Mad as Hell Doctors, as guests on the Public Access program, "A Growing Concern," talk about the current anemic Health Care Reform and the need for universal health careGuests are Paul Hochfeld, a 30 year Emergency Care Physician and Michael Huntington, MD, a retired radiation oncologist and co-convenor of Physicians for a National Health Program They discuss the many problems with the current Health Care Reform legislation, asserting that the current legislation will leave the insurance companies still in control, will not reduce the skyrocketing costs of health care and will do little to help the 47 million or so Americans currently without any form of health care insurance.

Naomi KleinThe Shock Doctrine: The Rise of Disaster CapitalismFirst Unitarian Church of PortlandPortland, OregonDecember 7th, 2007"Klein may well have revealed the master narrative of our time."-San Francisco Chronicle"In THE SHOCK DOCTRINE, Naomi Klein explodes the myth that the global free market triumphed democratically. Exposing the thinking, the money trail and the puppet strings behind the world-changing crises and wars of the last four decades, The Shock Doctrine is the gripping story of how America's "free market" policies have come to dominate the world-- through the exploitation of disaster-shocked people and countries."Engaging, but casual, smart and eloquent, but easily understood, Naomi's presentation charmed the crowd as much by its style as by its content. Though speaking from a podium, she seemed very much a part of, rather than apart from the gathering.http://www.naomiklein.org/shock-doctrine/the-bookhttp://www.naomiklein.org ]]> http://blip.tv/file/862890 Politics globalization disaster economics capitalization iraq war peace america world markets democracy dictatorships iran afganistan torcher psychology psychiatry logo environment friedman chicago school pinochet bush thatcher reagan politics history Mon, 28 Apr 2008 22:30:07 +0000 globalization, disaster, economics, capitalization, iraq, war, peace, america, world, markets, democracy, dictatorships, iran, afganistan, torcher, psychology, psychiatry, logo, environment, friedman, chicago school, pinochet, bush, thatcher, reagan, politics, history http://a.images.blip.tv/PhilosopherSeed-NaomiKleinTheRiseOfDisasterCapitalism274.png globalization, disaster, economics, capitalization, iraq, war, peace, america, world, markets, democracy, dictatorships, iran, afganistan, torcher, psychology, psychiatry, logo, environment, friedman, chicago school, pinochet, bush, thatcher, reagan, politics, history ]]> Naomi Klein: The Rise of Disaster Capitalism http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/2.0/ 05D5128E-145F-11DD-A589-B74060B8D8E6 http://blip.tv/philosopherseeds-a-growing-concern/antonia-juhasz-it-is-a-time-of-hope-866049 PhilosopherSeed 41110 philosopherSeed philosopherseeds-a-growing-concern PhilosopherSeed's "A Growing Concern" http://blip.tv/philosopherseeds-a-growing-concern http://a.images.blip.tv/user_photo_PhilosopherSeed900.png 866049 859584 file TV-G 0.0 2008-04-27T13:37:04Z English 0 0 0 1425 AbTuZQI http://blip.tv/play/AbTuZQI http://blip.tv/comments/?attached_to=post866049&skin=rss PhilosopherSeed-AntoniaJuhaszItIsATimeOfHope639.png http://a.images.blip.tv/PhilosopherSeed-AntoniaJuhaszItIsATimeOfHope639-754.jpg Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 2.0

