Police target anti-racist activists in Baltimore, Fascists hold hate concert in White Marsh Baltimore city police have visited several locations in Baltimore today, illegally searching one and detaining and photgraphing activists at another. These incidents occured as hundreds of anti-racists converged in Washington to confront white supremecists belonging to the National Alliance. 08/24 11:30 PM: About 25 community members who live near the armory have come out of their houses and are standing with the activists. One woman from the neighbourhood verbally confronted a cop demanding to know why there are Nazis in her neighbourhood. The community members and activists have been asked to move by the police possibly to facilitate the concert attendees departing without incidents. At last count there were 14 police cars, two fbi vehicles, and one secret service vehicle on the scene. 08/24 10:45 PM: Two activists are across the street from the armory, facing down close to a hundred riot police, fbi agents, and secret service. An fbi agent asked for an ID from one activist, saying that "we had problems earlier with nazis being attacked." There is also a police helicopter circling the area with a spotlight. A few local residents have also been coaxed out of their houses. The protesters at the scene have asked for others to join them. directions: "The nazi concert is in white marsh, not Towson. WhiteMarsh is 10 minutes away from Towson. From DC take 95 North to 695 West to Towson Exit 32B, Rt 1/North Belair Left at the second traffic light onto Rossville go to Putt....Ave, the Armory is there." 08/24 10:15 PM: Fox 45 reported the travel plava incident as a "fight between two neo-nazi groups." A call to the station revealed the source for this: Baltimore City Police Lt. Harris, of the Center for Public information. 08/24 9:45 PM: In the armory in White Marsh, 16 police cars and two paddy wagons are outside of the nazi show. One media van is also there, and music is definitely playing inside the armory. About 20 cars are parked in the front, possibly more in the back. Also, food not bombs is at the booking center. External links: Pictures of Armory 08/24 9:30 PM: There are about 15 people outside Baltimore central booking demonstrating solidarity with the arrested activists. Support is still needed, as those there are fearing arrest or other action by Baltimore police. Central booking is located at 300 E. Madison Street in downtown baltimore. External links: Baltimore IMC feature: The Horrific Conditions Of The Baltimore City Detention Center For Women 08/24 8:45 PM: The 30 activists arrested in Baltimore are being held in central booking. Jail solidarity is needed there. 08/24 8:45 PM: Apparently everyone has left the PAC without incident. It is not clear if police are still there. There is a Hate concert occuring in White Marsh at a National Guard armory, with police and news media on the scene. Attendence at the concert is apparently minimal. 08/24 8:00 PM: Plain-clothes police detectives have sorrounded the Progressive Action Center and are photographing and documenting activists and their cars. Several people were detained outside, two apparently at gunpoint, and their ID's taken and documented by the police. No one is being arrested or detained, but police remain outside. 08/24 7:00 PM: Police visited a local community/activist space, apparently telling one resident that they were "there for your own good." The officers entered the space with no warrant, even after a resident told them that they did not have permission to enter, and performed a plain-view search of the building. 08/24 5:00 PM: According to accounts, about 700 anti-racists were in DC compared to about 500 racists. Numerous confrontations occurred. For more info, check dc IMC. http://baltimoreimc.org/

The Demon-Haunted World.
by Matthew X 25 Aug '02

25 Aug '02

"I worry that, especially as the Millennium edges near, pseudoscience and superstition will seem year by year more tempting, the siren song of unreason more sonorous and attractive. Where have we heard it before? Whenever our ethnic or national prejudices are aroused, in times of scarcity, during challenges to national self-esteem or nerve, when we agonize about our diminished cosmic place and purpose, or when fanaticism is bubbling up around us - then, habits of thought familiar from ages past reach for the controls. The candle flame gutters. Its little pool of light trembles. Darkness gathers. The demons begin to stir." I began making a list of quotes from the book as I was reading it (a few of which you can find on this page), but I soon realized that I would be copying about half of the book in so doing. I gave up that task and just went on reading. This book should be on everyone's shelf. It should be required reading before kids can graduate from high school (and for adults before they decide to raise their children up in any given religion). Sagan does a masterful job of explaining what science is and what it isn't. He clearly shows that the wonders of science are just as interesting (and far more reliable) than the wonders of other disciplines which rely on tradition, superstition, myth, or ignorance. The chapters range in content from debunking UFO and alien abduction stories to calling for a higher realm of ethics for those who are scientists. In between are a couple dozen chapters that touch on a variety of issues that everyone should appreciate. The book is devoted to ridding the world of non-existant demons and allowing us all to experience more light and knowledge. Especially useful to kids and to adults who haven't let go of superstition is Sagan's baloney detection tool kit. Given the current widely held beliefs (regarding UFOs, the face on Mars, an afterlife, religion, etc.) that are on the rise due, in part, to the soon ending of the century, this tool kit should be implemented by all people to help see the light of day rather than the darkness and ignorance that seems to loom in the minds of so many. Sagan is practically prophetic with regard to the recent case of the Heaven's Gate cult. Go find this book, and read it so you too can enjoy a life "obsessed with reality". Sagan's book ends with this reminder: "If we can't think for ourselves, if we're unwilling to question authority, then we're just putty in the hands of those in power. But if the citizens are educated and form their own opinions, then those in power work for us. In every country, we should be teaching our children the scientific method and the reasons for a Bill of Rights. With it comes a certain decency, humility and community spirit. In the demon-haunted world that we inhabit by virtue of being human, this may be all that stands between us and the enveloping darkness." http://www.2think.org/dhw.shtml

MORE FORESTS LESS BUSH!
by Matthew X 25 Aug '02

25 Aug '02

http://www.infoshop.org/inews/stories.php?story=02/08/24/0873054 Americans losing faith in Bush on Iraq Matthew Engel Saturday August 24, 2002 The Guardian President George Bush found himself dealing with an unaccustomed degree of dissent yesterday with the publication of a poll showing growing opposition to an invasion of Iraq and a near-riot outside the hotel in Oregon where he was speaking. The poll results, showing a bare majority of Americans in favour of using ground troops to attack Iraq, were published after the Portland police used pepper spray to break up a demonstration outside the site of a Republican party fundraising rally. About 500 protesters were ordered to move after they pushed down a barricade. Riot police moved in, using the aerosol sprays and pushing the protesters with batons. The protest, a rarity on this scale in American cities in the past 20 years, was held after Mr Bush announced his new plan to loosen controls on logging in national forests. The demonstrators were protesting against this policy and the plan to invade Iraq. Some carried placards saying "Drop Bush, Not Bombs". There were five arrests. Electorally, Oregon is one of the most closely contested states in the country, but Portland is a famously liberal city with a strong contingent of activists and ageing hippies - Mr Bush's father used to refer to it, oddly, as "Little Beirut" - and the demonstration does not necessarily signal a return to more combative times in more typical American cities. None the less, yesterday's events were the most visible sign of angry dissent in the US since the initial post-September 11 activism on some campuses was drowned by the tidal wave of patriotism. The poll, published in USA Today, showed 53% of Americans answering yes to the question "Should ground troops be sent to the Persian Gulf to remove Saddam Hussein from power? and 41% against. This contrasts with the majority of 61-31 when the question was asked two months ago and 74-20 in November. Some analysts believe this is still provides a satisfactory base on which to swing support behind the president, as is traditional when war actually breaks out. The poll also showed that 94% believe that President Saddam either has weapons of mass destruction or is developing them, 86% believe he is supporting terrorist groups intending to attack the US, and 53% believe he was involved in the September 11 attacks. The president's own popularity rating is now 65%, still strong but no longer sensational. But there are growing signs of White House frustration with its inability to take command of the Iraq argument. The president's normally imperturbable spokesman, Ari Fleischer, has attacked reporters for being obsessed with the subject in their coverage of Mr Bush's meeting with his defence team in Texas on Wednesday. "It reached an absurd point of self-inflicted silliness that goes beyond the usual August hype," he said. "There have been meetings about Iraq in the past, there will be meetings about Iraq in the future." This one, he said, was not such a meeting, "and the press didn't care". He added: "The president's opinion is the press looks silly." This sort of attack suggests that Mr Fleischer's own iron grip on Washington news management is beginning to falter. Given the conflicting signals about Iraq coming from the administration, his job is certainly getting harder, and his line has to jostle increasingly with contrary voices. The latest comes from Madeleine Albright, Bill Clinton's secretary of state, who told the News Hour programme that Iraq was "not a direct threat to the United States" and that sanctions were effectively containing President Saddam. http://www.guardian.co.uk/usa/story/0,12271,779999,00.html

