Randy Leonard is squaring off with challengers Mark Lakeman, Frank Dixon, Bonny McKnight, and Scott Stephens at the www.news4neighbors.net website. This week each candidate laid out their view of their own qualifications...

This March for Justice and Police Accountability begins an effort by the people of Portland to:

1) Ensure Jason Sery, the Portland Police Bureau officer who shot and killed unarmed James Perez is prosecuted for murder.
2) Ensure a Citizen's Committee to Oversee the Portland Police conduct is established with independent disciplinary power.

Inspired by PDX's cop card deck, I have begun to pursue names/photos for a Seattle Worst Cop deck. In trying to get photos/names of officers ON DUTY IN PUBLIC, I am encountering a literal circus, even with a muni code says I have a right to ask their names...

It feels like the peace keepers and SNOW see their role as one of censorship and control. Protesters shall not be angry. Protesters shall not raise their voices. Protesters shall not veer off the police approved march route. Protesters shall OBEY!

Solidarity with Venezuela

A home for children with hiv forces otherwize healthy and symptom-free children to take medicine that makes them violently ill for medical research.. this website tells a story of a concerned aunt who tries to get her neice and nephew out of the place where they surgically install feeding tubes in children who refuse the medication. Even after having the tubes installed, many of them take several nurses to hold them down to put the medicine in the tubes. Mostly wards of the state, these children are being tortured to test new AIDs drugs.

I was clickin' around indymedia.. my connection is slow so i'd read one thing while another loaded. I can't find the link to the article that origionally posted this articile but its worthwhile to repost it.

why the divide?

Two poems. Today I loved my bike ride home... I was singing made up blues songs when I got home--- and I realized I had made it home without a man threatening my life or trying to sexually harrass me! Pretty damn good day for a bike ride... It sucks but I guess I can't stand even one photograph of one iraqi child- I don't need more! So I ride like the wind! Rising!

No doubt the vast majority of Kucinich's rank-and-file supporters want to see a real political alternative. That's why they should build that alternative outside the Democratic Party, an organization one of whose main purposes is to assure that such an alternative never develops.

"While she's still on the ground, on her stomach, they tased her in the back and in the breast," her lawyer said.

At the very end of tonight's Nightline (which I only catch when channel surfing), Koppel showed video footage of the coffins coming in to Dover which have been so controversial of late. He mentioned that George Sr. was the one who halted the display of coffin photos and video footage after he was embarassed by a screen juxtaposition which showed him making a speech as coffins arrived at Dover in a split screen.

The deck of cards, intended to help save citizens from attack and opression, has finally been uploaded. We are at least a year away from being able to legally force the PPB to give up photographs of these cops, but many of these cops are known to indymedia readers. Send in those photos!

print this and put it everywhere...

City officials are unable to reassure us that they can stop the police from killing again.

I apologize for the length, but I have to say all this before it strangles me.

Bush Administration Secretary of Interior Gale Norton will be at the Oregon Zoo Saturday, April 24 at 10 am to greenwash Threemile Canyon Dairy, Oregon largest concentrated animal feeding operation (CAFO). This 'farm' (and the Bush Administration for that matter) is harmful to the environmental, hurts workers, jeapordizes public health and harms animals. See below for details.

Now don't get any ideas . . .

Accepting the official story of the 9/11/01 attack requires one to accept a long series of anomalies -- extremely improbably events, amazing coincidences, and contradictions.

The United States is commiting war crimes right now in Iraq, meanwhile calling a popular uprising '200 guys from syria', drug dealers, thugs etc. The Iraqi governing councel has 'officially' reduced the number of Iraqis the US coalition killed in Fallujah, saying only 18% were civilians. We need to tell people what is really going on in Iraq, and hold this government accountable. This is ridiculous!

The rally is scheduled to begin at the Multnomah County Courthouse at 4:20 p.m. The march, which begins about 5 p.m., will head north on SW 4th Avenue and continue to SW Taylor Street. From there, marchers will head westbound on Taylor to SW 9th Avenue and southbound on SW 9th Avenue to Salmon Street.

More are more are returning ...

Wednesday 21 April 2004, there was a fight between some cyclists and some motorists during a bicycle pub crawl in SE Portland. This post is a record of the events of that evening, without much analysis.

For immediate release.

Paey is disabled as a result of a 1985 car accident, failed back surgery, and multiple sclerosis. Today he sits in a Florida jail for illegally obtaining more than 28 grams of painkillers containing the narcotic oxycodone.

