'Union-Tribune' Vet Goldsborough Quits After
By Mark Fitzgerald via P & E,

CHICAGO Longtime San Diego (Calif.) Union-Tribune columnist Jim Goldsborough is quitting the paper, saying Publisher David C. Copley abruptly pulled a column scheduled to run Monday as "payback" for his criticism of President Bush.

Goldsborough said the reason he was given after the fact is that the column, about why Jewish voters overwhelmingly cast their presidential ballots for John Kerry, was "offensive."

Looking Back Five Years to The Battle of Seattle
santacruz.indymedia.org c/o lotus,

November 30, 1999 represented a triumphal moment for worldwide civil resistance against a global economic system that gives private corporations more power than governments. In the morning hours of N30, 1999, tens of thousands of activists from across the globe converged in the streets of downtown Seattle, to shut down meetings of the World Trade Organization, the undemocratic, international governing forum of neoliberal globalization.

The conflict became infamous around the world, partially because of the violent police response to the largely peaceful demonstrations. In years since, N30 has been remembered in the streets of Seattle and around the globe, with marches, rallies and celebrations of resistance. Dialogues about the effectiveness of the movement have multiplied in number, both within and beyond activist circles. The date is also remembered as the birth of the Independent Media Center, www.Indymedia.org.

At the WTO protests in Seattle, we had a collective vision. We saw beyond the borders that divide us. We saw people come together across every kind of political and cultural difference and stand up in a way that we had not seen in this country for decades. We saw peaceful protests shut down one of the most powerful institutions in the world and we saw a system dazed and frightened by the sound of our voices.

SDUT complicit in the stolen Frye election
George Stout,

The San Diego Union-Tribune wrote of the “write-in” vote for Donna Frye—not of the “bubble/write-in” candidate. In “normal” minds (probably of which the distortive perceptions at the Union are seldom privy) “write in” as parlance means exactly that. To suggest that one need bubble AND write-in is to say that duplicitous redundancy is in order.

Critical Mass Radio Network on radioActive sanDiego

This month's broadcast topic is COLONIAL HOLIDAY (in Cambodia)
regurgitation, and how to avoid buying anything ever again, ever.

Critical Mass Radio Network (CMRN) is a decentralized radio network composed of a constellation of independent community radio stations. The CMRN site provides the means for community radio stations to rebroadcast the CMRN signal over the FM band. The signal itself is composed of the radio stations that make up the network. We've organized according to Principles of Unity, and intend to further the growth of independent community based radio internationally, regardless of the broadcast medium.

Fahrenhype 9/11
James F. Harrington,

The other day my daughter surprised me by renting the acclaimed Michael Moore documentary, Fahrenheit 9/11. She knew that I was very anxious to see it, so she went to one of the local video rental stores and rented three movies of which Fahrenheit 9/11 was supposed to be one of. Her intention was that we could watch it as a family.

U.S. Forces Norway to Close Anti-Bush Site
Citizens for Legitimate Government,

They're not just after the IMC, though this item may shed light on the still-mysterious raid on London-based IMC servers at the behest of the U.S., Swiss and/or Italian governments last October. Apparently the U.S., befitting its status as a world empire, will go anywhere in the world to shut down lèse-majesté comments on the Web about itself or its Emperor.

Jensen Attacks "Liberal Hawks" @ 1st Unitarian Universalist Church

University of Texas media law, ethics and politics professor Robert Jensen called his talk November 18 at the First Unitarian-Universalist Church in Hillcrest “Citizens of the Empire: The Struggle to Reclaim Our Humanity.” But instead of a how-to manual on surviving four more years of the Bush administration, Jensen’s talk was a forceful attack on “liberal hawks” and Americans’ view of their country as morally superior.

One Hundred New Pirate Radio Stations...
kirsten anderberg,

After broadcasting over the radio airwaves in the Santa Cruz, Ca. area for almost 10 years without a license, in defiance of federal regulations, one day this fall, the U.S. government decided to take some action. On Sept. 29, 2004, Federal Marshals, aiding the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), raided Free Radio Santa Cruz (FRSC), seizing radio equipment to disable their broadcasts. I wondered what FRSC volunteers, and other microradio, or “pirate,” radio station volunteers, were feeling about this raid. It seems so often the government does things like this to “set an example” for others, to be a warning to others engaging in similar activity, to deter them from continuing on with defiant behavior…and sometimes that type of governmental intimidation works, and sometimes it does not. Questions linger, such as what the federal government intends to do with FRSC’s seized radio equipment. I interviewed several West Coast microradio station volunteers about their reactions to the FRSC raid for this article.
