PUBLIC MEETING
Thursday, September 24th. 7pm at Portland State University, Smith Center, Room 236
The venom and vile the spews forth from America's body politic is endemic of a people infected with fear and prejudice; but this learned hatred of a democratic agenda is not one based primarily on racism—yet hostility and resentment is very much its spirit. Rather this anima of animosity is one that seeks scapegoats for any instability felt or imagined of America's middle and lower class realities, and all presumptions of a relatively naïve and misinformed society.
Hey folks, we're running low on operating funds and we are doing a few upcoming events to help us raise some money! We're holding a vegan bake sale at last Thursday on Alberta street this week.
Observations from the September 19th plant sale at the Expo Center. It was hosted by the Hardy Plant Society of Oregon. The next sale will be in April 2010.
I am a victim of stalking and electronic harassment in KY. I have been gathering evidence as I go along but cannot believe how much this is actually tolerated, and how many victims there really are worldwide. There isn't any reason for these attacks on my life- I am a 40-year old engaged hard-working American woman, working on plans for my future. My mother is of Pennsylvania Deutsch descent; my father is a Vietnam Veteran. I have managed to make a good living for myself, but with these attacks becoming more and more frequent (especially since I had made a decision to work more alone rather than in a group environment a little over 2 years ago), I am extremely careful and proceed with caution with everything in my life as a result of this targeting. Dealing with my own posttraumatic stress issues from a previous issue - this is extremely painful for me to accept as reality. The worst thing that you can do is to open yourself up to getting yourself in harms way on purpose. My guess is that it could become something that you may not ever be able to get out of.
Interesting! I wonder if Obama acknowledges connection between '60's "mass protests" & his being president. I wonder how Gandhi & King would react to this interview, & how my hero, Bishop Tutu, would respond. Well, i'll be in Pittsburgh, because i DO advocate mass protest!
The economic crisis was well planned out for the rainy day "catch". Big Banks sat around hundreds of round tables discussing for years how to reel in the biggest dollars, real estate and profits. Those profits are a result of interest rates, reselling real estate, government funded corporate injections, forced insurance, and many other well sold programs.
On Oct. 2 and 3, 2009, anti-imperialist, anti-war activist Noam Chomsky is speaking in person at the Econvergence Conference at the downtown Unitarian Church, along with 90 workshops, and additional speakers Derek Jensen, Diane Rosenbaum, Ashlee Albies, Craig Rosebraugh, Barbara Garson, among others. An antiwar protest at Pioneer Square (Afghanistan) is set before Chomsky's talk Friday night.
It would serve the public interest best if the John Day Basin Resource Management Plan and Environmental Impact Statement was rendered not worthy of further consideration and set aside in the same way as its nasty sister, the Western Oregon Plan Revisions.
As designated managers of our precious public lands the Bureau Of Land Management has a responsibility to provide the public with the highest quality of service possible. That is certainly not happening here.
A three-month old baby in Louisiana died in her home from blood loss due to rat bites. There were holes in the walls and holes in the floor. Evidently, the landlord spent FEMA money earmarked to repair the house on something else, but the authorities were still trying to determine if they should file criminal charges against the parents!
You are hearing it first here on Portland Indymedia because the corporate media has yet to report that thousands of fish have washed up on the shore in Seaside OR today. The cause is unknown at the moment. Hopefully we will find out more soon.....
City of Roses, Cascadia - 19 Sept. 2009 - This morning, shortly after 10am, 'Farmer K' of Sunroot Gardens, an urban survival gardening enterprise, pranked Manifest, a men's wellness group.
'Farmer K' opened the class by handing out cell number and email address, so that everyone could make contact on their own time, at some later date -- not that day -- for reasons that would shortly become obvious. "My knowledge about cover cropping comes partly from books and talking to other farmers, but mostly from my own experiences and observations," claimed 'Farmer K'. "I am delighted to share everything I can, but I have nothing to sell." 'Farmer K' then noted that the fact that the day's class was not free-of-$-charge was not made known until the issuing of Manifest's email announcement thereof, to which 'Farmer K' was cc'd....
See speakers, eat yummy veg food, hear music and enjoy a fun packed day at the Oregon Convention Center.
Mutadhar al-Zaidi, the Iraqi who threw his shoe at George Bush gave this speech on his recent release.
"I was being tortured [by Americans] with the most horrific methods: electric shocks, getting hit with cables, getting hit with metal rods, and all this in the backyard of the place where the press conference was held. And the conference was still going on and I could hear the voices of the people in it. And maybe they, too, could hear my screams and moans. In the morning, I was left in the cold of winter, tied up after they soaked me in water at dawn. ... I will speak later, giving names of the people who were involved in torturing me, and some of them were high-ranking officials in the government and in the army."
David Corn has long been known to have other agendas in his writings for The Nation, Mother Jones and other 'leftist' publications.
In a September 7 piece for Mother Jones though, he specifically blames the recent canning of Van Jones - candidate for Obama's 'green jobs' advisor position - by right wing echo chamber media shills as SOLELY the responsibility of the 9/11 Truth movement (due to Van Jones' having signed a single 9/11 petition years ago).

