Hindu regime in India fans anti-Muslim sentiment |
|
by Keith Jones |
19 Dec 2005

India's National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government rushed to declare its readiness to join a US-led coalition against global terrorism. Much of India's political elite was positively euphoric, for it saw the crisis triggered by last week's terrorist attacks as providing India a double opportunity. By rallying in support of the US and encouraging a backlash against Islamic fundamentalism, India could cement a new Indo-American "strategic partnership" while stigmatizing its historic rival Pakistan as a "terrorist state." Some officials of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)-the right-wing Hindu nationalist party that leads the NDA-spoke privately of an emerging US-Indian-Israeli axis against "Islamic terrorism." |

WORCESTER CITY SQUARE: What have We Gotten Ourselves into? |

What do we want Worcester to look like?
Worcester’s third attempt to reinvent its downtown, City Square, is a work in progress. With Worcester’s new motto “a city on the move” being hyped up, I’ve got to ask, what have we gotten ourselves into, and who is moving where? Let me give you a little background. City Square is a three-phase public and privately funded downtown revitalization project. The first phase is the publicly funded rebuilding of roads, sidewalks and an underground parking garage. The second and third phases are privately funded residential, medical, retail and professional buildings, which the city has little final say on, other than through its granting building permits. |

The prosecution immediately made a motion to take Coronado into custody, claiming he was a flight risk. Judge David C. Bury sustained the objection of Coronado's attorney that he had not violated his pre-trial release agreement in the year and a half since his arrest. Coronado and Crozier will face sentencing on March 9, 2006. |

A People's History of UC Weapons Lab Management |
|
by Will Parrish |
19 Dec 2005
|
 Over the past several decades students and faculty of the University of California, often in tandem with nuclear disarmament NGOs in California and New Mexico, have conducted a series of campaigns to end the UC's involvement in nuclear weapons research, design, testing, and production at the Los Alamos and Lawrence Livermore laboratories. These campaigns represent an important contribution to the global nuclear abolition movement, which historian Lawrence Wittner has described as "the largest, most dynamic international citizens' movement of modern times."
A new, comprehensive resource for information on the University of California's role in the design, research, testing, and production -- every nuclear weapon in the US arsenal was designed by a UC employee! -- is now online. The Web site, ucnuclearfree.org, is intended to give students, faculty, staff, and community members a clearinghouse of information to strengthen their efforts in trying to sever university involvement in the production and maintenance of weapons of mass destruction. |

SANTA CRUZ, CA – According to a document obtained by NBC News, the Pentagon has been spying on 1,500 “suspicious incidents,” including anti-war and counter-recruitment meetings and actions throughout the nation over the past 10-month period. Among the first pages of more than 400 released, 10 college anti-war protests were listed, including UC Santa Cruz Students Against War (SAW)’s counter-recruitment protest of April 5, 2005, which was the only one to be labeled both credible and a “threat.” |
