On Saturday, March 1, 2008 from 4-6pm, ConspiraZine features Russ Dizdar, author of the alarming and controversial book, The Black Awakening. Russ talks about the creation of cult programmed multiple personality sleepers or satanic super soldiers who are to be used for the New World Order agenda. Also presented is a narrative on gang or group stalking, which is a form of surveillance and harassment upon targeted individuals. We conclude with Clifford Carnicom discussing the devastating biological effects from chemtrails. ConspiraZine can be heard on Free Radio Olympia at 98.5 FM or via mp3 stream at www.frolympia.org. ConspiraZine - more conspiracy, less theory!

We all did the racism IAT and had some good conversation around it. Here's one for presidential candidates. This could be interesting. Take it and post your results in the comments.

Almost every week this is the "What's on the city council's plate this week" review. I don't cover everything, so if you want the full rundown, read the packet and agenda yourself. Nothing much in the packet this week (maybe something about a "water plan" that I'll write about later, but it looks pretty daunting), except a little note from the "Committee of the Chairs" meeting on Tuesday night at 5p (report @ scribd):
It looks like they don't have anything to talk to us about. So, outside of sea leve rise, can anyone think of anything else they'd like to talk to the city council about?

In the past six months we have heard much discussion on Congressman Brian Baird and his public support for the “surge” military strategy in Iraq. Many people have disagreed with his decision and some accuse him of not appropriately representing his constituents. Well, it looks like the question “Is Congressman Baird representing the citizens of the 3rd Congressional District?” will get it’s real test this summer and fall. Ms. Cheryl A. Crist is challenging Congressman Baird for the Democratic nomination for the 3rd Congressional. On her campaign website, she lists her positions on a number of issues including:

This report says that we are the biggest police state in the world. It also points at systemic racism. Link.

David Smith-Ferri is a writer who has published a collection of poems about his experiences traveling in Iraq. He has traveled to Iraq with Voices in the Wilderness, as well as other organizations, in order to bring some measure of relief to people who are suffering.
» Last night he was in Olympia. The Olympia FOR sponsored a speaking engagement at the Artisan's cafe. David read several poems and told many stories about his experience working with wounded Iraqi refugees, both in Iraq itself and in neighboring countries (Jordan mostly). The proceeds from his book, Battlefield Without Borders: Iraq Poems, are going to help with the Direct Aid Initiative (DAI), which serves Iraqi families who have extreme unmet medical needs. $12 from the sale of his book goes toward DAI, while Mr. Smith-Ferri keeps only $2 of the total. You can find out more about DAI, and make a secure online contribution by visiting www.electroniciraq.net. [read more..."if you can heal my child, please take him with you..." ]
