church & AIDS

President Bush's $15 billion effort to fight AIDS has handed out nearly one-quarter of its grants to religious groups that aggressively emphasize abstinence over actual reality.

Religious organizations last year accounted for more than 23 percent of all groups that got HIV/AIDS grants.

Bush and the Republican-led Congress mandated that one-third of prevention money be reserved for abstinence and monogamy.
Condom promotion to anyone must include abstinence messages, However, those preaching abstinence do not have to provide condom education.

The push for abstinence and marriage is pushing girls to get married younger and not finish their education.

FBI and Homeland Security spy on vegans!

FBI joins right-wing think tanks against 'direct action.'

the best on Hamas

USA & Israel tell Hamas to abandon the platform that got them elected.

By "peace partner", they mean Zionist victory.

Fatah activists upset; demand end of corruption and no coalition with Hamas.
Abu Mazen (Abbas) suggests reactivating PLO as negotiating partner with Israel!

Israel has gotten what they wanted.

Hamas street cred is a lot different than running a non-autonomous government.

various tidbits

X-Men 3 has been given the subtitle "The Last Stand".
It is to serve as the end to the trilogy of X-Men films.

Palestinian election zeal


Hamas has swept Palestinian legislative elections!

Hamas is an Islamist Party and considered "terrorist" by Israel, USA, & European Union.
The party will have won control of Palestinian parliament from Fatah.

This huge Hamas victory can be attributed to a few things.
First of all, most Palestinians consider Fatah to be corrupt and ineffective (although the old school Fatah have maintained an unfair grip on power and have been corrupted by power and the influence of Israel and USA, its ineffectiveness is primarily a result of Israeli terms being imposed upon it.)
(It should be noted that at one point, Israel funded Hamas in a divide and conquer strategy against secular left-wing PLO factions.)
Another key point in the popularity of Hamas is the party's unapologetic stance as an anti-Zionist resistance movement. On the other hand, Fatah has largely accepted a role as bantustan leadership. If Fatah wants to maintain a popular role, I suggest they turn to imprisoned Fatah leader, Marwan Barghouti.

Until VERY recently, Fatah had refused to form a coalition with Hamas.
Israel & USA have said that they will refuse to acknowledge Hamas as the legitimate spokesparty of Palestine.

Factory Girl

Lou Reed slammed the upcoming film, Factory Girl, about Edie Sedgwick saying,
"I read that script. It's one of the most disgusting, foul things I've seen - by any illiterate retard - in a long time."

bummer, eh?

Conservative Party wins Canada election.


(Luckily, The House Of Commons is divided)

American Hardcore!

A 90 minute documentary on early hardcore will debut later this month at Sundance Film Festival!

The film was put together by Paul Rachman (best known for directing videos for Alice In Chains and Pantera) and writer Steven Blush (who wrote the 2001 book "American Hardcore").

Highlights include rare live clips of Bad Brains, MDC and Negative Approach, as well as countless interviews.

Blush points out. "When we go see Flea from the Red Hot Chili Peppers, it's this mansion up in the hills in Malibu, and then on the other hand, you see how poor some of these people are, and how bitter some of these people are -- people who did not get their due."
__

I have read the book, "American Hardcore". It is flawed but overall I loved it and it helped put our community today into perspective. I can only hope this film does the book justice (and does not lead anymore douchebags into the scene).

Rogue State

William Blum's "Rogue State: A Guide to the World's Only Superpower" was ranked 209,000 on Amazon.com's sales list before Osama bin Laden suggested Americans read it in an audiotape released last Thursday. By Friday, the book was No. 30 on the Amazon.com list.

Blum also wrote:
-"Killing Hope: U.S. Military and CIA Interventions Since World War II,"
-"Freeing the World to Death: Essays on the American Empire"
-"West Bloc Dissident: A Cold War Political Memoir."

Evo!

As Bolivia's left-wing Indian President was sworn in, he gave the power salute and declared,

List of Targets

snitch

On the news, I saw 3 sons who had turned in their own father for bankrobbery.
It made me think of Ted Kaczynski and his snitch brother, David.

I know a lot of anarchists have great respect for Ted Kaczynski.
Why haven't any of them gone after his brother????????

(Of course, I am not advocating any harm befall David Kaczynski. No one should ever find him.)

The Wall Street Journal attacked an anarchist associate professor at Yale.
He attacked right back!

information overload

One of my hopes with the seemingly increase in domestic intelligence gathering by the US government, was that the agencies would be overwhelmed with the information and unable to adequately sift through it all.

They are.

morning radio

In the post-Howard Stern void on SF radio station Live105, the station opted to not go with the douchebag West Coast "replacement" Adam Corrolla.
I do not believe that the average Live105 audience ever embraced Stern.
The new Morning Music Co-op had the potential to be a music based Bay Area flavored radio program.

Today, I caught a brief segment of the show featuring comic, Doug Stanhope.

Apparently, Stanhope worked with Girls Gone Wild and was telling the show how much it sucked. He referred to the guy behind the Girls Gone Wild series as a scumbag rapist. He had no respect for the series and did not want to be recognized as "the guy who raped my daughter". He said he only considered himself the guy who was paid to make the rape funny.
Upon his saying that, the radio show paused. The female co-host asked if rape was ever funny. Her male co-hosts joined in and they all denounced rape as never being funny.

The subject then turned to Stanhope's stint on The Man Show. He said that show stole his soul.

Then the overly excited male co-host began discussing Stanhope's stand-up act in which he claims to only support some of the troops in the US military.
Stanhope went into great detail explaining how he hopes the "alpha males" that go into the military to kill people are the first to die.

I was left with a feeling that for morning radio programs, this was a turn in a somewhat positive direction.

Check out Doug Stanhope's website:

Why is the US press giving such intense coverage of Ariel Sharon's health!?!?!?

bombin' Starbucks

Yesterday, on 1/9, a bomb was found in a SF Starbucks (at Van Ness & Bush) by an employee.
Polce were called, the block was shut down and evacuated, and the bomb was disabled.

Interestingly, the police said no one phoned in a bomb threat or took responsibility for the device.
SFPD said investigators have a "pretty good lead" on a suspect.

NEWS: sex, music, & meat

I don't know, Barbie

The Barbie website asks for the child's gender.
It provides 3 options:
-I am a boy
-I am a girl
-I don't know


Concerned Women for America are pissed.
CWA is a right-wing Christian group and writes: "The iconic Barbie Doll has become another tool for promoting gender confusion among children."

CWA is also committed to
-"definition of family" (fighting same-sex marriage)
-"sanctity of life" (anti-abortion)
-"religious liberty" (fighting for fundamentalist Christianity)
-"national sovereignty" (anti- UN)
CWA is also anti-pornography and anti-hate crime legislation.

Their Chief Financial Officer and spokesperson are both men.

Dead Miners are as American as apple pie!

The Sago Mine in Tallmansville, WV, reportedly "received 208 citations from MSHA during 2005, up from 68 citations in 2004," following what is described as "one of the 'unnecessary' proposals canceled by the mining executive Bush appointed to head the MSHA."

(taken from Cursor)

I was just sick of seeing doctors and mining reps talk about all the options trapped miners have.
As if any of them were actually possible (like "move to a different section of the mine") and the media not asking further questions.
