Can I put the long code on my web page?

If so, send me that text and I will put it in today, as I have seen several versions so far and don't know what is best, but the long form worked fine.

I could log page hits for you if you had a 0x0 iframe which loaded
a 0-byte file from my site, which would trip my logger.

I have also noticed that one way to attract hits is to say something
in a mailing list, like your newsletter.

I just registered a bunch of thai website names.

We can use my menubar item Links and Resources--actually it could
say anything for a title--to list topics on akha.org such as rights
roadbuilding
fishfarm coffee tea beads. I'm going to put the new akha list's archive at a
domain name tonight I think.

The same code works with substitutions for "noplanetb.org"--

  noplanetb.org for AkhaWeeklyJournal and akha yahoolists home pages and
akha.org
  sitbot.net for cia-drugs list  yahoogroups home
  thugsanon.org  for cia-drugs_archives  yahoogroups home page
  virizen.net for AIDSAFRICAASIAalternatives

When I do a search for "akha" in the search form using the HTML you provided it does not work. But when I use the long form at your site it works fine. Here is the short form followed by the long form. Try searching for "akha"

With AddFreeStats you have 3 choices of code to use. I use the top choice called "AddFreeStats Code (Normal Page)."

I find that it doesn't slow down the loading of pages. The Javascript in it should not effect your server. It only operates in people's browsers, as far as I know. Not in your server. And it is safe in their browser as far as I know. And I am pretty paranoid. :)

A freeware web page composer you might try is Trellian. Here is some info below that will be on most of my web pages soon. See the Trellian section:

Public Domain. Copy freely, whether for commercial or non-commercial use. Use anywhere. No permission needed. Not copyrighted. It is free to use, alter, copy, edit, incorporate, change, paste, or distribute in any way. Any parts, or all parts, of the articles or images.

*NoteTab. Great for creating plain-text email out of parts of these web pages. Just copy and paste. One can create narrow columns, too. In both the freeware or shareware versions use the "properties" command in the document menu. Then check the "Wrap to Column" box. Choose column width by number of characters. Nearly all World Drug War website charts are under 60 characters wide (the "costs" charts are 70 characters wide). In the shareware NoteTab you can also choose column width by using the "reformat" command in the Modify/Lines menu. For more info, and quick downloads of the program:

http://www.notetab.com/download.htm

*Trellian. Great for copying parts of web pages directly into other web pages or HTML email. A good, free web page editor that is easy-to-use like a word processor. It is WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get). For info, and quick downloads of the freeware program:

http://webpage.vendercom.com and best download page:
http://www.webattack.com/get/trellianweb.shtml -No need to immediately register.

*How to create web pages. Instantly. Just add text and stir! How to change plain text messages into web pages. Creating clickable web pages using free, easy-to-use, web page editors. Hosting web pages for free on many free web hosts. Acquiring free or cheap domain names. Quick, free, and easy, uploading of web pages. Instant, free submission to many search engines at once. For info, links, and how-to:

http://www.angelfire.com/rnb/y/webpages.htm and
http://members.fortunecity.com/multi19/webpages.htm

*IrfanView. Freeware image editor and viewer. Great for editing images on web pages (see above links, too). Small, powerful program for viewing, editing, and converting images of all sizes. Many formats. Try to find the latest version on the many download sites found from clicking this link:

http://www.google.com/search?q=irfanview+download

That's really great even if google doesn't index every page on those, because
searchbox use will induce google to index everything soon, maybe two or
three months and everything should be covered.

I have links to narconews in all my sites, in Resources and Links dropdown
list. I'll check the other sites you have listed when I get time.

This works where site: may not work (homepage URLs with slashes in them, for example). MAP/DrugNews has an alphabetized search form for hundreds or thousands of news sites: http://www.mapinc.org/media.htm -- Choose the area, or the beginning letter, at the top of the page.

Thanks for the heads up on shortening the URL.

I don't think Google indexes Yahoo Groups, so that would be great if noplanetb.org could index the 2 Akha Yahoo Groups, too.

My website is mirrored here:
http://corporatism.tripod.com and
http://www.angelfire.com/rnb/y and
http://members.fortunecity.com/multi19

That is where my Google search boxes are located.

I use AddFreeStats.com for my site hits. It breaks down the hits by day, week, month, year, page, etc..

Here is the yearly hits breakdown for each of the 100+ site pages:

http://www.addfreestats.com/cgi-bin/go.cgi?Url=%2Fcgi-bin%2FPagesMost.cgi%3Fusr%3D00075415%26dd%3D4%26mm%3D8%26yy%3D2003%26period%3D4

I deleted all the meta keywords from any of my site pages. A long time ago. I found them to be a pain to maintain, and I didn't lose hits when I deleted the keywords.

I do use the title headers. That is easy to do, and I believe it helps in getting hits.

Brian Quig's site which I mirror at decentria gets more hits than
akha or cia-drugs. He got a google visitor from nipr.mil on a
search for Anthony's Pizza Moody Air Force Base, and one
today for HAL838. I deleted his meta keywords list, so that's
not it--google won't raise score for meta keywords but does
lower score for meta keywords not found on the page--which
was one good reason to use meta keyword--for synonyms!
So Brian was wrong about search engines unless I've done
something to improve his search engine results. I don't think
so, as he complained about "only 300 to 400 hits a day".
He gets a dozen a day at decentria.com, and dcia.com isn't
mentioned in the same google results, so I might be doing
something but a dozen a day isn't paying for expenses. If
I had an affiliate link for Anthony's Pizza...

