politics and media! VERY informative!
Save
Harry!
"In November 2001,
"Harry Potter" fans around the world will be flocking to see the
"Harry Potter" movie. That's great. What isn't great is that COCA COLA
probably the world's biggest marketer of junk food, paid Warner Brothers (owned
by AOL/Time Warner, the world's biggest media conglomerate) an estimated $150
million for the global marketing rights to that movie, with author JK Rowling
getting $15 million of that. The "Harry Potter" craze is being turned
by Muggle moguls into a SALES VEHICLE for liquid candy!!! "Harry
Potter" fans all over the world are trying to kill the deal and SAVE
HARRY!!!"
Save
Roe!
Roe v. Wade, the 1973 Supreme Court case guaranteeing a
woman's right to choose, is in grave danger. Influential anti-choice forces are
already working to fill the next vacancy on the court with a like- minded
justice. We MUST act now to save Roe.
Saving Civilization
"...an attempt to save civilization from the fuckheads..."
Schizoid
Musical paranoia at it's best - Schizoid screams his way through
the tangled layers of digital hardcore noise punk techno metal chaos that is
"SCHIZOID".
Science
Sucks
"... We are trapped in a system which was designed to
own and control knowledge, to commodify information, and to stifle the search
for truth. Corporate interests, government regulations, academic conservatism,
and religious fundamentalism, are the enemies of those who are committed to
knowledge. We need a grassroots movement initiated by concerned truthseekers who
understand that knowledge must be liberated from vested interests if humanity
and our home, planet Earth, are to survive."
Sea of Blood
I like what this guy has to say about a lot of shit, including
the 'punk' topic...
SEAC
(Student Environmental Action Coalition)
"SEAC --
pronounced "seek," as in "seeking" -- is a student and youth
run national network of progressive organizations and individuals whose aim is
to uproot environmental injustices through action and education. We define the
environment to include the physical, economical, political and cultural
conditions in which we live. By challenging the power structure which threatens
these environmental conditions, SEAC works to create progressive social change
on both the local and global levels."
Secret Societies Exposed
"The conspiracy is that Elite inner
circle members of the Bilderbergs, Council on Foreign Relations and Trilateral Commission
are conspiring to politically and economically dominate the entire world under their New
World Order, more recently called Globalization, or Global Union, Global Economy, Global
Order, Global Environment, and like terms."
Shag
Very interesting and inspiring artwork, that involves themes of consumption
and consumerism, done by artist Josh Agle.
Shaking of Foundations
"Our purpose is to challenge you to confront your "knee jerk" and
"other imposed" ideas and beliefs in order that you might arrive at
your
own philosophy of the world and how it works..."
SHELL-shocked
Shell has been operating in the Niger
Delta since 1958. In its thirty-six years of operations, rather than setting
standards and promoting a positive relationship with local people, as well as
sound environmental and social policies, the company seemingly has done
little.The importance of Nigeria's oil to
Shell cannot be underestimated, accounting for almost 14% of the company's
production which equates to the greatest production outside the USA10.
Therefore, both Shell and the Nigerian government have an interest in
maintaining the status quo and continuing with business as usual. For those in
power, the Ogoni's campaign to protect their environment cannot gain momentum or
international acclaim because it raises uncomfortable questions about the rights
of communities to control their local environment and the rights of
multinational oil companies. So with brute force and systematic violence, the
Ogoni are being silenced.
Silicon
Valley Toxic Coalition
"... is a diverse grassroots coalition that for almost
twenty years has engaged in research, advocacy, and organizing associated with
environmental and human health problems caused by the rapid growth of the
high-tech electronics industry. Our goal in addressing these problems is to

Slow
Food
"... a movement for the protection of the right to
taste. If Slow Food has grown into a large-scale international movement, it is

meanings and involving many aspects of our existence."

Go to this site to find
all the latest about these alarming crimes against humanity committed by
religious authority figures, this is fucking sick and these people should be
tortured in excruciating and unspeakably painful ways for abusing their position
in the clergy, as well as overall, abusing their audiences by preaching religion
to them!
Social
Justice
"...Those who fall behind in the winner take all
markets of global competition not only suffer from poverty and poor health, but
also lose access to health care and other essential health-producing services.
Reversing these trends will require decisive and coordinated action on the part
of high-income countries in areas we often do not connect with: debt
cancellation, increased development assistance, fair trade policies and global
tax reforms."
Spamhaus

Internet's worst Spammers, known Spam Gangs andSpam Support Services, and works

spammers from the Internet."

