This was the bulk of the crowd just after the speakers stopped speaking, with the insular International League of Peoples’ Struggle (ILPS) camera left, out of frame.

[The Mustard Seed] links for 2009-03-24 « The Mustard Seed: "HEAVY METAL IN BAGHDAD is a feature film documentary that follows the Iraqi heavy metal band Acrassicauda from the fall of Saddam Hussein in 2003 to the present day.

[Kasama] On the Party: Ben’s How-To « Kasama: At times, it has seemed as if the key element of the “New Synthesis” is the “method and approach,” of Bob Avakian, at least according to enthusiastic Party supporters. This was clear to me and others when I was told over and over and over that the main thing to study in Avakian’s writings was his “method and approach.”

[ILPS Online] ILPS Online : Central Info Bureau : Statements : Message to the ...: But the American people are already disgusted by the US genocidal attacks on the Iraqi people, the gross human rights violations inflicted by the imperialists and puppets and the rising number of US casualties (even as these are understated at the moment as over 2,300 killed and over 17,000 wounded). The US is now in an absurd position of spending heavily on its war adventure, without any certainty of recouping the expenditures by profiting from Iraqi oil resources.

[Hyphen Blog] Why We March: We connect the issues we face here to the war in Iraq knowing, like Congresswoman Barbara Lee, that it is out of this world for the U.S. to spend trillions of dollars on an illegal war while 37 million Americans live in poverty and over 47 million live without health insurance.[2] Or in the wise rhymes of Tupac Shakur: They got money for wars, but can’t feed the poor. This on top of unjust deportations, raids, and detentions that many families in our communities have suffered through since 9/11.

[Kasama] Election Illusions, McCain’s Attraction, and Revolutionary Hope ...: As far as Frank’s comments–I was initially pleased to see Frank comment here but had hoped that Frank might have supported my assertion that the speakers at the main WCW event in Seattle promoted certain fundamental liberal principles (ie: such as that it was possible to change the nature of the Democratic Party or use the Democratic Party to stop the war in Iraq) and were not effectively opposed by other speakers — since I think Frank was there and Frank is generally a fairly astute observer of this kind of thing.
