Edward Pinkney tells a gathering at Silicon Valley DeBug, "My city was taken over by a dictator." Michigan's Public Act 4 allows the state to send a non-elected appointee to take over a city, displacing the mayor and other officials. Pinkney traces the action to a struggle over lakefront land coveted by Whirlpool Corporation for commercial development. He warns, "The Emergency Financial Manager is coming to your town!" Rev. Pinkney's talk was sponsored by Silicon Valley DeBug, CHAM Deliverance Ministry, San Jose Silicon Valley NAACP, United Food and Commercial Workers Local 5 and UNITE-HERE Local 19

* SEIU 1021 calls out dishonesty of pension 'reformers': The following response by Tom Popenuck, SEIU 1021's North Coast regional vice president, and Lisa Maldonado, executive director of the North Bay Labor Council, appeared in Tuesday's Press Democrat (Santa Rosa), a monopolist newspaper (Read the full response at the "Press Democrat" newspaper, headlined "Close to Home: Chuck Reed's pension cuts bad for everyone" at [link]): "The Press Democrat's recent story on San Jose Mayor Chuck Reed's visit to Santa Rosa (“San Jose mayor Reed pitches pension changes,” Feb. 27 [link]) and the accompanying editorial (“The dangers of ignoring San Jose mayor,” March 2 [link]) simply regurgitate the same myths and mistruths the anti-pension crusaders have been propagating for the past five years. ...  But besides the manipulative dishonesty of the anti-pensioners, one has to ask if Reed's plan is good policy for our communities. Poverty among seniors is already a moral and humanitarian problem, but it also is a drag on the economy and requires local governments to spend more social services. ... So why would we support unnecessary, mean-spirited policies that end up hurting everyone? Instead we should be looking to increase retirement security policies that make for healthier communities and vibrant local economies."

* "Schools Industry Council: Hundreds discuss building workplace power, improving public education", 2014-03-11 from "1021 Newswire": On March 8, hundreds of classified employees of school districts from San Francisco to Sacramento to Santa Rosa flocked to Napa Valley College for the annual Schools Industry Council Summit. SEIU 1021 officers and staff leaders addressed the fights and struggles facing not only employees of public schools, but also 1021 members and public sector workers across the Bay Area.
Members discussed the victory of Proposition 30, the ongoing fight for adequate funding for all the services that make public schools successful, and new tensions that have sprung up among administration, districts, teachers and classified employees in these days of budget cuts and austerity measures.
Participants also heard about legislation, good and bad, to watch and advocate for or against in the coming months, as well as ways to bring these important issues to the attention of parents and other citizens in the community through personal social connections. They also took part in breakout sessions to discuss changes brought about by pension reform; the basics of contract negotiations; how to promote member engagement at the workplace; protecting health care benefits; and the new merit system for promotions.

"Help Raise Oakland Minimum Wage to $12.25 -
The Lift Up Oakland Campaign [LiftUpOakland.org], initiated by EBASE, ACCE, SEIU 1021, UNITE HERE 2850, UFCW Local 5, Bay Area ISO and others, aims to gather 30,000 signatures by the end of May to raise Oakland’s minimum wage to $12.25, with a measure on the November ballot, plus paid sick days and an automatic yearly cost of living adjustment, which would secure for the People of Oakland the highest minimum wage in the U.S., and an increase in local economic activity! Organizing a grassroots campaign to get it on the ballot and win the election builds a community-labor alliance that can fight for even more freedom for the People! Unions and community groups in San Francisco and Berkeley are also considering measures to raise the wage, but Oakland is taking the lead and we need your help to win.
For more information, contact [toddchretien@mac.com] of the Bay Area International Socialist Organization (ISO), who are Signature Gathering at Oakland's First Friday Art Walk, at their campaign tent on Telegraph near 25th Street. ISO adds, "We’ll have petitions, clip boards, buttons and campaign literature and we’ll pair you up with other activists to gather signatures, so don’t be shy.

