Is Iran Next? What can the average person do to stop a new war with Iran? Jenny Anderson 2007-03-17 4:19 PM

Marches, petitions, calls, and faxes to congress are important channels for political action, but what could possibly stop a new war with Iran? One has to wonder, are our congressional leaders even reading their faxes? A notable website called www.isirannext.org recently published over 80 names and organizations of people whom directly influence policy and the president. Maybe through side channels, average Americans can get their message through. (image/jpeg + 1 comment)

Official Statement of Friends of Kevin! www.myspace.com/freekevinjohnson 2007-03-13 1:49 AM
THE CASE SO FAR In July 2005, 12-year-old Joseph "Bam Bam" Long collapsed on the floor of his house in Kirkwood (St. Louis County). Police, slow to respond to his family's 911 calls, finally arrived, and then, neglecting to even check his pulse, simply stood around waiting for an ambulance while Bam Bam lay face down. Upon arrival, paramedics pronounced him dead. Hours later, one of those cops, Sgt. William McEntee, lay dead in a pool of his own blood several blocks from Bam Bam's house. Authorities swarmed the Meacham Park neighborhood kicking in doors and terrorizing residents. Days later, desperate to blame someone, police arrested Bam Bam's older brother, Kevin Johnson. In the lead up to Kevin's March 26th (2007) trial, the state has been going to great lengths to portray Kevin as a monster- accusing him, his family, and his friends of interfering with witnesses. The state and its courts have made their intentions clear: they plan to execute Kevin. What should be abundantly clear by now, though, is it's not Kevin who's the monster. The state is the real monster. (text/plain)

Anticapitalist video: Memory, Dignity And Struggle La Plataforma 2007-02-17 3:58 PM

The Spanish “Transition to democracy” was simply a way to fortify the capitalist economic model. With such Transition, the Spanish dominant class eliminated all sort of social resistance and opened the way for business; they made a Francoism without Franco and presented the Transition as a triumph of the people. It was a history written by the owners of money and their fascist sentries. But Memory, Dignity and Struggle continue (image/jpeg)

Brazil: Henrique Meirelles faces the tornado at CBB. Pedro A. Xavier 2007-02-09 2:04 PM
Lula prefers that Meirelles stays but syntonized with him. The PT prefers to see Meirelles out. In the absence of Palocci, he guaranteed the depressive growth of the economy in the the last four years. (text/plain)

Free Speech Victory! Permits Secured for Pentagon Demonstration Lacecase 2007-02-08 6:12 PM

The last thing that Bush and the Pentagon high command want is a mass march on the Pentagon on the 40th anniversary of the historic 1967 March on the Pentagon. The powerful symbolism of a March on the Pentagon is something that the war-makers fear and want to divert. (image/jpeg)

The irish down-under jimtravers 2007-02-08 3:56 PM
Can we ignore the signals that are as relevant in Ireland as anywhere else. As two countries enter the EU in 2007 are we nuturing the seeds of racial tension by opening our borders to people who wish to import their ways and culture into our society.Are we ignoring the threat of Islamic terrorism by endeavouring to be politically correct when dealing with asylum seekers, refugees and others entering this country. Is it time for change and a time to take stock of the ways in which we allow people freely enter this country? (text/plain)

An Irish supporters nightmare The match between the Republic of Ireland and San Marion has given us the space to reflect on our beliefs that what we thought in the past has now come true. Ireland was terrible at any standards and deserved to walk away with nothing more than a loss. (text/plain)

SIGN THE PETITION NOW! Paul King 2007-02-02 7:52 PM
FILMMAKERS & AUDIENCES: PETITION THE MPAA FOR BETTER RATINGS! The Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA), a trade association, defines itself "as the voice and advocate of the American motion picture industry." But its rating system for films impacts much more than the industry. MPAA ratings affect a film's distribution and thus its financial success; this, in turn, limits what kinds of movies get made and what people get to see at the local movie theater. The rating system was designed to provide information to parents and movie-goers, but it too often results in arbitrary, inconsistent, and unreasonable decisions, which chill filmmakers' creative freedom and keep films away from audiences.
