"Close Guantanamo: Still America's Shame."
FACT SHEET:
CLOSE GUANTANAMO: Still Americas' Shame (January 11, 2019)
January 11 marks exactly 17 years since the U.S. opened its notorious detention facility at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. Although at one point roughly 770 prisoners were held, just 40 people remain in indefinite detention in this legal no-man's land (Public Radio International, 12/11/18). Twenty-six --nearly two thirds--are considered "forever prisoners" which means most have life sentences without having faced trial (Washington Post, 12/21/17). Three of the 40 have been cleared for release, but President Donald Trump refuses to allow it (closeguantanamo.org/Prisoners). Only four have been successfully convicted of crimes, while nine prisoners have died (Reprieve.org, 8/19/18). Many have been exposed to harsh conditions that have been described as torture, including the force feeding of hunger strikers. Many of these techniques were confirmed in the 2014 Senate report on post-9/11 CIA "interrogations."
As President-Elect, Trump pledged to "load [Guantanamo] up with bad dudes." In November 2017, he suggested the man who killed eight people by driving into them with his truck in New York should be put there as an "enemy combatant" even though he wasn't captured on a field of battle (BBC, 11/1/17).
Reprieve notes: "The vast majority of detainees in Guantanamo (86%) were not captured by US forces. Instead the Government filled the prison with people they bought for bounties. The US flew planes over parts of Afghanistan and Pakistan offering $5,000 for any 'suspicious person.' This amounted to approximately seven years' average salary for most people in the area, encouraging them to turn over innocent men in exchange for a life-changing amount of money. Since then, it has turned out they got it wrong most of the time. It didn't even take long for those in charge to see their mistake-- as early as 2002, Guantanamo's operational commander complained that he was being sent too many 'Mickey Mouse' detainees."
An art show at John Jay College in New York featuring paintings and other art by detainees at Guantanamo made headlines in 2017. Many of the paintings were based around the ocean, despite many of the prisoners never having seen the ocean. When a hurricane came in 2014, the guards temporarily took down tarps that had been blocking their views (New York Times, 9/15/17). Once the paintings became internationally recognized, the US declared no more art would be shared, and the detainees no longer legally owned them (NY Times, 11/27/17).
Guantanamo has been referred to as "the most expensive prison on earth," with the Miami Herald reporting in 2011 that it then cost $800,000 per year per inmate, climbing to an estimated $11 million per person in 2018. "This means that it costs $29,000 per prisoner per night to keep Guantanamo open - far more than any federal prison" (Reprieve.org). Overall, the cumulative costs from 2002 to today are well over $3 billion.
Amnesty International (AI), the Center for Constitutional Rights (CCR), and others continue to call for the prison to be shut down, with CCR noting in 2014 that the (supposed) end of combat operations in Afghanistan "should guide the closing of the prison and bring a swift end to years of indefinite detention without charge or trial."
Today (Jan. 11, 2019) in Washington DC, AI, CCR, Code Pink, Witness Against Torture and others had a mid-day rally. Rally promotional materials say the goals are: "to close Guantanamo, and call for a stop to cruelty, fear, racism, islamophobia and lies."
Continuing to hold people in an off-shore prison without prosecution is an unacceptable violation of human rights, which is inspiring people to take action against the United States in acts of so-called "terrorism." It is making us less safe, not more secure. If we want to "make America great again," it is far past time to shut Guantanamo prison down.

Talk, discussion with Steve Ellner - author of numerous books and professor at Universidad De Oriente in Venezuela from 1977 to 2003, is touring the US to give a presentation on the recent events in Venezuela and how people there are coping with hyper-inflation as well as food and medicine shortages.

The Bolivarian Revolution, started by Hugo Chavez in 1999, and now led by President Nicolas Maduro, has been in the bulls-eye of attacks by the Venezuelan opposition, the US administration, and the European Union. The US and European sanctions have been an economic strangle hold that has caused the Venezuelan economy to crumble. Economic sanctions prevent the normal flow of payments for goods; causing shortages and hyper-inflation, as much as more than 1,000%. Venezuelans have resorted to migration to neighboring countries to look for a better life, this has created a shortage of human talent in Venezuela which affects infrastructure (water, electricity, gas). The main Venezuelan industry, oil, due to lack of talented resources, cut production in half.11 10 18 copwatching - handcuffed homeless man and a security guardJoe Anybody2018-11-16 | Portland police show up to assist a homeless man whom a aggressive {?} private security guard has engaged with (before i started filming)

