Implacable rabble-rouser Randle Patrick McMurphy is committed to an asylum and inspires his fellow patients to rebel against the authoritarian rule of head nurse Mildred Ratched. A blistering attack on American society, that is at once exceptionally emotional and eternally uplifting....

Homeland Security official caught in child porn sting....a.k.a. It's Times Like These I Especially Appreciate The Police and Prisons!! Yet another reason why we need a system of firm checks and balances in all forms of government. Kudos to this Police Dept. that was not intimidated to take on Homeland Security: the President's personal security force who have the guts to issue "security memos" even though they always seem to have their head up their ass. According to many account...

I see only one way out; a metamorphic leap of faith, an about face in the way we think, a decision to let go of everything that we, as a nation, once held dear, an understanding that the world will surely end unless we recognize the fact that we have no choice but to embrace our enemy as our brother, the one, without whom, we will never find peace, a brother-in-arms, enchained from head to toe, with whom we will either drown, or, together, might be allowed to live for yet another day.......

On Thursday, March 30th, I spoke with Watsonville High School students about the walkouts which took place on Monday, March 27th and Tuesday, March 28th. Students share their reasons for walking out, why they do not support attempts to create anti-immigrant laws as well as the actions of fellow students, teachers, administrators and police.
Many of the students discuss instances of police brutality which they saw and heard about from friends. Police brutality included hitting a student in...

Earlier this month, the Earth Liberation Front struck in Salem, Oregon. I doubt many people outside of Oregon heard about this action. However, in Oregon it was a hot news topic for days.
What kind of daring action could garner such media attention? The words "Stop building ant farms, ELF" spray-painted on a new housing development.
The first headlines were "Eco-terrorists strike again". Then the speculations came. Was this an act of hardened terrorists or was it a p...

Whatever happened to empathy? How did the world suddenly become inhabited by good, red-blooded Americans and a bunch of gooks, slopes, ragheads, hadjis and any other pejorative which makes them seem less than human? How did the world suddenly become us and them? How is it that no one's beliefs and concerns have validity except ours? How has it come about that the world is now divided between us, our few allies, and a world of terrorists?...

Derrick Jensen will be speaking in Santa Cruz tonight at the Vet's Hall downtown, as a benefit for the legal fees of eco-prisoners arrested in the recent 'green scare'.
"All across the country, I ask activists and others, 'Do you believe our Culture will undergo a voluntary transformation to a sane and sustainable way of living?' Out of hundreds of people I've asked, not a single one has answered even remotely in the affirmative." -Derrick Jensen...
