School of the Americas House Vote Coming Soon
The BEST OPPORTUNITY for a vote this session to
close the SOA/WHINSEC may be
coming soon; sooner than expected! The Foreign
Operations Appropriations
bill is scheduled to be voted on by the full House
of Representatives AS
EARLY AS JULY 12th. [Previously we had reported the
vote would take place
the week of the 19th, but the schedule has changed,
and so must we!]
Historically, we have had success in our legislative
efforts when a Member
of Congress has introduced an amendment to that
bill to cut the funds for "scholarships" for the
foreign security forces
attending the SOA/WHINSEC, rendering the school
inoperable. THIS IS OUR
CHANCE TO CLOSE THE SOA. We can do it!
Marcello De Luna writes "The Redesign Project – Press Release July 3, 2004
Weinfelden, Switzerland, July 3, 2004
The Redesign Project is a contemporary art project reflecting on the Bush
Administration’s foreign and domestic policy.
The European artist Marcello De Luna has - by means of a contemporary art project -
expressed his concerns and hopes regarding the Iraq conflict and all that has come with it
(the biased media, the lies, the victims, the deteriorated image of the U.S. abroad, the
hope for the better with maybe a different administration in 2005). He has played on the
theme of the U.S. flag and "redesigned" it to reflect his thoughts about the events that
have unfolded for quite a while now.
The work is published on a web site that has been created for the project:
http://theredesignproject.com. The primary goal of the site is not commercial. It has been
fun to do the project and it's all about getting the designs out to help people who share
Medical Marijuana Vote in US House This Week
Press Release from the Drug Reform Coordination Network
Since early last month we have been alerting our readers about
an upcoming medical marijuana vote in the US House of
Representatives, the Hinchey/Rohrabacher amendment to forbid the
US Department of Justice from using its resources to interfere
with state medical marijuana laws. This amendment would be
consistent with a recent ruling by the US 9th Circuit Court
which found that DOJ interference with state medical marijuana
laws is unconstitutional.
(Image)ining Resistance
Call for papers:
Editors: Keri Cronin and Kirsty Robertson
Queen's University, Kingston, Ontario, Canada
We are seeking contributions for a collection of essays tentatively
titled (Image)ining Resistance. Our aim is to encourage interdisciplinary
approaches and critical examinations that address the use of visual imagery in
social and activist movements throughout history. From banners embroidered for
suffragette actions, to the impact of photographs taken in Soweto in 1976, to
political puppets created for recent global justice demonstrations, the
intersections between visual culture and activism relate a rich history with
transnational and transideological import. Interdisciplinary approaches are
encouraged, as are essays addressing a wide range of historical periods,
geographic regions and protest actions.

"The 3rd Annual Drug War Vigil Film Festival"
Vancouver, British Columbia, September 24-25, 2004
The Drug War Vigil Memorial Group is a social justice think tank that was founded in the fall of 2000, dedicated to ending the War on Drugs.
We recognize that the militarization of this medical issue and the criminalization of the chronically sick, terminally ill and chemically dependent have resulted in the needless loss of human life, and that this is the true crime.
Fifth Estate Seeks Contributions on Radical Education Fifth Estate seeks articles, anecdotes, essays, and experiences on

school, or even a home school setting, we are asking for creative learning
in adverse times.
"New York Civil Liberties Union Questions The Investigation Of A Buffalo Artist"
June 21, 2004 -- The New York Civil Liberties Union is questioning the propriety of an investigation into the work of Buffalo artist and Autonomedia author Steven Kurtz. The NYCLU has written a letter to U.S. Attorney Michael Battle inquiring about the presentation of the case of Professor Kurtz to a Grand Jury.
“It doesn’t appear that this investigation satisfies the FBI standards that the facts and circumstances of the case must reasonably indicate that a crime has been committed,” said Donna Lieberman, Executive Director of the NYCLU.
"Fahrenheit 911" Now Available for Download!
[but not from us!]
Michael Moore's new film has been much anticipated in the file sharing world, and it became obvious that several different release groups would compete to see who could produce the most polished encode.
There is now a second version, surely of much higher quality (It is a Telesynch) released by the celebrated Centropy, it's one file just under 700Mb and encoded in Xvid. The quality is extremely good and the film is complete. It has been tested by our top scientists ;-)
You can find it here:
http://66.90.75.92/suprnova//torrents/2149/Fahrenheit.911.SVCD-TS.Centro...
Details on how to download it continue below.
Seeing as people seem quite enthusiastic about downloading, check out the online archive of independent and copyleft productions at:
New Global Vision
and the video footage sharing project at V2V.
NOT BORED writes "Comrades:
We disagree with Malcom Imrie, the translator of Debord's "Comments on the Society of the Spectacle" (1988): footnotes would definitely help many readers to better understand this book, in part because some of the historical events to which Debord refers or alludes aren't well known (have been suppressed, obscured or completely forgotten) in English-speaking countries; and in part because Debord himself "take[s] care not to give too much information to just anybody." In the absence of such explanations, Debord seems paranoid (which he wasn't) and his references seem figural (when they are in fact historical).
