Atenco Prisoners launch hunger strike
217 prisoners began a hunger strike in central Mexico Friday protesting the conditions of their arrests and their treatment at the hands of local police. Reports have been filtering out from jail of rape, physical and mental abuse experienced by people who were arrested for their involvement in the defenses of Texcoco and Atenco. Meanwhile, five foreigners are facing deportation, about sixty people are missing, independent media makers have been targeted for arrest and one 14 year-old boy is dead.

Martial Law Declared in Korean Village

1,000's clash in resistance to U.S. base expansion. May 6th - The Korean Ministry of National Defense has declared martial law in the village of Daechuri and surrounding areas in its latest attempt to seize the land slated to be property of the United States military. In an attempt to control the escalating chaos that ensued when it sent troops and riot police to evict residents and activists, the MND is conducting door to door searches and arresting people on sight. Road blockades of sand bags and police buses have been placed around the village to prevent anyone from entering or exiting. Even the press, which had prior access, is no longer allowed to document the police activities

Yes, I did file that suit today over legal nonpersonhood of mothers!!!
BUT, along with everything I included in the suit, like stating the fact that uprooting a person from their home, starving them, denying them free speech and freedom of assembly, etc., are actually ACTS OF WAR............they dismissed the whole thing as "frivolous" !!!!!!!!!! "frivolous" !!!!!!!!!!

Summarizing the Sudden "Rash of Truthiness" against Bush, Rumsfeld, Cheney, and Bolton
Bolton's anger at questions of his credibility and motives and PNAC, at the U.N. [summary for forwarding---the sudden rash of 'truthiness'] from late April into May 2006 ---] COMMENTARY/SUMMARY/VIDEO: "Unscripted PR" (i.e., reality) intrudes on neocons:

1. ex-CIA officer questions Rumsfeld in Atlanta on his lies of going to war with Iraq, Rumsfeld tries to have him removed, fails

2. Cheney massively booed at baseball park, despite "PR-symbolism protection" of attempting to shield and associate himself with injured vets, fails to work, huge boos

3. Bush lampooned 30 min. straight in DC Dinner; Bush frozen in place, through turning red like a volcano, looks like he came unhinged, kid's temper tantrum

4. Bolton as well, pounced on at the U.N. when he wants to pre-emptively invade Iran as well: "...you violated the UN charter [on no preemptive war] when you went to war against [UN member] Iraq and you constantly lied to us about the reasons we went to war...[this is a pre-emptive war for Israel, and is connected...]...in 1996 with the Project of New American Century and, you know, why do you have credibility other than you just got the bigger guns?"

Moussaoui gets life: Bush displays acumen
Just when you thought the idiot President (Americans please note) couldn't top his previous efforts at pure imbecility, he does it again! Bush, responding to the verdict handed down to small fry terrorist, Moussaoui, stated that, "Moussaoui got a life sentence, that means he will spend the rest of his life in jail." [Doh!] Would the real leaders of the United States please show your faces because hiding behind this cretin is becoming tedious. We would all like to know who really is determining the course of the nation since the Zionists, Wolfowitz and Perle, have jumped ship. [Remember their (now failed) plan to safeguard Israel by duping the US into invading Iraq and eliminating Saddam after the missile attacks on Tel Aviv). Israel now faces a more horrendous nightmare as a direct result of the failures in Iraq. 'O, what tangled webs'!]

Secret Levis Jeans spychip RFID to consumer backlash? refuse to tell consumers where it is
RFID spychips can be smaller than 1/10th of a grain of rice... the spy in your jeans, perhaps microwave your clothes for 10 seconds to destroy them...other suggestions welcome... STOP THE CONSUMER CORPORATE POLICE STATE

"Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is a controversial technology that uses tiny microchips to track items from a distance. These RFID microchips have earned the nickname "spychips" because each contains a unique identification number, like a Social Security number for things, that can be read silently and invisibly by radio waves. Over 40 of the world's leading privacy and civil liberties organizations have called for a moratorium on chipping individual consumer items because the technology can be used to track people without their knowledge or consent."

Bennetton's RFID was nipped in the bud in 2003 with a huge consumer backlash. Now, companies like Levis Strauss keep mum about the U.S. test location in order to prevent such a consumer backlash, effectively lying to their consumers about adulteration of their clothing with RFID. Clothing retailer Benetton was hit hard by a consumer boycott led by Albrecht in 2003 when the company announced plans to embed RFID tags in its Sisley line of women's clothing. The resulting consumer outcry forced the company to retreat from its plans and disclaim its intentions. The same can happen to Levi Strauss doubly so, because it is attempting to do this against the wide consumer opposition to being tracked, much less having it secretly introduced by Levi Strauss!

Philippines: Agrarian violence claims more lives under Gloria Macapagal Arroyo Regime
Eric Cabanit Agrarian violence claimed two more lives this month. A leader of Task Force Mapalad (TFM), Rico Adeva, 39, was gunned down by three men as he and his wife Nenita were walking to their home in Barangay Dos Hermanas, Silay City, Negros Occidental on Black Saturday. He suffered seven bullet wounds - in the head, stomach, chest, and hand. Meanwhile, in Davao, the Secretary General of the National Coordination of Autonomous Local Rural People's Organizations (UNORKA), Eric Cabanit, was assassinated by two masked men while he was in a public market in Panabo last April 24, 2006. His daughter, who was with him when the shooting happened, was also wounded and is still in critical condition.

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.

France: Government launches assault on immigrants
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.