URGENT HELP NEEDED LEGAL-BAIL BALTIMORE BUSTS!
by Matthew X 25 Aug '02

25 Aug '02

In Baltimore, during an anti-fascist action this morning (at a gathering point for nazis heading off to Washington DC), about 30-40 individuals were arrested. Of those, we have confirmation that 6 are from NEFAC (4 from Boston, 2 from Baltimore), 1 from Claustrophobia, plus an undetermined number of people from Anti-Racist Action. Although it is unclear who is being charged with what, overall the charges are reported to include aggravated assault, disorderly conduct, concealed weapon, and property destruction. All felonies. Once more details are sorted out, we will post information on how people can donate financial contributions towards bail for the arrests. < Secret court rebuffs Ashcroft : Justice Dept. chided on misinformation | Washington, DC: National Alliance Rally a Huge Bust > walking revolution writes on Saturday August 24 2002 @ 03:06PM PDT: [ reply | parent ] why dont you go arrest soem nazi's you fucking pigs! leave our comrades alone!

It's uncomfirmed, but there are no known arrests. At the Progressive Action Center, the cops arrived and wanted to enter. They did not have a warrant, and were not permitted to enter. They said that they had a video from this morning's altercations at the Baltimore Travel Plaza and wanted to ID people to see if they could match up people at the PAC with faces in the video. Also at the PAC this evening, cops pointed a gun at members from one of the midwest ARA groups (cleveland or columbus?) and detained them for questioning. no known arrests, and they have been released. The press was called, and a member of ARA Columbus and a local Baltimore activist gave interviews to ABC news. The white power show is still going forward tonight at a National Guard Armory. Eastern Hammerskins are providing security. Any organized ARA response to the show is unkown. Of the individuals arrested this morning, no one has been charged with anything as of yet, even though many rumors are flying around. Still 6 confirmed from NEFAC, 1 from Claustro. Again, a plea for legal support -- I will be sending cash tomorrow around noon and any financial help would be great. If anyone from other cities would like to send money on your own, contact me directly and i can tell you who to send the $ to. jt http://www.infoshop.org/inews/stories.php?story=02/08/24/0266383

Minister forced to resign,"too honest."
by Matthew X 25 Aug '02

25 Aug '02

http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/articleshow.asp?artid=20080935 Power minister Prabhu and Simple Simon SWAMINOMICS / SWAMINATHAN S ANKLESARIA AIYAR [ SUNDAY, AUGUST 25, 2002 12:01:02 AM ] Even cynics were shaken when Shiv Sena supremo Bal Thackeray ordered power minister Suresh Prabhu to resign on the ground that he was too honest. We are used to the notion that politicians should resign if caught extorting bribes. Never before has a minister been sacked on the ground that he did not make money at all, and so was unfit for high office. Many supporters of Prabhu moan that the power sector reforms he championed will now be shelved. In fact, his reforms were well-intentioned but too timid and half-baked to work. On assuming office, he found that State Electricity Boards (SEBs) owed an enormous sum of almost Rs 30,000 crore to various suppliers Coal India Ltd, the Railways, GAIL, BHEL, NTPC and others. This was more than the entire GDP of some countries. The suppliers levied penal interest of two per cent per month on overdues. But the SEBs ignored the penalties as blithely as the dues. For many years, some overdues were recovered by Central suppliers like CIL, NTPC and BHEL as deductions from Central Plan assistance to errant states. The Planning Commission said no more than 15 per cent of Plan assistance could be deducted in this manner. Soon, the states crossed the 15 per cent limit. After this, they suffered no additional penalty at all. At many official meetings, the states agreed to slash power subsidies for farmers and check theft. They then went back and did nothing, or even increased subsidies. This surely proved that commitments made by financial and moral bankrupts had no value. Yet Prabhu sought to solve the problem through a fresh set of commitments. He proposed a scheme whereby states that agreed to reform could convert their overdues into bonds.They would also be forgiven part of the penal interest, which they were not paying anyway. If after this, they still defaulted on fresh dues, these would be deducted from Central Plan assistance without any ceiling. He hoped this would induce states to pay all future dues. Only an honest man can be foolish enough to believe that rogues will reform so easily. The states will promise anything for a little cash, and then return to politics as usual.When so many cannot even pay staff salaries on time, could Prabhu seriously have believed they would suddenly start paying all future dues to suppliers? And if they failed to pay, could Prabhu have believed that the Central government would get tough with its own coalition partners who ran so many states? When I first talked to Prabhu on this subject, I said he was ignoring the obvious solution: cut off supplies to all the defaulting SEBs. After all the most elementary principle of commerce was No payment, no supply. Every child in kindergarten knows this from Mother Goose. Simple Simon met the pieman Going to the fair. Said Simple Simon to the pieman Let me taste your ware. Said the pieman to Simple Simon, Show me first your penny. Said Simple Simon to the pieman, Indeed, I havent any. Did the pieman keep supplying pies month after month, while levying imaginary penalties on Simple Simon? No, for he knew that to ignore default would be to induce further and further default. The same logic applies to the states. Prabhu told me I was being unrealistic. If he cut off supplies to the SEBs, he said, many states would be plunged into darkness, and there would be riots. You cannot treat this as just a commercial matter, he said, it has major political implications. But surely that is the problem. As long as the issue is treated as political, there is not the slightest reason for states to reform. If, because of politics, they can keep getting supplies without payment, why should they ever pay up? They will stop only if they find that they cannot get any coal from Coal India, any power from NTPC, any machinery from Bhel. Prabhu is afraid of riots. In fact, urban riots can be a solution. Often in the past, farmers have rioted against higher power rates, and forced politicians to lower these. State governments claim it is impossible to charge farmers realistic rates, impossible to sack corrupt linesman, impossible to stop power theft.But if supplies to the SEBs are cut off and irate citizens riot, the states will at last find it politically expedient to reform. They will at last find it politically feasible to raise rural tariffs, sack corrupt linesmen, and crack down on theft. By now, I think Prabhu must have realised a fundamental truth. A polity that cannot stomach an honest power minister also cannot stomach the thought of paying its debts honourably. Only when it is forced to bear the full consequences of non-payment, will it pay up.