Starbucked
"It was 1995 when
Jeremy Dorosin of Pinole ended up with two faulty espresso machines from
Starbucks, topped off by what he claims was really lousy customer service in
dealing with the problem. Since then, he has used his own money to purchase
full-page anti-Starbucks ads in publications such as the Wall Street Journal. He’s
been all over every newspaper and done countless radio and TV interviews about
the incident, amassing a huge public campaign against—not only Starbucks—but
corporate conglomerates and bad customer service everywhere."

Stop
the ACA!
The ACA is a
group that bills itself as "the oldest supplier of correctional goods and
services in the United States." It serves as an umbrella group for all
organizations doing business in, around and with prisons. From the corporations
that contract prison labor and pay prisoners as little as 19 cents an hour, to
the prison HMOs often sued for medical neglect, to lobbying groups advocating
for longer sentences, to the Department of Corrections officials involved at all
levels of the prison system, to the companies who provide the poison and needle
for executions, all willing participants in the industry will be represented at
the ACA's annual congress this August in Philadelphia.
Stop
Carnivore!
"Carnivore/DCS1000
is an electronic "wiretapping" tool, currently in use by the FBI.
Details of how the system works are short on specifics. ...the system, a
sophisticated combination of hardware and proprietary software, can perform
fine-tuned searches, it is also capable of broad sweeps, potentially enabling
the agency to keep tabs on all of the network's communications."

Stop
E$$O!
"President Bush has ditched the
only international treaty to stop global warming. As far as Bush is concerned,
US corporations have the right to pollute the entire planet. People and the
environment don't matter. So who's paying Bush? One corporation stands out from
the rest. Esso (known as ExxonMobil in the States) donated more dollars to get
Bush into the White House than any other oil company. Esso don't want clean
energy from wind, wave and solar power to replace oil, coal and gas. Fuelling
America's oil addiction means big profits for Esso. Esso and Bush think they can
get away with polluting our world. They think they are too big for the rest of
us to stop them. They're wrong. Esso choose to wreck the climate. You can choose
not to buy Esso's products. Boycott Esso now."
Stop
Exxon Mobil
"ExxonMobil is a
corporation out of control. People all over the world are uniting to take action
against its increasingly severe corporate abuses. The second largest corporation
in the world, ExxonMobil has intentionally sabotaged action on the greatest
environmental issue of our age, global warming. ExxonMobil's relentless pursuit
of new oil is resulting in the ecological devastation of the world's last remaining wild
places."

(The) FCC
"...Online campaign dedicated to the mission of

Israel is doing this in order to keep out suicide bombers, however Palestinian

Stop
John Bolton
"...A few weeks ago, when John Bolton was nominated
for UN Ambassador, nobody thought that there would be a fight. Now we're on the
brink of defeating his nomination because of public outcry supporting a
stronger, better United Nations. "Don't nix it, fix it!" you said, and
the Senate is listening. Congress is talking about the nomination now! LET'S
KEEP THE PRESSURE ON!"
Stop
Star Wars!
What is Star
Wars? NMD has been called 'Star Wars` because of its similarity to the failed
proposal pushed by former US President Ronald Reagan. Both systems use radar and
satellites to detect enemy missiles as they are fired, and US-based missiles or
lasers in space to destroy them before they reach their targets. Two out of
three NMD tests, conducted under ideal conditions, have been dismal
failures. Known as the National Missile Defence (NMD), this new system
will cost at least $60 billion. Not only would US taxpayers' money be wasted, it
would also cost the people of the world the hard-won progress already made on
nuclear arms control and disarmament. "We're against having a cure that is
worse than the disease." - Russian President Vladimir Putin on NMD, June 4,
00.
Stop
(The) Wall
"...Online campaign dedicated to the mission of
eliminating the Wall being built between Israel and Palestinian territories.

confiscated for the Wall, and
d) Compensate for all losses."

