Guide to the Republican National Convention packed with info on RNC events, protests, restaurants, lodging, and more.
Why is the Republican National Convention being held in New York City? Which political Einstein decided that this was a good idea? Why not Dallas, Texas . . . Miami, Florida . . . St. Louis, Missouri . . . Atlanta, Georgia? Why hold a convention in a city that has already been a target, has existed under an elevated state of alert since 9/11, is disturbingly close to Washington, DC and the financial centers which are supposed to be targets . . . and whose resources have already been stretched to the limit by terrorism expenditures and twin tower cleanup?
Bush will almost certainly not carry New York State and the largest anti-war demonstrations in the country have materialized on the streets of New York; if history is any indicator, the convention will provoke enormous demonstrations requiring even more security. Is the goal to bankrupt New York - morally and fiscally? If I were a New Yorker, I would be furious . . . and broke.

New Kerry ad claims his vietnam war wounds were self inflicted and he committed war crimes!
DUMMERSTON, Vt. - "Sometimes, from the point of the activist, the perfect becomes the enemy of the good." Former Vermont governor Howard Dean has been saying that line a lot over the past couple of months as he travels the country in his role as the anti-Nader.
What we have here is a race for the highest office in the land between two warmongers, Bush and Kerry.
"The FCC has unanimously approved the U.S. Justice Department's bid to expand CALEA to broadband and VoIP networks, according to reports from SecurityFocus and News.com. This means, following a mandatory public comment period, service providers will have to wire their networks for easy law enforcement surveillance, the way phone companies do now. The feds have wanted this for a long time." Ebon Praetor adds a link to Reuters' version, writing "In addition, the FCC has decided that the push-to-talk, or walkie-talkie, functions available on phones from Nextel should also be subject to the same tapping regulations that regular phones are."
Let's see - the government has gone from refusing on national security grounds to release ANY details about ANY intelligence they supposedly had supporting claims of "WMDs", "imminent threats" and the like, to being EXTREMELY specific about the information supporting the latest round of "terror alerts".

I don't know what I'd do if I didn't have these guys issuing terror warnings based on the most accurate and up-to-date information available. Well, one thing I won't be doing is forgotting to pick up some more rye at the liquor store tonight. My supply is getting low. What's on T.V. tonight?

This is a repost from rense.com of an article comparing the achievements of presidential candidates Kerry, Bush and Nader.
We are at a moment in history where Bush & Kerry and the whole ruling class are looking for a mandate--looking for an approving thumbs-up, or at least a complicit silence from people in this country for their whole war-of-empire horrors and homeland repression. They want to go forward--with whoever wins--and say, "This was the will of the people." But MILLIONS are fed-up with this program and do not want to go along with it.
So Bush says Americans don't torture? Depends on your interpretation of torture. Here's mine from experience......

More evidence surfaces proving way more than prior knowledge in the events of 9-11. Proving HIGH TREASON by persons within our government who participated and had prior knowledge in these murderous events. We must never give up untill thes criminals are brought to justice.
In a hyper-patriotic country, it can be difficult to tell the truth about the barbarism of one's own leaders. But in 1971, John Kerry was among the Vietnam War veterans who did that, telling the Senate Foreign Relations Committee:
According to AP (

Bristol Township, PA - On an overcast and muggy summer day, Jeff Cohn spent time in the parking lot of the Wal-Mart in Bristol Borough doing what he's done a lot lately - asking people to give him a reason to vote in November.
 Peter Tatchell is a leading gay and human rights campaigner (in England). Peter Tatchell says that animal experiments have undermined HIV research and hindered new treatments. Here is an article he wrote for SHAC: The development of life-saving protease inhibitor treatments for HIV was delayed for four years by the pharmaceutical company Merck, after the first trials of protease drugs killed laboratory dogs and rats. During those four years, tens of thousands of people with AIDS died, perhaps needlessly. Many might have benefited from the new drugs, including my dear friend, the filmmaker Derek Jarman. He and many others could now be alive if Merck had not submitted its protease research programme to the "Russian roulette" of animal testing.

The officer who replaced Kerry in Vietnam has written a book in which he and others of Kerry's swift boat crew claim Kerry committed war crimes, and 2 of his 3 purple heart wounds were self inflicted in order to have enough points to get out of Vietnam early.

On Aug 3, Trinity County, California became only the second county in the nation to ban the growing of genetically engineered (GE) crops and animals. By a vote of 3-1, Trinity County Supervisors elected to ban GE crops and animals in an effort to protect Trinity's local economy and environment.
Trinity County's decision reflects a growing movement across America to defend local agriculture, biodiversity and human health. Four other California counties will vote in December to ban genetically engineered crops in their county, while dozens of counties across the country are advancing "GE Free" Zones.

