More Smoke on the Horizon in the Middle East
Mahdi Darius Nazemroaya,

If war were to be waged against Iran and Syria, there would be casualties in the tens of thousands in Iraq. Iraq would become a graveyard for U.S. and British forces. U.S. and British troops would be overwhelmed by waves of well armed and well trained Iranian troops and Syrian troops...President Bush could also pass war-time measures giveing him dictatorial powers.

Protestors Block Private Immigration Detention Facility in Houston
repost from houston.indymedia.org,

From Houston Indymedia:
This morning at dawn, immigrant rights activists locked themselves to the entrance gates of the Houston Processing Center, a private immigration detention facility in North Houston. See Photos: [ 1 | 2 ] Audio

A statement from the activists:
This week the leaders of the richest and most powerful 8 countries in the world are meeting in Germany for the Group of 8 (G8) conference. During the G8 gathering these leaders will continue to strategize and promote the economic and political policy of neoliberal "globalization". These 8 nations, which compose 65% of the global economy have pushed for an economic system which impacts the whole world, making the rich richer, and impoverishing millions...--Read More--

G8: Courts Grant Appeal: Star March Happening
repost from the Star March Coalition,

Star March Coalition

Press Release
May 25th 2007

*G8 2007 Protests in Germany*

*Courts Grant Appeal: Star March Can Happen*
The Star March Intends to go all the Way to the Kempinski Hotel
‘State of Emergency’ Does Not Justify a General Ban

The urgent appeal of the Star March Coalition lodged at the Schwerin
Court has been successful. The Coalition had lodged a law suit against
the general demonstration ban issued by the police department. A general
injunction over a 40 square kilometer area had been designated as a
demonstration free zone. Such an injunction would have been
unprecedented in the history of Germany.

Immigration Activists Clash at Queer Democratic Club
Mark Gabrish Conlan/Zenger’s Newsmagazine,

Immigration-rights attorney Lilia Velasquez and Mary Moreno Richardson, reverend canon of St. Paul's Episcopal Cathedral, were brought in to speak at the predominantly Queer San Diego Democratic Club May 24. While they largely agreed on the need to protect immigrants' rights against abusive Border Patrol enforcement and private Minuteman vigilantism, they disagreed dramatically on the merits of the current "compromise" immigration bill before the U.S. Senate. Richardson hailed the bill as a start for a long-needed discussion on the issue, while Velasquez denounced it as repressive and said that no bill at all would be better for immigrants than the one being proposed now.

Robert Gallo on the Witness Stand
Mark Gabrish Conlan/Zenger’s Newsmagazine,

This year, an "HIV positive" Australian man accused of having unprotected sex with three women and giving the alleged "AIDS virus" to one, tried to appeal his conviction on the basis of alternative scientific research that HIV doesn't exist and the tests to detect it are invalid. He lost the case, but alternative AIDS scientists, journalists and activists got a valuable consolation prize when Robert Gallo, co-discoverer of HIV and the man who did more than any other individual to establish "HIV/AIDS" as uunchallengeable scientific dogma, took the witness stand and inadvertently admitted that the declaration of HIV as the cause of AIDS was based on politics, not science.

Preparing for martial law in the United State
redpill8,

I hate to be the pallbearer at our country's funeral, but I am here to inform you, in case you missed it on Fox News, that the apparatus for martial law is being quietly, but steadily, implemented. If one has been paying attention to the laws that are getting passed over the last few years we can see the telltale signs that we are getting closer and closer to such a scenario. Not only is this government setting up the legal framework for martial law, but they are also setting up the policing apparatus and infrastructure to carry it out.

Mike Byron Speaks on "Infinity's Rainbow"
Mike Byron on "Infinity's Rainbow" in S.D.,

Mike Byron, author, political science professor and former Congressional candidate, spoke to the San Diego Humanist Association at the San Diego Public Library May 20 and introduced his new book, "Infinity's Rainbow." LIke the book, his presentation linked four issues that threaten the very existence of U.S. and world civilization: global warming, the exhaustion of the world's fossil-fuel reserves, the incredible power corporations have over American politics and the rising influence of the radical Christian Right, particularly the so-called "dispensationalists" who regard war in the Middle East as a necessary step towards the fulfillment of the prophecies of the Book of Revelation and their own salvation in a divine "Rapture" that will lift them bodily from this earth just before it collapses.

