Washington supports Honduran terror

The California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) houses prisoners of every faith imaginable; Islamic, Catholic, Protestant, Episcopalian, Baptist, Jewish, Mormon, Buddhist, Hinduism, Taoism, Paganism, Voodooism, Satanism and many other beliefs. Just like many Americans in large and small cities and towns throughout this country, men and women who practice their beliefs behind prison walls have a right to do so without bias, prejudice, or interference. Unfortunately, this was not the case for four Muslim prisoners serving out their sentences as fire fighters at the Ben Lomond fire camp in the remote hills of Santa Cruz County, California.

In the interview, Joseph discusses the AETA 4 case and its implications for activists.

Peacecamp2010 continues its nightly 8:15 PM meetings on Center St. in front of City Hall (also check the area directly in front of City Hall Chambers). The sleepy soldiers of civil liberties have now gone more than 60 nights of continuous "illegal" sleeping in a City that has no shelter for 95% of its homeless and uses its own 11 PM to 8:30 AM Sleeping Ban law to criminalize homeless people throughout the City at night. A new lawless crackdown on political protest increased the pressure on the sleepers in the last week with ongoing property seizures, closed-off public areas, heightened "security measures" and other telltale badge-and-gun obscenities designed to terrorize poor people into surrendering their rights.

On September 3rd, a man standing at a bus stop on 6th Avenue was approached by two police officers. According to witnesses, the man looked very confused, unsure as to why the police were focusing on him. The police began to shout and soon enough the man was shot four times. He died on the way to the hospital. On 5:00 p.m. Tuesday August 31st a 23 year old man, David Charles Young was killed in Federal Way, Wa. Police opened fire on him on the basis of the supposed theft of a stolen Ford F20 pickup truck. The man was hit and injured. He was taken from the truck and transported to Harborview, where he died. After his death an update was posted about how he had a warrant for larceny and DUI, as though after the fact it justified his killing.

Partido Lakas ng Masa (Party of the Labouring Masses) commiserates with the families of the eight Chinese nationals killed in the tour bus hijacking in Manila on Monday, August 23. The blunders of the Philippine police and officials in the hijacking crisis, which led to the deaths of the eight tourists, are indefensible from many aspects.

Continúa sin interrupción el "Año del Retén." Sigue la lista de retenes anunciados por la prensa corporativa para este fin de semana y más adelante. Hay utilizar máxima precaución al salir manejando en estos fines de semana que comprenden días feriados como el Día del Trabajo. La policía muchas veces recibe finciamiento que proviene directamente de la gente más humilde que es negada el derecho de trasladarse en auto. Además, hay estafadores que prometen anunciar retenes pero resulta que cobran para bastante para el servicio. (Véase este artículo de una periodista del estado de Pennsylvania.) Siempre vale más contar con sus propios camaradas de sus comunidades. The "Year of the Checkpoint" continues relentlessly. This weekend's list of media-announced checkpoints follows. Maximum precaution is recommended for those who drive, particularly on holiday weekends. Law enformcement agencies often receive monies that come directly from the poorest, who in many states are denied the right of automobility. Moreover, there are schemers who promise to alert immigrants and civil liberties defenders about checkpoints, who later reveal that they charge high rates for the service. (See this article by a Pennsylvania journalist. It is always better to count on your own comrades from your communities.
