George II arrogantly upholds "right" to surveill U.S. citizens as "domestic terrorists."
"No man is an Island, entire of it self; every man is a piece of the Continent, a part of the maine; if a clod be washed away by the Sea, Europe is the less, as well as if a Promontory were, as well as if a Manner of thy friends or of thine own were; any mans death diminishes me, because I am involved in Mankind; And therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; It tolls for thee." John Donne b. 1631

An Update on the Rapture
On the 8th of December six activists were arrested across the US in a series of coordinated raids by federal marshals. These arrests are part of a nation-wide crackdown on radical activists in the US under new anti-terror legislation. All activists are now facing life sentences if convicted. Those arrested include a Portland woman accused of taking part in the nation's only act of sabotage on the eve of the 2000 millennium celebration, the toppling of a high-voltage tower near Bend.
At 7a.m. on the 22nd of December, Bill Rodgers, a long-time community activist arrested as part of this nationwide crackdown on radical activists in the US was found dead in his cell. The authorities have called it a suicide.
James Angel earlier this year even made a video infomercial for what appears to be a criminal stock manipulation group whose only 'official' address as it turned out was a lap dance club in Las Vegas called the Cheetah Club !!! The only lap dance club to ever be investigated by the FBI under the Patriot Act......

The following is an article written just after Philip Berrigan died in 2002. No matter what our belief, these words remind us to be strong, stand up for peace, and resist. IF nothing else this is proof that not all Christians are warmongers. I post this on the 4th anniversary of Philip Berrigans Death.
I just talked to people in Eugene at Lane County Jail about ways to contact Daniel McGowan...he can call us collect, he can get money orders that will go onto his commissary tab so he can buy things like stamps, etc. His visitor set up is pretty grim...

Your answers to these ten political questions will reflect your current thinking, but after reading this entire post, you may change your mind about some of them. Regardless, the most important influences on your decisions and actions in this coming year are probably still lurking out there. No one can predict the future, but we can all learn from the past.
In the GOP's latest hellish vision (bills S.2112 and HR 3824), the lives of living organisms would be bartered, traded, and thrown away like so much monopoly money in a "credit system. "

Summary of the KBOO am news for Tuesday, December 27th, 2005
There is a point where the soul has to disengage to endure. Jails are one of the places this occurs. Poverty is another. Rape is another. Once people have learned how to disengage their SOULS when being abused by the powers that be, the powers that be lose traction rapidly. Mix this lack of fear & righteous hatred of abusive authority, with some hopelessness & nothing left to lose, and you have raw power. This is the cocktail that Bush has brewed for the world.
TruthinJustice.org is a great resource for anyone desiring concrete and recent evidence that serious problems exist within the criminal justice system in the U.S. today. For those people who still live with their heads in the sand, insisting only "criminals" plead "guilty," and that only "guilty" people end up in prison, this site is here to burst that insulated bubble.
In Part Two of these interviews, we explore the issues of public misconceptions about prisoners, women prisoner needs, public defenders, and state harassment for prisoner support work. Part Three of this series gives current information about how to get involved with prisoner support now, including the names of individual prisoners, different ways to get involved, and prisoner support resources to further your education on this subject.

Here are my "three or four ways to direct our thinking to prepare for changing the world", prefaced by my summary defining what the word "left" really is or means politically, to me.

New AIDS activist group starting in Portland
On Thursday afternoon, TWU officials showed up on picket lines throughout the city and instructed workers to return to work, without any explanation of what had been accomplished. This generated considerable anger among many workers who had struck for three days and willingly accepted the loss of thousands of dollars in wages under the antiunion Taylor Law.
The sudden calling off of the strike was followed by a news blackout on ongoing negotiations between the TWU and the transit authority. It is being widely reported that the TWU has offered to impose greater out-of-pocket expenses for health care on their members in exchange for management curtailing or dropping its demand for the rolling back of pension protections.
As an editor, holding a story is as biased and manipulative of public opinion as running one. No credible, honest journalist can make those decisions. If you've got it, you have to run it, and the Times' Keller failed that basic test, proving he's nothing but an administration shill.
This was a day of solidarity among people who stand for justice. It was a day of action on different fronts, in a common struggle.
We would appreciate if the brave people who took this action didn't use this forum to describe the tactics we used to make this possible. This is just one step in a long path to real change. Loose lips sink ships.
WTO legislation sneaks by in the infamous Cheney tie-breaker 51-50 vote!
Everyone knows that Cheney flew in to cast a tie-breaker vote, December 21, for the budget resolution that trounced students and poor people generally. But almost no one has noticed that the WTO got what THEY wanted! How's that for a Christmas present for the working people of America? Here are the details:

