With its general assemblies, People's Mic, and chants of 'We are the 99 percent,' OccupySF gains momentum despite a police crackdown
Many participants are determined to stay put. Jreds, a protester who had come from Chico, looked me in the eye and promised, "I'm staying as long as it takes."
When asked his occupation, Jreds replied, "This is our occupation."
After years of foreclosures and unemployment, no wonder so many people are motivated and available to work and sleep at a place like this. Wall Street's unmitigated power has failed to trickle down into economic opportunities for the rest of us, and in this economy, "why don't you just get a job" is starting to sound like "let them eat cake."
As John Reimann, 65, a retired carpenter from Oakland, put it, "I've been waiting 10 years for something like this." He helped start Occupy Oakland last week.
Protester Chris L, who says the community at the camp is the best part about it, also plans to stay indefinitely. Billy Gene Hobbs, a promoter from LA who can often be seen jumping and shouting to keep protest crowds pumped, came to visit San Francisco two weeks ago, found the camp, and hasn't left. Since the police came through, almost 100 more people have joined.
The camp's population is a source of ongoing discussion. Complaints of "too many hippies" usually die quickly when someone actually comes to camp, where the people they're referring to are not the only ones and, moreover, are active and responsible organizers.
Others object that the protest is populated mostly with young people, especially white and male. There is active discussion on how to accommodate people with children as well as people with disabilities.
It seems everyone — including the many people of color, folks of all ages, and disabled people who have been organizers and participants in the movement — shares the view that oppressive institutions work hand in hand with the corporate corruption and power that the movement strives to end.
Camp life is dotted with calls for the People's Mic, a tool developed at Occupy Wall Street, where using bullhorn or speakers is illegal. When someone yells "Mic check!" the crowd echoes in response. The person speaks his piece, sentence by sentence, as the crowd repeats. If a few people nearby can hear him, everyone can. For better or for worse, it tends not to amplify ideas people don't have much taste for; at a recent meeting, when someone insisted that people who had been foreclosed on were greedy and foolish, the People's Mic's volume faded fast.
The People's Mic requires no electricity, discourages rambling, a brilliant improvisation. But the central feature of Occupations throughout the country is the General Assembly. OccupySF has been holding General Assemblies every day at camp at 6 p.m. and on Saturdays at noon in Union Square. In the past week they have consistently boasted a couple hundred participants daily, but continue to practice consensus-based decision-making and participatory democracy. They're long and often frustrating, but for many, as a standard rallying cry insists, "This is what democracy looks like!"
Many have stepped up at meetings to say that too many men, too many white people, or simply too many of the same voices are being heard. Solidarity efforts like Occupy the Hood, which declares the vital need that people of color make decisions and organize in and along with the occupations, have surfaced nationally.
On Oct. 5, after about 700 people marched on the Financial District with OccupySF, the General Assembly was particularly well attended. It was peppered with invitations and expressions of solidarity, conveyed by representatives of groups from throughout the Bay Area.
The week's schedule slowly filled: Thursday's anti-war march, the next day's teach-in with activist Miguel Robles, a 7 am "Wake Up Action" with Unite-HERE Local 2 on Oct. 10, and plans to coordinate with the LGBT rights group Get Equal for a National Coming Out Day action the next day.
I've seen bigger crowds at my neighborhood bar.
to avoid wetting your pants. But you can't fool other people. Your lying to them on the internet, which readily proves you are a liar.
Are you saying that SFBG is lying to us?
FYI, the stock market is up 10% since this started. Looks like us one-percenters are doing just fine.
8:27 PDT SAN FRANCISCO - A group of nearly 200 protesters is blocking the front door of Wells Fargo Bank's corporate headquarters, slowing downtown traffic and forcing workers to use a side entrance.
Hmm, let's see, Bay Area population is about 5 million, so that's 00.02% of us taking part.
'Guest' this is simply because out of the hundreds of thousands of people in any given city, only a handful will risk arrest in a civil disobedience action.
But just as even a mere letter sent to an elected official represents hundreds of people, and every person actually meeting with that elected official represents thousands; every person taking the personal risk to engage in civil disobedience also represents thousands of people who feel the same way about the issue, but are too busy, personally vulnerable, or timid, to show up themselves.
Again, you are whistling in the dark. And the wolf of democracy is creeping up on you. Prepare to be brought down...
let alone global capitalism.
The stock market is up 10% since this started, and the markets rarely get these things wrong. This will fizzle out as soon as it gets cold and wet.
200 people? Subtract the "usual suspevcts" who show up for all these events, and it's trivial. A few weeks ago it was BART, today it's this, next it will be something else. People like to whine but, in the end, they also like to eat.
Did not BART immediately reverse it cellphone signal policy?
Is not BART sweating bullets over its police violence problem.
And the modern stock market is simply a farcical measure of totally overblown artificial debt accumulation. Fake money as illusory bytes on computer hard drives, absurdly and exponentially inflating with no real world justification for that expansion. The 'stock market' has become meaningless to how the economy is actually behaving and whether or not it is succeeding or failing.
Your arguments are weak.
And your resort to petty ridicule shows that your protestations are based in fear.
I doubt that in practice any of their management will change anything. A few conciliatory words they didn't mean bought you off.
And the stock market anticipates event better than polls or anything else. If the Dow is up 10% that means the smart money is betting against you. So do I.
So you're wrong again.
BART will never shut down cell phone service again, after the world wide condemnation of their embarrassing and UnAmerican act.
"Linton Johnson, the spokesman — who has been on leave from BART since Anonymous publicized partially nude photos of him in mid-August — suggested the shutdown."
"Johnson did not return a call seeking comment. Allison, the spokesman, said he didn't know whether Johnson would be returning."

