BREAKING: Wired Publishes NSA Spying Documents
A file detailing aspects of AT&T's alleged participation in
the National Security Agency's warrantless domestic wiretap operation is
sitting in a San Francisco courthouse. But the public cannot see it
because, at AT&T's insistence, it remains under seal in court records.
The judge in the case has so far denied requests from the
Electronic Frontier Foundation, or EFF, and several news organizations
to unseal the documents and make them public.

Colorado woman sues Durango Herald for 9/11 cover up

German pilots - Fly by wire
I am an avionics tech and no sane person should fly on a plane that has
no mechanical connections (Cables) between the pilot's flight yoke and
the moving control surfaces of the wings and can stop working completely
with just a minor lightning strike on the plane !! -Ranger
911 was pulled off using Boeing 757 and 767 airliners;
the first ever to be built to be fly-by-wire (remote control).
911, if perpetrated by remote control, would not rely on the flying skills of 19 flight school flunkies.
That also might explain the demolition of World Trade Center 7:
not hit by any airliner, but perhaps used to guide the 2 airliners into WTC 1 and 2.
Was mayor Guilliani's 23 floor command bunker in WTC 7 used to control the demoliton?
His command center, along with the records of insider trading on UAL and AA were destroyed.
Silverstein is on tape saying "lets' pull it" (industry term for demolition of a building).
Then, at 5:20 pm on Sept 11, 2001, WTC 7, a structurally intact 47 story skyscraper was demolished.
911 - inside job. Demand investigation!

1) 1200 degree fires do not cause molten metal.
2) 1200 degree fires do not burn for 6 months without additional fuel.
3) Temperatures recorded by thermographic satellite imagery show temps in excess of 1200 degrees CELCIUS weeks after 9/11.
4) Jet fuel and office furniture fires CANNOT reach 1300 degrees Celcius even under optimal conditions.
6) Thermite can.
The owner of wtc 7 DID go public saying thats it needed to be brought down. He admitted in a PBS documentary that he and the NYC fire chief agreed to pull the building late in the afternoon of 9/11.
Now, consider this - if they decided, as the owner of the building states they did, to pull (demolish) building 7 only a few hours before it actually took place, how did they manage to get into a burning building, pack it full of explosives and detonate them - in a manner which demolition experts say takes several weeks if not months to plan?
And remember that the clean up team responsible for ground zero was none other than "Controlled Demolition". The same company that was responsible for OKC building.
The trading firm, A.B. Brown was formerly known as Brown Brothers Harriman. Recently, its board of directors has boasted members that include Buzzy Kronegard and George Tenet (both CIA big wigs). In its early years, the Brown Brothers Harriman group was a banking institution in the United States which filtered large amounts of money for Nazi Germany. On its board of directors at that time, was Prescott Bush, the current president's grandfather.
I think understanding the history of A.B. Brown makes these put options all the less surprising.
News media said:
We found the terrorists: there is an unclaimed kitty on the Chicago
Futures board on UAL and AA Puts!
Then later they realized it was traced back to the CIA trading office
of ALEX BROWN.
END OF STORY.
Dropped like a ton of bricks.
This is a clip from the CameraPlanet 9/11 Archive. A firefighter at
ground zero clearly says that the building must be cleared because
there is a bomb inside. This adds to the weight of testimony from
firefighters that bombs were evident in the WTC.

We would ask the man of the house questions. If he didn't answer the way we liked, we would shoot his youngest kid in the head. We would keep going, this was our interrogation. He could be innocent.

DWR is interactive, educational theatre that explores the Drug War in Colombia, South America (recipient of over $4 billion in US foreign assistance money since 2000) and the US through digital images, puppets and humor. During the show, [puppet character] “Camilo the Campesino Coca Farmer” from Colombia shares his “first person testimony” of being fumigated as part of the US-financed Plan Colombia package while—thousands of miles away--“Strugglin’ Stan the US Hustler” reflects on his experience being incarcerated for a non-violent drug crime. “Carla the Common Sense Mechanic” helps the audience question what is “under the hood” and really “driving” the Drug War, while “Babblin’ Babs the US Bureaucrat” defends current US policy. Our popular education style show is a hit for university, community and faith-based groups; unlike a traditional lecture, our engaging shows invite audiences to get involved in their own learning.

