The petrochemical industry is the reason for the U.S. occupation of Iraq. Plastics, pharmaceuticals, asphalt and other byproducts of petroleum are controlled by the industrial elite. We have other options beside petroleum dependence..
Fucking great article on how to establish your CO status.

As American soldiers massed on the Iraqi border in March and diplomats argued about war, an influential adviser to the Pentagon received a secret message from a Lebanese-American businessman: Saddam Hussein wanted to make a deal. "Mr. Obeidi told Mr. Hage that Iraq would make deals to avoid war, including helping in the Mideast peace process. "He said, if this is about oil, we will talk about U.S. oil concessions," Mr. Hage recalled. "If it is about the peace process, then we can talk. If this is about weapons of mass destruction, let the Americans send over their people. There are no weapons of mass destruction."

From the Reclaim the Media Listserve:
The progressive media has lost another important voice that spoke the truth.
"Around 6 million jobs are lacking in Germany. What moves politicians given this reality to assume that unemployment can be reduced by demanding more from the unemployed and applying more pressure?..How can the structural job deficit be overcome through reorganization.. How can jobs be created by abolishing jobs in the social infrastructure? How should persons in the low-income sector live?"
Long Live the Fedayeen! Death to the Opertunists, Zionists, and American Chauvenists! Long Live Palestine, FROM THE RIVER TO THE SEA! Victory to Iraq!
As the saying goes, if you can't convince them, confuse them. With more lies told each day by President George Bush, here is yet another one. The US Department of Defense changed the name from "Body Bag" to "Transfer Tube" to describe how the bodies of our young warriors are returned home in the dark of night, with no official count of their growing numbers, and no solemn public ceremony to honor their proud service ...
unbelievable: As American soldiers massed on Iraqi border and diplomats argued about war the Pentagon got a secret message from a Lebanese-American businessman: Saddam Hussein wanted to make a deal. Under secretary of defense for policy and planning office implicated.

In the most interesting development so far, the USA, Israel, and Russia have made a secret deal to destroy all the MiddleEast and create total destruction and famine. In return for cooperation all oil from russia will be sent through Israel. The US CFR approves the deal as the middel-east will no longer have oil revenue to finance 'terrorism'. Lastly the USA said to destroy all infrastructure in Iran & Syria in the next 48 hours.
The United States aims to secure agreements "with every country in the world" guaranteeing immunity for its citizens from any prosecution from the new International Criminal Court (ICC), and will cut off military aid to countries which do not comply.

Since Saturday, people in the Highlands of Scotland have been witnessing large movements of US warplanes overhead. Experienced observers say the large numbers are reminiscent of those that preceded the bombing of Iraq in 1998 and military strikes on Libya in the1980's as well as the first Gulf War.
Here is a good analysis of the supposed "anti-globalization" NGO, the World Social Forum, which has been embraced by many "progressives" and Liberal-Leftists like Noam Chomsky Michael Albert of ZMag (not to mention Indymedia) as some kind of progressive political force against Capitalism.
Nothing could be further from the truth.

The federal government hid $8.5 million gift to the Miami police for "security" at the FTAA meetings in Miami, November 17-21. Ya'll come down!
BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) -- For a second night, three loud explosions shook central Baghdad on Tuesday after an apparent rocket attack on a coalition compound.
Responding to reports of no-bid contracts and cost overruns by firms involved in reconstruction, the legislation creates the post of a watchdog inspector general to oversee spending by the U.S.-led Coalition Provisional Authority. It requires the inspector general to submit quarterly reports to Congress, but also gives the president the right to waive the reports, or portions of them, for national security reasons. [WTF??? Fucking rubber stamp jerkoff congress!]]
Emerging markets like Brazil, India, and Mexico should not strive for a mythical free-market economy (which never existed, nor follow the encomiums of US special interests -- for they preach free markets but rely on the government to advance their aims.

Many of the conflicts on Earth are perpetuated by wealthy European white males; from the English royalty and Columbus to American Emporer Bush and Cheney. The oppressed people were/are Iraqi, Dineh, African, Irish and any other race/nationality that did not suit the dominator's patriarchal culture.

What is Dean covering up? Tom Fitton of Judicial Watch believes Dean is obviously hiding something. "Dean's personal political ambitions and apparent obsession with keeping his public record secret are not consistent with Vermont law," Fitton says "nor are they compatible with principles of transparency and accountability in government."
The poor are fighting fires in California for $1 an hour.
for anyone interested, the following websites have archives and recent material from Chomsky (interviews, radio programs, lectures, articles, etc). good sources for people interested in his analysis of ongoing and current events.
Las Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia (FARC) advirtieron que los 73 rehenes en su poder, entre ellos la ex candidata presidencial Ingrid Betancourt, sólo recuperarán la libertad si 400 guerrilleros salen de la cárcel. Lo dijo a IPS Noticias el número dos del grupo, Raúl Reyes.
"Almost half of Democrats said party leaders were too willing to compromise with Bush, while more than four in 10 said they want the top Democrats to compromise more." - Translation? They may be doomed as a party, so we can all expect frantic attacks on the Greens to heat up over the next year.
Sooner or later, all foreign troops will have to leave Iraq. If they do not do so voluntarily, they will be driven out. Their continuing presence is a spur to violence. When Iraq's people regain control of their own destiny they will decide the internal structures and the external policies of their country. One can hope that this will combine democracy and social justice, a formula that has set Latin America alight but is greatly resented by the Empire. Meanwhile, Iraqis have one thing of which they can be proud and of which British and US citizens should be envious: an opposition.
John Perry Barlow speaks out passionately on The State of the
Counterculture 2004: 'If someone like Karl Rove had wanted to neutralize the most creative, intelligent, and passionate members of his opposition, he'd have a hard time coming up with a better tool than Burning Man. Exile them to the wilderness, give them a culture in which alpha status requires months of focus and resource-consumptive preparation, provide them with metric tons of psychotropic confusicants, and then . . . ignore them. It's a pretty safe bet that they won't be out registering voters, or doing anything that might actually threaten electoral change, when they have an art car to build.'
This is not a one or two day protest. It is an eight month walking prayer, 2,000 miles in Australia and 1,400 miles in Japan, attempting to forward a message to the world that we can and should have a nuclear free future.
Independent journalist Bill Weinberg has been getting the news we're not supposed to know firsthand from Latin American countries for many months now, and has been following closely the effects of the "war on terror" worldwide and reporting them.
