• HatewatchPrior to the advent of the Web, hate groups had limited influence due to financial constraints and their own geographical isolation. Now the situation has changed.

HateWatch is an organization that monitors the growing and evolving threat of hate group activity on the Internet.

• In Memoriam Mario Savio There comes a time when the operation of the machine becomes so odious, makes you so sick at heart, that you can't take part, you can't even passively take part. And you've got to put your bodies on the gears, and upon the wheels, upon the levers, upon all the apparatus. And you've got to make it stop.
• Ten Worst Corporations of the Year
• Dark Alliance Stories by Gary Webb - The San JoseThe Mercury News published a three-part series in late August that detailed how, for the better part of a decade, a San Francisco Bay Area drug ring sold tons of cocaine to the Crips and Bloods street gangs of Los Angeles and funneled millions in drug profits to a Latin American guerrilla army run by the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency, a Mercury News investigation has found. This drug network opened the first pipeline between Colombia's cocaine cartels and the black neighborhoods of Los Angeles, a city now known as the crack capital of the world.
• THE MUTATE PROJECT is a multimedia broadcasting station, a public forum, and a webzine. It's based on the book, How To Mutate & Take Over The World, an Exploded Post-Novel by R. U. Sirius, St. Jude, and the Internet 21.
• Selections from the Senate Committee Report on Drugs, Law Enforcement and Foreign Policy chaired by Senator John F. Kerry While the contra/drug question was not the primary focus of the investigation, the Subcommittee uncovered considerable evidence relating to the Contra network which substantiated many of the initial allegations laid out before the Committee in the Spring of 1986. On the basis of this evidence, it is clear that individuals who provided support for the Contras were involved in drug trafficking, the supply network of the Contras was used by drug trafficking organizations, and elements of the Contras themselves knowingly received financial and material assistance from drug traffickers. In each case, one or another agency of the U.S. government had information regarding the involvement either while it was occurring, or immediately thereafter.

But, alas, relief is coming; a REAL challenge to the duopoly of the Democrats and them Republicans materialized in January 1996. The true implications for American politics in the next century are yet to be realized.

• Playing Dead from Postcards by Grover...
  At the start of the Gulf War, protests were breaking out all over Ann Arbor. No surprise here... its a major University town. But we at the newspaper got a phone call tipping us off that a group of people were going to ''die'' in the Mall, and make a big scene in order to protest the whole war thing. I walked around the Mall, looking for them to ''die'' and suddenly, all the people around me just dropped to the floor. Some moaning loudly, some twitching, some just laying still. But the funny thing about it all was that people continued to shop, and nobody paid much attention to it. I shot this picture of one of the ''dead people'', with the legs of people walking by in the background to try and illustrate the situation.

  Free Speech Issues...

• Project Censored The primary objective of Project Censored is to explore and publicize the extent of censorship in our society by locating stories about significant issues of which the public should be aware, but is not, for one reason or another.
• FEMINISTS AGAINST CENSORSHIP The media may have given you the impression that feminists support moves to censor sexual media, so you might be surprised to know just how many feminists out there have been actively opposing such censorship since long before there was an Internet. And we still do.
• BiblioBytes Banned Books

In Germany they first came for the Communists and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Communist. Then they came for the Jews, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Jew. Then they came for the trade unionists, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a trade unionist. Then they came for the Catholics, and I didn't speak up because I was a Protestant.
Then they came for me -- and by that time, no one was left to speak up.

Those who deny freedom to others deserve it not for themselves, and, under a just God, cannot long to retain it.
