War Resister Delgado's San Diego Speech 5/20
Mark Gabrish Conlan/Zenger’s Newsmagazine,

War resister Aidan Delgado, who successfully got out of the Army as a conscientious objector but only after serving a full term of duty in Iraq, spoke in San Diego at the First Unitarian-Universalist Church in Hillcrest May 20. He showed slides of his war experiences — including some documenting war crimes at Abu Ghraib besides the ones exposed in the mainstream media — and explained his differences with fellow resister Pablo Paredes, whom he came to San Diego to support but with whom he disagrees on whether the U.S. should withdraw immediately from Iraq.

Transcript of Anti-War Press Conf., 5/20/05
transcribed by Mark Gabrish Conlan,

Before Aidan Delgado, Iraq War veteran and conscientious objector, spoke at the First Unitarian-Universalist Church in Hillcrest May 20, he, law professor Marjorie Cohn and Fernando Suárez del Solár, who lost his son in the early days of the war, gave a press conference. Only two reporters attended. Cohn explained her case against the legality of the war and the astonishing statement the judge in Pablo Paredes' court-martial made after she testified: “I think that the government has successfully proved that any servicemember has reasonable cause to believe that the wars in Yugoslavia, Afghanistan and Iraq are illegal.” Delgado defended his refusal to join most of the peace movement's call for immediate U.S. withdrawal from Iraq.

County Office of Education awards Pro-MinuteMen Film
lotus,

The San Diego county Office of Education conducts an annual award called the iVIE. The iVIE is intended to "increase student achievement through visual literacy". The San Diego county office of education includes the County Board of Education, the County Superintendent of Schools and more.

This year, the SD Coutny Office of Education decided to award a film called "Invasion", a pro minutemen film about why they must arm themselves to defend against migrant people. The student who won accepted his award at the red carpet event, where students of many different cultures and ethincities were in attendance, wore a shirt that said "proud to be a vigilante" and was met with a round of applause.

Why is the San Diego office of education doing so much to promote violence against migrant people?

Corporate News Media Incompetent, Criminally
Jesse - Founder & Editor, TvNewsLIES.org,

Incompetent journalists, criminally negligent journalists or liars who are complicit in the mass deception of the American people; there are no other ways whatsoever to describe the men and women who comprise the corporate news institutions of the United States. From the hired face you see every day on the boob tube to the journalism intern every person currently employed in the corporate media today has some soul searching to do.

The Fall of the American Media
© Bryan Zepp Jamieson,

That the free press in America has taken a catastrophic plunge over the past 15 years is pretty much beyond dispute. One can spend a few days reading the Washington Post and realize that the glory days of Woodward and Bernstein are long passed. One can read its crosstown rival, the Washington Times, and realize that some segments of the American press are no better than the once-ridiculed Pravda of the Soviet era.

The American News Media – Tools and Fools and
By W. David Jenkins III OldAmericanCentury.o,

The media must have been flipping out recently. Terri Schiavo was gone, Scott Peterson was in jail, Martha Stewart was out of jail and Michael Jackson could only make news when he showed up for court in his jammies. My gawd! What are we gonna report on?

“Well, the President’s numbers are way down.”

“Uh-huh…what else ya got?”

Jumpstarting the San Diego Free Press
sd indymedia,

We are restarting the San Diego Free Press after a long vacation in which we were up to our necks in other mediums. There is a ton of news of critical importance happening here in San Diego on a daily basis, and we're going to try to take our media making efforts out of the ether and back into the physical realm. We also plan to have lots of content in the new Free Press en español, since we have been doing serious work on translation for our website. We see the Free Press newspaper as an opportunity to both outreach to people who aren't already involved with movements for social justice and also as a way to reach communities which don't have much access to the internet and computers.

To do this, we need your help with editing, layout, translation, story and art submissions, brain power, donations, moral support, vegan cookies and anything else you want to help with!

Please join us at our next meeting to work on putting this issue together! The meeting will be Tuesday, May 17th at 7:30pm.

Donna Frye Speaks to Queer Democrats
Mark Gabrish Conlan/Zenger’s Newsmagazine,

City Councilmember Donna Frye made a surprise appearance at the April 28 meeting of the predominantly Queer San Diego Democratic Club. She said she definitely would run in any election to fill the term of lame-duck Mayor Dick Murphy and pleaded with club members to lobby the City Council to schedule an election as soon as possible instead of filling the vacancy with an appointed interim mayor. The Council will consider the question Monday, May 2 at 11 a.m. The meeting's program also included a discussion of the same-sex marriage issue and a report from Jess Durfee, former club president and current chair of the San Diego County Democratic Central Committee, on the likely candidates for Mayor.

Enron Movie Opens in San Diego April 29
Mark Gabrish Conlan/Zenger’s Newsmagazine,

Alex Gibney's new documentary "Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room" opens in San Diego April 29 at the Landmark Theatres, 5th and University in Hillcrest. Made by the co-director of the liberal film "The Trials of Henry Kissinger," the Enron movie at times hints at a broader critique of capitalism but at other times buys into the pro-capitalist defense of Enron as a "bad apple" in a basically sound market system. The film also contrasts the testosterone-driven male-chauvinist culture of Enron with the heroism of three women — two within the company and one a journalist for Fortune magazine — who blew the whistle on it.