This article, published this morning demonstrates that you are also lying when you say everyone's forgotten the BART issue.
What's it like to be on the wrong side of the truth nearly 100% of the time?
Does it pleasure you somehow?
They can say anything and still do anything.
You've been played.
Desperately trying to cling to any vile argument you can to invalidate what is now a global movement encompassing hundreds of thousands of active protestors, and likely millions who silently support.
99% are getting on with their lives with no delusion that they are going to overthrow capitalism.
That's not what this world wide movement is about.
Thanks for playing, though.
Really 'Guest'?
This poll says otherwise; that New Yorkers support the Occupy protests 3 to 1.
Looks like you are the fool, on the wrong side of history.
Take a look:
Deputy police chief: "I like this idea. Can anyone think of a downside?"

Instead of turning away food donations from the public, try contacting the SF Food bank to see if there is any way they could help you deal with the excess.
And if the SF Food Bank, can help.. please encourage people to donate even MORE food. http://www.sffoodbank.org
"Many participants are determined to stay put. Jreds, a protester who had come from Chico, looked me in the eye and promised, "I'm staying as long as it takes.""
This is some of the most earnestly horrible writing. I know one of the "demands" is free college education. If the end result is even more Sac State journalism majors on the loose, I think I'll count myself as one of the 1%.
Support occupy SF! Support law and order and jail the Wall street gangsters and all the corrupt democrat and republican politicians who aided and abetted the looting of America!
Thanks for this piece and the inside look at our local efforts. A minor FYI: People's Mic has been used since before Occupy Wall Street. I remember using it during anti-war protests in 2003, and I'll bet it goes back at least 10-20 years before that. Anyone have background info on this?
I think it's important to acknowledge that while the surge in support is new, effective organizing and some of the more targeted lock-down actions would not have been possible without the years of grueling work carried out by organizers in previous decades, when the economy was booming and fewer people cared about others in the worst situations. Consensus process, people's mic, facilitation skills, and other tools have been handed down to us by our predecessors.

Why doesn't somebody over at Fred Miranda mention the Fotodiox solution. There is no limitation to tilt and or shift. I am not a member there so can't.
As for an expensive never arriving Lee "solution" with limited usability, it is a joke. Go on Amazon and just buy a ready made high quality solution, I just did and the Fotodiox Wonderpana just works.
privatebydesign would you have sample images of the fotodiox setup on your 17mm at max -12/+12 shift? at f/8 and/or f/16? I am curious to see if there is any vignetting with the fotodiox setup+filter attached.
I am also curious to your opinion on the fotodiox 145mm filters in particular the full ND as there aren't many reviews on it. Comparing prices on Amazon I see a regular photodiox nd8 for $80 and a Lee ProGlass 0.9 for $180! Almost 2x the price, not sure if there is a significant difference in quality between the two brands?
Sorry it took so long to follow up on this.
First image is an overlay five shot (not blend) with the Fotodiox Wonderpana and CPL in place, shot on 1Ds MkIII TS-E 17 @ f16. Unshifted is the red rectangle and the four ears are 12mm shift in each direction. The shadowing on the extreme corners is the effect of the light falloff, not vignetting, it is apparent in the set I took without the Wonderpana in place as well, the second image.
Even reverse tilt can be used at 12mm shift up to about 4º, or if you need the 6º tilt then 8mm shift is where you start to get vignetting. But these are very extreme uses, with 4º of tilt you are looking at a J point less than 12" below the camera.
All in all I am very happy with the performance of the Wonderpana and I wish somebody would post about it on Fred Miranda board.

Edwin Alemany pleads not guilty to South Boston attacks
The man accused of multiple horrific attacks on women in South Boston is a "decent man" with serious mental health issues, his lawyer said Wednesday.
Edwin Alemany, 28, pleaded not guilty to charges including armed assault to murder and kidnapping for two attacks on separate women last month. He was ordered held on $3 million bail. He is scheduled to be arraigned Thursday in West Roxbury District Court for the murder of Amy Lord.
Alemany's lawyer, Jeffrey Denner, did not argue the prosecution's request for bail.
After the arraignment, Denner said Alemany has a long history of mental health issues and "has serious problems."
"He's a very decent man who acted allegedly very indecently," said Denner, who was flanked by about a dozen of Alemany's relatives who attended the arraignment in South Boston District Court.
Assistant District Attorney John Pappas said that Alemany approached a woman walking to work on Old Colony Avenue at about 4:15 a.m. July 23. He punched her in the face and then dragged her by the feet into a parking lot.
The 22-year-old woman told police that during the attack, Alemany told her he wasn't going to rob her, he was going to kill her, Pappas said.
Later, he told the woman she wasn't the one he was looking for and that he had "a hit out" for a woman pushing a baby stroller, Pappas said.
Alemany is also accused of stabbing another woman in her face, torso and neck area near her South Boston building on July 24. Pappas said that video surveillance and forensic testing on a blood trail and on the victim connected the attack to Alemany.
In between the two attacks, authorities allege that Alemany abducted Lord, a 24-year-old Bentley University graduate, while she was walking from her South Boston apartment July 23. Authorities said she was forced into her car and then taken to ATMs around the city where she withdrew money. Her body was later found in the Hyde Park recreation area.
Alemany was first arrested for the two attacks and then on August 1 was charged in Lord's death. After his arrest for the attacks, he was ordered to Bridgewater State Hospital for a mental health evaluation. He was deemed competent to stand trial.
Pappas said that Alemany has a lengthy criminal history, including a juvenile record. His record includes multiple assault and battery charges as well as larceny and receiving stolen property.
"This is a very sad situation for so many different reasons and on so many different levels," Denner said.

