The former Green Candidate for US President (and Dems favorite scapegoat for the hard-fighting Gore/Lieberman loss to BusChENEY) articulates his support more as an attack on Hillary--"a corporate Democrat"--than embracing Edwards' rhetoric. Think Dems are suspiciously wondering just what Ralph's up to now?
Mid-December, I was doing the 10 minute walk at the end of my commute to work, and I noticed some traffic of the stop/go variety. Though not unordinary, I took particular note of a yellow school bus with maybe 15 windows of kids peering out. In a fit of creativity, I saw that image as a metaphor for the nation trusting that the ostensible "adult" leadership of the Bush Administration is working to achieve what is in the best interests of the country and the world. The naive, trusting eyes looking out the windows of the yellow school bus showed not cynicism, but a complete faith that the adults in charge have their interests at heart.
On October 29, 2007, Dylan Barr entered a guilty plea to one felony count of Second Degree Extortion in Seattle, WA for disrupting the operations of Washington Mutual Bank with a Denial of Service attack because of its investment in Huntington Life Sciences. After a two-year period of legal limbo and non-snitching plea deal negotiations, he was sentenced to 232 hours -29 days— of community service and ordered to pay Washington Mutual Bank $25,000 in restitution.
After seven years of this president, the US is less prepared than ever to face the future. The world was a very different place when G W Bush took office in January 2001. Joseph Stiglitz is a Nobel Prize economist, former chief economist at the World Bank and Columbia professor.

It is every well-informed American's obligation to Ensure that every one of the incumbent stooges is opposed by a true Peace Candidate like Cindy Sheehan or Col. Bob Bowman. A person that is committed to ending the war and squashing the corruption in DC.
An array of sideline, retired, political brokers and elites from earlier eras are making noises for a "national unity" ingredient in the evolving US presidential campaign. Both establishment parties' fields of candi- dates are seen to be rushing to polarize, threatening the precious plu- tocracy,"further erosion in America's power of leadership and example."
The mainstream media keeps getting it wrong. In alternative media venues, we can get the truth out. Portland author Jules Boykoff sees dissent's demise at the hands of big media.
The Bush Administration is employing a new back-door plan to subvert the present policy of protecting Roadless Wildlife Habitat Areas towards a policy of extracting the timber and minerals from these critical areas.

This means that 16 states with less than a thousand Greens have 32 delegate votes in the Green Party's National Committee enabling them to outvote states like Pennsylvania which has 15,000 Greens yet only eight delegate votes.

PLAISTOW, N.H. -- Ron Paul said the decision to exclude him from a debate on Fox News Sunday the weekend before the New Hampshire Primary is proof that the network "is scared" of him.

The emerging revolution in communications is accelerating
the crisis in activists groups (like the Revolutionary Communist Party) which have strong cult features. At the same time, the communications revolutions will also be of great help in the process of activists sorting out their errors and regrouping on a healthier and more solid basis
ARLINGTON, VIRGINIA - According to the New Hampshire State Republican Party and an Associated Press report, Republican presidential candidate and Texas Congressman Ron Paul will be excluded from an upcoming forum of Republican candidates to be broadcast by Fox News on January 6, 2008.

