BATON-BASHED IN DENVER! IS THIS REALLY WHAT DEMOCRACY LOOKS LIKE?!

admin @ August 27, 2008 # No Comment Yet

There are characteristics essential to being a member of the peace and social justice organization, CODEPINK. Chief among them is compassion. One can hardly dedicate one’s life to improving the lives of others if there isn’t an abiding drive to help those in need. Thus, it was no surprise to those who know her when 24 year old CODEPINK member, Alicia Forrest, in search of the truth, used her camera to document the arrest of a young man swarmed and overpowered by Denver sheriffs during a demonstration in Denver.

From India: “Are We Really Free?”

admin @ August 19, 2008 # No Comment Yet

In India, freedom is an illusion. And unlike an elaborate hoax, this illusion is staring everyone in the face. People just refuse to see it and acknowledge it. They have no problems living under a nanny state that forces everyone to use seat-belts and helmets. Sure these save lives and should be worn by everyone traveling but the state shouldn’t be enforcing this on people. At most it can create awareness about these issues and let the people judge.

The Peace Movement Needs a Strategy For Afghanistan

admin @ August 18, 2008 # No Comment Yet

…in Afghanistan the peace movement has been missing in action. This has come back to hit us in the face during Barack Obama’s Middle East trip, where he called for sending 10,000 more troops to Afghanistan. John McCain, not to be one-upped in putting our young men and women in harm’s way, is also calling for an escalation of the Afghan war.

Story Brief: TRG, Corporate Responsibility, Union Busting?, and More

admin @ July 29, 2008 # No Comment Yet

We’ve been doing a good amount of scratching beneath the surface - sadly Niagara-based media thinks that “one phone call” is actually called “reporting”.

On Aug 2, the proposed date that former U.S. - owned TRG employees are to recieve their severence packages.

In the meantime we’re simply posting a “brief” so you have an idea of what to look for this coming Friday/Saturday.

BRIEF - the Situation So Far:

“MichCon/DTE, AT&T, Union Energy (Canada) , RBC Insurance, and Obama For President hired a company that was knowingly closing 2 offices in Ontario, putting 700+ people out of work.

Represented By the Int’l Steelworkers, the company hired by the above - TRG/Telespectrum - appear to be reneging on a contractual severence Agreement based on the July 23rd closure of the Office.

Approximately 100 workers at the St.Catharines office have been denied their severence package - leaving the Union to file a formal Grievance.

The cost of litigation can be high and can drag forever in “official channels”.

Almost NO Provincial and Federal Politicians have ‘reacted’ to the situation, holding out little hope that the American -owned TRG (based in Pennsylvania) will actually come through without forcing the Union into litigation.

Few others have spoken out, whereas NDP MPP Peter Kormos has at least sought to learn something of the background.

We have attempted to contact this company that is essentially an agent for the above named companies.
We have attempted to contact the Companies that have hired - and retain - contracts with TRG.

We have attempted to rec’v comment from Provincial and Federal reps in the cities that have seen a TRG office close.

Call to Action: General Strike Called for 9/11/08

admin @ July 26, 2008 # No Comment Yet

More and more people are calling for a General Strike, for a way to withdraw our support from a system which seems heedless to the will of the people. Our governmental representatives treat
us as if “We the Rabble” are to be ignored. One group, vote strike, is doing incredible and
substantive work in calling for a General Strike on 9/11/08, with smaller strikes and economic boycotts between now and then.

I urge you to consider this call to a General Strike, the use of non-violent resistance. It is a time-honored technique, possible beginning with “Lysistrata,” and effectively used several times in the
past one hundred years.

Perhaps the only effective action left to take now in order to stop the gears and levers of this lemming-like perpetual motion machine of destruction is—to do nothing. That’s right, nothing.
To go on strike.

Preview: Segment of 8 Part Interview w. Robert Young Pelton

admin @ July 18, 2008 # One Comment

The following interview w/ Robert Young Pelton was conducted for a radio program and for 2 European print magazines, both now defunct. However the information and clarity that Pelton offers during the course of the interview clarifies his position and reasons for writing Licensed to Kill:Hired Guns In The War On Terror.

Speaking candidly about Blackwater, Eric Prince, Sandline, Tim Spicer, media manipulation, marketing, and a wide array of subjects, we see why Pelton’s writing is often misinterpreted despite his own clarity. Many come to his work with their own preconcieved notions and try to superimpose their politics on his frank and honest reportage.

As once written in a brief for a 2002 interview with Salon.com,”Robert Young Pelton, author of “The World’s Most Dangerous Places,” says the U.S. military has killed “thousands and thousands” of people in Afghanistan, al-Qaida is a myth and the WTC was brought down by a “Mickey Mouse” outfit.”

Pelton would know however. He has been there.