Here is Pepperspray's Vodcast URL for you:http://indymediapresents.blip.tv/posts?view=archive&nsfw=dc Juncture moments.... there have been "juncture" moments before: Dr. Martin Luther King, in his 1967 speech at the Riverside Church, said he was "compelled to see the (Viet Nam) war as an enemy of the poor." After all the work to achieve passage of both Civil Rights and anti-poverty legislation, he said, then "came the buildup in Viet Nam," and King knew "that America would never invest the necessary funds or energies in rehabilitation of its poor so long as adventures like Viet Nam continued to draw men and skills and money like some demonic destructive suction tube." This week we reprise an analysis of the current juncture, presented at the Vets For Peace convention in Seattle, by David Korten, based on his most recent book, "The Great Turning." His previous book, "When Corporations Rule the World" was used by many WTO protesters as a handbook addressing the problems hidden in the corporate global dream. Korten outlines the "perfect storm" created by the concurrent crisis of a collapsing US dollar, end of oil, environmental disaster and war, and presents his ideas on how to turn this tailspin into an opportunity for humanity to reach a higher goal. He makes a persuasive case that we shouldn't be arguing how one issue is more important than the other, but need to see how all the issues are coming together, interacting, and how this calls for an "all as one" perspective. www.davidkorten.org www.davidkorten.org/Books/greatturning.htm Veterans for Peace http://www.veteransforpeace.org Related Free Speech Websites: Independent Media Center http://www.indymedia.org/en/index.shtml Indymedia NewsReal http://www.newsreal.indymedia.org Free Speech TV: http://www.freespeech.org Democracy Now! http://www.democracynow.org ]]> http://blip.tv/file/688760 Citizen Journalism environment war iraq global warming peak oil empire military Sat, 23 Feb 2008 08:52:32 +0000 environment, war, iraq, global warming, peak oil, empire, military http://a.images.blip.tv/PhilosopherSeed-DavidKortenFromEmpireToEarthCommunity290-107.jpg environment, war, iraq, global warming, peak oil, empire, military ]]> David Korten: From Empire to Earth Community http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/2.0/ ED2B4798-C5BD-11DC-8A59-9DD0EBCB5E89 http://blip.tv/philosopherseeds-a-growing-concern/nazis-not-welcome-rally-unite-against-racism-612719 PhilosopherSeed 41110 philosopherSeed philosopherseeds-a-growing-concern PhilosopherSeed's "A Growing Concern" http://blip.tv/philosopherseeds-a-growing-concern http://a.images.blip.tv/user_photo_PhilosopherSeed900.png 612719 606950 file TV-G 0.0 2008-01-18T12:07:23Z English 0 0 0 3532 AaWzUwI http://blip.tv/play/AaWzUwI http://blip.tv/comments/?attached_to=post612719&skin=rss PhilosopherSeed-NazisNotWelcomeRallyUniteAgainstRacism532.png http://a.images.blip.tv/PhilosopherSeed-NazisNotWelcomeRallyUniteAgainstRacism532-181.jpg Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 2.0
Nazis Not Welcome Rally / Unite Against Racism!Portland, OregonOctober 6th, 2007In response to a three day gathering of white supremacists in the Portland area, community members and anti-racists gathered at Lents Park in S.E. Portland, Oregon to voice their opposition to racism and fascism.This event, attended by about 150 people, was moderated by Peter Little of the Ad Hoc, Committee Against Racism and Fascism, which called the Rally in opposition to the “Hammerfest,” a three day event to be taking place at a hotel in Sherwood, Oregon.Founded this September, the Ad-Hoc Committee is dedicated to monitoring and opposing white supremacist groupings in Portland and beyond. As large neo-Nazi rallies have often been preceded by attacks on Jewish people and people of color, sexual minorities, as well as activists, the Ad-Hoc Committee wishes to work with community groups and people of good conscience who want to respond to fascist mobilization. “If we come together, the bigots don’t stand a chance,” says one committee member, “This rally is only a beginning.”Peter spoke about Portland's racist past and the people’s struggle to protect themselves from racism. He states that racism takes many faces, is not only the obvious skinheads and neo nazi types, but also, among others, anti-immigration organizations.This is an ongoing theme throughout the Demonstration- that racism is insidious and is hidden all around us.Peter introduced speakers with experience from many different fronts of the ongoing threats from and struggle against racism.First to speak was Walidah Imarisha, a spoken word war-rior woman who fights the power with protest poetry. She speaks eloquently about how these groups have co-opted the language of the left, often sounding like environmentalists and other progressive groups. Walidah finishes by reciting one of her poems.www.poetryoffthepage.comNext to speak was Claire Oliveros, of the Portland Committee for Human Rights in the Philippines, followed by Pablo, who spoke in Spanish with a translator about the Latin American economic conditions leading to immigration to the U.S.Pablo was followed by Amy Dudley, of the Rural Organizing Project, who spoke at length about the various racist and anti-immigrant organizations. She gives much information about these groups, how they are organized and how they easily slip beneath the radar. www.rop.orgMic Crenshaw, from the rap group Hungry Mobwww.myspace.com/miccrenshawLast to speak was Chris Francisco, an Indigenous speaker from the Native Youth Movement. ]]> http://blip.tv/file/606950 Educational racism white supremacy skinheads neo-nazis Fri, 18 Jan 2008 12:07:23 +0000 racism, white supremacy, skinheads, neo-nazis http://a.images.blip.tv/PhilosopherSeed-NazisNotWelcomeRallyUniteAgainstRacism532.png racism, white supremacy, skinheads, neo-nazis ]]> Nazis Not Welcome Rally / Unite Against Racism! http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/2.0/ 5B12167E-C339-11DC-A810-B31F46A7CB2E http://blip.tv/philosopherseeds-a-growing-concern/bark-for-mt-hood-august-2007-roadtruthing-hike-usfs-travel-plan-ramona-falls-605867 PhilosopherSeed 41110 philosopherSeed philosopherseeds-a-growing-concern PhilosopherSeed's "A Growing Concern" http://blip.tv/philosopherseeds-a-growing-concern http://a.images.blip.tv/user_photo_PhilosopherSeed900.png 605867 600111 file TV-G 0.0 2008-01-15T07:13:22Z English 0 0 0 3223 AaT+DwI http://blip.tv/play/AaT+DwI http://blip.tv/comments/?attached_to=post605867&skin=rss PhilosopherSeed-BARKForMtHoodAugust2007RoadtruthingHikeUSFSTravelPlan110.png http://a.images.blip.tv/PhilosopherSeed-BARKForMtHoodAugust2007RoadtruthingHikeUSFSTravelPlan110-709.jpg Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 2.0
USFS Travel Plan / Ramona FallsAugust 12th, 2007BARK Hike Leader: Amy HarwoodBARK Volunteer: Katie Chipkohttp://bark-out.orghttp://bark-out.org/activities/travelplan.phpIn the Pacific Northwest OHVs are a big problem, but pale in comparison to the damage being done by a crumbling road network.The Mt. Hood Travel Plan Must Address Roads:The current Travel Plan proposal introduced by the Forest Service in May is to create six new Off-Highway Vehicle play areas around the mountain, totaling over 50,000 acres. This would render OHV use in all other areas of the forest illegal, an improvement over the current situation, in which OHV use is legal in all areas unless specifically prohibited. However, the current proposal falls short for three reasons:1) The Forest Service is sacrificing far too much of the forest to an activity that is incompatible with other uses. Other recreationists, not to mention wildlife, don’t want to use areas surrounded by noisy OHVs. And since only about 1% of the demand on Mt. Hood is from OHV users, why are they getting 5% of the forest?2) Without law enforcement, the system won’t work. Mt. Hood has only five law enforcement officers for its 1.1 million acres.3) The Forest Service proposal ignores the fastest growing problem in the forest: thousands of miles of old logging roads are fragmenting wildlife habitat, eroding into streams, and need to be obliterated. At the same time, roads that lead to recreation destinations are being neglected.Please join us!http://bark-out.org ]]> http://blip.tv/file/600111 Educational usfs blm forests ecology loggingusfs blm forests ecology logging Tue, 15 Jan 2008 07:13:22 +0000 usfs, blm, forests, ecology, loggingusfs, blm, forests, ecology, logging http://a.images.blip.tv/PhilosopherSeed-BARKForMtHoodAugust2007RoadtruthingHikeUSFSTravelPlan110.png usfs, blm, forests, ecology, loggingusfs, blm, forests, ecology, logging ]]> BARK for Mt.

Eight Mile Timber Sale "Zombi" HikeAugust 12th, 2007 BARK Hike Leader: Tarp Tamachttp://bark-out.orgDear Barkers,This Monday a company called Southside Enterprises Inc. began logging the Eight Mile Meadow Timber Sale. Despite hundreds of letters asking the Forest Service to stop the logging plan, over a thousand hours in the field by the Groundtruthing team, and a lawsuit challenging the legality of the sale, 222 acres of forest will be clearcut in the coming weeks. But the fact that the Forest Service ignored public concern should be no surprise. Eightmile Meadow Timber Sale is a categorical exclusion, or CE, meaning that the Forest Service was not required to analyze the environmental impacts of logging nor take the public's opinion into account. That is why no one knew about it when the Forest Service chose to double the volume of logging. That is why no one knew about it when the Forest Service chose to not only cut dead lodgepole pine but live western larch trees.Please join us! http://bark-out.org ]]> http://blip.tv/file/595944 Educational usfs blm forests ecology logging Sun, 13 Jan 2008 11:17:30 +0000 usfs, blm, forests, ecology, logging http://a.images.blip.tv/PhilosopherSeed-BARKForMtHoodAugust2007GroundtruthingHikeEightMileTimb958.png usfs, blm, forests, ecology, logging ]]> BARK for Mt.

Slinky Timber Sale "Victory Hike" July 8th, 2007BARK Hike Leader: Erin Maddenhttp://www.bark-out.orgJUDGE STOPS LAST PROPOSAL TO CLEARCUT MT. HOOD OLD GROWTHBy Jeff Barnard The Associated Press Published: Thursday, March 8, 2007:GRANTS PASS - A federal judge has stopped the Mount Hood National Forest, the most popular in Oregon, from offering an old growth timber sale until it shows it has followed its own rules to consider whether the logging would harm sensitive wildlife."Our hope is that old growth logging on the Mount Hood National Forest is over for good and the Forest Service will now prioritize the repairing of damage done from 50 years of industrial logging,'' said Alex Brown of Bark, a Portland conservation group. "This ruling sends a really clear signal to the Forest Service. The continued logging of old growth is unacceptable, period. The public has demonstrated they don't want it. The science doesn't even justify it.''Located in the Cascade Range outside Portland, Mount Hood is popular with skiers, mountain climbers and hikers, and gets more than 4 million recreational visitors a year, more than any other national forest in Oregon.It was once one of the most heavily logged of the national forests in Oregon, but former timber towns that now rely on tourism and recreation for their economies have thrown their support behind legislation pending in Congress to create nearly 130,000 acres of new wilderness areas where logging would be off-limits.In a ruling dated Saturday, U.S. District Judge Michael Mosman in Portland found the U.S. Forest Service was arbitrary and capricious when it failed to monitor the impact logging would have on pine marten, pileated woodpeckers, deer and elk, as required under the National Forest Management Act.Those species were designated by the Forest Service as indicators of the health of old growth forest ecosystems.The Forest Service had argued that under formal forest management plans and 2005 Bush administration revisions to forest management rules, it was not required to monitor wildlife. But the judge found that rules imposed in 2000, which called for using the best available science, applied to the project.Originally proposed in 1998, the Slinky timber sale called for effectively clearcutting 184 acres of scattered patches of old growth in the headwaters of the Clackamas River, which has been heavily logged.