# King Will Do His Thing Tue May 23 8:00 pm
Station 40 3030B 16th St @ Mission
Robert King Wilkerson will speak about his experience as a political
prisoner and his life since his release, including recent work in his
home town of New Orleans.
Robert King Wilkerson, one of the prisoners known as "the Angola 3,"
was released from the Louisiana State Penitentiary on Feb. 8, 2001,
after spending 29 years in solitary confinement for a murder he did
not commit.
Wilkerson, 58, was convicted of the 1973 murder of a fellow Angola
prisoner despite the fact that another man confessed and was convicted
of the murder. After two prisoners who testified against Wilkerson —
the only evidence ever presented against him — retracted their
testimony and revealed that it had been coerced by prison officials,
the United States Court of Appeals in December issued a ruling that
almost certainly would have led to his release.
In response, in what his supporters characterized as a face-saving
move, the state offered Wilkerson a plea bargain, which he accepted.
Six hours later, to the cheers of a throng of family and supporters,
Wilkerson walked out of Angola a free man.
He has pledged to dedicate his life to winning freedom for Albert
Woodfox and Herman Wallace, the other two members of the Angola 3, and
for all of the other innocent men with whom he was incarcerated for
the past three decades.
"I may be free of Angola, but Angola will never be free of me," Wilkerson said.
Woodfox and Wallace have also been held in solitary confinement for 29
years. They were convicted of the 1972 murder of an Angola prison
guard — a murder that they have unwaveringly claimed they did not
commit. In recent years, new evidence of their innocence has surfaced.
Even though the new evidence was suppressed at the time of their
trials, they have thus far been unable to win justice from the courts.
Wilkerson, Woodfox, and Wallace have always believed that they were
framed by prison officials because they organized the Angola chapter
of the Black Panther Party. Prior to being placed in solitary
confinement, the men led campaigns to end prisoner rape, improve race
relations, and ameliorate conditions at the slave
plantation-turned-prison.
All three men entered prison on unrelated robbery charges and quickly
joined the prisoners' rights movement that was sweeping the country in
the late 1960s. In the ensuing years, the men continued their activism
from within solitary confinement by organizing hunger strikes,
educating other prisoners, and by becoming highly-skilled jailhouse
lawyers.
The American Civil Liberties Union is currently pursing a federal
lawsuit alleging that the men's 29-year stay in solitary confinement
amounts to unconstitutional cruel and unusual punishment.
Now that he is free, Wilkerson plans to travel and speak out against
the imprisonment of Woodfox and Wallace and the continuing growth of
the American prison-industrial complex.
He also makes and sells a kind of candy that he perfected during his
time behind bars, a vegan kind of pralines called Freelines.
Scott Fleming, one of the lawyers for the Angola Three, will give a
brief update on the legal position of the case.
There will also be a short film (6 minutes) about the day King walked
free in February 2001 and the subsequent Second Line party in the
Sixth Ward of New Orleans.

http://indybay.org/archives/archive_by_id.php?id=4662&category_id=12
A "National Day of Out(r)age Against the Telcos" will be held on Wednesday, May 24th. In SF, there will be a 12pm street theater protest outside of AT&T Park, to say that people won't play ball with telephone companies that do business with the NSA. There will also be a rally outside of AT&T headquarters, (600 Folsom St., between 2nd and 3rd St) from 4 to 6 pm. The AT&T building is where the NSA set up a secret room to collect phone calls. People are also outraged at efforts by telephone companies, or Telcos, to pass National Video Franchising legislation in Congress, which would negatively impact thousands of local cable access channels.