A while back, we pointed out that Reebok was under investigation by the FTC for improperly marketing their fitness shoes with the implication that they would help women get in shape. In fact, Reebok ended up paying out approximately $25 million to pissed off people who purchased the RunTone and EasyTone shoes. Stuck in the middle of that mess was innocent, angelic Kelly Brook, who models the shoes in question. And with that introduction, I do believe that I have covered all my bases to somehow tie the main point to athletics.
Kelly has a new calendar out and it makes me wish that there every day was its own month. But more importantly, I admire Miss Brook's affront to the stereotypes that we should wear warm clothes in the fall and winter months. Underwear for all, I say.

TARIQ ALI is a veteran opponent of war and imperialism who rose to prominence as a leader of the anti-Vietnam War movement in Britain in the 1960s. Since then, he has written numerous books, including the just published Pirates of the Caribbean: Axis of Hope.
ANTHONY ARNOVE is the author of Iraq: The Logic of Withdrawal, forthcoming this January in an updated paperback edition from Metropolitan Books' American Empire Project Series. He is a member of the International Socialist Organization and is on the editorial board of Haymarket Books and the International Socialist Review.
Tariq and Anthony answered Socialist Worker's questions about the development of a challenge to the U.S. empire–most directly with Venezuela's Hugo Chávez, but evident in the opposition in every corner of the globe to American imperialism.
AFTER HUGO Chávez's United Nations (UN) speech in September, the U.S. media either denounced him or treated him with derision. Does Chávez deserve to be dismissed as a madman?
Tariq Ali: In a world deep in neoliberal sleep, any person who tries to disturb this sleep and to wake people up is denounced and traduced.
Hugo Chávez, who I have met and talked with on several occasions, is an extremely intelligent and enlightened political leader. In the public arena, he uses a language that is no longer considered acceptable by the proponents of the Washington consensus. The U.S. media has, in the main, been so slavish toward the Bush regime that Chávez appears extreme.
What he says, in fact, is the common sense of large swathes of world public opinion. He represents it in the global arena. That's why they carry his portraits on demonstrations in Beirut. In a crazy world of imperial wars and occupations, and the economic fundamentalism of the IMF and the WTO, anyone who speaks up against this is denounced as insane.
In the last decades of the Soviet Union, the decaying bureaucrat Leonid Brezhnev used to have dissidents locked up in mental asylums. The apologists of the American empire seem to be gripped by the same logic–and let's hope with the same results.
Chávez has been denounced non-stop as an "authoritarian,†"a crazy dictator,†etc. If only there was a U.S. media as opposed to its president as its Venezuelan equivalent is to Chávez, U.S. democracy would be greatly enhanced.
Anthony Arnove: For officials in the Bush administration to call other political leaders "mad†is sheer hypocrisy. But this is nothing new. The U.S. government has always demonized its political enemies, whether Chávez in Venezuela, Mossadegh in Iran, Castro in Cuba, or Aristide in Haiti.
The converse of this fact is that the crimes of the friends of Washington do not exist. Central Asian, Middle Eastern and Latin American dictators who are allied with the United States are "moderates,†"reformers†and "friends.â€
For many years, Saddam Hussein, "The Butcher of Baghdad,†was a friend of Washington, even as he carried out his worst human rights abuses–which years later would be trotted out as part of the reason why the United States had to overthrow his regime. Manuel Noriega in Panama was an ally on the CIA payroll before he was declared a "madman.â€
- – – – – – – – – – – – – – – -
WHY DO you think the U.S. political establishment views Chávez as a threat?
Tariq Ali: Primarily because Venezuela is the richest oil-producer in South America, and is using this oil to improve the conditions of the poor in Venezuela; to help Bolivia and Cuba; and even to offer cut-price gas and heating oil to the poor in the United States.
It's this combination that Washington and its global acolytes hate. You can see exactly the same type of attacks on Chávez in the New York Times, the Financial Times, The Economist, Le Monde, El Pais, the London Sunday Times, Folha in Sao Paulo, etc. The global elite doesn't like the Venezuela program of structural reforms.
Add to this Chávez's campaign against imperialism, and you have a complete picture. This is an alternative they do not want to encourage, which is why they tried to topple him on three separate occasions.
If you compare how Chávez has used the oil wealth of Venezuela with the venal U.S. protectorates in the Arab world, the contrast is startling. The Arab elites have enough money to educate and provide free health facilities for the entire Muslim world. They can't even do it in their own part of the world.
And the West is surprised by the support for radical Islam. Not that this current has spent its money well–the class polarization in Iran produced Ahmadinejad, but until now, the clerics have not let him implement his program.
Anthony Arnove: Tariq is absolutely right to stress the importance of Venezuela's oil reserves. Keep in mind that the United States imports most of its oil not from the Middle East but from Canada and Venezuela. So Washington sees a real threat of Venezuela using oil as a weapon.
But the main concern, I think, is the "threat of a good example‖the danger that other governments will follow Venezuela's lead in confronting neoliberalism and U.S. imperialism.
Venezuela alone can't counter U.S. imperial designs in Latin America or globally. But aligned with other countries, it could be part of a challenge to U.S. hegemony. And, most worrying of all for those in Washington, it could inspire a revival of movements for more radical change.
- – – – – – – – – – – – – – – -
CHÃVEZ CRITICIZED the U.S. for waging war in the name of democracy, but imposing the opposite. Can you talk about that?
Anthony Arnove: The U.S. rationale for invading Iraq has gone through so many permutations, it's sometimes hard to keep track: weapons of mass destruction, the alleged connection between Iraq and al-Qaeda, Saddam Hussein's human rights abuses. But the one justification you still hear repeated the most–and which the establishment media has never questioned — is that Washington is "bringing democracy†to Iraq.
If Bush and Co. are bringing democracy to Iraq, then let's ask the Iraqi people what they think about the occupation. That's democracy–the Iraqi people should decide. And the answer is absolutely clear. Even polling by the U.S. State Department has found that a strong majority of Iraqis want the occupation to end immediately.
But that outcome isn't acceptable to the U.S. So much for democracy, then.
The bottom line is that the United States is occupying Iraq to deny democracy and self-determination to the people of Iraq, just as it has long undermined democratic movements elsewhere in the region and the world. The United States doesn't want democracy. It wants military bases, control of energy resources and a client government in Baghdad. And the lives of millions of Iraqis mean nothing compared to those goals.
Tariq Ali: Nobody in their right mind can say that Iraq and Afghanistan are democratic states. It's a sick joke when you see what's happening in both countries.