--is all you need to search every page of akha.org and newsletters
at AkhaWeeklyJournal yahoolist. I will add this akha list.

If you are sure google has indexed every single page--and how
can you know?--then you would use a google bookmark. If
all you wanted to do was index the site, my search is the only
way to be sure you have every page indexed. Then use google
for a search of the "whole internet(more, not really the whole)"
for the same terms.

This works where site: may not work (homepage URLs with slashes in them, for example). MAP/DrugNews has an alphabetized search form for hundreds or thousands of news sites: http://www.mapinc.org/media.htm -- Choose the area, or the beginning letter, at the top of the page.

Bob:

I used to have a root program that sent to me daily
off the server.  On days I sent out email journals I
got a hundred and more hits, that was two years ago.

But I don't have that script working for me now.
At any rate, there are some things that we can work on
to improve hits.

Currently I am simplifying and compressing the site
for better flow.

Menus and such are a lot of trouble less you use
something like phpnuke and that would require me to
switch servers which I don't want to do so I am
staying with a sort of flat link method and pages etc.

The new page layout in its part form is www.akha.org
A fellow was going to do some work on the site but
then I don't think that is going to work out so its
back to work for me.

Brian Quig's site which I mirror at decentria gets more hits than
akha or cia-drugs. He got a google visitor from nipr.mil on a
search for Anthony's Pizza Moody Air Force Base, and one
today for HAL838. I deleted his meta keywords list, so that's
not it--google won't raise score for meta keywords but does
lower score for meta keywords not found on the page--which
was one good reason to use meta keyword--for synonyms!
So Brian was wrong about search engines unless I've done
something to improve his search engine results. I don't think
so, as he complained about "only 300 to 400 hits a day".
He gets a dozen a day at decentria.com, and dcia.com isn't
mentioned in the same google results, so I might be doing
something but a dozen a day isn't paying for expenses. If
I had an affiliate link for Anthony's Pizza...

Currently we have two other needs as well.

1. The office needs a roof and windows. This office will serve as computer center, printing center, and Akha Government space, language, culture and nature conservancy, reporting center for human rights abuses and other issues regarding the Akha people.

2. We need to install a satelite dish at the office to allow us to work the internet from the mountain location saving much in time and expense of coming to town.

If you have followed our work and understand the service that we provide to the Akha people and the fact that by being located in an Akha village in this distant and remote location we are protecting the rights of Akha, Lahu and Lisu in a very large region controlled by Amphur Mae Faluang and several different Army groups, then please step forward and make a donation to the finishing of this office and Akha Center.

We have secured the release of numerous prisoners who were abused and near to disappearing for good, and we have prevented the wilding of army personell which used to be common in this area. Our location is two hours by windy road from Chiangrai, one kilometer from the Burmese border in a very dangerous section of the drug war.

We defend human rights, land rights, the right to food, medical rights and work to educate the Akha to these rights. We serve as a reporting center to the Akha and now other groups as well.

This location is not easy, and facilities are very primative. Currently we must commute two hours one way to use computer. This is expensive both in truck repairs, fuel and computer on line time as compared to what it would cost us to rent data feed time from our mountain location.

When I say "We" I mean I, my family, the Akha people of this and other villages and volunteers if we have them at the time.

Please consider this need and make a generous donation to this work.

In a current case the local army is now stopping anyone hauling bamboo sprouts for sale, something that earns the Akha a little cash. Since farming is down, bamboo forests are on the increase, so there is hardly a shortage, but the Amphur of Mae Faluang has added this to one of his target income areas to be eliminated from the Akha people.

We need your help to get the word out on what is happening to the Akha regarding the land and food security.

The Akha are paid nothing by the Thai government for the income in tourism that their images generate in State Advertising.

Sincerely,

Matthew McDaniel

Prison Population in Thailand, prison as genocide and ethnic cleansing

Prison Population of Akhas in Thailand may be as high as 5,000

Akha population in Thailand 70,000

One of the highest ethnic prison per capita populations in the world.

Thailand's dirty secret. Prison as displacement, breaking up families, ethnic cleansing and genocide.

Unusually long sentences are given for minor drug offenses. Six pills can get you three years.

The Loh Guuh Case:

August 31, 2003
Chiangrai, Thailand

In the Case of Loh Guuh

vs.

The Mae Chan Police

To the Court:

The family of Loh Guuh have requested that this statement be filed on their behalf.
First, the family would like to say that they are afraid to make a statement of fact in
court or sign any document as they fear for their safety.

The family and villagers state that the Mae Chan police came three times to the village
trying to buy drugs and that another man finally arranged the sale. Loh Guuh was
called at the last minute to the site of the corn field to meet the buyer. The family states
that this was a case of ENTRAPMENT.

Loh Guuh's sister stated that as Loh Guuh squatted in the corn field near her house
a policeman walked up behind him and said "Now I kill you drug dealer!" firing his
gun three times.

