If you have, or need, a Cal Driv License or ID get it this week at DMV.
In 2005 the plan is complete biometric surveillance and monitoring + RFID
So if you are happy with the mere photo and thumbprint, this is your last chance.
You can get a license, $10, and an ID $6 in case you lose one or both.
see: "Your papers please!" below for more police state

PATRIOT ACT I and II are NULL and VOID
Any law that is repugnant to the Constitution of the United States
of America is NULL and VOID. Marburry v. Madison -1803

HINT: if a law is so repugnant they have to slip it through congress so fast no one can read it,
knowing that any knowledge of its contents would repulse the citizenry, that law is not binding.

will all need alternative media devices, the iranian
revolution against the shah(USA) was powered by simple tape
cassettes as a means of communicating between groups as the
phones were all bugged and public meetings prohibited....so
media: sharpies/sign paper wire etc, as well as blank CD's even
cassettes or dv tapes for documenting the abuses of the
military/police/fbi that will no doubt occur.,don't forget extra
batteries for your night vision devices...ways of protecting
stuff:think large pvc pipes,w/endcaps and glue to bury
stuff(info,plans, group info, prohibited stuff of unimaginable
origin(use your imagination). ..broadcasting equipment of all
sorts: walkie talkies,CB radios, pirate radio/tv stuff, meds
antibiotics, water filter/treatment gear, shovels, gas masks
,changes of clothes,business camo as well as police jumpsuits
for passing unnoticed in the new police state(if ya can't beat
em fake like you're joining them)any and all self defense
weaponry that your conscience and relative skill level dictate
along with tools....alternative barter "currency" meaning
readily liquidated stuff: in the past this could be gold coins
from other countries, jewels/gems, and in those underground
economies where the banks are shut or controlled such things as
guns and ammunition are the most easily traded currency(also the
most volatile and outlawed=valuable and liquid, calibers 9mm, 22
long, .223 military being especially generic and prized....if
these obvious items are out of your karmic sphere of possibility
try to stockpile bactrim and other wide spectrum antibiotics as
well as pain killers and medical/surgical supplies,
scalpels/sutures and handbooks for their use...the list goes
on,don't forget the basic earthquake kit stuff: food and water
for each person for two weeks....I swaer officer, it's just my
burningman supplies....XXX

Cost of driving
What would it cost to drive if the price tag of gas and cars included air pollution, road construction and maintenance; property taxes lost from land cleared for freeways; free parking paid for by taxes; noise and vibration damage to structures; protection of petroleum supply lines; sprawl and loss of transportation options; auto accidents; and congestion? A number of researchers have tried to answer this question, and John Holtzclaw of the Sierra Club profiled eight studies that, when averaged, estimated the true price of gas at $6.05 a gallon.
As for vehicles, transportation analyst Todd Litman has calculated that the external costs of driving would add $42,363 to the sticker price of a shiny new car, based on a 12.5 year lifespan.

ACTION ALERT: PROFESSOR CANNED FOR RELEASING PAPER ON CORN CONTAMINATION
A well-respected and popular professor at the University of California in
Berkeley has been fired after publishing a scientific paper regarding the
uncontrolled contamination of irreplaceable native Mexican corn varieties by
genetically engineered corn. Dr. Ignacio Chapela, whose corn contamination article was
published in the science journal "Nature," was denied his tenure due to
pressure from the biotech company Monsanto on the University (the UC Berkeley
tenure review panel had actually voted almost unanimously to approve his tenure).
Professor Chapela has been told to have his office cleaned out by December 31.
Sign a petition to demand a review of Dr. Chapela's tenure denial. Sign

“Your Papers Please”
US adopts National ID: Homeland Security Now In charge of Regulations for all US States Drivers Licenses and Birth Certificates
By: Jonathan Wheeler December 9, 2004
http://www.whatdoesitmean.com/index575.htm

In a chilling act more reminiscent of the now defunct Soviet Union or the Nazi regime of Adolph Hitler, the United States Congress passed legislation yesterday that requires the States to surrender their regulatory rights over driver’s licenses and birth certificates to The Department of Homeland Security.

The massive US Intelligence Reform Bill weighed in at over 3,000 pages and though unread by individual Members of either the House or Senate nevertheless passed all of the legislative hurdles needed in order to become law.

President Bush lobbied hard for these provisions, only objecting when Senator Sensenbrenner attempted to require these same provisions for illegal aliens but which the President opposed. This provision was dropped from the final bill.