* Save a life, Pardon Timothy Tyler -

Timothy Tyler, now 45 years old, was thrown in prison 22 years ago for selling a psychedelic to a friend who pressured him into it and happened to be a police informant. He's watched murderers and rapists leave prison while he has no chance of ever leaving, after being sentenced under a three-strike law for having prior marijuana arrests. Life sentences should only be distributed to violent offenders who are likely to harm others if released from prison. We should never have allowed our justice system to be bloated with nonviolent offenders. Clemency for Timothy, and Clemency for the other victims of the Drug War!
But there's hope! Obama has already pardoned 8 nonviolent drug offenders in his term. Obama has pardoned less prisoners than any other president in modern history, so let's be sure he hears how great of an injustice Timothy received. Timothy has more than paid any debt to society for his actions, 20 years after being thrown behind bars.

message from Petition by Carrie Tyler of Las Vegas, NV:
My brother Timothy Tyler was just 25 years old when he was sentenced to die in prison for a nonviolent drug offense. He's watched murderers and rapists leave prison while he has no chance of ever leaving. He is now 45 years old and I want to bring him home.
Timothy was a young Grateful Dead fan, who in May of 1992, sold pot and LSD to a friend who turned out to be a police informant. He had never been to prison before, but a judge was forced to give him double life without the possiblity of parole because of two prior drug convictions — even though both those convictions resulted in probation.
Life without the possibility of parole means my brother will never have a chance to live outside of prison walls. It's effectively a death sentence.
Tim made mistakes when he was young, but after 22 years in prison, he has more than paid his debt to society. He is not a threat to anyone. He wasn't given a chance to get clean and sober to think about the damage he was doing to his life. They locked him up and threw away the key.
But there's hope.
In December, President Obama granted clemency to 8 nonviolent drug offenders who were serving mandatory sentences for crack cocaine. And the Department of Justice recently asked for Bar Associations throughout the country to send them more clemency petitions for nonviolent drug offenders.
It costs $25,000 per year to keep my non-violent brother in prison for a mistake he made more than 20 years ago.  So far, that is over half a million dollars.  Not only is that not justice, but it's a waste of money.
I need your help to show them that Americans think Timothy has paid his debt to society and shouldn't be housed in a cage at the expense of taxpayers anymore. He should be granted clemency.

* "Bringing Home the Big Bucks in the Public Sector", 2014-03-14 from "NewsWeek"[http://mag.newsweek.com/2014/03/14/bringing-home-big-bucks-public-sector.html]: The Center for Media and Democracy issued a report last month titled "EXPOSED: America's Highest Paid Government Workers.*" That asterisk is to draw attention to the fact that the big bucks do not go to civil servants, but to executives at companies that derive all or most of their revenue from taxpayers. ... Visit the Center for Media and Democracy at: "ALEC Exposed" [alecexposed.org/wiki/ALEC_Exposed], "PR Watch" [prwatch.org], "Source Watch" [sourcewatch.org/index.php/SourceWatch].
Given all the news these days about public sector pay, three important questions to answer are: Which jobs funded by tax dollars pay the most? How much do they pay? And who holds those jobs? Let's start with teachers. Average teacher pay last school year was under $57,000, but the highest-paid educator the taxpayers support earned $9.5 million last year. Those big bucks went to Nathaniel A. Davis, the chief executive officer and chairman of the board of K12 Inc., which runs virtual privatized schools for taxpayers. What of garbage removal, the stinky work of burly men whose wages Martin Luther King Jr. was trying to get modestly increased back in 1968 when he was murdered in Memphis? These days, you can haul in $7.7 million a year in garbage. That big payday went to David Steiner, CEO of Waste Management, who also owns about $59 million worth of stock in the company that contracts to pick up garbage for cities, towns and counties, but also has private-pay customers. And how about prison guards? Newspapers often run stories on how some guards rack up overtime to make more than $100,000 a year. But pay in this field can range as high as $6 million. That is what GEO Corporation paid CEO George Zoley in 2012. GEO operates jails and prisons with about 77,000 beds that, it boasts to shareholders, are occupied 96 percent of the time with inmates - adult and juvenile. These are but a few examples of how the privatization of local and state government services makes a few employees wildly rich. It is a very different set of facts from the meme that justified laws restricting the rights and pay of public sector workers in Michigan, Ohio, North Carolina, Wisconsin and other states where governors ran on a platform that public sector workers make too much money. Research by many scholars, notably Professor Paul C. Light of New York University and the Brookings Institution, has shown that privatization does not save taxpayer money. The total cost for federal contract employees averages twice that of what civil service workers cost; for military contractors, the figure is three times as much, Light showed from official pay data. Advocates for contract workers say they can be used on a temporary basis, making the long-term cost lower. But the data show the number of contract workers is growing, so while individuals may get laid off, more new ones get hired.
Evidence abounds that privatization has spawned abuse, fraud and waste, especially at companies paying the most. The for-profit education industry, for one, appears to be rife with fraud at every level, from kindergarten to college. The firm Davis heads, K12 Inc., has yet to show it is superior to public schools. In Kansas, the company's Lawrence Virtual High School posted a graduation rate last spring of 26.3 percent, compared to the 90.9 percent rate at the city's two public high schools. The local school board kicked out K12 management last month, but the company will collect its fee until June 30. Experienced teachers and education researchers, notably Diane Ravitch, have challenged its effectiveness and its secretive policies, including what it pays teachers and supervisors. Investors may also wonder about the firm. In the last four years K12 Inc. revenues, 86 percent of which come from taxpayers, grew more than three times faster than pretax profits, not a sign of financial health or skilled management. One hedge fund manager last fall called it a "horrible" company that fails investors and students. Given K12 Inc.'s management failures, why would any school board hire it? The answer may lie in its membership in the American Legislative Exchange Council, an association of self-proclaimed conservative state legislators who have an affinity for paying corporations to do taxpayer work. ...  These few examples, among many, raise a provocative question that taxpayers should put to their elected leaders: Why are we taxed to pay multimillion-dollar salaries to unaccountable executives for services that civil servants do for a fraction of the cost?

