Mad
Cow Culture
"...Commentary on current events, slaying of sacred
cows."
Make
Trade Fair
"Did you know
that every time you buy something made or grown in a developing country, you
take part in a billion pound scam? As it works today, the global trading system
rips off people who are already poor. You don't want it. They certainly don't
want it. Together, we can change it."
March
of Crimes
"With the worthy goal of
preventing birth defects, the March of Dimes collects millions of dollars in
donations annually. But most donors who generously open their pocketbooks are
unaware that their gifts help to fund painful experiments on animals. The March
of Dimes has funneled millions of dollars into laboratory studies on primates,
rats, mice, cats, dogs,
rabbits, pigs, sheep, guinea pigs,
opossums, and members of other animal species. Both animals and human babies are
the losers, because every dollar spent to harm these animals is a dollar that
could have—and should have—been used to help people."
Maquila
Solidarity Network
"The Maquila
Solidarity Network (MSN) is a Canadian network promoting solidarity with groups
in Mexico, Central America, and Asia organizing in maquiladora factories and
export processing zones to improve conditions and win a living wage. In a global
economy it is essential that groups in the North and South work together for
employment with dignity, fair wages and working conditions, and healthy
workplaces and communities."
Marilyn Manson - Online Church of Antichrist Superstar
...You either love him, or you hate him. Image and other silliness aside,
you've got to admit that shock-rocker Marilyn Manson has definitely ruffled a feather in
the most ignorantly conservative and predominately 'Christian' communities around the
globe. Drop your preconceptions and visit the site, and hey, maybe you'll agree with
some of his message!
Mayhem
If you think
you're into offensive music, you haven't even scratched the surface - Norway's
true legends in black MAYHEM have been raising hell since 1984, fighting the
good fight against parasitic Christian morality, firing salvo after salvo
against all that is "good"...
McLibel
"McLibel: Two Worlds Collide is
the inside story of how a single father and a part-time bar worker took on the
McDonald's Corporation. Filmed over three years, the documentary follows Helen
Steel and Dave Morris as they are transformed from anonymous campaigners into
unlikely global heroes defending themselves in the longest trial in English
history. Along the way they face infiltration by spies, secret meetings with top
executives, 40,000 pages of background reading and a visit from Ronald McDonald.
The documentary uses interviews with witnesses and reconstructions of key
moments in court (directed by Ken Loach) to examine the main issues in the trial
(nutrition, advertising, employment, animals, environment), as well as the
implications for freedom of speech. McLibel is not about hamburgers. It is about
multinational corporations and the power they wield over our everyday lives.
Worth
giving up six years of your life for?"
McSpotlight
"...The biggest, loudest, most read Anti-McDonald's extravaganza the world has
ever seen. Anything you could possibly want to know about McDonald's or McLibel nestles
somewhere in our 21,000 files..."
Meat Stinks
"Every year in the U.S., more than 8 billion
animals are slaughtered for food--that's more than 250 animals per second. Raising animals
on factory farms is cruel and ecologically devastating. Eating animals is bad for our
health, leading directly to many diseases and illnesses, including heart attack, stroke,
cancer, diabetes, and obesity."
Media Channel
"Brand new site which keeps its eye on global media by following

influence on how we think about our personal, political, economic and cultural
worlds. Since its inception, MEF's aim has been to translate the latest research
into an accessible format that allows non-specialists to engage in informed
debate about vital issues."
Media
Reform
"...We are barraged with advertising. Journalism has
become dumbed-down entertainment. The range of news analysis and debate is
shrinking along with the diversity of media ownership, placing an extraordinary
degree of economic and social power in a very few hands."
Media
Rights
"MediaRights.org,
a community Web site, helps media makers, educators, nonprofits, and activists
use documentaries to encourage action and inspire dialogue on contemporary
social issues."
Media
Whores Online
"... Media Whores Online takes an unbiased, in-depth
look at the vast myriad of whores who call themselves "journalists."
MWO casts a garish spotlight on the relentless screaming heads of television,
the babbling paranoids of squawk radio, and the crayon scribblings of lazy print
media "journalists."
Meese Commission
This is IT! This is the official court transcript of the 1985 Congress Hearings on
the harmful effects of 'rock and roll' music/lyrics - this case helped to instigate the
"Tipper" sticker on most 'controversial' records - many rock stars testified
against their record label's wishes in the case for the side of rock including Dee Snider,
Frank Zappa and, Bob Denver, who, subsequently was blacklisted and dumped from his label
on his next album, as a result?! A MUST READ!

