bush's weird idea of "soul"
No greater tragedy has beset the Australian nation than at the present time. Everything that is un-Australian masquerades as the leader of the nation; is it necessary to name John Howard as the personification of everything that is un-Australian? A cowardly, cringing, lying, weevil does not an Australian make! Howard is the most grotesque, obnoxious flea that has ever inhabited political office. A perfect coward and pathological liar has won the last two elections by default. The local population desperately sought a viable opposition but found NONE; a high school student could have beaten Howard but not the present opposition; no greater congregation of self-centred, self-destructive, inept fools has ever sullied the floor of parliament.
'When the sixteen-year-old seamstress
came before the magistrate in Czernowitz, she was invited to show why she had distributed tracts in which call was made for revolution, which brings imprisonment. As reply, she stood up and sang the Internationale. When the magistrate shook his head. she shouted: ''Stand up! This is the Internationale!''.'

Iran receives the most secondary DU dust from DU weapons used in Afghanistan and Iraq. Public health effects are measurable. DU dust has contaminated the world atmosphere. Fallout from a nuclear attack against Iran could be used to coverup the public health effects occuring from DU. A nuclear "bunker buster" attack against Iran could be prompted by an attempt to coverup DU.
We're beginning to plan and collect material for the third (Summer 2006) issue of DRECK, due out in mid/late June. The theme of this issue is going to be "glamarchy," which has to do with using the tools of the media against itself. Those who wish to contribute - queer or queer-friendly - can direct questions or send images and text to

May Day in Olympia, too.

What's Britannica to tell me the Panama Canal was built in 1914? If I want to say it was built in 1941, that's my right as an American. I'm with the president, let history decide what did or did not happen.
The greatest thing about this man is he's steady. You know where he stands. He believes the same thing Wednesday, that he believed on Monday, no matter what happened Tuesday. Events can change, this man's beliefs never will.

In a tragically under reported story, new Federal Reserve Chairman Bernanke declared that the Fed would no longer publish M3, the index that shows total U.S. dollars in circulation. By doing so, the Fed has eliminated transparency into the total money supply being printed. Representative Ron Paul has introduced legislation to force the Fed to keep publishing M3. Call your Congressional Representative and demand that he/she support this legislation.

On April 27, 2006, a Forum was held on Capitol Hill by the House of Representatives' "Out of Iraq Caucus," whose purpose is to end the Iraqi War and bring all the troops home. A leading Caucus members, Rep. Barbara Lee (D-CA), also testified. She said there were no WMD in Iraq and that Osama bin Laden had no connections to 9/11, Iraq or Saddam Hussein. Lee said the Bush-Cheney Gang must answer to the people: "Why did [they] do it?"
Liberal economist and activist, John Kenneth Galbraith, died Saturday night in Boston at the age of 97. The liberal PhD in Economics and author of more than a dozen books on sociology, economics, and relevant history has his obituary from the Associated Press listed below. However, the story does not fully pay tribute to his liberal credentials in life, so I've taken some time to pay respects and hopefully inspire Indymedia readers who are unfamiliar with his work to read some of his books.
We are seduced by the prosperity culture to which everything must be sacrificed. In this way, the life of others and the monsstrous suffering of the planet are played down.. Liberation starts from the victims of the empire.
The word "progress" has gotten a very bad rap in many circles in our times. At the same time, the notion of asserting some kind of political or moral rights for others in widening circles -- including other species, and even the Earth itself -- hsa gained some currency. Is there a positive vision of progress that people could agree on? And can these ideas be reconciled?

A primer on the how, why, and consequences of invading Iran.
good video,
this is copied from an open letter to jaysun on the original critical mass report-back post.
Outline of facts from the coalitions that are organizing the May Day events in Portland on monday.
...in the United States fresh winds are blowing this May Day...May Day has been the date chosen for an immigrant strike and boycott, and more big demonstrations....We hail this development, and call on all workers to support the immigrants' struggle!
"If you think that by hanging us you can stamp out the labour movement... the movement from which the downtrodden millions, the millions who toil in misery and want, expect salvation - if this is your opinion, then hang us! Here you will tread on a spark, but there and there, behind you - and in front of you, and everywhere, flames blaze up. It is a subterranean fire. You cannot put it out".

