America's agribusiness is growing more and more politically powerful, The new farm bill passed by the house gives large farmers 191 billion dollars in subsidies none of that money goes to small (mom and pop) farmers.
Michel Chossudovsky, author of the international bestseller America's War on Terrorism, personally graced the jam-packed local launch of his latest book held at the Asian Center at the University of the Philippines in Diliman, Quezon City last June 24. During the launch, he gave a lecture about the imminent danger of a U.S.-made nuclear catastrophe amid the Bush administration's preparations for war with Iran.
Joel Garduce of Center for Anti-Imperialist Studies (CAIS) caught up with the director of the Centre for Research in Globalization (CRG) during his short weekend stay in the Philippines and conducted the following interview.
I received an email (from a local music listserve) this morning about a Portland radio station promoting violence against cyclists.
In its early years, the heads of government meeting now known was the G8 was regarded as a means of co-ordinating the policies of the major capitalist powers to try to overcome major problems in the world economy.
Those days have long gone. At the conclusion of this year's summit the state of the global economy was listed under "Other Issues" in the official summing up. The statement noted merely that "global growth remains strong and has become more broadly based" while there was also discussion on "high and volatile energy prices, global imbalances and growing protectionism". "We re-iterated our commitment to address global imbalances, working together to remove distortions to the global adjustment process, promote liberalization of trade and investment, and modernize the international financial institutions." The scant attention to the global economy, let alone any discussion of co-ordinated economic policies, is remarkable given the fact that, despite continued economic growth, the world economy is facing a series of problems as serious as any since the so-called Asian economic crisis of 1997-98.

This critique is emotional but excellent, gets at the heart of how many of us feel. The Nation hires fake ex-CIA agents to write reviews to trash those who ask questions that go too deep. It makes you wonder how many other CIA are already on the payroll, and not just doing guest essays.
This short paper does not pretend to a thorough analysis, however, it is hoped that the few indications would suffice both to verify assertions and to indicate a rich direction for further research.
Innocence implies a lack of guilt or blamelessness; the images humans readily associate with the concept of innocence are those of infants, suckling babes, children and the newborn. A species tends to identify and place value on itself. In contrast to instinctive emotions we have the superimposition of cultural values/demands. Religion is the traditional repository and medium of constructed/cultural values. A cursory analysis would reveal that cultural values are not usually compatible with strong instinctive emotions. The value placed on the lives of defenceless children, infants and the newborn will be the criteria utilised to easily prove our assertions.
Thousands of people are held kidnapped in prison in Israel,
without any trial, no evidence is brought against them. They the Zionists, encourage you to follow their mode of reasoning. You can slaughter everybody in Israel, and they'd say, "Well yah, that's what likudniks do too. We totally agree with you. That is the proper course of action to do, indiscriminate murder campaigns, against our family and friends, for we do not believe in a just cause, or a loving God."
Little did we know, that the area between the towns of Newberg, McMinnville, and Yamhill is ripe with world-class vineyards offering some of the most delectable wines I've ever experienced. As a supporter of local agriculture in general, my intent here is not to trumpet particular wine purveyors, but rather to offer a glimpse of what was a sublime experience, and to suggest that you try a similar one.
"Pora! supported Viktor Yushchenko in protests following the disputed 2004 presidential election. It claimed to have about 10,000 members. Its methods have apparently been influenced by Gene Sharp's manual From Dictatorship to Democracy. Apart from the mass demonstrations of the "Orange Revolution", the group's tactics have included the use of visually striking posters showing confrontational images such as a giant boot crushing a cockroach, and stickers with "revolutionary" slogans such as "Time to Arise!". Not surprisingly, this has aroused the ire of the Ukrainian authorities and Pora! activists have often been harassed and arrested. Pora! was seen as being on the radical wing of the reform movement." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pora
"Gene Sharp started out the seminar by saying 'Strategic nonviolent struggle is all about political power.' And I thought, 'Boy is this guy speaking my language,' that is what armed struggle is about."—Col. Robert Helvey The creation and deployment of coups of any kind requires agents on the ground. The main handler of these coups on the "street side" has been the Albert Einstein Institution, which was formed in 1983 as an offshot of Harvard University under the impetus of Dr. Gene Sharp, and which specializes in "nonviolence as a form of warfare." Dr. Sharp had been the executive secretary of A.J. Muste, the famous U.S. Trotskyite labor organizer and peacenik. The group is funded by Soros and the NED. Albert Einstein's president is Col. Robert Helvey, a former US Army officer with 30 years of experience in Southeast Asia. He has served as the case officer for youth groups active in the Balkans and Eastern Europe since at least 1999."
Otpor (Resistance) was a nonviolent youth movement that lead to democratic revolution in Serbia.
"In the aftermath of NATO airstrikes against Yugoslavia and the Kosovo War, Otpor started a political campaign against the Yugoslav president Slobodan Milošević. This resulted in nationwide police repression against Otpor activists, during which almost 2000 of them were arrested and some of them beaten. During the presidential campaign in September 2000, Otpor launched its "Gotov je" (He's finished) campaign that galvanized Serbian discontent with Milošević and eventually resulted in his defeat. Some students who led Otpor (whose name means "Resistance" in the Serbian language) used Serb translations of Gene Sharp's writings on nonviolent action as a theoretical basis for their campaign." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Otpor
"The National Endowment for Democracy, which this fiscal year got $60 million from the U.S. Congress, says it has decided to stop funding a Kyrgyz NGO called Civil Society Against Corruption because of its pronounced opposition bent. The Civil Society, which in 2003 received a $25,000 NED grant, is headed by Tolekan Ismailova, a veteran Kyrgyz human-rights campaigner and opposition activist. Earlier this month, she organized the local translation and distribution of a 1993 revolutionary manual used in Serbia, Ukraine and Georgia. The manual, "From Dictatorship to Democracy," was written by Gene Sharp, a political scientist and senior scholar at the Albert Einstein Institution in Boston. It includes tips on nonviolent resistance -- such as 'display of flags and symbolic colors' -- and civil disobedience."