New York - In a last minute decision, lawyers for the City of New York have conceded that the New York City Coalition for Accountability Now (NYC CAN), a group comprising 9/11 family members, first responders and survivors, indeed did submit over 30,000 valid signatures to put the referendum for a new 9/11 investigation before the voters of New York City this November.

Michael Moore's movie, "Capitalism, a Love Story" will be a shocking revelation to the millions of Americans who believe in capitalism; however, socialists will understand that "Capitalism, a Love Story" does not reveal the ultimate danger and damage that capitalism is wreaking on the working class and world economies on a global scale.
The freedom of the Internet is inviolable. The Internet's open architecture constitutes the basic IT law of a society which communicates digitally and, consequently, of journalism. The web constitutes an infrastructure for social exchange superior to that of 20th century mass media.
Former FBI translator Sibel Edmonds dropped a bombshell on the Mike Malloy radio show, guest-hosted by Brad Friedman (audio, partial transcript).
In the interview, Sibel says that the US maintained 'intimate relations' with Bin Laden, and the Taliban, "all the way until that day of September 11." These 'intimate relations' included using Bin Laden for 'operations' in Central Asia, including Xinjiang, China. These 'operations' involved using al Qaeda and the Taliban in the same manner "as we did during the Afghan and Soviet conflict," that is, fighting 'enemies' via proxies. As Sibel has previously described, and as she reiterates in this latest interview, this process involved using Turkey (with assistance from 'actors from Pakistan, and Afghanistan and Saudi Arabia') as a proxy, which in turn used Bin Laden and the Taliban and others as a proxy terrorist army.
The U.S. State Department has just wrapped up a deal with Colombia's President Uribe that will lead to a massive buildup of U.S. military personnel across seven bases in Colombia. Currently, there are a reported 250 U.S. military operatives in this nation. With the new agreement, this number will jump up to 800 American troops and 600 civilian military contractors. This is the maximum number allowed under previous agreements. Even with this limit, however, many expect the U.S. military buildup to exceed these numbers.
U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said of the agreement, "This is about bilateral cooperation between the U.S. and Colombia." She included references to "drug traffickers, terrorists, and other illegal armed groups." The President of Colombia's neighbor, Venezuela's Hugo Chavez, had a very different interpretation of the agreement. He characterized it has a "threat to Venezuela that could generate a war in South America."

If you find an electrocuted rat in your kitchen stove, odds are that your landlord has breached the implied warranty of habitability in your lease. What if he won't fix the problem? What can you do?

Wells Fargo clearly lacks proper internal controls to prevent abuse of foreclosed properties. Firing Guyton is not enough. A full investigation must be conducted, and the results duly reported to Wells Fargo's shareholders-the taxpayers!
Populoation sectors open initially to the western invasion are turning today to the Taliban. The Karsai government is hated as never before on account of its ocrruption, cronyism and the brutality of warlords supporting the government..NATO troops have long been part of the problem, not part of the solution. The rebels are stronger today than ever since 2001.
