a such State? Finland's civil officials have also used systematic methods to silence their citizen. A bit differently to the third nations' methods, but clearly enough to see their marks. How reliable is such a State, who's registers carry only propaganda value? Cash trade only.
FromTheWilderness want to do a follow-up ad to the "pay no attention to that man behind the curtain" one that reached 2.5 million people last week.

Composted comments don't appear in the compost bin.
The feds face bills that are far beyond our capacity to pay -- by $44 trillion to be precise. The longer we ignore them, the bigger they get.
Yet President Bush is working overtime to deepen our fiscal trap.
A prediction: The trails will continue early next morning and on through the day. The white haze that today ended up in will thicken to cover the majority of the sky for the majority of the day. The spraying will continue for perhaps 72 hour total, give or take, and we will likely not see another concentrated spraying effort for several more weeks.

To slow the spread of smoking, especially in poor nations, where smoking rates are soaring, the World Health Organization in Geneva voted for unprecedented and potentially deep restrictions on tobacco products.
For the second time, Sen. John Warner (R-VA), chairman of the Armed Services Committee, has delayed consideration of the promotion of an Army general who commanded the base where one soldier beat a fellow soldier to death. The decision drew praise from the National Transgender Advocacy Coalition (NTAC), which also requested that the general's promotion be removed from further consideration.
Just for future reference...
The car--or SUV--has become a basic capital good which our system must mass produce. The very act of producing gas burning vehicles, however, conflicts with the future of human life on the plant--global warming, ozone layer depletion etc... Bush's policies exacerbate the environmental issue. Instead of confronting this reality, Bush and his followers pray that the end will soon come. Perhaps his troublesome teenage twins contribute to his desire to bring it all to an end.
This is a message that I received from the Dennis Kucinich Presidential Campaign. I am inspired by this man. I hope you will be too. He presents a great opportunity for the "developed world" to move in a different direction. At the very least, he presents an opportuntiy to challenge the self destructive policies of the corporate fudamentalist members of the "Democratic" party.
Just as George Bush and his criminal gang stole election 2000 by committing high crimes and misdemeanors, today the commander and thief in his speech before the Coast Guard commencement class attempted to steal the real answer to "Why do they hate us?".
Fed policymakers see deflation as possibility in postwar US economy amid setting of high unemployment, "sluggish industrial output," and buyers holding off for lower prices.

words from me in my quest to find peace
Maybe Karl Rove has moved his office into the "Matrix." Maybe Laurence
Fishburne is auditioning for Ari Fleischer's job. Maybe it's all just a bad dream: "The White House Reloaded."
Take Action, let the DLC now that it is the lack of "backbone" that has allowed Bush to get away with whatever he wants. We need a Democrat who stands up for what is right, and doesn't take the safe road. Let them know that since the day they were given leadership positions in the party, there has been no unified message and the Republicans have continued to increase their grip on power.

After weeks of editing and sending out for bids from book manufacturers, we though we had found the right company, with the right price, to print RAISING OUR VOICES: AN ANTHOLOGY OF OREGON POETS AGAINST THE WAR. We sent it off early last week, and have been waiting patiently for our blueline. Instead of a draft, today we received a package with our book in it, a returned check, and a letter from the company....
Case in point: perfect example of opb's tecnique of deleting an alternative

This article, forwarded to me by a student at De Anza college in Calif, and forwarded to her by the Students For Justice group, brings to light what an orchestrated "rescue" it was when Jessica Lynch was rescued. She had NOT been shot or stabbed and all the explosions/guns etc were blanks and set off just for the camera. There were NO Iraqi soldiers there for 2 days before the US showed up to "save" her.
Read this... Once again our government shows what a bunch of liars they are.
During a lull in the fighting between the ethnic militias, the U.N. personnel were given safe passage to allow them to relocate internal refugees from a crowded compound in the center of the city to a larger one near the airport.
George Soros, the famous investor/philanthropist—outspoken Bush critic—tells UN he's willing to sponsor monitors of US management of Iraq's oil industry after it grabs these spoils of war.

Portland's Geek Network For Social Change is working on putting together a shipment of a couple hundred computers to support their work. This is a follow-up to a shipment of 235 computers which we sent to the Ecuador Indymedia Center in November.
"In 1900, one farmer fed three consumers. Today over eighty cvonsumers depend on one farmer..Productivity is decisive..The economy is far more productive now than in the fifties, sixties and seventies because seniors of today saved in their active time and invested capital..Future growth will decide over the size of the cake that can be distributed between the old and the young..The propagandists of a "war of the generations" have been at work for more than a decade.."

for those going to the sacramento mobilization in june...
Yeah, even though the mainstream media is mostly monopolzed already, and it seems like there's no hope to ever change that fact... still, ... at least 2 dozen radio stations in Portland are owned by 2 companies, clear channel being one of them, another out of philly being another... local musicians don't have a chance when this happens to radio.. and this regulation allows more than one kind of media to be owned by one corporation... takes a few seconds to go to www.mediareform.net .... go ahead, might make a difference...
The Libertarian Party thinks it has the answer the homeless are in dire need of: elimination of all zoning laws, land-use regulations, growth-control measures, building codes, and rent control laws.
In 2002, the fiscally conservative Club targeted 19 congressional races and won 17. The 9,000-member Club is the No. 1 source of campaign funds for Republican congressional candidates, aside from the party itself. It targets Republican incumbents whom its officers deem too liberal...
This is very exciting news. If this keeps up, there could be peace in the middle east. These are brave souls!
This article published in Nov. 2001 confirms the original story published by Le Figaro in Oct. 2001which asserts that the CIA met with Usama Bin Laden in a Dubai hospital in July 2001--two short months before 9-11. Though the original story was of course denied by the Pentagon and the hospital management, no such denials were ever issued by the attending physician in charge. This article seems to confirm the fact that the CIA did indeed meet with their asset. No doubt to consult with him about impending plans for Sept. 11.
