Firsthand account from Graham Lawrence of Being in Cottage Grove, OR jail for walking barefoot. Somebody say lawsuit?
For skeptics of how the American government has conducted its so-called War on Drugs, don't worry, it will soon be out of their hands.
The US Department of Defense has transferred its armed efforts in Latin and Central America in the War on Drugs to Academi, the private military contractors formerly known as Blackwater, reports BBC Spanish.
For refusing to leave the library when asked, police arrested him for going barefoot and he had to wait a week in jail for arraignment. All this based on a dubious charge at best, of 'trespassing', when the real 'crime' was having no shoes. Looks a lot like ideological persecution from here.
PORTLAND, OR.- Cascadia Wildlands, the Center for Biological Diversity and Audubon Society of Portland filed a notice of intent to sue the state of Oregon today over harmful clearcutting practices on the Elliott, Tillamook and Clatsop state forests.
On Saturday, January 21st , Causa will host it's 14th Annual Statewide Immigrant Action Day in Salem.

The U.S. Coast Guard will escort the first ship coming to the EGT grain terminal at the Port of Longview this month, and the Occupy movement and local labor groups say they are planning to greet the vessel with a massive protest
Bare foot entry barred in the Cottage Grove public library. why is this, and so many other places? It seems nothing more than a prejudice, or fear of a liability. The bare foot is typically cleaner than a shoe; for a lot of people this is a serious health and comfort issue. We have been stonewalled and threatened with police action. If it was legal to be barefoot everywhere probably many more would join our ranks. Our action is in January because that's when the issue came up, unfortunately, so hopefully it will be warm!
Oregon Physicians for Social Responsibility (OR-PSR) announces its fourth annual Greenfield Peace Writing Contest for Oregon high school juniors and seniors. The deadline is February 3, 2012. First prize is $1,000; second prize is $750; and the third prize is $500.
Most of us know little or nothing about how our daily lives effect the planet and cause the problems both environmentally and politically. Taking to the streets is important and a great step towards the culture shift needed. Lets move into Occupy Farmlands. Getting ourselves practiced in the ways of local food and economy is vital.
Occupy Longview (Washington) is officially putting out a call to action to block the EGT grain ship expected to arrive mid-January.
Occupies in various cities have begun to plan caravans to Longview, WA pending the arrival of the ship.
On December 28th, dressed in riot gear, the Bellingham Police Department forcibly evicted Occupy Bellingham's permanent encampment. The cops showed no remorse as dozens of protesters attempted to negotiate for more time to finish clearing out the camp and to re-vegetate disturbed areas.
What causes politicans to be so clueless.
In the Tampa Bay area, there were 681 deaths from prescription drug overdose in 2009, double the number of deaths in 2005.
We are the 99% who toil and are taxed by an obsolete system....like
other over-thrown plutocracies, the standard of living falls as through newly established agencies the wealth, through services made available, are re-distributed.....and there should be such tight control of banking systems to reign in their excesses and re-align them to assist the 99% (not soup kitchens and grannies old petticoats-but educational loans, lower or refinanced mortgage rates, go green, rebuild the infra structure, etc). .....It's Cro-Magnon time, yippie yippie...cave drawings, clubs and exotic skins.. In Havana it's Fidele Adestes time....E Pluresy Udumbfuk., and All for One and None for You....charity begins at home so send me some moola or da guyz will be a knockin @ ur bak dore..... -- Dick MacGoo