Iraq is on the verge of disintegration. Its structures have collapsed. Hundreds of thousands of children are no longer receiving an education. Water and electricity are cut off for several hours each day. Everyday life has become a torture for most Iraqis. And real torture carries on inside the prisons of the occupation. The fact that the U.S. media does not report this on a regular basis is a disgrace.
In Afghanistan, the NATO gangs have resorted to indiscriminate killings usually reported as "200 Taliban killed,†etc. There is a de facto Balkanization of the country, and Karzai is a joke figure, seen as such even by his own side. Meanwhile, poppy fields flourish, and the output has increased dramatically since the NATO occupation.
- – – – – – – – – – – – – – – -
DO YOU think the difficulties U.S. imperialism faces in its different wars–Iraq, Afghanistan, Lebanon–relate to the fundamental injustice of the imperialist project?
Tariq Ali: This is the case. Apart from the Kurds, who are happy to be the Gurkhas of the American empire, nobody has benefited.
In Lebanon, the imperialist project suffered a heavy blow with the inability of the supposedly invulnerable Israel Defense Force to destroy Hezbollah. The IDF has, in fact, given an enormous political boost to Hezbollah, which is, at the moment, the most popular political organization in that country. Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah's demand for a new general election to replace the current government echoes majority public opinion.
The UN force (Plan B) is designed to curb Hezbollah and stop the flow of weapons. But this organization has a will and capacity far superior to anything in Iraq or Palestine. Its disarmament is virtually impossible.
The Israeli failure also represented a defeat for Egypt, Saudi Arabia and Jordan, which had eagerly supported the assault.
Anthony Arnove: In some ways, the U.S. government has confronted the limits of empire in Iraq, Lebanon and Afghanistan. In all three countries, the U.S. faces serious defeat, especially in light of the exaggerated claims of what its interventions would achieve.
We have been reminded of the fact that–as we saw in Vietnam–no imperial army is all-powerful, especially when confronting popular indigenous forces opposed to occupation and foreign intervention.
Unfortunately, the Vietnam analogy shows us something else: When faced with the prospect of defeat in Vietnam, the United States did not withdraw, but intensified its destruction of Vietnam and expanded the war to Laos and Cambodia, killing millions of people in the process.
The fundamental injustice of the imperial project is on full display in each of these countries. Unfortunately, the mainstream media has restricted the discussion to questions of "poor planning,†"mistakes†and "good efforts gone awry.â€
- – – – – – – – – – – – – – – -
THE DEMOCRATS have restricted their criticism of the Bush administration's wars mainly to tactics–for example, Rep. John Murtha's plan for "redeployment†in Iraq representing a different strategy, rather than the end of the occupation. Is that enough?
Anthony Arnove: The Democrats offer no alternative. They are just proposing to manage the empire more effectively than Bush has. The real alternative will have to come from below, from a patient rebuilding of the anti-imperialist current in the left in the United States and internationally.
The antiwar movement in the United States has to declare its independence from the Democratic Party. We have to challenge both the Republicans and the Democrats, who have a bipartisan consensus on the fundamental aims of U.S. empire.
This isn't an abstract question. We saw the complete collapse of the antiwar movement in the last presidential election, as groups like United for Peace and Justice mobilized support for pro-war candidates like John Kerry. Millions of dollars and hours have been wasted supporting a party that has nothing but contempt for the politics and aims of the antiwar movement.
Tariq Ali: The Democrats must be one of the more pathetic political parties on the planet. The Clinton makeover neutered this party completely, and its failure to oppose Bush on the war and related civil liberty issues has turned out to be a disaster. Some of the Democratic worms have begun to turn, but late in the day, and the leadership remains ineffective.
As even elements within the Pentagon are arguing for a quick withdrawal (probably alarmed by Henry Kissinger nipping in and out of the White House), the fact that this demand finds no echo in official politics reflects a crisis for U.S. democracy. We already noticed this in the case of the invasion of Lebanon, where, unlike Europe, the U.S. TV networks showed no images of women and children being killed. This censorship is designed to further depoliticize the population.
Meanwhile, Iraq burns, its people die, U.S. soldiers are still getting killed every day, and the U.S. antiwar movement is virtually nonexistent.
- – – – – – – – – – – – – – – -
WHY DO you think the antiwar movement–most obviously here, but internationally–hasn't advanced further?
Tariq Ali: I think the reason for this is that the war is being fought by a volunteer army. So the country as a whole, especially the white middle-class sectors, remains unaffected.
Secondly, the media censorship (in sharp contrast here to the coverage of the Vietnam War) means that the U.S. population is not getting a real picture of what is happening on the ground. Third, the dominant neoliberal culture is one of consumerism and individualism, and this bubble seals people off from reality.
Fourth, there is no section of official politics that is seriously antiwar. Fifth, the way of organizing utilized by the principal coalition against the war fails to understand the period in which we live.
This could change quickly if something unexpected happened on the battlefields or in U.S. politics. Because the tragedy is that public opinion against the war seems to be reflected nowhere.
Incidentally, with the partial exception of Britain, this applies to the antiwar movement elsewhere as well. Neoliberalism is the grammar of politics in most parts of the globe and induces an institutionalized apathy. Imaginative, nonviolent guerrilla antiwar actions seem to be the only solution.
Anthony Arnove: I think we will also need to connect the war abroad to the war at home–a war on poor people, a war on working people, a war on civil liberties.
The indirect economic costs of the Iraq occupation are now more than $1.6 billion, according to a study by Columbia University economist Joseph Stiglitz. Communities across the country are seeing cuts in education, health care, veterans programs, libraries, job training programs.
And we are seeing, in effect, a backdoor draft of reservists who are being sent to fight in Iraq and Afghanistan–many of them held past their service obligations through the "stop-loss†program, others being sent for three or four tours of duty.
And now Congress is removing habeas corpus protections, taking us back to 1214, the year before the Magna Carta.
One only has to watch a few minutes of Spike Lee's phenomenal documentary When the Levees Broke to see the reality of race and class in the United States today. It should be required viewing. Lee's film shows vividly how what happened on the Gulf Coast in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina is intimately related to what's happening in the Persian Gulf today.
In addition, I think it's really important that we support those soldiers who are speaking out against the war. Groups like Iraq Veterans Against the War are playing a crucial role and need wider support.