Recent news also has exposed the privacy violation of millions of telephone users by AT&T and Verizon who willingly handed over call records to the National Security Agency without proper legal warrants. AT&T has also been in the news about it's collusion with the NSA to install computers to track the internet traffic on their Worldnet backbone. Now these same corporation want even more access to homes throughout the country with their fiber networks. We demand accountability and
better protections!

drugwarroadshow@fastmail.fm 503 234 3071
Join the Drug War Roadshow May 24 a special show in San Francisco as we examine the human impact of the War on Drugs in Colombia, South America and the United States. DWR combines classic popular education tools (skits, puppets and humor) with rare on-the-ground digital images that examine the human impacts of US Drug Policy abroad. DWR believes we all should have a say in how we approach drug and crime reduction in our communities and our foreign policy.

DWR is interactive, educational theatre that explores the Drug War in Colombia, South America (recipient of over $4 billion in US foreign assistance money since 2000) and the US through digital images, puppets and humor. During the show, [puppet character] “Camilo the Campesino Coca Farmer” from Colombia shares his “first person testimony” of being fumigated as part of the US-financed Plan Colombia package while—thousands of miles away--“Strugglin’ Stan the US Hustler” reflects on his experience being incarcerated for a non-violent drug crime. “Carla the Common Sense Mechanic” helps the audience question what is “under the hood” and really “driving” the Drug War, while “Babblin’ Babs the US Bureaucrat” defends current US policy. Our popular education style show is a hit for university, community and faith-based groups; unlike a traditional lecture, our engaging shows invite audiences to get involved in their own learning. Yes, the Drug War is serious--but learning about it should be fun! We’ll see you at the show!

# The End of Suburbia Thu May 25 7:00pm-9:30pm Free.
THE END OF SUBURBIA: Oil Depletion and the Collapse of the American
Dream.
Viewers say it best--
"This information is quite shocking. I think many people who thought
they had sufficient information concerning the energy crisis will be
left in a rethinking mode". - Jim, California
"The End of Suburbia is a perfect tool for introducing people to peak
oil. Just enough humor to sugarcoat the bitter pill". - Jason,
California
"...it's one of the most important docs in recent years". - Anthony
Lappe, Guerrilla News Network.
SYNOPSIS: Since World War II, North Americans have invested much of
their newfound wealth in suburbia. It has promised a sense of space,
affordability, family life and upward mobility. As the population of
suburban sprawl has exploded in the past 50 years, so too has the
suburban way of life become embedded in the American consciousness.
Suburbia, and all it promises, has become the American Dream.
But as we enter the 21st century, serious questions are beginning to
emerge about the sustainability of this way of life. The End of
Suburbia explores the American Way of Life and its prospects as the
planet approaches a critical era, as global demand for fossil fuels
begins to outstrip supply. World Oil Peak and the inevitable decline
of fossil fuels are upon us now.
What does Oil Peak mean for North America? As energy prices skyrocket
in the coming years, how will the populations of suburbia react to
the collapse of their dream? And what can be done NOW, individually
and collectively, to avoid The End of Suburbia ?
Commencing at 7:00pm for socializing at Varnish's beer/wine/sake bar,

http://critical-mass.org Bring bicycle, helmet, light, costume, music...
Maybe we can encourage the people who block cross traffic to:
wait until the mass arives at that intersection, so as to offend as few drivers as possible.
Definitely hold up / wait before blocking major intersections. BECAUSE
It would be nice to be visible to as many pedestrians and motorists as possible while
offending/ delaying as few motorists as possible.
Pissing them off is just gonna make them anti-bike.