Please help save Coos Bay from the intrusive LNG terminal by calling or writing OR Gov. and tell him to deny DSL permit #37712 for the Port's marine terminal slip dock for Jordan Cove's LNG tankers. Thanks for saving the bay!
Whatever one thinks of the church, he is still a human protesting an issue that involves us all. When the police beats up someone who is practicing non-violence, what is there left to do?
obusha is disgusting.
The statement from Occupy's unnamed "media team" says a 4 p.m. march and 10 p.m. assembly are planned "for camp defense and witness." It also says
The Occupy Movement manifested as a direct response to the social and economic injustices caused by a corrupt and heartless financial system. Occupy Olympia did not create the problems faced at camp. These are the same problems faced in communities around the country. Occupier Kyle Tanner states, "It's disappointing that the state chooses to continue to sweep the realities of budget cuts under the rug rather than face the systemic inequities." Since the early days of the occupation, Occupy Olympia has provided the community with free medical services, food, and shelter, all of which are needs the state has failed to meet. "While Occupy Olympia has been offering social services, it's important to remember that the Occupy Olympia encampment is, and continues to be, a political encampment. Any attempt to discredit that would be a false representation of what the Occupy movement is all about," states Occupier Owen Prout. Though the future of the physical camp may be uncertain, the community that camp has built will continue to fight the atrocities committed to benefit the 1%.
First debris from Japanese earthquake/tsunami reaches Olympic Peninsula
Today the Center For Constitutional Rights filed a lawsuit on behalf of five animal rights activists against the Animal Enterprise Terrorism Act.
50,000,000 of the cells in your body will have died and been replaced with others, all while you have been reading this sentence.
The following communique was submitted to us after those arrested yesterday during the railway blockade were released this morning. A total of 12 people were arrested. The corporate media, as always, did a piss poor job of reporting on the political motives behind the blockade. We hope to get their message to our radical communities today.
About 150 union members and supporters picketed the port of Longview today and shut down the port in support of ILWU members' fight against EGT
Health care advocates in Eugene would love to see single-payer health insurance spread to Oregon.. Vermont passed a bill in June that will bring health insurance to everyone in that state. Could that happen in Oregon? The presence of Occupy Eugene is focusing our attention on inequality and injustice and mobilizing us to speak our truth.

Wi Fi emits radio frequency radiation, same as cell towers and phones. Portland Public School policy is not to lease property to cell phone companies for tower sites yet they bring towers into the schools. Recent measurements of one middle school show that children are sporadically exposed to 3 times or more the radiation than standing 200 yards from a cell tower. In some schools, that is a 7 hour exposure all day long. check website at the end of this post for more information and get involved. There is now a law suit against PPS.
Proboscis sucking kgb[king]5 news advertises Seattle lake-shore property ready for occupation
In the hopes that more and more people take it upon themselves to challenge the insanity of capitalism and the sanctity of surplus, we provide the following...
On the night of 11/28 we sabotaged a railroad line in occupied Samish and Lummi territory, also known as northern Washington state.
Purpose:vOakland has called for all West Coast ports to be shutdown on December, 12 2011.
LETS JOIN THEM! In response to coordinated attacks on the occupations and attacks on workers across the nation Occupy Oakland calls for the blockade and disruption of the economic apparatus of the 1% with a coordinated shutdown of ports on the entire West Coast on December 12th. The 1% has disrupted the lives of longshoremen and port truckers and the workers who create their wealth, just as coordinated nationwide police attacks have turned our cities into battlegrounds in an effort to disrupt our Occupy movement.
stop animal cruelty, fight speciesism, and combat gentrification
Last June, the Vermont legislature voted to create a universal health care program, following a three-year campaign by the Vermont Workers Center (VWC).
How did they do it? At first, people told them winning health care for all wasn't politically possible. By organizing thousands of people around the idea that health care is a human right, they were able to redefine the debate and convince their legislature to take action. You can learn about their campaign by reading "Lessons From The Single-Payer State," by VWC's director, James Haslam. Even better, you can learn about Vermont's victory from the source!
It's almost Christmas time again, and I'm looking for just the right tree I can cut down and hang pointless plastic shit onto, again. Unfortunately every logging road in the Northwest looks either like the Vietnam War or is full of baby wannabes packed like sardines on a freight vessel going to China. Where can you find the best Christmas tree apocalypse farm this year? Well I did some research and here's what I found ...
On the night of November 28th, 2011, we sabotaged a rail line in Southern Oregon as part of a coordinated effort to disrupt the flow of commerce on the West Coast. We got tired of watching trains pass through our towns loaded with lumber, ore, cheap commodities, and other resources pillaged from the earth without consequence. We didn't do this out of a desire to create a more green, sustainable or humane civilization--we want nothing less than to see the total failure of this sick and rotten society.
I ask this as objectively as i can.
The 'Occupy' movement is one of several in American history to be based on anarchist principles.
Our common treasury in the last 30 years has been captured by industrial psychopaths. That's why we're nearly bankrupt
Wow! just Wow!
No wonder we are bankrupt! and they want our seniors and disabled to pay the bill by cutting the services WE were taxed for our whole lives? the nerve of some people!!
Us is not a drunkard, it's a fucking hannibal lecter PSYCHOPATH "It puts the bailout on its skin, or it gets the whip again!"
Shark-like, they rise fast but risk killing the world economy, concludes a business professor.
Open letter to the Washington state legislature
My name is jack mor, I am a united states citizen and registered voter in Washington state. I am retired living on social security One of the "98%". I respectful request the legislature to consider the following matters at the next ensuing regular session
A woman who was pepper sprayed during during a raid on Occupy Seattle last week is blaming police after she miscarried Sunday. Jennifer Fox, 19, told The Stranger that she had been with the Occupy protests since they started in Westlake Park. She said she was homeless and three months pregnant, but felt the need to join activists during their march last Tuesday.
We are not 'camping', momEarth is our HOME!
Come out and support the good work of Occupy Eugene, to help sustain the occupation!
Over 800 meals a day are still being served, and lots of coordinated actions around town.

