As long as I am mayor of this city [Jersey City, New Jersey] the great industries are secure. We hear about constitutional rights, free speech and the free press. Every time I hear these words I say to myself, "That man is a Red, that man is a Communist". You never hear a real American talk like that.

Frank Hague, 1896-1956
You can bring men from other parts of the world who are sane. And you know what happens? At the very moment they cross those mountains... they go mad. Instantaneously and automatically, at the very moment they cross the mountains into California, they go insane.

The net of law is spread so wide, No sinner from its sweep may hide. Its meshes are so fine and strong, They take in every child of wrong. O wondrous web of mystery! Big fish alone escape from thee!

"The society which scorns excellence in plumbing as a humble activity and tolerates shoddiness in philosophy because it is an exalted activity will have neither good plumbing nor good philosophy ... neither its pipes nor its theories will hold water."
Q: Why do the police always travel in threes?
A: One to do the reading, one to do the writing, and the other keeps an eye on the two intellectuals.

The foreman of a lumber camp put a new workman on the circular saw. As he turned away, he heard the man say, "Ouch!". "What happened?" "Dunno," replied the man. "I just stuck out my hand like this, and -- well, I'll be damned. There goes another one!"
All theory is grey, And green is the golden tree of life.

I think that all good, right thinking people in this country are sick and tired of being told that all good, right thinking people in this country are fed up with being told that all good, right thinking people in this country are fed up with being sick and tired. I'm certainly not, and I'm sick and tired of being told that I am.

It is time, once again, to put on your marching shoes, make your pro-peace signs and call a friend who also supports an end to war and occupation. On Saturday October 27th major anti-war demonstrations will take place in 11 cities in the US. New Yorkers will be doing our share during a 1:00pm march from 14th Street Union Square to Foley Square. The march will be followed by an information session at Foley Square where demonstrators can network with other peace organizations. One of the great smaller actions connected to this big march will feature a march by the Bergen Peace and Justice Coalition (the major peace group in Northern New Jersey) over the George Washington Bridge to link up with the Washington Heights Anti-war Network. I think it would be great if people from the North and South Bronx could join these groups and head down to the march together. So, if you are interested in participating in this demonstration drop me an email or give me a call at (718) 869-2279. This demo will be a great step forward for the peace movement nationally. Hopefully we can do our part locally. Oh, the march is fully permitted and the organizers, United for Peace and Justice, have a long history of safe and peaceful marches so it should be child friendly. Peace, Billy wawharton(at)yahoo.com

 Which forces should the U.S. anti-war movement support in Iraq? Should we give blanket support to all groups “resisting” the US occupation – including ex-Baathists and Islamic fundamentalists? Can we forget the grim liquidation campaigns against leftists in Sadaam Hussein’s Iraq in the early 70s and after the Iranian Revolution in the 80s? Does political Islam or right-wing nationalism offer a road forward for the majority of Iraqis? Join the Socialist Party USA (NYC local) and the National Organization for Iraqi Freedom Struggles for a discussion of the progressive secular alternatives offered by the Iraq Freedom Congress. The evening will include a screening of the short documentary entitled “The Iraqi Civil Resistance.” Award-winning journalist Bill Weinberg will provide a report-back from an international conference on building solidarity with the Iraq Freedom Congress (IFC) held in Tokyo this past summer. Bill Weinberg is editor of the electronic journal World War 4 Report (www.WW4Report.com) and author of Homage to Chiapas: The New Indigenous Struggles in Mexico (Verso, 2000). His work has appeared in numerous publications, including The Nation, AlterNet, New America Media, NACLA Report on the Americas, etc. He is also co-producer of the "The Moorish Orthodox Radio Crusade" on WBAI.

NOBODIES: Modern American Slave Labor and the Dark Side of the New Global EconomyDiscussion with Author John Bowe Where: NYU School of Law Vanderbilt Hall Room 201 40 Washington Square South (West 4th St.) at MacDougal St. It's just a block from the W. 4th St. stop of the ACE/BDFV When: Wednesday, October 31st 12:30pm Free, but Members of the public should bring ID Most Americans would be shocked to discover that slavery still exists in the United States -- from southern Florida, to Tulsa, Las Vegas, New York City, Washington state, Minnesota, Indiana, and even Maine. Yet most of us buy goods made by people who aren't paid for their labor—people who are trapped financially, and often physically. Indeed, products made by slaves are fattening bottom lines of companies we patronize every day, including Tropicana, Minute Maid, Taco Bell, Wendy's, Burger King, McDonald's, Kroger, Wal-Mart, and virtually every large retail food vendor in America. In NOBODIES: Modern American Slave Labor and the Dark Side of the New Global Economy , award-winning journalist John Bowe exposes the outsourcing, corporate chicanery, immigration fraud, and sleights of hand that allow forced labor to continue in the United States while the rest of us notice nothing but the everyday low price at the checkout counter. | ||

CENSORSHIP exhibition opening - this thursday
---From Ari Moore ---
Hullo friends,
Please forgive the mass email - there's an art show called CENSORSHIP opening this Thursday that I thought you'd like to hear about.
CENSORSHIP, opening this Thursday, November 8th (6-9pm) at Brecht Forum, will feature music performances, interactive sessions, works on paper and canvas, and multimedia displays by an incredible international group of 27 artists. It's being put on by freeDimensional, an amazing non-profit organization I've been working with for nearly two years now. They've been pouring heart and soul into this thing for months, and it promises to be a great show. If you're in the city, I hope you'll check it out (yet more details and directions below). And whether you can come or not, whether you're in NYC or elsewhere, please feel free to pass this info on - we can really use the support!
