Demo to Save Kenneth Foster August 27
Mark Gabrish Conlan/Zenger’s Newsmagazine,
On Monday, August 27, at 5 p.m. on Broadway in front of Horton Plaza between Third and Fourth Streets downtown, there will be a demonstration to save Texas death-row inmate Kenneth Foster from being executed on August 30 and win him a new trial. This article details the Foster case and exposes the major miscarriages of justice that led to Foster's conviction and death sentence for being in the wrong place at the wrong time. It also quotes from Foster himself and mentions his organization D.R.I.V.E. (Death Row Inter-communalist Vanguard Engagement), a group of death row prisoners campaigning both for improved conditions and for an end to capital punishment itself. For more information, please see Foster's Web site at www.freekenneth.com

Should Journalists be Certified?
King James II,
Reasonable people here in the U.S. appreciate, and also assume, that our culture’s news industry of executives, editors and journalists be held to high standards of professional conduct. A democratic republic needs, as well as expects, truth in reporting, and adequate, if not comprehensive, coverage on “all” important issues. To refocus the question of media fraud to one of whether journalists ought to be certified, or accredited by some kind of professional board, in order to be recognized as “professional” journalists, is, to say the least, shortsighted.

No Borders Camp Benefit: Wed Aug 15 7PM
In Solidarity, The No Borders Camp San Diego Organizers,
A number of community organizers and collectives from San Diego, CA are collaborating with organizations across the continent on an action camp effort to directly confront the injustices, violence and environmental degradation that the U.S./Mexico border embodies. Direct action, Independent Media broadcasting, workshops, art, music and speakers are being planned during the week of November 5-11, 2007.
The No Borders Camp will be in the Calexico/Mexicali borderland region. The Imperial/Mexicali valley is a leading producer of agricultural products for the U.S.A, houses dozens of multinational corporate Maquiladoras, has three toxic bodies of water that flow throughout the region and an Immigration and Custom Enforcement (ICE) detention center where migrant people are held for months to years. This No Borders Camp will be directly contributing to building community and awareness around the issues facing this region. Organizers are working to incorporate and exemplify the strong connections between the struggles people face in the borderlands and the realities communities face across the continent.
Most of the media's attention on immigrant issues today is concentrated on marches and legislation. However, the history and future of violence against immigrant people from Latin America is rooted in the displacement of farmers, natural resource extraction in remote communities, unlivable wages and state sanctioned violence to push the political agendas of governmental and capitalist entities. The strategic displacement of communities, to gain access to their resources, and subsequently to their cheap labor, is the driving force behind paramilitary violence in Mexico today. In fact, the violent displacement of communities of color around our world is directly connected to the political and economic forces at play in the Calexico/Mexicali region. This is an imposition that reduces human life to a mere variable in an economic equation, and a disposable variable at that.
For these reasons we are collaborating, and reaching out to you for support. We would like to invite you to collaborate with us in our efforts to realize the No Borders Camp, and together raise funds for a Media and Convergence Center to support the communities in getting their voices heard. Come to the benefit this Wednesday and enjoy music, food, art and friends.

Kehoe Addresses Queer Dems on State Budget
Mark Gabrish Conlan/Zenger’s Newsmagazine,
State Senator Christine Kehoe, who became San Diego County's first openly Queer elected official in 1993 and has held elective office ever since, made a surprise appearance at the predominantly Queer San Diego Democratic Club July 26. She talked mainly about why the state doesn't have a budget yet, blaming the impasse on the California constitution's two-thirds vote requirement to pass a budget and the recalcitrance of the 15 Republicans in the State Senate, who have refused to vote for a budget unless it has majority Republican support — and are demanding sweeping cuts in social services and environmental protection as the price of their agreement on a state budget.

Henry H. Bauer: HIV Can't Be an STD
Mark Gabrish Conlan/Zenger’s Newsmagazine,
Henry H. Bauer, retired professor of chemistry and scientific history at Virginia Tech University, has published a book, "The Origin, Persistence and Failings of HIV/AIDS Theory." The three-part book examines the statistical evidence and proves that, whatever the so-called "HIV test" measures, it is NOT the spread of a sexually transmitted virus. Bauer also examines the history of science and analyzes how the idea that HIV causes AIDS hardened into dogma and became part of conventional wisdom despite its scientific impossibility.

DA Dumanis Invading Homes of Poor: San Diego's Project 100%
Eric Isaacson ,
Applying for public assistance to feed your children in San Diego requires submitting to a search of your home by agents of the County's top prosecutor, District Attorney Bonnie M. Dumanis.
The ACLU of San Diego and Imperial Counties filed suit to stop Project 100%, arguing that the District Attorney’s invasions of homes of the poor violate the Fourth Amendment’s guarantee against unreasonable searches. When a district judge ruled that government agents going through an impoverished citizen’s bedroom closets and medicine cabinets looking for evidence does not even amount to a “search,” the ACLU filed an appeal to the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit.--Read More--

Seeking Solace in the Farce of Christianity
Jeff Graves,
Christianity continues to be a threat to freedom and democratic ideals. Alhtough many Atheists are coming "out-of-the-closet", insofar as their unbelief, there are still a plethora of Christian-Fascists who espouse a religious world view wherein any dissenter is condemned. This short essay is a philisophical reflection on the state of the Christian religion in U.S. politics...

Black Thursday
Mark Gabrish Conlan/Zenger’s Newsmagazine,
Two things that happened on Thursday, June 28 were so dire in their portents for America’s political future that the day may well go down in history as “Black Thursday.” First, the U.S. Supreme Court threw out two attempts to integrate public schools in Seattle and Louisville on the ground that school districts can’t make race a factor in assigning children to schools even to undo the effects of over a century of past discrimination against students of color. Then, the U.S. Senate overwhelmingly killed a bad immigration “reform” bill because of organized political pressure from talk-radio hosts and other members of the rabid Right because it wasn’t punitive enough against so-called “illegal” immigrants. These events are a wake-up call to people still naïve enough to think the results of the 2006 election are the beginning of a progressive revival.