Presidential Candidate Rep. Dennis Kucinich July 1st, 2007Portland, Oregonhttp://www.dennis4president.comDennis was interrupted numerous times to thunderous applause and standing ovations, and deservedly so. He understands and laments the corruption of Democracy as it has been slowly and deliberately undermined by the present administration. He sees clearly and speaks, I believe, from his heart.Listen to Dennis' words for yourself:"This is the beauty of this country, because as we, we know that we can reject the entire basis that has formed this government that currently exists of war, fear and poverty. And we see the connection, what this campaign is about is standing for the truth, it's about being able to challenge the corruption that underlies what's wrong with America today. Let's look at the links, okay?""War, oil, corruption, so that's one; we have war because of a corrupt government which is all about oil. Let's look at the next connection here. Lack of health care, private insurers controlling our health care system, corruption; that's the link, think about that...........and then you think about so many people out of work, or not having the jobs they once had, and you think about NAFTA. It's about a race to the bottom and even slave labor.""And you look at the Immigration issue. At the root of the Immigration issue is corruption; it's the use of slave labor and exploitation of people. So, does any of that represent who we are? What this election is about, this is a moment to explain who we are, the deeper meaning of 'We the People.'"http://www.dennis4president.com ]]> http://blip.tv/file/593876 Citizen Journalism nafta presidential candidate immigration corporations health care peace security Sat, 12 Jan 2008 03:39:29 +0000 nafta, presidential candidate, immigration, corporations, health care, peace, security http://a.images.blip.tv/PhilosopherSeed-PresidentialCandidateRepDennisKucinichLinkingPeaceSecurit885.jpeg nafta, presidential candidate, immigration, corporations, health care, peace, security ]]> Presidential Candidate Rep.

In a 3-2 vote, the commissioners of the FCC (Federal Communications Commission) ruled to allow further media consolidation, defying overwhelming public opposition. This means that one big media company can own all the newspapers, radio and TV stations in one community, controlling all the news, media, entertainment and it's content. Hearings were held in different regions with short notice. The one in Seattle on November 9th, 2007, was set up with only 5 days notice. Still, over 1000 people attended. Over 275 people signed up for public testimony, which lasted past 1 am. From StopBigMedia.com: http://www.stopbigmedia.com"The FCC approved new rules that will unleash a flood of media consolidation across America. The new rules will further consolidate local media markets -- taking away independent voices in cities already woefully short on local news and investigative journalism." "Congress has the power to throw out these rules -- and if hundreds of thousands of people demand it, they'll have to listen."

Cynthia McKinney, Green Party presidential candidate, spoke in Portland, Oregon, November 12, 2007, for a fund raising event at the Portland First Unitarian Church.

One of her last acts in office was introducing Articles of Impeachment naming George Bush, Dick Cheney and Condoleezza Rice.""According to McKinney: "It is time to break the vicious cycle where the poor go to war and veterans come home wounded and ignored.""Her answers were to the point; no dodging, hedging or dancing around the issues.

Agustin refused to leave with his unit and went absent without leave (AWOL).Since serving his prison term, Aguayo has been actively working with at-risk youth, dedicating his life to informing high risk youth of the other side recruits don't see in military recruitment ads. ]]> http://blip.tv/file/577502 Citizen Journalism iraq gi resisters war agustin aguayo Fri, 04 Jan 2008 09:45:47 +0000 iraq, gi resisters, war, agustin aguayo http://a.images.blip.tv/PhilosopherSeed-TurningUpTheHeatOnGIResistanceWithCOAgustinAguayo470.png iraq, gi resisters, war, agustin aguayo ]]> Support the Troops who Refuse to Fight with Iraq Veteran Agustin Aguayo http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/2.0/ 1B03FA82-B071-11DC-BF6D-8FD44087CC60 http://blip.tv/philosopherseeds-a-growing-concern/make-your-own-electric-peace-sign-for-christmas-561520 PhilosopherSeed 41110 philosopherSeed philosopherseeds-a-growing-concern PhilosopherSeed's "A Growing Concern" http://blip.tv/philosopherseeds-a-growing-concern http://a.images.blip.tv/user_photo_PhilosopherSeed900.png 561520 555974 file TV-G 0.0 2007-12-22T09:34:34Z English 0 0 0 365 AaKjVAI http://blip.tv/play/AaKjVAI http://blip.tv/comments/?attached_to=post561520&skin=rss PhilosopherSeed-MakeYourOwnElectricPeaceSignForChristmas578.png http://a.images.blip.tv/PhilosopherSeed-MakeYourOwnElectricPeaceSignForChristmas578-373.jpg Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 2.0

Road from Ar Ramadi: The Private Rebellion of Staff Sergeant MejíaOn June 22, 2007, Camilo Mejia, the first Conscientious Objector to walk off the front lines in Iraq spoke at the First Unitarian Church in Portland Oregon.On May 21, 2004, a U.S. military court sentenced Staff Sergeant Camilo Mejia Castillo of the Florida National Guard to the maximum penalty of one year's imprisonment for desertion. He had refused to return to his unit in Iraq, citing moral reasons, the legality of the war and the conduct of US troops towards Iraqi civilians and prisoners.Amnesty International considers him to be a prisoner of conscience, imprisoned for his conscientious opposition to participating in war.After a few brief introductory comments, Camilo Mejia read excerpts from his brand new book, "Road From Ar Ramadi".Camilo joined the service at age 19, served as an infantryman for 8 years, was a staff sergeant and squad leader. "I had done the training and had the knowledge and the expertise to do my job in Iraq." Though trained to kill and ignore the collateral damage of civilian casualties, he says that "there's no training to prepare one for that type of experience." He states further that "at 19 years of age we are not allowed to buy alcohol, yet when a young person decides not to participate in war they say that you knew what you were doing when you signed that contract."He recounts numerous experiences in Ar Ramadi, witnessing abuse, and worse, of civilians.Websites Camilo recommended during his presentation:Courage To Resisthttp://www.couragetoresist.orgIraq Veterans Against the Warhttp://www.ivaw.orgVeterans for Peacehttp://www.veteransforpeace.orgMilitary Families Speak Outhttp://www.mfso.orgGold Star Families for Peacehttp://www.gsfp.orgAgustin Aguayo Websitehttp://www.aguayodefense.orgAmazon Customer Book Review:A Real Look into Iraq, July 29, 2007By Lucia Goyen "Lucia" (Miami, Florida USA)"Amazing is not enough to describe this book and Camilo's personal story. Reading this book, you become a passenger on the arduous journey into Camilo's soul, and for that I cannot thank him enough. We all know what this war has done to the US image abroad, to the citizens at home, and to some extent, to the people of Iraq. However, we conveniently ignore the effects it has on our soldiers. Whether you are a staunch supporter of Operation Iraqi Freedom, or a pacifist opposed to all war, you NEED to read this book.While I was lost in the stories of atrocities, camaraderie, and battle, I kept forgetting it was real. This isn't a tale invented by the mind of a brilliant writer, as Camilo is, but a glimmer into his world, a story that intersects the many stories being laid out daily in this seemingly unending war. These stories must stop being ignored by the American people, who sit at home comfortable, flipping channels when news about Iraq breaks.Camilo's story not only brings us closer to Iraq than we can ever hope to be, but also brings us closer to true courage. We have all done things we are not proud of, or have sat idly by when we knew we could stop injustice. And Camilo is no exception. But after his experiences totaled more than he could bear, he realized what he needed to do. And the road he had to take was not any easier because of it. Standing up for ideals is what makes change in this world, and Camilo realized he needed to sacrifice to do just that. The book takes us from the tough streets of Ar Ramadi to the tougher streets of discovering one's own resolve and human responsibility.For all these reasons, people need to read this book. As Camilo says in his book, "Whether we squeeze the trigger, give the order, or simply stand idle in the face of senseless missions that result in the spilling of innocent blood, it doesn't make a difference. We die, little by little, each time someone gets killed, until there is no soul left, and the body becomes but a corpse, breathing and warm but void of humanity." As citizens, we can no longer stand idly by as this war progresses. Read this book, learn where you stand, and become an instrument of your ideals. That, I believe, was the point of Camilo's sacrifice and the gift he has given us." ]]> http://blip.tv/file/325581 Citizen Journalism iraq war gi resisters us military Wed, 01 Aug 2007 23:18:57 +0000 iraq war, gi resisters, us military http://a.images.blip.tv/PhilosopherSeed-RoadFromArRamadiThePrivateRebellionOfStaffSergeantMeji668.png iraq war, gi resisters, us military ]]> Road from Ar Ramadi: The Private Rebellion of Staff Sergeant Mejia http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/2.0/ 51DBC322-3F20-11DC-960E-CECC3BC41F9A http://blip.tv/philosopherseeds-a-growing-concern/a-growing-concern-the-myths-of-genetic-engineering-328013 PhilosopherSeed 41110 philosopherSeed philosopherseeds-a-growing-concern PhilosopherSeed's "A Growing Concern" http://blip.tv/philosopherseeds-a-growing-concern http://a.images.blip.tv/user_photo_PhilosopherSeed900.png 328013 323289 file TV-G 0.0 2007-07-31T04:41:35Z English 0 0 0 3501 AZSDMQI http://blip.tv/play/AZSDMQI http://blip.tv/comments/?attached_to=post328013&skin=rss PhilosopherSeed-AGCAnurahda498-689.jpg http://a.images.blip.tv/PhilosopherSeed-AGCAnurahda498-689-361.jpg Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 2.0