A determined effort is under way in numerous states across the US to further restrict ballot access and voting rights. Despite the theft of the 2000 presidential election by George W. Bush and his installation in the White House by the US Supreme Court, and allegations of voter disenfranchisement in Ohio and other states during the 2004 election, there has been no effort made to defend voters' rights.
On the contrary, moves are afoot in a number of states to further restrict the constitutionally protected right to vote. This assault has taken two major forms. First, state governments are passing laws requiring individuals to present additional identification when they vote. Second, a number of state governments are enacting legislation placing strict limits on voter registration drives.

As missles fly and bombs fall in the middle east, much of the mass media coverage centers around the impact on israel with the plight of the Lebananese people taking a back seat. Despite the propaganda being spread, it is not Hezbollah being punished be israel's missles; it is the children, the tourists, the workers, and their families. Below is a recent email that I received after inquiring about a friend's family. A wife and children had been visiting relatives in Beirut and have since been held captive by israel's bombardment of the country. Our country has thus-far failed to help them. The U.S. response: go home, stay put, pray for a phone call.

Summary of the KBOO am news for Monday, July 17th, 2006
http://portland.indymedia.org/en/2006/07/342654.shtml, one should be aware AND GUARD AGAINST BEING MANIPULATED by a pre-planned war of the late 1800s, set up by high Masonic plotting to organize hatred between their "religious competitors" and (they hoped) which would remove religions of Christianity and Judaism on one side and Islam on the other all at once.
According to 33rd degree Mason, Albert Pike, head of the Scottish Rite for decades (and connected with the founding of the KKK as well as a Confederate army officer--the only Confederate officer with a Civil War statue in downtown Washington D.C.), you are just playing as pawns in their game if you fall for this transparent attempt to create an artificial war between the religions. Pike had three world wars planned out by the late 1800s. They have happened like clockwork on that plan since. Particularly note Pike's purpose of the third world war, which does seem to be maneuvered into position thanks to the U.S. and Israeli warmongering. On the Jewish/Christian side, Pike noted that those really in command would be those out to destroy and discredit all three religions by infiltration of the leadership and by artificially generating mutual self-destructive wars. Avoid your hatred, and guard yourself: your emotions are being manipulated in a rigged game. A discussion of this rigged European chess game, with your body and mind as a pawn, follows.
Israel is using US weapons to kill civilians, and Bush is condoning that. We need an action against this IMMEDIATELY. It needs to be loud and forceful. When the President is out of control, it's up to the people and the congress to rein him in. Bush's comments about Israel do not accurately reflect the opinion of even moderate Repuglicans.
Captain May, Ghost Troop cyber infowar commander, uses his training in military intelligence and languages (Latin, Greek, Russian and Spanish) to cryptanalysis (code-break) present day false flag operations by our government.
The great historical crisis of the 1860s produced Abraham Lincoln; the "Great Depression" of the 1930s produced Franklin Delano Roosevelt. We can only hope the political system of the US will produce similar leading figures.

Well the egg came first on the Mercury's face, followed shortly by the chickens coming home to roost. Of course, I'm speaking in response to the Letters (Not) to the Editor in the latest evacuation of that poo-poo tunnel called the Portland Mercury. I'm guessing this is the kind of language that their readers are familiar with and can best understand. Now let's get down to poultry.
this is a repost from commondreams. I've thought much about the legacy my parents generation has left us, ranted one father's day. What upsets me most... not their affection for trinkets and "wealth" because they worked their 40 hours to get it... but the hands and the hold they have allowed the game to fall into. There was no "system" in 1850. This was designed.
