In the name of the liberalization of the market, the population sees itself robbed of its elementary rights. Every area of life and nature is for sale.. Centuries of the exploitation of the people of the third world..give them the right to a reparation and prompt the question "Who owes whom?".. War has changed into a structural and permanent part of the global hegemony..We also denounce the deliberate attempt of imperialism to intensify tribal conflicts.

I am a Portland activist that has been traveling in Southeast Asia for around three months. Recently in Thailand, the Prime Minister with the military elite who run the country have declared an open war against "drug dealers." This war has turned into a terror campaign that has already left over a 1000 people murdered by special police/military death squads, just within a weeks time. There are police and military checkpoints everywhere, searching for the people on the "death list." The military command of Thailand has just closed down the INN news service due to its reporting of the murders.

A drug legalization conference sidebar about the strong leftist Colombian movement--the real reason the US attempts to dominate militarily. Colombia is the threat of a good example: large peasant uprisings demanding land ownership and an armed guerilla movement that has never been defeated.
it's hard to hear dates over and over, but we have to be prepared over and over.
Out from the Shadows: Ending Drug Prohibition in the 21st Century convened in Merida, Mexico. The US war on drugs is an illusionary excuse to crush Latin American social movements and to control resources and strategic military locations. Portland journalist kim stephenson reports.
In a sense, what's transpiring reminds one of the delicious secret of "The Wizard of Oz": more and more people are beginning to sense, and sometimes even see, that the "all-powerful" governmental leader behind the curtain is just a flawed little man broadcasting to an overly-awed (and/or frightened) polity.
..."the French are owed several billion dollars by Saddam for their past help in supplying the sinews of aggression against Iran, Kuwait and Kurdistan.
The Russian government, too, is seeking lucrative contracts in the Iraqi market and is being rewarded with such contracts for its slithery behaviour at the UN. Excuse me, comrades, but that is "blood for oil"."

KBOOs Andrew Stelzer has the story.

Monty Python on Bush's War
Once an empire, always an empire.
Who would have thought that Jeb Bush, the president's brother, was a closet supporter of the leftwingers who fought against Franco in the Spanish civil war? But this week the governor of Florida has caused ripples by referring to Spain as the "republic" it was then rather than as the monarchy it is now.
Who really cares about the "human rights" of the Iraqi people?

shit, look at how many folks are turning out around the world to protest the war!
This is a "corporate" media account of the millions that started marching in the streest as of Friday....Yes that's right the corporate media is beginning to catch on...probably because they do not want to lose advertising dollars...but here is the story from CBS News online
Democratic socialism as a transformational process could remedy the social coldness and ecological blindness of neoliberalism and its total absolute market. Seemingly worlds away from our culture of info-tainment distorted by advertising, the vision of democratic socialism deserves discussion. In our culture as in Germany, people believe that radical change is necessary but see little prospect. Translated from the German in: Utopie kreativ, 2000.