CHÃVEZ SAID in his UN speech that the world was "waking up†and "rising up against the empire.†What do you think is needed for this resistance to truly deal a blow to imperialism?
Tariq Ali: It's true, the world is waking up, but very slowly.
If you look at China, you see the new workshop of the world, whose economy has led to structural alterations in the world market reminiscent of Victorian England much more than the Gilded Age. This country is locked in a tight embrace with the United States, its economy even more dependent on the U.S. market than Japan's. To expect anything vaguely progressive from the Chinese elite is to daydream.
Latin America is waking up, but the rest of the world is still in deep, neoliberal sleep, with Russia ruled by a neo-authoritarian regime, doing well thanks to the world commodities boom and finding it more and more irritating to simulate democratic niceties (not completely unlike Bush and Blair).
In Iraq, Lebanon, and Afghanistan there is an armed resistance, but which lacks the social vision needed to have an impact inside the United States. In Palestine, the picture looks bleak as the PLO has become a 100 percent collaborationist outfit.
The left must not exaggerate what is going on. At the same time, it shouldn't lose its nerve.
Anthony Arnove: Around the globe, we see signs of people rejecting the values of the so-called Washington consensus. In Ecuador, in Bolivia, in Brazil, in Spain, in Italy and many other countries, we have seen people expressing a strong desire for an alternative.
Here at home, a majority now believes it was wrong to invade Iraq. More than 70 percent of active-duty U.S. troops in Iraq say they want to come home. Bush's approval rating is abysmal. His popularity with African American voters is 2 percent. That's unprecedented.
But around the world, we also see an enormous gap between popular aspirations and the political leadership and organization that can help build movements to challenge those in power and build a real alternative.
In the absence of that organization, the most likely outcome is the spread of feelings of atomization, alienation and cynicism. The sense that we can't have an impact on those in power–or that we'll just end up, like in Brazil or South Africa, with more of the same.
I think one of the reasons so many people responded positively to Hugo Chávez's speech at the United Nations was the feeling that, finally, someone was speaking up. Someone was challenging Bush and telling the truth.
Noam Chomsky's book Hegemony or Survival became the number-one book on Amazon.com and shot up to number five on the New York Times bestseller after Chávez recommended it in his UN General Assembly speech. I think that's a sign of the fact that people want an alternative and are open to radical ideas.
But we still need to overcome the poisonous legacy of Stalinism, which has led so many people to associate radicalism–and specifically socialism–with dictatorship and repression. That will take time. Movements for change always take time.
On the other hand, I think more and more people are becoming aware of the fact that our time may be limited. The direction capitalism is taking the planet is unsustainable. The evidence is mounting every day that we are destroying the environment in ways that are potentially catastrophic. The invasion of Iraq has also pushed us closer the brink of nuclear war, which could also wipe out humanity.
So there's an urgency now that's hard to exaggerate. We can't look to saviors from on high to get us out of this mess, though. We have to do it ourselves.

