Anti-depressants:
court cases and casualties
SSRIs (a type of anti-depressant drug) have been killing thousands. Drug manufacturers saw this in their pre-release testing, and hid the information. Here is a web site featuring stories about vicitms, including drug-induced suicides.
TV Turnoff
They may be more gentle here, but I agree with the title of songs by Bobs, Eric Moore, and Ned's Atomic Dustbin: Kill Your Television.

From The
Wilderness news
Michael Ruppert has collected an overwhelming amount of evidence
that the government of the U.S.A. maintains its position of
global power through substantial trade in illegal drugs. He
has proven that the George W. Bush administration had knowledge
that an attack such as 9-11 was going to occur, and that they
allowed it to happen in order to create a reason to destroy
the Taliban, which was the only obstacle preventing the U.S.A.
from monopolizing the vast oil resources of central Eurasia.
His presentation, "Truth and Lies about September 11th", is
a must see, and is now available on video. He has generally
proven--like we need more proof--that the U.S.A. has been
run by very, very corrupt criminals.
Adbusters
This is one of the most important documents currently published.
Use it to help yourself see that the matrix does not only

Michael
Moore
Michael Moore--whatever hismotivation--is causing people to
stop and think. To think about what steaming cesspool of greed,
materialism, corruptuion, and violence exists south of Canada.
His book, "Stupid White Men" has been on the New York Times
Best Seller list for many, many weeks which is incredible
for a culture so lost in the advertising, broadcasting, and
merchandizing by the richest 1% of the world's population.
He is American, yet his website was designed by a Canadian
company and is hosted by a Canadian company.

Ten years later, 30 Manitoba women went to Beijing for the Fourth World Conference on Women, participating in both the UN conference and the parallel
NGO (non- governmental organization) Conference. They returned to Manitoba with a commitment to see the recommendations in the Platform for Action implemented. UNPAC supports the objectives of the Platform for Action by working through community action and with other organizations, locally and globally, for equality,
development, and peace."

Governemnt Accountable to Society and Citizens = Democracy
The "GASCD" is a double-cd compilation of music and speech. "The CD and web site were launched to raise awareness about the growing anti-globalization movement and to raise money to help those who are at the front line of the movement. Some of the initial money raised will be going to aid the legal defense of those arrested during the Quebec Summit of the Americas; while the GASCD Board will continue to look to assists other groups around the world as the project grows."

Alternative Tentacles Records
"Alternative Tentacles Records was established in June of 1979 and is most likely the longest lasting (and still active) underground record labels around. Although it is perceived by many as a "punk" label, having released records by Dead Kennedy's and others, it is actually best known for its impact on the world of underground culture. [...] The label has continued to remain vital in its lengthy history by refusing to adhere to a formula for an easily identifiable 'Alternative Tentacles Sound.' Rather, the label has released many political spoken word releases; as well as releasing: Brazilian hardcore, bent pop, faux-country, and assorted rock & roll. The label is also well known due to its outspoken provocateur owner, talent scout and recording artist, Jello Biafra."
Critical Resistance campaign
"Critical Resistance seeks to build an international movement to end the Prison Industrial Complex (PIC). We do this by challenging the belief that caging and controlling people makes us safe. We believe that basic necessities such as food, shelter, and freedom are what really make our communities secure. As such, our work is part of global struggles against inequality and powerlessness. The success of the movement requires that it reflect communities most affected by the PIC. Because we seek to abolish the PIC, we cannot support any work that extends its life or scope."

decently in Europe, they climbed aboard sea-faring vessels and
sought out what we now call home.

How
evil is Monsanto?
"...for nearly 40 years, while producing the now-banned industrial
coolants known as PCBs at a local factory, Monsanto Co. routinely
discharged toxic waste into a west Anniston creek and dumped millions
of pounds of PCBs into oozing open-pit landfills." This Washington
Post article is a mere glimpse of how terribly hurtful and
destructive Monsanto is, and how corrupt governments are.

with the effects of a synthetic hormone (bovine growth hormone,

reporters and sweep under the rug much of what they discovered
but were never allowed to broadcast." See?

Focus
on the Corporation: The Mokhiber-Weissman column on corporate
power
The multinational corporation is the most powerful institution
of our time, dominating not only global economics, but politics
and culture as well. The enormous influence of the corporation
notwithstanding, the mechanisms of corporate control and the details
of corporate abuses remain largely hidden from public perception.
The purpose of this column is to rectify this informational shortcoming,
to report and comment critically on corporate actions and plans,
from particularized abuses to broad trends.