Honduran Jazz Singer, Karla Lara: Let's Live Life Singing Sunday April 22nd 2018 12:00 p.m.-4:30 p.m. Leaven Community Center
It is a time of gathering and strength. With our bodies, thoughts and feelings we gather around the body and the example of those who have been stolen from us, pain and strength converted to chant and song to cry out with life in the face of this patriarchal war that kills us. Berta, Margarita, Mirelle, indigenous and black women, targeted because of their struggle against capitalism, racism and patriarchy.
Our bodies find each other and agree to live, because as the Zapatista women said in their recent gathering, let’s commit to live, and since life is struggle, let’s commit to struggle, and since we sing to struggle and struggle to be able to sing, let’s live life singing!! And as Berta would say, time’s running out humanity, and as Margarita sewed seeds and harvested struggles, and as Mirelle said, how many more black lives will it take them to consolidate their racist, homophobic culture of death.
We sing about ways of being, about the times, about all of our worlds, and our demand for true justice for our assassinated sisters and freedom for our political prisoners.

I started filming at 5:39 PM.
There were two men who were handcuffed. One in a stairwell corner and one already inside a police SUV. They were both taken from the scene by ambulance, there also was one handcuffed lady, who was released. I over heard (while filming) words like heroin, having warrants, a shooting under the bridge. I noticed three Target employees / security talking with the police. The one Homeland Security officer was standing and watching the handcuffed lady. He was not being aggressive or engaging, he casually slipped away unnoticed around 4 minutes into the video. I captured a police officer un-cuffing the lady and handing the handcuffs to the Homeland Security Officer at 3:58 in the video.
The police totally ignored me as I filmed. (In the last minute of this video) I asked why there was a Homeland Security officer at the scene one cop told me he didn't know and to ask them. The Police Sargent I asked, didn't really know either, he said that the Portland Police didn't call Homeland Security, but they do get involved / assist if there is something going on that they are around.

*State and Corporate Surveillance Capabilities (Law 281) We will provide case examples, tips, and traps regarding government and corporate surveillance of climate activists and frontline communities, their campaigns, and their lawyers, and why everyone needs to take security issues seriously to be a serious activist, advocate or attorney. We will overview known and suspected surveillance capabilities of state and corporate opponents and provide guidance on developing a digital security threat model..
From an initial gathering of just fifteen speakers and seventy-five participants in 1983, we have grown to become the world’s biggest public interest environmental law conference.
With assistance from keynoters, panelists, and participants alike, we plan to inspire a renewed commitment to collaboration and outreach among conference attendees. We expect the conference to enhance the success of environmental lawyers and to contribute to a more vigorous movement that resonates across society.
The Public Interest Environmental Law Conference is the premier annual gathering for environmentalists worldwide, and is distinguished as the oldest and largest of its kind. The Conference historically unites more than 3,000 activists, attorneys, students, scientists, and concerned citizens from over 50 countries around the globe to share their experience and expertise. The Conference is organized solely by the volunteers of Land Air Water (LAW), a student environmental law society at the University of Oregon School of Law, and is co-sponsored by Friends of Land Air Water (FLAW), a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization.
The four-day Conference in Eugene, Oregon, includes over 125 panels, workshops, and multi-media presentations addressing a broad spectrum of environmental law and advocacy. Topics include: forest protection and ecological restoration, grazing and mining reform, labor and human rights, air and water pollution, Native American treaty rights, globalization and “free” trade, environmental justice, corporate responsibility, marine wilderness, international environmental law, water rights and dam removal, oil and gas litigation, genetic engineering, and urban growth.
Each day of the Conference culminates with keynote presentations from preeminent activists, scientists, politicians, philosophers, and authors. Past keynote speakers include Robert Kennedy, Ralph Nader, David Brower, Terry Tempest Williams, Ward Churchill, Vandana Shiva, Paul Watson, Winona LaDuke, Gerry Spence, Ramona Africa, Paul Hawken, and several recipients of the international Goldman Environmental Prize.

