A Yippie Veteran Is in Jail Far From the East Village
Colin Moynihan, New York Times
It has been more than 40 years since Dana Beal came to prominence as a theoretician for the Youth International Party, known as the Yippies, and embarked on a long career in the world of countercultural politics.
Since 1973, Mr. Beal and other Yippies have used a brick tenement on Bleecker Street, just west of the East Village, as a base for planning large-scale events, including demonstrations at national political conventions and worldwide marches calling for the legalization of medical marijuana, among other causes.
But Mr. Beal, 61, was far from the national stage last week when he found himself arrested on charges of money laundering in Mattoon, Ill., about 170 miles south of Chicago. He is being held in a county jail in nearby Charleston, awaiting an appearance before a judge on Thursday.
Ronald Tulin, a Charleston lawyer representing Mr. Beal, said that the police found his client with a large sum of cash, which was sniffed by police dogs.
“They’re saying the money smelled like marijuana,” Mr. Tulin said.
Critical Art Ensemble's Steve Kurtz Cleared of All Charges
Department of Justice Fails to Appeal Dismissal
Kurtz Speaks about Four-Year Ordeal
Buffalo, NY—Dr. Steven Kurtz, a Professor of Visual Studies at SUNY at Buffalo and cofounder of the award-winning art and theater group Critical Art Ensemble, has been cleared of all charges of mail and wire fraud. On April 21, Federal Judge Richard J. Arcara dismissed the government’s entire indictment against Dr. Kurtz as “insufficient on its face.” This means that even if the actions alleged in the indictment (which the judge must accept as “fact”) were true, they would not constitute a crime. The US Department of Justice had thirty days from the date of the ruling to appeal. No action has been taken in this time period, thus stopping any appeal of the dismissal. According to Margaret McFarland, a spokeswoman for US Attorney Terrance P. Flynn, the DoJ will not appeal Arcara’s ruling and will not seek any new charges against Kurtz.

"From the Acteal Massacre to the Merida Initiative"
Rafael Landerreche
Translation and footnotes by Kristin Bricker
La Jornada, November 10, 2007
Las Abejas from Chenalhó is an organization that professes non-violent principles. Time and time again they've declared that they don't want revenge for the Acrtal massacre, but that they won't give up their demand for justice so that incidents like that don't happen again.
It couldn't be a better time to review some tragic lessons from the Acteal case, since an agreement with the United States government known officially as the Merida Initiative is being cooked up right now.
"The New Security Culture"
Boris Beauregard
It’s a New Security Culture!
A message from Boris Beauregard celebrating the World Security Days:
"Never before in the history of the world, there has been such a need to
respond effectively to critical events. In today’s complex world where the
solutions to your security concerns are no longer straightforward, it is
more difficult than ever to successfully protect interests against diverse
and intricate dangers."

On Tuesday, June 10, at 7:00pm, the Anarchist Forum will present "Thus
Spoke The Spectacle", a live music video critique of media-saturated
culture. The performance, based on Guy Debord's landmark Situationist work
"The Society of the Spectacle," combines original music with bit and pieces
of the media barrage reassembled to draw out their hidden meanings. The
Spectacle, according to Debord is "the world of illusion where all attention
and consciousness converge," constituting a unified thought-world
constructed daily through communication technology. The Spectacle is
dominated by images of commercialized community: happy, well-adjusted people
connected to each other, and a multitude of products, in meaningful and
satisfying ways. The reality is a never-ending psychic invasion causing
alienation: separation from the self, from others, and from a genuine
experience of life. Music by Eric Goodman, lyrics by Guy Debord, live
performance by Eric Goodman and Mike Stevens. The performers will talk with
the audience after the show.