Silicio and Katz blew the whistle on sexual harassment at Halliburton. Now they're blowing the whistle on the Bush administration's coverup of fallen US soldiers.

"This is our big Eureka moment, because this is the first time in the world that such large quantities of cellulose ethanol have been made," said Jeff Passmore, vice president of Iogen on Wednesday, the eve of Earth Day.

In the second installment of our three-part series on May Day, Seven Oaks will address the international significance of the workers' holiday.

Many people have suspected the World Trade Center was wired with explosives, causing the unprecedented collapse following the impacts of two jumbo jets. In fact, NYC firefighters remarked that day that it seemed like bombs were going off in the buildings, just prior to the tower's collapse. One glaring question remains unanswered: exactly how and when could such a monumental undertaking be accomplished. Read on for the answer...

``I don't own an SUV,'' said Kerry, who supports increasing existing fuel economy standards to 36 miles per gallon by 2015 in order to reduce the nation's dependence on foreign oil supplies.

Time and Place of Tre's next Hearing

Choice Organic Teas / Granum, Inc. is working with students groups for Fair Trade in celebration of the upcoming World Fair Trade Day.

Recently Senator Ron Wyden has called for permanent protection of 160,000 acres of wilderness forests in the Columbia River Gorge and surrounding areas on Mount Hood, including designating 36 miles of free-flowing rivers as Wild and Scenic.

It is not difficult to demonstrate a pattern of state repression. People of color, the homeless, disabled, poor, and politically radical- have been violently targeted by "Portland's finest." Couching this discussion in the context of party politics is abusive at best. The political machinations of this local government have been supported, and have continued across party lines. It is time to recognize that the political systems of this country are fundamentally corrupt, and act accordingly. This post was made in an effort to further demonstrate the historical context of state repression in Portland. See you at the march!

On March 24, 2004, at PSU, speakers from NW Haitian Association, Bolivian Circle of Oregon and PCASC/CBLOC described the U. S. role in the recent coup in Haiti, efforts to destabilize Venezuela, and an overview of US intervention in Latin America.

Re: Photo's of nice guerrilla spray paint work.

In the mainstream daily newspaper comics this week, two characters have been crippled in GW2: a cousin of Rob WIlco from the strip "Get Fuzzy" and long-timer B.D. in "Doonesbury".

I couldn't help but be reminded of the art from the German Expressionists after World War One....

The IPR is (supposed to be the link between the police and the city). Civilian review boards are crucial. Public inquest is crucial. But where's the justice? WE ARE THE PEOPLE! I think the city could give a shit about the citizens. So they limit the IPR behavior. It's our jobs as citizens to show the city that we will not stand for their laziness and lame duck behavior. Take to the streets. I will be there if you ask me.

Words from Kucinich...

This poem is by james agee. Inserted into this months Adbusters. Start brainstorming your culture jamming... Ah Bush did you listen or did you murder yoru own countrymen with a "I had to do it" shrug. Blood for oil is met by the red and black resistance. All over the red and black are aknowledged under different names but we resist you bush! Murdered-

Give him a medal for helping kill thousands of Iraqis. Then act surprised when he applies his military training, a.k.a. violent conflict resolution, to his domestic life. Of course, what is so "heroic" about the most powerful military in history invading and occupying a small and defenseless country?

here's where the american legion post #1 in portland is located. these are the racist fucks that gave an award to jason sery, the MURDERER of James Perez.

Jo Wilding returns to the besieged Iraqi city with aid supplies, is kidnapped by insurgents, and lives to tell the urgent, compelling story.

Grand Jury: black skin, (unknown) cocaine in blood, and hand in pocket = JUSTIFIED DEATH! apparently even though SERY had no idea about the contents of Perez's blood, the fact that Perez wouldn't leave the vehicle in less than 24 seconds and the claim that Perez had a hand in a pocket is reason enough for Sery to shoot Perez THROUGH THE HEART!

we are creating an amazing new zine about allies and oppression. we need your help, so please submit. we are just getting started and need all you rad zinesters to share with us!

Thanks all for coming to the Village Building Convergence benefit last weekend. I had a blast, and I hope everyone else did too. But I also want to spread the word about the work groups we have every Saturday at the farm.

Pentti Linkola is one of the few ecoradicalists who have broken past moralizing objectives.

Contestants compete for prizes of up to $3,000, with each question they answer correctly they move one step closer on a virtual map towards Jerusalem.

Should a contestant successfully reach Jerusalem the show plays a favourite Hezbollah song which declares "Jerusalem is ours and we are coming to it".
