The Pioneers of a Warless World are the Young Men (and Women) Who refuse military service. Albert Einstein. Possibly your interests blind you... Lincoln It is precisely that sense of internationalism that is needed now, to reclaim that high water mark of social activism and to turn away young folks from the mindless struggle for Empire. As capital is Globalized under the WTO and the IMF, the poor and working people, the majority of the people of this earth must be Globalized in Internationalism, and in defense of the many not the few. What is necessary for this to prevail. is the realization that this mad war in Iraq is in reality, a war against the future generation here. A war against education. A war against decent health care. A war against decent housing. And a war against good jobs which pay living wages. good information here. I like the intro and how the Media Controls the information and how bias they are.

The War on Democracy, For "the land of the free" we certainly have a lot of censorship. "The point of public relations slogans like "Support our troops" is that they don't mean anything... That's the whole point of good propaganda. You want to create a slogan that nobody's going to be against, and everybody's going to be for. Nobody knows what it means, because it doesn't mean anything. Its crucial value is that it diverts your attention from a question that does mean something: Do you support our policy? That's the one you're not allowed to talk about." Noam Chomsky "The twentieth century has been characterized by three developments of great political importance: the growth of democracy, the growth of corporate power, and the growth of corporate propaganda as a means of protecting corporate power against democracy." Alex Carey http://www.zmag.org/weluser.htm

The graduates of the SOA have proven relentless fighters to be sure; who are masters of the dark arts of torture, cruel interrogations, rape and mass murder. And who do they fight but their own people. To millions of people in Latin America the school is known by the popular name "La Escuela de Golpes"---the school of coups. There is scarcely an infamous massacre that can not be traced to its graduates. The Uraba massacre in Columbia. The El Mozote massacre, the rape and murders of four U.S. church women and the Jesuit massacres in El Salvador, the La Cantura massacre in Peru, and hundreds more. When the U.S. brays about a war on terrorism, there are millions in America to the south who snort in derision for they know another America which breeds state terrorism. While it takes a very narrow view, it does tell some hard truths. But to counter the typical leftist claims, the so called "war on terror" is about a lot more than oil. This way of over Simplifying is just as wrong as saying it all about Freedom and democracy… true true true.

But the Bush regime has used that fear, that anxiety, that sense of being under attack to stoke the fires of war and now the US is involved in building and protecting a colony in the heart of the Middle East. That's why. It isn't enough to simply say "bring the troops home" as some have said. For to do so only means bring them home today and unleash them on some other unsuspecting people tomorrow. That is the recipe for postponing war, not ending it. War is indeed big business, but it more than that. It is a social tool by which governments have always mobilized larger social forces for their political ends. The ends of government- what has this always been? Power Why do you think the Bushites have unleashed the somber Ashcroft upon the American people- a man who lost a senate election to a dead man is now the ultimate arbiter of who may exercise civil rights in this new era? one of my favorites...

The presidential elections are over, but the real battle over Mexico's future is being fought outside of electoral politics. Two powerful figures have launched other kinds of political campaigns here. The multibillionaire Carlos Slim and the guerrilla leader Subcomandante Marcos are facing off in the struggle between the Mexico above and the Mexico below. Carlos Slim is the richest man in Latin America and third richest man in the world. He made most of his fortune off of the controversial privatization of the national telephone monopoly, TELMEX. Slim has used his profits from TELMEX to build a massive economic empire that stretches across Latin America and into the US and Canada. DENISE DRESSER: We have witnessed a massive transfer of wealth from the citizens of this country into his coffers. It's frequently said that Mexicans could not carry out an economic transaction on a daily basis without encountering one tentacle or other of Carlos Slim's multifaceted empire. The Zapatistas have fought off the Mexican military for 12 years and have built an independent territory outside of government control. Marcos and the Zapatistas have become the inspiration for left-wing movements across Mexico.

The pioneers of a warless world are the young men (and women) who refuse military service. Albert Einstein. "There is one powerful reason why the judicial system should not permit the execution of Mumia Abu-Jamal. The evidence is now overwhelming that there have been deadly errors made in sending prisoners to the death chamber. Again and again, it has turned out that prisoners pronounced guilty and sentenced to death have proved later to be innocent. In the case of Mumia Abu-Jamal, the evidence is conflicting, and there is certainly more than a reasonable doubt of his guilt. The history of executions in this country shows the system biased against poor people, people of color, and political activists. Mumia Abu-Jamal fits all three categories. To allow Mumia Abu-Jamal to die at the hands of the judicial system would be a terrible commentary on a system that claims to dispense "equal justice before the law." The whole world is watching to see if our country will live up to that claim." This is truly a Great job you've done here on spreading many of Mumia's cause's. I to have taken it upon myself in spreading this man's work to break any and all ill conceived ideas of who he is and what stands for. Another Masterpiece. Well done!

