DNC Protest, Split, and the Principled Stand of Cynthia McKinney
"As the United States activated Navy ships and the Air Force to begin an airlift of non-specified goods into the former Soviet state of Georgia, and military exercises began in the Persian Gulf near Iran, I received communications from certain individuals among the Colorado Greens who were organizing campaign support events there, suggesting that I not participate in an anti-war program being organized by other individuals in Colorado." -Cynthia McKinney
DNC Protest, Split, and the Principled Stand of Cynthia McKinney
By Steven Argue
Protest plans have been in the works against the Democratic National Convention (DNC) for some time now, with organizers opposing the Democrat Party’s policies of war and occupation, backing of continued corporate policies that cause global warming, and their attacks on immigrants.
The Old Future’s Gone: Progressive Strategy Amid Cascading Crises
“The old future’s gone,” John Gorka sings. “We can’t get to there from here.”1
That insight from Gorka,2 one of my favorite singer/songwriters chronicling the complexity of our times, deserves serious reflection. Tonight I want to argue that the way in which we humans have long imagined the future must be rethought, as the scope and depth of the cascading crises we face become painfully clearer day by day.

History of the AIPRI
We know that the pro-nuclear lobby has attempted and succeeded for many years in censoring all references on Television to the dangers to the general population from living in near (100 mile radius) proximity to nuclear facilities.
L'AIPRI was founded in 1993 by Jean PlGNERO and Maurice Eugène ANDRE. Jean PIGNERO (France) had founded l'APRI en 1964. This was the first association for the protection against ionizing radiation in Europe. He was the director of the review, PRI, « Protection contre les Rayonnements lonisants » (Protection from Ionizing Radiation) of the association and developed actions denouncing the dangers of the abuse of a system requiring obligatory x-rays.
World Naked Bike Ride Cycles Into Saint Louis This Summer
The first ever Saint Louis World Naked Bike Ride will launch later this summer on Saturday August 2 at 9 pm, departing from Tower Grove Park’s Pool Pavilion (near Magnolia Ave and Tower Grove Ave).
The World Naked Bike Ride is an international event protesting oil dependency, promoting positive body image, and raising cyclist awareness. The bike ride’s dress code is “bare as you dare,” so all participants are welcome whether fully clothed, covered in body paint, or completely bare. It has been successful in various other cities such as nearby Chicago, though this is the first summer it will take place in Saint Louis. The Saint Louis event will have some pre-ride body painting at 7 pm.

Diagnosing the Disease
HOUSTON, June 29 -- When it comes to explaining our deteriorating national and international condition, hand it to Dr. Ron Paul, the libertarian Republican who represents several refinery towns just south of Houston, Texas.
He proved his skill Thursday with his address to the House of Representatives, five minutes of straight talk from a wise physician concerned about politics and geopolitics:
