Bush and Blair have lit a fire which could consume them
The Iraqi uprising will drive home the forgotten lessons of empire
Just watched O'Reilly Factor while doing stuff (it's entertaining, it's so
openly fascistic, no attempt to hide behind a liberal veneer), he interviewed a top Kerry foreign policy strategist, Chris Lapetina, an ex-Marine, he said what's needed is to flood Iraq with US troops and put down this rebellion. O'Reilly kidded him with "Ted Kennedy will have a fit", Lapetina responded "Ted Kennedy isn't the party's nominee".
Weight of Empire by CJ Ciaramella. This poem speaks to me about the angst of the earth. Sometimes I wonder if the only reason we have not been swallowed alive is becuase we are the cramps of the earth while she has her period but as soon as she quits bleeding she will get off her ass and get shit done, cause she just wants life for all not just a few. Earth Liberation!
With the worst fighting since George Bush formally declared the war over last May, the US-led coalition lost control of several areas. The most humiliating reverse was at Kut, when Ukrainian troops were forced out by a Shia militia.
The coalition position worsened considerably last night when the most senior cleric in Iraq, Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani, a moderate, refused to condemn Mr Sadr's uprising. Instead, he condemned "the methods used by occupation forces in the current escalating situation in Iraq ... and any action that disturbs order and prevents officials from carrying out their duties".
After Iraqi children slaughtered in Fallujah for continued oil theft occupation, maybe the American SUV drivers need a fucking wake-up call..
CAIRO (NFTF.org) -- As tensions mount in Iraq and some media outlets label events an Iraqi uprising, U.S. military sources may have commited a faux-pas in explaining Wednesday's rocket attack on a mosque in Fallujah, which left some 40 civilians dead

URGENT ALERT TO PEOPLE IN CALIFORNIA AND OREGON RE: JEFFERSON PUBLIC RADIO - THE CLEAR CHANNEL COMMUNICATIONS OF PUBLIC RADIO
You may be aware of increasing instances where NPR affiliates, acting more like Clear Channel Communications, are swooping in on unsuspecting communities and stealthily purchasing existing local radio stations and their FCC licenses in order to build their (non-profit) empires. We in northern Humboldt County, CA are the latest victims

(summary by reposter) As opposed to another notorious complaint that struck me as clear disruption, this is a relatively reasonable report/heads up/whatever about an ongoing street violence problem in PDX right now. Homicide is fucked up no matter who is doing it. It was posted as a comment. I think it's article material.
"Imagine eight months before Pearl Harbor, an officially designated group of 14 Americans had told Roosevelt that the Japanese would attack some place somewhere and Roosevelt did nothing" -- that's what Bush did in early 2001.

As we talk about the death and destruction overseas, with much concern and desire to end it, don't overlook the destruction of sentience and life that you contribute to in your own life. It's easy to be an activist outraged at what happens across the world; much harder to be one who looks at the suffering one contributes to personally, and to change.
For anybody taking herbal supplements you might want to check out this story if you havent already.

Joe Bean Keller started a website to get out the truth about what happened to his son, Deonte. Deonte Keller was gunned down by the Portland police in 1996. It wasn't enough to murder Deonte, now the PPB is harassing the Keller family by spamming the website devoted to telling the truth about that crime.
5000 Iraqis marched on a fort in Najaf on Sunday to protest the closing of a newspaper and the US arrest warrant on a cleric. Suddenly soldiers opened up killing 30 and wounding hundreds of women and children. It turns out these were fucking mercs from Blackwater Security ( 4 fools set up by Mossad )
But al-Sadr's al-Mahdi Army launched heavy gunbattles with coalition forces in the streets of three southern cities Wednesday and, for the first time, in the north. Al-Sadr fighters battled American troops in the town of Baqouba, northeast of Baghdad, hitting a U.S. helicopter with small arms fire. The OH-58 Kiowa chopper was damaged and forced to land, but the two crewmembers were unharmed.
The black-garbed gunmen of the al-Mahdi Army also had virtual control of Kufa and Karbala, where Iraqi police lay low, allowing militiamen to move freely and acting only to prevent looting. Militiamen in Karbala clashed with Polish patrols that moved through their areas, and a cleric who was a senior official in al-Sadr's office in the city was killed. Portraits of al-Sadr and graffiti praising his ``valiant uprising'' appeared on mosque and government building walls in the Sunni city of Ramadi. Peaceful protests in support of al-Sadr occurred in the northern cities of Mosul and Rashad.