Lynne Stewart: My Fight for Justice in "Patriot Act" USAwww.lynnestewart.org Introduction by Ashlee Albies, chair, Portland National Lawyers Guild www.portlandnlg.org Radical human rights attorney Lynne Stewart is acclaimed for defending poor people, radicals of color and controversial figures. Because of this she has been falsely accused of helping terrorists. Now convicted, she recently received a 28 month sentence, but is free on bail pending appeal. On Tuesday, April 9, 2002, she was arrested and agents searched her Manhattan office for documents. She was arraigned before Manhattan federal Judge John Koeltl. This is an obvious attempt by the U.S. government to silence dissent, curtail vigorous defense lawyers, and install fear in those who would fight against the U.S. government's racism, seek to help Arabs and Muslims being prosecuted for free speech and defend the rights of all oppressed people. Lynne Stewart was in Portland, March 6, 2007, at Portland State University, as part of a West coast fund raising tour. She spoke for about 45 minutes, in part about her case, but much, much more. As she says at the outset, "this really isn't about the case and me, as much as it is about lawyering and what has become of lawyering over the past five years......my perception about this is....that we have seen a freezing of the playing field upon which lawyers operate. And this has to do of course with the sense that we have of who controls the court." She continues speaking about her case, but mostly as an example of government overreaching and its attempts to instill fear in the community of lawyers who defend American citizens. Her trial was a horrendous mockery, being held a few blocks from Ground Zero in New Your City, before a jury of local citizens, "who each had their own 911 story to tell." And at one point in this trial a large photograph of Osama Ben Laden was introduced to the jury. The judge permitted this. After much commentary on the Bush Administration and analysis of what is going on, she gives some sound advice to those in the audience: "...educate our fellow Americans to connect the dots, to see the Imperial design..." "...agitate, agitate, resist, resist. I cannot urge it more strongly." ]]> http://blip.tv/file/319745 Educational patriot act lynne stewart Sat, 28 Jul 2007 04:21:59 +0000 patriot act, lynne stewart http://a.images.blip.tv/PhilosopherSeed-LynneStewartMyFightForJusticeInPatriotActUSA914.png patriot act, lynne stewart ]]> Lynne Stewart: My Fight for Justice in "Patriot Act" USA http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/2.0/ 220CBAF4-3C8A-11DC-9D93-D427635416FA http://blip.tv/philosopherseeds-a-growing-concern/bark-for-mt-hood-may-2007-bark-about-hike-fish-creek-road-survey-323714 PhilosopherSeed 41110 philosopherSeed philosopherseeds-a-growing-concern PhilosopherSeed's "A Growing Concern" http://blip.tv/philosopherseeds-a-growing-concern http://a.images.blip.tv/user_photo_PhilosopherSeed900.png 323714 318997 file TV-G 0.0 2007-07-27T21:41:28Z English 0 0 0 3515 AZPhZgI http://blip.tv/play/AZPhZgI http://blip.tv/comments/?attached_to=post323714&skin=rss PhilosopherSeed-BARKForMtHoodMay2007BarkAboutHikeFishCreekRoadSurvey412.png http://a.images.blip.tv/PhilosopherSeed-BARKForMtHoodMay2007BarkAboutHikeFishCreekRoadSurvey412-652.jpg Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 2.0
Fish Creek Road Survey Hike May 18th, 2007 BARK Hike Leader: Amy Harwood http://bark-out.orghttp://bark-out.org/activities/travelplan.php"In 2005, the Forest Service finalized the Travel Planning Rule. The rule requires all national forests to designate those roads, trails, and areas that are open to motor vehicle use including Off-Highway Vehicles (OHVs)." "Mt. Hood National Forest was the first forest in the Pacific Northwest to begin Travel Planning. Most forests that have already begun Travel Planning are in the Southwest US and are focusing all of their energy on controlling devastating OHV use. In the Pacific Northwest OHVs are a big problem, but pale in comparison to the damage being done by a crumbling road network." "The Forest Service's own 2003 Roads Analysis states that nearly half (49%) of the roads in Mt. Hood National Forest are unnecessary. There are over 4,000 miles of roads in the forest, most of which were built for the purpose of logging in our watersheds. Many of these roads are deteriorating, posing additional threats to fish, wildlife, and the drinking water of over a million Oregon residents. Time and time again the Forest Service has said that it has too many forest roads to maintain properly, and that the consequences are impacting drinking water and wildlife habitat. The Travel Plan is the perfect opportunity for the Forest Service to work with Mt. Hood communities and start to fix the roads problem." "Join Bark in taking advantage of this historic opportunity to restore Mt. Hood National Forest!

