Chani has received her orders to report to the Dublin, CA federal prison on Tuesday, September 10. For those not familiar with her situation, she was arrested last fall at Fort Benning, Georgia, while taking part in a non-violent protest against the U.S Army's School of Americas. She was found guilty and sentenced to six months in jail.
if anyone has any photos of the incident involving pepper spray around 21st and burnside, would you please post them.It is very important that those photos be posted.
also if anyone (and i think everyone should be) interested in filing a class action suite please respond to this post.
summary of laws on the books in portland, concerning bikes, from copwatch.
Activists to demonstrate against the sale of ancient forest at the Moose Matrix timber sale auction in Sweet Home, Oregon. Come and join us!
got a ticket on your bike? hope you dont have a car (and pay insurance).
Who are the serial hecklers, and why are they here?
....
PDX-JTTF appeals nationally for renewal, so it can violate the civil liberties of non-greedy, ethical americans
"We, South Africans who have lived through apartheid, cannot be silent as another entire people are treated as non-human beings; people without rights or human dignity and facing daily humiliation. We cannot permit a ruthless state to use military jets, helicopter gun-ships
and tanks on civilians. We cannot accept state assassinations of activists, the torture of political prisoners, the murder of children and collective punishment."
why did my post disappear? well here it is again
The earth summit was last night breaking up in bitter disagreements as governments and business declared the largest meeting ever convened a resounding success, while charities lined up to declare it the "worst political sellout that the world has seen in decades".
Can homeless people vote? Can people who have been in prison vote? How many days before an election can you sign up to vote? How easy is it to get thrown off the voter rolls in Oregon? How about people who don't read English, can they vote? Any changes to the law coming up?
Activists are once again successfully stopping the logging of native forest at the Borg Timber Sale. After two activists were arrested at a road blockade
successfully delaying logging this morning, CFA forest defenders announced the presence of a new tree sit in the Borg sale.
I only vote when there is someone worth voting for. Having a representative on the City Council who is progressive and reachable...is more important that ever..consider the recent police violence toward peaceful protestors. I attended several candidate forums for the open city council position. Christian Gunther was the only candidate who seems to get IT.
Pat Robertson and the Christian Coalition are leading the battle cry and the Republican controlled House of Representatives have heard the call! The "Houses of Worship Political Speech Protection Act," H.R. 2357, would radically alter the tax code by allowing houses of worship to endorse political candidates, lobby for legislation, create political action committees (PACs) and funnel political donations to partisan political causes and candidates.
There are two upcoming elections that will affect Oregon sustainable community in profound ways. The first election on September 17th will ask us to fund schools and choose a Portland City Councilperson. The Second election on November 5th will ask us to pass progressive, revoluntionary measures and choose a State Sentator (among other things).

Urgent! Go out to support the activist who has locked down to block an active logging site. Call Congress and say NO to the Salvage Rider.
The road going into the Borg Timber sale is blocked.
There has been alot of talk in America since 9/11 about "Why are we so hated?" Most of the answers to this question predictably have been self-serving America lies about how "they hate our Freedom." Here is a more revealing answer to why America is hated from the www.stopamerica.org.

