The White phorpous is a terror weapon perfect for driving people away, “never to return.” The Zionist dream is and has always been for many, at least, to remove the native Arab population and posses all of “Greater Israel.” This inhuman weapon nicknamed “Willie Pete.” is perfect for the effort. When it comes into contact with human flesh it moves down toward the bone, tissues evaporate. Victims may survive for some time before vital organs are compromised, effecting death. Parents watch the agony and may be forced to end their children’s wild sufferings by shortening their lives in “other ways.”

This loss of equity spent on consumer goods and expenses is a pyramid scheme of hyper-capitalism that is flawed and failing. Equity not spent on the property the equity comes from, is equity lost forever, a mis-appropriation of funds, and inappropriate; it is a failing economic model.

Editorial Policy: The Open Publishing Newswire is an essential part of the Indymedia project. It is a globally accessible space for anyone to quickly self-publish breaking news, articles, commentary, digital photos, and audio. Los Angeles Indymedia volunteers moderate the newswire. In the last year and a half, the Los Angeles IMC Open Publishing Newswire has been besieged with detractive postings, other items, and commentary that are far away from what the Newswire is meant to be: a vital source of progressive and radical breaking news, commentary, articles, and announcements. There are no easy or perfect solutions to moderating an Open Publishing Newswire, rich with a healthy democracy of views. We have agreed by consensus on the following guidelines to help us decide what postings are appropriate and what are not. We believe that these guidelines will help to make the moderating process clearer for IMC volunteers and anyone who self-publishes; we hope to create an unencumbered, useful and Open Publishing Newswire for readers worldwide. We strongly recommend that you read our editorial policy

(Un) Coincidentally, Cesar had also recently aided the community in their demands for a new school and site-based management. A call for action is occurring.

Eyewitness Says Aristide Did NOT Flee- He was Forced Out at Gunpoint by US Soldiers (tags)
A French reporter on the scene in Haiti found a terrified old man - a palace caretaker, he believes - cowering in a corner. The old man said US soldiers came in and forced Aristide to leave at gun point.

The body of a man murdered by right wing death squards lies in the street following the chaos that followed the forced departure of elected Haitian President Jean Bertrand Aristide. The U.S. backed coup makers, joined by police, are at this moment chasing down supporters of President Aristide and killing them. KPFA Radio, along with news media in Australia and France, are reporting that U.S. SOLDIERS KIDNAPPED Aristide at GUNPOINT and took him away in handcuffs.

t's as if our entire colonial experiment, known as "America" had been bought at an auction without our consent, as slaves were sold not so long ago. Unfortunately, the highest bidders happened to be the multinational arms manufacturers, oil companies, and drug pushers. Now, with the protection of the CIA, the NSA, the DIA, FBI, DEA, ATF, etc. and their neofascist "Homeland Security" Department which bundles them together, these extremely wealthy elitists feel they can get away with anything, kill as many people as they like and have their media paint it as heroism, take away an entire nation and replace it with profitable industrial dictatorship and call this "democracy." It would all be laughable if it weren't so deadly.
Shielded from the reality of war -- the dead, the horribly maimed, the uranium poisoned, the psychologically devastated -- we are given a sanitized fantasy of war that shields Bush from the political consequences of this bloody, unnecessary war.

Are breakaway marches a good tactic? (tags)
Radical elements of the anti-war movement have used "breakway marches," in which a smaller group breaks away from the main (peaceful and legal) march, and engages in "direct action" of some sort, to good effect in SF, LA, & NYC. At this early stage of the movement, that is probably a good idea. However, once war with Iraq actually breaks out in earnest, radical anti-capitalists should seek to seize control of the main marches themselves, wresting them away from the reformist misleaders, and taking the streets in a massive showing of the power of the people.

Gray Davis and Republican challenger Bill Simon, turned away the man most polls show running third: Green Party candidate Peter Camejo.