Its up to us to let them know what the WORLD NEEDS.
The left wing of the antiwar movement has some very serious problems, mainly our inability to recognize that the antiwar sentiment in the United States is resonating far beyond the confines of the so-called "left."
We cannot step back and effectively analyze the failures of the antiwar movement without peering under the hood of John Kerry's campaign in 2004. In essence, I think the majority of the left made a huge mistake on this issue by not opposing the Democrats; the movement supported a pro-war position by not opposing Sen. Kerry, who promised to continue the occupation of Iraq. There was no pressure on Kerry to alter his position on the war. No bird-dogging protests along the campaign trail. No outrage over his flip-flopping-let's-send-more-troops-into-battle rhetoric. Silence during election season is complicity. So let's be loud.
I refuse to accept the Thoguht Crimes Act as a done deal. Resistance is mounting. Please help keep up the pressure on your Senators.
The article below by Sherry Wolf explains (in a way that everyone can understand) why being "anti-war" or supposedly "anti-fascist" should not be in an of itself a good enough reason to support Ron Paul.
The following excerpt challenges those who are considering supporting Paul to look a little deeper into the latest internet phenomenon. "Supporters of Ron Paul who show up to protests should have their reactionary conclusions challenged, not embraced. Those of his supporters who are wholly ignorant of his broader politics beyond the war, should be educated about them. And those who advocate his noxious politics, should be attacked for their racism, immigrant bashing, and hostility to the values a genuine Left champions. The sort of Left-Right alliance Frank advocates is not only opportunistic, but is also a repellent to creating the multiracial working-class movement that is sorely needed of we are to end this war. What Arabs, Blacks, Latinos-and antiracist whites, for that matter-would ever join a movement that accommodates to this know-nothing brand of politics?"
At Christmas time it has been my habit to write a column in remembrance of the many innocent people in prisons whose lives have been stolen by the US criminal justice (sic) system that is as inhumane as it is indifferent to justice. Usually I retell the cases of William Strong and Christophe Gaynor, two men framed in the state of Virginia by prosecutors and judges as wicked and corrupt as any who served Hitler or Stalin.
This year is different. All Americans are now imprisoned in a world of lies and deception created by the Bush Regime and the two complicit parties of Congress, by federal judges too timid or ignorant to recognize a rogue regime running roughshod over the Constitution, by a bought and paid for media that serves as propagandists for a regime of war criminals, and by a public who have forsaken their Founding Fathers.
We must transform 9/11 from a catalyzing event for imperialistic war-mongering to one for democracy renewal. We must convert terrorist-transfixed fear into political reform enthusiasm.
The pursuit of truth is not always the pursuit of happiness - not when the truth hurts. The 9/11 truth movement is not about finding immediate happiness. It is about rebooting American democracy and, after accomplishing that, earning happiness.
The 2008 presidential election is heating up. Neocon-Lite Sen. Barbara Mikulski (D-MD), in a spiel in the Baltimore Examiner, blasted President George W. Bush for shortchanging national priorities because of the cost of the Iraq War. She failed to mention, however, that she has been an enabler of that conflict and has done nothing to end it. The cynical Democratic Party strategy is to let the Iraq War continue and to blame Bush for everything.

DHS eventually wants to outsource the center's entire operations to the private sector. According to a source currently bidding on the opportunity as a subcontractor who asked to not be identified, DHS has issued a solicitation under its own Enterprise Acquisition Gateway for Leading Edge Solutions contract, which was created to purchase IT services and equipment.
The Democrats and Republicans have made it clear that they are the corporate parties and they only represent the interests of the capitalists and the billionaires. The new energy bill is another long term payment plan that will be required of working class people while the billionaires continue to collect.

As the wars drag on with no end in sight, new technology is enabling more of our wounded troops to survive, and naturally, survival comes with added cost.
From WWII to the present, survival rates rose from 1 dead for every 2.4 wounded to 1 dead to 8.3 wounded at present. In that time, an outfit cost went from $170 to $17,000 now. Future systems are expected to reach $28,000 to $60,000 in this decade. Every life is indeed precious, regardless of the price, but let us look at what makes up the cost of each system. Ever since, President Eisenhower coined the term Military Industrial Complex, most of us are aware of the huge profits war can provide for the weapon makers. How many of you are aware of the Prison Industrial Complex, (PIC)? Do you know the two complexes have now joined together to share in the rich profit bonanza? The PIC, one of the fastest growing industries in the nation is a network of public and private prisons, military personnel, politicians, business contacts, prison guard unions, contractors, sub-contractors, and suppliers, ALL making huge profits. And what makes all this profit possible?
A bill introduced by three western Senators on December 10 would

Review of Derrick Jensen's Q&A last night in Portland
As someone who truly respects and admires much of Derrick Jensen's work as an author and activist, I had been disappointed in the past when Derrick appeared to simply repeat what appeared to be a well rehearsed "production" at each of his last three speaking engagements in Portland. But last night was different, in a very good way.
Morgan Stanley has issued a full recession alert for the US economy, warning of a sharp slowdown in business investment and a perfect storm for consumers as the housing slump spreads. Under the conservative definition, man is the servant of money.

The Senate is considering S. 1959, a replica of H.R. 1955, the thought control bill! We have a chance to derail this ill conceived mess. Obama has backed away from reflexive support for the bill and is now neutral. Calling and emailing your two U.S. Senators is a high impact move right now.

Actions are scheduled across the country, many with a holiday flavor. None of the 88 events listed are in Oregon, but that doesn't prevent individual actions on Friday.
The spirit of '73 -- that is 1773 -- was proven to be alive and well as San Francisco Bay Area activists and concerned citizens came out on Sunday, December 16, 2007, to reenact a modern-day version of the Boston Tea Party, albeit with a twist: Instead of dumping tea into the Boston Harbor to protest unjust taxation by an oppressive king, they dumped the 9/11 Commission Report into the Bay to protest tyranny under another King George.
