2004, no racist war!

I just saw that the portland indymedia website ( http://portland.indymedia.org )has the Day X video up. I've seen it before, I think it was last year. Well now it's almost a fucking year later, and there are still a lot of starving people, and the Coalition authorities are brutual occupiers, and people are still dying. The situation in that country is deteriorating to the brink of civil war. The promise of representative democracy is one that is full of shit. Many Ba'athist leaders are being brought back into positions of power and the governing council and coalition authorities crack down on dissent and unionizing. The rich in that country and this country are benefiting, while the poor are getting fucked. The point of all this is that the anniversary of the war is coming up, and on that day we're going to make sure that the people in countrol (republocrats and demonocans) know that we haven't forgotten their war of aggression and it's costs. Bring the war home!

On a similar note, the election circus is gearing up again for another fruadulent disply of power. Kerry will probably win the election bid, but even if he doesn't Edwards toes the same line. As a matter of fact, the don't differ significantly from Bush in any important respects. Are we the kind of people that really care about the disingenous promises from politicians anyway? If you go to www.dontjustvote.com you will see a really great anarchist project that is gearing up. "If voting changed anything they'd make it illegal (that goes with not voting, as well)." It's something that I've been trying to work with individually for a couple of months now but now that this site is up I can network will other people who realize the futility of voting and want to create decentralized power and mutual aid.

Why waste our time in bourgeois politics (that goes for the Green PARTY) when our movement is starting to heat up? The "left" demonocrats promise benevolence but stab us in the back again and again and again. Look at JFK, look at Clinton, loot at Wilson, FDR, Truman, and others. Why vote on people to make decisions for us when we can vote on decision making? We must challenge their power while creating our own. Voting/not-voting just isn't enough.

I'm going to FNB, respond to this and we'll try to come to a better understanding.