from the Committee for the Study of Fascism's World Fascism archive [link]:
* Fascism in the Republic of Honduras [link], a dictatorship created 2009 by USA which is worse than anything Cuba is claimed to have done... and this is not the only dictatorship created by the USA, as shown by the example of Haiti since the United States invasion and occupation of 2004, Colombia's death-squad regime subsidized by USA taxpayer dollars, and Mexico's Drug War fueled by our drug money, with each example showing the same process of fascism, featuring militerized police, capitalist militias and cocaine traffickers masquerading as politicians, with death-squads murdering thousands of so-called "leftists" every year!

* Celebrate 10 years of "Freedom" in Iraq!
From Haifa Zangana’s presentation to the European Parliament in Brussels, “US War Crimes: The Continuing Deterioration of Women’s Rights in Iraq”, 2014-01-29 [worldcantwait.net/index.php/features/iraq/8487-us-war-crimes-the-continuing-deterioration-of-women-s-rights-in-iraq]: “The regression in women’s situation is devastating. I will focus on violence in the public sphere and how it became so prominent that women have been forced to give up hard earned rights, such as employment, freedom of movement, abolition of polygamy, and the right to education and health services, seeking instead, protection for themselves and their families. The occupation of Iraq in 2003 left Iraqi women in a terrible state of regression on two interrelated levels. The first level is relevant to women as citizens in an environment that lacks guarantees and protection by a credible national criminal justice system embodying international standards. This subjects women as well as men to violations of their human rights. The second level is to do with gender-related violence in public which is particularly relevant during occupation, war and armed conflict, often providing the context for sexual abuse, rape, and trafficking of women and girls.”

* Ukraine: Target for fascist coup [link], containing links to articles, photographs, and analysis of the fascist political parties being aided by the USA State Dept.
Dmytro Yarosh, Deputy Secretary of the powerful National Defense and Security Council for the fascist government in western Ukraine, is the leader of the Right Sector militias, who were used by the USA State Department to kill "leftists", Russians, and other minorities within Ukraine's major cities during the coup against the democratically elected government of the more popular political parties. In a recent BBC video, Dmytro Yarosh said: “National-Socialist [Nazi] ideas are popular here. …
We want a clean nation, not like under Hitler, but a little bit like that.

Confederate flags and fascist symbols go up in Kiev City Hall, February, 2014, during the coup, displayed by the victorious Svodoba Party (flag on the right, with the hand), originally the National Socialist "Nazi" Party of the Ukraine, re-founded during the 1990s, to show their recognition for support by an international network of fascist parties, including those that survived World War 2 in the USA:


UKRAINE WAR ALERT: Say NO to another U.S. war!
Urgent call for anti-war actions March 10 to March 17! The threat is real. Sanctions, war build up, warships with guided missiles to the Black Sea, F-15 fighter jets on Russia's border are dangerous provocations. Washington has recognized and committed more than $10 billion to an illegal fascist government that seized power from elected officials.
Actions large and small are urgently needed -- informational picket lines, visits to congressional offices, protests at media centers against war propaganda, vigils, and challenges to government officials.
Let's make our voices heard. No new U.S. war! Stop media lies about Ukraine!
Actions have begun across the entire USA, for the entire list (updated 2014-03-12), scroll below on this page. Already, in NEW YORK CITY, there will be a march from CNN to Fox News! Happening Friday, March 14, 5 pm to 6 pm, there is a rally at CNN (Broadway & 59th St) then a march down Broadway to FOX News (49th St. & 6th Ave.), giving Manhattan a little media trouble as they break the blockade of censorship! For updates, visit their Facebook event page [facebook.com/events/226160010906938].

