Got a facebook account? Posted by Marek Vermin on April 7th, 2007

Then watch this. We are basically helping to build the world’s largest surveillance database through all of this myspace, facebook, etc. junk. We shouldn’t have to hide, especially since these are powerful tools for discourse and we can use them for that, just be mindful of what data you post and what you are willing to stand up for if (or when) a major shitshow happens.

Another trade agreement to fight! (TILMA) Posted by Marek Vermin on April 5th, 2007

So, here we are again. Another trade agreement that attempts to secure profit as a holy sacrament: a prima facie fact that all other truths emerge from. Those that make these decisions are well aware that the notion of profit first is under severe scrutiny everywhere as the cost of living continues to rise and real wages fall, all while profits continue to climb until they reach completely unattainable and unsustainable levels. The last nail has been driven into the coffin of Henry Ford and the rise of the middle class is over. All that is left of his dream is the little myth that unlimited growth is possible. But even giants can only grow so tall before they can’t sustain themselves, and all that the ideology of neo-liberalism can do is attempt to force the continued deterioration of the social services that made capitalism somewhat tolerable in the first place. Every time a trade barrier goes down, it is always coupled in these forms of legislation by renewed vigor to restrict any future act of public will. That is why it is important to recognize what we are seeing and act before it’s too late.

Repost – Report from POG in Oaxaca Posted by Marek Vermin on November 2nd, 2006

This is a re-post:
A Second Reportback from Two Members of Pittsburgh Organizing Group (POG) in Oaxaca

This part of Santa Lucia is enemy territory. It is near Barricade Three, the Príista attack, and the site of Brad Will’s murder. It’s also where the CIPO house is located. When the Príistas set up their barricades, some were directly in front of the CIPO house, one using materials that had been propped up against the outside wall. As such, we were unable to return to CIPO following the PRI attack, so we stayed with another compañero’s family for the night. It’s hard to describe our exact feelings and spirits on Saturday. Partly numb, partly angry, partly sad, partly furious, partly anxious, partly outraged, and partly uncertain about what the day would have in store.
