Saturday, February 11, 2006 We were collected at my aunts house for my cousins birthday party a few days ago. J. just turned 16 and my aunt invited us for a late lunch and some cake. It was a very small gathering- three cousins- including myself- my parents, and J.'s best friend, who also happened to be a neighbor.

With less than three weeks to go before the municipal and legislative elections of 2006 the atmosphere in El Salvador is one of both tension and enthusiasm for the arrival of voting day. Since the massive outpouring of both morning and support for FMLN around Schafik's funeral, many Salvadorans believe the polls that put the FMLN slightly ahead of ARENA actually underestimate the support people will give the FMLN on voting day. PCASC/CISPES delegates will be in El Salvador to ensure a fair vote and to denounce any attempt by the right-wing to repress free elections.
Please attend the Sunday March 19 rally & march at Portland's Waterfront Park to protest the war in Iraq on its 3rd anniversary.

When former Treasury Secratary Paul O'Neil requested documents from UAE of the fund transfers UAE complained and Paul O'neil was fired.
After the fall of the New Economy, flexibility, individualizationa nd outsourcing are obviously threats, not promises and mean nothing but poverty and precarious working conditions.
So apparently this is indeed a brand new event, not reported by the medias yet.

Recall the remarks of an anonymous senior military officer on April 22, 2004, declaring a spate of bombings in Basra had "all the hallmarks" of "al-Qaeda." Several months later, two British "undercover soldiers" wearing "traditional Arab headscarves" were caught red-handed by Iraqi National Guard "driving a booby trapped car loaded with ammunition."
Arab fighters and insurgents have demonstrated to the world that the US is a 'superpower' in name only. A poorly armed and trained but highly motivated and dedicated band of fighters has exposed the US military as weak, inept, unskilled, brutal and bereft. From South America to the Himalayas, resistance against capitalist plunder and exploitation signals the inevitable failure of militaristic capitalism. Regardless of all other considerations people today have confirmed that they will fight any aggressor who threatens their homes, families and way of life.
Scott Ritter will be in Seattle on March 1 st & 2nd . Hope you can make it .
With Leftist leaders sweeping Latin America's elections, the MST continues to play a vital role n securing respect for human rights in the Brazilian context. The 2002 election of Brazil's first ever working class President, Luis Ignacio 'Lula' da Silva, marked a milestone in Latin America's electoral shift to the left.

Rainforest Action Network and ForestEthics will select a team of individuals to live, organize, and take non-violent direct action with the community of Grassy Narrows. The community of Grassy Narrows has asked RAN and ForestEthics to campaign in solidarity with them to pressure Weyerhaeuser and Abitibi Consolidated, two multinational logging companies, to respect Grassy Narrows' right to free, prior and informed consent and indefinitely and immediately halt logging in their territory until the community has decided amongst themselves how they want to manage their land. We seek dedicated activists with a commitment to social and ecological justice.

The World Bank and the right wing ARENA political party (aligned with US Pres. Bush) have been sizing up to control El Salvador's water supply for years. Is 2006 the year that transnational corporations like Coca Cola get full access?

More than a thousand people have died in the Philippines, as a result of a tremendous landslide. As they slipped beneath the mud of the nearby mountainside, did they know who was to blame? As it turns out, logging was to blame. People of Cascadia, take note.
The only problem is the fact that we can not stop their games of war if we as Americans are not willing to take a stand by creating our own resources as a people and stop depending on the same corporate thugs that poison our air and water with their poison for a dollar mentality.
You'd think the translator of a text that shows that people can't understand texts that have passages left out of them would NOT leave any passages out of his/her translation. But Ken Knabb may not be as good a translator as we'd like to think, because he failed to translate a full third of the situationists' crucial essay "How not to understand situationist books"!

The mass media's real "job," unbeknownst to the general public, is and has always been to protect the status quo, that is, to protect the interests of the governing classes. What currently threatens their legitimacy (and that of the ruling classes) is not that they have not been doing their job in the last few years, but rather that the public has begun to realize that the real function of the mass media (and the government) is to work against the public interest. This growing realization is a terrifying prospect for the ruling classes.
Since the revelations on Able Danger prove that the story of Atta must be a fraud, the Official Story must be a fraud. The 9-11 Commission knew about the Able Danger story, but omitted it from their report, obviously because it didn't match the Official Story.
"The ability to alter the course of climate change lies in the hands of regular people. It is not an easy task by any means. Nevertheless, it is a task that humanity must begin to take; with or without our leaders... A free society is obligated to correct the wrongs of its government. If it cannot, then it is not free. If a people refuse to right the wrongs of their government, their endorsements make them equally culpable, and ultimately, they too will carry the burden of responsibility."
A moratorium and a UN mediation commission are vital to prevent escalation in the Iran nuclear conflict.. Since 1968, the nuclear weapon states and their allies have refused to conduct negotiations on total nuclear disarmament.

Who knows in this day and age what defeat means or how it is measured? Is defeat measured in the number of our soldiers that are killed and wounded or is it the number of innocent civilians killed?

In 2005 I heard that Coalition forces were camped in the ruins of Babylon. I heard that bulldozers had dug trenches through the site and cleared areas for helicopter landing pads and parking lots, that thousands of sandbags had been filled with dirt and archaeological fragments, that a 2600-year-old brick pavement had been crushed by tanks, and that the moulded bricks of dragons had been gouged out from the Ishtar Gate by soldiers collecting souvenirs. I heard that the ruins of the Sumerian cities of Umma, Umm al-Akareb, Larsa and Tello were completely destroyed and were now landscapes of craters.
with one month to go, we offer the following update
The Bush administration took a further step on Wednesday in its campaign against Iran by requesting a large increase in funding for the political destabilisation of the Tehran regime.
Speaking to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice declared that the US would "actively confront" Iran and called for an extra $75 million to fund anti-Tehran propaganda and to support opposition groups inside and outside the country. Last year just $10 million was allocated to such activities. Rice carefully avoided the use of the term "regime change" and its obvious associations with the US campaign that culminated in the illegal invasion of Iraq. But there is no mistaking the Bush administration's intention to subvert and remove the current Iranian regime.

When I think of America, the picture in my mind is not the Statue of Liberty or the flag, but the Loompanics Unlimited catalog. Loompanics is the apotheosis - a word I've always craved the opportunity to use - of free speech, the most perfect example of everything that's right with our beloved country. As Marilyn epitomizes movie stardom, as Willie epitomizes country music -in the same way, Loompanics is the ideal example of what America is all about. Or was meant to be.

As the history of COINTELPRO reveals, the idea here is not to monitor Osama's phone calls placed from an Afghan cave, but instead investigating and disrupting dissident political organizations and individuals (and thus violating the Constitution and the Bill of Rights).
The release of more horrifying photographs and videos from Abu Ghraib prison sheds a revealing light on the hypocritical and genuinely sinister character of the supposed "free speech" campaign surrounding the publication of anti-Muslim cartoons in the European and international press.
The Australian Special Broadcasting Service's "Dateline" program broadcast a number of the new images from Abu Ghraib on Wednesday. One video revealed a handcuffed man pounding his head against a metal cell door. In other pictures the same man is shown dangling upside down, smeared with his own feces. The corpse of a man who allegedly died during a CIA interrogation appears in another photograph. Certain images reveal detainees obviously wounded and bleeding. SBS aired a video clip of five men with bags over their heads, masturbating on their guards' orders.
