Get Involved and Take Action
Restore and protect civil rights and
liberties guaranteed by the Bill of Rights.
And Promote candidates for public office who

Although the impact of my videos may be
slighted, I will not be fearful of being
watched by my own government. Our government
should be fearful of us. It is our job as
decent citizens of this GREAT COUNTRY to keep
our government in check. And if I can help
some of the blind sheep SEE what is actually
going on, and what might happen if we don't
protest or fight back, then I have done my
job. Screw Fear, Fear Breeds Repression.

Edward R. Murrow:
"We must not confuse dissent with disloyalty.
When the loyal opposition dies, the soul of
America dies with it."

report back from "The Peoples Summit"
after the second sunburnt day of the gulf
coast's people's summit, we here in new
orleans are acting like we have months left
before bush comes to town, when in fact he is
here enjoying the city, comforted by air
conditioning and motorcades. we are already
witnessing the effects of his Security &
Prosperity Partnership: with the mississippi
river bridge's on and off ramps blocked, I-10
was made into an express highway, directing
flows of traffic and people, conveniently out
of his way, inconveniencing everyone else
from having access to the city.
The canal street ferry, shuttling internally
displaced traffic across the mississippi
river, was circled through the day by coast
guard boats fully armed and ready to fire
mounted machine guns, in full show of force
and what bush intends to mean by 'security,'
we on the docks agreed was menacing and
intimidating. the imminent, historic, and
nation-altering meeting about to take place
between the leaders of the "free world'' is
being met with little, hardly any, noticeable
resistance. Due at least in part to the
crippled condition of new orleans, where 3
years after the hurricanes people continue to
face daily struggles to survive, with no
surplus resources, time, or active community
members to lend to what would likely be, in
any other city in the hemisphere, an equally
historic People's protest to the executive
meeting.
Civilian resistance and protest to massive
free trade agreements seems to be planned for
more by bush than by the american public or
the "progressive left", and so new orleans is
the perfect backdrop for the announcement of
the spp: sweeping decisions adversely
affecting millions of people are met with a
strangled cry, gone unheard by the rest of
the nation.
"Understanding who profits and how: NAFTA +
and Katrina Profiteering" was a misnomer, a
vague power-analysis turned roundcircle
discussion, facilitated by the people's
institute for survival and beyond. The
session was attended by community organizers,
international public service workers union
representative, mexican trade unions,
activists from chiapas, american and canadian
youth, citizen journalists and media
activists, farmer union representative,
social workers, non-profit organizations, and
new orleanians, served more as the critical
race theory workshop that the Peoples
Institute is known for, and not as any
attempt for a coordinated approach or
discussion on how to challenge bush, calderon
and harper at this critical moment.
ironically, at this international summit,
facilitators asked that we divide ourselves
into national groups to notice similarities
between new orleans and wherever we were
visiting from, something that would have been
manifold more useful to hear from each other,
as it was a rare opportunity to hear voices
from across the heavily guarded borders.
discussion was derailed and became about how
we are gate keepers, moving further and
further away from any plan of action. the 6
hours were used as an introduction to social
inequality, as if people signed up to take a
class on the internalization of
inferiority/superiority. in fact people came
to act together in the face of big brother
government.
for all of our talk on giving voices to
disenfranchised people around the world,
taking queues from these communities,
learning from eachother, creating access to
decision-making, none of the mexicans who
traveled the long distance were asked what
they thought should happen at this summit.
there was no mention of their very successful
strategies for organizing resistance to
destructive neo-colonial economic policies.
nobody asked "what can we do now that all of
our presidents are in town?" instead was the
same old, painfully ineffective naval-gazing
speaking with a gentleman from mexico after
the looooong winded sessions were over, he
asked what the break-out group of americans
discussed, and i said they were just talking
and not saying much, like americans do. and
he laughed, agreeing said i should have been
sitting with the mexican delegation because
they were discussing that very
point.