Annie's Cabin Timber Sale http://www.bark-out.org Bark Hike leaders: Paula Hood Joseph Auth Molalla RiverWatch http://www.molallariverwatch.org Article below from the Portland Independent Media Center, July 5th, 2007. For complete contact information, please visit:http://portland.indymedia.org/en/2007/07/361818.shtmlFor complete details on the Annie's Cabin Protest, please visit: http://bark-out.org/tsdb/anniec/Bark's_Annies_Cabin_Protest,_without_photos.htm TAKE ACTION NOW TO PROTECT MOLALLA RIVER RECREATION CORRIDOR. Annie's Cabin timber sale, a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) proposal to thin 566-acres within the Molalla River Recreation Corridor, contract has been rewarded to Freres Lumber Company. This timber sale would severely impact recreational trails designated for hiking, mountain biking, and horseback riding created by volunteers. Sensitive species such as Oregon Slender Salamanders, Red Tree Voles, and Tall Bughane have been found within this timber sale project and would also be impacted. Act now to contact Congresswoman Darlene Hooley to tell her office to urge the BLM to cancel this timber sale. History of Trail System16 of the 25 units of the Annie's Cabin timber sale either have the Molalla River Recreation Corridor's Shared-Use Trail System running through units or abutting the units with no buffers. This trail system was created in the 1990s when the BLM closed 13 miles of logging roads converting these roads into trails for hiking, mountain biking, and equestrian uses. In 1994, the BLM approved the development of 12 miles of additional single-track trails in partnership with volunteer organizations. Thinning of Unit #2 would impact Amanda's Trail, Mark's Trail, and Sandquist's Trail, three trails named for early advocates and builders of the trail system. We need to protect and preserve the scenic beauty of these trails that volunteers spent long hours to create and maintain!Story of AnnieThe timber sale name, Annie's Cabin, comes from a cabin that sits just north of Squirrel Creek on the east side of the Huckleberry Trail. Jim Williams, Annie Miller, and her daughter, Squirrel, used this cabin as their living room (a small trailer was next door) from June 1992 until December 1993. They were BLM volunteers who worked to improve the condition of the Molalla River Recreation Corridor. Jim's presence made a big difference in the Molalla River Recreation Corridor. He loved this area and worked hard to improve and protect it. Jim spent his last days there and died in October 1993. Annie and Squirrel left two months later. The cabin sits just 250 feet south of Unit #6 of the timber sale. We need to continue to protect Jim's vision!Oregon Slender SalamandersVolunteers in Bark have found Oregon Slender Salamanders, a State and Federal 'sensitive listed species, in Units 9 and 13. The BLM provides no plans in the Environmental Assessment and Decision Rationale on a way to protect this species from the logging operations. Oregon Slender Salamanders need dense canopy and course woody debris over 20 inches in diameter to survive in the forest. Logging operations on the ground and opening of canopy will very likely disturb this creature's habitat. According to the BLM's Decision Rationale, the agency also found this species in Unit 6, 16, 17, and 18. We need to get protection buffers placed on these Oregon Slender Salamanders!Wildlife NestsThe BLM has removed 30 acres from Units 8, 9, 11, and 12 from the timber sale due to the discovery of red tree voles. A Survey & Manage listed species, red tree voles live in the canopies of old growth Douglas Fir trees and provide 50% of the diet of Northern Spotted Owls. We need an open process by the BLM for the public to comment on these red tree vole findings as well as information regarding the species living in 50 nests of trees within the timber sale found by Bark volunteers!Steelhead and Chinook SalmonThe BLM did not address the cumulative effects by this timber sale, the surrounding lands, and future projects impacting Steelhead and Chinook Salmon that read and spawn along the Molalla River watershed. A creek just north of Unit #13 does not have the sixty foot buffer as required by the agency for perennial streams. We need buffers along both the perennial and intermittent streams longer than the minimum required by the BLM to protect the water quality for fish as well as drinking water! ]]> http://blip.tv/file/312685 Educational blm usfs logging watersheds ecosystem forests Sun, 22 Jul 2007 21:04:47 +0000 blm, usfs, logging, watersheds, ecosystem, forests http://a.images.blip.tv/PhilosopherSeed-BARKForMtHoodApril2007GroundtruthingHikeAnniesCabinTim610.png blm, usfs, logging, watersheds, ecosystem, forests ]]> BARK for Mt.

Defenseless Iraqi men, women and children have been caught in currents of Empire, greed, hate and revenge far beyond their ability to understand or, unfortunately, escape.We have unleashed a firestorm in a country whose demographic landscape is prone to sectarian violence. This apparently was not considered when the lies were told which seduced us into accepting this atrocity.We need these reminders. We need to remember those who have died, even if they may be nameless and faceless half way around the other side of the globe.Our Democracy, we the people, have permitted this war; we have funded and justified an occupation both heartless and heartbreaking. Our taxes supply the weapons doing so much of the killing on both sides, and in many other conflicts around the world. As a nation, we cannot hide behind the fact that the majority of Iraqi deaths are at the hands of their own people, of their own religion. A bloody drama has been set in motion in Iraq, a drama which consumes both them and us, and which offers no way out.This day, perhaps laying down in solidarity with the dead can in some small way resurrect the heart of a nation. Perhaps our grief added to the anguish felt by the families of the dead will swell and rise and reach a kindling temperature whose heat will purify each premature death, each tortured family, each heart seared by the injustice of it all. ]]> http://blip.tv/file/209574 Educational iraq war_resisters Wed, 25 Apr 2007 04:37:17 +0000 iraq, war_resisters http://a.images.blip.tv/PhilosopherSeed-PORTLANDDIEIN121.jpeg iraq, war_resisters ]]> PORTLAND DIE-IN http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.0/ 083B7AE2-F122-11DB-A878-FC9268F7321D http://blip.tv/philosopherseeds-a-growing-concern/march-on-the-pentagon-national-press-club-press-conference-march-6th-2007-211416 PhilosopherSeed 41110 philosopherSeed philosopherseeds-a-growing-concern PhilosopherSeed's "A Growing Concern" http://blip.tv/philosopherseeds-a-growing-concern http://a.images.blip.tv/user_photo_PhilosopherSeed900.png 211416 207098 file TV-G 0.0 2007-04-22T22:37:20Z English 0 0 0 3562 AYz0PAI http://blip.tv/play/AYz0PAI http://blip.tv/comments/?attached_to=post211416&skin=rss PhilosopherSeed-MARCHONTHEPENTAGONNationalPressClubPressConferenceMarc369.png http://a.images.blip.tv/PhilosopherSeed-MARCHONTHEPENTAGONNationalPressClubPressConferenceMarc369-582.jpg Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 2.0

It’s hard to convince yourself to fight for something you may not believe has ever existed." --from Endgame, Volume I "Hailed as the philosopher poet of the ecological movement, best-selling author Derrick Jensen returns with a passionate forecast of how industrial civilization, and the persistent and widespread violence it requires, is unsustainable.

