The broad mass of a nation . . . will more easily fall victim to a big lie than to a small one.

"The global justice movement has been right to focus on the pain inflicted around the world by the IMF and the World Bank, the collectors of debt incurred by despots and corrupt elites but paid in the life-blood of ordinary people..The social democratic compromise of the postwar years has been replaced by a virulent, grasping form of rule which is moving to outlaw the possibility of protest and democratic expression, The consequences of neoliberalism have forced a frigthtened awareness of what is at stake.."
"At the end of each show, Strommer and the Mescaleros performed a cover of the classic resistance song The Harder They Come, the Harder They Fall by reggae great Jimmy Cliff..
And I keep on fighting for the things I want.. But I'd rather be a free man in my grave Than living as a puppet or a slave."

If the presence of the life process is considered to be one of the exclusive characteristics of living creatures, what then are we to say about seeds? Does it ever occur to you that in those monocellulars "that have survived till today" the life process has virtually never come to a stop since the very beginning of their existence? Because of the obscurity of the line separating the living from the dead, is it not possible for us to claim that there is "life" in atoms?
George Bush has transformed three letters of the alphabet into his own tool of terror.
WALBRAN CREEK, Canada - Basted by 800 years of rain, the cedars in this Vancouver Island valley have fattened to old-growth trees of classic proportions. "If you tried to log this forest in the States, there would be a
hippie chained to every tree," said Ken Wu, an organizer for the Western Canada Wilderness Committee. Weyerhaeuser has logged more than 800 acres in this valley and in coming years plans to log most of the big timber on 5,800 more acres.
HA HA AAH HA HA HA HA HA . . . In his weekly radio address yesterday, Mr Bush was forced to produce a new explanation of why the US has not found Iraq's alleged chemical and biological weapons--he told listeners that suspect sites had been looted in the closing days of Saddam Hussein's regime . . . AAAAA HA HA HA HA HAH AH HA HA HA HA

Well before the Bush cabal's calls for a war on Iraq, the administration knew the aluminum tubes obtained by Iraq were not for uranium enrichment. It also knew the documents stating Iraq had obtained uranium from Niger were forgeries. Bush lied about these anyway to sell the war to America.
"What is stated is that we are tearing the entire system of international law to shreds including the UN charter, and that we are going to carry out an aggressive war - which we will call `preventive' - at any time we choose and that we will rule the world by force..We can be quite confident on one thing. The reasons we are given can't possibly be the reasons..So we can dismiss the official reasons."This interview isfrom Argentina

Hey, this is the time to stand up and be counted.... In case you hadn't realized yet, the "war" in Iraq is not over. In fact, it is only moving towards a longer counter-insurgency phrase in Iraq. Furthermore if the following report is right, you have about a year or so to prevent the next war of aggression--this time against Iran.
Come down for the convergence! Even the Sac Bee is hearing the call of the earth.
so, now I'm truly confused . . . tell me again--
1. *who* is "the world's leading supporter of terrorism"?? 2. and *where* are the IRAQI WMDs??
Bt corn has been associated with up to an 80% reduction in piglet birth rate on mid-western farms. The calving rate decreased by 20 to 30% when it was fed to the cows on one farm. On another farm the spontaneous abortion rate in the cows was very high when they were fed Bt and Round Up Ready GE corn. The Agricultural Minister from Denmark was informed of this negative effect of the Bt corn on pigs last week. Denmark is being pressured to take GE corn from the US. Denmark is willing to pay for the segregation of the corn and the companies say they won't do this.

Seven weeks later and with no vile vials in hand, Bush gave a speech Monday in Elizabeth, N.J., where he did not make a single reference to weapons of mass destruction. Instead, Bush chose to distract Americans from his Nixonian erasing of his justification for war by criticizing his critics as "revisionist historians."

June 13, 2003, Washington, US -- An international treaty that seeks to protect the environment from the potential risks of Genetically Modified (GM) organisms will officially become law in 90 days from today.
<i>Genetically modified food - which can grow more quickly
than traditional crops and can be resistant to insects - has caused scant controversy in the United States, where people eat it every day. Almost 40 percent of all corn planted in this country in genetically modified.The Bush administration and agricultural businesses view the policy as simple protectionism because American companies, which dominate the biotechnology industry,would benefit most from lifting the ban. Without it, American companies would export about $300 billion more in corn each year than they do now, according to the American Farm Bureau Federation</i> <p>From the NY Times, June 19: "Talks between the United States and the European Union over opening up Europe to genetically modified foods broke down in Geneva today, the Bush administration announced, heightening trans-Atlantic tensions...Europe's resistance to modified crops received a political lift last week when a global treaty restricting them was approved"
The fact that almost all religions believe that nothing, not even a single space or a single entity, is capable of restricting God's existence is an obvious indication that sub-atomic particles are part of God.
Specialist Castillo said: "We're more angry at the generals who are making these decisions and who never hit the ground, and who don't get shot at or have to look at the bloody bodies and the burnt-out bodies, and the dead babies and all that kinda stuff."

It's time for us to go home."

Duncan Hunter, chairman of the House of Representatives Armed Services Committee is worried that US forces are stretched thin, with some troops now in Iraq for nearly one year, and with no end in sight to the US military commitment.
The US military says a soldier opened fire after demonstrators started throwing stones at a military convoy outside the former presidential compound which now houses the US-led military coalition running Iraq. The Iraqi soldiers were demanding unpaid wages.
The Canadians were firing rounds horizontally, not vertically in a way that would have threatened the two F-16s, according to investigators. The bomb was dropped despite a flight controller telling Schmidt to "hold fire."
While the US rapes Iraq for her oil, some US soldiers got a little too literal with the interpretation, raping two teenage Iraqi girls. Welcome to the Mideast's second illegal occupation. Brought to you by "BushCo: Liars-R-U.S."
Armed opposition to the occupation of Iraq will continue until the US and Britain withdraw
Last year the Afghan Government launched an effort to pay farmers compensation if they destroyed their crop.
But the scheme failed because members of the local government paid people to pose as farmers and claim the payouts. The officials then collected the payments from the bogus farmers, while the real farmers simply continued to grow opium.
an interesting inspiration for tactics...

"Neither the Iraqis nor the Americans ever dreamed that Baghdad would be like this" - Yeah, except for all of us Americans who knew and said it would be exactly like this; and I'm sure many Iraqis saw this coming as well. The question is, why wouldn't anyone else?
Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld redirected the amphibious assault ship Kearsarge last week to stand by in waters off West Africa at the request of the U.S. ambassador to Liberia, who feared that the capital, Monrovia, might fall under siege by rebels trying to topple Liberian President Charles Taylor. A U.N. special tribunal's recent war crimes indictment against Taylor has energized the three-year-long battle by two rebel groups to oust him. On Thursday, more than 500 foreigners were evacuated to a French warship as the rebels neared the edge of the city.
The human rights organisations that have brought a suit against Unocal allege that the Yadana pipeline project has led to dozens of similar incidents, as well as rape and extortion.
