U.S. Military aid under Plan Colombia has been sold to the
U.S. public as part of the war on drugs. In actuality, the
forces under Montoya’s command are engaged in a
counter-insurgency war against leftist guerillas. The aid is
directed to troops taking offensive action against guerillas
in areas targeted for coca fumigation. Evidence shows that
these offensives often happen in conjunction with paramilitary
attacks. Robert Zoellick, a top foreign policy advisor to
President Bush, was recently quoted as saying, “We cannot
continue to make a false distinction between
counter-insurgency and counter-narcotics.” |

National Day of Direct Action to Insure access
to Medical Marijuana |
|
National Day of Direct Action June 6th
Push back the DEAs expanding war on Americans!
Keep medical marijuana safe and legal!
Thursday, June 6, 2002 at noon at your local DEA outpost.
Click
here for a list.
What is it?
It is a nation-wide day of action to push back DEA attempts to
re-criminalize medical cannabis! On or after June 6th, 2002
the DEA will attempt to shut down dispensaries now legally
providing medical cannabis to patients in California. To
respond, activists in cities across the nation will use
creative, non-violent tactics to disrupt DEA offices and post
their own "cease and desist" orders at DEA outposts. Through
this action, we will build an "emergency response" network of
committed activists to escalate our resistance to the Federal
Governments expanding war on democracy and patients in need of
safe access to medical marijuana. |

31ST ANNUAL MIDWEST MARIJUANA HARVEST FESTIVAL |
|
THOUSANDS EXPECTED IN DOWNTOWN MADISON,
WISCONSON
The 31st Annual Great Midwest Marijuana Harvest Festival
intends to inform the public of the harms caused by the
prohibition of Marijuana. The event will present and produce
rational alternatives to our current failed drug policies,
provide a forum for a wide range of reform, civil rights, harm
reduction, and political organizations, and produce a festive
atmosphere in celebration of the Cannabis plant.
Speakers at this year's extended two-day event will include
several nationally known drug policy reform activists: Elvy
Musikka, one of seven
surviving patients who receive 300 pre-rolled marijuana
cigarettes each month from the federal government in a program
that was closed to new
participants in 1992; Steve Silverman, the director of Flex
Your Rights (www.flexyourrights.com), a Washington D.C. based
educational organization
that provides information and workshops on protecting
individuals' liberties from overzealous law enforcement
officials; and Valerie Gremillion, from the Global Dialog
Project (www.global-dialog.org), who will address
constitutional concerns revolving around last year's USA
Patriot Act.
In addition to these and other national speakers, a variety of
Wisconsin activists will cover subjects including: efforts to
pass medical marijuana
legislation, local drug policy reform; and emerging drug
treatment alternatives. Various state and local political
officials and candidates will also address the crowd at the
two stages event.
Along with speakers, live bands and dj's will entertain
attendees with a wide variety of music genres. Activist
workshops will be held concurrently over both days of the
event. A wide range of cultural activities will also be
offered at the festival.
The two-day festival will conclude with the traditional march
up State Street to the State Capitol at 3:00 pm on Sunday.
