"Disastrous consequences of enforcing neoliberal principles are clear in many country reports. The division of society into a minority that shamelessly enriches itself with the best conscience and a minority sinking into ever deeper misery is an inevitable consequence of deregulation and privatization." This article translated from the German focuses on the neoliberal model of Chile under Pinochet and the obsequiousness of Latin American intellectuals.
What happened on Tuesday? A popular president, a Democratic Party without a message, and a continuing resurgence of Republicans in rural states turned what was supposed to be an even election into a significant Republican win.
These ideological debates about voting depend on the false conflation of all voting under the same umbrella of illegitimacy. I think an appropriate analysis of the complexities of this issue shows that there are occasions where it is right to vote and ones where it is not. This article does not consitute a full analysis, just some preliminary thoughts designed to contribute to the debate and spark consideration.
Paul Wellstone was too much of a squeaky wheel in the well-greased Imperial War Machine that Bu$h & Co. desire their Congress to be.
There was PLENTY of motive here.
This report from the LA Times details the Pentagon's development of a new Covert Operations unit. Unaccountable and answering to no elected body, these "Black Ops" units will be controlled only by the Pentagon and Defense Department of Warlord Don Rumsfeld and constitute what is in effect America's version of the NAZI SS. Disguised behind the rhetoric of "fighting terrorism" this Pentagon SS in essence institutionalize the type of terrorist activities that American Covert OPerations have always engaged in--from the infamous Operation Phoenix during the Vietnam War to the drug dealing and Death Squads of Iran-Contra.
But the level of involvement in the Wellstone race is remarkable. Coleman dropped a planned gubernatorial bid after two White House pressure sessions with Bush. And now that Coleman is leaning toward a Senate race, Bush, Cheney and Rove are pulling out all the stops to make sure they are in charge of the anti-Wellstone effort.
Coincidence?

People often ask what the so-called "anti-globalization" movement is actually for. 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.

Since I am soon to be resident of Oregon (Yachats), I would appreciate some constructive comments on what St. Clair in his poorly edited article has to say since forest issues are not my main area of expertise (the history of the US Empire and the Global Social Justice Movement absorb most of my energies, although I admit that forest issues are connected with both), and there appears to be lots to comment on.
A chickenhawk is a term often applied to public persons - generally male - who (1) tend to advocate, or are fervent supporters of those who advocate, military solutions to political problems, and who have personally (2) declined to take advantage of a significant opportunity to serve in uniform during wartime.

"[T]he Bush administration has delivered a powerful new tool: authorization to use nearly $1.7 billion in U.S. military aid directly against the rebels."
Four federal marshalls and a few MPD officers came at a little before 9:00 this morning, August 7. They came to the door with shotguns drawn. The marshals presented eviction papers, asked for residents' identification and photographed the residents, including some rudely awakened and still in their pajamas.

In light of recent Bush administration efforts to expand the domestic role of the military, "Declassified Radio" is re-releasing the transcript of a past program on the military's growing influence on domestic policing.
This program, initially released in October of 2001, includes material from a September 25, 2001 symposium on militarized policing held at Judson Church in New York City. Speakers included Paul Richmond of the National Lawyer's Guild, "Covert Action Quarterly" writer Frank Morales, and Sam Smith, editor of the "Progressive Review".
Not only do we need to tell them to vote NO on FAST TRACK, we need to tell them to make sure to stick around for the vot. There is a chance the vote could happen after representatives start leaving for August recess. This one is gonna be close--every vote counts.

And just think folks, if you lose your job to trade you can write it off on your taxes, now isn't that nice!! Then what? The unemployment line...fucking democrats and republicans are trading our lives away!! Call your reps and tell them 'No' on fast track!
Imperialism is expensive. If a number of US states were to secede, America's imperialist adventure would suddenly be cash strapped. The following is written to environmental, Libertarian Party, populist, pro-marijuana, and log cabin republicans in Nevada. Anarchists should also support secession in their states (as a short term goal), to remove a major barrier to 3rd world revolution.

Between Colombian coca eradication cutbacks, the halt to Peru's coca eradication program, the unstable tenure of Venezuela's Hugo Chavez and suspicions of US involvement in his attempted ouster, and the rise of a Bolivian indigenous socialist former coca farmer who rails against "Yankee imperialism," the Bush administration's Andean policy is in a shambles.
I went to hear Chris Plummer and Bo Brown speak on Saturday at Liberty Hall - a forum on political prisoners, state repression and the necessity of revolutionary resistance to patriarchy, capitalism and the state. It rocked. Here's the report.
The Senate is poised to pass legislation that would give federal prosecutors new powers to shut down hemp festivals, marijuana rallies and other events and punish business owners and activists for hosting or promoting them. The proposed law would also potentially subject people to enormous federal sentences if some of their guests smoked marijuana at their party or barbecue. It would also effectively make it a federal crime to rent property to medical marijuana patients and their caregivers.

Bush Daddy Dunces: You can teach a dunce, but you can't teach him much! Severe blockage for this one. Must be good stuff!
COLOMBIAN ECONOMIST AND ACTIVIST demystifies his country: theft and destruction of lands and lives of indigenous people and peasants; forced migrations; a phony drug war to provide cover for US intervention; US bases for launching war against Hugo Chavez, popular president of Venezuela whom the US failed to overthrow in April. And Death Squads for union members and supporters like Mondragon. WHY? Occidental Petroleum and Harken Energy are two reasons. 10 min.

Nearly 800 people so far have signed a Pledge of Resistance to participate in civil disobedience actions in the case of federal arrests or harassment of medical marijuana patients, caregivers, or dispensaries. To prepare for both the June 6 National Day of Action and the Emergency Response in case of federal actions, trainings will be held in 8 [it's now up to 11 cities nationwide] cities on the west coast. These sessions will cover the ASA campaign, media work, organizing logistics, nonviolent direct action tactics, knowing your legal rights, and strategic planning. Please contact your local organizer to reserve a space!

Why does it seem that every time the Bush family and associates seem about to get caught red-handed in high crimes and treason, someone gets assassinated, a bomb blows off, an election gets overturned, or they hold the threat of further terror over our heads, as Cheney is doing now?
