All the alternatives begin with resistance against the neoliberal globalization that is increasingly aggressive and openly violent. The essential levers are redistri-bution from top to bottom and an economic policy promoting employment. Both can be tackled in the short term..
Making a killing...
The release of methane from a thawing Arctic could prove to massively accelerate global warming.
We should all be ashamed that the best our smug, self-satisfied president could offer the victims of the Indian Ocean tsunami was $10 million in change and his "heartfelt" sympathy.
Behold a pale horse - William Cooper(perhaps some are familiar). That book contained many "theories", although the author claims facts, being former navy intelligence. In any case, within that book was a document that was supposedly found in an ibm copy machine bought at surplus(1986), the name of the document was, "silent weapons for quiet wars" dated 1979.
I hope the rest of the world will start understanding what manifest destiny is. We are the conquerors; and to the victors, go the spoils. Hasn't that always been the American way? World domination is at hand. Why is everyone complaining about this? Especially this guy below. Love it or leave it.
Just another observation in the spin storm....
Oh silent and unholy night, wrap your cold, starless and bible black arms around your servant, Vera, as she leaves office, in her Town Car, and goes back to the business of shopping. The only thing left to do in Portland...for those who can actually afford it.
Steve Rosenthal is the chief executive officer of America Coming
Together. He was the political director of the AFL-CIO from 1996 to 2002.

Power Concedes Nothing Without Demands
What if George takes the cake?
60.5% of the eligible electorate -- which was 55.8% of the voting-age population -- voted in 2004; 59.5% of the eligible electorate -- which was 54.7% of the voting-age population -- did so in 2000. In short, it took a whopping 30% rise in campaign costs to achieve practically the same turnout rates as 2000.

My good friend Lisa Goldrosen notes, "The Revolution was derailed by three things: the end of the draft; Roe v. Wade and the rise of the nonprofit sector. Once the children of privilege were no longer subject to any personal pain, it was over. It was a brilliant strategy by predatory capitalism."
While I'm not sure if Revolution, or even Reform, was/is inevitable, I agree. Once the draft and the possibility that middle-to-upper class kids would be sent to fight Imperial Wars was over, it's easy to see how the bottom fell out of the anti-war movement.
Two letters of mine published in this week's Eugene Weekly.
Soldier's Heart
Iraq War vets come home to face serious psychological problems and a failing support system.
This is just exactly what they did with Iraq, according to ex-Ambassador )who had his CIA wife "outed" by Bushies as punishment for bringing truth to fight against Bush's ongoing stream of filth and lies.)
The only people who hate the truth are the ones that are indicted by that truth. "Iran has arrested more than 10 nuclear spies who worked for the United States....[One] spy was an employee of the Iranian Atomic Energy Agency and was the manager of one of the nuclear projects. The intelligence minister said that on another occasion the U.S. intelligence agency attempted to produce fake documents implicating Iran after Tehran agreed to suspend building centrifuges under a deal....The U.S. employed its nuclear spies from some southern Persian Gulf Arab states, but they acted very unprofessionally, he added."
...recollected conversation between Jon Roland and Gary Webb about this very subject: the possibility of Webb's being "suicided", ***where Webb confirms that if he's found dead it would never be a suicide.*** --- In case you're wondering who Jon Roland is, he's a constitutional reporter; he's also the founder and webmaster at www.constitution.org. I called Jon to clarify the details around the revealing email he had sent out to various listserv groups, shortly after Webb's death. When I spoke with Mr. Roland, I asked him approximately when he had this conversation with Webb. Jon said, "after the Mercury articles were written, and Gary had been living in Sacramento 3 or 4 months." Jon also reiterated that Gary had a cache of evidence, left over from his writings that had never been published, which made him concerned for Gary's life. --- To summarize: allegations are made that Webb was working on a new book exposing the hidden Jewish element that is the controlling factor behind drug trafficking in South America. Apparently, a huge drug war in South America is about to erupt. It's characterized as a massive power grab against South American Jewish-drug-lords. The prize is control over the illicit $50 billion cocaine and marijuana market. --- Where the hell are Gary's papers and research documents, evidence, etc.? I've heard nothing about them from the mainstream stenographers - have you? --- The ***DEA raided the office of the literary agent who was helping Gary get a book contract.*** Shortly before we met, one of Gary's associates had been run off the road by a military vehicle in Nicaragua. So now we have even more testimony that Gary was aware of the possibility of being "suicided", and that he was concerned not just for himself, but also for his sources. --- I think Gary was smart enough to have stashed a copy or copies of his manuscript somewhere safe.

