confrontation
at the WTO ....
Korean
farmers were at the frontlines forming a blockcade
only broken when they agreed to peacefully surrender to Hong Kong police,
late in the evening after a strategy of protest lasting
throughout the day.
'Sinagbayan'

during the Peoples Camp & Rice Festival highlighting the WTO & the ill-effects of the “Agreement on Agriculture”
is a grassroots cultural organization of alternative artists based in the
Philippines, just one of the various actions against the status quo of
the WTO.

global response to areas
in crisis still lacking
in measured resources ... at the core of this criticism is not only that more could be done but a
suggestion to set up a
permanent global response team to evaluate & form an adequate reply
to disasters or global events that require efforts that reach beyond
the resources of local & regional governments .. furthermore the UN
suggestion that relief would have to stop when funding runs out is like a
corporation not being able to secure more funds when necessary to continue
operations .. with tens of thousands of lives on the line we must find new
ways to work out the problems that confront the mission ...
march
to the front ..
HALF TRUTHS ARE SOMETIMES BETTER THAN NO TRUTHS .. HALF A MILLION STRONG
ATTEND RALLY AT THE CAPITAL ... it seems that the corporate press cannot report the truth even when confronted with empirical
evidence .. inaccurate reporting of tens of thousands by national news
outlets when in fact discussion at the scene resolved the attendance at
around 500,000 troubles this reporter .. 'all the truth that's fit to
print' is no longer the standard that the media holds high .. on the other
side the troubling cover of 'the independent' makes it hard for some to
look at the truth .. let's not sugar coating anything except sore throats
and/or almonds .. distortions add to a national divide that gets wider each & every day .. the pressure is building & this
outlet is carefully reviewing its processes to better serve a community
that wants a filter that clearly sees the truth even when clouded by
hidden agendas ed/marcos
beware of warlocks on
the warpath the
upcoming rally will send one million kids around & around the capital
shouting 'stop the War' will our voices be heard this time or fall on deaf
ears once again .. only time will tell .. rocking the city with a musical
concert not heard since the 'chili peppers' closed the show at RFK .. the
streets ate ours for the weekend .. let's leave them cleaner & smarter
then when we came to town .. legal #'s -- action medical .. on the way
This is
beyond belief, the US
has lost its way as the
current crisis in Louisiana proves as time goes by. In the
beginning, what did the state and US governments do except issue
evacuation orders, what was done during the days before the storm hit,
where was the plan to reinforce Lake Pontchartrain, where was the national
guard, where was the pre-plan. "What failed were actually floodwalls .. caused by fast moving category 3 hurricane. Katrina was a strong 4 at landfall, and conditions exceeded the design"
Army Corps of Engineers
US federal troops
should be out working on the relief effort for the victims, protecting the life & liberty of the citizens of New
Orleans. Images of our national guard with shotguns instead of helping
hands has just put my belief in America to the test.
I've had enough of
President Bush at military rallies, standing at public events with
generals at his side, just what kind of democracy have we allowed
ourselves to be part of, when will we as Americans come to our senses,
demanding that our representative government respond to our collective
voices. 
Antiwar
March in Washington now united as
the two major coalitions that initiated and organized a March on Washington
have agreed to
a joint rally followed by a joint march. Both coalitions will organize under
their own banners & slogans. We urge everyone around the country to
come out for the antiwar demonstration on September 24.
The text was signed on the same line, by ANSWER and United for Peace
& Justice. Operation Ceasefire has a 3pm concert planned at the
Washington Monument. www.opceasefire.org
The nightmare
continues  with the illegal and immoral U.S. invasion of Iraq a once sovereign nation, now in ruins under the military and corporate occupation of the United
States ... U.S. promises to rebuild have not been kept and many Iraqis still lack
clean water, electricity, and most importantly personal safety.
A majority of Americans now believe that this war never should have happened
... elected representatives in Washington continue to rubber-stamp the Bush Administration's disastrous Iraq
policies ... giving the Pentagon nearly unrestricted access to our tax
dollars & military recruiters nearly unrestricted access to our schools
... at a time when our vital social programs are eroding an overwhelming majority in Congress recently approved $82 billion in war
funding & there's already talk of another $50 billion appropriation this fall.
It's time to hold all pro-war politicians accountable for the deaths, the destruction, the lies, and the toll on our communities!
Join United for Peace
& Justice in Washington.
Protesters
clash with security forces in
Scotland today, the opening day of the G8 summit. Various groups planning to blockade the
summit by demonstrating outside the Gleneagles hotel have met with police
protecting the G8 from the global community calling for change in the way
we conduct our lives on planet earth. Actions
& demonstrations are planned throughout Scotland & communities
around the globe. http://www.indymedia.org.uk/en/actions/2005/g8

Kruger
will not be destroying this wilderness
as a Quebec Superior Court has forbid it from logging
Rene-Levasseur Island in northeastern Quebec.
Let's
step back in time say 214 million years ago
to the Mesozoic era, the first dinosaurs
have recently appeared. They will reign for approximately 150 Million years, the
earth is a very different place, with only one continent that we call Pangea.
An immense meteorite descends on earth, the impact crater is flooded to
become the Manic 5 dam's reservoir, forming what we now know as
 the Rene-Levasseur
Island. A geological event that should be left undisturbed,
the crater has long been
surrounded by many lakes and rivers, but it is during the sixties that the
island's appearance changed the Manic 5 dam artificially raised the water level
(for it's reservoir) to create an Island. An ancient forest, the
Rene-Levasseur abutts an old growth
forest.
