Announcing Indymedia On Campus
San Diego Indymedia,

San Diego Indymedia is starting a new project called Indymedia On Campus to provide more coverage of Campus issues and activism and also to encourage more university participation in Indymedia. San Diego Indymedia is a grassroots organization committed to using media production and distribution as a tool for promoting social and economic justice in San Diego County.

There are lots of hot stories going on at UCSD, SDSU, USD and City College. At SDSU campus activists are protesting military recruiters and fighting oppression by campus cops. Students in all parts of the county face higher fees and the loss of quality programs. At UCSD SPECFLIC happens tomorrow and SRTV is in danger of being shut down. We'll be doing coverage of SPECFLIC and radioActive sanDiego will be broadcasting it live.

Great Political Plays at 6th @ Penn
Mark Gabrish Conlan/Zenger's Newsmagazine,

6th @ Penn Theatre, 3704 Sixth Avenue in Hillcrest, is presenting on its so-called "off nights" (Sundays through Wednesdays) through November 16 an intense, profoundly moving program of plays united by the theme of inhumanity. The subjects of the plays include the genocides in Rwanda and Sudan, lingering anti-Jewish prejudice in America and the U.S. practice of "extraordinary rendition" — kidnapping terror suspects and flying them to countries like Saudi Arabia and Egypt so they can be tortured. Their styles range from wrenching, realistic drama to circus-like satirical farce, but all four works combine a sense of political commitment with a passionate, artistically integral sense of drama.

bruce,

Knowing the source of this piece makes it all the more disturbing. It is not every day that the editor of a respected national magazine publishes an essay claiming that America is not on the road to becoming, but ALREADY IS, a fascist state.... or words to that affect.

A Warning ?
Ben,

Where would we really find the principal danger to civil liberty in a republic? Not in the governors as governors, not in the governed as governed, but in the governed unequipped to function as governors. The chief enemies of republican freedom are mental sloth, conformity, bigotry, superstition, credulity, monopoly in the market of ideas, and utter, benighted ignorance. Footnote 1 to ADDERLEY v. FLORIDA, 385 U.S. 39 (1966), JUSTICE DOUGLAS, with whom THE CHIEF JUSTICE, MR. JUSTICE BRENNAN, and MR. JUSTICE FORTAS concur, dissenting.

Griffin Seals Case for WTC Demolition, Calls
Dr. Kevin Barrett, University of Wisconsin,

In two speeches to overflow crowds in New York last weekend, notable theologian David Ray Griffin argued that recently revealed evidence seals the case that the Twin Towers and WTC-7 were destroyed by controlled demolition with explosives. Despite the many enduring mysteries of the 9/11 attacks, Dr. Griffin concluded, "It is already possible to know, beyond a reasonable doubt, one very important thing: the destruction of the World Trade Center was an inside job, orchestrated by terrorists within our own government."

Norman Solomon Speaks in San Diego
Mark Gabrish Conlan/Zenger's Newsmagazine,

Norman Solomon, columnist and head of the Institute for Public Accuracy (which attempts to get progressive voices featured in the mainstream media), spoke in San Diego September 29 at a benefit organized by Activist San Diego for the Guerrero Azteca Project of anti-war activist Fernando Suárez del Solár. Promoting and reading from his new book "War Made Easy," Solomon spoke mostly of the ease with which any determined President can build public support for a war he wants to wage, and how the corporate media help him through turning themselves into transmission belts for pro-war propaganda. The event raised $1,000 for Guerrero Azteca Project and its efforts to offer scholarships to young Latinos and other students of color to give them other ways to pay for college than by joining the military.

"The War Within" Explores a Terrorist's Mind
Mark Gabrish Conlan/Zenger's Newsmagazine,

"The War Within," a new film opening October 7 at the Landmark Cinemas in Hillcrest, is a powerful, gripping drama about a would-be terrorist planning an attack in New York after three years being imprisoned and tortured in his native Pakistan. The film maintains a delicate balance, seeking to make us understand the central character's motives without making him so sympathetic as to condone his actions. The film's effectiveness is due to the skill of its creators — director Joseph Castelo and star Ayad Akhtar, who also co-wrote the script — in maintaining that balance and creating enough other characters to dramatize the central character's "roads not taken" and leave open the hope that he'll abandon his terrorist plans.