Thither came Solon, who was received by them with great honor; and be asked the priests, who were most skilful in such matters, about antiquity, and made the discovery that neither he nor any other Hellene knew anything worth mentioning about the times of old. On one occasion, when he was drawing them on to speak of antiquity, he began to tell about the most ancient things in our part of the world--about Phoroneus, who is called 'the first,' and about Niobe; and, after the Deluge, to tell of the lives of Deucalion and Pyrrha; and he traced the genealogy of their descendants, and attempted to reckon bow many years old were the events of which he was speaking, and to give the dates. Thereupon, one of the priests, who was of very great age; said, 'O Solon, Solon, you Hellenes are but children, and there is never an old man who is an Hellene.' Solon, bearing this, said, 'What do you mean?' 'I mean to say,' he replied, 'that in mind you are all young; there is no old opinion handed down among you by ancient tradition, nor any science which is hoary with age. And I will tell you the reason of this: there have been, and there will be again, many destructions of mankind arising out of many causes.

A death sentence here and abroad
Every week now there are new stories pointing towards the increasing power and control of the corporate/government dictatorship. The U.S. Constitution will soon be little more than an historical document and people are swiftly losing the rights they have come to take for granted. I predict it will be but a couple years before sites such as Indymedia are banned. Make good use of it while it is still here!

I am sending this letter to you in hope of finding a source to hear my concerns. It is something that has bothered me since the occurrence, and I know it is not something that should have happened, and I worry for my family's safety as I step out to speak about this.
You'd think the fact Porter Goss, head broom sweeper at the CIA, recently told the Turkish government the United States plans to attack Iran and Syria would be headline splashing news in the New York Times and the Washington Post. But although the news was carried in the Turkish press, it elicited hardly a murmur here in America, with the exception of United Press International and Reuters.
Prisoner Support may not be something you think about very often, but if you ended up being jailed due to a mistake or unfair sentencing due to politics, Prisoner Support organizations could literally be your only lifeline. Part of the frightening aspect of prison is the isolation and prisoner support groups are often a prisoner's only link to the outside. As human rights activists, the prison situation is pertinent on many levels...
For those who aren't aware, Bill Rodgers was known to many in the activist community by his forest name, Avalon. This is a tribute to this gentle spirit from one who knew and loved him.
The mainstream press reported about two confidential witnesses and a cooperating co-defendant for quite a while. Then they dropped the third and claimed only two. Now they are talking about the third again.
Below is a statement from Bill's support campaign.

Dear Santa,
Please bring us a united front against fascism in the U.S.A. Please bring us a progressive movement that crosses over the "Dem" and "anti-Dem" border to boil up in righteous indignation against U.S. imperialist enforcement of global capital's evil schemes for total domination of the Earth and Her peoples. And please bring us a leftist movement that isn't so starved that it can only eat itself into utter insignificance. I know I have been bad. I have been unreasonable and I keep getting into pissing contests at PIMC. But I promise that I will really try to be good. Please send us the gifts that I have asked you for. We need them. Sincerely, g.d. dem P.S. If you possibly can, Santa, please bring freedom to the ALF and ELF victims of governmental terrorism. Those people love the Earth and they love all God's creatures, great and small!
The New York Times is reporting that the NSA is "tapping directly into some of the American telecommunication system's main arteries." What hasn't been disclosed is the possible involvement of everyone's favorite boogey-man multi-national: The Carlyle Group.
