Whoring reached new limits. Actually, the Crack Ho put the prostitute out of business in the hood. How can a nigguh pimp a two dollar Crack Ho? Those men familiar with the crack ritual no longer bothered dating square women. The Crack Ho made the "chase" unnecessary....Where do we go from here? Hopefully towards a revolution in morals and manners. As Sun Ra taught me, life is really about discipline rather than freedom

When a team of police, federal agents, and a drug-sniffing dog burst through the front door and scoured every corner of the house, the woman and her boyfriend figured they knew who had turned them in. So she struck back: In the shadowy realms of cyberspace, she publicly identified the informant who she suspected had ratted on her boyfriend, landing him in court on drug possession charges.

I am not usually one for petitions, but this has to do with Patrick Swineys case, he who did his job as a police officer a little too well. He busted some big time good ol' boys in Alabama for drugs way back when, and after they were released with a slap on the wrist they set him up for murder (His WIFE!) and he has been in prison ever since, subjected to torture, human experimentation, etc. His case was railroaded through the corrupt alabama courts and all kinds of evidence was denied. No further hearings allowed thus far. Any one internationally that can pass this on is especially appreciated, and lets please make an attempt to at least review this information with possible signing as goal. Thank You.

The Oregon legislature has an opportunity to lead the nation by passing S.B. 294, a bill which would allow Oregon farmers to grow industrial hemp. The article argues that since the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has declared the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency ban on industrial hemp illegal, then Oregon legislators should pass S.B. 294 so Oregon is in compliance with Federal court findings. Call your legislator today!

...recollected conversation between Jon Roland and Gary Webb about this very subject: the possibility of Webb's being "suicided", ***where Webb confirms that if he's found dead it would never be a suicide.*** --- In case you're wondering who Jon Roland is, he's a constitutional reporter; he's also the founder and webmaster at www.constitution.org. I called Jon to clarify the details around the revealing email he had sent out to various listserv groups, shortly after Webb's death. When I spoke with Mr. Roland, I asked him approximately when he had this conversation with Webb. Jon said, "after the Mercury articles were written, and Gary had been living in Sacramento 3 or 4 months." Jon also reiterated that Gary had a cache of evidence, left over from his writings that had never been published, which made him concerned for Gary's life. --- To summarize: allegations are made that Webb was working on a new book exposing the hidden Jewish element that is the controlling factor behind drug trafficking in South America. Apparently, a huge drug war in South America is about to erupt. It's characterized as a massive power grab against South American Jewish-drug-lords. The prize is control over the illicit $50 billion cocaine and marijuana market. --- Where the hell are Gary's papers and research documents, evidence, etc.? I've heard nothing about them from the mainstream stenographers - have you? --- The ***DEA raided the office of the literary agent who was helping Gary get a book contract.*** Shortly before we met, one of Gary's associates had been run off the road by a military vehicle in Nicaragua. So now we have even more testimony that Gary was aware of the possibility of being "suicided", and that he was concerned not just for himself, but also for his sources. --- I think Gary was smart enough to have stashed a copy or copies of his manuscript somewhere safe.

Al Martin, one of America's foremost government whistleblowers and a retired Navy Lt. Commander, claims that Porter Goss, the Bush-Cheney choice to be DCI (CIA Director), was active in covering up the CIA's Iran-Contra era narcotics trafficking in Florida, while he was a member of the Vice Presidential Task Force on Drugs in Miami in 1983 then headed by George Bush Sr.

VIDEO is worth it to see Senator Kerry pop up suddenly on the screen and say something like "definitely the CIA is running drugs. Definitely." VIDEO is additionally worth it to see Michael Ruppert stating confirmations of Webb's claims, as he directly challenges potential CIA director Deutch in public based on Ruppert's backup-knowledge as an ex-LAPD narcotics detective that the CIA was running drugs. RUPPERT IS IMMEDIATELY DROWNED OUT AS THE WHOLE AUDIENCE STARTS CHEERING AND APPLAUDING RUPPERT. DEUTCH LOOKS TERRIFIED, AS HIS FAKE P.R. "L.A. TOWN MEETING WITH THE CIA" BECOMES AN ACTUAL UNSCRIPTED TOWN MEETING AS THE UGLY TRUTHS ABOUT THE CIA ARE REVEALED.

Video is a nice little overview of the whole CIA drug running operation into the United States--talking about Webb's articles, CIA statements, spin attempts, the Contras, the crack cocaine epidemic in Los Angeles (which led to Ruppert being pushed out because he had pinned it on the CIA as well). And surreality abounds: this was done by corporate TV, reposted by the people's archivist Alex Jones.

PLUS, Webb was reporting death threats immediately before being "suicided". Gary described the men around his home as 'professionals' who jumped from his balcony and ran away when Gary confronted them.

If you look at the changes in the political economy of Afghanistan, you may conclude that this is neither a "war on terror" that Washington says it is nor a pipeline war as some of its critics allege. It looks as if it is the latest Opium War, regardless of intentions of all parties (Afghans, Americans, Europeans, and others) involved.

As I detailed in my last report, The International Caravan for Justice in Juarez and Chihuahua City reached Juarez on October 31, 2004 to demand justice in the cases of hundreds of murdered young women. This group of activists, teachers, students, researchers, and journalists from around the U.S. and Mexico had finally reached its destination, and we then had 5 days of activities and meetings to attend. It's hard to tell what lasting results would come from these efforts, but there are signs that some positive steps forward may finally be at hand.

Un reportero gráfico de indymedia Portland acompañó, en la etapa de la costa Oeste, a la Caravana Internacional por la Justícia en Juárez y Ciudad Chihuahua. El 31 de octubre la caravana marchó a través de la frontera entre El Paso, EE.UU. y Juárez, Méjico para pedir justícia en los casos de aproximadamente 400 mujeres asesinadas, casos que se han tratado con negligencia y no han sido suficientemente investigados por las autoridades mejicanas. Esta es la segunda parte en una serie de informes sobre la Caravana, que ha visitado docenas de ciudades en los EE.UU. y Canadá y pasó 6 días en Méjico reuniéndose con autoridades y las famílias de las mujeres asesinadas. Las 5 etapas de la Caravana Internacional por la Justícia en Juárez y Chihuahua llegó a Las Cruces, Nuevo Méjico, a cerca de una hora de la frontera, el viernes, 30 de octubre. Hay varios grupos no gubernamentales implicados en que se aborde el problema de los cientos de mujeres asesinadas en Juárez y Chihuahua, a ambos lados de la frontera, en Las Cruces, Nuevo Méjico; El Paso, Tejas; y en Juárez y Chihuahua. Las Amigas de las Mujeres de Juárez fueron nuestras anfitrionas en Las Cruces aquella noche. La mañana siguiente nos unimos a miembros de Justícia Para Nuestras Hijas, Nuestras Hijas Regresan a Casa, CETLAC (una organización laboral de Juárez), y muchos otros activistas, junto con otros miembros de la delegación de Juárez que acababan de llegar en avión a El Paso el viernes. Desayunamos todos en el YWCA El Paso y entonces nos dirigimos a uno de los varios puentes que cruzan el Río Grande y la frontera.

A Portland indymedia videographer accompanied the West Coast leg of the International Caravan for Justice in Juarez and Chihuahua City. On October 31 the Caravan marched across the border between El Paso, USA and Juarez, Mexico to demand justice in the cases of approximately 400 murdered women, cases neglected and mis-investigated by Mexican authorities. This is part 2 in a series of reports about the Caravan, which visited dozens of cities in the US and Canada and spent 6 days in Mexico meeting with authorities and the family members of the dead.