Despicable nazis,SA style.

BUENOS AIRES, Argentina (August 24, 2002 2:02 p.m. EDT) - Argentina has emerged as the location of choice for Web sites set up by the world's ultra-nationalist and neo-Nazi political groups. In recent years, race-hate groups in Europe and in other Latin American countries have come under increasing pressure to curtail their online activities. Authorities have dismantled some extremist sites, or pressured Web-hosting companies to close sites temporarily for posting offensive or illegal content. Neo-Nazi groups experience few such problems in Argentina. Aided by inexpensive high-speed Internet access and an outdated anti-discrimination law, race-hate groups from all over the Spanish-speaking world are making Argentina their virtual home base. "The late 1990s saw the re-birth of neo-Nazi groups in Argentina, both in the real world and on the Internet," says Sergio Widder, Latin America representative for the Simon Wiesenthal Center, a Jewish human rights organization. "The ultra-right in Argentina is using the Internet to help create a neo-Nazi network in Latin America." According to the Wiesenthal Center, the number of sites worldwide it deems "problematic" has grown to 3,000 today from one in 1995. Specific numbers for Argentina were unavailable. The highest-profile site in Argentina is City of Freedom of Opinion, run by the neo-Nazi New Triumph Party (PNT). Its leader, Alejandro Biondini, appears at public meetings in SS-style uniforms, giving the Nazi salute. Set up as a modest online newspaper in 1997, the site has since mushroomed into a much-visited portal connecting more than 300 extreme right-wing groups in Europe and Latin America. The site, in Spanish and other languages, boasts a news agency and a bulletin board for neo-Nazis. The PNT offers free e-mail and Web-hosting services for race-hate groups around the world. On the site, the PNT says it specifically offers hosting facilities to extremist groups whose Web sites have been prohibited or whose activities have been curtailed in other jurisdictions. The portal allowed neo-Nazi groups from Argentina, Brazil, Chile, and Uruguay to plan a congress in April 2000, to be held in Chile on the anniversary of Adolf Hitler's birthday. The Chilean authorities eventually banned the meeting. Numerous other Argentine race-hate and ultra-nationalist sites provide a regular channel of contact for extremists in Chile, Uruguay, Brazil and Europe. Many glorify Germany's Nazi Party and Italy's fascism, championing the country's European roots, and lashing out against drug addicts, Marxists, Jews, and homosexuals. One site, True Peace, set up by Carlos Torlaschi, president of the Group of Retired Admirals of Argentina, celebrates the military and police officers who killed some 30,000 Argentine citizens during Argentina's 1976-83 "dirty war" against suspected leftists. Argentina is an ideal online location for many extremist groups. Despite the country's profound economic slump, Internet penetration remains one of the highest in Latin America, and super-fast Internet access is widely available. Both factors are a legacy of the decade in which Argentina's currency was fixed at parity with the U.S. dollar, making the import and use of technology inexpensive for Argentines. But since currency devaluation in January, the peso has plummeted by some 70 percent against the dollar, making Argentina a cheap place for foreign groups to set up hosting facilities. Furthermore, a 1997 decree issued by then-President Carlos Menem explicitly stated the government's refusal to interfere with production, creation, and dissemination of information distributed on the Internet. The decree guaranteed Web sites freedom from censorship. Anti-discrimination advocates have found it impossible to use the country's anti-discrimination law, passed in 1988, as it does not cover Internet publication. "We could try to act against the companies hosting these sites, but the legislation just isn't there to take action against them," says Adrian Jmelnizky, who investigates racial abuse cases for Argentina's National Institute Against Discrimination, Xenophobia, and Racism. "Internet use is beyond the scope of the anti-discrimination law and there are no initiatives to change that at present." As a result, ultra-right groups locating their sites in Argentina avoid the need to locate servers offshore, or to hide domain names behind a maze of sites located in unhelpful jurisdictions. Police, already overburdened by a wave of kidnappings and a general rise in violent crime, say they have little time to monitor Web sites for incendiary content. Despite the growing visibility of Argentina's far-right groups on the Internet, analysts say their fortunes remain stagnant in the real world. Unlike European far-right groups in places such as the Netherlands, which have exploited economic dissatisfaction to recruit a new generation of supporters that have made an impact in open elections, extremists in Argentina, a country founded on immigration, remain marginalized in the political arena. Argentine authorities appear unconcerned at their activities. "Our intelligence reports do not indicate that the extreme right is very active," says President Eduardo Duhalde's spokesman, Eduardo Amadeo. "They keep talking about racial issues, and anti-Semitism has never been a vote-winner in Argentina."

