Tell us what you think! http://us.click.yahoo.com/vO1FAB/txzCAA/ySSFAA/KlSolB/TM ---------------------------------------------------------------------~-> July 30, 2001 Please Distribute to Interested Folks Dear Colleagues, We are now back in the Narco Newsroom and preparing Issue #13 of The Narco News Bulletin. This is a call to correspondents to submit articles and commentary on the war on drugs in our América. Also, below, some previews of our coming Narco News Fall Offensive. As you know, the New York Supreme Court will probably take 3-6 months to rule on our motions to dismiss the Banamex lawsuit in the Drug War on Trial Case. Thus, we can take a break from being fulltime defendants and get back to the important work of breaking the information blockade on the U.S.-imposed drug war from Latin America. Issue #13 will include an analysis from Colombia of how and why aerial herbicide spraying of coca crops - recently banned by Colombian courts - is causing the undoing of Plan Colombia, and also a comprehensive analysis of the sweeping drug policy reforms underway in Canada and the "Pincer Effect" on the United States failed drug policies as the Mounties ride in from the North and Bolivar's horse gallops from the south: the cavalry is coming, América! Some other announcements from the Narco Newsroom: -- NARCO NEWS TEACH-INS: Not content to be sued by billionaires only in New York state (so many venues, so little time!), we will shortly announce a series of "Narco News Teach-Ins" on campuses and in concert halls beginning in Boston, Massachusetts in Mid-September, to where I will travel also to speak at the Annual Hemp Freedom Rally on Boston Common, September 15th. -- BACK-TO-SCHOOL ISSUE: This will be in tandem with our September "Back to School Issue" of The Narco News Bulletin, which will include analysis of university endowments that are invested in drug war corruption, money-laundering, and, with a focus on Latin America, where those investments harm democracy, peace with justice and human rights. The very same university board members and functionaries that would expell you and take away your loans and scholarships for a single experimentation with an illegal drug are themselves neck-deep in narco-trafficking corruption and some authentic education is called for. Stay Tuned! -- NEW DESIGN AND SEARCH ENGINE: Also coming this fall, a new design and makeover for Narco News, with usable site maps and search engine. -- A CAMPUS CALL-TO-ACTION: We urge readers who are students, professors, workers or campus organizers to contact us at [EMAIL PROTECTED] if you can host a Narco News Teach-In. We are targetting, for the first round, Boston, New York and Washington, DC (Hello, Akin Gump!), and possibly other Northeastern venues. -- HOT: Our press office informs us that a major national magazine will be profiling Narco News, hitting the newsstands this weekend. In other words, all attempts by billionaires -- and the officials who protect them -- to silence or detain this project of participatory citizen-journalism have failed. We're back. >From somewhere in a country called América, Al Giordano Publisher The Narco News Bulletin http://www.narconews.com/ [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subscribe to receive alerts of new reports: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/narconews _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Your use of Yahoo!