The family states that the police and medical reports are false, Loh Guuh was not shot
in the chest from the front, rather this is an exit wound.

The family states that the police did not provide photographs of the back of Loh
Guuh's head or body.

The family states that Loh Guuh at no time ever had a gun either to the knowledge
of his family or other village members.

The family and numerous villagers have always maintained that:

1. Loh Guuh was shot at close range in the back of the head with a gun, no exit wound.
2. Loh Guuh was shot along the side of the head removing hair and abraiding the skin
on the right side above the ear. (visible in photo)
3. Loh Guuh was shot once in the lower back where the shirt came up, and this bullet
exited from his chest and the shirt as he was falling forward.

The family, wife and villagers stated that they made observations of these three wounds at
the time of burial.

The details of this case have been filed with the UNITED NATIONS HIGH COMMISSION
FOR HUMAN RIGHTS, Special Envoy on EXTRA-JUDICIAL KILLINGS as of June 6, 2003.

On Behalf of the family and wife of Loh Guuh

A little humor:

What goes around comes around.

After centuries of trashing the lives, religions and cultures of indigenous peoples, the Italians find their own churches being trashed.

Repeal the Papal Bulls.

Seems the shoe is finally on the right foot.

Italians Say Tourists Trashing Churches

Wed Jul 30, 3:17 PM ET

Add World - AP to My Yahoo!

By FRANCES D'EMILIO, Associated Press Writer

ROME - Visitors can no longer use the splendid entrance at Rome's Basilica of St. Mary Major � it's sealed off because drunks and lovers had made it a hangout.

In Florence, Catholic officials complain that church steps are turning into latrines at night. Police in Venice plan to fine tourists for leaving lunch leftovers in the square outside St. Mark's Basilica.

Italy's churches draw millions of visitors each year, and anger is mounting over how some mistreat the nation's religious heritage.

Monsignor Timothy Verdon, on the staff at Florence's Duomo, or cathedral, held a news conference this week to denounce the lack of respect shown to that magnificent church.

"The millions of Italians and foreigners who come every year to admire the architecture and art and � many of them also to pray � must run through a kind of obstacle course," Verdon said.

He decried the dozens of souvenir vendors outside the cathedral's exit and the messy trash cans in the piazza, "which are already spilling over by midday."

Even worse, Verdon added, officials at several churches in Florence, a city renowned for grace and beauty, complain that the areas around their churches have been transformed into "open toilets."

"It's not the Florence you used to see, the drawing room of Europe," lamented Monsignor Angelo Livi, pastor at San Lorenzo church, the burial place of members of the princely Medici family and one of the churches cited in the cathedral's appeal for help.

"There's always more and more bums and tourists sleeping outside," Livi said in a telephone interview Wednesday. "The tourists sit on the steps and leave all the crumbs."

Buying a sandwich in a grocery store for lunch on a church's cool marble steps is a popular alternative to Italy's pricey trattorias and cafes.

Responding to the appeal for city authorities to clean up the mess around churches, Mayor Leonardo Domenici said Wednesday that Florence is no worse off than anywhere else in Italy.

Catholic officials in other cities have taken their own measures.

At St. Mary Major in central Rome, church authorities closed one of the basilica's two entrances a few years ago.

"We used to get all the drunks. There were even people making love," said Sandro Necciari, who works in the basilica's administration.

"Above all it was a rubbish problem. In the morning it was chaos," he said.

Rome used to "put a policeman there every now and then, but it's no good," Necciari added. "This is a Roman problem and think how many policemen you would need to guard all the monuments in Rome."

Italy's municipal and national budgets are chronically short of funds to care for the country's wealth of art and architecture.

Still, civil authorities in Venice plan to crack down outside the 9th century St. Mark's Basilica. They are posting signs warning that "people who picnic in the square and leave litter behind" will risk fines equivalent to $56.

"It's a precious place for all, and all have to preserve its beauty," said Federica Durigan, a city tourism official.

One place that has escaped tourist depredations is St. Peter's Basilica at the Vatican (news - web sites).

St. Peter's Square sits in Vatican territory, and its spotless cobblestones reflect that special status. Visitors aren't allowed to sit down to eat in the square itself, although they generally are left in peace while eating sandwiches in the shade of Bernini's colonnade embracing the square.

Latest USA prison population reports out. 2.5% increase over last year! A National Public Radio report. NPR report also on 50-year anniversary of CIA-backed Iran oil coup in 1953 that overthrew an elected government and installed a brutal dictator, the Shah of Iran, and that is considered by many to be the roots of the justifiable anti-Western hatred in the MidEast.

The USA has around 5% of the world's population and 25% of the world's 8.75 million prisoners. The USA surpassed Russia in the year 2000, and so the USA again has the world's highest incarceration rate! It is now 5 to 19 times higher than all other Western (long democratic traditions) nations! The US incarceration rate is around 5 times higher than it was in 1971 when President Nixon declared a "War on Drugs." 6.6 million adults, or 1 in 32 adults in the USA, or 3.1% of adults, were under correctional supervision (in jail, in prison, on probation, or on parole) at yearend 2001. "Texas led the Nation at yearend 2001 with 4,818 adults under correctional supervision per 100,000 adult State residents, [that's 4.8% of Texas adults] followed by Idaho (4,786) and Delaware (4,545). ... Texas, with 27% of its correctional population in prison or jail." That's 1.3% of Texas adults imprisoned in 2001!

