The National Conference of Organized Resistance is an annual event that brings together people from all backgrounds for three days of learning and discussing local and global social justice issues through workshops, panel discussions, skillshares and actions. NCOR is held on the main campus of American University in northwest Washington, DC.

It has been the interest of many anti-authoritarian / anarchist people of color (apoc) to hold at least two planned meetings during NCOR this year. The first meeting is planned for Saturday, March 7 from 11:10am - 12:40pm and the second meeting is planned for Sunday, March 8 from 12:50pm - 1:50pm (during lunch). Locations for these meetings are to be announced. These will be closed meetings for anarchist / anti-authoritarian people of color ONLY.

Wednesday Mar 5, 7PM @ 2640 (2640 St. Paul St.)

The American economy is in shambles, with a spiraling debt crisis, a vanishing industrial base, and a plummeting dollar. And, as the debacle of the occupation of Iraq continues to demonstrate, the US is finding it increasingly difficult to keep the rest of the world under its hegemonic thumb through military intervention. Giovanni Arrighi's new book, Adam Smith in Beijing, situates this global decline of US power within the context of a epochal shift in the world-system away from North American dominance and towards Asia. Is China the real winner of the "War on Terror"? Is it possible to see, in China's startling emergence as a preeminent economic power on the world stage, something other than neoliberal capitalism running rampant? What new possibilities and challenges are in store for struggles against imperialism and exploitation on a less and less US-centric globe?

The Party for Socialism and Liberation (PSL) is fielding a slate of candidates in the 2008 U.S. presidential elections: Gloria La Riva for President and Eugene Puryear for Vice President. The campaign expresses its strong support for the proposal to the Brattleboro, Vt. Annual Town Meeting to indict President Bush and Vice President Cheney for gross violations of international and U.S. law.

One more indicator of just what kind of special interest liars are running America...the only reason hemp marijuana is illegal is to protect the profits of the depraved traitors like the rockefellers and bush worms....yeah, all the chemicals they are spraying alongwith the mind control phased array EM smog (Count the antennae!) they are creating are GOOD for you! Just like pot is BAD for you! Cheap sleazy lying pieces of garbage, the whole bunch of them...

A brief reportback on the February 27th City Center Sheraton UNITE-HERE! picket and demonstration for adequate rights, job security, decent wages, and affordable health care.

Did you know that the wealth of Hillary and Bill Clinton is now estimated at $54 million? Pretty good, considering he was in debt when he left the White House. In any event, Hillary’s bid to capture the Democratic Party’s presidential nod is fading faster than the value of the U.S. dollar. In the debates, she’s come across as abrasive. Her attack dog tactics are failing. If Sen. Barack Obama carries Texas and Ohio, will Hillary fold? Stay tuned!

When it comes to health insurance will Obama listen to lobbyists ( Like Daddy's Little Baby who thinks he should reside in the White House) or will he listen to all of the people?