Analysis of why a vote for Nader is a wasted vote.
"The international free market was created artificially in the 18th and 19th centuries with the force of the English colonial state and did not develop naturally from the free exchange of goods as neoliberals constantly claim.. Accor-ding to Polanyi, free trade originally meant piracy.."
Voting is meant to be a judgement and a command, not a plea, not a wish, not a pledge, not a bribe, not a cajole, not an entreaty, not even a deal or a contract, but a JUDGEMENT AND COMMAND. ABB is nothing less than a complete abdication of the ultimate sovereign power of the People, hence a complete renunciation of democracy.

'Before this new "Pico cell," it was nigh on impossible to make a call from a passenger aircraft in flight. Connection is impossible at altitudes over 8000 feet or speeds in excess of 230 mph.' --- So, anything the corporate media or the Bush regime invented about 9-11 cell phone calls is a lie. And they know it. --- So, for the archive:
WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Sen. Mark Dayton, D-Minn., charged Friday that the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) have covered up "catastrophic failures" that left the nation vulnerable during the Sept. 11 hijackings.--- During the hearing, Dayton told leaders of the Sept. 11 commission, that, based on the commission's report, a NORAD chronology made public a week after the attacks was grossly misleading. --- He told Kean and Hamilton that if the commission's report is correct, President Bush "should fire whoever at FAA, at NORAD ... betrayed their public trust by not telling us the truth." --- And, he said, a squadron of NORAD fighter planes that was scrambled was sent east over the Atlantic Ocean and was 150 miles from Washington, D.C., when the third plane struck the Pentagon -- "farther than they were before they took off." --- "For almost three years now, NORAD officials and FAA officials have been able to hide their critical failures that left this country defenseless during two of the worst hours in our history," Dayton declared during a Senate Governmental Affairs Committee hearing...
I just heard Jim Hightower speak. He made me realize why I am grateful for Bush.
Always partial to monopolies, the Democrats think they should hold the exclusive concession on any electoral challenge to Bush and the Republicans. The Nader campaign prompts them to hysterical tirades. Republicans are more relaxed. Ross Perot and his Reform Party actually cost George Bush Sr. his reelection in 1992, yet Perot never drew a tenth of the abuse for his presumption that Nader does now.

Press Release from Cobb / LaMarche campaign
Ever play a strategy game like chess or backgammon? Novices playing these games often attack just for the sake of attacking. Good players on the other hand understand the goal isn't hitting, the goal is winning.

The impulse to control the press hardly originated with George W. Bush, but his administration has been less inclined than any in memory to echo Thomas Jefferson's famous declaration: "The basis of our government being the opinion of the people, the very first object should be to keep that right; and were it left to me to decide whether we should have a government without newspapers or newspapers without government, I should not hesitate a moment to prefer the latter."
The potential for fraud and error is daunting. About 61 million of the votes in November, more than half the total, will be counted in the computers of one company, the privately held Election Systems and Software (ES&S) of Omaha, Nebraska. Altogether, nearly 100 million votes will be counted in computers provided and programmed by ES&S and three other private corporations: British-owned Sequoia Voting Systems of Oakland, California, whose touch-screen voting equipment was rejected as insecure against fraud by New York City in the 1990s; the Republican-identified company Diebold Election Systems of McKinney, Texas, whose machines malfunctioned this year in a California election; and Hart InterCivic of Austin, one of whose principal investors is Tom Hicks, who helped make George W. Bush a millionaire.

David Cobb and Patricia LaMarche are working hard to attract voters and build the party. This is a brief recap of their July travels.
The DNC2RNC March is a 258 Mile Movement from The Boston Common to Madison Square Garden; stopping, rallying, and spreading resistance the entire way. The March left from the Common the day after the DNC ended, on July 30th. Nearly 90 people rallied at 9am, ate breakfast provided by Seeds of Peace, and held a circle chant where we all met each other by saying our names and having the group repeat it. At around ten in the morning the march was off. The police escorted and the first day had little tension.

"When the government gives warnings without more information about why they're giving them ... that inevitably leads to people questioning whether the timing is a diversion, or politically motivated." Randall Yim, the head of GAO's homeland security division, told Reuters.
SANTA MONICA, Calif., Aug. 1 - To Ralph Nader, the Democratic convention in Boston was a hollow charade that made Senator John Kerry, the Democratic presidential nominee, seem more like President Bush than ever. He said it gave him no reason to drop out of the race, even if he costs Mr. Kerry the election in November, as many believe he cost Al Gore in 2000.
Demolies about Iraq.
"During the Vietnam War, many young men, including the current President, the Vice President and me, could have gone to Vietnam and didn't. John Kerry came from a privileged background. He could have avoided going, too. But instead he said, 'Send me.'
Under Homeland Security the police records of all Americans have been consolidated leading to arrests of people at airports for outstanding arest warrants many never knew were outstanding.