# Free NLP Personal Transformation Weekend Seminar
Friday, May 26, 2006 - Sunday, May 28, 2006 6:00 PM
I wanted to let you all know that there is a free NLP seminar is happening
May 26, 27, and 28th... This is really a great opportunity....
So, I went to this amazing wonderful 3 day Seminar called "Breakthrough to
Success" about a month ago and had a profoundly transformational experience.
The seminar leader, Christopher Howard, uses NLP practices to take you through powerful
change work around a specific focus area of your choosing - either health, career,
or relationships. (I absolutely love NLP and he is such a master, really!) It
is an opportunity to work with a master trainer for three days and put all your
energy and attention on an area of your life where you would like more fulfillment
and success. The rewards that are possible from taking the time to do something
like this for yourself are immeasurable.
I attended the seminar in January and choose to focus on my career. As a result
of the workshop I have gained inspiring new clarity around my future career direction
and how my to pattern my current experiences to be congruent with that. The workshop
opened doors to more then I had before thought possible. I set strategies for achieving
my desired outcomes and have already taken action on putting some of them into place.
I see this course as valuable to you as a forum for self growth and achieving greater
personal fulfillment, as a place to learn new skills and tools for working with
colleagues, family, friends, and also as an opportunity to attend a super high quality
experiential presentation and apply the learnings you gather from the experience
to times in your future when you may be constructing workshops and training sessions.
Finally I see it as a opportunity for our community to come together and share a
high quality personal development experience, and to gain some new distinctions
around how to LIVE YOUR LIFE AS ART. I will be attending the next workshop (my
second time) and my hope is that a whole bunch of you will be joining me too!

# The Really Really Free Market Sat May 27 12pm-4pm Free!
The Really Really Free market happens on the last Saturday of every
month in Dolores Park from 12-4 pm.
What is The Really REALLY Free Market?
It's like a large community-wide garage sale, except everything is
FREE! Yes, that's right, FREE! Everyone is invitied to bring things
to GIVE AWAY!
So this is like bartering or trading, right?
Nope. Bartering and trading go something like this: I've got this
great shirt here, what can you offer me for it?
The RRFM goes something like this: I've got this really great shirt
here. I don't really wear it anymore, but I'd hate to see it go to
waste. Do you want it? Great! Here, it's yours!
Why would i want to do a thing like that?
Because you have to many things already! Because you're just going to
throw it away anyway. Because it FEELS GOOD! Do you have things
cluttering up your home? Maybe some stuff that you don't use anymore,
but you know that someone else would probably love. One person's
trash can truly be another person's
treasure!
What should I bring?
Bring *your thing* to the RRFM, whatever that is! Material goods,
food or drinks, a service to provide, a skill you have that you want
to teach to others, a performance, or anything else!
What if I don't have anything to give away?
Everyone has something to give to others. The RRFM isn't just about
giving away *stuff.* What is it that you do? Why not come to the RRFM
and find a way to do it for others, except this time for free just
for the fun of it. As a gift to others, as a gift to yourself. It's a
way of reclaiming meaning in your job, to give it as a gift,
unmediated by commerce.
Who runs the RRFM?
Well, the RRFM consists of the sum of its participants. The gift you
bring to the event, helps create what the event is for others, just
as what others bring to the event, creates what the event is for you.
That said, there are some folks who came together to help create the
structure for the RRFM to work. But it is our hope that soon enough,
our role within the RRFM will be the same as everyone else's. That
is, that each of us decides our own level
of involvement.
The RRFM is yours!
Take advantageous of that. Make it what you want it to be! If you
want to see something happening at the RRFM that isn't already
happening, than make it happen! If you want to see more people coming
to the RRFM, help spread the word! Send emails to your friends, make
and distribute flyers (make your ownor download them from the
website), talk to people about the RRFM.
----
Please help us keep the RRFM a 100% FREE and non-commercial event.

# Springfest 5/27
With temperatures soaring like the price of gas, False Profit is cashing
in on the natural heat of spring time. Don't miss your opportunity to be
part of this incredible annual cycle of renewal and rebirth. FP is
partnering with the Rhythm Society venture capitalists and invoking the
Visionary Arts Community to offer you a special daytime event at a park in
the Easy Bay hills. Mark your calendar for May 27 (that's Saturday on
Memorial Day weekend), because this is one event you can't afford to miss!
{{{ SpringFest, 5/27/06 }}}

No other daytime party can deliver 100 feet of water falls, peaceful
reflective pools, stone stairways, and a killer view. This is not
something that happens every day, because May 27 is not just any day. It's
SpringFest, and we must be crazy to give this all away. That's right, this
is a FREE party. Donations are, of course, appreciated to help with the
expenses for the permits and sound. Most importantly, remember that the
life you enjoy may be your own.

