Footprints in the Dust:

Signs of Connections between the CIA and the WTC Attack

Sunday, March 10, 2002 @ 08:47:39 EST

By John Chuckman, YellowTimes.org Columnist (Canada)

One of the most fascinating snippets on the latest Nixon Watergate-era tape to be released to the public, the same tape that contains an 18-minute erasure and anti-Semitic remarks, was a brief, unexplained comment by Nixon on what a fraud the Warren Commission had been.

I'm not a conspiracy theorist, but as part of a lifelong interest in history, I've read most of the worthwhile books analyzing Kennedy's assassination, and I am left only with the certainty that we've never been told the whole truth.

Ralph Rumney

Rebellious artist and co-founder of the Situationist International

Malcolm Imrie

The Guardian,Friday March 8, 2002

The artist, writer and co-founder of the Situationist International,
Ralph Rumney, has died of cancer at his home in Manosque, Provence, aged 67.

Interviewed in The Map Is Not The Territory, a study of his life and works by Alan Woods, he said: "I think the trick, as far as possible, is to be sort of anonymous within this society. You know, to sort of vanish." Indeed, until the publication last year of that marvellous book, Ralph seemed almost to have been forgotten in his home country, except by those of us fortunate enough to have known him.

Help Spread Critical, Credible News About the War

War Time News via the Cascadia Media Collective

Cacadia Media

War Time News, a new one-page printable info resource, is now available for downloading from the Cascadia Media Collective in Eugene, Oregon. Approximately every two weeks we put together media highlights from around the world about both the War Against Terrorism and the terror inherent in the status-quo. We try to provide memory, context and counter-argument to the mainstream media.

War Time News is best for helping get info off of the internet and into the hands of people who don't spend a lot of time on-line. We hope you'll go to our webpage, download the newest issue (in either Word.doc or pdf format,) put something local on the back of the page, and distribute copies around your town.

Let us know what you think, and tell us if you decide to help with distribution. We can be reached by email at wartimenews@hotmail.com

LOFT DWELLERS UNITE:

The LiveWork Coalition will host a community meeting with loft tenants and elected representatives Wednesday, February 20th.

Join us on Wednesday, February 20th at 7pm, to meet with loft tenants living without protection from harassment and eviction. The meeting will be held at Henry Street Settlement, Abrons Art Center 466 Grand Street in Manhattan.

WHAT IS THE LIVE WORK COALITION?

We are artists and designers living in lofts not covered under the existing Loft Law of 1980. The LiveWork Coalition was officially created when dozens of long-term tenants were evicted from their lofts in DUMBO in December of 2000. Since then, the LiveWork Coalition has received over 1,000 individual responses to an online census form for loft tenants. Under scrutiny by landlords and developers alike, the LiveWork Coalition has gained support from neighborhood businesses, arts organizations, and galleries.

We are continuing to lobby for the passage of the Next Generation Loft Law, A5580. Our coalition is committed to the preservation of our diverse communities and the continuing contributions that our communities bring to our city.

Anonymous Comrade writes "The turn out for the February 1 anti-World Economic Forum march (15,000 –20,000) surprised everyone: the cops, the media, and perhaps most of all those who had organized the demonstration. Much of the energy on the street was a direct response to the campaign of intimidation carried out by the media on behalf of the WEF and the police. The demonstration tapped into a growing disaffection with capitalism and a general discontent with globalization and corporate governance in the US. For many of those who came out, the press campaign against the demonstrators was a direct assault on civil liberties and real proof that groups like the WEF are incapable of defending their policies when confronted with the meat and bones of democratic discourse.
