PARIS (AFP) - Excessive commercial fishing can encourage a genetic bias in fish breeding, wielding a potentially major impact on stocks, according to a study into Atlantic cod, once a dietary staple in northeastern Canada and Western Europe.

The young American Marine is exultant. "It's a sniper's dream,' he tells a Los Angeles Times reporter on the outskirts of Fallujah. "You can go anywhere, and there so many ways to fire at the enemy without him knowing where you are."

BALTIMORE (Reuters) - Maryland state workers plan to drain a suburban lake after the discovery of the same voracious, "walking" fish that two years ago prompted them to poison a smaller body of water, officials said on Thursday.

American Troops use Saddam's tactics to torture and humiliate Iraqi's in Abu Ghraib prison...

Why is Dan Rather suddenly doing some legitimate reporting? I don't get it? After all these years of reporting stories of no interest, stories that support the idealistic vision of the U.S.A. Perhaps this story is better than the story of Fallujah ... and the closing of hospitals and over 600 dead, three days ago (no new stastics on this yet_.

People squat for many reasons, including advocacy for the homeless, and protests for affordable rent. Squats often take the form of community centers, as squats are often the result of community action. Present-day squatting alliances, such as "Homes Not Jails" and "ASS" exist...

"The American government has created a virtual reality out of misunderstandins and false assessments. Now it is a victim of its own false information and lies.. This administration listens to no one and believes it has a mandate from God. The greatest folly was the war itself.."

When discussing foreign policy it is best to be a loud white male who does not think that the police beatings on national tv of young black teenagers in any way indicates a conspiracy after all, as you buy the next round for the all white bar enjoying cops before fox news, most of the folks who get their heads bashed in on Cops are white, and isn't that saying something?

A second unit of the Iraqi armed forces has mutinied at Fallujah after being involved in heavy fighting with insurgents Ali Allawi, the Iraqi Defence Minister, said yesterday.

Part of the 36th battalion of the paramilitary Iraqi Civil Defence Corps revolted last week after the unit had been fighting in the besieged city for 11 days, the minister told The Independent yesterday. Mr Allawi blamed the mutiny on "a failure of command. The commanding officer was absent, his deputy ... was seriously wounded and the number three faltered".

Calpine's proposal for geothermal drilling of Medicine Lake was pulled from the agenda in Sac Water Quality meeting. Now would be a good time to find a way to protect the healing waters of Medicine Lake before Calpine tries again to push development (they will, nature of the corporate beast)

The quagmire for the United States in Iraq today is much worse than it was a year ago when it began the offensive to displace Saddam Hussein, and its own coalition is showing signs of stress and coming decay.

ACLU challenges the Patriot Act

There has been a lot of discussion on various threads about political violence vs. non-violence. Various people and organizations appear to have opposed the march last Saturday due to their opinion that the organizers advocate violence.

All the various comments, many of them harsh and aggressive against the idea of political violence, started making me think about this more.

From "Back to Basics, Volume Three: A Primer for a Balanced Existence Amid the Ruins of Civilization"
in Green Anarchy #16/Spring 2004

We are often asked what our vision of society looks like, what kind of world we are fighting for, or how we would like to live. As anarchists, it is important to always keep this question open. While we can certainly agree on some basic things we are against: domination, hierarchy, control, government, representation, etc., what we are for is endless. This primer is an accumulation of our collectives' observations, experiences, and some suggestions on how one could reconnect with wildness and to becoming feral. We come from the dirty chaotic moving earth, not sterile white stagnant boxes... and this is our journey home.

Civilization, very fundamentally, is the history of the domination of nature and of women. Patriarchy means rule over women and nature. Are the two institutions at base synonymous?

Springtime has finally arrived! It's time to start sprouting and budding after the necessary dark and inward period of theorizing, reflection, and debate. It's time to get moving again and prepare for action! In our last issue of Green Anarchy (#15) we spent a lot of time focused on tactics and strategy, including articles on summits, sabotage, and armed resistance. It was also a special theme on the Left, including Part Two of our "Back to Basics" series, entitled "The Problem of the Left". As anti-civilization anarchists, we feel that the Left is not only a failed political orientation and a bankrupt position which has never questioned basic assumptions of the current arrangement (technology, division of labor, economy, progress, and organization), but in fact, it is antithetical to liberation and needs to be abandoned. While understanding what we are against and why is important in our project of de-civilizing, in this issue there is more focus on what we are for, the reconnection to wildness. So, while we have our usual elements of resistance to the mega-machine and our anti-civ/post-left analysis, we also focus on something we are doing in our lives, but which sometimes gets overlooked and even downplayed in these pages: rewilding.

The WTO has ruled on a complaint by Brazil that US cotton subsidies represent a WTO-illegal unfair trade practice. One can assume that other agricultural subsidies will also run afoul of the WTO. Agri-business may be in for trouble.

Humor - Rush Limbaugh "admits" what he is!

It is commonly thought that a school is a building that warehouses children, teenagers and adults for a certain clock controlled period, as if it is a mandatory stage before work or between careers. However, there are others, educated on the principles of free education, and on the works of some radical philosophers in education (Illich, Ferrer, Robin, Freire and Kozol, for example); who also understand that organizers, students and teachers are human beings, and that each person has his/her particular needs and desires for an open learning environment.

Bruce Whelan, the Lakota leader of the Shannon County Republican Party, took issue with Limbaugh's comments - "I am kind wondering what history books Rush Limbaugh was reading from."

MAY DAY BREAKFAST For Labor Unions With Dennis Kucinich (public event)

Went on the Cascadia Wildlands Project hike from Eugene on Sunday... haven't developed the pictures yet, but we visited 4 Units at Straw Devil and I'd like to share my experience...

I returned to Canada Monday to check in on Tre, and to testify to his good character at his Immigration bail hearing. I found that violent cops and despotic rule are every bit as prevalent in Canada as they are in the US, and justice every bit as rare.
I also found one of the most amazing groups of activists I've ever encountered.

Forest Service Law Enforcement as well as their stash sniffing dog paid environmentalists at the Straw Devil Timber Sale an unfriendly visit yesterday afternoon.

They began their visit by pulling over a person who had been visiting the forest for not wearing a seat belt on a logging road. They blocked her in with two forest service SUV's, took all of her information and issued a ticket before speeding off to further foul deeds.