This is a 640 word piece about the talk on Iran given by Professor Abbas Edalat in Edinburgh, Scotland on April 27th 2006. Five photos are attached.
Announcing a new campaign to enforce Constitutional compliance by spilling noxious-smelling egg-and-drano cocktails in fascism-complicit businesses and agencies.
I am going to warn you right now: this photo essay is truly frightening and disturbing. If you are a human being with any kind of normal human feelings and conscience, these pictures are going to break your heart. This is how Afghanis see the "liberation" of their country from the ground: in the genetically mutillated and mutated bodies of their babies, courtesy of our depleted uranium.
And please be aware, this is not only affecting the Afghanis: it's affecting our troops and their families. Service people are coming home to die, their children are being born deformed, yet the Administration claims it's not happening.
In 2004, the U.S. State Department released figures showing that terrorist attacks had risen significantly over 2003, from 175 to 651. In just released reports, that number rose to 11,111. That would be a 1,700% increase in just one year. Is President Bush making the world safer, or is he directly reponsible for the nearly 39,000 people who were killed or wounded by those attacks?
News4Neighbors.net announced their endorsements of candidates in 4 key local Portland area races today. Portland City Council Candidates Erik Sten and Amanda Fritz recieved endorsements along with Multnomah County Commissioner candidates Lew Frederick and Ted Wheeler.
A demonstration called by a broad alliance of anti-racist organisations has been called in Paris today, assembling at the Place de la République at 2 p.m.
The French government has launched a major racist offensive against immigrants. Despite the tenacity and extent of the protest movement against the First Job Contract (CPE—giving employers the right to fire young workers at will), which continued throughout February, March and much of April and witnessed days of action bringing up to 3 million university and high school students and workers onto the streets, the government is continuing its programme of reactionary legislation with the Immigration Bill. This bill, which will greatly increase the social and job insecurity of immigrants, is to be put before parliament May 2, without any disruption in its parliamentary schedule. The Immigration Bill, proposed by Sarkozy, sets out to further criminalise immigrants by favouring what he calls "selective immigration" as opposed to the current "endured immigration." The automatic granting of residence rights to immigrants who have lived in France for 10 years will be suppressed. The right of family members to join their families legally residing in France will be drastically curtailed. Families will have to prove that they can adequately provide for their loved ones, who will have to pass a test of being suitable for "republican integration into French society," a formula open to arbitrary interpretation by state bureaucrats. French people marrying non-EU nationals will no longer confer the right of residence on their spouses, who will have to return to their country of origin to obtain a long-stay visa having proved the validity of the marriage to the satisfaction of the French authorities. This costly requirement will often also be dangerous due to the political situation in many countries.

At least four bicyclists were arrested Friday during Critical Mass. Reports about the cause of the arrests were varried. Inital interviews suggest that they were due to a minor traffic violation.
Throughout the history of the United States immigrant workers have been the victims of racism, exploitation, and in times of war, internment and violent attacks. While Spanish-speaking immigrants have had especially turbulent periods in the past, only recently have politicians made attempts at further marginalizing this already oppressed layer of society. Why these attacks are suddenly reemerging is something left unexplained in the mainstream media, and is thus an important issue to examine.
Cops suck.
Thanks to all who have visited the site. It was a beginning and more was planned. Unfortunately this letter to me from the Schumacher's attorney via the web host was my birthday present from the Schumachers. The site is down for the moment but I will try to get it back online real soon, possibly with a new domain name. Don't forget...protest day tomorrow in front of Schumacher's, 811 SW Morrison St. Peace everyone.

* Estos tres textos han sido tomados de El Libertario # 47, mayo-junio 2006, vocero bimensual de la Comisión de Relaciones Anarquistas. En ellos se pone al día y condensa una perspectiva anarquista sobre la situación del movimiento laboral en este país.

May Day is coming!
Millions of immigrant workers and their supporters will be hitting the streets on Monday, 2-3 million are expected in Los Angeles alone! Even thought the white left/activist community has been mostly out of the loop on the immigrant rights movement, this will be the biggest May Day in Portland in years. I hope lots of allies are there!