stinky and falls apart fast,dog loved it
By Heather
from sunnyvale, ca
The rope was extremely stinky, which is probably why my Labrador Retriever puppy loved it. It fell apart in two weeks with tug games. Other ropes hold up longer.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Not for heavy chewers!
By Coonhound lover
from Mclean, VA
Within an hour, my 1 1/2 yr old 100 lb coonhound made it into a pile of hemp strings. And he ate quite a bit of it, which we were lucky did not get stuck in his digestive track.

Didn't last long (less than 2 weeks)
By Yvette
from Cincinnati, OH
I bought this for my dogs thinking it would be a more "natural" rope toy for them (not dyed, bleached, etc.). I liked it but it was easily destroyed. I didn't even last 2 weeks before it was chewed in half. The dogs did like it though. I just thought that it would be more durable. I had purchased the largest size (with 3 knots).(I accidentally posted this review under the other brand of hemp rope toy, but I checked my order and this is the brand that I bought.)
Too easy to chew through.
By Tre
from Maryland
My year old Golden Lab chewed through this toy in no time and that was with supervision and taking it away at times. It upset his stomach and he threw up also. I would not buy again.
Hemp Heaven!
By Pooch Pal
from Arizona
Our 18 month old Catahoula, Blue, will seek out his hemp rope toy mainly for quiet chewing pleasure, but sometimes he likes to tempt his humans to play tug games with it.

Safe, rugged, well made - Margo loves it !!!!!
Favorite Chewy Toy
By luv2chis
from Long beach,CA
Keeps my chihuahuas happy chewing for quite awhile. Expect loose and stringy hemp everywhere but as long as my chihuahuas are happy and it's natural and safe for them...it doesn't matter to me. By the way, this is my second purchase for the hemp rope!
By tinytb
from New York
My dog loves this, as do my neighbors' dogs! Great, safe and healthy dog toy!

Mexico's Volcanoes: Schellens & Team Recap Summit of Ixta
Posted by: Geoff Schellens, Zeb Blais | February 20, 2014
Categories: *Expedition Dispatches *Mexico
Successful summit of Ixta!
The team is resting in Puebla after our successful summit of Ixta today. We started off today just before 2:00AM from our high camp with perfect climbing weather, a clear warm night. Battling loose scree, rock and hard snow our team made the summit just before the break of day. Watching the morning light slowly pour over the landscape around us we snapped our last pics and began our descent. Snowy ridges and rocky slopes brought us back to high camp. After a well deserved rest we broke camp and made our way to the trail head where we were greeted with cotton cloths and a celebratory feast of sandwiches, beer, chips, and soda. Soon we were back in our van bumping along the dirt road and dozing off one by one all the way to Puebla.
Congratulations to our team and thanks everyone for following!

This is Zeb Blais checking in from the February Mexico Volcanoes climb. This morning we were greeted by the first rays of sun lighting Popocatepetl. We got a leisurely start to the day with a breakfast of huevos Mexicana. After breakfast we packed our gear and headed to the trailhead for our move to high camp on Ixta. The team did well and made it to high camp feeling good. After setting up tents, we spent the rest of the beautiful day relaxing in the sun. We wrapped up the day with a briefing on the climb ahead and a big dinner. Off to bed for now. We will check in from the summit. Adios.

Mexico: Schellens & Team Settle into the Altzimoni Hut
Posted by: Geoff Schellens, Zeb Blais | February 17, 2014
Categories: *Expedition Dispatches *Mexico
Elevation: 12,800'
Today was another busy day for us starting with a duffle shuffle and reloading the van. After an hour drive we arrived to the best breakfast in Mexico, Mission Tlaxcala, a beautiful stone hotel over looking a stunning waterfall. With full bellies we hopped back in our van and drove through the warm morning to Amecameca. A quick grocery shop for last minute food items and the conclusion to Mike's quest for AA batteries put us back on the road. A beautiful two-hour drive winding through a wooded hillside and eventually the high grass covered slopes of Ixtaccihuatl (Ixta). Our home for the evening is the Altzimoni Hut at around 12,800'. After settling in to our new accommodations, we went for a short stroll up the trail to stretch the legs. Once back at our hut we discussed gear and packing for tomorrow and ate a five-star taco dinner. Now we are all doing a little packing and organizing our gear for mañana and turning in for a good night's sleep.
Thanks for following along with us,

