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.

attacks on revolution books
duko,

1. Revolution Books Outlet has had a booth at every Concert of Colors since its inception. This year, New Detroit has banned RBO from the event. It appears to be based on a bogus attempt to label RBO’s support for the struggle of the Palestinian people as anti-Jewish. This is at a time of an escalating war on the Palestinians by Israel, and the U.S., as part of their war on the peoples of the Middle East, and a fascist clampdown in the U.S. in which Arab people have been the first targets. RBO has been on point against this war and repression, providing literature which shows that the war on the Middle East is a strategic part of the U.S. empire’s plans for world domination, calls for massive resistance to war and repression, and poses the need for revolution, including in the U.S. Banning RBO from the Concert of Colors is censorship, book-burning, like the attacks on Fahrenheit 911, part of a climate where all support for liberation struggles is labeled as terrorist and debate and protest are labeled as treason.

Reagan's Dark Legacy
Mark Gabrish Conlan/Zenger's Newsmagazine,

Despite the near-deification in the official tributes to Ronald Reagan, his legacy on virtually every significant issue of his presidency — the economy, the environment, women's reproductive rights, Queer rights, labor rights, crony capitalism and U.S. financial and logistical support for international terrorism — was a disaster for the country. Reagan deserves to rot in hell for all eternity.