From the respected "International Action Center", organizers of the action in New York and elsewhere:
"UKRAINE: What the media isn't telling you"
Corporate media have always lied about the reasons for war, from Vietnam and Iraq to Libya and Syria. If you turn on CNN or FOX News, read the New York Times or listen to NPR, you aren't getting the real story. Here are 10 things the U.S. corporate media won't tell you about what's happening in Ukraine.

1. Washington planned the coup in Ukraine.
U.S. State Department official Victoria Nuland was caught on tape plotting who would be the next head of Ukraine. She bragged that the U.S. had spent $5 billion funding the so-called democracy movement there. Senator John McCain went to Kiev, spoke at rallies and was photographed with the leader of the fascist Svoboda party. Neo-Nazi forces took over buildings and threw out the elected government in a coup d'etat, then passed new laws with no quorum in the parliament.

2. There has been no Russian invasion.
Washington officials have threatened Russia for "invading" Ukraine. It's a Big Lie meant to cover up U.S. involvement in the coup. Russia has a military base in Crimea, a predominately Russian ethnic area, and is legally allowed to station up to 25,000 troops in the country. Russia has said it may act to protect civilians if they are threatened by the neo-Nazis in Kiev. That is all.

3. The U.S. war buildup. 
The Navy has deployed the USS Truxton, a warship armed with guided missiles, to the Black Sea. Six F-15 fighter jets and 60 military personnel have been sent to Lithuania, in addition to those already stationed there. The U.S. and EU are imposing sanctions and travel bans on Russian officials. Politicians from Hillary Clinton to John McCain have compared Russian President Vladimir Putin to Hitler. When preparing for war, the U.S. always uses this bogus comparison to demonize leaders of opponent countries.

4. Neo-Nazis dominate the new government.
The openly racist, anti-Semitic and pro-Hitler Svoboda party is one of three major parties in the government. Svoboda led the street actions that forced elected President Yanukovych to flee. The Right Sector, armed fascists who have beaten opponents and vandalized public property, are now in charge of the military. Immediately after the coup, Ukraine's chief rabbi, Moshe Reuven Azman, urged Jews to flee Kiev. The government's first act was to ban the use of Russian and other minority languages. Opponents of the coup have been beaten, disappeared, or had their offices and homes vandalized and burned.

5. Coup leaders hired snipers to justify their takeover.
A leaked call between Estonian and European Union officials reveals that people behind the new government hired snipers to kill protesters and police in Kiev. President Yanukovych was blamed for the killings and this was used to justify the coup.

6. Wall Street and Big Oil want to control Ukraine - and Russia.
Oil and gas pipelines in Ukraine bring fuel from Russia to Europe. Big Oil wants to control the pipelines to cut the flow from Russia and hike their own profits. The U.S. has even offered the new government gas from dangerous fracking drilling here! Russia is the world's largest producer of gas, oil and industrial minerals. They want to break up Russia too. Wall Street would love to get its claws deeper into Ukraine and Russia - to drive up profits and push down wages for workers here and there.

7. NATO's drive to expand.
As part of the Western drive to dismantle Russia, the Pentagon wants to establish military bases on the Ukraine/Russia border. The U.S. dominated NATO alliance has expanded aggressively into eastern Europe in the past 20 years, adding 12 countries to its roster so far. U.S./ NATO forces continue to occupy Afghanistan to the south.

8. Billions for coup in Ukraine, cuts for food stamps in U.S.
In early February, Congress and the Obama administration agreed to cut SNAP food assistance benefits for hungry families by $8.7 billion, claiming there's no money. Yet just weeks later, they announced $10 billion in assistance to the neo-Nazis in Kiev. Secretary of State John Kerry personally delivered the first billion on March 4.

9. Power for the 1%, misery for workers.
The new regime has appointed wealthy oligarchs as governors of rebellious regions of Eastern Ukraine. It's also agreed to an IMF austerity plan drafted by Washington to cut workers' pensions, unemployment insurance and social programs - just like the cutbacks workers from Detroit to Greece face.

10. People across Ukraine are fighting back.
People in Eastern Ukraine and throughout the country are organizing against the coup. Some have taken over regional and city buildings and refused to hand them over to the new authorities. Others are marching on military bases and demanding that the troops not obey the commands of the neo-Nazis in Kiev. Some are calling on the Russian government to protect and assist them. The people of Ukraine remember well what Nazi rule was like during World War II, and they will not stand for it again.

Fight Fascism! Never Again!
NOT ANOTHER WAR!
Across the U.S., anti-war activists, low-wage workers and community members are beginning to mobilize to counter the latest U.S. war moves against Russia and express outrage at the campaign of disinformation emanating from Washington and corporate media outlets about recent events in Ukraine.
In response to a call to action from the International Action Center, actions are planned in more than a dozen cities, and we are learning about new events every day (see list below).
Many of these actions will also oppose the dangerous U.S. support and funding for extreme right-wing attacks and economic destabilization against elected governments in Venezuela and Syria. These are violations of international law and crimes against peace.
But more is urgently needed – informational picket lines, leafleting, visits to congressional offices, protests at media centers against war propaganda, vigils and challenges to government officials. Let's make our voices heard!
As the 15th anniversary of the NATO bombing of Yugoslavia and occupation of Kosovo approaches, there is growing anger that the U.S. government is giving $10 billion in loans to an unelected, right-wing regime in Kiev, while hungry children and families here are being told to get by with $8.9 billion in cuts to SNAP food assistance.
The provocative U.S. war moves against the people of Eastern Ukraine, Crimea and Russia include sanctions, sending warships with guided missiles to the Black Sea, and war games with F15 fighters on Russia's border. This, too, will cost billions of dollars that should be spent to bail out the city of Detroit, create jobs and fund schools.
Corporate media outlets such as CNN, Fox News and the New York Times have colluded with leaders in Washington to whip up a new Cold War sentiment against Russia, while covering up the U.S. role in the recent violent events in Ukraine.
Unmentioned by corporate media are the enormous U.S. financial and military interests at stake – from control of Ukraine's oil and gas pipelines connecting Russia with Western Europe, to the prospect of NATO military bases on Russia's western border.
The U.S. hand is clear in the opposition protests that unseated the elected government of Ukraine. Washington has trained, funded and given political support to an undemocratic movement rooted in the wealthy oligarchy, just as it is doing today in Venezuela. State Department officials were caught on tape plotting the February coup and bragging that the U.S. had already spent $5 billion to make it happen
Also censored from mainstream media coverage is the real character of the junta in Kiev, which is dominated by outright neo-Nazi movements such as the Svoboda party and Right Sector. Today these fascists are carrying out violent repression against leftists and other opponents of the coup. Their continued rule not only endangers Jewish, immigrant, LGBTQ and minority-language communities throughout Ukraine, but threatens to plunge the world into war.
WE NEED YOU! Join one of the protests below. If there's no activity yet in your area, call one and send the details to iacenter@iacenter.org. It can be as simple as distributing informational leaflets in your neighborhood or having a soapbox speak-out with a few friends on a busy street corner.
Join us! Educate, organize and protest. Let's stop the next U.S. war before it starts.

No more invasions of the Middle East!
Take action now to prevent a war against the People of Syria, and take a stand against the USA's support for al Qaeda-affiliated militias who are killing minorities in Syria!
2014-03-14 message from the Syria Solidarity Movement [www.syriasolidaritymovement.org] [solidarity@syriasolidaritymovement.org]: As we approach the March 15 end of the third year of deadly conflict in Syria, some organizations are pushing for greater US intervention and escalation of the conflict. They have organized a concerted lobbying campaign in the halls of Congress along with public demonstrations and publicity. They are well funded and have professional lobbyists and marketing consultants.
We believe it is important to speak out and make clear that the people calling for more war and aggression are a MINORITY. They do not speak for the majority of Syrian and Arab Americans who want the conflict and bloodshed to end, not escalate.  They certainly do not speak for the majority of Americans who are sick of US wars and intervention.
We are launching a telephone campaign to the offices of influential House and Senate members over the coming week, starting Friday March 14 and continuing through to Friday March 21.
We invite you to join us and to phone several key members of Senate and House listed below,  as well as your own Representative and Senators.
We can politely but firmly ask such questions as:
* Why is the US continuing to spend our tax dollars to arm, train and pay Syrian rebels, effectively turning them into paid mercenaries?  
* Why are we allied with al-Qaeda and trying to force regime change on a secular government that has done no harm to the United States?
* Why don't we support UNCONDITIONAL negotiations, rather than demanding unacceptable conditions before the negotiations begin?
We have seen how in Libya the "no fly zone" and "humanitarian support" turned into unending violence and an attack on the U.S. diplomatic mission.  Let us express our strong opposition to this.
Please phone your own members of Congress and some of the key members listed below.
Choose your own points from the above or express your own viewpoint.
Peace in Syria depends on stopping foreign aggression and attacks. We can stop unnecessary, foolish, expensive and wasteful U.S. intervention!

ACTION CALENDER!

Fracking in California: Can We Still Be a Climate Leader? 
Friday, March 14, 7:00 - 9:00 PM
Sierra Club SF Bay Chapter, 2530 San Pablo Avenue, Berkeley
Fracking and acidizing, techniques that the oil industry wants to greatly expand in California, pose major risks to the water we drink, the air we breathe, our climate, and our future. They could drive California backwards instead of forwards as the climate leader. We will discuss efforts to stop fracking including state legislation, local initiatives, rallies, demonstrations, and bird-dogging Gov. Brown.
Presenters will be from the Bay Chapter's "Don't Frack California" team.
Cost:  $3 suggested donation.

Hear and see Reverend Pinkney March 15 in LA and March16 in San Jose!
FIGHTING FOR OUR FREEDOM,
Lessons for California from Benton Harbor, Michigan,
Confronting Corporate Power and the Police State

Special San Jose Appearance of Rev. Edward Pinkney
5 PM Sunday, March 16, 2014
African American Center, Sixth and Julian Street, San Jose
Sponsored by: CHAM Deliverance Ministry, Benefit for the People’s Tribune

Reverend Edward Pinkney of Benton Harbor, MI: Confronting corporate power and the police state -
Rev. Edward Pinkney is a minister in the forefront of the struggle against corporate power and the police state in Benton Harbor, Michigan. He is founder of the Black Autonomy Network Community Outreach (BANCO). BANCO works to defend the poor against corporate power, and to reform the court system in Benton Harbor, a town with 70% unemployment and more people in prison per capita than anywhere in the world. Community struggles involve those against racial profiling, police abuse and unsolved murders of Black residents. In addition, in Benton Harbor, as in many other cities in America, peaceful protests are surrounded with police in riot gear. The police videotape and take pictures of participants as a means of intimidation.  Now the county has acquired a vehicle with extraordinary military power. This 20-ton armored vehicle can be used for “terrorist-type attacks.” It is odd that Berrien County, an unlikely place for a national terrorist attack, would seek such a monolithic machine.
Whirlpool is the main corporation that runs Benton Harbor and that influences the city’s decisions. Once a thriving industrial town, today, the Whirlpool corporation is leading a redevelopment effort which is taking over lakefront property deeded to the city, and is displacing the largely jobless community. The plan is to privatize all of Benton Harbor’s 16 parks and outsource all remaining land that Whirlpool does not control. The main parks they want have waterway access which will be part of the effort to turn Benton Harbor into a vacation land for the rich.
More recently, the struggle against Whirlpool has taken the form of resisting an undemocratic state law that put an Emergency Financial Manager (EFM) in charge of Benton Harbor (and other cities in Michigan). The EFM has dictatorial powers and has stripped elected officials of all authority for running the city. This struggle has been documented on the Rachel Maddow television program on MSNBC. 
Some years ago, the community exercised their democratic rights in a recall election of a city commissioner backed by the Whirlpool Corporation. After a successful recall election, Rev. Pinkney was arrested for "vote fraud" and convicted by an all-white jury. He later had his probation revoked and was sentenced to 3-10 years for quoting the Biblical admonition from Deuteronomy that "God will punish those who act unjustly against others" in the People's Tribune, a national newspaper based in Chicago. He served almost one year in prison for that charge. A victory for free speech was won when the Michigan Appellate Court overturned this ruling.
Rev. Pinkney travels the country speaking at many venues, including Cornell University, Michigan State University, Michigan University, Washington State University, Western Michigan University, Wayne State University, Laney College in Oakland, California, U.S. Social Forum, Left forum, and many other venues.

Engaged Faith: An Update from Haitian Fr. Didi Horace
with translation by Pierre Labossiere
date              Friday, 4/4/14
time              7 PM
where           Newman Hall/ Holy Spirit Parish
                     2700 Dwight Way
                     Berkeley
admission        Free
information  510-482-1062
 Newman Nonviolent Peacemakers and the Fr. Bill O’Donnell Social Justice Committee welcome Fr. Didi and Pierre as we strive with them to rekindle the faith community’s engagement with Haiti. Free will donations to HERF will be gratefully accepted.
Many of us are familiar with “the too painful to look at” facts about Haiti: 10 years after the coup which ended the reforms of the Aristide government; four years following the earthquake which killed hundreds of thousands; the cholera epidemic carried to Haiti by UN ‘Peacekeepers;’ billions of dollars on non-disbursed foreign aid with billions more unaccounted for; luxury hotels built to promote tourism while sweatshops provide the only labor for the hundreds of thousands of Haitians still living in tent camps.
We are less familiar with the community-driven responses to these realities exemplified by the parishioners of native born Father Didi Horace. As Superior of Voluntas Dei, Haiti, he oversees its seven missions in largely rural areas of Haiti with one in Port au Prince. Each mission includes a school which also provides for the nutritional and healthcare needs of its students, some of whom walk four miles daily to attend. His ministry brings him in daily contact with both the issues of everyday life confronting rural and urban life and church-based initiatives to address them. Fr. Horace is visiting the Bay Area for the first time.
Pierre Labossiere [Co-founder of the Haiti Action Committee; Haiti Emergency Relief Fund (HERF); Haiti Committee, East Bay Sanctuary Covenant] is very familiarproviding tangible support to the Haitian poor who have been largely ignored. Besides direct aid (food, clean water systems, medical supplies) HERF funds schools, mobile health clinics staffed by visiting US medical teams, and micro loans for everything from local food production to worker cooperatives. Pierre will translate Fr. Didi’s presentation.

