The Prejudice of Popularity in Courtrooms
I found it interesting that Michael Jackson brought his family to court with him recently. What is the point of defendants bringing family members to court? It seems to go beyond the obvious, which would be emotional support. Instead, it separates society's vulnerable out for abuse.

Nader Oregon campaign responds to fraud allegations
As many of the media savvy are now aware, there has been a new and savage attack on our campaign. This started last week as we received news from petition circulators, (both paid and volunteer), stating that they had gotten a letter in the mail from a law firm stating that they were "under investigation" for fraudulently filling out the petition form. As an example, one person "under investigation" was a lawyer that had just herself and her family sign. One elderly lady had two people show up at her house past 9 pm telling her that she was under investigation and that she might do jail time for not filling out her forms right. All of her forms were in compliance.

After years of intensive counter intelligence activity and disruption of Martian plans for the subjugation of Earthlings the department of inter-planetary defense is coming out publicly to decry the federal under funding of this department, essential to the defense of the homeland, and to confront charges that the department is unnecessary. The goal of the Department of Interplanetary Defense is to sit beside all the other agencies, which are recognized as essential to the defense of the United States and American freedom.

Operation Truth visits the DNC
The Kerry Campaign gave us the invitation; however, they did not utilize our voice in an effective way. In fact, they seemed wary of our message. The Kerry campaign only invited three veterans of Operation Iraqi Freedom to the convention (Paul was one of them).
The war in Iraq continues to be the 800-pound gorilla in the room that no one wants to talk about. Well, Operation Truth will talk about it-and then some.

The middle-class tax burden has grown since 2001, even as it has fallen for high-income Americans. The top 20 percent of taxpayers shoulder almost a percentage point less of the overall share of total federal tax liabilities. The combined shares of middle-income earners for federal tax liabilities have risen almost 2 percentage points.

Coming on the heels of a national poll which cites Portland as the fourth most overpriced city in the country in which to live (rating higher than San Francisco!), another NW utility begs for -- and will get -- permission to impose an 18%+ rate increase on its 501,000 residential customers in Oregon. Once again, privately owned utilities are not asked to assume any of the burden for fluctuation in the market.

The protestors presented a slide show of threatened areas to educate the Senator and his aides about the on-the-ground destruction caused by their pro-logging policies.

FDR prolonged -- not ended -- great depression
Two UCLA economists say they have figured out why the Great Depression dragged on for almost 15 years, and they blame a suspect previously thought to be beyond reproach: President Franklin D. Roosevelt. After scrutinizing Roosevelt's record for four years, Harold L. Cole and Lee E. Ohanian conclude in a new study that New Deal policies signed into law 71 years ago thwarted economic recovery for seven long years.

They may be right, but Mr. Chavez made it clear some time ago that he is not leaving office. His democratic opponents have few avenues for recourse.

Florida's at it again, trying to drop 'felons' from rolls
In the national "Crossfire" that passes for political debate these days, we observe much arm-waving about whether the latest "terrorist threat" warnings are on the level or merely designed to take voters' minds off bad job news, bad Iraq news, bad Afghanistan news, etc. I boldly suggest not a single mouth-flapper on either side has any idea. How would any of them know what al-Qaida is up to?

Think John Kerry wouldn't do things like that? Here's a reality check, excerpted from our new book, Dime's Worth of Difference: Beyond the Lesser of Two Evils, hot off the presses.

What to Do if the FBI 'Drops By' Your Home or Office
US Government's COINTELPRO - Still Undead
The stinking corpse of the FBI's infamous "Counter-Intelligence Program", or COINTELPRO, which was used from the 1940s through the 1970s against Communists, Anarchists, Civil Rights Activists and sundry other decent working-class militants, and which was "allegedly" discontinued in 1971, is fully risen from the grave once again.

An effort by the US Forces and CIA imposed acting Iraqi Prime minister, Iyad Allawi, to squash the resistance movement of upstart Islamic cleric, Moqtada Sadr, has culminated with a siege of one of Islam's most sacred shrines.
There remains virtually no way for US forces to transform this mission into a success, but another tremendous blunder by US Forces and Iraq's appointed government could likely be the result.
Here is a summary.

The "war president" now wants to be a "peace president". In the other corner of the ring, Kerry is pumping himself up to be the "war monger president".

On Saturday, August 14, from 11am to 2pm, folks came to People's Food Co-op for a money-free barter event for home-grown, home-processed, or wildcrafted food. More people brought a greater variety of goods than last year's event, in part because the scope of the event was widened to include tinctures and fresh food. People brought all kinds of jam and preserves (incl. plum, blueberry, marionberry, blackberry, orange, strawberry, and more), pickled cucumbers, beans and carrots, canned fruit, applesauce, home-made herbal tinctures, fresh kale, dill, squash & tomatoes, home-brewed beer, and urban wildcrafted plums. Everyone seemed delighted with the trades they made at this anti-capitalist event. One woman walking by tried to buy a tincture, but was told that wouldn't happen! (Eventually, she was given the tincture for free, with contact info if she wanted to acquire more later.)

