The Day Philosophy Dies
catB,

“Step One is to recognize that there is a problem.” When a movie star is kidnapped and put through a 12 step recovery program for addiction to Western Civilization, reality gets turned on its ear. The fugitives careen headlong through passion, betrayal, and assassinations toward an explosive event that will transform the world. Everything you know can change in an instant. Are you ready for the next step?

AIDS Trade Show
Mark Gabrish Conlan,

The recently concluded AIDS conference in Bangkok, Thailand was yet another pharmaceutical industry trade show, devoted to pushing the highly expensive, insanely toxic so-called "life-saving" anti-HIV medications onto Third World countries even as the lack of any real scientific progress only underlined the bankruptcy of the chemotherapeutic approach to AIDS treatment.

Real World Radio,

Gathered in Quito, at the Americas Social Forum, the Hemispheric Council of the Continental Social Alliance has decided to remove the opposition to the FTAA from its foundational declaration, as one of its main goals.

What Matters To You
Kirwan,

Why do we have elections? Does it matter if there is no choice? Has anyone noticed that the political conventions have not been held, and already the parties have decided who the candidates will be ­ with almost no input from any of the largest groups of real people: Does this matter? Hell no ­ how can it matter when people don't actually matter at all, to either of the major political groups, or in any other context in the USA today. We are officially nothing. Welcome to the world of zero influence!

Teamsters Strike at Coca-Cola, Intl Day of Action against Coke
PR Newswire and FSRN c/o lotus,

Teamsters in San Diego, California, who produce and distribute Coca-Cola products for Coca-Cola Enterprises went on strike today to protest the company's demand to dramatically increase workers' health care costs."Coke's greed has put nearly 500 San Diego families in jeopardy," said Jack Cipriani, International Vice President and Director of the Teamsters Brewery & Soft Drink Workers' Conference. "It is unconscionable that Coke would turn on the very people who work so hard to make the company the number one selling soft drink brand in the United States. Paying for those health benefits would have cost CCE less than what the company earned in 17 minutes last year."

The World Social Forum declared tomorrow, the 22nd of July, as an International Day of Action against Coca Cola. Organizers are encouraging schools and organizations to stop stocking coke machines and are asking individuals to refrain from buying Coca Cola products. In the US the campaign to boycott ‘Killer Coke’ is spreading across college campuses and communities around the country. The boycott was launched last year by the Colombian food and beverage workers’ union, SINALTRAINAL, to bring attention to the murders of Coca-Cola trade unionists there that they believe were executed by company-hired death squads in a country often described as the world’s most dangerous place for labor activists.

SEIU Convention Offers Same Old Policies
Richard Mellor,

To Many young activists, SEIU is considered the progressive Union. But, in the last analysis, the policies of SEIU's leadership are no different from those of any other AFL-CIO Union. They fail to take on the employers in a serious way and refuse to break politically with the Democratic Party.

Globalization vs. AIDS Treatment
posted by Mark Gabrish Conlan,

The latest news from the international AIDS conference in Bangkok, Thailand is about the clash between global pharmaceutical companies seeking to maintain their patents — and resulting ultra-high monopoly prices — on anti-HIV medications and governments in less-developed countries seeking to produce cheaper generic versions of the drugs. While my own view remains that much of what is called "AIDS" in the Third World is actually old, endemic infectious disease like tuberculosis and malaria, the attempt of the multinational drug companies to protect their patents no matter what bodes ill for the less-developed world's future access to health care in general and ALL prescription drugs in particular.
