    Valid Outrage
    by Manuel Valenzuela
    If you are still upset at the resounding defeat of humanity that occurred on November 2, 2004 you have every right to be. On that day billions of us lost a most important battle through both the vote of the ignorant, unenlightened among us and the systemic fraudulent manipulation of electronic-voting machines which, it is becoming more and more apparent, helped steal victory, for the second time in four years, for George W. Bush and the (…)

  • The Election Pig of 2004
    9 November 2004 par (Open-Publishing)

    by Wayne Besen
    Not even the fabulous RuPaul could find a shade of lipstick glamorous enough to pretty up Tuesday night’s election pig. The excruciating defeat was an unmitigated disaster for the GLBT community. With the Supreme Court thrown into the equation, there is the very real possibility that some aspects of the movement could be set back decades. Many of my good friends and colleagues are depressed, even despondent, as they well should be. A couple of buddy’s are even thinking of (…)

  • Drumbeat Windows:
    4 November 2004 par (Open-Publishing)

    The rain falls striking windows, I can hear it drumming behind me, The sky is black nighted the color of lightless clouds, There is nothing in my eyes save a candlelit prayer, Something held cherished in memory, I am in constant effort to see, Anything alive in these drumbeat windows.

  • Swallowing Lump Coal:
    4 November 2004 par (Open-Publishing)

    Choking bursting gagging, Eyes fill and heart breaks, Coal the lying diamond lies in my throat, Unmoving uncaring and heartless, Somehow I must will have to, Spit it out.

  • The Long March...and the Million Worker March
    2 November 2004 par (Open-Publishing)

    By JOANN WYPIJEWSKI
    History and its symbols having been central in conceptualizing the demonstration for jobs, peace and human needs that took place at the Lincoln Memorial on a crisp afternoon this past October 17, it is worth casting the mind back a bit before proceeding with our story of that event, recalling first the organizational finesse and political discipline of this latest demonstration’s most famous forebear (depicted on its fliers and literature), the 1963 March on Washington (…)

    Dear Friends,
    This is it. ONE DAY LEFT. There are many things I’d like to say. I’ve been on the road getting out the vote for 51 straight days so I haven’t had much time to write. So I’ve put together a bunch of notes to various groups all in this one letter. Please feel free to copy and send whatever portions are appropriate to your friends and family as you spend these last 24 hours trying to convince whomever you can to show up and vote for John Kerry.
    Here are my (…)

  • Global Eye : Hysterica Passio
    1 November 2004 par (Open-Publishing)

    By Chris Floyd
    Now we come at last to the heart of darkness. Now we know, from their own words, that the Bush Regime is a cult — a cult whose god is Power, whose adherents believe that they alone control reality, that indeed they create the world anew with each act of their iron will. And the goal of this will — undergirded by the cult’s supreme virtues of war, fury and blind faith — is likewise openly declared: "Empire." You think this is an exaggeration? Then heed the words of the White (…)

    “It is not only by shooting bullets in the battlefields that tyranny is overthrown, but also by hurling ideas of redemption, words of freedom and terrible anathemas against the hangmen that people bring down dictators and empires.”
    Emiliano Zapata, Mexican revolutionary, 1914
    The new century is three days old when the Mexican army encampment of Amadór Hernandez, nestled deep in the Lacandón jungle of Chiapas (…)

  • Defence hot and bothered over Fahrenheit 9/11
    27 July 2004 par (Open-Publishing)

    By Tom Allard
    The Australian Defence Force stands accused of censorship after it banned the showing of the inflammatory anti-war blockbuster Fahrenheit 9/11 on military bases, despite requests direct to the distributor from serving personnel.
    The film’s distributor, Hopscotch, confirmed yesterday that a soldier had approached it for a copy of Michael Moore’s film to show at a military base cinema.
    Hopscotch offered it free and the immediate superiors of the soldier - who worked (…)