Show support for Napa city's resolution calling on the state and federal governments to...
Label Genetically Engineered Foods!

When: Wednesday March 19th at 4:00 PM.
Where: The Community Room attached to the McCarthy Library at Napa Valley College (Parking is $2).
The Napa County Local Food Advisory Committee advises the Napa County Board of Supervisors on food-related matters and took up this issue. A subcommittee was formed to suggest language in support of GE food labeling, and this recommendation will be voted upon by the Food Council as a whole and hopefully the Board of Supervisors and City Council.  This Food Council vote is very important, since the Board of Supervisors will likely follow its recommendation, so we hope that anyone who can attend the meeting will do so and speak in support. (This issue is timely as our own state senator, Noreen Evans, is in the process of carrying a state bill, SB1381, to label genetically engineered foods in California in our state legislature.)
We hope to see and hear from a lot of supporters on March 19th!---
Suggested Language to Be Voted Upon on March 19th:
Napa County Local Food Advisory Council (NCLFAC) Recommendation to Support Mandatory Labeling of Genetically Engineered (GE) Food Products -
Whereas, food is a fundamental necessity for human life, and individuals and families have the right to choose the foods they consume, and
Whereas, consumers have the right to receive accurate and thorough information about the products they eat and feed to their families, and
Whereas, many processed foods that are commonly sold in grocery stores contain genetically engineered (GE) ingredients, and neither pre-market safety testing nor labeling is mandatory, and
Whereas, NCLFAC places a high value on consumers who are informed, and the labeling of GE foods would allow consumers to choose for themselves whether or not they purchase and eat them.
Therefore be it resolved that the Napa County Local Food Advisory Council recommends that the Napa County Board of Supervisors declare support for passing federal and state regulations requiring labeling of all foods that are developed through genetic engineering or include genetically engineered ingredients in their manufacture, and
Be it further resolved that the Napa County Board of Supervisors express this support to the Commissioner of the Food and Drug Administration, our United States Congressional Representatives, the President of the United States, our State Senate and State Assembly Representatives, and the Office of the Governor.

Anonymous Internet Communication (The People vs. NSA, et al.)
Sunday, March 16, 2014 - 10:30 am to 12:30 pm
at NPML [6501 Telegraph Ave. Oakland, CA 94609] [marxistlibr.org] [510-595-7417]
It’s no secret that the NSA was and is secretly spying on people here at home and around the globe.  The justification given for this activity is that it can prevent terrorism and crime. There are challenges to NSA surveillance pending in the courts and in congress, based on the First and Fourth Amendments.
While we wait for Congress or the courts to do something, we can right now actively protect our individual privacy, using freely available technical tools and best practices.  Mr. Keith Davis, a recently retired software engineer specializing in business security software, will discuss these tools and how to use them.  He will provide specific strategies, including technical details about Message Encryption, Virtual Private Networks (VPN), The Onion Ring (TOR), Firewalls, UseNet, Bitcoin, Bitmessage and others.
Mr. Davis will discuss the motivations for Internet Anonymity and the different levels of privacy that can be obtained (with corresponding effort and/or technical expertise).  He also will provide caveats and warnings associated with the use of privacy tools and practices.  There will be a Q&A and discussion period following the presentation.


"Viva Venezuela: Fighting for Socialism" Film Showing

Contact: ANSWER Coalition at answer@answersf.org or 415-821-6545

Today, although the right-wing of Venezuela, backed by the U.S., is trying to undermine the Venezuelan revolution, this film conveys that the people who support the revolutionary government, are fighting to build a better society for all Venezuelans without the private economic dictatorships seen elsewhere in the Americas.
This inspirational new documentary was filmed in the streets, barrios, universities and workplaces of Caracas during mobilizations for the 2012 presidential elections. It gives a voice to the activists, students and workers working to build a collective, socialist society through the Bolivarian Revolution. (Spanish with English subtitles, 71 min.)