Mexico: Schellens & Team Acclimatize on La Malinche

Elevation: 14,640'
La Malinche summit!
Today was a busy day. After a fantastic breakfast at our hotel in Mexico City we met our driver and loaded the van to the brim with all our gear. By 9:00 we were bumping along the streets working our way out of the city and towards the hills. After a few hours we found ourselves winding through the forests on the flanks of La Malinche. We arrived at La Malintzi, an old Olympic training facility at 10,000 feet around noon and stowed our bags in our cabins. With day packs packed and the noonday sun warming us, we started our acclimatization hike. After two hours hiking through the forest, we broke out of the trees and began climbing up the scree trail to gain the ridge. At 4:30 we found ourselves on the summit of La Malinche, 14,640'. Higher than any point in the continental United States. With perfect weather we began our descent scree skiing through the sandy section and back into the forest. Happy and tired we all enjoyed our delicious dinner back at La Malintzi and headed to bed for some well-deserved rest.
Thanks for following us.

Mexico's Volcanoes: Team Returns to Mexico City
Posted by: Geoff Schellens, Seth Waterfall | January 26, 2014
Categories: *Expedition Dispatches *Mexico
Hi there this is Seth checking in from the Houston airport. The team awoke in Tlachichuca this morning after lots of slumbering last night. Everyone was pretty tired after a whirlwind couple of days.
After checking out of the Hotel Colonial in Puebla we drove to Tlachichuca, packed our bags and headed up to high camp. Once there we had time for an afternoon stroll and then it was off to bed. Just a few hours later we made a 1am start for the summit. Although a few of the climbers decided that it was best that they stayed at the hut while the bulk of the group went up.
Orizaba is an 'in your face' kind of climb and it's steep right out of the gate. After a couple of hours of trail and scree we reached The Labyrinth. This section can be trickery but for us it was straight forward. Steep ice and snow was the order of the day. Geoff, Alejandro and I anticipated this and had carried extra ropes to 'fix' the steep section. This took a little bit of time and we appreciated everyone's patience as we tried to make the climb as safe as possible.
Once we made our way through that section we began the long march up the Jamapa glacier. Everyone was pretty tuckered out when we finally topped out 7 hours and 15 minutes after starting. There wasn't a puff of wind while we were at the summit and the sun was shining. It was the nicest day I've ever had on that mountain.
Everyone had climbed strong and doubled down on the descent. We climbed down the glacier and then Geoff and Alejandro guided the climbers down The Labyrinth while I pulled the ropes. We returned to high camp just over 11 hours after starting out.
Now we're all disbanded and heading to our respective homes. It was a great experience and quite the uphill adventure!

Hey this is Seth calling from Tlachichuca. All is well. We've made it down off the mountain and all the way back to town with no big surprises. We had our closing celebration dinner and everybody is just basically crashed out. There is some snoring going on upstairs at the Reyes Compound right now. We are sad that the trip is ending tomorrow, but everybody's excited to be going home to their family and loved ones. It was a great day to finish off an awesome trip here in Mexico.

Hey this is Seth standing on top of El Pico de Orizaba also known as Citlaltépetl , the tallest point in Mexico, the third highest in North America. It took us about 7 ½ hours from high camp to reach the summit. Everybody did great, it's a beautiful day and the boys are psyched let's here them (yells in background). We will check in again when we are back down in Tlachichucha this evening. And tomorrow we are going home.

Hey there. This is Seth checking in from Piedra Grande, our high camp on el Pico de Orizaba. We had a good day coming over from Pueblo. We checked out of the hotel nice and early and drove over to Tlachichuca at the base of Orizaba. Packed our stuff, had lunch at the Reyes Compound, and then proceeded to drive up to the hut here at high camp. Once we got up here, we took a little hike. It was cloudy and right before the sun went down, the mountain finally showed itself. It was rearing up nice and high. We just finished with dinner and sorting a little gear and packing for the climb tonight. We'll be taking off right as it turns tomorrow, a little after midnight, maybe 1:00. We'll be going for the summit. Crystal clear skies right now and just a beautiful night, and everybody is tucked in and getting ready to climb. We'll check in, hopefully from the summit in the morning. Hope all's well back in the U.S.A.

Precious Metals Streaming
Precious metals streaming allows Silver Wheaton to purchase, in exchange for an upfront payment, the by-product silver or gold production of a mine that it does not own or operate. The operating costs that Silver Wheaton pays for future production are pre-determined in the agreements, typically between US$4 to US$6 per ounce of silver and US$400 per ounce of gold produced, with a small inflationary adjustment in most contracts. This amount offsets our partners' typical cost to produce an ounce of silver or gold.
Fixed costs reduce our shareholders' downside risk while at the same time providing the upside to increases in the precious metals price. As well, other than the initial upfront cash payment, Silver Wheaton typically does not contribute to future capital expenditures or exploration costs invested by the mine; yet it benefits from the production and exploration growth that results from these expenditures. This business model often translates into significant value creation for Silver Wheaton shareholders.
Current Purchase Agreements
Silver Wheaton pursues acquisitions that are accretive to shareholders and low-risk in terms of asset quality and political jurisdiction. The company's agreements cover nineteen mining operations and five development stage projects, and are set out in the table below.

