Sea Island was surrounded by warships and police during the G8, but these activist pirates were not deterred, laying siege to the island to spread their message!
Ok, I am now officially off of the American-bashing bandwagon. Also, I'd like to point out that the two MythBusters guys must have been smoking hydrangia when they did the chicken gun myth test, and again when they sought to retest.
![]() Sizer (badge #18161, hire date 1/3/85) is a familiar face to people who've attended protests downtown. She often acts friendly and will address activists by name. But many of us have seen her quickly switch, Jeckyl & Hyde like, and lose patience and order brutality. According to Portland Copwatch Sizer was given a written reprimand for failing to order an investigation into the beating of James Ladd by two off-duty Portland police officers in January, 2002. Sizer is also a defendant in the ongoing Marbet v. City of Portland case, which was filed after the notorious behavior of the police at the Aug. 22, 2002 Bush Protest in downtown Portland. When a HAND board member light-heartedly suggested that "we ought to have more protests over here to make her feel at home", the officer chuckled and said, "Yeah, and you can break in the new guy downtown, too."

One in three Lane County residents struggles to pay for medication or doctor visits, and one in five is having problems coming up with rent or mortgage payments.
I can see why Baraka was a nobel laureate. This poem shocks me, makes me fidget, the imagery strong in its cadences of rythm and soundbites. Its media barage voice blaring the hatreds of misconceptions, its terets like condescions towards all people is jarring. Baraka, born leroi jones, is famous for his controversial verse. Image a new world. Write it&Rise up!

Starting a permaculture community garden on a contaminated landspace involves phytoextraction, using plants like Brassica juncea to remove the heavy metals like lead from the soil..
Motion Picture Association of America gives Farenheit 9/11 an "R" rating, meaning that no one under 17 can see the picture without begin accompanied by an adult. Moore noted that it was "very possible" that many teenagers who were now 15 and 16 would be "recruited to serve in Iraq in the next couple of years. If they are old enough to be recruited and capable of being in combat and risking their lives, they certainly deserve the right to see what is going on in Iraq."
"in the end, not seeing "F9/11" would be like allowing your First Amendment rights to be abrogated, no matter whether you're a Republican or a Democrat"

Portland is my home, although I did not grow up there. This summer, I have opted to take a sabbatical in the midwest. I am visiting family and friends in the midwest and on the east coast, hopefully I can do more regular updates as it strikes me. Currently I am in Northwest Indiana, about thirty minutes outside of Chicago, where I grew up. And i want to let people know that while I may write like I am not a part of it, i definately succumb and agree alot...indicting myself.
Protest follows Bush administration policies on logging, wildfires
when I lived in Phoenix during 1990s, any Palo Verde shutdowns or mishaps were always reported in the local/national news media as "no releases of radiation" . . .
then we'd call up an employee inside contact at the plant itself who would confirm that a radiation release had occurred. --------------------------- "This was the fourth unexpected shutdown at Palo Verde this year. Three of those involved radiation leaks."
On Saturday, June 19th, tens of thousands of people -- those who have health insurance and those who don't, those who fear losing coverage and those who have too little -- will join together across the country to bridge the gap in health care.

So. You're going to hear a lot of nonsense about Michael Moore over the next few weeks. You're going to read a lot of commentary about this film from people who haven't seen it, and you're going to read nitpicky bullshit from the usual self-appointed fact checkers. Not to mention a lot of truly ignorant bloviation about how much Michael "hates America." My advice is, ignore it all. Go see the movie, decide for yourself. And on the way out, be sure to tell the usher, or the manager if he or she is around, that you appreciate the theatre giving you the opportunity to do so.

MoveAmericaForward.org (a misnamed group, if I ever heard of one) has mounted an e-mail campaign to harrass theater owners showing Michael Moore's new film, FARENHEIT 9/11. Why not counter their blitz by investing some time in writing to the same theaters and THANKING them for having the courage to air the film?

The Frozen Potato Products Institute appealed to the USDA in 2000 to change its definition of fresh produce under the law to include batter-coated, frozen french fries, arguing that rolling potato slices in a starch coating, frying them and freezing them is the equivalent of waxing a cucumber or sweetening a strawberry.

When Mike D. showed up for his court date last week, Judge Thorn decided to throw Mike in jail, stating that he hadn't kept in close enough contact with his lawyer. They are keeping Mike in the Clackamas County jail until his court date on 6/23/04. We need you to call his lawyer, Leonard Kovac at 503-659-5545, and ask for a release hearing for Mike.

My brief report on assessment of state/local economics with URLs.
The UNCTAD, an organization founded 40 years ago, was a noble attempt by
the underdeveloped world to create in the United Nations, through fair and rational international trade, an instrument to serve its aspirations of progress and development. There were lots of hopes then and the naïve idea that the former metropolises were aware of the duty and the necessity to share that goal.
Sibel Edmonds was scheduled to have a hearing on Monday in U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia to determine if she could testify in the lawsuit. However, Judge Reggie Walton decided last week to postpone the hearing
Edmonds noted that her hearings have been postponed four times since the fall of 2002. She said her testimony would help people have "a complete picture" of the terrorist attacks, especially with regard to what she called "semi-legitimate organizations." "They would see the real picture of activities before 9/11 and the involvement of certain semi-legit organizations. I know many people automatically assume we're talking about only religious or charity organizations, but it goes way beyond that," she said. Edmonds said she wants to testify publicly, under oath, about what she knows, and she hopes that other people in the Justice Department will come forward. "First of all, their duty is first to the country, not their loyalty to a certain organization or a bureau," she said. "Number two, they would be doing it not only for the public; they would be doing it for themselves because these issues involve all of us."
![]() The political party for which he stood, fully understands the nature of the British establishment and NWO... aka... Royal Institute of International Affairs; CFR; Bilderbergs; Synarchists; Nazis, Fabians etc. etc. etc. Our "secret" agent ran on a platform of telling the truth about who controls the three main political parties in Britain... AND against an established, sitting opponent who is a household name in the area of the election. Our RMN Agent knew that doing it this way, was always going to be a difficult task, but he reports, "revealing the truth on "the doorstep" went down well." "Actually spelling it out to them and giving them a brief summary of the history of the oligarchy from 1893 to the present day gave them the explanation that had been absent. The response was incredible." "One family had delayed going away on holiday so that they could vote."

Did you read Blackthorn's latest issue? It was awesome as always, with one exception: an article called Overkill. This is a letter describing the issues that I found to be discouraging in this article. If you didn't read the article, well, basically, what I have to say is that the problems we face are the results of many forces, and that we shouldn't point fingers at the innocent and powerless, and also that when we as 'radicals' use anthropology to make our points, we should look at who we get our info from.
