Former Federal Prosecutor John Loftus confirms the Bush-Nazi scandal



http://www.oilempire.us/dictionary.html
limited hang out: a tactic to fess up to a small crime so that the full crime can remain safely hidden. The most effective limited hang outs persuade political opponents of the perpetrators that the full truth has been exposed, and that the remedies required to cope with the scandal are actually the plans of the perpetrators. The 9/11 limited hang outs - that it was a surprise attack caused by massive intelligence failures, including the supposed inability of different agencies to properly communicate with each other - have resulted in the spectacle of Bush administration opponents endorsing proposals to increase the budgets for the "Homeland Security" police state.

Please BRING A NET if you have one!!! 

My recurring nightmare is being chased through GG Park by an angry mob of players with torches, pitchforks, and no nets. The clown nightmares are worse. Much worse. 

Miscellaneous stuff: We'll play till it gets too dark to see. This will keep happening weekly until North America tilts too far away from the sun. It usually works out to be 4's matches, occasional doubles, with miscellaneous bastardizations of same depending on who shows up and when. The mosquitos show up around dusk, so plan accordingly (really, plan for this, West Nile is not pleasant). If you don't want to get these emails please delete yourself or send me an angry email, making sure to hit the keys really hard while composing it. Forward this to non-jerk friends if you wish (that's probably how you got this, so somebody out there thinks you're special). Peacock Meadows is in the North East corner of the park, between the Conservatory of Flowers and McLaren Lodge www.inetours.com/Pages/SFL...kVws/GGP_Map.html

# 7/20 7pm: The Conflict in Iraq - Talk by Aaron Glantz & Film "Falluja 2004"  (mission district) 
"Aaron Glantz's courageous unembeded journalism explains the reality of the US invasion and occupation of Iraq with a clarity and perspective sorely lacking in mainstream media." - Amy Goodman, host Democracy Now! 
 OCCUPATION AND RESISTANCE: THE CONFLICT IN IRAQ 
 With Pacifica Radio journalist and author of "How America Lost Iraq" 
 AARON GLANTZ 
 And a screening of "FELLUJA 2004" 
 Wednesday, July 20 at 7 pm 
 New College of California, 766 Valencia St @ 19th St., SF - FREE 
 The unprovoked massacre of Iraqi civilians by US troops in Fellujah in early 2004 became a turning point in the occupation of Iraq. As the Iraqi people endured continued violence and chaos, an armed resistance gained wider support. Aaron Glantz will speak about the situation in Iraq, followed by Toshikuni DOI's remarkable documentary film, Felluja 2004. 
 Aaron Glantz, author of "How America Lost Iraq" and reporter for Pacifica Radio and other media outlets, has visited Iraq three times during the U.S. occupation. 
 Falluja 2004 (55 min.): Toshikuni DOI was in Falluja two weeks after the US invasion. He was one of the few international journalists able to show the reality of the invasion.

The International Code of Signals serves to facilitate communication at sea. It defines the meaning of alphabetical identification codes for safety and navigation purposes. The key for "sending" was drafted by a committee of the British Board of Trade in 1855 and published in 1857. The 1969 edition, revised in 2003, is still in use today. We have expanded the flag alphabet, not just so that it also includes the @ sign, but so that city dwellers have access to pure communication. The flag alphabet will be taught in a workshop lasting several hours. After a few days set aside for study and practice, we would like, in the form of a competition, to send an identical message cross the city over two equally long routes simultaneously. Will it work? 

monochrom is an art-technology-philosophy group of basket weaving enthusiasts and theory do-it-yourselfers having its seat in Vienna and Zeta Draconis. monochrom is the super-affirmation of the globalization trap. monochrom has existed in this (and every other) form since 1993. monochrom.at/english/

TradeMark G. / Mark Gunderson is an audio artist, culture jammer, equipment designer, and organizer. He is best known for founding The Evolution Control Committee in 1986, a band renowned for its copyright-challenging stance. This resulted in the CBS television network threatening suit for sampling newscaster Dan Rather, but also gave The ECC credit for creating the “mash-up” genre of music. TradeMark G. is also the creator of The ECC’s Thimbletron, a live sampling performance instrument, and has been behind all of The ECC’s 16 full-length albums, a videotape, 2 seven-inch records, and even an 8-track tape and a wax cylinder recording. TradeMark G. and The ECC have given over 500 live performances at festivals, concert halls, bars, and galleries in Australia, Germany, Holland, England, France, New York, San Francisco, and elsewhere.

