KNOW YOUR HISTORY - March 2nd
1899 -- US Congress allows railroad companies blanket approval for rights- of-way through Indian lands.
1964 -- Actor Marlon
Brando arrested at a "fish-in" at Frank's Landing, Washington, in support of Native American fishing rights. There is little popular white support, not even progressives or leftists who supported Negro civil rights. Later, another celebrity, comedian Dick
Gregory, joins this Native American struggle. In 2004, The Indian leader of this fishing rights struggle, Billy
Frank is awarded the American Indian Visionary Award by the newspaper Indian Country Today.
2005 -- Professor of law, history and religion, author and visionary Vine

RHINO SEZ:
I'm writing from the nation's capitol, here for the presentation of The
American Indian Visionary Award to Vine Deloria Jr. (see the Know Your History
section for more on this).
One of this fine city's citizens is the man John Stewart has so correctly deemed
the "Scumbag For Democracy," Robert
Novak. To hear this man claim in the latest
Vanity Fair that he is doing the lord's work is enough to make a Rhino gag on
his vegetables. (Rhinos are vegetarians you know).

This from the creep that did the Warlords' dirty work in outing CIA agent Valerie Plane, and has enough pull with the shrub gang that he remains at large even though much less-involved "journalists" are going to jail in that case. And now Novak is part of the gang's propaganda machine preparing the US for an attack against Venezuela and other Latin American countries. Venezuela seems to be right alongside Iran as upcoming sequels to Iraq. The following piece dissects Novak's recent column entitled, "Latin America's Infection." The piece offers encouragement (and so does the Rhino) for you to write your favorite media outlets to counter his packs of lies. It also offers talking points to use in that effort and for other uses as this threat grows.
Columnist Novak's "Big Lies" Set Stage for Nicaragua/Venezuela Interventions
By PAUL KRUGMAN, NY Times, February 18, 2005
Syndicated columnist Robert Novak published a column, "Latin America's Infection," in newspapers across the United States today, Feb. 24, 2005. Not since Otto Reich was running the Nicaragua disinformation campaign from the State Department in the 1980s has such a pack of lies and distortions appeared in the corporate media..
Novak uses the "big lie" technique developed by the Nazi propaganda machine and honed to perfection by Reich. "Latin America's Infection" is such a distortion of reality that countering it takes far more words than Novak used to construct his work of fiction. Nevertheless, such lies cannot go unanswered. In 16 column inches of vitriol, Novak manages to slime progressive forces in Nicaragua, Venezuela, Brazil, and Chile. His obvious intent is to build a case for US intervention in what he calls "America's back yard;" countries that are spurning US hegemony and "free" trade depravations. We must defend Nicaragua and Venezuela specifically and Latin American sovereignty in general. The Nicaragua Network urges all progressive activists to deluge newspapers carrying Novak's column with letters-to-the-editor countering the distortions. Below are talking points for your assistance...

The Lawsuit Against Donald Rumsfeld Over U.S. Torture Policies
ACLU, March 1, 2005
Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld bears direct responsibility for the torture and abuse of detainees in U.S. military custody, the ACLU and Human Rights First charged in the first federal court lawsuit to name a top U.S. official in the ongoing torture scandal in Iraq and Afghanistan that has tarnished America's reputation. The lawsuit was filed in federal court in Illinois on behalf of eight men who were subject to torture and abuse at the hands of U.S. forces under Secretary Rumsfeld's command.