Dear Friends:

In this editorial piece there is a lot of information which is useful for letters to government officials both in Thailand and the west, embassies and activist organizations to spread the word about what is going on here.

In a classic example of the incredible brutality, stupidity and ethnic cleansing of the Akha, a man who was not coping well with opium detox was taken to the police for detox at a detox center for three months. Instead they signed him up for a three year prison sentence which we will now be fighting, but it brings to light the incredible injustice that has been imposed by the police and the prison system on the Akha people.

We are in many forms of help here, publicity, web research, donations, editing.

Please be of assist or make a donation.

The mountain computer and publishing center is only half done due to lack of funds.

Due to ongoing abuse and increase in case loads here I find myself quite overwhelmed.

Sincerely,

Matthew McDaniel

Leaky �Leahy Law�

The "Leahy Law" is supposed to prohibit U.S. funding and training of any unit of the security forces of a foreign country if there is credible evidence that the unit has committed human rights violations, unless all necessary corrective steps have been taken. This is U.S. law! Yet it seems not only to have sprung serious leaks, but inability to hold any water at all in U.S. foreign policy. Is this the kind of leaky, sneaky deceit that breeds anger, resentment and terrorism against the U.S.A.at home and abroad?

Ineffective laws are but a sham! When will the U.S.A. put its house in order? Cup your hands and collect the native blood spilling from these leaks:

Law Urh, an Akha man from Ban Hua Mae Kom Bpah Mai Akha village in Northern Thailand, was taken by Thai security forces from Loh Mah Cheh Lahu village on 16 July. He was taken to Huai Mo army camp at Haen Taek, Amphur Mae Faluang, Chiangrai Province, where he was beaten and chained to a post outside for the night.

On 17 July, he was moved to the remote Meh Dturh army base behind Doi Maesalong. Soldiers hung him with a rope by the neck, arms, wrists, and ankles, and beat him repeatedly on his ribs, chest, arms, back and face with an M-16 rifle, an American weapon supplied to Thai security forces under U.S. Government agreements. Hanging and jerking on the rope tore the skin on his wrists. He was threatened with death unless he confessed to knowing the whereabouts of drugs.

On July 17, Matthew McDaniel, of the Akha Heritage Foundation, went to Huai Mo army base where the commander denied they had ever seen Law Urh. This was very strange, as Law Urh had previously been detained and beaten at that same army base only a few weeks before, together with Ah Sah, another Akha man from Pah Nmm in Bpah Mah Hahn. On 20 June the two men had been arrested at Maung Gow Lang army checkpoint near Haen Taek in Chiangrai Province, and then taken to Huai Mo army base where they were badly abused, beaten and threatened with death, though no drugs were found by the soldiers.

Two Lahu men, Ah Tsah and Leeh Cheeh Bpow, disappeared at Huai Mo army base last year and are presumed dead.

On 18 July, Law Urh's daughter, Booh Eh, feared for her father�s life. So on 19 July McDaniel went with her and other Akha villagers to see the commander again at Huai Mo army base. He once again denied having seen Law Urh after being shown his recent photograph with a black eye from previous beatings at that army base. Meanwhile, one of the black-shirt, border-patrol soldiers at the base was riding Law Urh's motorcycle!

The commander at Sam Yaek army base 253 and the regional army command base at Chiangrai denied knowing anything about Law Urh. The Chiangrai police said that maybe the local police knew. The Mae Faluang police made comments about how the army was always detaining and beating people. They said that the case was well known over the radio, and that army investigators were looking into it.

At 1 a.m. on 20 July Law Urh was returned to his home at Hua Mae Kom Bpah Mai village. He had been seriously beaten and abused. The army told him not to talk about the incident, otherwise they would kill him.

Any charges against the Akha people, and other hilltribe ethnic minorities, should be brought in a properly conducted manner. Torture and extrajudicial killings by Thai security forces cannot be tolerated. It is a complete travesty of international laws. There are police prison facilities at Haen Taek, Mae Faluang and Chiangrai for detention of suspects if there are grounds for arrest. However, some in the Thai security forces do not appear to respect due legal process and rule of law.

Other cases too numerous to mention here are causing great concern that Thai domestic policy is collapsing into ethnic genocide of Thailand�s hilltribe minorities under the cloak of a supposed �war on drugs�.

On 8 June, Ah Yeh Mah Yurh of Joh Hoh Akha village near Phrao was shot dead in a village house. On the morning of 20 June, Loh Pah Ah Sauh and Leeh Huuh Burh Chay were shot dead while on their way to Phrao police station, following police instructions to go there. Police apparently do not know who the murderers are!

U.S.-Thai Relations Override Human Rights Abuses

Thailand�s Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra met with President George W. Bush at the White House on 10th June. Their joint statement issued on 11th June said, �Regarding recent press allegations that Thai security services carried out extrajudicial killings during a counternarcotics campaign in Thailand, Prime Minister Thaksin stated unequivocally that the Thai Government does not tolerate extrajudicial killings and assured President Bush that all allegations regarding killings are being investigated thoroughly.�

In a 9th June letter to President Bush, Human Rights Watch wrote that �[s]hould the human rights violations continue and no independent and credible investigations are conducted into these killings, the United States should make it clear that it will have a significant impact on U.S.-Thai relations, including in the area of counternarcotics, and call into question the leadership role Thailand has assumed in the region.�

Blood on the Track.

