"...a coalition that includes organisations and
individuals from a broad range of social movements that are coming together to
plan for and organise massive peaceful protests and a counter-summit.."
Gangs
Of America
"... Corporations are the dominant force in modern
life, surpassing even church and state. The largest are richer than entire
nations, and courts have given these entities more rights than people. To many
Americans, corporate power seems out of control. According to a Business
Week/Harris poll released in September 2000, 82 percent of those surveyed agreed
that “business has too much power over too many aspects of our lives.” And
the recent revelations of corporate scandal and political influence have only
added to such concerns."
(The)
Gap Sucks
"The Fisher family of
the Gap clothing store empire (including Banana Republic and Old Navy Stores) is
destroying the last of the ancient redwood forest in our area, and is driving
endangered species to extinction, including the Coho Salmon, the steelhead
trout, the marbled murelet and the spotted owl. The Greenwood Watershed
Association - a community environmental group in Elk, California - created the
Save the Redwoods-Boycott the Gap* Campaign to inform Gap customers about Fisher
logging and to convince the Fishers to place all of their damaged redwood
forests into a conservation land trust. Many organizations such as Rainforest
Action Network and Forests Forever have joined us in asking the Fishers to place
this ravaged forest land into a conservation land trust..."
Garbage - How Can My Community
Reduce Waste?
"If your habits resemble those of average Americans, you generate about 4
pounds of solid trash per day. This adds up to big trouble for the environment. Americans
are generating waste products faster than nature can break them down and using up
resources faster than they can be replaced."
Germ Warfare
"The United States has a
long history of experimentation, on unwitting human subjects, which goes back to the
beginning of this century. Both private firms and the military have used unknowing human
populations to test various theories. However, the extent to which human experimentation
has been a part of the U.S. Biological Weapons programs will probably never be
known."
Global
Exchange
"...is a human rights
organization dedicated to promoting environmental, political, and social
justice around the world. Since our founding in 1988, we have been

mergers, unfettered free trade, downsizing, declining wages and corporate
greed!"
Google
Watch
"... It's not that we believe Google is evil. What we
believe is that Google, Inc. is at a fork in the road, and they have some big
decisions to make. This Google Watch site is trying to articulate and publicize
the situation at Google, and encourage more scrutiny of their operations. By
doing this, we hope to play a small part in maintaining the web as an
information tool that is more useful for the masses, than it is for the
elites."

Hacker Ethic
"Originally, a
hacker was a person to whom programming was a passion and who shared the
creations of this passion with others (as dictated by the hacker ethic) - not a
computer criminal. The computer hackers have always emphasized that ultimately
being a hacker is not related to computers as such. Anyone who is realizing his
or her passion - something that he or she finds intrinsically interesting,
energizing, and joyous - is a hacker. We could also call this general work ethic
the hacker ethic as an extension of the expression's original sense."
The
Hated
"...is a friendly jab at these "compassionate
conservatives" who spread hatred, lies and venom about those of us who are
liberals; those of us who stand for liberty and freedom for all the world. These
are the sites most loved by liberals. Enjoy them. Use them. Support them. And
help us keep the promise and reality of freedom alive."

a partial list of U.S. military interventions from 1890 to 1999, this is some
very interesting reading!
Holy
Smoke
"...a skeptical site that looks at the facts about
frauds, fakes, fools, and flim-flam. This site addresses the harm inflicted upon
credophiles. That is, this site addresses the financial, emotional, and
intellectual injury caused by the lucrative business of fraud and deceit. And
that business is booming. There is no shortage of fools who pay dearly for the
dubious privilege of being taken advantage of."
Home
Alive
"...offers affordable self defense classes, provides
public education and awareness, and leads local community organizing efforts. We

individual issue. Our work in self defense encourages everyone to recognize
their entitlement to the basic human right to live free from violence and hate.
Our goal is to build a cultural and social movement that puts violence in a
context of political, economic and social oppression and frames safety as a
human right."
HomeDepotSucks.com
"As the
frenzied search for the earth's remaining natural resources by corporations
continues, issues of environmental sustainability and human rights take a
backseat to corporations' drive for profit. HAVING SAID THAT Home Depot is the
largest retailer of old growth rainforest wood in the U.S.!
Hotmailsucks.com

are you are being attacked by Fundamentalist Christians."
Human
Shields
"... Solution - What would happen if several thousand
Western citizens migrated to Iraq to stand side by side with the Iraqi people?
The fact is that the world's most powerful nation would be stopped in its
imperialist tracks if thousands of Westerners might be killed by its oil lust
war. Now many of us are coming together to exercise our "freedom" by
acting as voluntary human shields in the hopes of saving thousands, perhaps tens
of thousands of Iraqi lives."

straight into the FAQs and expeditions."
Info
Anarchy
"...In the past centuries, technological progress has
exponentially increased our ability to communicate. First there were one-to-many
media: orators, priests in churches. Then came the few-to-many media:
newspapers, radio, TV. In both environments it was possible to control the flow
of information and to treat information as "property", as if it were
something scarce like any other good offered on the free market."
Information
Awareness Office
This is something
very real and very dangerous, the IAO, run by DARPA who says they exist for
"identification of terrorists" - but it seems like another one of
those groups that is responsible for implenting in all essence a police state in
North America, these type of agencies are restraining and revoking our
fundamental rights and collecting info on the public - this is not paranoid
wingnut conspiracy nonsense, this actually exists.

those who just want to comment on our forums."

Kick
Box The Queen!
"My name is
Shane MacDougall, and I'm a ... Canadian citizen, and ever since I was a child I
have questioned the whole concept of a monarchy. In a supposed democracy such as
Canada, it seemed odd that our head of state is an unelected foreigner. As I
grew older, the ludicrousness of the institution became even clearer. All the
pro-monarchist arguments were at best, weak, and at worst, pathetic. Why do we
spend large amounts of money to support an outdated institution that serves no
real purpose? Why do we allow a family whose lineage is one of murderers,
adulterers, thieves, religious intolerance, and inbreeders, to be our rulers
(figurehead or not)? So I decided that the time had come to launch a challenge
to Canada's monarchy..."

that over 70% of processed foods in North America contain untested genetically

American consumers are left unprotected and are eating in the dark. In this site
you will find practical tools and advice to help you take action."
Lexinformatica
"...How do we protect liberty when the architectures
of control are managed as much by government as by the private sector? How can
we assure information self-determination when the ether perpetually spies? How
do we guarantee free thought when the push is to propertize every idea or worse,
criminalize them? How do we guarantee self-determination when the architectures
of control are determined elsewhere, by others unelected and unanswerable to any
electorate?"
