Monday, October 22, 2007 : "Multiculturalism" has become a suspect term almost everywhere in the world nowadays, and particularly in Europe. People say things like: "I used to be for openness and toleration of difference, but now I see where it's leading." But where is it leading?...

David Horowitz' Reactionary Road Show Must be Confronted and Exposed
David Horowitz has called for a “Islamo-Fascism Awareness Week” on the major campuses in this country for Oct 22-26, 2007. Literature calling for this week, posted on Frontpagemag.com, states: “The purpose of this protest is as simple as it is crucial: to confront the two Big Lies of the political left: that George Bush created the war on terror and that Global Warming is a greater danger to Americans than the terrorist threat. Nothing could be more politically incorrect than to point this ou...

The Hypocrisy of “Newly Minted Feminists”…And David Horowitz’ Dangerous Agenda
The people putting on “Islamo-Fascism Awareness Week”—the October 22–26 series of events at universities and colleges purporting to oppose “Islamo-Fascism” and to develop support for the “war on terror”—pose as champions of the rights of women. And so, at a time when the Supreme Court has thrown the right to abortion into question, when the operatives of the Bush regime have brought birth control increasingly under fire, when violence against women in this country continues and intensifies wi...

While also spotlighting the cases of The SF 8, Veronza Bowers, Jr., and Jamil Abdullah Al-Amin (formerly H. Rap Brown), Ron Jacobs writes that the new Mumia Abu-Jamal crime scene photos in German author Michael Schiffmann's book:
"cast more doubt on the state's case by apparently disproving the prosecution's statements that Mumia stood over Officer Faulkner and fired at him several times. The photos show no marks from the bullets that were supposedly fired in this fashion. In fact, the sid...

The Media wants the scoop,d Mayor Gavin is in deep soup - Ed Jew will regroup and live
San Francisco is known for its decency - believe it or not. But, once is a way - as we have seen in recent months, some one will defy all decency as did Mayor Gavin Newsom, Aaron Peskin a Supervisor and Dennis Herrera the City Attorney. There is no doubt that Ed Jew, the District 4 Supervisor who won an election - has been targeted and that he has been judged without a fair trial. Time will tell - and the racist Mayor Gavin Newsom - will be exposed - lock, stock and barrel....