# Marine World Demo - Be There!!!!!
Join Local Activists at a Protest at Six Flags Marine World on
Memorial Day Weekend
Leaflets and signs will be provided at the demo?just show up and
bring some friends!
When: Saturday May 27 and Monday May 29 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.
Where: Six Flags Marine World, Vallejo, by the ticket booths

20World&country=US&address=2001%20Marine%20World%
20Pky&city=Vallejo&state=CA&zipcode=94589&phon
Why: To educate the public about why Six Flags should not use
animals for entertainment and should close their animal exhibits
and shows.
For more information contact Alfredo Kuba 650-965-8705 or
bkind2animals@comcast.net.
Six Flags exploits more than 1,500 animals at the amusement park
- ranging from an orca whale and other marine mammals to
elephants, tigers, and reptiles. Recently Six Flags shipped away
an elephant and brought in new elephants.
We are highlighting that Six Flags should immediately close the
elephant exhibit and stop giving elephant rides and send the
reported seven elephants at the Park to the 2,700-acre Elephant
Sanctuary in Tennessee.
Six Flags Marine World uses negative reinforcement and weapons
(i.e. bullhook) to inflict pain and fear in order to control
elephants. A bullhook, which resembles a fireplace poker, is
used to "hook" elephants in their most sensitive areas. The park
is also known to chain elephants for prolonged periods and does
not provide adequate space for these animals who in the wild
travel tens of miles a day. This lack of space creates health
problems leading to premature deaths.
Marine World's Record of Animal Abuse:
Violated Federal Laws - In 1998, the federal government cited
the park for animal welfare law violations after a baby sea lion
literally cooked to death when the heat in her enclosure rose to
over 100 degrees.
Forces Dolphins and Whales to Perform "Tricks" - When a dolphin
or whale performs "tricks" at the park, you are watching an
animal who is hungry and performing for food. Dolphins and
whales have faces that appear to be smiling, but they are not
smiling. Tricks performed are unnatural and forced.
Separates Baby Elephant from Mother - In 1998, the park
"acquired" a 2-year-old elephant from a zoo in Missouri,
callously separating him from his mother. This is emotionally
devastating for both mother and baby; wild male elephants
usually stay with their mothers up to 14 years of age.

Using hidden cameras and never-before-seen footage, this documentary
film chronicles day-to-day practices of the largest industries in the
world, all of which rely entirely on animals for profit. It shows the
animal cruelty that occurs every day and it shows what our human
thirst for cheaper and cheaper products and more and more money does
to human beings every day.
Before and after the film, everyone's invited to indulge in our

# Wednesday, June 7, 7:30 pm -- Estate Planning Workshop
Got a plan?
You may have seen the ads. They depict tragic scenarios -- mouths clogged
with peanut butter, cookies with nowhere to be dipped - truly, we are warned of
the horrors awaiting those with an inadequate dairy beverage supply.
Out here in the real world, though, there are more pressing issues. There are
questions that might need answers: Who will take care of your kids if you
can't? How can you protect the people you love? If you can't speak for yourself,
who will - and will they care what you think about it?
CSC is proud to present Estate Planning for Everyone, a seminar designed to
answer these and other questions about guardianship, wills, trusts, Advance
Health Care Directives and more. CSC board member Kathleen Hunt, Esq. is the
founder of Unique Law, a law practice serving unique individuals and their

# Ducky Doolittle 6/13!: June 13th / SAN FRANCISCO, CA
The Hot & Bothered Show

goggles, balls, female ejaculation, weird things found in people's butts, the truth
about butt-gasms, outlawed sex toys, banned books and fear of sex education
in America. Combine all that and you get a hilarious and thought-provoking look
at today's twisted libido.

