Category Archives: Fascism[ April 9, 2008; 7:30 pm to 9:00 pm. ] Conservative writer Dinesh D’Souza - who blames multi-culturalism for America’s decline and godless liberals for the 9-11 attacks - will be speaking at Skyview High School as part of WSU’s Public Affairs Distinguished Lecture Series.
From the Columbian:
D’Souza is the latest in a line of prominent speakers to deliver the annual WSU Vancouver lecture, which rotates [...]
Dick Cheney is the original bad penny. If anything, anywhere in the world, is fucked up, it’s guaranteed to have his bloody paw prints all over it. From the WaPo via Digby:
The roots of the crisis go back to the blind bargain Washington made after 9/11 with the regime that had heretofore been [...]
Either Bush really is Cheney’s puppet, told what to say when and kept in the dark until the last moment; or, he’s a craven, power-mad asshole:
The U.S. National Intelligence Estimate (NIE) took U.S. friends and foes by surprise after years of strident rhetoric from Washington accusing Iran of pursuing a covert nuclear weapons program.
Bush warned [...]
You’ve probably already heard about the almost-reasonable-sounding House Resolution 1955 (a/k/a Senate Bill 1959): the Violent Radicalization and Homegrown Terrorism Prevention Act of 2007. We all want to prevent Violent Radicalization and Homegrown Terrorism, don’t we? Anyone who doesn’t must want the terrorists to win! You freedom-hater, you!
Or so it must have [...]
I have been reading Naomi Klien’s The Shock Doctrine, but I haven’t finished it yet.
Why?
It is the only book I’ve ever read where the facts are so horrendous that I have to put the book down to keep from becoming physically ill.
I think this is because when I read most books about geopolitical atrocities, they [...]

We will be holding the CHEVRON PROTEST through FAX and PHONE calls on TUESDAY October 9th from 1:00pm-3:00pm Pacific Time (4:00pm-6:00pm Eastern / 8:00pm-10pm GMT).
* Chevron pays millions of dollars in oil and gas royalties to the current military junta. We will demand that they put these royalties in escrow for the legitimate, [...]
[ October 6, 2007; 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm. ] While this isn’t a Vancouver area event, I thought it warranted our attention and support:
“Hammerskin Nation” Racists Will Meet with Opposition:People from All Backgrounds Unite Against White Supremacist Organizations Portland, Oregon
The Hammerskin Nation, a neo-Nazi skinhead organization, aims to attract hundreds of hardcore racists to the group’s twentieth-anniversary celebration, to be held October 5 [...]
Unlike most white folks from the South, Burma has been a part of my consciousness since I was in kindergarten.
My education began in the first kindergarten class of a new, progressive-minded Episcopal school. St. Stephens back then was tiny: fewer than 200 students in 13 grades, and six of those students were Newhalls.
And two [...]
Defense Secretary Robert Gates says he’ll recommend that Bush veto Jim Webb’s legislation granting troops equal time home for each month spent on deployment:
“It would be extremely difficult for us to manage that. It really is a backdoor way to try and force the president to accelerate the drawdown,” Gates said.
And the problem with [...]
We are responsible for the deaths MORE THAN 1 MILLION INNOCENT PEOPLE.
Jesus H. Christ. Now can we beg forgiveness and go home?
I am so sick of being an American.
