Well, it appears that I will not make it to DC in time to participate in the U.S. Prisons seminar due to SNOW in Atlanta!!!!! I was born and raised in Georgia and this is the most snow I have seen except for that freak blizzard a generation ago!! I've posted video of the snow on <a href="http://dignity.ning.com" target="_blank">http://dignity.ning.com</a> which proves that I'm just as bad as all those tv announcers who run with their cameras to north Georgia when one snowflake is spotted. Those of you who are shoveling feet of snow right now, please forgive my enthusiasm for this one-day dusting. It is soooo beautiful. Makes you wonder why we tolerate the adulteration of our planet. The temperature is supposed to climb sufficiently to melt it all away later today.<br>
<br>So, I will not participate in the seminar; that's too bad because Ralph Schoenman just introduced me to material pointing to Mossad and the FBI as likely culprits in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing for which a Muslim cleric is now imprisoned and I wanted to broach this at the Seminar because attorney Lynne Stewart now sits in prison for representing that cleric. How many government lies and government-inspired travesties must be uncovered before the American people act to save the soul of this country?<br>
<br>I will participate by video in the Mumia Abu-Jamal teach-in scheduled for today from noon until 5:00 pm. I hope to go on around 2:00 pm. Here's the info on the teach-in:<br><br><i>“Prison is a second-by-second assault on the soul, a day-to-day
degradation of the self, an oppressive steel and brick umbrella that
transforms seconds into hours and hours into days.” </i>--Mumia Abu Jamal<br>
<br>
Activists from Philadelphia, across the U.S. and around the globe will
take part in an important video streaming, video conferencing and live
teach-in on February 13 to take up the next stage in the struggle to
free Mumia Abu-Jamal.<br>
<br>
Updates will be provided on the latest legal developments including the
Jan. 19 U.S. Supreme Court decision that opens the way for the
reinstatement of the death sentence.<br>
<br>
Information will be provided for those unfamiliar with this important
case of the U.S.'s most prominent political prisoner and action
proposals will be discussed including a global petition campaign
calling on U.S. Attorney Eric Holder to open an investigation into
civil rights violations in this case.<br>
<br>
Other proposals will discuss activities to reach out to and educate
students and youth; and for events from April to July including
teach-ins and protests. <br>
<br>
Participants will include Cynthia McKinney, the Honorable Minister
Louis Farrakhan, Linn Washington, Ramona Africa, numerous international
representatives, and many more.<br>
