MIAMI -- Protestors seemed to skirmish with heavily armored Miami police outside the Riande Hotel Thursday morning, but nothing is at it seems this week. These "anarchists" were undercover police officers whose mission was to provoke a confrontation.

(nytimes) FBI Scrutinizes Antiwar Rallies
(quote of article intro from AlterNet -- http://www.alternet.org/rights/2003/11/001424.html ) It is depressing to learn that what you have may have long suspected is unapologetically true. A confidential FBI bureau memorandum leaked to the New York Times shows the bureau has collected information on demonstrators and has advised local officials to report suspicious activity to counterterrorism squads. "The F.B.I. memorandum ... appears to offer the first corroboration of a coordinated, nationwide effort to collect intelligence regarding demonstrations."

JFK, 9-11, and the REAL America: Tying It All Together
What makes you think you actually KNOW what happened on those planes? All four were obliterated, along with everyone on board, remember? No crime scene, no direct evidence, no recognizable remains, no witnesses whatsoever -- it's a blank canvas.
How convenient for any party intent on launching a new era of global imperialism, and willing to spin this tragedy into a viable excuse.

Rich Lowry’s Lesson in Junk History
Today, if Rich Lowry stood in Coalition-devastated Iraq, at the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, he would be at a source that once "watered Sumeria and Akkad, and nourished the Hanging Gardens of Babylon" (Will Durant's "Story of Civilization"). The peoples of this ancient land, once known as Mesopotamia, (part of which is holy also to Christianity), prepared the first codes of law, under the magnificent Hammurabi.

ROTC at University of Arkansas
The next day I began to receive phone calls regarding Bill Clinton's draft status. I was informed by the draft board that it was of interest to Senator Fullbright's office that Bill Clinton, a Rhodes Scholar, should be admitted to the ROTC program. I received several such calls. The general message conveyed by the draft board to me was that Senator Fullbright's office was putting pressure on them and that they needed my help. I then made the necessary arrangements to enroll Mr. Clinton into the ROTC program at the University of Arkansas.

In opposition to political speech
Like many activists, i've been accused of being "too into" politics. i'd like to set the record straight on this, and i hope i can speak for other activists, too: i hate politics. What is the politics i hate? It is a method, a way of interacting, a thought construct, that exists in opposition to honesty. Politics is the careful manipulation of words and ideas based on how you speculate they might be received. Politics is when you want one thing, but express a desire for another. Politics is what happens when you "package" your ideas for the corporate media, censor yourself for the mainstream, or soften your language for some particular imagined audience. Politics is all about control. Politics is backroom deals, bcc'd emails, and asking other people to speak for you because you're afraid they won't listen when you open your mouth yourself. Politics is careful word choices rather than your true beliefs. Political speech is when you don't say what you mean so you can get what you want. Politics is about ego, not co-operation. Political speech is lying, with a fake smile and a handshake. Politics sickens me.

Bashing Greens Won't Help
Here's a bit of advice for those who don't support Nader or other Greens. If you don't like the Green candidates, don't vote for them. And if you want to win an election, go out and get some folks to vote for you -- like that 50 percent of the American voters who represent the largest party in America, the nonvoters. On the way, you might build a party and a platform with some integrity, not just insults.

Defeatism: Washington must face Iraqi Reality
"The US has a problem. The problem is called war. After 9/11, Vice-president Cheney promised the world a `war against terror' without end, a superman against the shady customers as a final showdown. Now and then life actually imitates Hollywood..The just war euphoria has noticeably dampened in the US..A half year of Iraqi resistance against the occupation turned the war enthusiasm into war weariness."

More important is that at least one third of our economy's full time -- nearly 50 million workers -- do not earn a living wage! The federal minimum wage, adjusted for inflation since 1968 would be around $8 an hour. Instead, it has remained at $5.15 an hour, exerting a downward pull on lower income wages generally.

Ruling on gay marriage a reminder of the discrimination toward all.
The recent decision by the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court is not just a gay rights issue. The issue affects all non-white and female citizens in the United States as well. The language that is being chosen by people who oppose gay marriage makes it clear that the oppression they seek to impose goes much deeper, targeting everyone who is not part of the white, male, heterosexual population.

Hi, I'm a local PDX indymedia contributor. It's the 40 anniversary of the JFK assassination. ABC news has just "proved" that Oswald did it. Before you believe that take a look at JFK Witness. Below is an announcement about a sophisticated e-book reader and a library of e-books that I am giving away starting today.
Below is an update from CISPES staff who are down in Miami for the FTAA meetings taking place as we speak. Somewhere between 60-100 people from Portland have journeyed down to Miami as well, and will be giving a reportback when they return. The reportback will take place Sunday, December 7 at the First Unitarian Church, 1011 SW Main St. at 7:00pm. It will be a multi-media presentation and a discussion about what happened in Miami and where we're going from here. Please join us for this important event.
