David Risling, the "father of Indian education" who spent his career opening the doors of higher education to Native American students, died Sunday, March 13, in Woodland Memorial Hospital. He was 83.
It's getting dense and deep out there in the world of corporate media.
Here's the spin on why Paul Wolfowitz should go from planning the Iraq invasion out of the White House "War Room" to heading up the World Bank -- "Wolfowitz has devoted his career to advancing the cause of freedom. He is a person of compassion who believes deeply that lifting people out of poverty is critical to achieving that goal." [President Bush]

![]() "12 Ducklings Liberated from Factory Farm Each year, approximately 24 million ducks are killed for food. Most are warehoused in large sheds with nothing but sawdust reeking of ammonia, a bit of food, and 'nipple drinkers' as their only source of water. They live in these conditions until 7 weeks of age when they are slaughtered.
The Senate, by a 51-49 vote, rejected an attempt by Democrats and GOP moderates to remove a refuge drilling provision from next year's budget, preventing opponents from using a filibuster -- a tactic that has blocked repeated past attempts to open the Alaska refuge to oil companies.
The action, assuming Congress agrees on a budget, clears the way for approving drilling in the refuge later this year, drilling supporters said.
A country cannot be a superpower without a high tech economy, and America's high tech economy is eroding as I write.

What's that up there in the sky? Is it a bird? A plane? A chemtrail? No! It's our topsoil, the stuff of life. The thin layer of humus, nutrients, and microorganisms that form the ground layer of our ecosystem. The thing our food grows in. Not worried? Here's why you should be.

The people's movement to halt the largest logging project in modern history continues to build momentum after a dramatic week of actions and arrests. The Green Bridge over the Wild and Scenic Illinois River is the site of a growing campaign of nonviolent civil disobedience opposing Bush administration attempts to roll back decades of hard fought environmental protections. The story is receiving major national and even international press - with ongoing coverage in print, television and radio networks.
This Monday's compelling all-women's action was the fourth major demonstration against the Biscuit Fire Recovery Project since logging began within the Fiddler old growth reserve timber sale last week. Twenty-two women were arrested, including Stacy Williams, an expectant mother in her ninth month of pregnancy, supported by her midwife and birthing team. Surrounding her on the Green Bridge over the Illinois River were Harriet Smith, 85, Dot Fisher Smith, 76 and Joan Norman, 72, who went to jail for the forests for the second time this week.

Violence is the problem that pretends to be its solution. Violence is infectitious like cholera. It owes its virulence to the glow of justification that makes it epidemic. Violence feels justified as counter-force. Vio-lence prohibited as an offense is justified as a sanction

Bush's Coalition of the Willing allies are dropping like flies. Of 39 "members," 14 have already quit and two more have announced plans to pull out, and now Italy, the third largest U.S. ally in the so-called coalition, says it's leaving too. Can Britain be far behind?

How did I become the "Democrat Troll" anyway? That came from my observation that ANY mention of the Democratic Party, no matter how objective and rational the statement might be, invariably draws flak from the anti-dem lobby here at PDX Indymedia. The flak always turned toward ad hominem methods, generally accusing anyone -- who even just mentions that the Democratic Party maybe exists -- of being an apologist for the Democrats and therefore a "Democrat troll." So, I decided to make the "you name it, I claim it" move -- in the old "Dozens" (that is the origin of the Rap category of music and poetry) "you name it, I claim it" was a well-recognized move that could be made whenever someone tried to taunt you with a tag. I should have known that the strategy wouldn't get me anywhere at PDX Indymedia!

![]() 'UNavoidable' ? die-off Plan/Scam ~One theory is backed by a massive body of research representing fifty years of intense scientific inquiry. The other theory is an unproven relic of the eighteenth century. ~So which theory have we in the West, in our infinite wisdom, chosen to embrace? Why, the fundamentally absurd 'Fossil Fuel' theory, of course -- the same theory that the 'Peak Oil' doomsday warnings are based on. ~The notion that oil is a 'fossil fuel' was first proposed by Russian scholar Mikhailo Lomonosov in 1757. ~Two and a half centuries later, Lomonosov's theory remains as it was in 1757 -- an unproved, and almost entirely speculative, hypothesis. Returning once again to the Wall Street Journal, we find that, "Although the world has been drilling for oil for generations, little is known about the nature of the resource or the underground activities that led to its creation." A paragraph in the Encyclopedia Britannica concerning the origins of oil ends thusly: "In spite of the great amount of scientific research ... there remain many unresolved questions regarding its origins." ~Does that not seem a little odd? We are talking here, after all, about a resource that, by all accounts, plays a crucial role in a vast array of human endeavors (by one published account, petroleum is a raw ingredient in some 70,000 manufactured products, including medicines, synthetic fabrics, fertilizers, paints and varnishes, acrylics, plastics, and cosmetics). By many accounts, the very survival of the human race is entirely dependent on the availability of petroleum. And yet we know almost nothing about this most life-sustaining of the earth's resources. And even though, by some shrill accounts, the well is about to run dry,....