# Community Forum on the Sydeshow Controversy Fri July 22 8 pm-10 pm Free
 In the context of an African community facing school
closures, festival shut-downs, no art and music
programs, the sideshows are a culmination of their
being no venues for self-expression and advancement
for young African people. The city of Oakland is using
the sideshows as the latest excuse to push black
people out and make way for white corporations and
homeowners who do not value African life.

THE TAKE 

In the wake of Argentina's spectacular economic collapse, in a ghost town of abandoned factories and mass unemployment, workers walk into their idle factory and refuse to leave. All they want is to re-start the silent machines. But this simple act - the take - has the power to turn the globalization debate on its head. Hosted by Jen. 

PLUS thrilling and funny short films, an intermission, and great company. 

Friday July 22nd, 8:00pm 
Railroad Tracks at Fair Ave, Santa Cruz 

BRING lawn chairs, blankets, pillows, friends, wine, & food to share for intermission. Donations are greatly appreciated and directly support the project and the Revolutionary Garden Society who sponsors Guerilla Drive-In. (We are currently saving to get a spare projector bulb.) 

SANTA CRUZ GUERILLA DRIVE-IN is an outdoor movie theatre under the stars that springs up unexpectedly in the fields and industrial wastelands. Beyond showing great movies and bringing a broad community together, part of our mission is helping reclaim public space and transforming our urban environment into the joyful playground it should be. 

SUBURBAN WASTELAND LOCATION: S on Hwy 17 to Hwy 1, Hwy 1 north to Mission St, L on Fair Ave after Feral Donuts, walk a short way along the RR tracks to the right.

latest details.

2:00 ~ 6:00 PM, American University
Collaboration strategy brainstorm among truth movement leaders, veteran &
victim family groups, indie media activists and foreign journalists.

OVERALL PURPOSE
Potent insights into the coup d'état we face emerge whenever citizens
working on Iraq lies, 9/11, troop abuse, stolen elections and/or the
"missing" government trillions gather and compare notes. This DC Emergency
Truth Convergence presumes that we now have enough dangerous truths,
damning facts, and populist media to deliver the evidence of treachery
throughout the land. It's now time to clarify that vision, join with
veterans and victim families, and assist media activists everywhere in
reenacting Paul Revere.

THE CHALLENGE TO INDIE MEDIA ACTIVISTS

Truth Math 101: In 2004, 70% of Karl Rove's red voters still believed
Saddam had WMD and trysts with Al Qaeda. 70% of Americans who knew the
truth voted blue. According to Zogby, most New Yorkers reject the official
9/11 story. The blues carried New York by over one million votes and NYC
by 81%. Do the math. Truth matters. Truth matters more when the country's
in crisis. Truth matters most when thousands are dying without a clue.
This is the challenge facing our independent media. Leaders selling war,
repression and corporate rule could fool a lot less people a lot less of
the time if indie media flooded the streets and airwaves with badly needed
truths. Today's bloody liars are red. Tomorrow's may be blue. Only
grassroots media vigilance and collaboration can thwart their propaganda
and reverse their corporate coup. George Orwell taught us, "in a time of
universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act." Multiply that
act by a thousand street zines, blogs, and community broadcast outlets and
we can finally overthrow this coup.

Please come to DC and
END THE FEAR HERE!
Publicize the Master Lies
Behind the Endless War
.
CHEAP ACCOMMODATIONS STILL AVAILABLE

#  POWER MANIFESTATION - Level One: The Basics
 Honing Your Internal Guidance  “Do the Bleep”

"You are already manifesting every moment, 
 are you getting what you want?"

 Zen DeBrücke's courses will transform how you see the world and change your life. This day-long introduction will provide you with the fundamentals of manifestation, and give you the confidence to use the Power Manifestation Formula effectively.

