Burroughs ‘Junk is not, like alcohol or weed, a means to increased enjoyment of life. Junk is not a kick. It is a way of life.’ This is the junk equation, the way in which heroin redefines the addict’s world. Burroughs’s cult classic is a raw, semi-autobiographical account of drug addiction, which outraged America and influenced generations of writers to come. He relates with unflinching realism the highs and lows of dependency: euphoria, hallucinations, ghostly nocturnal wanderings and strange sexual encounters, the quests to ease the hunger of the needle, the horrors of cold turkey and back again.

Israel is resorting to the one strategy it has perfected since the day it was created, murdering civilians and destroying civilian infrastructure. The Israeli defense doctrine, old as Israel itself, considers bombing of civilian targets a means for pressuring “militants” and uncooperative governments. So Israel bombs bridges and villages in South Lebanon, power plants in Gaza, orchards, fields, schools, hospitals, residential neighborhoods, beach barbecue parties, etc. Everything is a legitimate target. Israeli ministers announce publicly that their chief strategy is to cause civilian suffering. Every day sees its Guernica, and the U.N., which proudly displays a reproduction of the painting, is mum in the face of a hundred Guernicas.

I, and the others who started the organization, did so for two reasons. Firstly, we believed that as a result of Government policy, violence by the African people had become inevitable, and that unless responsible leadership was given to canalize and control the feelings of our people, there would be outbreaks of terrorism which would produce an intensity of bitterness and hostility between the various races of this country which is not produced even by war. Secondly, we felt that without violence there would be no way open to the African people to succeed in their struggle against the principle of white supremacy. All lawful modes of expressing opposition to this principle had been closed by legislation, and we were placed in a position in which we had either to accept a permanent state of inferiority, or to defy the Government. We chose to defy the law. We first broke the law in a way which avoided any recourse to violence; when this form was legislated against, and then the Government resorted to a show of force to crush opposition to its policies, only then did we decide to answer violence with violence. -- nelson mandela -- "I am Prepared to Die" http://www.anc.org.za/ancdocs/history/rivonia.html - Sun, 23 Jul 8:48am ########################################################## Peace, Propaganda and the Promised Land http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-7828123714384920696 - Sun, 23 Jul 9:02am ########################################################## Palestinian Refugees Host Displaced Lebanese Palestinian Refugees Host Displaced Lebanese http://www.naharnet.com/domino/tn/NewsDesk.nsf/getstory?openform&CF4800BEBE0A21D8C22571B300467771 Beirut, 22 Jul 06 Despite meager resources, Palestinian refugee camps in southern Lebanon opened their doors Saturday to villagers fleeing Israeli bombardments on the south, Palestinian sources told AFP. "In an act of solidarity, the refugee camps of Ain Al-Helweh and Mieh Mieh have started this morning to receive hundreds of displaced people," Amneh Jibril, head of the Palestinian women's union in Lebanon, told AFP. Refugees at the two Palestinian camps near the main southern coastal city of Sidon have opened up schools to house the displaced villagers, and given them mattresses, blankets and food, she said. Further south near Tyre, the three Palestinian refugee camps of Rashidiyeh, al-Bass and Burj al-Shemali have also started to distribute bread, flour and other basic necessities to displaced Lebanese. Sidon Mayor Abdel Rahman Bizri told AFP that the number of displaced people in the city has risen to at least 30,000. "Part of the problem was resolved when the Palestinian refugee camps in Sidon received the displaced people of the south," he said. "They opened their schools to receive them and made dispensaries available for them," he said. More than 400,000 Palestinian refugees are registered in Lebanon. Half of them live in miserable conditions at 12 camps scattered across the country.(AFP) (AFP photo shows thousands of cars filing into the southern city of Sidon as residents of south Lebanon flee the Israeli offensive) - Mon, 24 Jul 6:39am ########################################################## to harper -- "this is what you have sown...first 8 martyres israel has sent you" http://radio.indymedia.org/uploads/fsrn_cut.mp3 Canadian-Lebanese Community Rallies in Canada by Aaron Lakoff Free Speech Radio News: Lebanese-Canadian Community Rallies in Canada Canada has yet to take a formal position on the situation in the Middle East, but did begin its evacuation effort of about 50,000 Canadian nationals in Lebanon yesterday.

