State of the Union demonstrations Congress Avenue Bridge and City Hall 5 - 6:30 pm: Austin Against War is initiating a demonstration against the Iraq war to coincide with the State of the Union address. The protest will be from 5 - 6:30 p.m. on the sidewalks of the Congress Avenue Bridge. 7 pm: Local organizers involved with World Can't Wait will have a rally at the Austin City Hall with music from Alejandro Escovedo, Sumner Erickson/Texcentrics, and Funk Shui. More details: http://www.thirdcoastactivist.org/events.html ================... February 1 (Wed) 7:00 pm Robert Jensen at Book People Heart of Whiteness: Confronting Race, Racism and White Privilege The Heart of Whiteness offers an honest and rigorous exploration of what Robert Jensen (a UT Journalism professor and Third Coast Activist Resource Center board member) refers to as the depraved nature of whiteness in the United States. Mixing personal experience with data and theory, he faces down the difficult realities of racism and white privilege. He argues that any system that denies non-whites their full humanity also keeps whites from fully accessing their own. Jensen's book is both a cautionary tale for those who believe that they have transcended racism, and also an expression of the hope for genuine transcendence. When white people fully understand and accept the painful reality that they are indeed "the problem," it should lead toward serious attempts to change one's own life and join with others to change society. where: Book People, 603 N.

In his state of the union address, president gasbag bush said "We're winning the war on terror..." When you consider that: 1) 300 thousand million (billion) US dollars have been lost in the Bush regime's illegal, deception based, bloody invasion of Iraq; 2) that more than 2200 American boys & about 100,000 Iraqis have been killed, plus approx. ten times those numbers crippled for life; 3) the fact that anarchy is everywhere in Iraq, and that things have never been worse for the Iraqi people - most of whom want the American troops to get the hell out of their country; 4) and that the Bush regime has pissed on both constitutional law, and international law --- One might wonder what the hell could Bush be thinking. The answer is the "we" that he's referring to are the bastards who rule the defense & oil corporations who get huge chunks of those hundreds of billions and want to see Iraq colonized. Them & the bastards in the pentagon - who want perpetual war - the miserable wretches are in their own sick & perverted way, 'winning' . They are getting exactly what they want - more money and more power. Of course their money is soaked in blood, but they don't care about that. The 'Goliath' that they represent will most certainly fail miserably - and when it does, all the king's horses & all of their goofy men, won't be able to get their sorry asses up & in power again. The fools in power in the white house and pentagon think the solutions that have worked in the past should also work in the present. They are grossly mistaken. The time worn solutions of lying, killing, cheating, stealing, bombing, conquering and dividing and lying about it all, will not work any more, nor will those methods work in the future. The average American citizen is far more honest, decent, and respectable than most of the present national politicians - with their blood soaked hands. Politicians who think that their job is to serve the super rich, while exploiting the poor and ignorant, who think they are destined to rule the people, to act as if they were the people's masters, will fail miserably. This will increasingly be the case as time goes on. The time has come for the politicians to serve the people, to stand for peace & justice. Only the politicians who want to be servants of the people will succeed. Very soon, we'll be forever free from warmongering bastards and the wars and misery that the unbridled lust for more money and power that they represent, creates. ------------ "The media is the most powerful entity on earth. They have the power to make the innocent [the Iraqi people look] guilty and to make the guilty [Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld look] innocent, and that's power. Because they control the minds of the masses." Malcolm X ========================== The US mainstream news media are the megaphones of a private club of insanely greedly billionaires. Their top priority is to amass more and more wealth and to maintain the old order, where the rich get richer and the peasants get pissed upon. They love money more than anything else and don't mind a bit, if it's soaked in the blood of children and women. They can not be trusted. To find the truth people must turn to alternative news sources. We need the truth, because it is what will set us free - from warmongering bastards like Bush, Cheney, & Rumsfeld. Some good sources for news and views: http://AlterNet.org http://Anti-War.com http://www.BlackCommentator.com http://Caracasnews.com http://www.CommonDreams.org http://www.DemocracyNow.org http://www.Independent.co.uk http://www.TruthOut.org http://UnitedforPeace.org http://veteransforpeace.org ======================= "they could be made to accept the most flagrant vilations of reality... and were not sufficiently interested in public events to notice what was happening." George Orwell - "1984" ======== "Man must change or die. There is no other course." The World Teacher http://www.Share-International.org ======== Two great ways to fight terrorism: http://www.ImpeachBush.org fight poverty: http://www.One.org ======= x xx xxx It's time for the power to pass out of the hands of tyrannical blood suckers, and into the hands of the people. Bush is a miserable failure and so are ALL the politicians who support his wicked ways. http://www.ImpeachBush.org Please share this information and all other information that can help people wake up,- who are sick and tired of president gasbag - bush and his gang of psycho gasbags.

In the last few years, Bush has got the blood of about a million people on his filthy nasty hands. That figure includes those who've been crippled for life, all so that some of his outrageously sleazy bastard friends can gather up more bloody money! The Bush regime has earned it's place in world history, right next to other genocidal, highly deceptive lunatic groups, like the Hitler regime. And that's just fine with the bozo patriots - who equate it all with a ball game, and stupidly cheer their misleaders. "Our side - right or wrong. Raah Raah--- We don't bother to think about it, our great leaders Dick & Dubya do that for us." The USA has almost hit rock bottom. I anxiously await the total collapse of the gambling casinos - that they call stock markets. When it crashes, it will be a good thing. From the ashes, a new economic system that serves the people will be built. From the ashes, a new world will be built, a world where war, unbridled greed, corrupt politicians, abject poverty and needless hunger have no place. That's much more than a dream.

It is very stupid of us to let bastards like Bush,Cheney & Rumsfeld strut around, when they should be confined in steel and concrete cages - and maybe in charge of keeping the prison toilets clean.
