S.W. | CLINTON, OBAMA AND THE IRAQ WAR By Jack A. Smith | Clinton and Obama each maintain that if elected they will immediately take steps to end the war in Iraq. But there is good reason to look at the fine print of their programs very carefully. Neither will end it quickly nor bring all the troops home. more... 0 Comments 13 organizations demand Waldorf-Astoria cancel "Friends of IDF" fundraiser
Adalah-NY | As thirteen organizations working for human rights, social justice, and peace, we demand that The Waldorf-Astoria Hotel in Manhattan rescind its agreement to host the March 18 fundraiser for “Friends of the Israel Defense Forces.” The Israeli military has been historically a flagrant violator of human rights and international law as demonstrated by last week’s attack on Gaza which killed over 100 Palestinians, the 2006 attack on Lebanon, and the 60-year assault on and dispossession of the Palestinian people.

New York Sex Worker Organizations Respond to Spitzer Scandal
SWANK & SWOP-NYC | New York, NY - In the last few days, Governor Eliot Spitzer has publicly admitted to being associated with an escort agency and is considering resignation. As sex worker advocates, we are concerned about the representation and fate of "Kristen" and sex workers who are being thrust into the spotlight because of the investigation into the Governor. We also share the widespread concern for Governor Spitzer's family.

Wafaa escaped from Iraq in the early 1990's risking his life by crossing the Iraq/Kuwait border and is now a professor at the School of Art Institute of Chicago. He was invited to RPI as part of the art department artist residency program and is exhibiting a work entitled "Virtual Jihadi" that consists of a "hacked" version of another commercial video game called "Quest for Saddam." In the real game players target the ex-Iraqi leader, in Wafaa's modified version the artist casts himself as a suicide bomber who gets sent on a mission to assassinate President Bush Jr. more... 0 Comments McKinney Campaign Weekly Update: Premier Issue

Carlos Ortiz de Zárate | Vivía en Francia cuando se estrenó la película de Fernando Arrabal y la visión de la misma me produjo mucho malestar. El discurso de los medios de comunicación españoles, desde que todos los partidos acordaran la suspensión de la campaña electoral de hoy por el atentado cometido, presuntamente, por ETA, en Mondragón (Arrasate), me parece aún más nauseabundo que la película.

Adalah-NY | Issa Mikel, a spokesperson for Adalah-NY - the group that has organized eight protests outside Leviev’s Manhattan jewelry store since it opened last November - commented, “Leviev’s responses were disingenuous and troubling. Leviev neglected to mention that his company Leader is building the settlement of Zufim, that he is a major donor to a company that acquires Palestinian land for settlements, and that all Israeli settlements violate international law. Leviev also portrayed his company’s monopoly over Gaza’s fuel supply as somehow charitable. Finally, as independent human rights activists, we challenge Leviev to provide evidence to support the completely false accusation he made that we have any relationship with or are “funded by business competitors.” Anarcolas Linaretes | its time for peace and love more... 0 Comments Anarcolas Linaretes | Mini ensayo, con imagenes acerca de la marcha en contra de los crimenes del paramilitarismo y el terrorismo de estado el dia 6 de marzo del 2008. more... 0 Comments South American anarchists and anti-militarists say NO to war Anarquistas y antimilitaristas | * The threat of armed conflict involving the governments of Colombia, Ecuador and Venezuela has mobilized anarchists and anti-militarists across the continent, in words and in action, to repudiate what would be a monstrous aggression by state powers against our peoples.

At the same time, most people have accepted the conventional wisdom that such change isn't really possible. That revolution and communism have been tried and failed, or even that they;'ve led to disaster. People's dreams of a different and better way of life have been diverted back into praying for something better in some afterlife. Or sucked down to backing Obama's campaign to become the new face for the U.S. empire by his talk of hope and change. more... 3 Comments Page 157 |
