The final vote on CAFTA, the free trade agreement between the US and Central America, rolled out in the wee hours of July 28. It was a tight vote in the House, a squeaking 217-215, where 15 Democrats crossed over to support the measure while 27 Republicans voted against it. Supporters CAFTA anticipate abolishing custom taxes and undermining labor and environmental laws over time among the countries involved, which will consist of the US, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Guatemala, Honduras, and Dominican Republic. CAFTA will eliminate tariffs on 80 percent of US exports to these countries.
vote coming soon ...may be early to mid Sept.

Before the illegal invasion & bombing of Iraq, five
members of the pacifist Catholic Worker movement made their way into Shannon Airport and non-violently disarmed a U.S. navy war plane in the early hours of February 3rd. 2003. The week of trial saw 80 international & numerous Irish anti-war activists converge on Dublin. It was a week of public witness against the war, evenings of celebration of the disarmament and public meetings concerning ongoing Irish involvement in the war on Iraq.

This little rant about the Dem's selling out to the Repub's platforms sounds like it could have been written by any of dozens of Portland Indy Media posters. The Democratic Leadership Council also known as Republican Light is trying hard to erase the lines that used to separate the two parties.
Like Howard Dean or not, at least he has opened the door for saner folks holding onto the dem name to be part of the dialogue before the ass and the elephant become one bioengineered creature which tries to legislate that only corporations can vote, not citizens.

You're beautiful and everything is all chill and wonderful. That said, apparently the 'crown' is a tyrant that, in having no clue how to presume innocence, harasses, brutalizes and terrorizes those who would be so childishly uppity as to think they have the right to sleep conscientiously on public access property (there is no such thing as 'public property').
Steps have been taken to remedy this incongruity. A POTLUCK and 'Right to Sleep' information night has been scheduled for Friday, July 29th, 2005, at 6:00 PM. It will be held at St. Saviour's Parish Hall (a rebel Anglican church), 310 Henry Street- 1 block down from your first right after the skateboarding park, going towards Esquimalt from downtown Victoria via the Johnson Street Bridge.

It seems like everything is backwards, Bush says trade should be "free" but then pushes CAFTA, which would further impoverish workers in the US and Central America to the benefit of the largest US-based multinational corporations.
Meanwhile, Bush Administration officials have impounded 17 dinky little "Free Geek" computers--destined for medical clinics--which are part of the Pastors for Peace Caravan to Cuba. Activists on the TX border (including 8 Oregonians) have committed to sticking it out until the computers are allowed to go through. So much for "free" trade. Protest.

Round 3 continues with another loaded pistol...By the way, my previous unsigned post was titled 'Vive The Bolivian Revolution'
With U.S. union membership down to only 8% of the workers in the corporate sector - the lowest in 90 years - a clash of unions is underway within the AFL-CIO over the future direction of organized labor. The unions challenging the leadership of President John J. Sweeney - the Service Employees International Union (SEIU), Teamsters UNITE and the Laborers - want more of member unions dues to the AFL-CIO returned for expanded organizing and want more mergers among the 76 existing national unions.
We can all agree that the AFL-CIO, and business unionism in general, is a dead-end for the working class in North America. We need a new international labor movement; one that is based on workers' self-organization and on the recognition of the inevitable conflict between labor and capital.

Military recruiting at corporate grocery store?
In a recent issue, Business Week imagined a world where, upon meeting someone, you would only have to consult Google via your cell phone to instantly know his name, address, telephone number, hobbies, etc. Had not Google's CEO himself once announced that "we're moving towards a Google that will know more and more about you?"
Another nightmare: this film broadcast on the web that details the scenario by which Google will put an end to the press, Libération included, by digging through the galaxy of information and images daily poured into the Net, to allow users to do their shopping there for free.
Ok, before you go ape-shit, listen for a moment. By picking one wal-mart in the area it would be a perfect way to infiltrate it from the inside and demand unionization. Think of the publicity!
![]() Giuliani has quite an uncanny nack at being "lucky or forewarned" of major terror attacks, like on 9/11/01 (or even on 7/7/05?). Definitely involved in the real event of 9-11 corruption, collusion, cover-up, and illegal dstruction of evidence in 9-11. Did Giuliani groups get "hired" for doing a 9-11 on London? Peter Powers, of Visor Consultants, in his BBC TV interview refuses to identify the "private corporation" that he said his firm was hired to work for that "uncannily had given them drill management of what became the identitical scenario in the real emergency situation" seamlessly later. Who else could have known, except for the the TERRORIST "emergency management" CORPORATION who hired Peter Powers to run "the drill side" of the operation for them, while the "emergency management" group ran the real event separately? Britishers who care about their ever thinning civil rights should force the knowledge about this out into the open! Obviously, a high level politcal crony company ran the terror strike, and hired out the drill to the Peter Power group. There is no other way that they two "scenarios"--the real one and the drill one--could have been totally identical as they were.
Today, the Committee on State and Federal Affairs of the Oregon House of Representatives passed on to the floor of the House a version of SB 408 that will stop the current practice of the Oregon Public Utility Commission (OPUC) of allowing utilities to charge ratepayers for "state income taxes" and "federal income taxes" that in fact the utilities do not pay to any government.