Power Manifestation-Level One: The Basics

Saturday, July 23, 2005
 San Francisco, California
or
Sunday, July 24, 2005
 Los Gatos, California 

YOU WILL LEARN:

o     The powerful part you play as your own ultimate source of prosperity
o     To understand how your underlying emotions and feelings affect your ability to be successful
o     How your childhood, life experience, and social conditioning have constructed desires and beliefs
o     How to recognize the emotional and mental bonds that stop abundant living from being part of your life
o     How to magnetize what you really want, and to make it come quickly
o     How to empower new ideas that will lead you to a more fulfilling and harmonious life

COURSE TOPICS WILL INCLUDE:
o     Honing your life's purpose and passion based on your Internal Guidance System
o     Distinguishing the beliefs that hold you back from getting what you want in life
o     Applying the principles of Flow vs. Force, so that you flow with more ease in your life more often, and mistakenly apply force less often
o     Achieving greater spiritual awareness and connection with the Divine

TESTIMONIAL:

 “A few months ago I took a one-day Power Manifestation Course with Zen DeBrücke that has profoundly impacted my approach to knowing what I want, meeting my life's challenges, understanding my own internal guidance, and breaking through areas where I've felt stuck.

 “I feel that I have finally discovered a program and mentor that help me understand why my personal approach to creating what I want in my life takes so much energy and doesn't work half the time...Zen DeBrücke's Power Manifestation Course is the real deal...I was totally shocked to see how much I loved every minute.”

# "Is San Francisco Going to Pot?"
Featuring: Drug Policy Alliance director Ethan Nadelmann and Mayor Gavin Newsom 
Tuesday July 26, 2005, 5:30-7:30 pm 
Jewish Community Center of San Francisco 
3200 California Street, San Francisco, CA 94118 
http://www.drugpolicy.org/events/event.cfm?eventID=543 
FREE lecture on drug policy reform
 San Francisco is once again at the center of a national debate. More than 80% of San Franciscans say medical marijuana should be legally available and a majority even supports regulating, controlling, and taxing marijuana more or less like alcohol. But the federal government says "no" to medical marijuana, just as patients, advocates, bureaucrats, and politicians in San Francisco attempt to create a regulatory system in response to the proliferation of "pot clubs." Will "the city that knows how" do the right thing? Mayor Gavin Newsom and Drug Policy Alliance director Ethan Nadelmann will tackle the controversial question, "Is San Francisco Going to Pot?"

# China Three Gorges video screening and photo show

Wednesday, July 27th

6pm-9pm video screeing at 7pm sharp

Free, donations accepted
 
Space Gallery presents Holding Ground Under Water, a one night only photography exhibit and video screening of footage documenting the population resettlement along the Yangtze River in China's famed Three Gorges.

Between 2001 and 2003, photojournalist and video artist Benjamin Sandler made four separate trips to the Three Gorges region in China.  He traveled the length of the river, visiting large cities and small towns due to be affected by construction of the Three Gorges Dam. Along the way he conducted numerous impromptu interviews with people directly affected by the dam and the resettlement scheme.  Reactions to the project were candid and reflected many varied viewpoints. Mr. Sandler's photographs and video are meant to provide a lasting document of a region and its people that will be permanently altered.

The sluice gates of the controversial Three Gorges Dam were closed in June of 2003 and the first stage of inundation has been completed.  The water level rose to 443 feet, washing away what remained of dismantled cities and evacuated pasturelands.  Already, more than half of those affected by the project have been forced to relocate to new cities built on higher ground, or to 'host communities' in far removed coastal cities.  By 2009, if the construction project is completed on schedule, an estimated 1.2 to 2 million people will have been forced to relocate.

This show is for one night only, Wednesday, July 27th from 6-9pm.  The video screening will be at 7pm sharp, and with special permission from Four Square Productions Canada, will begin with a 40 minute piece entitled Man vs. Water, part 2 in a 3 part series produced for Discovery Channel Canada.  Water, Water examines this century's next great challenge, managing the world's water resources.   In addition there will be a silent photo auction, to raise money to translate interviews, and commence editing for a feature length movie.  All in attendance will receive a 4x6 inch signed and editioned print, while they last.

Holding Ground Under Water is part of an ongoing photo and video documentary on the Three Gorges Dam and it's impact on the people and environment in the Yangtze River Basin.

