The events of 911 changed the prevailing American worldview forever. The anthrax mailings escalated the fear of terror further. Much debate and investigation continues concerning the government's foreknowledge and possible orchestration of these events and the laws, military actions, and corporate profits that were spawned as a result of 911. Much focus is aimed at finding the truth of the matter, as the evidence continues to mount. We need to take a long hard look at what is going on and ask ourselves, what's next?
Many Americans are confused and misled about the facts of the Middle
East because they don't understand the language of Israeli propaganda.
Protesters are on the right track in targeting advertisers who support "hate speech."

May Day was once for the workers; now it's a protest
festival for the wealthy and privileged.
Most people know what the wide range of groups which come
together on May Day are against - capitalism or globalisation - but do they have any alternative plan?
The 1st of May reminds us of the execution, after a set-up prepared by the
police, of several anarchists in the United States, in the context of the struggles to obtain a working day of eight hours. This happened in 1886.

Three factors made the April 20 rallies and march in Washington unique in the history of U.S. peace activism -- and the movement may never be the same.
Corporate America and corporate boardrooms across the globe wield enormous political influence. It may in fact be argued that in today's material world corporate interests are the primary motivating factors for political action. In the Israeli-Palestinian conflict that power, for a multitude of reasons, has been unjustly mobilized to help sustain 35 years of an illegal Israeli military and economic domination of the Palestinian people.
May 1st is observed around the world as a workers holiday, a celebration of the labor movement and its traditions. In cities everywhere, people take to the streets and try to make their presence known. There's the speechmaking of union leaders and the bluster of leftist politicians. We go through the motions of being in the streets once again, but this day has not always been such a safe and predictable affair.
this shit cracks me up!!