(I have, however, seen skies perpetually darkened by smog.) As with freedom, so too the extraordinary beauty and fecundity of the world itself: It’s hard to love something you’ve never known. It’s hard to convince yourself to fight for something you may not believe has ever existed." --from Endgame, Volume I "Hailed as the philosopher poet of the ecological movement, best-selling author Derrick Jensen returns with a passionate forecast of how industrial civilization, and the persistent and widespread violence it requires, is unsustainable. Jensen's intricate weaving together of history, philosophy, environmentalism, economics, literature and psychology has produced a powerful argument that demands attention in the tradition of such important books as Herbert Marcuse's Eros and Civilization and Brigid Brophy's Black Ship to Hell." ]]> http://blip.tv/file/194831 Educational civilization environment Tue, 10 Apr 2007 03:41:44 +0000 civilization, environment http://a.images.blip.tv/PhilosopherSeed-DerrickJensenEndgamePartOne803-271.jpg civilization, environment ]]> Derrick Jensen: Endgame Part One http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/2.0/ 0AA09B54-E318-11DB-AA43-86AD011BF496 http://blip.tv/philosopherseeds-a-growing-concern/grannies-and-grandpas-shut-down-military-recruiters-in-portland-oregon-194190 PhilosopherSeed 41110 philosopherSeed philosopherseeds-a-growing-concern PhilosopherSeed's "A Growing Concern" http://blip.tv/philosopherseeds-a-growing-concern http://a.images.blip.tv/user_photo_PhilosopherSeed900.png 194190 189950 file TV-G 0.0 2007-04-05T01:50:33Z English 0 0 0 821 AYvtcgI http://blip.tv/play/AYvtcgI http://blip.tv/comments/?attached_to=post194190&skin=rss PhilosopherSeed-GranniesAndGrandpasShutDownMilitaryRecruitersInPortland458.jpg http://a.images.blip.tv/PhilosopherSeed-GranniesAndGrandpasShutDownMilitaryRecruitersInPortland458-777.jpg Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 2.0
Today, March 30, 2007, members of the Portland Community opposing the war in Iraq protested the military recruiters office on NE Broadway. When I arrived, there were about 20 people present and three elders in rocking chairs blocking the doorways, refusing entry at one point to an 18 years old who had an appointment inside.The young man was affable and not at all enraged or indignant about being refused admittance, though the same could not be said for Officer Schaffer who verbally engaged the protesters for several minutes before pushing elders aside to gain entry both in and out of the offices.This officer, though short of abusive, insisted repeatedly that the young man had the Constitutional right to make the choice to enter the building and serve his country. Though the officer was able to physically push his way past the Grannie blockade, the young man showed much more respect and consideration for those who were trying to save his life, or protect him from contributing to the massive war crimes being committed daily in Iraq.On hand was Col. Ann Wright (ret.) a 29 year Army veteran and diplomat who resigned in opposition to the invasion of Iraq, local members of Iraq Veterans Against the War, Veterans for Pace, Chapter 72, Code Pink for Peace, and Portland Peaceful Response Coalition. Ann Wright was an inspirational speaker who engaged the crowd a couple of times, offering her perspective and her experiences with the resistance to the war taking place in Washington D.C.The 13 1/2 minute video includes a 5 minute or so interview with her as well as footage of the arrests. Two officers eventually appeared and queried the grannies blocking the door if they intended to get arrested. They replied that they would not remove their rocking chairs from the doorways. The officers left, but returned with reinforcements, who arrested the elders seated in their rocking chairs, cuffed them and escorted them to the car, amidst cheers and refrains from, "we shall overcome."Another small group of protesters entered the building from a side doors, which quickly brought officers to that part of the building. Two or three of this number exited the building, while one woman was arrested and escorted to jail.I think the total was five arrests. I don't know the count, but during the three month campaign, scores of elders have been arrested, and insist that these weekly blockades will continue until the Occupation is ended.This, as with the weekly www.defundthewar.com campaign at the offices of Oregon Sen. Gordon Smith, is an ongoing presence for Peace in Portland Oregon.We can all do something! ]]> http://blip.tv/file/189950 Politics anti-war peace surge protectors brigade grannies military recruiters arrests blockade Thu, 05 Apr 2007 01:50:33 +0000 anti-war, peace, surge protectors brigade, grannies, military recruiters, arrests, blockade http://a.images.blip.tv/PhilosopherSeed-GranniesAndGrandpasShutDownMilitaryRecruitersInPortland458.jpg anti-war, peace, surge protectors brigade, grannies, military recruiters, arrests, blockade ]]> Grannies and Grandpas Shut Down Military Recruiters in Portland Oregon http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.0/ CA3E2BCA-DE36-11DB-87A3-C1E95B8C5D7B http://blip.tv/philosopherseeds-a-growing-concern/we-re-not-trying-to-save-democracy-in-this-country-we-re-trying-to-create-democracy-in-this-country-187721 PhilosopherSeed 41110 philosopherSeed philosopherseeds-a-growing-concern PhilosopherSeed's "A Growing Concern" http://blip.tv/philosopherseeds-a-growing-concern http://a.images.blip.tv/user_photo_PhilosopherSeed900.png 187721 183505 file TV-G 0.0 2007-03-29T20:48:04Z English 0 0 0 1903 AYu7LQI http://blip.tv/play/AYu7LQI http://blip.tv/comments/?attached_to=post187721&skin=rss PhilosopherSeed-WereNotTryingToSAVEDemocracyInThisCountryWereTryingTo651-302.jpg http://a.images.blip.tv/PhilosopherSeed-WereNotTryingToSAVEDemocracyInThisCountryWereTryingTo651-302-639.jpg Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 2.0