A Cultural Review: A Good and Exceptional PCN
Arturo P. Garcia,

If “ the Samahang Pilipino Cultural Night is the culmination of a yearlong journey of education and preparation undertaken by the Samahang Pilipino cast and the by-product serves as an important avenue to share and explore Pilipino culture,” then the last presentation “BALIKBAYAN: The Journey Home “ on May 19 was a success.

Going further, it served its purpose to “address issues relevant to the Pilipino and the Pilipino-American community.

We in the Filipino community, further salute the Samahang Pilipino especially the script development group that was able to integrate the issues like immigration, immigrant rights, Pilipino Diaspora, identity issues among Pilipinos and Filipino American youths, the yearning to go back to the homeland, the issue of political killings, systemic change and nationalism as well as integration to the mainstream- the real community empowerment in the American society into the cultural event.

We have been to two or three SPCN’s but this year’s production is really different in content, very light and enjoyable for a four hours production.

Refutando a los sordos: Chavismo y anarquismo
Colectivo Editor de El Libertario, Venezuela,

* Desde El Libertario va nuestra réplica a las habituales requisitorias que suelen endilgarnos la derecha rústica o esa izquierda plegable que, dentro y fuera de Venezuela, se encandila con el espejismo seudo-revolucionario del chavismo. Bastante más deberíamos, podríamos y querríamos decir sobre este tema, pero de momento aquí se condensa y actualiza lo esencial de nuestra perspectiva, que no por expresada antes deja de ser necesario repetir ahora.

Refuting the Deafs: Chavism and Anarchism ...
El Libertario's editorial staff,

* From the publishers of El Libertario goes our reply to the habitual expressions that the coarse right or the easy-going left used to attribute us; the same left that, inside and outside of Venezuela allows that the mirage of the Chávez pseudo-revolution impressed them. We could and would like to say very much more about this subject, however currently here there is the essential and concise information about our point of view that, even when it was expressed several times it does not implies that it does not have to be repeated.

SMASH THE U.S.-ARROYO KILLING MACHINE!
E. SAN JUAN, JR.,

In this May election period and after, the brutal Arroyo regime in the Philippines, backed by the Bush corporate cabal, will be facing the people's judgment for "crimes against humanity" (to quote the verdict of the Permanent People's Tribunal at The Hague, Netherlands, last March). This essay
reflects on themes and issues surrounding the crisis of the neocolonial polity of the Philippines in the context of Bush's barbaric war of terror on the Filipino people, and of predatory globalized capital's assault on the peoples of the world.

Jeremy Scahill Denounces Blackwater in San Diego
Mark Gabrish Conlan/Zenger’s Newsmagazine,

Jeremy Scahill, author of "Blackwater: The Rise of the World's Most Powerful Missionary Army," spoke in San Diego May 1 and La Mesa May 2 on Blackwater U.S.A., the politically connected "security" firm supplying more than 120,000 personnel to the U.S. occupation of Iraq — including at least 40,000 mercenaries in combat operations — and its secretive radical-Right founder, Erik Prince. He was brought to San Diego by opponents of the 824-acre training camp Blackwater wants to build in the quiet southeastern San Diego community of Potrero, and he discussed the company's Republican political connections, its involvement in Iraq and the Katrina response, and the failure of the U.S. mainstream media to cover these issues more critically.

How to get out of Iraq for just $450 million
ThinkPeace,

If Nancy Pelosi and Congress really want the war to end and U.S. personnel to leave Iraq, it doesn't have to cost $100 billion or even $10 billion. For just $450 million, Congress could hire U.S. airlines to fly all U.S. troops (and contractors) home for good, in time to enjoy summer with their families.

Will Chicago be the next 911?
Gary Melton,

I believe that a subliminal audio
propaganda campaign is being conducted
on some or all Americans that is
designed to incite murderous hatred
directed at muslims and at some point
trigger a massive wave of violence
across America directed against such
persons.

I further believe that a
"catalyzing event" has been planned
that will throw this country into a
state of emergency, thus laying the
foundation for hate groups and citizen
militias to "Act Out".
