Fresh off his championing of Gen. Wesley Clark for president, Michael Moore attacks Mumia Abu Jamal. With great White "progressives" like Michael Moore as "friends" who needs enemies?
As Malcolm X once said, White "Progressives" and White Conservatives are nothing more than two sides of the same coin. Fuck 'em all.
We are already paying More than European's Do.
Corporate shills like former Enron lobbyist and current GOP chairman Ed Gillespie would have us think the Republican party was born in service to corporations. But Abraham Lincoln, the first Republican president, was also the first president to actively use the power of government in support of striking workers.
In Lincoln's era, the idea of strikes was so novel the word "strike" was put in quotation marks in newspapers, but Lincoln was often on their side. "Labor," Lincoln wrote, "is prior to, and independent of, capital. Capital is only the fruit of labor, and could never have existed if Labor had not first existed. Labor is superior to capital, and deserves much the higher consideration." Republicans would do well to revisit the Republican Party's campaign platform of 1872, before the era of corporate personhood, as it may hold the seeds of their redemption.
"Very different things must be done for relaxation on the labor market.. Frims don't adequately promote flexibility of working hours.. `The demand for a normal 10-hour work day means that employees must work overtime and lose the bonus'."
America living as a collective teenager (Richard Rohr, Simplicity) fell for the trickle down lie that somehow magically the poor will become rich.
"The `rebellion of the respectable failed because important positions of rightwing extremists take their place `within society'. These positions, particularly `the boat is full', are part of the accepted self-image of `democratic' parties.. The organized rightwing phenomenon overshadowed the foundations of rightwing extremism: racism, social Darwinism.."
The prime target Wolfowitz responsible for thousands of deads, sadly escapes again a deadly strike but the jewish homicidal strategist looked shaken and his heart drops very fast into his boots
Members of [the Republican & Democratic] parties are accusing the White House of stonewalling the federal commission investigating the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks by blocking its demands for documents despite threats of a subpoena.
NYT says families with all girls are more likely to divorce or separate and somehow this negatively affects the national economy. Yeah right.. If anything, the opposite is true but that's applying the same kind of sexism. (Commentary + Repost)
For those who have not heard, Aldous Huxley's book "Brave New World" is being banned in high schools and colleges across the nation. As an act of resistence I will be posting the book chapter by chapter on P-Indy. Let us read it together. Put down the soma, turn off the mind numbing TV and open your minds.
Earlier this year, a handful of us from NEFAC took our activity a step beyond supporting the struggles of others, and set out to organize our own workplace. For the first time in nearly seventy years anarchist militants would be at the forefront of a class struggle in the Boston area, successfully leading a campaign for unionization using explicitly anarchist strategies, tactics, and methods of organizing.
Dean's subversion of the Bill of Rights through judicial appointments.
A cynic might say that the true purpose of college is to teach exactly such lessons. After all, college graduates are a relative elite, comprising only 25 percent of the adult population, and they are expected to fill the kind of administrative and managerial jobs that make it a positive advantage to be able to starve workers, impose layoffs, and bust unions without losing a minute of sleep.

MADISON, N.J., Oct. 25 — The chairman of the federal commission investigating the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks says that the White House is continuing to withhold several highly classified intelligence documents from the panel and that he is prepared to subpoena the documents if they are not turned over within weeks
"If my observations are correct, and the reasons that there are so few female libertarians are reasons that may be hard to overcome, the next step is to decide how much of a problem this is."
"Why is Sharon dangerous? Because he doesn't try to keep his promise of peace and his promise of security is worthless. Because he is a damned adventurer who mocks dangers even if his people must pay the price..Because the steps of a very capable tactician are very dangerous.." translated from the German
America is at war and the international community now hates and distrusts us. I worry America will be in a perpetual war on the world, and I do not believe we can do that endlessly without the Draft being reinstated. They are going to require expendable bodies, eventually, for all this warring. Men not old enough to be allowed to buy alcohol, are registered to fight in wars. This article outlines the CO system, STEP BY STEP, prepare now.

It's that time of year again. Fall is in the air, kids are back in school, and frightened Democrats are warning the Green Party not to run a candidate for president next year. "The issues are too serious," we're told, "and the incumbent too awful. Just for this election, forget your progressive values, hold your nose, and vote for whichever conservative white male the Dems decide to run. After all, anyone's better than Bush."
Attorney General Thomas Reilly said gases are causing serious environmental and health problems."You're seeing the erosion of our beaches. You're seeing salt water contaminate our drinking water.