Fascism. The very word evokes dark, menacing images of troops, marching in lockstep, in support of a terrible, malevolent ideology. In a word, it suggests the followers of Mussolini in Italy, or Hitler in Germany. To most of us, its very mention suggests its foreign nature; its Otherness. Therein lies its danger. For, because it is seen as a foreign ideology, the inevitable idea arises: "It can't happen here." Those who say this, either don't know, or don't want to know, American history. They prefer the safe myths, to the ugly truths of how this country came to be what it is. What is fascism? In short, it is the merger of state and corporate interests. Fascism is more than a funny-sounding word; it is dyed deep into the fabric of American life; and creeps forward today, under cover of 'Law.'

What we are witnessing in this hour is a New Imperialism. Iraq is reduced to rubble, and American corporations make a mint by rebuilding it. All of this, we are assured, is to benefit 'the People of Iraq. What we are witnessing in the shattered ruins of Iraq is the spoils of war; spoils that are the seeds of vast wealth. Of course, Administration officials are putting quite a different spin on this development. In a speech made several months ago before the conservative American Enterprise Institute, neoconservative thinker, Richard Perle observed, "What I think we have won on the battlefield is the right to try to establish consistent policies that are for the benefit of the people of Iraq." He hastened to add, "It's not that we are looking for anything for ourselves..." The U.S. role was described as a "stewardship" over the conquered territory. The U.S., of course, doesn't have to ‘look [...] for anything.' It already has what it wants. I guess you could make an argument that the administration is using the war as an opportunity to hand out more subsidies to American businesses (shutting out foreign bidders), but it's not like Iraq is all that great a prize as a market. Nor is Afghanistan. Yes, the war has been bullshit from the start, but someone does have to rebuild that country. hmmm...So all the Heroin and Opium in Afghanistan isn't big business. Billions in Oil and cheap labor in Iraq? Another Masterpiece. Well done!

Video from the Partisan Defence Committee. Free Mumia NOW!! Mumia is an innocent man! Abolish the Racist Death Penalty!! (Part 3 of 3) More info @ http://icl-fi.org/ I, MUMIA ABU-JAMAL, declare: 1. I am the Petitioner in this action. If called as a witness I could and would testify to the following from my own personal knowledge: 2. I did not shoot Police Officer Daniel Faulkner. I had nothing to do with the killing of Officer Faulkner. I am innocent. 3. At my trial I was denied the right to defend myself, I had no confidence in my court-appointed attorney, who never even asked me what happened the night I was shot and the police officer was killed, and I was excluded from at least half the trial. 4. Since I was denied all my rights at my trial I did not testify. I would not be used to make it look like I had a fair trial. 5. I did not testify in the post-conviction proceedings in 1995 on the advice of my attorney, Leonard Weinglass, who specifically told me not to testify. 6. Now for the first time I have been given an opportunity to tell what happened to me in the early morning hours of December 9, 1981. This is what happened: 7. As a cabbie I often chose 13th and Locust Street because it was a popular club area with a lot of foot traffic. 8. I worked out of United Cab on the night of 12/9/81. 9. I believe I had recently returned from dropping off a fare in West Philly. 10. I was filling out my log when I heard some shouting. 11. I glanced in my rear view mirror and saw a flashing dome light of a police cruiser. This wasn't unusual. 12. I continued to fill out my log/trip sheet when I heard what sounded like gun shots. 13. I looked again into my rear view mirror and saw people running up and down Locust. 14. As I scanned I recognized my brother standing in the street staggering and dizzy. 15. I immediately exited the cab and ran to his scream. 16. As I came across the street I saw a uniformed cop turn toward me gun in hand, saw a flash and went down to my knees. 17. I closed my eyes and sat still trying to breath. 18. The next thing that I remember I felt myself being kicked, hit and being brought out of a stupor. 19. When I opened my eyes, I saw cops all around me. 20. They were hollering and cursing, grabbing and pulling on me. I felt faint finding it hard to talk. 21. As I looked through this cop crowd all around me, I saw my brother, blood running down his neck and a cop lying on his back on the pavement. 22. I was pulled to my feet and then rammed into a telephone pole beaten where I fell and thrown into a paddy wagon. 23. I think I slept until I heard the door open and a white cop in a white shirt came in cursing and hit me in the forehead. 24. I don't remember what he said much except a lot of "n-----s", "black motherfuckers" and what not. 24. I believe he left and I slept. I don't remember the wagon moving for a while and when it did for sometime. 25. I awoke to hear the driver speaking over the radio about his prisoner. 26. I was informed by the anonymous crackle on the radio that I was en route to the police administration building a few blocks away. 27. Then, it sounded like "I.D.'d as M-1" came on the radio band telling the driver to go to Jefferson Hospital. 28. Upon arrival I was thrown from the wagon to the ground and beaten. 29. I was beaten again at the doors of Jefferson. 30. Because of the blood in my lungs it was difficult to speak, and impossible to holler. 31. I never confessed to anything because I had nothing to confess to. 32. I never said I shot the policeman. I did not shoot the policeman. 33. I never said I hoped he died. I would never say something like that. I declare under penalty of perjury under the laws of the United States that the above is true and correct and was executed by me on 3 May, 2001, at Waynesburg, Pennsylvania.