Kalonji: Who were the Soledad brothers? Shaka: George Jackson, Fleeta Drumgo and John Cluchette. They were charged with killing a prison guard in response to the guard killing three soldiers on the prison yard. The three soldiers were very prominent figures that inspired George himself. George took a lot of direction from W.L. Nolan, Alvin Miller and Cleveland Edwards. They were shot in the yard and left to bleed to death. All of this happened in 1970. A while later George’s book came out, which really thrust him into the public eye. As far as the history of those soldiers standing firm in the prison and those out here who stand firm with them — this was the period that really burned our commitment to the struggle. Prior to this, soldiers were being shot and stabbed. This was the beginning of tyranny on behalf of the guards. It was an all out assault on any of us who stood for freedom, liberation and the rights of the oppressed. Kalonji: This month is Black August. When was it started and why? Shaka: Black August began at the end of 1979. It began as a commemoration for all those who died after 1970 and all others who died in prison at the hands of the racist state. Khatari Gaulden, the leader who took over after George, was the last soldier to die that really set our hearts and minds to how black our conditions were inside. So we formed the concept Black August. On the inside, brothers fasted the days of the assassinations of the brothers (24-hour fast). On the other days, they didn’t eat until sundown. Physical training and education was increased. We formed the Black August Organizing Committee outside to commemorate the assassination of soldiers behind the wall and to make the outside community aware of the terror going on inside. We staged our first demonstration outside of San Quentin. That was the beginning of that type of Black August movement. Each year after the death of George and Jonathan, we made sure the guards knew we were there. We never let them forget. full interview: http://vancouver.indymedia.org/?q=en/node/1753 - Wed, 2 Aug 6:00am - Wed, 2 Aug 2006 11:07pm Edited: Sun, 6 Aug 2006 2:49pm | ||

| Lordpatch User Info... |  see UN Draft Resolution at: http://observer.guardian.co.uk/world/story/0,,1838369,00.html ******** Robert Fisk: This draft shows who is running America's policy... Israel Published: 07 August 2006 http://news.independent.co.uk/world/fisk/article1217413.ece So the great and the good on the East River laboured at the United Nations Security Council - and brought forth a lemon. You could almost hear the Lebanese groan at this draft resolution, a document of such bias and mendacity that a close Lebanese friend read carefully through it yesterday, cursed and uttered the immortal question: "Don't these bastards learn anything from history?" And there it all was again, the warmed-up peace proposals of Israel's 1982 invasion, full of buffer zones and disarmament and "strict respect by all parties" - a rousing chortle here, no doubt, from Hizbollah members - and the need for Lebanese sovereignty. It didn't even demand the withdrawal of Israeli forces, a point that Walid Moallem, Syria's Foreign Minister - and the man the Americans will eventually have to negotiate with - seized upon with more than alacrity. It was a dead UN resolution without a total Israeli retreat, he said on a strategic trip to Beirut. A close analysis of the American-French draft - the fingerprints of John Bolton, the US ambassador to the UN, were almost smudging the paragraphs - showed just who is running Washington's Middle East policy: Israel. And one wondered how even Tony Blair would want to associate himself with this nonsense. It made no reference to the obscenely disproportionate violence employed by Israel - just a sleek reference to "hundreds of deaths and injuries on both sides" - and it made only passing reference to Hizbollah's demand that it would only release the two Israeli soldiers it captured on 12 July in return for Lebanese and other Arab prisoners in Israeli jails. The Security Council said it was "mindful of the sensitivity of the issue of prisoners and encouraging the efforts aimed at settling the issue [sic] of the Lebanese prisoners detained in Israel". I bet Hizbollah were impressed by the "mindful" bit, not to mention the "sensitivity" and the soft, slippery word "settle" - an issue which can be "settled" in maybe 20 years' time. Then came the real coup de grâce. A demand for the "total cessation by Hizbollah of all attacks" and the "immediate cessation" by Israel of "all offensive military operations". Bit of a problem there, as Hizbollah spotted at once. They have to lay down their arms. Had the council demanded an immediate resolution on the future of the Shebaa farms, the Israeli-occupied territory which once belonged to mandate Lebanon - and for whose "liberation" the Hizbollah have fought - the whole fandango might have stood a chance. After all, Shebaa is the only raison d'être that the Hizbollah can produce for continuing their reckless, ruthless, illegal war across the UN blue line in southern Lebanon. But the UN document wished only to see a delineation of Lebanon's borders "including in the Shebaa farms area". There was even a wonderful paragraph - Number 9 for aficionados of UN bumf - which "calls on all parties to co-operate ... with the Security Council". So the Hizbollah are to co-operate, are they, with the austere diplomats of this august and wise body? Isn't that exalting a guerrilla army a little bit more upmarket than it deserves? No one was fooled and few disagreed with Syria's Walid Moallem when he said the UN's draft resolution was "a recipe for continuing the war". As both the Hizbollah and the Israelis did yesterday, the former killing 13 Israelis and the latter bombing houses in Ansar - once an Israeli POW camp - which destroyed five more Lebanese civilian lives. Mohamed Fneish, a Hizbollah government minister - who scarcely represents all Lebanese but talks as if he does - thundered away about how "we" [presumably the Hizbollah, rather than the Lebanese] will abide by it [the resolution] on condition that no Israeli soldiers remains inside Lebanese land." There were more Israeli air attacks on Beirut's southern suburbs yesterday - though heaven knows what is left there to destroy - ensuring that even more Shia Muslim civilians will remain refugees. Fearful that the Israelis will bomb their trucks and claim they were carrying missiles, the garbage collectors of this city have abandoned their vehicles and the familiar 1982 stench of burning rubbish now drifts through the evening streets. Petrol is now so scarce that a tank-full yesterday cost £250. About the only gift to Lebanon in the UN resolution was the expressed need to provide the UN with remaining Israeli maps of landmines in Lebanon. But Israel has again dropped lethal ordnance all over southern Lebanon. Oh yes, and as usual, the UN draft on these ambitious, hopelessly conceived ideas "decides to remain actively seized of the matter". You bet it does. And so, as they say, the war goes on. What the UN wants... * A full cessation of hostilities based upon, in particular, the cessation by Hizbollah of all attacks and the cessation by Israel of all offensive military operations; * Israel and Lebanon to support a permanent ceasefire and a long-term solution based on the following principles and elements: * Strict respect by all parties for the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Israel and Lebanon; * Full respect for the Blue Line by both parties; * Delineation of the international borders of Lebanon, especially in those areas where the border is disputed or uncertain, including in the Shebaa farms area; * Security arrangements to prevent the resumption of hostilities, including the establishment between the Blue Line and the Litani river of an area free of any armed personnel, assets and weapons other than those of the Lebanese armed and security forces, and of UN-mandated international forces; * Full implementation of the relevant provisions ... that require the disarmament of all armed groups in Lebanon; * Deployment of an international force in Lebanon; * The Secretary General to develop, in liaison with key international actors and the concerned parties, proposals to implement the relevant provisions ... and to present those proposals to the Security Council within 30 days; * The UN Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL), upon cessation of hostilities, to monitor its implementation and extend assistance to ensure humanitarian access to civilians and the safe return of displaced persons; * The government of Lebanon to ensure arms or related material are not imported into Lebanon without its consent and requests UNIFIL, conditions permitting, to assist the government of Lebanon at its request; * The Secretary-General to report to the Council within one week on the implementation and provide any relevant information in light of the Council's intention to adopt a further resolution.