Ralph Nader, consumer advocate, lawyer, and author, spoke at Portland, Oregon's Bagdad Theatre February 13, 2007. Ralph's new book is titled, "The Seventeen Traditions". www.seventeentraditions.comFilmed by William Seamanpdxjustice Media Productions www.pdxjustice.org"I've never written a book like this before, and I want to explain why I wrote it, in addition to being a love story, for my mom and dad and my sisters and brother. I wrote it because...if you are looking for active citizens to help you make a better country or community, after a while you run out of exhortations and you ask yourself, 'how do we get more active citizens?'""Sometimes you have a demonstration, you have a march, people come and they connect, or somebody has a tragedy and forms something like Mothers Against Drunk Drivers. Or they might come out of the Universities, perchance, having some sort of mission, whether in science, engineering, politics, economics, organizing, whatever. But it's never enough, there are never enough active citizens.""And if you look at the generation of citizens who are active from the getgo, you go back to the family."From here Nader speaks about the Family in America, how it has become "a political football," coming under tremendous "economic pressure, the separation hour after hour of the parents and the children, long commutes.....commercial pressure; we're in the first generation of systematic direct commercial marketing to little children, bypassing their parents and undermining parental authority....."These remarks continue, criticizing what he calls, "corporate child molesters," leading up to the foundation for his book, the upbringing he received by his parents. As he states early on, "the quality of the world is traced to the quality of upbringing."His parents arrived in America at age nineteen from Lebanon , having to learn a new culture and language, in great part from their children. "They had a tradition of reciprocity, their children of course immediately being born here....they taught the parents, and the parents integrated it into their own framework, ethical and advisory framework. And the tradition of reciprocity never left us."Nader slowly goes through the 17 traditions by which he was raised., the first of which was learning to listen. His stories are close to his heart and therefore, I believe, will strike a resounding cord in anyone who listens to his words. Flush with anecdotes of life at home and brimming with love and respect for his parents, this presentation is much different than the usual Nader critique of government and society, though such criticism is at the heart of the need for these traditions. He finishes with, "their strengths were my metabolism, they propelled me to try to reach as many people as I could, and to try to show them that most of our problems have solutions, if only people would give of themselves enough time to stand up and be counted. And if only some of us would stand up and lead. For the people do have the power, but only if they recognize it and take the time to apply it.""That is the biggest IF in politics, isn't it? But that is the best reason for trying to make the flowers of Democracy bloom." ]]> http://blip.tv/file/181542 Educational Tue, 27 Mar 2007 23:28:56 +0000 http://a.images.blip.tv/PhilosopherSeed-RalphNaderTheSeventeenTraditions797.jpeg ]]> Ralph Nader: "The Seventeen Traditions" http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/2.0/ F8D326C0-D7FB-11DB-8F98-DCD137154C77 http://blip.tv/philosopherseeds-a-growing-concern/omoyele-sowore-nigeria-and-big-oil-180410 PhilosopherSeed 41110 philosopherSeed philosopherseeds-a-growing-concern PhilosopherSeed's "A Growing Concern" http://blip.tv/philosopherseeds-a-growing-concern http://a.images.blip.tv/user_photo_PhilosopherSeed900.png 180410 176221 file TV-G 0.0 2007-03-21T22:31:54Z English 0 0 0 3555 AYuCHgI http://blip.tv/play/AYuCHgI http://blip.tv/comments/?attached_to=post180410&skin=rss PhilosopherSeed-OmoyeleSoworeNigeriaAndBigOil512.png http://a.images.blip.tv/PhilosopherSeed-OmoyeleSoworeNigeriaAndBigOil512-508.jpg Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 2.0
"... for every gallon of gas you buy, there is human blood in it." Omoyele Sowore spoke at Lewis and Clark College in Portland, Oregon on November 15, 2006. Omoyele Sowore is a Nigerian Oil activist traveling through the United States educating people about tragic conditions in his country caused by our planetary addiction to petroleum. He spoke of the pollution of the Niger delta in Africa, of torture, of rampant and escalating poverty in a country producing 2.5 million barrels of oil a day, 25% of which goes to the United States. Niger is the 6th largest producer of oil in the world. Omoyele tells the story of the ongoing destruction of the Niger Delta, not as a series of statistics, but as how it affected him growing up, affected his education and finally forced him to abandon his country in order to carry a message few people in the developed countries really want to hear or seriously consider. These remarks were not directed specifically to save his country, but more broadly, to include all people, all living things, all that exists upon our fragile earth. As Emerson said so wisely, "our virtues come in moments; our vices are habitual." The criminal destruction of our planet, our home is committed by millions of little acts, every day, every week, every month, every year, mostly unconsciously, by a relatively small portion of us who live upon it.www.SaharaReporters.comwww.AFRICAST.tvGlobalexchange.org/war_peace_democracy/oil ]]> http://blip.tv/file/176221 Educational nigeria big oil environment human rights Wed, 21 Mar 2007 22:31:54 +0000 nigeria, big oil, environment, human rights http://a.images.blip.tv/PhilosopherSeed-OmoyeleSoworeNigeriaAndBigOil512.png nigeria, big oil, environment, human rights ]]> Omoyele Sowore: Nigeria and Big Oil http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/2.0/ 4531BE62-D6E6-11DB-8B36-99FD37653CE1 http://blip.tv/philosopherseeds-a-growing-concern/citizens-hearing-on-the-legality-of-u-s-actions-in-iraq-parts-1-and-2-179134 PhilosopherSeed 41110 philosopherSeed philosopherseeds-a-growing-concern PhilosopherSeed's "A Growing Concern" http://blip.tv/philosopherseeds-a-growing-concern http://a.images.blip.tv/user_photo_PhilosopherSeed900.png 179134 174949 file TV-G 0.0 2007-03-20T13:24:02Z English 0 0 0 3045 AYr4IgI http://blip.tv/play/AYr4IgI http://blip.tv/comments/?attached_to=post179134&skin=rss PhilosopherSeed-CITIZENSHEARINGONTHELEGALITYOFUSACTIONSINIRAQPARTS1A838-253.jpg http://a.images.blip.tv/PhilosopherSeed-CITIZENSHEARINGONTHELEGALITYOFUSACTIONSINIRAQPARTS1A838-253-787.jpg Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 2.0

The Citizens' Hearing was convened to present evidence that Lt. Ehren Watada would have presented in his February 5 court martial on the question that the military ruled barred from entry on Jan. 16 - the question of the Iraq War's legality. Lt. Watada has repeatedly asserted that because the Iraq War is illegal, it is his duty to refuse orders to deploy. He is the Army's first commissioned officer to take such a stand."

"End the War. Begin the Peace." Portland, Oregon, March 19th, 2006. One year ago, on the 3rd anniversary of the Iraq war, Ms. Khamas cried out to the American people to stop the United States' genocide of the Iraqi people. "Please, people of America..." Were our citizens allowed to hear her message? "Ms. Eman Ahmad Khamas is a journalist, translator and human rights activist who lives in Baghdad with her husband and two daughters. She is a member of the Women's Will organization, which focuses on defining and defending women's rights outside of political party interests and opposing incarceration of women as hostages.

Lt. Ehren Watada is the first commissioned officer to refuse deployment to the Iraq war and occupation. Lt. Watada spoke at the Langston Hughes Cultural Arts Center in Seattle, Washington, on January 27th, 2007. "In opposition to my position, the argument will be made that soldiers don't have a right to pick and choose their wars. I would respond that it is not only our right but our constitutional and moral duty." "Many seem to forget that service members swear loyalty not to one man or an institution but to this country and its people. We don't swear to fight in wars or just do our job, nor blindly obey orders, but to protect the promise, principles and laws of this country at all costs." "Our country has been led in the wrong direction, an illegal and immoral direction. But to know our country was sent to war and devastated another civilization over falsehoods is something I will never stand for." For updates on Lt.

"The Public Square is the Heart of the Community" Mark Lakeman, Co-Director of the non-profit City Repair Project, speaks at Washington State University/Vancouver. From the City Repair website www.cityrepair.org: Who We Are: "We’re Portlanders and newcomers, students, professionals, laborers, cooks and bottle-washers." Mission: "The City Repair Project is an organized group action that educates and inspires communities and individuals to creatively transform the places where they live." "We facilitate artistic and ecologically-oriented placemaking through projects that honor the interconnection of human communities and the natural world." Why City Repair? In 1785, the Continental Congress passed the National Land Ordinance, which laid a Roman colonial grid over all lands west of the Ohio River. This included all future cities and towns. Public spaces and piazzas occur naturally at the intersection of pathways when communities are allowed to grow organically. The National Land Ordinance both pre-empted the natural development of such places and neglected to provide for them within the mandated grid. In cities based on the grid plan, it is much easier for people to feel isolated and not know their own neighbors. The neighborhood places for communication and gathering that develop naturally in non-grid cities must be specifically planned for in grid cities. The City Repair Project was established to return these important places of communication and participation to our neighborhoods. At City Repair, we see that sustainable communities are built when people work together for mutual benefit. We create and facilitate prototype gathering spaces that can inspire any community to create their own places of gathering. Our projects are all aimed at building a more community-oriented and ecologically sustainable society – but we can’t do it in your neighborhood if you don’t get involved! If you’d like more information about our work, please contact us, or just check out our current schedule and come to one of our potlucks or community events! ]]> http://blip.tv/file/142063 Educational cities sustainability Fri, 02 Feb 2007 21:26:02 +0000 cities, sustainability http://a.images.blip.tv/PhilosopherSeed-WHENCITIESAREALLOWEDTOGROWORGANICALLY575.png cities, sustainability ]]> WHEN CITIES ARE ALLOWED TO GROW ORGANICALLY http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/2.0/ 63236860-B2AD-11DB-9F65-BDB92FE0984D http://blip.tv/philosopherseeds-a-growing-concern/a-radical-blackfoot-teaches-the-economics-of-globalization-145836 PhilosopherSeed 41110 philosopherSeed philosopherseeds-a-growing-concern PhilosopherSeed's "A Growing Concern" http://blip.tv/philosopherseeds-a-growing-concern http://a.images.blip.tv/user_photo_PhilosopherSeed900.png 145836 141863 file TV-UN 0.0 2007-02-02T11:06:09Z English 0 0 0 7115 AYj0EAI http://blip.tv/play/AYj0EAI http://blip.tv/comments/?attached_to=post145836&skin=rss PhilosopherSeed-ARADICALBLACKFOOTTEACHESTHEECONOMICSOFGLOBALIZATION203.jpeg http://a.images.blip.tv/PhilosopherSeed-ARADICALBLACKFOOTTEACHESTHEECONOMICSOFGLOBALIZATION203-584.jpg Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 2.0
"I'm not committing any crimes but daring to say what I'm saying... counter views are welcome, counter arguments are welcome... whatever it is, its welcome." Jim M. Craven (Omahkohkiaayo i'poyi), Professor of Economics and Business Division Chair at Clark College/Vancouver, speaks at the Globalization of Homelessness and Poverty Community Lecture Series, Washington State University/Vancouver. January 27th, 2005 From the website: www.aradicalblackfoot.blogspot.comI am a member of the Blackfoot Nation and also hold U.S. and Canadian citizenships. I was kicked out of high school at sixteen years old and "served"--or "disserved" depending upon point of view--in the U.S. Army from 1963 to 1966; in a certain way, this was a blessing and a real and significant factor in my getting a real education. For revenge, I became a Professor of Economics and hopefully real educator. I was invited to become--which I never once sought in any way--a biographical subject in several Marquis "Who's Whos": "Who's Who in: The World; America; the West; Science and Engineering; Finance and Industry; and American Education." This is only noteworthy in that this might be seen as a delicious piece of humor and unintended infiltration/subversion of one of the sacred institutions of "The Establishment" by a radical, renegade and anti-Establishment Blackfoot who spent many years protesting many of those "fellow biographical subjects" in the various "Who's Whos."

