Just read on KATU website that a man set himself on fire in front of Ungar furs downtown while yelling "animals are dying" today.
Oregon headed in the right direction? I sure hope so.
Elite democracy with its corruption of wealth distribution, language and community is not the last word. Humpty Dumpty is not the last word on enlightenment: "Words are what I say they mean." Access could replace excess. The future could be a human future of a social contract, not a war of wolves against each other.
The Animal rights movement figured out that if they attack individuals rather then ideas they can scare them in to doing what they want, but the rest of the left will never use these tactics because they go against the dead ideals of the 1960s civil rights movement.
Some important flaws in the ideology of animal rights bear attention, with a view towards better serving the long range goals and principles that people who espouse this ideology presumably can agree on with others: more humane, ethical, and ecologically sound human behavior towards other animal and plant species.
WE get together at Muddy Waters Coffee House on Belmont around 6:30 7, they got three folk bands and usually a costumed band girlfriend or other interesting humanoid posing very still. We all draw, listen to live music and drink way too much coffee and beer.

What is Torture? It can be physical or physchological, quick or unhurried. It implies lasting trauma unbefitting a human. The U.N. defines torture as:
" ...any act by which severe pain or suffering, physical or mental, is intentionally inflicted on a person for such purposes as obtaining from him, or a third person, information or a confession... " (U.N. Convention Against Torture). By this definition the U.S. continues to practice torture. Yes, Obama outlawed some especially shocking forms of torture — water boarding, for example — but other types of torture were not labeled "torture" and thus continue.

The US Supreme Court has let loose the corporate treasuries on the political process in the United States. Never has it been more clear that continuing to win our political, environmental and economic battles one at a time will not work and that new approaches are needed.

Over a period of eight months, I wrote about my experiences: the people I met, the lessons they taught me, and the personal struggles I faced while making this documentary. The following clip is a personal narrative read from the diary I kept while filming in Portland, Oregon.

Concepts must be developed against the global demand-deficit. Repairing the financial system is not enough. The economic-political prescriptions of the past - flexible wages and restricted social benefits - would worsen the situation.
Once again, Portland Indy Media gets it correct and gets it first. Too bad The Oregonian can't seem to get anything accurate these days.

The Democrats look around, blindly, after losing their long-held Senate seat in Massachusetts, and with it their Senate super-majority. They wrongly blame the voters, or their "populist" opponent, but rarely themselves. The Democrats' claim to be "shocked," but this scenario is now too familiar in the U.S. two-party system — that corporate-owned game of political musical chairs.
Just when it seemed that the Democrats could finally "do something" — since they had a year of super-majority status in the Senate — a wrench was somehow thrown in the machinery.
Please vote on measure 66 & 67. It's too late to mail the ballots must be dropped off by tommorrow.

* The public pronouncement from the Editorial Collective of El Libertario in mid-January 2010 on the current situation in Venezuela.

Minister gets a pie square in the face.
It is not mere coincidence the word authority takes command from the word author, or a group of authors acting as a united force. Both words are coequal and stem from the idea that some form of egotistic persuasion has come to dominate or rule. This authoritarian reality is true irrespective of whether people put their faith in law, religion, articulated ideology, or any other form of persuasive power. Yet there is little doubt that the most effective form of authority, if believed, is that which speaks fore an endgame result of lasting spiritual finality—namely those clerics, that is how their personalities, claim to speak for an ultimate power of religion, and the ego-will of God, Yahweh or Allah. What mere mortal can stand up to what Hobbes has described as the Leviathan or the iron-fisted state?
Whether or not you buy into the whole war on terrorism, it is being used to launch wars of aggression and further expand the American empire. It is also very much intertwined with the whole process of deep North American integration and plans for a continental security perimeter.
There have been murmurs of a writing workshop, led by Judith Arcana, happening at the Red and Black. Well, friends, speculate no longer!

