M11_San_Onofre_Flier-1up-fmclip.png Details: M 11 San Onofre Protest And Rally (Note, no camping is available after all)

California Democratic Convention

San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station (SONGS)
  • $680 million spent on this nuclear plant only 18 months ago, and heat transfer tubes are already wearing out -- they are designed to fail but usually last perhaps 10 years.
  • We still don't know the full extent of the failure because the authorities, and all Main-stream media do not tell the truth. MSNBC is owned by GE and CBS is largely owned by Westinghouse, and those two companies both make $$ from selling nuclear plant hardware.
  • Large event at the nuclear reactor site is planned for the one year anniversary of the Fukushima disaster -- still in complete uncontrolled meltdown -- on March 11. See the flier.
  • Note: not yet endorsed by OSD but seeking endorsement!
  • Details: M 11 San Onofre Protest And Rally -- but campground does not allow camping, only day use at the time of the event.

Media

2012 Feb 15

Media: Occupy San Diego

  • 'Cash Mobs' Strike Again Lauren Way coordinates Cash Mobs in San Diego. She recently announced the location for Monday night's flash mob on the group's Facebook page: In Old Town, mobbers will meet at the entrance of Fiesta De Reyes, on Juan St. between Wallace and Mason St. The meet-up time is 6:30 p.m.

Media: Occupy National and Global

  • http://www.revolutiontruth.org/live/ Chris Hedges' most recent Truthdig column was a searing condemnation of Black Bloc as part of the Occupy movement. This article comes at a time when Occupy is suffering from coordinated and vicious attacks from the outside, weariness, winter (in the Western hemisphere), and rifts on the inside, and a seeming disconnect between the larger public and the movement itself. The responses to Hedges' article have been quite polarized. Some resonated with his obvious frustration and concern; others found the piece to be an offensive conflation of tactics and groups and a misguided attack on anarchists. The piece generated intense debate around the world, opening up discussions that are delving into the heart of the nature of Occupy and the profoundly diverse perspectives embodied in this movement. Join us for a panel with Chris Hedges, Margaret Flowers, Zevin Zeese, Georgia Sagri and two others from Occupy Wall Street to discuss anarchist philosophy, Black Bloc, and Occupy.

  • Where’s the Love? Occupy St. Valentine’s Day! Have you had your Dreams crushed? Heart broken? Want to love again, but maybe feel the need to end a bad experience once and for all? To heal ourselves as a community, to reclaim our capacity to Love and Trust, we are joining together to celebrate one another– and to make our voices heard clearly: we want a system that respects people, plants, animals and the planet itself!

  • Occupy fights the law: Will the law win? From Boise to Nashvile, the movement faces an unconstitutional legal siege. The Occupy movement is an exercise in the workings of power whether it is social, financial, policing or political. The occupations that began in September spread with an infectious passion in part because the police violence and mass arrests, the tried-and-true methods of state power employed to suppress radical movements, backfired and the movement grew more. By October hundreds of encampments had popped up nationwide with the tacit cooperation and sometimes explicit approval of local officials. For a few heady weeks Occupy Wall Street had the glow of popular legitimacy – social power – trumping whatever fusty laws prohibited camping or a continuous presence in a public space.

  • Workers Occupy AT&T Atlanta Headquarters to Stop Layoffs While workers at Verizon and Verizon Wireless have been fighting for dignity and respect since last summer, workers at AT&T are facing attacks of their own. In the last month, the company has targeted over 740 union workers, primarily in the southern region of the country, to lay-off despite reporting record profits this quarter.

  • Santorum: "Barack Obama has sided with the 99 versus 1.” Leave it to Rick to accidentally tell it like it is while trying to woo the radical right wingers that now control the GOP. While the Occupy Wall Street people were protesting his campaign appearance, Rick couldn't help but mock the OWS movement, the 99% they represent and the President that supports them.
    "... That’s not what a leader of this country should do but Barack Obama has sided with the 99 versus one.”
    “He supported this movement, this movement that is intolerant and disrespectful. He supported them and embraced them,” Santorum said to loud cheers from his supporters. “Why? Because it’s consistent with exactly what Barack Obama’s trying to do with this country.”Could anyone imagine the day when someone running for President would publicly side with one percent?

  • Some Who Decline an Optional Iris Photo Are Kept Longer in Jail, Critics Say After her arrest at an Occupy Wall Street protest in December, Samantha Wilson expected to be booked, fingerprinted and subjected to a mug shot. But when a police officer raised a small device to her face and began photographing her eyes, she declined. Ms. Wilson, 32, said her refusal resulted in a threat from the officer. “He said: ‘It’s not really optional. It’ll take you longer to get out of here if you don’t do it,’ ” she recalled.

  • Two Occupy Wall St. protesters sue the cop who pepper-sprayed them Anthony Bologna target of women's lawsuit. A high-ranking cop who pepper-sprayed penned-in Occupy Wall Street protesters has been zapped with a lawsuit by two women who were in the line of fire.
    Chelsea Elliott and Jeanne Mansfield are suing Deputy Inspector Anthony Bologna in Manhattan Federal Court for blasting them in the face with pepper-spray during a protest last Sept. 24 near Union Square.The incident was caught on video, and 1.5 million people watched it on You Tube, prompting outrage and drawing attention to the Occupy Wall Street movement. Bologna was docked 10 days of vacation for violating NYPD regulations.
    In an interview Monday, Mansfield, 24, a Boston writer, said she was suing because she wanted to put the NYPD on notice that what Bologna did was wrong.

  • Romney condemns auto-industry rescue Looking back over the last three years, there's arguably no better example of a policy Republicans got wrong than the rescue of the American auto industry. When President Obama launched his ambitious policy in 2009, he was taking a major gamble -- not only with the backbone of American manufacturing, but with his presidency and its ability to use the power of government to repair a private industry facing collapse.

  • Occupy protesters tased at Santorum event Things got a little rowdy during Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum’s visit to Tacoma, Washington on Monday, where reports said that authorities used a taser on least one Occupy Wall Street protester. “I think it’s really important for you to understand what this radical element represents, because what they represent is true intolerance,” Santorum said of the Occupy Tacoma protesters, who have an encampment right next to the museum where he was speaking. He added that they should “go out and get a job” instead of “standing here unemployed, yelling at somebody.”
