"Planet of Slums" Author Speaks in San Diego
Mark Gabrish Conlan/Zenger’s Newsmagazine,

Mike Davis, author of several best-selling books on urban corruption and apocalypse, spoke at the First Unitarian-Universalist Church Wednesday, September 13 and outlined the basic themes of his new book, "Planet of Slums." His argument was that one billion or more people worldwide now live in slum conditions, that they exist almost totally outside the organized world economy, and that the breakdown of any sense of community and the rise of the "Washington consensus" and the structural adjustment programs it imposed on the Third World have pretty much wiped out any chance for these people to work themselves up economically and better their lives.

Channel 10 News Workers on Strike!
another reason corporate media sucks,

"At McGraw-Hill, we help individuals, markets and societies reach their potential.
It's how we leave our mark on the world."
Terry McGraw
Chairman & CEO
The McGraw-Hill Companies

The exception is McGraw-Hill-owned KGTV, Channel 10, in San Diego.

Engineers, Technicians, Directors, Photographers, Editors and Artists have been trying to negotiate a fair contract with McGraw-Hill. These are the same people who bring you 10News, 10News.com, The 10NewsChannel (24-hour news coverage), Azteca America (Cable 15) and your favorite ABC shows.

McGraw-Hill wants to eliminate union jobs and refuses to negotiate over the issue. This despite making huge profits, up 13% last quarter alone. NABET-CWA has over 50 years of history at Channel 10 with no labor disputes. The Union has spent that time moving both McGraw-Hill and the employees in a forward direction. It has been a great success story.

"Border War" Protest Video
qjb,

Human rights activists from Border Angels, Friends of Day Laborers and other groups gathered at the AMC Mission Valley to protest the opening of the propaganda film Border War, which was produced by the extreme right wing group, Citizens United and directed by Kevin Knoblock, whose other "credits" are Celsius 41.11 and a bio of Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Enrique Morones of Border Angels, who appeared in the movie, talked to the corporate media about the humanity and goodness of migrants, and the need to transcend the racist rhetoric of the right wing to find ways to ensure human rights for everyone.

Floyd Brown, the "Chair of the Board" of Citizens United, provoked a confrontation for the corporate cameras by badgering a human rights activist who was writing the message "No One is Illegal" on a sign. Floydie-boy has a long history as a racist, including producing the Willie Horton ad in 1988, widely credited with boosting Bush I into the presidency. Although he started strong and indeed produced a spectacle, he wasn't able to think beyond simple racist code words and eventually was chased from the limelight by cross-bearing humanitarians.

David Rovics Performs in San Diego Sept. 8
Mark Gabrish Conlan/Zenger’s Newsmagazine,

America’s political folksingers have been fanning the flames of discontent for at least 100 years, from the IWW’s Joe Hill (convicted on trumped-up charges and executed in 1915) to Woody Guthrie and Pete Seeger in the 1940’s, Bob Dylan and Phil Ochs in the 1960’s, Utah Phillips and Fred Small in the 1980’s, and now Roy Zimmerman, Dave Lippman, Charlie King, the Prince Myshkins — and David Rovics, who’ll be bringing his songs and stage raps to San Diego Friday, September 8, 7 p.m. at the Sherman Heights Community Center, 2258 Island Avenue.

The Pride Beatings
Mark Gabrish Conlan/Zenger’s Newsmagazine,

On the surface, the reaction of the city and the police to the assaults that took place outside the Lesbian/Gay/Bisexual/Transgender Pride Festival July 30 seem fine; mayor Jerry Sanders made appropriately supportive remarks and three suspects were in custody within days of the incident. But a closer look reveals both city officials and members of the Queer community more concerned about damage control and protecting the profits of Queer businesses and the estimated $21 million the city takes in from the Pride events than in actually protecting the lives and safety of Queers in San Diego.

“Creating Chaos” Teach-In Explores Middle East
Mark Gabrish Conlan/Zenger’s Newsmagazine,

A teach-in called "Creating Chaos" in Golden Hill August 25, sponsored by the Middle East Cultural and Information Center (MECIC), featured three Arab-American speakers who challenged the view of Middle Eastern politics, especially the Israel-Lebanon war and the U.S. occupation of Iraq, commonly presented in the mainstream U.S. media. The speakers said the chaos created in the wake of the U.S. conquest of Iraq was deliberate and denounced the American peace movement for refusing to support the armed struggles of Hezbollah in Lebanon, Hamas in occupied Palestine and the resistance in Iraq.

Queer Demos Prioritize Busby Race
Mark Gabrish Conlan/Zenger’s Newsmagazine,

Despite her disappointing five-point loss to Republican lobbyist Brian Bilbray in the June 6 special election to fill the Congressional seat left vacant by Randy "Duke" Cunningham's bribery conviction, Francine Busby got a heroine's welcome from the predominantly Queer San Diego Democratic Club August 24. The club voted to make hers a priority campaign, which means they will make special efforts to mobilize volunteers and donate money for her rematch against Bilbray this Movember.

Anti-Nuke Play at Cygnet Theatre
Mark Gabrish Conlan/Zenger's Newsmagazine,

Michael Frayn's 1998 play "Copenhagen," through September 24 at Cygnet Theatre, deals with the meeting of Werner Heisenberg, German physicist in charge of Hitler's atomic weapons program, with Danish physicist Niels Bohr in Copenhagen in September 1941. The dilemmas raised by the play — the responsibility scientists have for the uses, negative and positive, to which their discoveries are put and whether they owe allegiance to their nations or all humankind — are all too relevant today.

New Name For Senate Telecom Bill—But Still In Need of Fix

Summary: Sen. Stevens’ telecom bill HR5252 is now called the “Advanced Telecommunications and Opportunity Reform (ATOR) Act”—but still fails to protect Net Neutrality, allows for telecommunication ‘redlining’ of low income and rural communities, and hurts public access TV, says Anthony Riddle of the Alliance For Community Media.