Simnuke Art Exhibit Indicts Sixty Years of the Atomic Age at
San Francisco's RX Gallery From July 28 through August 25

San Francisco, a city known for activism and creativity, will host the
emotional and politically charged Simnuke Art Exhibit on July 28th, 7pm
to midnight, at Rx Gallery, 132 Eddy Street. Over the last sixty years,
people
all over the world have lived with the looming threat of nuclear arms.
For the artists exhibiting in the Simnuke Art Exhibit, this struggle
expresses itself through searing commentary and stunning artwork
condemning the nuclear arms race.

The Simnuke Art Exhibit is part of the Simnuke Project, a three-part
memorial to the atomic age. On July 16, 2005 at 05:29:45 local time the
Simnuke Project will commemorate the 60-year anniversary of Trinity by
simulating the look and feel of the detonation of a nuclear device.

The art of the Simnuke Art Exhibit is co-curated by Sasha Harris-Cronin
and Max Carlson and comprises 20 artists from the United States and
Japan.  The exhibit pieces will range from photography to kinetic
sculpture, from humorous statements to solemn exposés.  In addition,
there will be an exhibit of government documents from the Prelinger
Library tracing the history of the atomic era in public policy.

The artists in the Simnuke Art Exhibit include: Carole Gallagher,
Michael Light, Richard Ross, Aaron Ximm, Yosuke Yamahata, Bryan Cole,
Robert Dohrmann, Joy Garnett, Jenne Giles, Mark Henson, Garret Izumi,
Tracy Jacobs, Kerry Loewen, Yoshiko McFarland, Yumiko Oda, Astrid
Olafsen, Aryana Farsai Roxborough, Corrine Schulze, Elin O'Hara Slavick,
and Jeff Young.

As global nuclear proliferation blooms into reality, and the United
States moves ahead with so-called tactical "bunker busters" and nuclear
arms in space, it is critical that this powerful collection reach an
audience. Co-curator Sasha Harris-Cronin stated, "If we can make one
person leave the gallery, go home, and write their congressperson, then
we have made a difference."

Greenbelt Alliance's Vision http://www.greenbelt.org 
Greenbelt Alliance's vision is of a vibrant San Francisco Bay Area with a healthy environment and a strong economy shared by all. In our vision, central cities and existing suburbs are desirable places to live bounded by a protected greenbelt. This greenbelt includes agricultural, wilderness, habitat, watershed, and recreational lands and is recognized as essential to the Bay Area's environmental and economic health. All residents share a high quality of life, including access to affordable housing, a good education, cultural amenities, effective public transportation and open space. Finally, there is a widely shared ethic that recognizes the region's interdependence and a system of governance that fosters effective public decision-making to address regional needs.

# NEW GROUP IN TOWN:  ANIMAL SWITCHBOARD - GRAND OPENING CELEBRATION - JULY 31
O.K., FOLKS, IT'S TIME TO PUT UP OR SHUT UP -

See the invitation below.  As you know, The Fund for Animals office at 
Fort Mason was closed recently in the wake of the merger with the Humane 
Society of the U.S.  In an attempt to keep that office space open as an 
invaluable resource center for Bay Area activists, a new group named 
ANIMAL SWITCHBOARD has been incorporated (5-member board, no paid 
employees).  We're on a month-to-month lease with Fort Mason.  Monthly 
expenses will be at least $500 (rent/phone/fax, etc.)  Many of you wrote 
in support of keeping the office open, particularly in light of its long 
history as a resource and meeting place for local activists and 
activities.  And many of you receiving this notice have used this 
facility over the years--you know who you are.  Now it's pay-back time!  
WE NEED YOUR BODIES, YOUR IDEAS, AND ESPECIALLY YOUR FINANCIAL SUPPORT 
IN THE COMING MONTHS.  Consider a monthly, ongoing donation to help keep 
this office, why dontcha?  Volunteers are also needed to staff the phone 
and do basic office work.  Computer expertise especially welcome.  You?

Please contact ANIMAL SWITCHBOARD at 415/474-4021 (or Eric Mills at 
510/652-5603) to tell us how you can help.  And do come to the Grand 
Opening Party on Sunday, July 31, 2:00-5:00 p.m.  We'll show you a good 
time.
