  • Sheehan Arrested in Impeachment Protest
    24 July 2007 par (Open-Publishing)

    Anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan was arrested Monday at the Capitol for disorderly conduct, shortly after saying she would run against House Speaker Nancy Pelosi over the California Democrat’s refusal to try to impeach President Bush.
    Sheehan was taken into custody inside Rep. John Conyers’ office, where she had spent an hour imploring him to launch impeachment proceedings against Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney. Conyers, D-Mich., chairs the House Judiciary Committee, where any (…)

  • So You Want To Be A Rock and Roll Star
    19 July 2007 par (Open-Publishing)

    So you want to be a rock and roll star, then listen now to what I say, Just get an electric guitar Then take some time and learn how to play. That’s the myth anyway, it permeates all aspects of our society even in rebellious rock and roll. The myth that says trust capitalism and all will be well.
    I’m a big fan of Michael Moore, from Roger and Me through TV Nation where he once passed out hunter orange wallets to black men on the streets of New York City to help eliminate police shootings. (…)

    The Yes Men!!! Amazing funny warriors of Truth
    The story follows Andy and Mike from their beginnings with GWBush.com (read the whole story of GWBush.com here http://www.rtmark.com/bush.html ), and on to their tasteless parody of the WTO’s website http://www.gatt.org ). Some visitors don’t notice the site is a fake, and send speaking invitations meant for the real WTO. Mike and Andy play along with the ruse and soon find themselves attending important functions as WTO representatives. (…)

  • Overgrown Kids, Unshackled Ids, and the Death of the Superego
    10 July 2007 par (Open-Publishing)

    by Jason Miller
    "Children are completely egoistic; they feel their needs intensely and strive ruthlessly to satisfy them." Sigmund Freud
    Frightening as it may be, the Earth’s fate rests in the hands of children. With incredibly formidable military firepower at its disposal, the United States could catalyze Armageddon at any time. And while they may be adults chronologically, our sociopolitical structure is dominated by emotional infants.
    Nietzsche once pronounced God dead. In the (…)

  • Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Personal Gratification

    “Here There Be Monsters”
    Essay by Jason Miller
    “America does not go abroad in search of monsters to destroy.”
    While it certainly was not his intent, Adams’ assertion serves to remind us of a truth revealed by vast oceans of tears, torrential rivers of blood, and formidable piles of human remains. Leaving murder, mayhem, and misery in its wake, America does “go abroad,” but not, as Adams noted, “in search of monsters to destroy.” What Adams failed to perceive, despite living in the (…)

    Toward a New Environmental Movement Time to kick out the corporate bastards By Jeffrey St. Clair and Joshua Frank Published: Thursday July 5th, 2007
    The environmental movement is on life support. Some would say it is already dead. Even though climate change and Al Gore are fast becoming the conversation du jour around the American dinner table, it also happens to be the rallying cry for do-gooder conservationists and corporations alike.
    Call it the eco-economy. Virtually all major (…)

    Technical progress and spiritual development
    Human beings are using technological progress to benefit their greed, with the risk of destroying the very basis of their existence on earth. This is why technological progress is not truly progress. Of course it is really quite something to be able to send craft into space and to other planets. But at the end of the day, what is the purpose of all this? To exploit the resources and cause the same damage as here on earth? To fight in space? To (…)

    An Open Letter to America: Now Is The Time For Us To Stand Up and Stand Together by Rev. Lennox Yearwood, Jr.
    July 2, 2007
    My Fellow Americans:
    The power of our voices against the U.S. occupation of Iraq is reaching the top echelons of the military and the administration. Our government is persecuting Americans who speak out against the U.S. military presence in Iraq. The U.S. military has launched politicized attacks on its own (…)

    September 15 — Turn Up the Heat in Washington DC! Calendar of upcoming anti-war events
    We want to thank the thousands of people and many organizations that have responded to ANSWER’s May 31 Proposal to the Anti-War Movement. The essence of the proposal is for all the anti-war coalitions and organizations to come together to mobilize the largest single mass march on Washington DC under the demand End the War Now! Most anti-war activists support this idea. At the national level some (…)