Warning about false anarchist group by W. Johnson ABC-I Saturday August 24, 2002 at 11:28 PM ABC Warning about false "anarchist" ochlarchy group ZABALAZA/ABH in SA ANARCHIST BLACK CROSS INTERNATIONAL --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Warning about ochlarchy-groups in South Africa falsely posing as 'anarchists', supporting muslim terrorist point of views, introducing small group vanguard selfstyled "class war" pseudorevolutionary "anarchism", falsely calling Carlo Giuliani "anarchist", promoting marxian communist propaganda as good literature, mixing up anarchism with authoritarian stuff, falsely posing as anarchist youth using the @-sign, etc. of course linking up pseudoanarchist marxian "libertarian" groups, including the Israeli arab 'newage' prophet and thief Ilan Shalif's stalinist "A-infos", a title and copyrighted material stolen from AIIS-IFA-AI/former FAF/IFA-paper. The groups are called Zabalaza books and paper; "revolutionary" anarchism, Anarchist Black Hammer, a.s.o. This is a) the usual marxian/authoritarian bullshit, to put up a small violent "vanguard", "class war" group to provoke and make chaos, ochlarchy, and terror, - throw shit on the idea of freedom in general and anarchy in particular, scare the people at large, and thus prepare the ground for "strong rule" for the commie party or even worse, b) it may just be put up by the police/fascists to promote a fascist police state, similar to Berlusconi's dirty tricks in Genoa, (click on http://www.anarchy.no/apt.html and search for Genoa in file for more info.) We denounce these groups in advance, as we are certain they will play the anarchist movement the usual trick and game of ochlarchy. Furthermore, we must ask the newsmedia to report about this authoritarian shit as provokers and ochlarchy-groups, and not anarchists and anarchy, if they still are up to something "big" after this denouncing of them. The use of the so called Scandinavian "Hammer" denouncing the cross in ABC as the " Anarchist Black Hammer" group do, is very strange. This is so because all ABC groups in Scandinavia call themselves ABC-groups and not ABH. "Hammer" groups are typically neonazis and/or Odin/Tor whorshipping persons, sometimes falsely poing as 'anarchists'. Furthermore ABC-groups are only helping libertarian political prisoners, not criminals and terrorists and diffuse "class war prisoners". And no ABC group is opposed to prisons for terrorists, mafia etc. This stinks like some muslim and/or fascist infiltration, similar to nazis supporting Saddam Hussein. Behind these groups are a man called "Mike Schmidt". Anarchist greetings from W. Johnson ABC-I ABC-International www.anarchy.no/ai.html http://southafrica.indymedia.org/news/2002/08/1727.php
