RNC Protests in NYC:
When talking to Paul from Ireland the other day he said to me: “you guys are turning into china. it’s now a police state.” listening to Democracy Now on KPFK/Pacifica Radio yesterday I began to wonder if it is becoming somewhat an acurate description.
There is a good blog at the Village Voice with pictures and stories about this weeks protests in NYC organized mainly by United for Peace and Justice. Also check out some downloadable flyers and posters.

Senate rejects move to ban same-sex marriage!!!!
Less than one day left before the Senate votes on the Federal Marriage Amendment. Call your senators today to help stop a disriminatory constitutional amendment.
So this is why Bush and his followers want a destabilized Middle East…Their beliefs are bonkers…
Don’t forget tonight:
Interchange2!
Found an important news source that claims to “offer our readers a unique and accurate map of how the world works, unfiltered by preconception or ideology.” Read the latest article COUP D’ETAT Michael C. Ruppert explains “The Real Reason Tenet and Pavitt Resigned from the CIA…”
David Horvitz sent me a link to his latest project, Memories of Amache. Normally I do not have the patience to read much online, but the subject matter and combination of images and text, even with some of the typos, kept my attention. I am reminded of my brief trip to the Japanese American National Museum, and how just standing in the reconstructed barracks from an internment camp I was overwhelmed with grief, as if I could feel the collective memory of pain that had become embedded in the structure. Although we debated this at the museum, the internment of the Japanese Americans is not unlike that of the Jews by the Nazis, and not unlike what had the potential to happen to the American Muslims after September 11th. I have been reading Avishai Marglit‘s The Ethics of Memory which explores the “healing power of the truth in the case of communal memories.” Maybe David has read this too.