The homeless of Portland are beginning to face an uphill battle, the likes of which has never been seen. Two recent ordinances have been passed that criminalize homelessness, and a shooting downtown has added to a public conception of a "threat" posed by the homeless in downtown Portland. When corporate retail executives survey the area, they are not looking at real human beings. They are seeing potential threats to their precious profits, and are using their influence within the city government to try to eradicate these people from their environment.
Yes, it seems obvious but in this time where many of us are with our
family, warm in our homes and having our family shove gifts at us, it is important to remember that things are not like that for the political prisoners and prisoners of war in the U$A. While this list focuses on support for Jeff 'Free' Luers, that is only to focus on what little resources we have to help Jeff, not in denial of the situation of the many political prisoners in american prisons.
Ok, I don't know how to take this, but PDX (by unanimous vote of the city council) is going to ask the state to restrict sales of single bottles of beer. In North Portland. Only. This is just my opinion, if you want facts there is a link to a recent Oregonian article. As usual, my typing and spelling sucks, get over it.
The man who our piously patriotic Republican Party would amend the Constitution to allow to be president offended California nurses recently after postponing state legislation that would require an increase to nurse-patient staffing ratios. Responding to protestors, Gov. Schwarzenegger referred to the nurses as "special interests" that don't like him because he's "always kicking their butts." He later added, "but I love them anyway."

Some 100 anarchists wearing hoods and helmets attacked the St. Panteleimonas police station in Athens. The rioters used stones, bricks, crowbars, flares and Molotov cocktails causing heavy damages to the entrance as well as the interior of the police station. According to eye witnesses the police started firing their handguns when they feared the anarchists would take over the police station. Two cops were lightly wounded. As the crowd retreated, 5 police cars where destroyed. Hours later a 29-year-old builder was arrested and a small axe was found on him, he was severely beaten sustaining a broken nose and a broken ankle. He is now facing felony charges.

Step 2: An immediate Ohio revote if 1 Senator/1 Rep contest Ohio electors Jan. 6
PDX group is helping to overturn Ohio's electoral vote Jan. 6 and force a 'clean' election
found this at TRUTHSEEKER's website, and while I certainly hope it's hype, we must take into consideration "who" the player's are, and then...take caution accordingly. I'll toss this out there for your due considerations thereof!
If it's hype, so be it! If it is based on TRUTH, then the more knowledge aforehand, will keep these creeps from going forth with any evilness...the more know, the less likely they'll undertake such an endeavor! Make sense?
While speaking in his acceptance speech about bringing both parties together, Bush has already shown total disregard for the feelings of the elected representatives of half the citizens of this country by renominating the same 20 names for justice posts which were rejected during his first term. In his mind, "mandate" obviously translates into "carte blanche."
Activists and Anarchists who still believe in ghosts, gods, spooks, and spirits, have no idea that the issues in today's civilization, that they fight so hard to resolve, all began as a result of Old Testament religions. Every single one of them. Protesting an issue, and at the same time, praying to a Jewish god (or Allah) to help resolve the same issue, is like trying to "have your cake and eat it too." What you worship is what enslaved you in the first place.

Dear Sirs: Appalled by the frequent and unpunished killings of animals in Croatia, I appeal to Croatian government for a necessary legislative changes and for strict penalties for perpetrators of crimes against animals.
Most of us will be dependent on Social Security when we retire, and may not survive without it. Young people need to pay attention to this. Sorry to be a bummer, but you will be surprised at how soon you grow old. -- George Bender
The mess-hall bombing in Mosul, say military analysts, signals the final unraveling of the U.S. war effort in Iraq.
Some people just have no respect for the law these days. Unfortunately, they happen to be in charge of our elections.

The Born In Flames conference will be a 3-day conference adressing sexism and sexual assault within our communities. It will be June 24 to 26 at PSU. If you would like to get involved we are having a planning meeting Jan. 10 at 7pm at 2825 NE Dekum.
One of these days the mightiest democracy in the world may have to go back to school to learn how to conduct elections. In a closely divided electorate, flaws in the process that once could have been shrugged off no longer can be.
I ask that concerned readers contact OPUC chair Lee Beyers and commissioners John Savage and Ray Baum @ (503) 378-6611 and give them a piece of your mind.

Total media blackout about the Maldives in Western Europe mass media. But hiding the Maldives being wiped off isn't as easy as with La Tortue, Haiti.
If you haven't been following John Kerry closely, get ready to hear of
surprising developments. The vote-defrauded, potential president-in-waiting has just indicated through his lawyer that the validity of George Bush's reelection is no longer a given.

Save Social security From Bush!
WWI is perhaps my most morbid curiosity where history is concerned. Though one could argue that the beginning of the industrial military complex began with the American civil war, in which major advances in repeating arms, rifled barrels, and cannons were made, the carnage itself was not industrialized until what has come to be known as "The Great War."
