Friar Louis Cappio must live
Cesar Benjamin
2008-01-06 4:31 AM
The Brazilian semi-arid is immense: 912 thousand square km. It is populous: 22 million people in rural areas. It is the most rainy of the planet: 750 mm / year, on average, which corresponds to 760 billion cubic meters of rainfall per year. It is not true, therefore, that there is no water there. The nature provides it, but it is wasted: the waters evaporate quickly, under the strong sun, or go soon away, running on the crystalline waterproof ground.

The Case for Socialized Medicine in the United States, and the Struggle to Achieve It
Steven Argue
2008-01-04 4:36 PM![]()
The California Nurses Association/National Nurses Organizing Committee blasted insurance giant CIGNA for failing to approve a liver transplant one week earlier for 17-year-old Nataline Sarkisyan, who tragically died just hours after CIGNA relented and agreed to the procedure following a massive national outcry.
“CNA/NNOC Executive Director Rose Ann DeMoro called the final outcome ‘a horrific tragedy that demonstrates what is so fundamentally wrong with our health care system today. Insurance companies have a stranglehold on our health. Their first priority is to make profits for their shareholders – and the way they do that is by denying care."
"It is simply not possible to organize major protests every time a multi-billion corporation like CIGNA denies care that has been recommended by a physician," DeMoro said. “Having insurance is not the same as receiving needed care. We need a fundamental change in our healthcare system that takes control away from the insurance giants and places it where it belongs – in the hands of the medical professionals, the patients, and their families."

Repost by CarlD

While I'd go for Kucinich or Richardson in round one, it's interesting that Nader goes for the candidate closer to him on strategic matters, and also professionally as an anti-corporate trial lawyer, than those closer to him tactically on the issues of the day, such as the war, or closer to those in at least part of his base, the Greens who like Kucinich, such as myself.
But then I never liked how Nader played footsie with Pat Buchanan on trade, either.
I never blamed him, though, for Gore's defeat, since I believe our vote belongs to each of us, and not any political bloc, and the candidates' task is to win it, if they can. Anyway, by that logic, one should blame Monica Moorehead, the Workers World Party candidate. She got double the amount of votes in Florida than Bush's supposed margin over Gore. (image/jpeg)

The May 13, 1985 MOVE Bombing: Suicide or State-sanctioned Murder?
Kevin Price / Abu-Jamal-News.com
2007-11-07 9:59 AM![]()
"If you look close enough you can see history altered before your eyes. Pick up the latest Guinness Book of World Records, flip to page 123 and you will see what I mean. Under the section 'Cults, Fans and Followers' the police bombing of the MOVE Organization in 1985 is listed as the sixth most deadly mass suicide in recent history…. Yes, you did read that correctly. A deliberate massacre, in which police dropped a bomb on a house, intentionally allowed the fire to burn and shot at those that dared attempt an escape, was labeled as mass suicide," writes MOVE supporter Kevin Price in his recent essay <a href="http://phillyimc.org/en/2007/11/43165.shtml">"MOVE's Battle With Guinness."</a>
<p>
Price's essay follows a recent <a href="http://www.philly.com/inquirer/columnists/michael_klein/inqlings/20071101_Inqlings___MOVEs_Guinness_record_riles_survivor.html">Philadelphia Inquirer interview</a> with Ramona Africa, <a href="http://prisonradio.org/RamonaAfrica.htm">the sole adult survivor</a> of the May 13, 1985 police assault. <a href="http://onamove.com/">MOVE</a> has confronted Guinness and is asking people to <a href="http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/OnaMove">sign a petition</a> in protest.

The Myth of “Co-Management” in Venezuela: Reflections on Alcasa and Invepal
El Libertario, Venezuela
2007-10-25 11:27 PM
* With a lot of rhetoric and propaganda the Chavez administration has advanced different examples of co-management which, they claim, demonstrate their desire to transform Venezuela’s relations of production. A compañero from Europe visited us recently and got to know two of the most celebrated cases: Alcasa and Invepal. Here is the report he prepared for El Libertario # 51 about the actual working conditions in the country’s most “important” co-managed businesses. (text/plain)

The FBI's War on Black Liberation: COINTELPRO and the Panthers
Ron Jacobs, Counterpunch.com
2007-10-21 8:03 AM![]()
While also spotlighting the cases of The SF 8, Veronza Bowers, Jr., and Jamil Abdullah Al-Amin (formerly H. Rap Brown), Ron Jacobs writes that the new Mumia Abu-Jamal crime scene photos in German author Michael Schiffmann's book:
"cast more doubt on the state's case by apparently disproving the prosecution's statements that Mumia stood over Officer Faulkner and fired at him several times. The photos show no marks from the bullets that were supposedly fired in this fashion. In fact, the sidewalk was not damaged in any way. Schiffmann goes on to write: 'it is thus no question anymore whether the scenario presented by the prosecution at Abu-Jamal's trial is true. It is clearly not, because it is physically and ballistically impossible.' (p. 205) The remainder of the photos show a scenario that constantly contradicts the testimony of officers and witnesses (apparently coerced) and the nature of the scene they described in Mumia's original trial."
SEE PHOTO BELOW: The official police crime scene photo (not taken by Pedro Polakoff) also supports Schiffmann's "missing bullet divots" observation. (image/jpeg + 4 comments)