y building a progressive police organization, created by rank-and-file officers, "civilian" employees and community representatives. Such an effort would include plans to flatten hierarchies; create a true citizen review board with investigative and subpoena powers; and ensure community participation in all operations, including policy-making, program development, priority-setting and crisis management. In short, cops and citizens would forge an authentic partnership in policing the city. And because partners do not act unilaterally, they would be compelled to keep each other informed, and to build trust and mutual respect—qualities sorely missing from the current equation.

New 'formula' finds way to 'tax' seniors and Disabled Veterans to make them poorer, while reclassifying poverty guidelines so even if you are starving and homeless you are not considered poor and therefor ineligible for help.
NICE I have an idea. It's called bombs not food.
Honestly, I sometimes wonder at who is behind what, don't you?
Corporations, legal fictions, run your lives and your government thanks to the disastrous Citizens United Supreme Court decision. With Reagan, taxation shifted from corporate to individual.

"Is there a right to record the cops" {yes there is }
That is the title of an Oregonian article in Nov 1 2011 Tuesday front page edition. Its in regard to a Eugene resident who [with out notifying the police he was recording his own traffic stop] filmed the cops with his cell phone during a traffic stop.

The rally will begin at 4:30 PM at Terry Schrunk Plaza, between SW 3rd and 4th at Madison - march at 5:30 PM.
The route will visit a few symbolic sites, and will end at Occupy Portland.
In conjunction with Occupy Portland, Climate Justice Portland, Tar Sands Action/350.org and a growing list of other environmental and political groups, there will be a rally, march and encirclement of the Portland Federal Courthouse, opposite Pioneer Square on 11/6. The details are below. I have also attached the event flyer, which you may distribute around campus and your neighborhoods. I was involved in the civil disobedience action this past Summer with Bill McKibben and others. There is a great need for people who understand what is happening to life and our collective humanity, to unite to preserve what remains for future generations. Please join us!
Late Wednesday night, in an exercise of consensus process and direct
democracy, the community known as Occupy Eugene elected to relocate to the University of Oregon campus. After hours of negotiations on Thursday between the University and representatives of Occupy Eugene, it was decided that the occupation would move to the Millrace Park on East 11th Avenue and Franklin. The University has generously supplied the occupation with generators, electricity, and rides from Public Safety to the Park.

Although protesters in front of Chase each business day generally number fewer than 10, Robbie Lindauer [Chase protest organizer] said hearing news about accounts being opened at local credit unions and dropped from big banks gives him the energy and momentum to continue the effort.
PGE told me that Portland's "smart" meters emit radiation every 4 hours. I tested the meters and they emit a huge dose of RF every 45 seconds that exceeds FCC limits which are already 1000 times higher than Russian Standards. PGE is defrauding us while dosing us with huge amounts of RF 24/7 that make cell phone exposure look like 15 seconds of sunlight. They need to hear from us and we need to demand they remove or offer an opt out for those of us who are familiar with the health and environmental threats. Complain to the PUC and PGE Write: smartmeters <

Occupy Eugene will stage an "Occupy Education" rally at 12:00 p.m. this afternoon from the current occupation site at Alton Baker Park to call attention to the rising cost of education, predatory student loans, the lack of employment options for college graduates, and the crippling amounts of debt students must take on for access to the increasingly elusive "American Dream". A rally will begin at 12:00 p.m. and the march commences at 1:00 p.m. The march will conclude at the University of Oregon, where supporters of Occupy Eugene at the University of Oregon will rally and discuss issues relevant to the Occupy movement and the University community.