Three Akha men from the same small village of Joh Hoh Akha near Phrao in Chiangmai Province were shot dead this month. On 8th June, Ah Yeh Mah Yurh, a 43-year-old Akha man, was shot once in the chest by a sniper who fired through a barely open door. He was killed while sitting in the house with friends. He leaves a wife and four children.

Police arrested Leeh Muuh Burh Chay. However, his parents and other villagers say he was with friends in a neighbour�s house at the time of the incident. On 18th June the police left notices with the wives of Loh Pah Ah Sauh, a 35-year-old Akha man, and Leeh Huuh Burh Chay, the 44-year-old brother of the arrested man, calling for them to go to Phrao police station at 8 a.m. on 20th June.

A report filed later that day by an on-the-scene investigator says, �So, the two of them on one motorcycle are halfway there, and are shot many times in the chest and head. Trying to turn around to save their lives, others come out from the fields, and shoot more, way way extra until they are lying there in the field, dead. We went to this place, and there were blood stains on the road and field.�

Loh Pah Ah Sauh was shot once in the face, and two or more times in the chest. He leaves a wife and children, including one handicapped daughter.

Leeh Huuh Burh Chay was shot in the hand, in the chest five times, and through the nose with a very messy exit wound in the back of his skull near his neck. He leaves a wife and two sons. Meanwhile, his brother is in prison for the same killing on 8th June for which he was presumably being called to the Phrao police station about!

A report made by another investigator later on 20th June says, �We learned the cops had called the two men to come to the station that morning for some reason they wouldn�t clarify. This is when they had been attacked. The cops couldn�t say who might have done it. They wondered why we would think it was the police and wanted to know if we were with an NGO. One young police officer laughed and smirked throughout the meeting. The chief we were meeting was aloof, but was clearly ill, probably with AIDS, from the look of it. The chief knew two men had been murdered but didn�t seem to know much real information. He was very out-of-it. The young officer seemed to know what was going on but didn�t want to talk. On our way out of the police complex we quickly photographed a truck without any plates in the lot that was muddied from a red road like the one the murders took place on.�

The first investigator says, �We went on to the police station at Phrao. I speak Thai, so found it my duty to use it well. We are taken to see the �boss�, who with the help of others are quickly pushing away the beer bottles and cigarettes and other toys off his outside �desk� where we sit down to speak with him. Initially it is just him, intoxicated and old, who pretends not to know what I am talking about, asking for answers about why they received the papers two days ago, and why they were murdered. Another policeman, now both of them smugly smoking cigarettes, says, �Well, how do you know it was the police?� gives an awful half-grin, and takes a drag on his cigarette. All they kept saying was I don�t know, it has nothing to do with this police station, we have no idea who or why papers were sent to those two individuals. There was nothing else to do there, so we left. Beyond appalling, this picture.�

Following Thaksin�s three-month, anti-drugs campaign, which supposedly ended on 30th April with a total of 2,274 deaths reported by the police, the killings and human rights violations have continued unabated, unabashed, and unaccounted for!

Fabrications in High Places

U.S. Assistant Secretary of Defense Peter Rodman, in his 26th June testimony to the Subcommittee on Asia and the Pacific House International Relations Committee Hearing, stated: "Thailand's willingness to afford us unimpeded access to valuable facilities enables us to maintain a high level of readiness in the region. Cobra Gold, the centerpiece of the U.S.-Thai annual training and exercise schedule of over 40 activities, is now focused on peace enforcement and peacekeeping. Our training relationship has expanded over the last decade to include cooperation also on counter-drug matters, disaster response, humanitarian assistance, demining and now counter-terrorism."

According to the Bush-Thaksin joint statement of 11th June, �...the President informed the Prime Minister that the United States is actively considering Thailand�s designation as a Major Non NATO Ally (MNNA).� It later continues, �The two leaders recognized the long, successful history of cooperation between the United States and Thailand on law enforcement and counternarcotics. President Bush appreciated Thailand�s leadership in hosting one of the largest and most successful U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) operations in the world as well as the U.S.-Thai International Law Enforcement Academy (ILEA).�

It is very difficult, if not impossible, to square these statements with actual realities on the ground in Thailand. Thaksin has admitted that 35 of the killings reported during the three-month crackdown were deemed to be �extrajudicial� killings. Yet independent investigations into these killings leave very much to be desired, especially due to the �climate of fear� amongst human rights workers in Thailand, as reported by U.N. special envoy on human rights, Hina Jilani, when she wrapped up her ten-day visit to the kingdom on 27th May.

The �Leahy Law� on human rights, enacted in the U.S. in 1997 and since expanded, prohibits U.S. funding and training of any unit of the security forces of a foreign country if there is credible evidence that the unit has committed human rights violations, unless all necessary corrective steps have been taken.

Recent statements by U.S. officials show little or no concern about investigations into these extrajudicial killings, which still continue, or about enforcing the �Leahy Law�. This stands in marked contrast to the case of approximately 2,000 people killed in Kosovo by Milosovic�s forces before the U.S. and Britain began bombing Yugoslavia in March 1999 out of �humanitarian� concerns!

