Target Obama's Drone Program for Protest Campaign
The protests will begin on April 3 with a rally in New York, followed by
three days of protest outside the facilities of companies that make
drones, including at San Diego-based General Atomics which makes
Predator and Reaper drones.
Later in the month, protests will take place at universities and other
institutions that conduct research into drones or help train drone
pilots and operators. At the end of the month, rallies and
demonstrations will target military bases in the US from where drones
operate, including Hancock air base near Syracuse, New York.

#GOLDMAN Senate Investigation Singles Out Goldman Sachs, Finds 'Rampant Conflicts of Interest' Responsible for Financial Crisis
Adbusters, the group that helped kick-start Occupy, is launching a campaign against Goldman Sachs, "the most powerful and unrepentant of the financial fraudsters," and its 73 offices around the world. #GOLDMAN is an indefinite real-time, live-action game wherein protests will win points for "speed, spectacle, courage, and innovation." Since helping crash the economy, Goldman has already been investigated, fined $550 million, and mock-tried by Chris Hedges, Cornel West and Occupy. Richly deserved, all.

Food Not Bombs activists in Indonesia shared the Master Plan
formulated by The Boston Consulting Group at One Beacon Street Boston,
Massachusetts which will cause much poverty and distruction of the
beautiful landscape in Indonesia. Huge coal and gold mines connected to
new sea ports by a system of trains will drive thousands from their land

stopped. Please organize in your community, outside all Indonesian
embassies and the offices of Boston Consulting. World wide dates of
action comming soon. STOP BOSTON

Global Day of Action on
Military Spending Monday, April 15, 2013
We are organizing a Global Day of Action on Military Spending
each year in April to coincide with the release of the Stockholm
International Peace Research Institutes (SIPRI) annual figures on world
military expenditures. It is also Tax Day in the US. In 2013, GDAMS will
take place on Monday, April 15. On this day, people on all continents
will join together in joint actions to focus public, political, and
media attention on the costs of military spending and the need for new
priorities. Such events will help us to build an international network
around this issue. demilitarize.org
Idle No
More
Idle No More calls on all people to join in a revolution which
honors and fulfills Indigenous sovereignty which protects the land and
water. Colonization continues through attacks to Indigenous rights and
damage to the land and water. We must repair these violations, live the
spirit and intent of the treaty relationship, work towards justice in
action, and protect Mother Earth. Idle No More

Enough Is Enough: N3 National Day of
Action
Food Not Bombs, more than a meal, we are a movement with a message.
Feed your local Solidarity Against Austerity action on November 3rd
On November 3rd Occupy Portland and the Portland Action Lab invites all
people to mobilize, march, and take direct action against austerity.
Corporations control our governments, hoard wealth, privatize our
community resources, and burden us with enormous debt. This is AUSTERITY
and we say Enough is Enough! We resist 1% austerity budgets at all
levels, creating massive cuts to education, healthcare, and other social
services. Our power is in our neighborhoods, building alternatives, and
taking to the streets! Let the wealthy and corporations pay for the
crisis they created. No matter who is elected, we are part of building a
movement where our communities will make our own decisions and control
our own resources. On November 3rd, we vote with our feet! Solidarity
against austerity! Contact us at Solidarity Against
Austerity - November 3rd. Strike Debt. Resist Cuts. Empower Communities.

GLOBAL
Sharing food with the actions on the 22nd of each
month.
It is modeled on the next steps of the successful student anti-austerity
movement in Quebec which ousted the government, repealed an anti-protest
law and stopped tuition increases. This movement organized through
building networks in universities, then leafletting in the streets,then
marching regularly in the Casseroles marches, then creating neighborhood
assemblies and now: Via 22! They are encouraging people around the globe
to organize monthly marches on the 22nd day of each month.
Choose your local issue. Perhaps a different one each month. The
difference from a typical march, is that you are encouraged to hold a
discussion after the march on the issue and you can share your photos,
videos and more on the new global website.

Very real threat that the U.S./Israeli war on Iran could escalate this
spring.
The U.S and Israel have been waging a bombing
campaign inside Iran for months. In early December 2012 the United
States started to claim Iran's friends in Syria was planning to use chemical weapons providing a reason for
intervention. Several scientists have been killed and there has been at
least one recent bombing of a military base killing 16 officers. Iran
has invited the United Nations in to inspect their nuclear program and
experts agree that Iran is NOT seeking to build a nuclear bomb. Just as
we saw before the invasion of Iraq a number of false claims are being
made by the Obama Administration. Unlike Iraq this war could lead to an
increase in oil prices causing the economy to crash. Russia and China
have agreed to defend Iran is the U.S. and Israel continue their
attacks. The U.S. is also providing arms to one faction fighting against
the dictator of Syria causing a division in the opposition. Iran has
supported the Syrian government for years. Covert war against Syria is
really aimed at ousting the government of Iran. That might be fine
except the replacement will be a U.S. dictator like the Shah.
War with Iran could cause an economic crisis and lead to a
global Great Depression and as China's military claims spark World
War III. Iran crisis: Can
conflict be averted?
EMERGENCY!
ATTENTION ALL THAT LIVE IN THE UNITED STATES - FOR SOME REASON OBAMA IS
RAPIDLY PREPARING FOR MARTIAL LAW
The NDAA's
Historic Assault on American Liberty The NDAA took
effect on March 3, 2012. This is the gravest threat to the freedom of
all Americans since the emergency laws during the U.S. Civil War. The
Constitutional right to trial and the end of a century old law banning
the use of the military on U.S. soil came to an end on March 3, 2012.
The president has awarded the military extraordinary powers to detain US
citizens without trial! This is just one of many new laws, regulations
and plans being rushed into being by the Obama administration. Not only
did he sign the NDAA giving the military the right to arrest any one
even Americans and hold them without trial he opened U.S. air space to
police drones in mid- January allowing New York City, Houston and Los
Angeles to watch the pubic in a host of new ways. Obama is offering
large grants to all local police departments to buy their own fleet of
drones.
His administration also started a program to increase intelligence
cooperation between the Department of Homeland Security and local,
county and state intelligence units. Obama hosted a meeting on January
18th at the White House inviting city police chiefs to coordinate
efforts against domestic radicalization. He also started a secret panel
that can can put Americans on "kill list." On January 26, 2012
Obama announced an FBI program to scrap information from social networks
to build profiles of domestic radicalization which appears to include
participants in the occupation movement. Obama also ordered a strategy
for protecting national supply chain on that same Thursday. Obama also
signed the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement which sounds fine until
one realizes it can lead to the arrest of people saving seeds in
violation of Monsanto's property rights.
On a more directly Food Not Bombs related level we started to get
emails reporting that the police in several areas of the United States
stopped people from sharing food with the hungry. One woman in Daytona
Beach started a petition drive after she was threatened with six months
in jail for handing our sandwiches. A vegan rights activist was
threatened with arrest in Los Angeles for handing out packaged samples
of vegan food. Food Not Bombs activists in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina
were told they would be arrested if they continued their weekly meal.
The city of Chicago passed laws designed to give police more powers
during the NATO/G-8 protests. Obama has not publicly asked his former
chief of staff Rahm Emanuel to respect the rights of those planning to
peacefully protest against the harsh economic and military policies of
those two organizations. PLEASE REVIEW THESE ARTICLES FOR