"...Why are Americans so fat? Find out in Super Size
Me, a tongue in- cheek - and burger in hand -- look at the legal, financial and
physical costs of America's hunger for fast food. Ominously, 37% of American
children and adolescents are carrying too much fat and 2 out of every three
adults are overweight or obese. Is it our fault for lacking self-control, or are
the fast-food corporations to blame?"
Survival
Research Laboratories
"Survival Research Laboratories was

earning a living wage in a safe and decent working environment, and that those
who benefit the most from the exploitation of sweatshop workers must be held
accountable."
Take
Back The Media
"... The public airwaves in this country have slowly
been taken away from the public. There was a time when broadcasters were called
upon to be responsive to the needs of the citizenry and present all sides of any
given issue. It was part of their calling - to be the Watchdog of Democracy."
Talk

Toronto
Video Activist Collective
"...Everyone knows
the media sucks. With ownership concentrated in fewer and fewer hands, and with
the class war escalating daily, the bias and myopia of "the news"
grows clearer and clearer. Independent print and radio outlets have been working
to counteract these conditions for years. Now it's time for activists and video
artists to join forces and go for the BIG ONE: to reoccupy TV screens
everywhere, the dominant media of our time."
Trade
Justice Movement
"...a fast growing group of organizations including
trade unions, aid agencies, environment and human rights campaigns, fair-trade
organizations, faith and consumer groups. We believe that everyone has the right
to feed their families, make a decent living and protect their environment. But
the rich and powerful are pursuing trade policies that put profits before the
needs of people and the planet. To end poverty and protect the environment we
need Trade Justice not free trade."

"According to
ads for the California Milk Advisory Board, "Great Cheese comes from Happy

Magazine
"...writings contained herein were born in a state of
emergency, when the forces of darkness behind the New World Order seized total
control of the mechanisms of state of the USA and diverted the resources of this
once great nation towards the rape and destruction of the world. They must be
stopped. Any way possible. But our little site is a mere drop in the bucket when
compared to the mass brainwashing of the US population by the CIA controlled

War
On Terrorism Watch
"...In the wake of the attacks on the World Trade
Center on September 11, 2001, nations around the world quickly committed
themselves to a global "war on terrorism." Since then, new laws and
government initiatives have placed far reaching powers in the hands of police,

authorities. These new powers have been introduced with little public awareness
of their impact on civil liberties, privacy, sovereignty, and basic human

even where there seems to be "peace," the suffering of homelessness,
hunger, lack of medical care, and poverty is as violent to those upon whom it is
imposed as any war. We search for an answer
to the violence in our society not in the building of more prisons, but in
programs that bring help to those in need. The government centers its spending
priorities on missiles and bombs despite the unmet needs of millions of
desperate people."

On May 5, 1993,
the mutilated bodies of three second-graders were found in a wooded area near
West Memphis, Ark. A month later, murder charges were filed against three local
teenagers, who were accused of killing the children in a satanic ritual.
The boys were convicted, despite OVERWHELMING evidence in their favour - the
primary evidence in the case against them was that they were young
male teenagers who wore black and listened to heavy metal. Read up on
this case, and see what you can do to help the three! (You might want to

Why
War?
"...A despicable
act of mayhem such as those committed in New York and Washington is a measure of
the revulsion that others feel at our actions that seemingly limit those rights

this conflict will escalate into a war that our great-grandchildren will be
fighting."

"...is an international campaign
using grassroots economic power to demand an end to structural adjustment
lending and other environmentally and socially destructive World Bank policies.
The World Bank is a public institution which receives 80% of its financing
from publicly-held bonds. Ordinary people, through their pension funds,
labor unions, churches, municipalities, universities and private
investments, can exert considerable pressure on the World Bank by
refusing to buy its bonds. Activists can pass resolutions in their
communities and institutions committing them not to buy World Bank bonds
in the future and send a strong message to the Bank. We aim to make the
World Bank the target of a worldwide movement in the same way that the
anti-apartheid movement brought about divestment from corporations doing
business in South Africa inthe `80's."

Resistance
"You know
holiday shopping is offensive and wasteful. You know Christmas "wish
lists" and "gift exchanges" degrade the concept of giving. You
know Christmas marketing is a scam, benefiting manufacturers, stores, and huge
corporations, while driving individuals into debt. Together, we boycott
Christmas Shopping, Christmas decorations, Christmas cards, and every variety of
Christmas Crap. We show our love for friends and family by giving our time and
care, not by purchasing consumer goods. You are not alone. Together, we
can RESIST CHRISTMAS!

Yale,
Slavery and Abortion
The cultural
elite of North America who are schooled at Yale University are only now being
asked about questionable practices in their past - for example, In the 1930s and
1960s, Yale allegedly chose to name most of its colleges after slave owners and
pro-slavery leaders. In 1831, Yale leaders supposedly helped stop an effort to
expand higher education for African-Americans in New Haven... Read on if
this scares you!