Mark of Cain�s Generation

The U.S. tries to stand on a lofty humanitarian pulpit over such countries as Yugoslavia, Iran and Iraq. However, it declines to take up human rights issues in its relations with Turkey, Indonesia, Israel, and other allies known to be committing human rights atrocities. Of course, the native populations of Vietnam, Hiroshima, Nagasaki, and the indigenous peoples of America itself know how much U.S. policies are concerned with the basic human rights to life and livelihood.

The U.S., following the British empirical experiment, is now going global with its own brand of self-interest. Human rights are of no concern to empires, while power projection most certainly is. As President Bush says, �You are either for us, or against us.� Otherwise you are an irrelevance!

Thaksin�s Thailand is open for business as usual in this latest global empirical experiment. On 10th June, the same day he met Bush in the White House, the Nation newspaper back home reported that Thaksin was keen to lease land in Thailand for a new U.S. military base. He was taking a commercial approach as a way to generate cash. Previous U.S. bases in Thailand had been closed soon after the Vietnam War ended in 1975.

On 12th June, Thailand�s Crown Prince Maha Vajiralongkorn was escorted by Deputy Secretary of Defense Paul Wolfowitz through an honor cordon into the Pentagon.

Peter Rodman had this to say in his 26th June testimony: �Existing and new U.S. bases overseas will be evaluated as combined and/or joint facilities, given the new premium on combined and joint operations. Overseas stationed forces should be located on reliable, well-protected territory.�

The only human rights protections which figure in U.S. military base plans are those of its own people and their cooperative buddies. The large and growing U.S. military base on the island of Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean was built in the 1970s after the forced and illegal removal of the entire native population. The lease was stitched up in violation of international laws as well as U.N. human rights provisions by the British in a military deal with the U.S. The 2,000 native Chagos islanders were left destitute, most of them on the island of Mauritius. Although the islanders won their London High Court case to return to their native Diego Garcia and neighbouring islands in November 2000, the U.S. still blocks their right to return. B52 and B2 Stealth bombers use the base for operations in Iraq, Afghanistan and elsewhere.

Human rights atrocities, forced removals and torture continue to be perpetrated with impunity against hilltribe ethnic minorities by state security forces in northern Thailand. On 20th June, two Akha men were stopped at the Maung Gow Lang army checkpoint in Ampur Mae Faluang . They were taken to Huai Mo army base in Haen Taek, the same base where witnesses say they saw two Lahu men murdered last year. The army said they must have been doing some drug business, but they could find no drugs. They tied up and beat the two men repeatedly with gun butts, boots and sticks for six days, saying they would kill them. They were also lifted off the ground with a rope around their necks.

The U.S. is effectively saying that this kind of abuse of human rights is O.K. because Thailand is a buddy in the wars on drugs and terrorism! Thaksin is keen to offer the U.S. a lease for a military base. Therefore Bush is willing to overlook such messy details as human rights and the �Leahy Law�!

Should U.S. citizens not exercise more concern over how their laws are implimented, and how their tax dollars are spent? Is U.S. policy not condoning the very kind of terrorism it claims to be waging war against? Are the U.S. and its allies not summoning up the regeneration of Cain�s fallen countenance and wrath? This generation is in our hands my dear friends!

-fonebone < a correction if i may - mike levine was a military policeman in the airforce

and was not a viet-nam vet -

when mike was discharged he beacme a DEA undercover agent -

one of his first assignments was to go undercover to thailand and

discover who was behind massive amounts of heroin

being smggled into america secreted in the body cavities of out dead viet-nam soldiers

Mike further states upon arrival in Thailand he was summonded to the ambassadors

office where an official told mike "your investication will stop right here - right now --"

--BUT you don't understand Mike protested _ heroin is being smuggled home in the bodies of our dead

__ NO you don't understand -retorted the official --"our country has higher priorities "

Mike cabled back to his wasington superiors the position of the ambassadors laison and

was cabled back to return home imediately - the investigation was terminated -

this was 1970 or so - this heroin flooded the cities of the cities

that provided a good deal of the combat soldiers serving in viet-nam

mr levine's brother became a heroin addict and latter died of a heroin overdose

mr levines son - a new york city police officer was murdered by a drug addict in the line of duty -fonebone

Developing a Database of Bay Area Law Enforcement
by Seventh & Willow Junta Sunday July 20, 2003 at 05:02 AM

A coalition of techs and police accountability groups are building a Bay Area networked database of police and intelligence about police activities. This article gives a background about why this type of project is desperately needed.

OAKLAND, Calif.--We alert cities to the danger of possible terrorist attack. We alert people to the presence of sex offenders in their neighborhood. Now, as the most recent police brutality case in the Golden State so clearly demonstrates, it's time to alert people to the complaint and discipline history of their local police officers, so they can better gauge the risks in their communities.

Americans need a Police Complaint Database.

Does it surprise us that Officer Jeremy Morse of Inglewood, Calif., had a history of police brutality before he punched a helpless, handcuffed juvenile in the mouth? There is a great deal of discretion in the execution of the law, and that makes street patrol officers particularly unaccountable. In fact, as the crime rate plummeted in the 1990s, the number of law enforcement personnel who were sent to prison multiplied five times.

