Is 2004 the Year of the Hurricane? It depends on where you're considering it from. If you live in the US you'll certainly think so, because the state of Florida has been struck by three in a month, and as America dominates the world's media, the story has had huge attention right around the globe. And now a fourth storm has devastated parts of the Caribbean.
However, although to have three tempests of the intensity of hurricanes Charley, Frances and Ivan burst through one state in the space of four weeks is certainly unusual, the fact that all three made landfall so close together in time and space may well be pure chance. Of course this article fails to discuss the other views, though here is a summary of what just the hell happened in the past month. Nice discussion if you want to learn something about the history of grading hurricanes and the naming of them. And nice introduction to scalar potentiality in the attached articles.
"We're not inside your home or your business," Mayor Daley said. "The city owns the sidewalks. We own the streets and we own the alleys."
I have now come to the conclusion that Pdx IMC editorial seriously needs to edit the comments sections, at least on my articles, for flamebait. I feel like the same 10 guys are following my every article with incoherent flamebaits and disrespectful bullshit and it needs to be stopped.
![]() Islam was questioned in Bangor, Maine, by Customs and Border Protection agents. Dennis Murphy, spokesman for the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, said Islam is scheduled to be deported today on a flight to Europe. "He is being detained on national security grounds," Murphy said. He declined to elaborate. SEE ALSO ![]()

Richardson is completing a four-volume work on third parties. The first volume, Others: Third-Party Politics From the Nation's Founding to the Rise and Fall of the Greenback-Labor Party, was released earlier this year; the second volume will be released in October. Richardson said today: "While pro-Bush forces helping independent candidate Ralph Nader get on the ballot have garnered headlines -- most recently with lawyers in Florida representing Nader and the Reform Party who argued on behalf of Bush during the 2000 election fiasco -- another important story is how pro-Kerry forces are blocking Nader from getting on the ballot across the country.
The problem with the reservoir covers began when the Portland City Council reversed itself earlier this year, canceling plans to put floating covers on the city's open water reservoirs.
That left the Water Bureau holding about $400,000 in covers it had already ordered.
Sorry I was away. Just found out my brother had cancer and I had to take time to meditate. I'll find out if he is better in a couple of weeks. I hope that those who are making the transition to a vegan lifestyle will print these poems and put them on your fridge. As always we can find ways to go further and be more! Resist and beautify!
Why is it that just about every animal rights story becomes a feature? Is it time for an animal rights page?
Re-enactors of the Voyage of "Conquest", ritualizing the continuing misbegotten white settlers' genocidal search for identity, purpose and meaningful tradition, draw seething scorn and resistance from the Unconquered. This "commemoration" is a parody of the Orange Order buffoons periodically parading through Irish Republican neighborhoods.
Nader can be Kerry's trump card if Kerry is willing to make a deal.
The government in Iraq may actually consist of a loose coalition of Iraq clerics, with offices established in the various political districts of Iraq.

"The United States will sell Israel 5,000 smart bombs, for $319 million, according to a report made to Congress a few weeks ago. The funding will come from the U.S. military aid to Israel, and the bombs range from airborne versions, guidance units, training bombs and detonators"
.... If the funding comes from Military Aid to Israel, isn't that "giving" them the bombs?!

New website exposes OHSU's waste of public money while people die from budget cuts
Thank God Koffi Annan has again used his bully pulpit to speak the truth about US war crimes. The man is showing some real backbone today and deserves MAJOR applause for his gutsy speech right just prior to W's disgraceful effort at the UN.
Pessimism can decide elections. So can optimism.

We were six toasts into the wedding dinner when the conversation turned, as conversations usually do, to the possibility of a Republican theft of the election in November. "That's when we hit the streets!" declared the Cuban American community organizer from Pennsylvania. "Yeah!" bellowed the retired union president from Long Island, and we all pounded the table and raised our glasses yet again: "Everybody hit the streets!"

Palestinians, mostly civilians, including 6 children, were killed and dozens of other civilians were injured by Israeli troops. The difference between the suicide bomber and soldier(s) killing civilian population including children, is the IDF uniform and the US tax dollar in foreign aid .
"Rainer Roth in `The House of Cards' puts the mechanisms of the capitalist economy on trial.. To counter the long-term descent of the profit rates, the tax burden for businesses, a constant 21% from 1960 to 1980, has spiraled down to only 8% today.."

The corporate media makes you appreciate Indymedia much more. These genocidal killers deserve nothing less than the firing squad and until then, a punch in the nose every time you run across one of these in the street. Gone are the days of fawning over their lowly representatives as if they were messangers to some god merely because they might get your ego on the air!! Thank you WR Pitt, this is valuable.
"We're seeing new types of people going AWOL [absent without leave]," says Steve Morse from the Central Committee for Conscientious Objectors. "They've returned from Iraq and are extremely stressed by the war."

Solid, no bullshit article from a soldier who is there in Iraq, risking his life for an "un-Constitutional mission". In this age of endless media spin, we need to hear more voices straight from the people, without the filters. The Iraq situation is dire, and the American public needs to demand a change in Iraq's course from our so-called public servants.

It's in the interest of the illuminati to keep current governments in place, i.e. that Bush wins. So Kerry plays the role of the idiot crook (btw, the same situation now in all NATO countries). The controversy that CBS was ordered to play has two main objectives : - distract the masses by convincing them that Kerry is fighting Bush to death, even capable to resort to forgery ... - convince the masses that Bush is better than Kerry, who has to resort to forgeries to attack Bush ...
Nobody in the news media cares that Bush has committed perjury and contempt of court in formaldegate or that he got a whitewash over Harken Energy after he ran crying to daddy.
there is an important update for the Torture by Pepperspray trial on PDX IMC today. This is an important trial for the whole US.

The Pentagon has announced that the Active Denial System, a weapon that uses focused microwave rays to make its target "feel like their skin is on fire," will be deployed in Iraq. The intended target of this weapon is unarmed civilians. This weapon has recieved coverage here before, but this article contains new and more in-depth information.
For the last two months our friends with Colorado's Western Slope No-Fee Coalition have been negotiating with the House Resources Committee to try to limit the scope of Rep. Regula's permanent Fee Demo bill HR 3283. It is now clear that those efforts have failed. The amendment that will be offered at markup on Wednesday 9.22.04, will still include Basic or Standard Recreation Fees for use of our public lands, an "America The Beautiful" National Pass, Advisory Committees to rubber stamp fee areas, and all the incentives for the land management agencies to treat you as a customer.

![]() What is hot news this month in the USA is a five-year-old story to the rest of the world. And you still wouldn't see it in the USA except that Dan Rather, with a 60 Minutes producer, finally got fed up and ready to step out of line. And, as Dan predicted, he stuck out his neck and got it chopped off.
