Organizing for the Port Shutdown

Challenging the assertion that the Occupy movement is trying to impose a shutdown of West Coast docks without support from port workers.

(OAKLAND) - The Port of Oakland (Daniel Parks) THE OCCUPY movement is trying to strong-arm longshore workers and truck drivers into shutting down West Coast ports December 12--or so say critics of the action.

They're wrong. Those organizing for action on the docks are neither the outside agitators described by employers nor the ultra-left adventurists snubbed by union leaders and their apologists.

Vietnam Blue Water Navy: One step closer for VA benefits

The American people needs to be aware of how this horrible herbicide has infected thousands of Naval personnel. We served onboard ship in the Vietnam war zone. We too were infected by agent orange dioxin.

Convincing evidence in a scientific paper by two forensic experts of the murder of Colonel James E. Sabow rejected by leading forensic journals.

(SALEM) - Col. Jim Sabow helped implement the Marine Corps AV8 Harrier program which continues to this day. The difference between homicide and suicide can sometimes be a close call, requiring extensive pathological review and crime scene reconstruction.

(SALEM) - Mustafa Tamimi Every death of every person in Palestine who perishes from violence is terrible, but the recent death of Mustafa Tamimi, who was shot in the face with a tear gas canister by the Israeli army on Friday, stands out.

Colombo: Just One More Thing for Cameron

RAISING TAMILS' FATE on London May Day march. Bell Pottinger have different ways to get across their message. At a cost, of course.

(LONDON) - Tamil solidarity in London AS Prime Minister David Cameron arrives home from Brussels wondering which of the masters he faces is going to cane him the worst, his fellow EU chiefs of government or the Euro-Skeptics in his Tory party, he will doubtless be grateful for small mercies, such as attention being taken away from lesser issues looming, like the extent of private influence on his government.

Put out the flags for patriotism, though they are probably sewn in the sweatshops of some distant foreign land, our ruling scoundrels need their shelter.

(BERKELEY, Calif.) - Farm dust The U.S. House of Representatives on Thursday passed a bill (HR 1633) that would establish a temporary prohibition against revising any national ambient air quality standard applicable to coarse particulate matter in order to limit federal regulation of "nuisance dust" in areas in which such dust is regulated under state, tribal, or local law.

Hanging Tough in Juarez

“In the 50’s, when the romantic songs like ‘Viajera’ invaded the radio stations, the ladies wore wide skirts, the men used big shoulder jackets and pour grease on their hair...

(CIUDAD JUAREZ, Mexico) - Ciudad Juarez, Mexico Under the circumstances, even the most stubborn personalities steeled in adversity would probably call it quits.

Inside the corridors of the big marketplace, an odd tranquility reigns as the vendors wait for customers. Outside, the day is broken by the occasional sound of ambulances rushing off probably to attend the latest shooting victim.
