Crime creeping across U.S. border The drug-related murders came on the heels of recent reports of tightened U.S. security along the Southern border as cartels send murderers-for-hire into the U.S. Last week, Texas and New Mexico authorities reported a hit list identifying 15 to 20 targets in the two states alone. Illegal immigrant violence has claimed the lives of many Americans. As WND reported earlier, MS-13, also known as Mara Salvatrucha, a highly organized and well-funded Central American gang, has infiltrated at least 33 states across the U.S., according to law-enforcement authorities. The gang is well-known in Los Angeles, Houston, New York and Washington, D.C., for excessive brutality. Any person suspected of cooperating with authorities is hunted down, tortured and killed. Initiation rites include kickings, beatings and gang rapes.

Here is a link to Pinedale Online which has been reporting regularly on the Gathering: http://www.pinedaleonline.com/news/2008/06/RainbowFamilyGatheri.htm Here is a link to a blog that has been offering updated information when possible: http://wyominggathering .blogspot.com/ Ah, that's really a shame...and growing evidence of the nature of the Police State in which we are currently suffering. I remember the police at the gathering in Drain, Oregon in '70 and all they did was stand back up on the road and watch, never interfered to my knowledge. Even when my girlfriend of a young age got naked and declared she was Jesus and I had to walk u

POPSThe Rise of Fascism in the 21st Century Jim Yardley is a very astute China observer, and this article hits the nail on the head. Surging Chinese nationalism is reaching frightening proportions. We seem to have forgotten that communism hardened by nationalism turns into fascism. I believe the current political climate in China of frustration, insecurity and aggressive racial pride is very very similar to the agitation for Fascism that took place in Europe and Asia in the 1930s.

POPSTaser Death of Ryan Michael Wilson Please read this, po it, pass it on. Sign the petition if you can. I don't have any causes except this one as far as activism goes but it's because I have done the research and it makes sense. Too many people are dying or being abused due to police authority and haphazard taserings. It has to stop.

POPSOX: 'Sexually Perverse' Vampire Murder "According to the judge, Parashumti decided to prove she had no affection for the girl and the pair hatched a plan to kill her. All three had been drinking whisky when Parashumti crept up behind Mitchell and started hitting her on the head with a concrete paving slab, the court was told. As the teenager tried to escape, she was bludgeoned further and Stasinowsky strangled her with a dog chain belt. Mitchell took at least 45 minutes to die, the court was told. The killers then kissed over Mitchell's dead body before filming the scene on a mobile phone, laughing and mocking the girl's accent. The pair dumped the body in a wheelie bin in a back garden shed, where police found it several days later after being alerted by Mitchell's parents. The court was told that a psychologist who assessed Parashumti found she had a severe personality disorder, was obsessed with vampires and was sexually aroused by torture and violence." ...Guardian

POPS5 Cops Arrested for Rape of 12 yr old Girl As I said at the column... I do not know what is exactly going on in S. Africa with raping young people but the fact the police were seemingly getting away with it in the case of this poor girl...I wonder how many others they were raping or had raped before being arrested. Will others now step forward?

POPSSocial Justice Photography I altered this photo slightly from the original - changed it to the sepia hues - because I have my own artiste inside and the color seemed to detract from the "what's really going on here."

I think we need to do something but we need to know this happens in order to *do something.* Sorry again for this. I'm going to bed now and pray for this woman. See you guys in the morning.

POPSThe scourge of global neoliberalism and the need to reclaim democracy With power loosened from traditional modes of politics, public policy has been hijacked by global corporate elites and the state has been forced to abandon its comprehensive social welfare agenda in order to cater to the needs of the plutocrats. Wedded to the belief that the market should be the organizing principle for all political, social, and economic decisions, neoliberalism wages an incessant attack on democracy, public institutions, and non-commodified values. Privatization, deregulation, commercialization, and cuts in social spending rule the day and the prevailing mentality is that everything is for sale and what is not has no value as a public good or practice.