Click on this thread to see what clueless NYC urbanites are saying about the ELF.
This from the venerable USA Today. Might this be a hopeful sign, or just a rare piece of truth in a sea of propoganda?
Very bad news for the spread of HIV and violation of rights
What's next...Yahoo? Scary stuff.
Very disturbing news. Not in my name will you tax me. This money would be wasted anyways.
September volunteer meeting announcement.
Pay careful attention to the events of the next few weeks.
Tricky Dick Cheney is caught in another lie concerning his allegations about Iraq and the weapons of mass destruction lie. The following anecdote, excerpted from the following article is most revealing about the credibility of both Tricky Dick and American War propaganda in general...
URGENT Looking for PDX Dragon who took the Critical Mass arrest photos
Willamette Valley Power represents ENRON Creditors!
Bush talks about the Axis of evil, but he's involved Axis of oil. US Presidency continues to be amazing bargain for Exxon.
The following articles (8/29 and 8/31) quote a USFS LEO and a former P-L flack linking Montana and other forest defenders with "terrorism" and claiming that ELF members are active in efforts to protect Rockies forests. On 9/1, the unverifiable "pacific ELF" post threatening "we will no longer hesitate to pick up the gun" appears. Oddly enough, the 9/1 post claiming responsibility for a fire in Pennsylvania appears just before another anonymous post purports to place a well-known Pacific Coast forest activist in the area. Cui bono?
Author and alternative Radio producer/host David Barsamian sees the corporate-dominated media as a major cause for America's disturbing attitudes. Through self-censorship and blatant self-interest, our so called free press has become an accomplice in keeping the truth from the American people, serving as cheerleaders to the Bush agenda.
This presumed fire in NorthEast Pennsylvania in early Aug could have been caused by nature (=lighting) or by a member of ELF that is not Tre Arrow or by someone else. I don't even know if Tre knows anybody in ELF. I do know that the FBI knows that he was in PA at that time.
nnnn
Call Senator Wyden's office today and let him know that you oppose Senator Craig's new Logging Rider. This is a sham,
and a flash back to the highly destructive Rider in 1995. Let him know that sidestepping public input and loosening environmental ragulations is NOT acceptable, and will not be tolerated. They are voting on this tomorrow, and Wyden is one of the swing votes, we need to let him know what we think. (202)224-5244.
The United States will launch its attack on Iraq by November 30, according to Israeli military sources, quoted in the Israeli newspaper Maariv. A U.S. military delegation revealed the plans in briefings with Israeli and Jordanian military officers. Click the link below to read the entire article on a very thought provoking website.
Are the unconstitutional changes in our government that are destroying our republic new in origin, or are they a planned and plotted take over that has been going on for almost 200 years? Yes there is a plan for world domination! Yes there is a plan to take control of America. It is one that is so blatant, it is even stated on the back of our one-dollar bill. "Annuit Coeptis NOVUS ORODO SECLORUM." Announcing the birth of the NEW WORLD ORDER! Shades of George Herbert Walker Bush!
not for sheep
Tuesday, September 3, 12 Noon Sharp (we will probably head out by 12:15)
For, in fact, we find ourselves
in prisons and also find we are our own jailers-- ans somehow, we can't escape.
A good read.
"They use our fear to keep us silent. It's time to speak up and listen to each other."

stories and photos posted to portland indymedia about the A30 Critical Mass Police Riot
Several people have contacted us about lingering effects or especially strong reactions after having been pepper sprayed at the A22 Bush demo or the Critical Mass on 8/30. This leads us to believe that there are probably more people out there with similar problems.
As of March 2002, the team was researching a mix of pepper spray ("OC") and an unidentified calmative agent. Pepper spray is the most powerful chemical crowd control agent in use, and has been associated with numerous deaths. Adding a pharmacological "calmative" to OC would create a hideous concoction. The report prioritizes Valium and Precedex (dexmeditomidine) for weaponization, and it is possible that these are the agents that could be mixed with OC.
RUMOR that reserves in Western States being called up to break Longshoreman's strike and lock out in Seattle, Oakland, Long Beach and San Diego.
A year ago I switched from Working Assets Long Distance (WALD) because it became apparent that their charges were considerably more than other long distance services. Over the past year, I spent $1,348.13 LESS on long distance than I did over the previous year with WALD. The Working Assets charges were more than three times that of discount long distance services (GTC + bigzoo.com).

The following was written by political economist Raymond Lotta -- as part of a longer analysis of "Socialist Planning vs. Market Socialism." It was posted as part of the debate over revolutionary strategy in the General Discussion forum of http://2changetheworld.info

People often ask what the so-called "anti-globalization" movement is actually or. The usual response is that we're for a lot of things, ranging from ecological sustainability to racial equality; but if there's one theme at the very center of the movement, which really sets it apart from social movements that have come before, it's its dedication to direct democracy.