How much testimony can Rice give in 2 1/2 hours? Not much because with every question she will answer with a prolonged speech.
The Aljazeera crew, including cameramen Layf Muftaq and Hasan Walid, sound engineer Sayf al-Din and correspondent Hamid Hadid, are the only media personnel inside the town.
so..how bad is Negroponte? Couldn't be worse. He ran a Contra training camp in Honduras, oversaw the torture of many, helped establish a variety of brutal dictators in South America.... and most telling of all he's a friend colleage of Kissinger the war criminal. geez
I spoke with Tre last night, he says he is well, and he wanted me to thank all the good folks who have been faxing character reference letters to his attorney, Tim Russell, and also the many kind people who have been writing to him.

Awad said CAIR has also received an anonymous letter from a soldier who recently returned from Iraq that claims a commanding officer engaged in inappropriate conduct with prepubescent Iraqi girls. The letter states that the officer, who was named by the writer, referred to the girls as "pre-rag heads" and coerced local Iraqi leaders to provide them in exchange for protection by American soldiers. (The officer's military unit was also named in the letter.)

Have we made our understanding of the self more difficult by ignoring Einstein's observation that time is just another dimension? If we fully embrace the theory that time is a dimension equal in all ways to the three spatial dimensions, a theory of consciousness and identity, radically different from the prevailing folk theory on consciousness and identity would emerge. This new theory would have profound implications on the notion of the self as an individual. Before we explore this new theory, let us examine the prevailing western folk theory on consciousness and identity.
The continuous succession of lies about Iraq and the ever-changing justifications for an immoral and illegal war against the Iraqi people.
Ralph Nader appeared Monday evening, April 5, 2004, at the Roseland Theatre in downtown Portland. Various reports as to the size of the crowd have been offered, but the last figure given by those who were counting was somewhere around 725.
Ahh, PDX, do you know how much I miss your spring tulips? What a good spring nest is Portland. May all of you greet each other with flowers, smiles, bare bike legs, vegan chocolates. May you toast each others health, spend days watching forest park change, may your eyes look far off into the sky kind of squinting as if to see me coming back again to hug you.
Gosh, now how is the U.S. media going to frame the Iraqi Intifida against the occupation, now that is clear that what is happening is not a "civil war" but a broad based uprising against the occupation?
Nader also told the Roseland audience in Portland on Monday that Bush should be impeached.

http://www.dissidentaction.com (The House that AIDS Built) THEN The New York Post the story has now made it to the highly respected British daily 'The Observer'.
Lithuania's parliament impeached President Rolandas Paksas, drawing a line under a five-month corruption scandal only weeks before the former Soviet republic joins the European Union.
The affair that has rocked Lithuania -- which last week became a NATO member and is set to join the EU on May 1 -- surfaced in October, when Paksas' office was accused in a security services report of having ties with shady figures. The fate of Paksas, who became president just 15 months ago, had effectively been sealed after Lithuania's constitutional court last week found him guilty on three counts of breaching the constitution.
Swedish researchers said Tuesday that mobile phone radiation may damage cells by increasing the forces they exert on one another.
haha, here's a hilarious cartoon spoofing "Queer Eye For the Straight Guy", except with a right-wing makeover instead of a gay makeover. I've reposted the e-mail I received below from an unknown sender.

This Middle East policy is in the interest of the economic elites who dominate both US political parties, but it's obviously not in the interest of the people of the region, nor of the people of the United States.
Consequently the US is building the world's largest embassy eventually to be staffed by 3,000 people in Baghdad. The CIA station in that city is already the largest in the world, larger even than the CIA operation in Saigon at the height of the Vietnam War.
Slaughter of 800,000 in 1994 remembered in low-key ceremonies
So okay, I admit this is second-hand info -- that is, I wasn't there, but I got a report from this event right afterward from a certain pink-haired rabble-rouser who was there.
Story is, in Oregon, if you can get 1000 people together in one physical location, you can nominate someone to the ballot in Oregon. So the plan to get Nader on the ballot this way. Personally, I was all for it. Anything to piss off those whiny Democrats, especially the ones still passing on the fallacy that Nader "lost the election" for Gore. (Hello! Something like 15% of the voting Democrats in Florida chose Bush! That would be Gore's problem, thank you very much! To say nothing of the tens of thousands of people of color illegally kicked off the rolls, and all the shenanigans at voting stations where people were turned away. Just go read gregpalast.com, crybabies.) Anyway, only 600 people showed up (I was gardening until late and spaced that it was that day), so the plan failed. My pink-haired friend started heckling Ralph, though, and also aimed his sites at Portland lawyer, Greg Kaffoury, the spotlight-coveting Naderite well known for defending Tre Arrow (he gets points for that) and holding a prominent place in Nader's 2000 campaign. I guess he really laid into both of them.
