STOP THE SWEEPS - Portland 11 1 19 Leap Frogging Belongings Joe Anybody 2019-11-04 | A sweep of a houseless camp is in progress as I drive by on Nov1 2019 at 10 am in 40 degree weather. I can see that a person is leap frogging their belongings ahead of a couple trucks that are confiscating / stealing the belongings and personal affects of the "illegal camp". This was on McLaughlin Blvd on a chilly windy morning in Portland Oregon. The sweeps are inhumane and are not the correct way to treat people. Its a failing tactic that waste tax payers money. This is an example of Human Rights and Capitalism abuse on the poor and houseless by the city of Portland. There are solutions.

CLOSE GITMO Prison - 17 years - Portland Oregon protest 1 11 19 Joe Anybody 2019-01-16 | CLOSE GITMO 17 YEARS protest in Portland Oregon USA on 1 11 19 to demand the closing of Guantanamo Prison in Cuba. "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 notoriousdetention facility at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. Although at one point roughly770 prisoners were held, just 40 people remain in indefinite detention inthis legal no-man's land (Public Radio International, 12/11/18).Twenty-six --nearly two thirds--are considered "forever prisoners" whichmeans most have life sentences without having faced trial (WashingtonPost, 12/21/17). Three of the 40 have been cleared for release, butPresident Donald Trump refuses to allow it(closeguantanamo.org/Prisoners). Only four have been successfullyconvicted of crimes, while nine prisoners have died (Reprieve.org,8/19/18). Many have been exposed to harsh conditions that have beendescribed as torture, including the force feeding of hunger strikers. Manyof these techniques were confirmed in the 2014 Senate report on post-9/11CIA "interrogations."As President-Elect, Trump pledged to "load [Guantanamo] up with baddudes." In November 2017, he suggested the man who killed eight people bydriving 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%) werenot captured by US forces. Instead the Government filled the prison withpeople they bought for bounties. The US flew planes over parts ofAfghanistan and Pakistan offering $5,000 for any 'suspicious person.' Thisamounted to approximately seven years' average salary for most people inthe area, encouraging them to turn over innocent men in exchange for alife-changing amount of money. Since then, it has turned out they got itwrong most of the time. It didn't even take long for those in charge tosee their mistake-- as early as 2002, Guantanamo's operational commandercomplained that he was being sent too many 'Mickey Mouse' detainees."An art show at John Jay College in New York featuring paintings and otherart by detainees at Guantanamo made headlines in 2017. Many of thepaintings were based around the ocean, despite many of the prisoners neverhaving seen the ocean. When a hurricane came in 2014, the guardstemporarily took down tarps that had been blocking their views (New YorkTimes, 9/15/17). Once the paintings became internationally recognized, theUS declared no more art would be shared, and the detainees no longerlegally 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 peryear per inmate, climbing to an estimated $11 million per person in 2018."This means that it costs $29,000 per prisoner per night to keepGuantanamo 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 CCRnoting 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 ofindefinite detention without charge or trial."Today (Jan. 11, 2019) in Washington DC, AI, CCR, Code Pink, WitnessAgainst Torture and others had a mid-day rally. Rally promotionalmaterials say the goals are: "to close Guantanamo, and call for a stop tocruelty, fear, racism, islamophobia and lies."Continuing to hold people in an off-shore prison without prosecution is anunacceptable violation of human rights, which is inspiring people to takeaction against the United States in acts of so-called "terrorism." It ismaking us less safe, not more secure. If we want to "make America greatagain," it is far past time to shut Guantanamo prison down.This fact sheet prepared by Peace and Justice Works Iraq Affinity Group503-236-3065.http://www.pjw.info/guantanamo_17yl.html

11.3.18 Hardship Imposed on VENEZUELA - A report by Steve Ellner Joe Anybody 2018-11-26 | Steve Ellner: The Hardship Imposed on the Venezuelan People by US-Canadian Sanctions. 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. Brought by Campaign to End US-Canadian Sanctions Against Venezuela, Chicago ALBA Solidarity. Sponsored here by PCASC, Workers World, ILPS, Portland Jobs with Justice. Donations to cover costs, support campaign.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.

Homeland Security and Cop Watching on 10th street 3 29 18 in Portland Joe Anybody 2018-04-09 | On 3.29.18 I seen a half dozen Portland Police cars and a Homeland Security vehicle on SW 10th street by the Galleria Max stop. 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.Video is also uploaded on Archive dot org here: archive.org/details/CopwatchingOn10thStreet3.29.18And this is also posted on Portland Indymedia here: http://portland.indymedia.org/en/2018/04/435678.shtml

Carmenza Tez Juagibioy PCASC 4 15 17 Joe Anybody 2017-05-02 | Carmenza Tez - Juagiboy is an incredible woman indigenousleader in the Kamentsa community in Putumayo, Colombia. 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 thecenter of their attention.In the US, we have not noticed this road project thatwill bring more rapid global warming and ruin to the Amazon rain forest andrivers and valleys along its route, just like the pipelines and oil and coaltrains do here.Saturday April 15, 6-9pm Carmenza Tez-Juagibioy:IndigenousColombian Defender of Waters, Land, Communities, the Amazon.PSU SmithMemorial Student Union 338, Vanport Room. Dinner, presentation, dialogue withCarmenza.Sponsored byColombia Support Network and PSU Sustainability Leadership Network.Assistanceby PSU Students United for Nonviolence, Portland Central America Solidarity Network, Pacific Islander, Asian & Asian American Student Center, and others.This video is available to download or view her:archive.org/details/CarmenzaTezJuagibioy.PCASC4.15.17========================================Carmenza Tez-Juagibioy,Kamentsa Defenderof Waters, Land, Communities, and the AmazonThe 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-peopleshttp://colombiasupport.net/2014/10/mandate-of-the-kamentsa-and-in-accordance-with-their-system-of-justicehttp://colombiasupport.net/2015/11/3000http://colombiasupport.net/2015/12/the-engines-of-deforestation-and-investments-in-the-colombian-amazonhttp://colombiasupport.net/2016/03/kamentsa-rights-violatedhttp://www.consiliencejournal.org/index.php/consilience/article/viewFile/152/56http://colombiasupport.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/Newsletter-Spring-2016-3.pdf Please be generous - Support our work!

TAR SANDS VALVE-TURNERS - Speaking In Portland on 11-16-16 Joe Anybody 2017-02-02 | TAR SANDS VALVE TURNERS - portland 11-16-16On 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.

Outed Pervert in Pioneer Courtyard Square Runs Away - Portland Oregon J20 Joe Anybody 2017-01-21 | 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.I posted this on Portland Indymedia here:

Man with umbrella hits Trimet passenger Joe Anybody 2016-12-13 | 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)
