The British Empire's imposition of the Zionist state has obviously been among the worst blunders in history. As always, Jews, Muslims, Christians, Buddhists, pagans, agnostics, atheists and UFO-worshipers are welcome to live in secular nations such as the United States and Russia....

Mark Gabrish Conlan/Zengers Newsmagazine,
|
In 1985 Dr. Raymond Francis was a high-powered international businessman when he started to feel fatigued and run-down all the time. He saw 36 doctors, all of whom told him there was nothing wrong with him. After suffering life-threatening reactions from a diagnostic test he was given by one doctor and a drug he was prescribed by another, Dr. Francis used his own knowledge of biology and chemistry to bring himself back to health and developed a system that includes a sweeping condemnation of modern life in general and modern foods virtually all of which, he argues, are toxins to be avoided in particular.

Buying a Major-Label Artist's Album or Concert Ticket Supports the War Machine
GRINGO STARS,
|
Below is one of countless examples of how people support constant war through participation in an amoral economic system in their everyday lives. I admit: music is my main weakness, but I had to stop and re-evaluate my life-style choices in order to make a decision to not support the war machine. Loss of profit is one of the precious few attacks they actually suffer from. Besides, most every major-label release is produced to be as bland and boringly inoffensive (hence mass-marketably profitable) as possible.

UCLA Professor Documents Corporate Medias Use of Racist Metaphors
Mark Gabrish Conlan/Zengers Newsmagazine,
|
Otto Santa Ana, founder and associate professor of the César Chavez Center for Chicana and Chicano Studies at UCLA, came to San Diego November 15 to promote his new book, "Brown Tide Rising: Metaphors of Latinos in Contemporary American Public Discourse." His argument is that the corporate media are consistently slanted against people of color in general and immigrants in particular, but that the slanting is not carried out in the usual ways. Though coverage of issues like the 1994 anti-immigrant Proposition 187 was balanced in traditional journalistic terms supporters and opponents got roughly equal space the metaphors used for immigrants were overwhelmingly negative.

The attendees at the San Diego Foundation for Change Changemaker Celebration banquet November 15 in Balboa Park gasped in shock at the revelation by Maria Aceves of the Barrio Logan-area community group D.U.R.O. (Developing Unity through Resident Organizing) that two years ago she had been thrown out of an apartment shed occupied for 22 years and the rent on the unit had ballooned from the $450 per month she was paying when she was evicted to $1,075 for the current tenant.

Transcript of San Diego County Health Care Summit, November 15, 2002 (excerpts)
Mark Gabrish Conlan,
|
Transcript of a portion of the November San Diego County town-hall meeting on health care. Though advertised as part of a statewide series of programs designed to reach a "California consensus" on how to expand health coverage, the summit especially the portion transcribed here revealed deep differences between doctors and business owners on one side, and nurses and social activists on the other, over whether the health care system should cover everybody and whether government or the private sector should handle the job.

Health Care Summit Participants Clash over Governments Role
Mark Gabrish Conlan/Zengers Newsmagazine,
|
The advance notices for the town-hall meeting on health care at the San Diego County Administrative Center November 15 proclaimed that the meeting, part of a statewide series of similar events, was designed to work towards a California Health Consensus. The main purposes of this consensus were supposed to be extending health coverage to currently uninsured Californians and keeping community clinics, hospital emergency rooms and other health-care venues relied on by working-class and poor people open and adequately funded. But during the actual meeting this illusory consensus quickly dissolved and revealed vast differences between participants over whether all Californians should be guaranteed health coverage and whether it should come from the public or private sector.