In response to several different police brutality scandals, such as the Abner Louima scandal in New York City and the Rampart scandal in Los Angeles, communities around the country have been challenging their city councils to give civilian review boards the power to investigate citizen complaints against police officers.

Typically, police departments guard the files of police officers and legal access is severely limited. So mayors, police chiefs and members of the police commissions have typically balked, saying they investigate their own just fine.

There is something both funny and sad about their hubris. Two years ago on Christmas Eve, computer equipment was destroyed and internal affairs files stolen from a Baltimore police department headquarters that had recently instituted a campaign to weed out corrupt officers. Among the files missing was one involving an officer who was charged with planting drugs on a suspect before arresting him.

Fortunately, the San Diego Public Defender's Office is trying to change the way citizens can police their local police without permission from the police department.

A few years ago, the office began tracking complaints against police officers by compiling information from public court records, ranging from civil offenses to family court charges. They are looking for claims of domestic violence by a spouse in divorce records or harassment charges by an ex-girlfriend that resulted in a restraining order.

Police unions say that the limited information compiled by the public defender's office could be abused, or that the level of scrutiny will deter people from joining the force. Paul Cooper, San Diego city attorney, fears that the unproven allegations of officers' divorce records might make their way into the database and be used in court as a series of red herrings to impeach the integrity of the officer.

These are the same law enforcement groups that want the law on their side when they base their door-smashing drug busts on hearsay about drugs on the premises. These groups never showed concern for the possible inaccuracy of the information on Megan's Law lists. Public safety, they cried, should trump privacy rights.

If the search can uncover a pattern of violence in the police officer's private life, the public defender insists that his credibility could come into question and this could result in a fairer trial. If nothing else, the information could be used to identify a problem officer.

Although a commendable first step, the database does not go far enough. Right now, the San Diego public defender's information is for their eyes only, and they're only searching the records of those officers testifying against their clients.

A comprehensive database -- organized by local civilian review boards to keep track of all citizen complaints against police officers -- would be a helpful community tool to identify a pattern of excessive force by police officers. And the list should be made public via the Internet.

In my own backyard, four cops known as the "Oakland Riders" were recently charged with beating citizens and planting drugs on them. The suspected ringleader is still on the lam.

What if those "Oakland Riders" knew that when they pulled over a car, the driver might already know they were about to encounter a suspected perjurer? Or that a citizen might know that the officer's assignment to patrol duty was being challenged by civil rights groups because he or she has a high ratio of shooting unarmed citizens or making mistakes that resulted in an injured or dead suspect in police custody?

If Oakland city or police officials had alerted us to the discipline or complaint history of the Oakland Riders the community could have inoculated itself from the rogue cops and the type of brutality scandals that have rocked law enforcement agencies across the nation in the past few years.

It's only a matter of time before another police officer gets caught on tape brutalizing another citizen. Communities need new tools to better police their local police now.

Loya's (BuddhaLobo@...) memoir is due to be published by HarperCollins in the fall of next year.

Oakland Demonstration Oppose the DEA's Attack on Medical Marijuana

On 5/27, bay area medical marijuana supporters held a demonstration at the Oakland Federal Building in response to the DEA's arrest of Gary and Anna Barrett in San Bernardino County. The Barretts have been outspoken advocates for medical cannabis patients for many years. More than forty other medical cannabis patients and caregivers are facing federal prosecution right now.

Brazil Writes Drug Decriminalization Law, Attornery General Favors Decriminalization

In what could turn out to be a truly radical new policy, Brazil's Health Ministry has finalized a proposed law with a goal of creating "policies that can deconstruct the common view that every drug user is a sick person who requires intervention, prison, or aquittal." The Attorney General of Brazil, M�rcio Thomaz Bastos, said that he "favors the decriminalization of drug use." This approach, that of seeing drug use and abuse as a public health rather than a criminal issue, would put Brazil on a much better path toward reducing the harm caused by drugs and the enforcement of current laws.

RAVE Act passes: New name, same draconian effects

On 4/10 the so-called Illicit Drug Anti-Proliferation Act (formerly the RAVE Act) passed both the House and the Senate. Cynically attached as a rider to the AMBER Alert bill, which has nothing to do with drug policy, the act has come under extreme criticism from advocates of free speech and a common sense drug policy. According to the SF Bayview newspaper, the bill would "would also make it where anyone who threw an event at his own home, such as a party or barbecue, in which one or more of the guests used drugs, could potentially face a $500,000 fine and 20 years in federal prison. All it takes is a snitch and a racist prosecutor - and we all know that there is no shortage of either." Read more | SF Bayview article | NoMoreDrugWar.org | Drug Policy Alliance | ACLU

Fighting Back: "Out from the Shadows" Summit in M�rida

2/12: As the U.S. continues the acceleration of its War On Drugs, a new voice is organizing to the south. 2/12 marks the beginning of a matched acceleration: that of an America that is fighting back. Narco News has helped organize the first drug legalization summit, �Out From the Shadows,� a forum for activists, indigenous leaders, drug-policy reformists, cocaleros and legislators to speak out and strategize against the corrupt ties between US drug policy and Latin American narco-trafficking. The countdown began on 2/12, with an opening ceremony hosted by Al Giordino, editor-in-chief of Narco News.