Can fish feel pain? Are birds stupid? Is all animal behavior just instinct? Science has come a long way from the days when it was thought that only humans had emotions, could think, or were conscious. Join us on January 28 for a special presentation on the cognitive and emotional lives of animals....
"What happened to my post, you fucking assholes! You censored me! You've become the thing you said you were against! You're censors! I will never post here on this board again!"
Yep. It's that time again. Every now and then, we get a spate of nasty emails from people who don't seem to understand what Portland indymedia is all about, or how it works. When that happens, it's helpful to go over Portland IMC editorial policies, and remind everyone that you are talking to people who have given of their own time and resources to provide you and this community with this newswire. (No, not a board, not a blog, a newswire.) Rude, nasty, demanding diatribes reeking of a sense of entitlement to post whatever on earth you want to, are inappropriate. Here's why.
Rotary 5100 Oregon and Washington, continue funding an Australian in Thailand who removes Akha children from their families. They stated they had ceased funding, never addressed the issue of child removals and now openly continue funding.
The Rosehip Medic Collective will be offering a 20 hour street medic training on January 29-31 in Bellingham, WA, specifically geared towards the upcoming Olympics protests in Vancouver, BC
1 .- Earthquakes identical in depth and linearly on the same fault are caused by induced frequency linear projection.
2 .- A coordinated satellite configuration can generate concentrated frequency projections targeting specific points (force fields). 3. A diagram shows that earthquakes considered to be artificial propagate linearly at the same depth. -Venezuela, on January 8, 2010. Depth: 10 km. - Honduras, on 11 January 2010. Depth: 10 km. - Haiti, on 12 January 2010. Depth: 10 km. The rest of the aftershocks occurred at depths close to 10 km.
According to some politician in South Carolina people receiving food stamps are like stray dogs. You feed them, and they breed. He then attempted to clarify his remarks by saying that he was talking about welfare recipients in what he called 'the good times'. Why is it that when people respond to this matter, no one ever tells the simple truth?

This is two video clips taken from the monthly meeting of the Human Rights Commission on 1.6.10
Stewart Alexander is confident that Californians will be voting on the issue of same-sex marriage rights in November; however, Alexander says it is necessary to win the vote and to win the decision of the courts. With little or no money to finance a political campaign, Alexander is prepared to challenge a billionaire and the multi-millionaires in the California governor's race to defend same-sex marriage rights.
The January 12 earthquake in Haiti that devastated the capital city, leaving well over 100,000 dead and a million homeless, was one of the worst geological calamities of modern times. The earthquake was a natural disaster, but the horrendous death toll and monumental destruction were caused by capitalism and imperialism. Now the human suffering has been enormously compounded by to the militarization of the relief effort and reoccupation of Haiti by the United States. More than a dozen flights by aid groups, carrying rescue squads, tons of medical supplies and entire field hospitals, were refused permission to land at the Port-au-Prince airport by U.S. military air controllers who are now in charge. Food was already stocked in warehouses, but agencies refused to distribute it for fear of "riots." The media blitz is a propaganda war to embellish the image of U.S. imperialism. This phony humanitarianism are being used to disguise a new U.S. occupation of Haiti. We demand an end to the imperialist occupation, U.S./U.N. forces get out of Haiti and stop blocking entry of Haitian refugees.
PDX ADL will be bearing witness and protesting the Reed College chicken

EnergySolutions already has imported railcars filled with depleted uranium that they plan to bury at undisclosed locations in the Western Salt Lake desert. For extra time before burial, environmentalists are asking the UT Dept. of Environmental Quality to support new rules that would prevent DU burials in state until (unbiased) public health studies and further research into groundwater, hydrological and geological process near burial sites can be deemed "safe".
The memory, consequence, and disputed histories of the 1994 Rwanda Genocide, loom large in Rwanda's memory. Whether openly discussed or not, they will hugely influence the nation's 2010 national election.
When the major search engines directly assist the assassins of the fbi/cia in the censure of reports, however slight be the search engine's intel role, free speach is thwarted under the chilling effect that Google (et al) impose.
The Portland Animal Defense League was recently contacted about a teaching
event at Reed College this Sunday, the 24th. Apparently, several chickens will be slaughtered without any kind of oversight by students with absolutely no experience. The course will be taught by Gabriel Holt (  gabriel.holt@gmail.com). Please contact him to express concerns over this
abhorrent event. Let him know that Portland is a city of animal advocates, and that this kind brutality and ignorance will not be tolerated.
The evolution of the company union in the U.S. is a history of both labor's progress and its missteps. It is a story that, at bottom, speaks to the battle of workers to find an independent, powerful presence on the job — and to push this clout into the community to help shape the broader public realm.
Unions came into existence organically wherever capitalism developed. As soon as workers were brought together by a small number of employers and compelled to make profits for them, the employees naturally sought to defend themselves. A living wage and decent working conditions failed to emerge through the good will of the employers, unfortunately, so workers took matters into their own hands.
In 2008, the SEIU began approaching adult care home owners in Multnomah County, offering to unionize the proprietors of these businesses. As a worker in one of these homes, I couldn't believe they were serious. Turns out, they were. But... why? Do they completely fail to understand the workings of the ACH industry? Since WHEN does a union organize the business OWNERS, and not the workers? Since... now.