Raining on a parade--or, in this case, an anti-war march--isn't likely to win one popularity contests. But somebody has got to raise the alarm. The upcoming Oct. 25 march in Washington DC is being billed as a revitalization of the movement which made history with coordinated worldwide protests against the looming US-led assualt on Iraq Feb. 15. But the new mobilization actually represents a dangerous step backwards for the anti-war forces in the US.
Corporate interests are buying and selling your personal information even as you read this. Your name, address, telephone number, credit history, where you went to school, and other personal information -- in short, your personal privacy is for sale. Want it stopped? That's the fun part.

"This core brutality..declares: all persons incapable of work are on principle unworthy of life..The capitalist logic passes this judgment over individuals, spheres and institutions. Training, education, care, intercession, the public health system, art and culture appear as dead costs that can be eliminated..The logic of capital is as blind and insensitive as a physical process." translated from the German

As usual, some of the best coverage of what is happening in the United States is coming from the foreign press.
America produces a quarter of the world's carbon dioxide emissions, the population has risen by 100 million since 1970 and when an area three times the size of Britain was recently opened up for mining, drilling, logging and road building, no one took much notice. What does the Bush administration do? It ignores all attempts to curb environmental damage. In a major investigation that took him from the Salton Sea in California to Crooked Creek in Florida, Matthew Engel reports on how America is ravaging the planet
A study released yesterday by The Commonwealth Fund found that the rate of uninsured workers has increased

HABBARIYAH, Iraq - American troops in helicopters swooped down on this remote sheepherding village in the desert and detained nearly all the men, one as old as 81, one as young as 13.
"The wars since the last century mark the age of an incipient accumulation crisis with gigantic capital destruction (in the two world wars).. Unlike the zapatista peasants movement in Mexico, the rebellion in Seattle arose in the heart of imperialism and expanded into a worldwide movement against the setbacks of neoliberal crisis management.." translated from the German
Documents are publicly available that detail vulnerabilities in electronic voting machines manufactured by the Diebold Corporation. Diebold has been sending cease and desist letters to internet service providers (ISPs) that host the documents or links to them. Numerous Indymedia servers have been targeted by Diebold in its campaign to suppress this critical information.
Indymedia will defend its right to post internal memos and documents detailing vulnerabilities in electronic voting machines manufactured by the Diebold Corporation. The documents were made publicly available, and subsequently reported by writer Bev Harris on her websites blackboxvoting.com and blackboxvoting.org. The vast information contained in these documents is still being investigated by top computer scientists and researchers, but a set of widely circulated internal memos detail Diebold's flippant disregard of test runs, accuracy audits, and security for its voting machines. System tests (much like a dress rehearsal) are often required by local election laws--Diebold memos mention how they simply changed the name "memory test" to "***System Test Passed***" as if the machine performed a self audit. The memos also say how Diebold installed new versions of the voting software that were left untested. Their election results are not secure, as evidenced by this comment in one email regarding the "contents" (i.e. the votes) of the e-voting machines: "Now, where the perception comes in is that its right now very *easy* to change the contents. Double click the .mdb file." Diebold's Republican executives have touted e-voting as a solution to the punchcard voting systems that scandalized Florida in 2000. In fact, this evidence of security and reliability flaws raises serious questions about this "solution" to election woes in the US.

An Opinion Piece
ONE DOES NOT GET ATTACKED SO FOR BEING OFF COURSE. I am publishing sensitive material, sensitive to the Bush cartel, hiding behind a facade of national security. This is it folks.

MN Senator Changes Position On Cuba

Since the end of the Vietnam War, presidents have worried that their military actions would lose support once the public glimpsed the remains of U.S. soldiers arriving at air bases in flag-draped caskets.
To this problem, the Bush administration has found a simple solution: It has ended the public dissemination of such images by banning news coverage and photography of dead soldiers' homecomings on all military bases.
"The fight for freedom in this country has been long, painful, and ongoing. It is time to take back our country. Take it back from political agendas, corporate greed and overall manipulation. It is time to take action here in our land, in our own schools, neighborhoods, farms, and businesses. We have been lied to and terrorized by our own government, and it is time to take action. Now is the time to come together."

The fact is that narcotic addicts can - if adequately supplied with their drugs - lead perfectly productive lives.
Conventional wisdom in Washington has always held that one reason U.S. policy has been heavily skewed toward Israel is that Israel's supporters voted as a block and the Arabs did not. The story may be very different in 2004.
