Because of City Councilman Adam McFadden's courageous stand on behalf of the local Black Community, and his stand against individual and institutional racism and police brutality --- an Alexander Street bar owner and reported white supremacist, Ronnie Davis and his allies are engaging in conscious, systematic, calculated, coordinated efforts to destroy Councilman McFadden's political career.

Americans would do well to listen to listen to thousands of Ukrainians protesting a stolen election, even though they’re shouting in a foreign tongue and it would likely be hard to literally understand them but the message should still be able to be discerned anyway.
COAST TO COAST - AMERICANS ARE PROTESTING
Recently, I was involved in a project that required a visit to every
Independent Media Center in the country. I learned of an enormous
movement happening across the United States that literally astounded

Local Groups Call for EMERGENCY RALLY Against the US Attack on Fallujah
Bush won the election and now he is on the rampage. Fallujah, a
city in Iraq about the size of Rochester, is a hotbed of resistance to
the US occupation. Earlier this year, the resistance kicked US troops
out of the city. Now, as punishment for the people of Fallujah's
defiance, the US is trying to recapture their city. American planes
bombed Fallujah every single day for weeks. Now, 10,000 Marines are
fighting Fallujah's residents in the most intense urban combat since
the Vietnam War. In the re-invasion, the US destroyed a hospital and
killed countless numbers of people. Bush won't stop there--the US
wants to use Fallujah as an example, and take back all of the cities
that the occupation has lost control of.

Less-Than-Lethal?
PepperBall guns, Bean Bag Projectiles and Tasers, seem to be a good idea at first. They have been used to take down knife wielding hostage holders and neutralize would be suicide victims all over the country. They give officers a chance to leave their guns in the holster and defuse dangerous situations without killing.

Declaration in Support of the Indymedia Network and Against the Seizure of its Servers
On 7 October, 2004, hard drives from two Indymedia servers were seized from the London office of a US-owned web hosting company, Rackspace, at the request of the US Justice Department, apparently in collaboration with Italian and Swiss authorities.
The seizure of the hard drives in London shut down an Indymedia radio station and around 20 different Indymedia websites including those serving Ambazonia, Uruguay, Andorra, Poland, Western Massachusetts, Nice, Nantes, Lilles, Marseille, Euskal Herria (Basque Country), Liege, East and West Vlaanderen, Antwerpen, Belgrade, Portugal, Prague, Galiza, Italy, Brazil, UK, and parts of Germany Indymedia.
Although the hard drives were returned on October 13, the particular legal framework under which the seizures took place is unknown. One week after the seizures there is still an almost total information blackout from the authorities in the UK, US, Switzerland and Italy. Indymedia still has no confirmation of who ordered the seizures, who took the hard drives, why the seizures took place, or whether it will happen again.
In response, people all over the world have endorsed the following Declaration:
