"Drawing almost entirely from mainstream press reports, the following pages document the climate of fear created by the media and police in the weeks and days before protests," as well as media coverage of arrests and raids. Also yesterday, the folks over at RNCWatch challenged several prominent right-wing bloggers who have linked the the "anarchist" Daily News story to find the website quoted extensively by the News

Now or Never for the Biscuit -- Cascadia EcoDefense this month!
, 16.07.2004 03:11
With the first auction of the Biscuit Sales (the largest logging project in the modern history of the Forest Service) set for Friday July 16th, it is Now or Never for Oregon's Wild Siskiyous! The sales are not subject to legal action due to "emergency status determination." The "emergency" is that the trees might rot and be worth less money if the process is slowed by public participation and legal action. Protests at the first five Biscuit Auctions on Friday are followed by a camp out at one of the auctioned sales. Events from slideshows to action camps are staking up to culminate August 27th - 30th with the Cascadia EF! Summer Rendevous, also in the Biscuit. On July 30th, A "Summer Celebration of Life" brings together musicians, artists, and activists in a benefit for the Tre Arrow Legal Defense Fund; Tre is wanted by US authorities for an alleged arson, and is seeking refugee status in Canada. From July 31st - August 2nd, the Cascadia Forest Defenders and Cascadia Rising EcoDefense will be hosting an Action Camp at the Straw Devil timber sale near Eugene, Oregon. Throughout the next month there will be a hike and camp-out at Medicine Lake, a site sacred to local indigenous groups and threatened by Calpine and Halliburton's development through Bush's energy policy. Mark your calendars now to sing and dance with us as we prepare to defend the Siskiyous and all of Cascadia. [ Pdx Indymedia Forest Page | O2 Collective (Siskiyou area) | Cascadia RiSiNG!

Todav��a contin��a el Forum de las Culturas S.A., el f��rum de "la paz, la diversidad y la sostenibilidad". En el eje de la paz se puede destacar la presencia del ex-dictador boliviano S��nchez Lozada y tambi��n la aportaci��n de Robert McNamara, uno de los responsables de la guerra de Vietnam. Sobre la diversidad es destacable el "olvido" de la problem��tica de los inmigrantes sin papeles, el desalojo de un campamento gitano situado cerca del recinto del f��rum o la exclusi��n de cualquier menci��n a la cuesti��n tibetana, ya que parece m��s valiosa la aportaci��n a los di��legos de los guerreros de Xian que no la del dalai lama. Destacan tambi��n, per su ausencia, di��logos sobre conflictos reales, como Euskadi o Israel-Palestina, y es que parece que el conflicto pol��tico permanece excluido y los di��logos tienen que ser abstractos o versar sobre cuestiones m��s divinas que humanas. ::: Cifras de participaci��n ::: Firmas para cerrar el f��rum ::: Susan George en el F��rum ::: Voces ::: Una ciudad sin ciudad ::: La carnavalada de Carlinhos Brown ::: www.forumbcn2004.org :: www.moviments.net/resistencies2004 :: www.fotut2004.org :: www.paterasurbanas.net :: m��s info en secci��n >>>f��rum2004