  1. A great testimony I must share to all cancer patients in the world. My husband was diagnosed with stage 4 primary liver cancer in
    March 2013. The doctor told us there was not much to be done since the tumor was 7 inches covering his lower lobe and also had
    spread to his lymph nodes. We decided to go home and called hospice which gave us morphine for pain. Ed hated the morphine which
    made him vomit and also affected his mind. After one week at home we decided to do what we have done for many years, rely on
    ourselves.We were only in Hospital for 3 days with severe Pain. The cancer had blocked his bile duct, after that we choose a
    Naturopath doctor and have not had conventional treatments. one day i came across the use of cannabis oil for treatment of cancer
    and i saw a post on how a cancer patient was cured with cannabis oil. I urgently needed help and i contacted the email :(ricksimpsonoil02@gmail.com) to get the cannabis oil, i was given instructional guide on how to use it. After taking a gram
    of oil per day. Within a couple of weeks his pain and swollen stomach disappeared and with it came hope and a good quality of
    life. We never saw an ocologist and only have done a blood test after the first diagnose CT scan. His tumor marker went from over
    6000 to normal and he is feeling well. We don’t know how this is going to play out, but enjoy every day and give thanks. As i am
    writing this post, my husband is free from liver cancer and the doctor confirmed that the cancer was cured permanently. For
    immediate assistance on every medical issue you and your family may be experiencing, contact Dr Rick via email: (ricksimpsonoil02@gmail.com) for more information and the delivery process.

  4. In 2012 I accidentally stumbled upon the movie "Run from the Cure" on YouTube. I was very skeptical when I initially heard

    that cannabis could cure cancer. Like everyone, I assumed that if there was a cure for cancer it wouldn't be kept quiet.

    After countless hours of watching videos and reading through articles and studies I began to change my opinion. There was

    so much science behind cannabis and its effects on cancer I couldn't believe it.

    Last year, my uncle was looking for help. He had stage 4 cancer in his stomach, throat and pancreas. Over the course of

    about 5-6 weeks from when he was diagnosed, he became so sick he could no longer eat and he lost over 60lbs. He was

    actually supposed to be dead before Christmas and when I talked with him he was given about 3 weeks to live.

    He had been given radiation the month before he contacted me and he and his doctor were hopeful that would help. But

    instead of helping it seemed to make his cancer worse. So instead of trying to continue to help my uncle, his doctor told

    him he was sorry but the cancer had spread too much and there was nothing left to do for him. His doctor simply told him to

    go home and die.

    It has been over a year and my uncle is still ALIVE. Although there is no recorded proof, we can only go off of what we

    have seen for our own eyes: suppressed cancer, Improved immune function, and his weight is now normal. We learned that when

    it comes to the people you care about who's life is on the line, you can't always depend on others, especially doctors to

    go out of their way.

    One piece of advice I offer from his experience is to follow the dosage instructions. My uncle took about 10 times the

    recommended dose his first time. The only side effect he experienced was sleep but since he was not used to the effects of

    the oil it caused him to feel uncomfortable. He slept 8 hours straight. Tommy Chong did the same thing and took a large

    amount more than is recommended and explained his feeling like a "coma" because it was very hard to come out of the

    sleepiness to get up and move around.

    I am elated I want to continue sharing with people who are experiencing what he went through that there is absolutely hope

    and a cure out there. They just need to be proactive and aggressive with treatment, not wait until it is too late. Get your

    medication via Email: rickcurecancer@gmail.com. Thanks to all the staff at Amsterdam’s Garden
    who guided us throughout this journey. You guys are awesome!

  11. My name is VICTORIA KENT from England, My husband and I have been married for about 6yrs now. We were happily married with two kids, a boy and a girl. 3 months ago, I started to notice some strange behavior from him and a few weeks later I found out that my husband is seeing someone else. He started coming home late from work, he hardly care about me or the kids anymore, Sometimes he goes out and doesn't even come back home for about 2-3 days. I did all I could to rectify this problem but all to no avail. I became very worried and needed help. As I was browsing through the internet one day, I came across a website that suggested DR OGUDUGU can help solve marital problems, restore broken relationships and so on. So, I felt I should give him a try. I contacted him and told him my problems and he told me what to do and i did it and he did a spell for me 48hours later, my husband came to me and apologized for the wrongs he did and promise never to do it again. Ever since DR OGUDUGU is the best online spell caster that is powerful and genuine. If you have any problem contact him and i guarantee you that he will help you.

    Here’s his contact: greatogudugu@gmail.com or for easy communication contact him on whatsApp him +2348139793075