|Browns' Shurmur handles heat after loss
|Tuesday, November 06, 2012 8:53 AM
By TOM WITHERS
The Assocaited Press
BEREA — Browns coach Pat Shurmur slipped into his chair behind the microphone. Before beginning his Monday news conference, Shurmur looked at his notes and let out an audible sigh.
"Oh, boy," he said.
He knew what was coming.
Questions. Tough ones.
One day after a 25-15 loss to Baltimore, Shurmur was questioned about several decisions, including a critical one in the fourth quarter that backfired Sunday, as the Browns (2-7) lost to their AFC North nemesis for the 10th straight time and headed into their bye week a frustrated, disappointed and even angry team.
With time to reflect on another winnable game the Browns let slip away, Shurmur, who fell to 6-19 in two seasons, acknowledged that there were some things he could have — and maybe should have — done differently.
"There were some decisions, when I look back on them now, of course, that don't work out," he said. "Then I'll say, 'Well, you know what? Maybe we should have done something else.' That's what you do on Monday."
Shurmur's choice not to punt on fourth-and-2 at his own 28-yard line with 3:53 remaining and two timeouts may be the one he probably regrets most.
After the Ravens, who did nothing on offense for more than two quarters, took a 22-15 lead on Joe Flacco's 19-yard TD pass to Torrey Smith and a 2-point conversion, the Browns got the ball at their 20. They gained eight yards on two completions by quarterback Brandon Weeden, who then threw high to wide receiver Greg Little on fourth down.
Baltimore took over and got a 43-yard field goal from Justin Tucker to open a 10-point lead, essentially ending the game with 2:53 left.
Shurmur doesn't regret the decision, but he did admit that he could have sent in a better play selection from the sideline.
"What I would like us to do is execute, give him a better play and make it," he said. "I watched the game last night, the (New York) Giants punted in that situation and never saw the ball again. Being that we did get the ball back, yeah, I would consider doing something different if I can guarantee I'm going to get the ball back."
The Browns' biggest issue Sunday was their inability to score inside the Ravens' 20-yard line. The red zone was where Cleveland touchdown drives went to die.
Instead of getting any TDs, the Browns had to settle for five field goals by consistent kicker Phil Dawson, who has made 23 straight attempts dating to last season. The one time Cleveland got in the end zone, Weeden's 18-yard TD pass to rookie Josh Gordon was nullified by an illegal formation penalty against running back Chris Ogbonnaya, who lined up wide but was the eighth player on the line of scrimmage.
On Cleveland's next play, Shurmur called a draw for running back Trent Richardson on third down that was stopped for no gain and the Browns settled for Dawson's 41-yard field goal to take a 15-14 lead.
Shurmur said he played it safe in that location on the field to ensure the Browns, who trailed 14-0 in the first quarter, wouldn't waste the scoring chance.
"I did not want a holding call. I did not want a sack. I did not want anything crazy that knocked us out of that situation," he said. "At that point, a field goal puts us ahead. That's why I made that call. Now, if the situation is different, maybe then you take another crack at the end zone."
There's little doubt the Browns have improved. After being blown out often last season, they've been competitive in every game but don't yet have the wins to show for their progress. They're still making too many mistakes, like the one by Ogbonnaya, who tried to back off the line before the ball was snapped.
It's enough to keep a coach up at night or make his hair grayer.
"That's why I look like I do," Shurmur cracked. "You don't want that to happen. There are not a lot of great answers sometimes for it, other than you get it fixed, so it doesn't happen again. That's where the mental toughness comes in. You've got to find a way to correct it and move on."
The bye comes at an opportune time for the young Browns, who are mentally and physically worn out and need a break to recharge. After practice on Tuesday, players will be dismissed until next week. Cleveland's coaches, though, will stick around to try and fix several problems, including some confusion in sending in plays.
During Sunday's loss, the Browns were forced to burn three timeouts because they couldn't get plays in on time to Weeden. It's been a recurring issue as Cleveland has struggled substituting personnel and getting off the snap before the play clock expired.
"That's something we're going to talk about," Shurmur said. "We'll make changes and streamline some of things. That's what's nice about the bye week. It's about the Browns. 'What can we do better as we move forward?"'
Scoring inside the opponents' 20 will be another priority as the Browns rank 31st overall in red zone efficiency. Weeden, too, has to improve in the fourth quarter as his 63.2 rating in the final period is second-worst in the league. His five interceptions in the fourth lead all QBs.
"We need to improve there," Shurmur said.
Most importantly, the Browns need to win.
As one of the team's most respected players, linebacker D'Qwell Jackson is telling his young teammates to keep working. He has seen previous seasons unravel and he won't let that happen again.
"Right now, we got to fight out of this stigma as the same old Browns," he said. "There's no rule, there's no book saying we can't win the rest of our ballgames. It's just a matter of staying the course and not getting your head down."
NOTES: Shurmur will ask the NFL for clarification on two penalties against Gordon, one for pass interference and one for unnecessary roughness on a crack-back block. He also wants an explanation on the call against safety T.J. Ward for roughing Flacco, a penalty that helped Baltimore's go-ahead TD drive. ... The Browns will be featured in a series documentary on Travel Channel next month. The series will show how the team coordinates travel on road trips and offer glimpses of game-week preparation.