Beginning in 2005, the Department of Homeland Security will issue new uniformity regulations to the States requiring that all Drivers Licenses and Birth Certificates meet minimal Federal Standards with regard to US citizen information, including biometric security provisions.

Added to currently existing Federal Laws and Supreme Court rulings American citizens when born will be issued a Social Security Number that will be included on their Birth Certificates, along with DNA biometric markers. All birth certificates will also be registered in a Federal Government database maintained by the Department of Homeland Security. No child will be allowed enrollment to schools or be entitled to either State of Federal Government benefits programs without first presenting a certified Homeland Security registered Birth Certificate.

Drivers Licenses will also contain DNA biometric markers and include the holders Social Security Number and be required for receiving and applying for all State and Federal benefits programs. Previous Supreme Court rulings have also upheld State and Federal Law Enforcement authorities right to request Identification from any American citizen, for any reason and at any time as not being violations of their, the citizens, constitutionally protected rights.

Major Banks and credit card companies have applauded the adoption of a National ID system as being important to counter fraud and increasing instances of identity theft. National ID cards with biometric markers will eliminate them from having to issue Credit and Debit cards, which for the first time in US history have surpassed the usage of checks and cash. Utilizing The Department of Homeland Securities centralized federal database, Banks and credit card companies will only require the presentation of a citizens Driver’s License to make purchases as all of the persons financial information, including credit and cash balances, will already be known in ‘real time’. (The combining of Homeland Security and Banking databases on citizen’s balances and purchases, along with their past and present purchasing information, has been allowed under previous Federal Laws including the Patriot Act.)

Also included in this bill is a law to require The Department of Homeland Security to establish a separate ID system for citizens to use prior to boarding airplanes, and which is eerily reminiscent of the Soviet and Nazi regimes dreaded Internal Passport.

Never before in our history have the words of Benjamin Franklin been so correct when he stated: "people willing to trade their freedom for temporary security deserve neither and will lose both".

Today, December 9, 2004 will be one of those moments in time that future historians will look back on and pin point as being the day that the United States of American, and as it was founded by its forefathers, ceased to exist.

# Wed Dec 22


# Greetings from the Infinite:

<> We here at the Kaos pad are still adjusting to the post-"election"
aftermath. Not that we entertained any thoughts that the Bush regime
were going to secede the office by any means, no, now we're just
battening down the hatches, reading the Patriot Act II while kissing the
last of the Constitution goodbye, imagining what the Supreme Court will
look like with four Bush appointees and kissing Roe vs Wade goodbye. No
folks, it's not pretty, but it's not over, in fact there's even some
merit in feeling optimistic. Kerry did not represent any real change.
To put it in the words of Bill Hicks: "Politics in America. The puppet
on the left represents my ideals. The puppet on the right hand doesn't
represent my ideals. Hey! Both hands belong to the same body!" Kerry
voted for the PATRIOT Act. He voted for the resolution against Iraq.
He belongs to the same secret society as Bush. He was instrumental in
covering up the CIA's nastiness in Iran-Contra. He could also lull the
recently awakened back to sleep for the next four or eight years, while
still ushering in the agenda of the ruling elite. The Bush Regime may
be the catalyst to change the face of American politics. Their
recklessness and complete disregard for truth and justice will
eventually land them criminal indictments. The corruption that is
entrenched within our political system will be exposed. This corruption
runs deeper than the Bush Administration; it has facilitated the illegal
wars on Afghanistan and Iraq, the September 11 attacks, Iran-Contra, the
assassinations of Martin Luther King and the Kennedy brothers, etc.,
etc. <>
*
4 MORE YEARS: WHAT NOW?*

<>* *The Conscious Sound Collective hosts an evening of community,
discussion, art, performance, and music. Film: Osama, the first film to
come from Post-Taliban Afghanistan. Zack the Azorian Portugese
minstrel; Rob Arnow from the San Francisco Green Party; 9-11 Truth
Alliance; and Solace International's bazaar, featuring fair-trade
imports from Afghanistan. Proceeds go to building schools in
Afghanistan. Let your holiday shopping benefit people who truly need it
instead of corporate America. Dj Chris Sia and other guest artists to
be announced. <>

When: Wednesday, Dec 22, 7pm-midnight
Where: Infinite Kaos, 136 Taylor Street
Cost: Free

