 On May 27th at 5pm the DC Anti War Network (DAWN) in conjunction with Code Pink will demonstrate in front of the Georgia Avenue military recruiting station to expose the lies and predatory aims of military recruiters. (Please see below for directions.) For those of us in DC who are parents or students, for those of us who have family members or friends in the military or know someone who is thinking about joining, we have a responsibility to unmask these military salesmen as they attempt to lure DC’s youth into an unjust and illegal war. All are encouraged to join us in this action. |

Organic Consumers Association Reacts to Monsanto’s Latest GMO Deception
WASHINGTON, DC – Consumers have another reason to avoid foods laced with genetically modified organisms (GMO). Yesterday, European news outlets reported harmful health impacts on lab rats that were fed Monsanto’s root worm resistant corn (Mon 863), now grown and sold in the US. Monsanto, the world’s largest producer of genetically modified corn, soybeans, canola and cotton, appears to have disregarded their own research on the harmful impacts of their GMO corn on rats. According to the London based Independent which broke the story, “…secret research carried out by Monsanto shows that rats fed the modified corn had smaller kidneys and variations in the composition of their blood.” |

 Leave it to Israel’s Ariel Sharon to bring everyone together! His appearance in Washington, DC, on May 23, 2005, brought out hundreds of vocal demonstrators. The occasion was the annual conference of AIPAC, which is a part of the alien-based Zionist Cartel juggernaut. Ex-U.S. Sen. Ernest F. Hollings (D-SC) said, “The Iraq War was for Israel.” Are Sharon and the Zionist Cartel scheming a repeat performance for us with Iran and Syria? |

Assata Shakur: The Government's Terrorist is Our Community's Heroine |
|

Modified: 23 May 2005 |
 Earlier this month the federal government issued a statement in which they labeled Joanne Chesimard, known to most in the Black community as Assata Shakur, as a domestic terrorist. In so doing, they also increased the bounty on her head from $150,000 to an unprecedented $1,000,000. Viewed through the lens of U.S. law enforcement, Shakur is an escaped cop-killer. Viewed through the lens of many Black people, including me, she is a wrongly convicted woman and a hero of epic proportions. |

Franklin was not the original object of FBI surveillance. They were watching AIPAC meetings with Israeli embassy officials, on suspicion of systematic espionage. They were surprised when Pentagon employee Franklin showed up in the videotapes. |

Orioles Owner Charged with Dishonorable Conduct |

Modified: 22 May 2005 |
 The United Workers Association announces Union Night protest at Camden Yards, Friday June 17th. Peter Angelos, owner of the Orioles, has refused to honor his commitment to ensure clean up workers earn a living wage. This protest is to show this multi-millionaire that just because workers pick up trash at the stadium, they have honor.
As you know the United Workers Association is an organization of low wage and day laborers. We are organizing at the biggest day labor site in Baltimore City, Camden Yards, where the Orioles baseball team plays. We have made a heck of a lot of progress in our campaign: workers now have a voice on the job, a true first for day laborers in the U.S.! |

Galloway Rocks The House -- or, more appropriately, the Senate |

 The Senate Permanent Subcommittee On Investigations, that is, insisting on making an ass of itself in front of the whole planet by attempting to discredit dissident British MP George Galloway with documents in "evidence" long-proven to be faked. He'd "give them a good hiding", Mr. Galloway's reported to have said, and give them a hiding, he did -- or, "opened up a can of whup-ass", as we say on this side of The Pond...

*You may not know it, but under a little known provision of No Child Left Behind, public high schools must hand over personal information about students -- including minors -- to local military recruiters. I think it's a real invasion of family privacy. The good news is, parents can get their kids off this list by submitting a request in writing to their school district superintendent. *

Let’s pretend for a minute that we’re veteran military recruiters and we’ve been ordered to attend a workshop on ways to attract new recruits to the Army National Guard and bolster the Army’s tarnished image concerning recruiting. We’re greeted with sobering statistics reflecting a looming crisis in military recruiting.

J. David Galland describes how senior Army Officers are not being held accountable as are enlisted soldiers for their involvement in the Abu Ghraib debacle, thus further perpetuating the criminal cover-up and lack of placing the blame where blame truly lies. |