PGE wins round 2, but PUD effort will continue
Judge Janice Wilson has ruled that forming a PUD from part of a municipality is unconstitutional. The WEPUD campaign was not able to participate in the first hearing, and has been denied the right to intervene in the case afterward. Despite being removed from the November 2004 ballot, public power supporters refuse to be daunted by dirty tricks. The PUD campaign is planning its next steps, which will probably include an attempt to bring the PUD back for the May 2005 ballot.

Portlanders enjoy tour of local worker-run businesses on "World without Bosses" bike ride
On Sunday, August 15, over 50 folks showed up for the "World without Bosses" bike tour, which was organized by the recently-formed Portland Alliance of Worker Collectives (PAWC). The event started with a delicious and energy-building vegan brunch at the City Bikes Annex (SE 8th & Ankeny) cooked by people from two PAWC cafes, Redwing (SE 6th & Market) and the Red & Black (SE 22nd & Division). Local musicians Schicky Gnarowitz and the Transparent Wings of Joy entertained the crowd at the Back to Back Cafe (6th & Burnside) with their vibrant, klezmer-infused sound. Riders got to inspect the presses at Stumptown Printers (SE 11th & Morrison), and ride through the labyrinth of Free Geek (SE 10th & Mill). The newest business on the ride was Gallery CO7 (7th & Harrison), which is an art gallery and performance space. Pictured here, the riders are enjoying lemonade and vegan cookies at the Red & Black . The riders also took 3-4 turns around Ladd's Circle. Much of the time, it felt like a Critical Mass ride. Looking behind me, i would see the street full of riders from curb to curb!

He's a bad example and an example of how marijuana can destroy somebody's life. Pot obviously made him a lazy slacker, who became one of only 11 players in NFL history to rush for over 1,800 yards in a single season in 2002. He should have continued promoting Paxil, like that Terry Bradshaw dude.

for the last 2 1/2 years there has been a slowly-growing movement to provide remote un-wired and an-powered village in India with internet and simple mediacal diagnostic equipment, moved and powered by bicycle. While the bike is being pedaled form village to village the generator system charges up the power pack with enough capabilty to provide 8 hours of use, using wireless technology to connect to an ISP.
An effort by the US Forces and CIA imposed acting Iraqi Prime minister, Iyad Allawi, to squash the resistance movement of upstart Islamic cleric, Moqtada Sadr, has culminated with a siege of one of Islam's most sacred shrines.
On Saturday, August 14, from 11am to 2pm, folks came to People's Food Co-op for a money-free barter event for home-grown, home-processed, or wildcrafted food. More people brought a greater variety of goods than last year's event, in part because the scope of the event was widened to include tinctures and fresh food. People brought all kinds of jam and preserves (incl. plum, blueberry, marionberry, blackberry, orange, strawberry, and more), pickled cucumbers, beans and carrots, canned fruit, applesauce, home-made herbal tinctures, fresh kale, dill, squash & tomatoes, home-brewed beer, and urban wildcrafted plums. Everyone seemed delighted with the trades they made at this anti-capitalist event. One woman walking by tried to buy a tincture, but was told that wouldn't happen! (Eventually, she was given the tincture for free, with contact info if she wanted to acquire more later.)
On Sunday, August 15, over 50 folks showed up for the "World without Bosses" bike tour, which was organized by the recently-formed Portland Alliance of Worker Collectives (PAWC). The event started with a delicious and energy-building vegan brunch at the City Bikes Annex (SE 8th & Ankeny) cooked by people from two PAWC cafes, Redwing (SE 6th & Market) and the Red & Black (SE 22nd & Division). Local musicians Schicky Gnarowitz and the Transparent Wings of Joy entertained the crowd at the Back to Back Cafe (6th & Burnside) with their vibrant, klezmer-infused sound. Riders got to inspect the presses at Stumptown Printers (SE 11th & Morrison), and ride through the labyrinth of Free Geek (SE 10th & Mill). The newest business on the ride was Gallery CO7 (7th & Harrison), which is an art gallery and performance space. Pictured here, the riders are enjoying lemonade and vegan cookies at the Red & Black . The riders also took 3-4 turns around Ladd's Circle. Much of the time, it felt like a Critical Mass ride. Looking behind me, i would see the street full of riders from curb to curb!
He's a bad example and an example of how marijuana can destroy somebody's life. Pot obviously made him a lazy slacker, who became one of only 11 players in NFL history to rush for over 1,800 yards in a single season in 2002. He should have continued promoting Paxil, like that Terry Bradshaw dude.