# SF Rope Bondage Peer Workshop
Wednesday, December 22 7:30 PM
upstairs at Madame S 7th and Folsom http://www.sfrope.org
Whether you've never tied a knot or have been using rope for years, show up, practice, learn at your own pace from your peers, learn out of a book, or learn what it feels like to be on both sides of the rope. Come alone or bring a friend!
As the night of the November SF Rope Bondage Peer Workshop falls on the night before Thanksgiving, I'm going to cancel the workshop for this month. I'm sure many people will be busy with other arrangements.
HOWEVER, for those of you who will be staying in the SF/Bay Area for Thanksgiving, I am planning to attend the Thanksgiving celebration at the Citadel. As a holiday treat, I am willing to speak, demonstrate and instruct on the topic of turkey trussing, i.e. hog-tying, for anyone who shows up and has the inclination.
If you wish to come to the Citadel Thanksgiving, detail can be found at http://www.sfcitadel.org
Catch you all again in December! - Rae

### Sat Dec 25

# Sat Dec 25 Charlemagne Coronation Morning
SF Golden Gate Park Lakes Hike 10:00 A.M.
Lack of hunks and hunklettes under the morning tree, or simply not up
for shredding non-biodegradable paper under a dead tree today? Join
Jonathon Eros in celebrating Charlemagne's 800 A.D. coronation with a
flat, leisurely loop that should take about 2 - 2.5 hours to meander
past most of the lakes in the park. Consensus choice for multiple
restroom stops and organizer's tour guide spiels. Layered clothing
choices may be needed at solstice but probably not. Hike begins at
the southeast corner of Fulton and 36th Ave. at 10:00 a.m. Post-hike
options for food/entertainment shall be discussed. Oh, and extra
points for bringing along particularly weird Xmaz gifts for our
viewing pleasure. DIRECTIONS: From the south, 280, take Hwy 1/19th
Ave. exit, stay in right lanes at the 19th Ave./Juniperro Serra split
to continue up J. Serra to Sloat, left and continue to the Great Hwy,
right. Go past the park and the remodeled windmill and turn right on
Fulton. Or try self-carpool location #6 at 8:55 a.m. Maps,
directions, etc. if you email.
ORGANIZER: Queries to 415/752-2699, 6 - 9 p.m., but please continue
to call if organizer's return call to you is long distance, or try
grizzly [at] laugingbear.org (might not be returned after 12/24). If
you're really lost, try organizer's cell at 415/710-2533. Co-listed
with various groups. If it rains, we'll be brave and will stumble
along anyway.

AgriCulture: Roots of Resistance in the Midwest
Ecology Center 2530 San Pablo @ Dwight Way Berkeley
Join Katharine Jolda and Ingrid Evjen-Elias for a reportback of their three-week bicycle trip in the land of corn, soybeans, and Wal-Mart. Journeying through southern Nebraska and Kansas they interviewed organic farmers, old-timers, and locals about the social, economic, and environmental affects of industrialized agriculture. The stories and photos they'll share portray a region in which a fossil-fuel dependent food system is eroding both topsoil and rural communities. But they found pockets of resistance too. In Lincoln, Nebraska a group of small farmers have organized a marketing coop where they can sell their value-added products. In Marysville, Kansas a single mom-organic rancher is raising healthy cattle by keeping her land in pasture. And in Salina, Kansas researchers at the Land Institute are developing what they call Natural Systems Agriculture by breeding perennial grain varieties. You'll also hear about Sandhill Farm, a biodynamic farm and intentional community in northeastern Missouri which for thirty years has been modeling an alternative to its monoculture neighbors. If activists in the Midwest can create such local food systems, we can create them anywhere!

Arctic Quest, Journey through a Threatened Wilderness
Ecology Center 2530 San Pablo Ave @ Dwight, Berkeley
Join author Chad Kister for a slideshow presentation of his journey by foot and raft through the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. The Arctic Refuge is the last undeveloped section of Alaska's Arctic coast line, and is a critical breeding ground for hundreds of thousands of caribou, many species of birds, polar bear, musk ox, snowy owl, Arctic Char, Walrus, seal, Bowhead whale, snow geese, Arctic Tern, golden eagles, and many more creatures.
This amazing land is threatened by President George Bush's call to open the coastal plain -- the biological heart of the refuge -- to oil development. If pursued, oil development would provide less than a 6 month supply of oil for the United States and would destroy the refuge.
Come find out about the work of the Arctic Refuge Defense Campaign and what you can do to help protect this unique ecosystem.
