“Countdown to Zero”: Hollywood movie promotes war on Iran 
Seductive, fascinating and frightening, Countdown to Zero motivates the public to support complete nuclear disarmament and to fear Iran, which is conveniently the next country the US wants to invade. Framed in no-nuke rhetoric, Countdown to Zero is not-so-subtle agitprop. The film relies on conventional geopolitics to whip up conventional audiences into another conventional state of panic. Islamo-terrorists just can’t acquire this technology! This is painfully similar to what we were told pri...

Witnesses Unveil Yet More Brutality from China’s Security Forces 
Dharamshala: Eyewitness accounts, in a Human Rights Watch report released today, have confirmed long-held convictions that Chinese state security forces exercised disproportionate, brutal measures in repressing the Tibetan protests starting on March 10, 2008. Disappearances, wrongful convictions and imprisonment, the targeting of Tibetans suspected of ‘separatist' sympathies and the persecution of their families featured in the 73 page report, "I Saw It with My Own Eyes: Abuses by Security Fo...

Haiti Earthquake: Capitalism, Occupation and Revolution The earthquake that wrecked the capital of Haiti and surrounding areas on January 12 produced human tragedy of almost unfathomable proportions. It has been termed “the most destructive natural disaster in modern times.” Five months later, Haiti is no longer in the headlines or on the nightly TV news, but for the hard-hit Haitian population the scene has hardly changed. Now a new disaster is in the making as the hurricane season begins. This was a calamity made by capitalism: the earthquake wa...

Appeals to the HPS EIR will silence LENNAR and enlighten the minds of the SF Supervisors 
We all know how British Petroleum (BP) chose not to follow the law and as a result vast, mostly pristine areas in the Gulf of Mexico are now contaminated. Well, at Hunters Point Shipyard much the same is happening and will happen. Knowing that the area is a Superfund Area - contaminated by Radiological elements, prone to liquefaction and flooding - LENNAR, is bribing folks left, right, and center and wants their fake Environmental Impact Report to pass. It will NOT....

MILITARY TORTURE AND STATE TERRORISM ARE ALIVE AND WELL IN THE PHILIPPPINES 
Although a new president has been installed in the Philippines to replace the corrupt Arroyo regime, 43 health-care workers continue to suffer brutal military/police torture and degrading incarceration in Camp Bagong Diwa, notorious for the massacre of Moro suspects. Five are still held in wretched military camp dungeons. Millions of US taxdollars fund the torture methods of the police and military Establishment. We appeal to all US citizens to denounce and condemn the extrajudicial killings...

Nasty new ordinance making Sleeping Ban Tickets misdemeanors Tuesday 3 PM at City Council The City Attorney's office is apparently not satisfied with spending $50,000 to $100,000 targeting Anna Richardson and Miguel de Leon in the unusual and unjustified Permanent Injunction Hearing that lasted through the last week. Their crime? Sleeping tickets in a town with no shelter for 95% of its homeless. The new law would restore misdemeanor status to Sleeping and Blanket Ban citations (removed in 1999 by City Council action). The First Reading of the new law will be hustled through ...

Suit Filed to Protect Ancient Redwoods from Caltrans Highway Project According to Pete McCloskey: “This case is about Caltrans ignoring the science and the will of the people of California in favor of the interests of large trucking companies. Caltrans obviously cares more about trucks than trees. That’s not how most Californians see things, and we are honored to represent these organizations and individuals in their fight against this unnecessary and destructive project.”...

City Attorney Barisone's Attack on 2 Homeless: Sentinel Smear and Activist Response A costly and unusual trial to permanently ban two homeless musicians--Anna Richardson and Miguel de Leon--is taking place in Dept. 4 daily costing the city tens of thousands of dollars. The two have been convicted of no crimes in the last year except being visible in public spaces as "eyesores" and responding angrily to
harassment with verbal outrage. The Sentinel's puff-n-poof police fluffer Jennifer Squires has produced another one of her articles which I and Becky Johnson critique. Jo...

Lennar has decimated the Bayview Community pushing its Phase II conceptual plans. 
LENNAR is a Rogue Developer who with the support of the Pacific Heights Mafia has decimated the Bayview Hunters Point community and is now pushing for a dubious Phase II conceptual plan - that defies Quality of Life issues. The U.S. Navy in its presentation continues to address Radiological issues and cannot address it fully to satisfy the community a large. The U.S. Navy cannot stand the community questioning its matter of way of doing things. Worse then the U.S. Navy is the dubious Bayview...
