Despite U.S. Threats, Voters Return Sandinistas To Power Steven Argue 2006-11-14 2:03 AM

The Sandinista revolution, upon coming to power in 1979, confiscated the land that had been held by the Somoza family and some of his closet cronies and redistributed it to the poor that worked it partly through establishing collectively run state farms. The Sandinistas also made literacy and healthcare a priority. Easily treated diseases that Somoza let kill and maim, such as polio, were vaccinated against and eliminated. Teaching everyone to read and write became a priority in the country where Somoza once declared he wanted “… uneducated people, little more than beasts of burden.” (image/jpeg)

Rebuilding New Orleans one volunteer at a time Brian Denzer 2006-11-12 12:15 AM
In order to prevent a proliferation of flooded properties from turning into permanently blighted properties, New Orleans' Good Neighbor policy requires homeowners to show a good faith effort that they are caring for their properties by gutting their homes and clearing their yards of overgrowth. For tens of thousands of residents who can't physically or financially comply, scores of volunteers are trying to help -- but the waiting lists are months long. Swarthmore College students Melissa Grigsby and Loretta Gary recently came down to New Orleans to help gut houses in the Lower Ninth Ward for the Common Ground Collective. 16:37, 7.8 mb, 64 kbps.

Protesting Iraq war, a Chicago man sets self on fire and dies. boingboing/Ed Ward, MD 2006-11-10 9:51 AM
Sleep well brave and proud American freedom lovers. Many are dying so that you can sit fat, happy and ignorant watching the government propagandized media, or cower in fear of from some trivial sacrifice to yourself. The 'ME' generations. I'm looking forward to the two most likely devastations - the tremendous drop in the dollar and rising oceans. It seems nothing upsets our lazy gutless public until it affects them personally.

The Anti-War Movement Sourced the Democrats’ Victory! William Hughes 2006-11-09 10:52 AM

The Democratic Party, read “The War Lite” Party, is basking in the glow of victory today. It has regained control of the House of Representatives, and the U.S. Senate for the first time in 12-years. The two issues that it won on-The Iraqi War and the whacky persona of President George W. Bush-had little or nothing to do with the Democratic Party. Those two matters were actually sourced by activists in the Anti-Iraqi War Movement! (image/jpeg)

2007 NCOR Event Details & Call for Proposals Julie 2006-11-08 3:30 PM
The National Conference of Organized Resistance is an annual event that brings together people from all backgrounds for a weekend of learning and discussing local and international social justice issues through workshops, panel discussions, and skillshares. We are currently seeking workshop proposals for the 10th Annual NCOR, held March 9-11, 2007 at American University in Washington, D.C. The 2006 conference was a tremendous success, with 80 workshops and almost 2,000 registered participants. We hope to make the 2007 conference an even more vibrant and stimulating experience. NCOR is shaped as much by the people who attend as the people who run it. As volunteers, as workshop leaders, as discussion participants, you create NCOR. We hope you will join us to help make NCOR 2007 an inclusive and diverse forum for global resistance. (text/plain)

City of New Orleans, LA & 36 Other State's Elections Fixed Ed Ward, MD 2006-11-03 2:23 AM
(Also see HBO special on "Hacking Democracy" on November 2, 2006, to see just some of the proven tyranny of this government regarding our so called 'elections'. The elections are nothing more than a sham-scam. The information presenteed in this article and also documented in "Hacking America" has been hidden by the media for at least 12 years. Wake up, Get Up and Get Active. The corporate media will not inform you on its complicity. "Tests performed and videotaped by candidate Susan Barnecker in New Orleans in 1994 demonstrated that votes she cast for herself were electronically recorded for her opponent - 15 machines in a row - documented in "Hacking Democracy".

Lieberman has also been the recipient of a massive Republican Party fundraising operation linked to Mel Sembler and the Odigo Mossad printing press .