Michael Moore
Perhaps best known for TV show "TV Nation" and his Flint-Michigan-related
documentary, "Roger and Me", this guy knows how to stir shit up, and just how to
bug the fuckers in power. This is the sort of guy 'the powers that be' hates, someone who
has the talent to turn the lemmings of our society against their masters.
Mike
Diana
"... Mike Diana, infamous cartoonist, thrown in jail
for his zine Boiled Angel over 10 years ago, still faces jail time from Florida
authorities, who deny him the right to create art in Florida, deny him contact
with minors, force him to pay thousands of dollars in fines, see a psychiatrist
at his own expense, take journalism ethics courses at his own expense, and do
thousands of hours of community service. Imagine trying to pay rent and live
life under those conditions!! Mike, now living in NYC, continues to create
art, including these new paintings and much more."
Milk Sucks
"There's no reason to drink cow's milk at any time in your
life. It was designed for calves, not humans and we should all stop drinking it
today..."
Million
for Marriage
"... The time to act is now! There are more than 1,000
federal protections and responsibilities denied to gay, lesbian, bisexual and
transgender families because they cannot legally marry in this country. Here are
just a few: Ability to make decisions on a partner's behalf in a medical
emergency, petition for partner to immigrate, up to 12 weeks leave from work to
care for a seriously ill partner or parent of a partner, parenting
responsibilities of children brought into a family through birth, adoption,
surrogacy or other means... All American families deserve the same
protections."

lines. Labels are for shirts."
MOSOP
Canada
"The Ogoni people are a distinct
ethnic group of some five hundred thousand people living in the Niger Delta in
southeast Nigeria. They live in an area of nearly four hundred and four square
miles, making their land some of the most densely populated in Africa. In 1958,
their peaceful existence was turned upside down with the discovery of oil by the
Shell Oil Company. Since the discovery of the reserves under Ogoni, there has
been some thirty billion dollars in oil taken from the area. By 1990, the Ogoni
people found that despite the tremendous wealth that their land had provided,
they enjoyed none of the benefits from the oil revenues. They were poor, had
neither electricity nor running water, and had poor health facilities. In
addition, they had no political power to change things, being just one of
hundreds of ethnic minorities in Nigeria that were shut out of the governing of
the nation."

1976, Mother Jones is an independent, nonprofit magazine whose roots lie in a
commitment to social justice implemented through first-rate investigative

NARAL
"As essential
to American freedom as our right to think, vote, worship, work and marry, is our

safe and legal abortion, effective contraceptive options, and quality

No
Movie Ads
"... A class-action lawsuit was filed today in Chicago
against Loews Cineplex Entertainment Group ... alleging that Loews purposely
deceives moviegoers as to the actual starting times for feature films, with the
goal of generating a captive audience for advertisements. By publishing
misleading starting times, the movie theaters breach their contracts with
moviegoers and engage in a deceptive trade practice. The effect is to waste
purchasers' time by forcing them to sit through unwanted commercial

Ready gene and that he must pay their Technology Fee. Let us first be clear what
Saskatchewan farmer Percy Schmeiser was found guilty of. He was found guilty of
a) having Monsanto genetics on his land, and b) not advising Monsanto to come
and fetch it. He was not found guilty of brownbagging - obtaining the seed
fraudulently. Indeed, all such allegations were dropped at the actual hearing,
due to lack of evidence......"

Proctor and
Gamble Poisons Animals!
"Each
year, thousands of animals die in Procter & Gamble laboratories--the victims
of painful product tests. Procter & Gamble claims to be
"committed" to eliminating tests on animals, but after a decade of
empty promises, the household, personal care, and pharmaceutical product
manufacturer continues to poison and kill animals. To test products, workers
typically force chemicals into rabbits' eyes and rub them onto animals' shaved
and abraded skin. The animals are forced into restraining devices so they can't
escape the pain; usually they are not sedated or given painkillers. Some animals
have broken their necks or backs trying to escape."

Public-I
As The New York
Times put it, "Americans are being insulted by a political culture that
places private gain ahead of public trust." This country sorely needs an
ombudsman, an institution that serves as an objective purveyor of truth, outside
of party, ideology, economic, or other interests, with strong credibility with
the news media. Fulfilling this role as an honest broker of information, the
Center for Public Integrity exposes abuses of the public trust. The Center's
mission is to provide the American public with the findings of its
investigations and analyses of public service, government accountability, and
ethics-related issues."

Something needs to be done to unite the youth vote and bring real activism back

community gardens, water reclamation, urban transformation, a gift economy, and
so much more. We do this hoping to inform, enrage, and inspire, as we spread the
skills and tools we need to bring our visions to fruition."
Reclaim
the Media
"We believe that the centralized domination of the
current media landscape by a handful of powerful business concerns fails to
provide the diverse viewpoints, local accountability and easy access to high-
quality information which are demanded by the public interest. Rather than
checking the power of these institutions through vigorous regulation, federal
policymakers instead seek their counsel and serve their interests, excluding and
disserving the public."
Reclaim
the Streets
"Ultimately it is
in the streets that power must be dissolved: for the streets where daily life is
endured, suffered and eroded, and where power is confronted and fought, must be

Repeal
the USA Patriot Act!
"... We call
for the immediate and total repeal of the 2001 USA Patriot Act for the following

allows the unlawful infiltration and surveillance of legal, domestic religious,
labor and political organizations." The List goes on!

Revolution Will Not Be Televised
"...Hugo Chavez, elected President of Venezuela in
1998 beloved by his nation's working class and tough-as-nails, quixotic opponent

were inside the presidential palace on April 11, 2002, when he was forcibly
removed from office. They were also present 48 hours later when, remarkably, he
returned to power amid cheering aides. Their film records what was probably
history's shortest-lived coup d'état."

levers, upon all the apparatus, and you've got to make it stop. And you've got to indicate
to the people who run it, to the people who own it, that unless you're free, the machine
will be prevented from working at all!"
