Jim Henley is not right, neither is Kynn, Googlebombing and other forms of culture jamming are needed. They are creative outlets for the crushing weight of the military state. What needs to happen, and both Jim and Kynn point to this, is that that can't be ALL that we do.

"First, it gave a context for the failed promise of Reconstruction and placed black life in a global context. Mr. Du Bois wrote against the backdrop of a world where the European powers at the Berlin Conference of 1884-1885 "with great gusto" carved up Africa and where America, as a result of the Spanish-American War, strode onto the international stage as an imperial power."

"Just a little reminder of all the countries the US has bombed since WWII: China (1945-1946, 1950-1953), Korea (1950-1953), Guatemala (1954, 1967-1969), Indonesia (1958), Cuba (1959-1960), the Belgian Congo (1964), Peru (1965), Laos (1964-1973), Vietnam (1961-1973), Cambodia (1969-1970), Grenada (1983), Libya (1986), El Salvador (1980s) Nicaragua (1980s), Panama (1989), Bosnia (1995), Sudan (1998), Yugloslavia (1999), Afghanistan (2001-?), Iraq (1991-?). How many innocent lives do you think were lost? I'll give you a good guess: MILLIONS. Millions of people dead. Millions of people who were mostly just poor and in the wrong political place at the wrong political time. Is that not terror? Oh, and are the rich countries or the poor countries the ones that produce and sell almost all of the weapons throughout the world? Also, Is there not a clear and distinguishable connection between the arms industry, the oil industry, major media networks, and US foreign policy makers? I would like to thank Arundhati Roy for this little reminder. Oh yeah and btw, Happy Consumption Day, i.e. Christmas and all the other consumer holidays!"

"Nafta 10 Years Afta, The North American Free Trade Agreement took hold 10 years ago, after a bruising, arm-twisting debate. Today it is more than ever a politically charged symbol of the promises and perils of free trade.
The accord, known as Nafta, brought under one canopy three hugely different economies: the wealthy United States, middle-class Canada and striving Mexico. The disparities made Nafta the boldest gamble ever on the proposition that free trade could benefit all.
Leaders promised the accord would create millions of good jobs, curb illegal immigration and raise living standards "from the Yukon to the Yucatan." A decade later, the verdict, even among Nafta's strongest supporters, is that for those goals free trade by itself is not enough."

"For the Romans, the putting down of Jewish rebellions, or the persecution of Christians, was all part of empire-maintenance. They were equal-opportunity oppressors. In the National Museum of Damascus is a replica of Trajan's Column, built in second-century Rome by Apollodorus, who hailed from Damascus. The friezes on the column depict Trajan's conquest of Dacia - modern-day Romania. In blood-loving detail, the sculptures depict the carnage of battle, even the mass suicide of Dacians, unwilling to be enslaved by the Romans. Trajan, not satisfied with that conquest, went on conquer Mesopotamia - our Iraq. "

The Pentagon may not allow delivery of the armor because they haven't approved it. The problem faced by the 428th is that their vehicles were not designed for combat and won't repel even small arms fire."

Yesterday, www.kucinich.us disappeared from Google and other
search engines. We have reason to believe that someone sent
very numerous requests to search engines requesting that the
site be listed (which it already was), and that as a result it
was removed. Google considers programs that submit to hundreds
of search engines at once as spam and removes sites using these
tools from its indexes. It's unlikely but conceivable that this
was even done by an overzealous supporter.
The last thing you should do is contact the search engines. We're
doing so. But you should do this right away: put a link to
www.kucinich.us on any website you control, and make the link use
the words "Kucinich for President," and put the www.kucinich.us
address in the signature of your Emails. Despite this setback,
the site had its biggest day ever yesterday, so this is no time
to get disheartened!
