  • Information Education is the Key to Social Justics and Peace
    22 May 2005 par (Open-Publishing)
    1 comment

    If one is to observe our commercial culture from the perspective ot education and information exchange it can be seen clearly that a social world agenda exists and it is not one of world peace.
    From toy stores filled with action figures all ready to attack the "bad guys", movies filled with the acceptance of social violence, and politcial leaders being financially motivated to invade terrorist nations it can be seen that "war" and "social conflict" is part of the accepted and sponsered (…)

    ‘Don’t it always seem to go that you don’t know what you’ve got ’til it’s gone’
    By John Kaminski skylax@comcast.net
    Mornings on my porch these days are exquisite. I pry myself from my bed and shuffle out into paradise in this (what I call) cool Florida spring. Every day starts out at 70 degrees. Sun flashes through the dense foliage, creating lush shadows and undulating sunbeams flecked with shimmering dust motes. The mockingbird symphony (somewhere between Vaughn Williams and Wagner, I (…)

    AMY GOODMAN: He is an historian and author of one of the most popular books on American history, A People’s History of the United States. But before we go to him, we’re turning to an excerpt of a new film that chronicles his life. It’s titled, You Can’t Be Neutral on a Moving Train, which is also the title of his autobiography. The film is produced by First Run Features. It’s narrated by Howard Zinn’s next door neighbor, actor Matt Damon.
    HOWARD ZINN: We grow up in a controlled society. (…)

    introduction
    by Matt Lechien
    Prelude
    Before going further on this file, it’s important for you to know what’s being prepared concerning biodiesel production.
    Being a biodiesel activist is very respectful, as long as there is a logic behind it. As we will see in this prelude, there exist some very environment friendly biodiesel, but also some which isn’t at all. Politicians and industrials from ages have long shown their cynism and blindness concerning energy acquisition. It will (…)

    Thank you for joining us on Catalyst Radio.
    Would you start by talking about some general issues surrounding globalization.
    Dr. Vandana Shiva: Well those of use who are concerned about the globalization that has been contrived and yet made to look as if it is a natural evolutionary step, we are concerned about the injustice and undemocratic system on which it is based.
    And everything we said, fifteen years ago, when these rules were being put in place, very artificially, under GAT (…)

    Workers arriving at the Caterpillar - Perkins site in Irlam, Greater Manchester this morning were surprised, first by a 30 foot yellow banner with an acrylic image of a Palestinian, head in hands, whose house is being demolished by a Cat bulldozer while an Israeli soldier stands guard. The spray-painted text proclaims "Stop Caterpillar... Palestine... House Demolitions... Apartheid Wall... Perkins... 100% owned by Caterpillar... Israeli Tank Deal".

  • Making Congress Listen: A new focus for the antiwar movement
    25 March 2005 par (Open-Publishing)
    1 comment

    There is growing agreement among antiwar activists that the Bush administration’s two main political vulnerabilities on Iraq are personnel issues and the cost of the war. To the extent that we agree on this, we need to devise strategies and tactics that aim at those vulnerabilities.
    There is much good organizing on the first issue to celebrate, strengthen, and continue:

    Growing counter-recruitment work and conscientious objector support; *

  • Noam Chomsky ... still furious at 76

    By Alan Taylor
    ON my way to meet Noam Chomsky in Boston, I pick up a copy of The American Prospect, whose cover features snarling caricatures of US Vice-President Dick Cheney, and of Chomsky: the man dubbed by Bono “the Elvis of academia”. Cheney is presented as the proverbial bull in an international china shop, Chomsky is portrayed by this “magazine of liberal intelligence” as the epitome of high- minded dove-ish, misguided idealism. Chomsky, of course, is well used to such attacks. For (…)

    By Manuel Valenzuela
    "Information Clearing House"
    The Fundamentalist Threat
    To live in Murka is to see firsthand its degeneration into an emerging Christian theocracy, with its collection of televangelists, cult leaders, mullahs and Taliban, nothing more than corruption-filled, hypocrite-behaving, masterminds of pervasive ignorance, false prophets and preachers drunk off the liquor of fundamentalist thought misguiding tens of millions of lost souls through the chalice (…)
