US Air Force Flies Its Combat Aircraft into I
Yoshie Furuhashi,

After Seymour M. Hersh's revelation that "[t]he [George W. Bush] Administration has been conducting secret reconnaissance missions inside Iran at least since last summer" (Seymour M. Hersh, "The Coming Wars: What the Pentagon Can Now Do in Secret," The New Yorker, January 24, 2005), more frightening news. Two newspapers on the left and right ends of the political mainstream report that the US Air Force is flying its combat planes into Iran's airspace, "templating" Iran's air defense positions, and daring Teheran to shoot US planes down -- an act that simultaneously prepares for the next war, serves as a provocation, seeks to create a pretext for war (if the planes are shot down), and (if nothing else) escalates its ongoing psychological warfare against Teheran.

Human rights violations in Guantanamo
Astrid Essed,

Not only must the recent FBI-revelations about the torture of prisoners in Guantanamo be seen in the light of the known facts about their treatment, there is also a close connection with the official denying of their elementary human rights, due the refusal of the American government to give them a judicial status according International Law.

And the police were afraid!
Rocky,

And the police were afraid! For the first time in over three decades I saw fear in the face of police as they confronted demonstrators - and it smelled good. The anti-inaguaration activities of January 20th was the tale of two marches: one staid, predictable; the other; spontaneous, pulsating, youthful energy that shifted beyond the politics of protest.

Street Party in Downtown San Diego
Plant a Bush in Texas.,

The "Remember the Dead! Fight for the Living! Reclaim the Streets" rally snaked its way through the streets of downtown San Diego. The crowd numbered several hundred and pulsed with vibrant energy. Police followed the Anti-Bush Protestors rather than telling them where to go. The protest moved from Horton Plaza down Fourth Street then turned west by the Ralph's Market and the wound around on Market towards Fifth Street.

“Kerry Won,” Palast Tells Church Audience
Mark Gabrish Conlan/Zenger’s Newsmagazine,

“I just want to warn you that there are cranks, kooks and crazies on the Internet who say John Kerry won the election — I know, because I wrote the article, ‘Kerry Won,’” American-born, British-based journalist Greg Palast told a capacity crowd of 700 at the main chapel of the First Unitarian-Universalist Church in Hillcrest January 17. Palast’s general theme — that U.S. democracy is a shambles, held hostage by willful Republican election officials and a complacent media — remains the same as it was when he emerged with tales of voter fraud in Florida in 2000. But in his fourth San Diego appearance, and his first since November 2, 2004, he had plenty more ammunition with which to make his case.

US troops in Iran searching for war targets
Seymour M. Hersh c/o sdimc,

George W. Bush’s reelection was not his only victory last fall. The President and his national-security advisers have consolidated control over the military and intelligence communities’ strategic analyses and covert operations to a degree unmatched since the rise of the post-Second World War national-security state. Bush has an aggressive and ambitious agenda for using that control—against the mullahs in Iran and against targets in the ongoing war on terrorism—during his second term. The C.I.A. will continue to be downgraded, and the agency will increasingly serve, as one government consultant with close ties to the Pentagon put it, as “facilitators” of policy emanating from President Bush and Vice-President Dick Cheney. This process is well under way.

Counter-Inaugural Action Coverage on Indymedia
San Diego Indymedia,

In the days to come, the United States is going to see the coronation of a President who was elected with so much fraud that both the Senate and the House of Representatives contested his election. Regardless of the illegitimacy of the vote, millions of people absolutely reject the Bush administration and its policies, and many people reject the policies of the Democratic party and the entire system of representative democracy and capitalism.

On January 19th, the night before the inauguration, San Diego Indymedia will be throwing a counter-inaugural film night with footage from the RNC protests in New York in 2004 and with a short film from the 2000 Inaugural protests in DC. More info here.

We ask you to become the media in the coming days. Indymedia is a place for community access to media, and we can't do it without you! Please submit your stories, photos, video and audio to our website by clicking on the "Publish" button in the upper right hand corner, or just go here.

As the massive demonstrations, marches, direct actions and acts of civil disobedience unfold, you can follow them on indymedia in a variety of ways.

Check us.indymedia.org for news of the DC actions to stop the inauguration.

Watch this site to see the latest breaking news about the many actions happening here.

Listen to radioActiveradio.org for up to the second live coverage from the streets.