"The term Green Scare refers to the federal government's expanding prosecution efforts against animal liberation and ecological activists, drawing parallels to the "Red Scares" of the 1910's and 1950s." www.greenscare.org Barbara's talk is part of a three part series addressing the government's use of the ever expanding definition of "terrorism". Barbara Dudley Portland State University professor Former Executive Director of Greenpeace USA Former President of the National Lawyers Guild BARBARA DUDLEY speaks eloquently from her experience with Greenpeace USA and the National Lawyers Guild.

"The Great Plains are the Saudi Arabia of Wind Power" From the Jim Lockhart PhilosopherSeed 2003 Archives Portland, OregonWinona LaDuke speaks on Genetic Engineering, Biodiversity and Decentralization: A view from the Native American. 2003 "Across the continent, on the shores of small tributaries, in the shadows of sacred mountains, on the vast expanse of the prairies, or in the safety of the woods, prayers are being repeated, as they have for thousands of years, and common people with uncommon courage and the whispers of their ancestors in their ears continue their struggles to protect the land and water and trees on which their very existence is based. And like small tributaries joining together to form a mighty river, their force and power grows. This river will not be dammed." --"Like Tributaries to a River" Voices from the Gaps http://voices.cla.umn.edu/vg/Bios/entries/laduke_winona.html During her talk, Winona speaks about the following issues and organizations: Honor The Earth: a voice for the earth... a voice for those not heard www.honorearth.org California Interfaith Power and Light: Our faith, our planet, our responsibility - a religious response to global warming www.interfaithpower.org Save Wild Rice: Protecting Wild Rice from Genetic Engineering www.savewildrice.org NativeEnergy: Supporting and building new renewable energy projects www.nativeenergy.com White Earth Land Recovery Project www.nativeharvest.com Black Mesa Trust www.blackmesatrust.org Black Mesa Indigenous Support www.blackmesais.org Black Mesa Water Coalition www.blackmesawatercoalition.orgThe Gwich'in Steering Committee: Formed in 1988 in response to increasing threats to open the coastal plain of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge to leasing for oil. www.gwichinsteeringcommittee.org Glen Canyon Institute: Dedicated to restoring a healthy Colorado River through Glen Canyon www.glencanyon.org National Resources Defense Council: The Earth's Best Defense www.nrdc.org Related videos and websites: Peabody Coal/Cortez Gold: The Ongoing Rape of Indigenous Land, Water and Air http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=4677532421130427782 Sacred Species http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-8679732113106497385 Sacred Land Film Project www.sacredland.org ]]> http://blip.tv/file/141589 Educational native americans wind energy Thu, 01 Feb 2007 23:07:40 +0000 native americans, wind energy http://a.images.blip.tv/PhilosopherSeed-WinonaLaDukeOneWouldDoWellToLiveInAccordanceWithNatur435.jpeg native americans, wind energy ]]> Winona LaDuke: One would do well to live in accordance with natural law. http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/2.0/ 741971CA-B233-11DB-94F2-965EE20A48BB http://blip.tv/philosopherseeds-a-growing-concern/oaxaca-they-can-cut-down-all-the-flowers-but-they-can-t-stop-the-spring-145488 PhilosopherSeed 41110 philosopherSeed philosopherseeds-a-growing-concern PhilosopherSeed's "A Growing Concern" http://blip.tv/philosopherseeds-a-growing-concern http://a.images.blip.tv/user_photo_PhilosopherSeed900.png 145488 141519 file TV-G 0.0 2007-02-01T20:33:19Z English 0 0 0 1912 AYjxNAI http://blip.tv/play/AYjxNAI http://blip.tv/comments/?attached_to=post145488&skin=rss PhilosopherSeed-OaxacaTheyCanCutDownAllTheFlowersButTheyCantStopThe433-281.jpg http://a.images.blip.tv/PhilosopherSeed-OaxacaTheyCanCutDownAllTheFlowersButTheyCantStopThe433-281-73.jpg Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 2.0

"You are gone but your spirit is still with us" El Enemigo Comun www.elenemigocomun.net "November 29th, 2006 - Oaxaca is under siege. More than 140 people were arrested this weekend and three were killed. The repression has reached new heights, with disappearances occuring daily. The Federal Police (PFP) are deploying special operation units to crush the popular uprising, and have issued statements declaring that they will do whatever it takes to put an end to the movement by December 1st, when the new government takes power." Portland Central American Solidarity Committee www.pcasc.net "Oregon Oaxaca Solidarity supports the people of Oaxaca in their courageous struggle to build a popular democratic government that values citizens over corrupt political and economic interests. They are taking back their government from a discredited governor and those who use violence to keep him in power. The people of Oaxaca now face a repressive occupation by Federal military police forces and terrorist acts of disappearances."

From the Jim Lockhart PhilosopherSeed 2005 archives, Portland, Oregon Jeff's speech was a Free Speech TV Keynote presentation. www.freespeech.orgJeff Cohen: The State of Alternative Media "You are going to hear me railing tonight against the half a dozen giant media conglomerates that are sitting on the windpipe of the First Amendment. They use the public's airwaves and public subsidies to restrict the flow of information. How do I know? I've taken a paycheck from three of those corporations, having been a paid pundit at CNN, Fox News Channel and MSNBC. I started out as an outsider media critic and it was like a slow motion nightmare where I found myself embedded inside the mainstream media." From www.jeffcohen.org: "Jeff Cohen is a writer, lecturer and media critic who founded the media watch group FAIR in 1986. His new book is Cable News Confidential: My Misadventures in Corporate Media. He was an on-air commentator (and "Donahue" senior producer) at MSNBC in 2002/2003; a weekly "News Watch" panelist on Fox News Channel from 1997 to 2002: a co-host of CNN's "Crossfire" in 1996. His columns have been published in dozens of dailies, including USA Today, Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, Boston Globe, Newsday and Atlanta Constitution. He was a regular columnist at Brill's Content. In the mid-1990s, he co-wrote the nationally syndicated "Media Beat" column (with Norman Solomon). In 2003, he was the communications director of the Kucinich for President campaign."
