Come to Denver when the Democrats Meet: Protest August 23-28
World
Can’t Wait will support many of those actions, and in addition, is planning
events related to Bringing the Bush Program to a HALT.

Only you –not your government– can bring
any of this to a halt. The only realistic course is for the
people of the U.S. to taking meaningful and independent political action to
resist the machinery of war and the fascist direction that has emerged.
Come to Denver for a week of protest that includes marching to stand with
immigrants under assault and counter-protests to the week of anti-abortion
actions of the Christian right. Join in contingents, film showings, street
protests, strategy sessions, and more.

SHADOW ANTHROPOLOGY: A Post-9/11 Comedy
Written and Directed by
Rick Mitchell
Presented in Los Angeles, January 15-February 25,
at Son of Semele Theater, by Urban Ensemble
(“an outstanding ensemble,” –LA Weekly)
For tix and more info: http:// http://www.sonofsemele.org/ccf2011.html
As a poor Afghan family struggles to hold onto its farm in spite of a drought, a warlord offers possible solutions, including a more profitable crop, as well as an odd marriage proposal for the farmer’s young daughter. Soon thereafter, an idealistic anthropologist from Puerto Rico teams up with an opium-loving American mercenary as part of a U.S. Army Human Terrain Team. While the visitors attempt to create a more “culturally sensitive” military occupation of Afghanistan, various characters and bawdy shadow puppets battle it out for who controls not only the story, but also the land. A satirical examination of the U.S. military’s “new” post-9/11 strategy to win Afghan hearts and minds, this dark comedy features original songs, Turkish-style shadow puppetry, and Spam.
Son of Semele Theater, 3301 Beverly Blvd., Los Angeles, CA 90004

Murder is murder no matter what color you paint it. If you don\’t want to have a baby don\’t have sex.
Who are the insane people progandizing the “no borders” and “immigration” crap?
Compare the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq and Iran (and now Russia) produced by Queen George and Princess Dick (the election losing imposters, war criminals, and foreign policy terrorists )and all their collaborating traitors, with the invasion, occupation, and stealing of we United States citizen’s resources by the 50,000,000+ CRIMINAL FOREIGN ILLEGAL TRESPASSING PARASITES: WHO HAVE CAUSED MOST OF THE UNITED STATES TO BE AN OVER-POPULATED, POLLUTED, LITTERED, SLUM-INFESTED, CRIME-RIDDEN MESS.
If you don’t see that every foreign country in the world has an imperialist foreign policy against the United States, deporting their residents to invade, occupy, and steal resources ( products and services: housing, food, clothing , health care, motor vehicles, space, and JOBS, etc.) you’re not observing and thinking correctly, and you’re a collaborating traitor too.