She has led the defense of her community's territory or what is left of it from all kinds of abuses from the Colombian government and the Catholic Church that they have suffered for centuries. Currently the recovery of lands and the struggle to stop the construction of a road that will destroy the Amazon rain forest forever is the center of their attention.
In the US, we have not noticed this road project that will bring more rapid global warming and ruin to the Amazon rain forest and rivers and valleys along its route, just like the pipelines and oil and coal trains do here.
Saturday April 15, 6-9pm Carmenza Tez-Juagibioy:
Indigenous Colombian Defender of Waters, Land, Communities, the Amazon.
PSU Smith Memorial Student Union 338, Vanport Room. Dinner, presentation, dialogue with Carmenza.
Sponsored by Colombia Support Network and PSU Sustainability Leadership Network.
Assistance by PSU Students United for Nonviolence, Portland Central America Solidarity Network, Pacific Islander, Asian & Asian American Student Center, and others.
Carmenza Tez-Juagibioy, Kamentsa Defenderof Waters, Land, Communities, and the Amazon The governments of South America are involved in planning this "road" that will mean the beginning of the end for the Amazon region. The particular road they struggle against is being built from Belen de Para in Brazil to end in Tumaco on the Colombian Pacific coast. Globalization here means giving Brazil access to the Pacific Ocean via this road and the use of rivers also. Very little is known or discussed in the US about this situation, which will affect the whole planet. This is why we invited Carmenza. We wish to build solidarity and organize with organizations with interest in this particular case and in all globalization (invasive extraction of wealth) issues, particularly ones dealing with indigenous issues and the environment. A very important goal for this visit is to put her in contact with indigenous nations in the United States so they can not only know of her leadership and her community situation but also participate in a struggle so common to most indigenous communities throughout the world and particularly in this hemisphere. With the "peace agreements" that have disarmed guerrillas, the extreme right has declared a war on community leaders like Carmenza and this puts her in serious danger. So many are being assassinated. We would like her to be known here and to have a network of communities helping to protect her. some links related to the issue : http://colombiasupport.net/2010/10/declaration-by-the-inga-and-kamentsa-peoples http://colombiasupport.net/2014/10/mandate-of-the-kamentsa-and-in-accordance-with-their-system-of-justice http://colombiasupport.net/2015/11/3000 http://colombiasupport.net/2015/12/the-engines-of-deforestation-and-investments-in-the-colombian-amazon http://colombiasupport.net/2016/03/kamentsa-rights-violated http://www.consiliencejournal.org/index.php/consilience/article/viewFile/152/56 http://colombiasupport.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/Newsletter-Spring-2016-3.pdf Please be generous - Support our work!

On October 11, 2016, five brave climate activists, determined to act commensurately with the truth of unfolding climate cataclysm in the face of the failure of adequate policy, closed safety valves on the 5 pipelines carrying tar sands crude oil into the United States.
This act of climate disobedience shut down 15% of US crude oil imports for nearly a day - a display of the sorts of shifts that are necessary to avoid complete cataclysm. In this light, the five valve-turners are standing by their actions, saying that they are not only necessary, but morally and legally justified to avoid the catastrophic harm caused to humanity by unprecedented climactic disruption.
In order to ensure that the pipelines would be safely shut down, a call was placed to each company's emergency response and control number fifteen minutes before valve turners entered the sites, apprising them of the situation and giving them ample time to shut each pipeline down.
All are facing felony charges with potential sentences of decades in prison and tens of thousands of dollars in fines, but the valve turners remain resolute: It was the right thing to do, because the consequences of inaction and climate cataclysm far and away outweigh the personal consequences.

FULL 8 min VIDEO IS HERE: youtu.be/amP7kR-dKSoOuted Pervert in Pioneer Courtyard Square Runs Away - Portland Oregon J20Joe Anybody2017-01-21 | In Pioneer Courthouse Square listening to speeches... I see a older man swoop up close right behind two teenage girls. I thought he was either a real good friend or a creep. (a creep he was!)
As I looked at his lower waist area I could see he was lightly pressed against the girl. I could see he was in fact a male and he was no doubt touching her. I turned the camera on but apparently didn't have it pointed up to capture the inappropriate touching.
I then decide to face him from the side and I held my camera up towards his face ....he notice it and quickly turns and leaves. As he is leaving I call him a pervert and he turns his pace to a run and makes it to the next block.

1 min short Out-Take version here youtu.be/VjbQMmc_RT8Driving across the Hawthorne Bridge in 32° weatherJoe Anybody2016-12-16 | A short video of driving across the Hawthorne Bridge in Portland Oregon It is 32° out and sunny no problems driving at 1PM in the afternoonMan with umbrella hits Trimet passengerJoe Anybody2016-12-13 | This man previously to this video clip swung an umbrella at a lady who then put her foot up to protect herself from this big loud man- whereupon this man grabbed her leg and pulled her off the seat. He threatened me and others before he left the Blue Max train 12/13/16 around 6:20am 3rd n Oak.
He swings his umbrella at 0:59 and hits a person sitting by the door (camera doesn't show it but you can hear it)
Prior to all this when this man got on he walked by my seat and whacked his umbrella on my seat and i spoke up up. He then 5 min later threw his empty coffee cup across the isle at some ladies sitting on the train, a lady next to me and I both called him out on it. That's when he attacked the lady next to me. (she is ok and so is the man who was hit by the umbrella)