Maybe we can encourage the people who block cross traffic to:
wait until the mass arives at that intersection, so as to offend as few drivers as possible.
Definitely hold up / wait before blocking major intersections. BECAUSE
It would be nice to be visible to as many pedestrians and motorists as possible while
offending/ delaying as few motorists as possible.
Pissing them off is just gonna make them anti-bike.
July 2006
# July 2006 is the month to Bring the War Home to cities across the
nation with Direct Action and Civil Disobedience to shut down all metropolitan
areas. Then organizers from around the world will converge on DC August
10th through the 14th to confront the true war machine.
SHUT DOWN DC: August 10th through 14th, 2006. There will be massive
decentralized direct action against all government and corporate
entities.
The vast majority of government and corporate war profiteers are based
in DC, and its time they experience war first hand. Let's bring the war to
their homes, their offices, their parties and everywhere else they go.
As long as there is a war abroad, we must also have a war at home. With
the Iran war looming, the Iraq war lingering, and dozens of other wars
raging, it is long past time to bring the war home.
With thousands expected to descend on our fair city, mass housing, free
vegan food, and a convergence space will all be available. Mark your
calendars, tell your friends, plan to come to DC August 10th through
14th, 2006.
More information and details will be coming, and our website should be
up soon. Keep checking back for more details. In the meantime email

# July 15 - Day of Action against Climate Change and G8 - EF! Call to Action!
A call to action from Earth First! Climate Caucus and Rising Tide North America
July 15th 2006 -- Direct Action for Climate Justice
International Day of Direct Action
against Climate Change and the G8
Rise Up Against G8 Policies
Target Fossil Fuel Industries in Your Town or Bioregion
On July 15th, the "Group of 8" (G8) richest industrialized countries will gather in St. Petersburg, Russia to plot their continued commodification and domination of the planet, this time under the banner of "Energy Security." A leaked G8 "Communique on Energy Security" calls for trillions of dollars in new investments in oil, gas and coal production worldwide, plus wide-scale global expansion of nuclear energy. With runaway climate change* looming just over the horizon, such neoliberal business-as-usual poses a direct threat to the continuation of life on Earth as we know it. Resistance is self defense. The G8 agenda promotes petroleum-dependent "Energy Security" that pollutes our land and atmosphere, ravages poor and indigenous communities, and scorches the Earth's climate. Their recipe for disaster must be met with our global resistance!
July 15th will be an International Day of Action Against Climate Change. As G8 energy ministers promise trillions in new subsidies to the industries destroying our planet and our future, we will take action to shut them down! This is a call for autonomous, decentralized actions appropriate for your town, city, or bioregion. Use this international day of action to support local struggles against oil refineries, gas pipelines, strip mines and coal-fired power plants. Disrupt the financial backers of the fossil fuel industry. Host teach-ins to spread sustainable post-petroleum living skills. Find a weak point in the infrastructure of resource exploitation and throw a literal or symbolic wrench in the works. Visit your local polluters and give 'em hell!
The July 15th International Day of Action Against Climate Change is being mobilized by Rising Tide North America, a new network initiated in the US by the Earth First! Climate Caucus, with inspiration and support from the UK's vibrant Rising Tide direct action movement for climate justice and against climate change. Rising Tide North America is actively mobilizing July 15th actions in local bioregions, as well as reaching out to environmental justice, climate action and radical sustainability movements in all of the G8 countries plus the Global South.
Rising Tide North America is building a large collection of outreach and agit-prop materials that can be used by groups around the continent (and the world) to organize locally. These materials will be downloadable from http://www.reclaimthecommons.net and from the website of Rising Tide North America (comin' soon).
Join the Rising Tide North America network, and tell us about July 15th actions against climate change being planned in your community or bioregion! Contact us at efclimatecaucus@wildmail.com.
For more information and updates about July 15th international actions against climate change, plus news and links about additional global resistance against the 2006 G8 Summit from July 14th to 17th, go to http://www.reclaimthecommons.net

*19 of the 20 hottest years on record have occurred since 1980. Islands in the South Pacific are already evacuating due to rising sea levels. Storms and hurricanes are growing more severe. Polar bears are drowning as their icy habitat breaks apart and drifts out to sea. Greenland and Antarctica are melting. Everyday we spew more greenhouse gases burned from fossil fuels into the atmosphere; everyday we are one step closer to what scientists refer to as "the tipping point," on the verge of catastrophic and irreversible climate chaos.
