An Announcement From Arkansas IMC/Aviso desde Arkansas IMC

imclogo2.gifSeveral months ago, Arkansas Indymedia published an article that addressed the mounting barrage of unsolicited spam that we were receiving on a daily basis, violations of editorial policy, and the efforts by some writers to fill up the newswire with their own material, leaving little room or time on the newswire for anybody else’s.

Hace unos meses, publicamos una articula sobre el problema creciendo de publicidad comercia y violaciones editoriales en este sitio de web. Todavía, muchas personas no han prestado atención a nuestra solicitud por publicar solamente articulas inteligentes, y por publicar solamente una por día.

203816_iran_oil.jpgIn recent weeks, Iran conducted two missile tests in response to both the alleged dry run by the Israeli air force last month for a potential strike against that country’s uranium-enrichment plants, and increasingly bellicose rhetoric and war threats coming from the Bush Administration and some members of Congress.

More than three billion people condemned to premature death from hunger and thirst

THAT is not an exaggerated figure, but rather a cautious one. I have meditated a lot on that in the wake of President Bush’s meeting with U.S. automobile manufacturers.

The sinister idea of converting food into fuel was definitively established as an economic line in U.S. foreign policy last Monday, March 26.

Ruling Against Mumia Shows: No Justice in the Capitalist Courts

On March 27, the U.S. appeals court in Philadelphia reaffirmed the frame-up conviction of Mumia Abu-Jamal, the former Black Panther Party spokesman and world-renowned radical journalist who has been locked up on Pennsylvania’s death row for more than a quarter century. After previously rejecting Mumia’s request to present evidence of his innocence, as well as a host of issues showing that he was railroaded by a racist court, the Court turned down Mumia’s request for a new trial. It upheld the 2001 ruling by a federal district judge that ordered a new hearing on the sentence, but limited the “choice” to the living hell of life imprisonment without parole … or execution. Mumia is innocent. He was declared guilty and sentenced to die because of his revolutionary politics and because for years he had been a thorn in the side of the racist rulers of the misnamed “city of brotherly love.” Around the world, millions have come out in defense of Jamal. This latest ruling, like all those that preceded it, shows that the exploited and oppressed must have no faith in the racist injustice system. We call on the workers movement to mobilize its power to free Mumia now!