Andr�s V�squez de Santiago, at 93, is the elder member of the Indigenous National Congress in M�xico, comprised of 56 of Mexico's 62 indigenous ethnicities, and with Comandanta Ramona of the Zapatista Army of National Liberation, one of its founders. More

There are other guests at the summit, as well: 26 journalists from around the world, handpicked by Narco News to learn among peers and mentors, as the news site launches its first �School of Authentic Journalism.� Filmmakers, IMCistas, radio broadcasters, TV hosts and authors from Brazil to Philly are learning first-hand the craft of journalism from such journalistic warriors as Mario Renato Menendez Rodriguez, editor-in-chief of Por Esto!, Mexico�s third largest daily, and Gary Webb, Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative journalist and author of Dark Alliance. These 26 �authentic journalists� will be covering the conference from the ground in Merida, Mexico. Stay tuned to Indymedia and Narco News as they take you into the Universidad Autonoma de Yucat�n to hear the voices of those who would speak out for drug legalization and justice for indigenous people.

Prominent Advocate for Medical Marijuana Ed Rosenthal Convicted

On 1/31, Ed Rosenthal was convicted for growing medical marijuana despite California's overwhelming support for using the drug to help with a wide variety of ailments.

While he was found guilty of three counts, the most serious related to conspiracy to grow more than a thousand plants, and on that count the jury found that he had conspired to grow more than a hundred but less than a thousand. That leaves his conviction for cultivation of more than a hundred plants as the offense with the stiffest penalty, with a sentencing range of from 5 to 40 years and a fine of up to $2 million dollars.

On Tue 2/4, Judge Breyer will decide whether to take Ed Rosenthal into custody until his Sentencing hearing in June. That morning a rally will be held in opposition to the so-called "War on Drugs." Details | Trial photos

Medical Marijuana Activists Decry Raids by Drug Endowment Agency

9/24/2002: In the capital of California, a state whose voters have endorsed medical marijuana and treatment alternatives to incarceration, demonstrators nevertheless found themselves on the streets denouncing he government's actions in its horrific "war on drugs." Hundreds descended upon Sacramento [Photos] to voice their anger and disgust at the so-called Drug Enforcement Agency, which has spent its time raiding medical marijuana clubs at the expense of the sick and terminally ill.

Armed with lies and guns, and claiming that medical marijuana growers and distributors are out solely to make a profit, the DEA raided a cooperative pot-growing farm in Santa Cruz on 9/5. The US government, lest we forget, has historically been one of the biggest suppliers of "illegal" drugs.

Police State Terror in Thailand

From the open publishing newswire: I am a Portland activist that has been traveling in Southeast Asia for around three months. Recently in Thailand, the Prime Minister with the military elite who run the country have declared an open war against "drug dealers." This war has turned into a terror campaign that has already left over a 1000 people murdered by special police/military death squads, just within a weeks time. There are police and military checkpoints everywhere, searching for the people on the "death list." The military command of Thailand has just closed down the INN news service due to its reporting of the murders. [ Read More... ]

WAR ON (SOME) DRUGS

Mexican conference demands legalization of drugs, Portland journalist reports

From the open publishing newswire: Many Indymedia readers have been raised on the �War on Drugs.� There were too many socialist-type gains in the 60s and 70s for the taste of President Nixon. With the mind-expansion help of drugs, people were uniting, racial and gender lines blurred and rights were won, communes that questioned land ownership were born, people loved freely and a war was stopped.

From a United States perspective, what has this 30-year war given us? A booming profit-driven prison economy where half of those incarcerated are non-violent drug consumers? An expensive law enforcement system where one half of our �peace officers� are mandated to convict petty sellers and consumers? A drained economy that sends billions upon billions of US dollars to right wing paramilitaries in Latin America to stop drug production, which kills thousands of peasants.

This war has fueled a violent black market, a savage capitalism that will never be diminished because of the enormous profits to be had. And, although our government professes concern for the consumer, thousands die each year due to no quality regulation. A friend of mine died last year because of this.

The war has failed, violently and miserably, and its motivation now as in the beginning is clearly right wing government control. First to slap down US leftists and now to control all of Latin America so the literal superhighways may be paved through such devices as Plan Colombia, Plan Puebla Panama and the extension of NAFTA.

HYPOCRISY IN ACTION

'Liberal' Nation magazine publishes government anti-pot ad

From the open publishing newswire: In the 12/30/02 issue at page 8, The Nation published this full page ad:

Header: Picture of small bag of marijuana.
Title: "Is it OK to Support Terrorism if it's only a Little Bit?"
Sponsored by: Office of National Drug Control Policy

The text of the ad states that if you buy drugs you are financing drug cartels, people who are responsible for terrible things. If you stop buying drugs, the dealers and violence would go away. It concludes by saying it doesn't matter if you only buy a dime bag... "you pick which side you're on by buying it in the first place."

So pot smokers are on the side of the "terrorists?" Oh really... The Nation says that it blanketly accepts any advertising that does not impede the use of its editorial columns, unless the ads are "blatantly misleading" or purveying harmful products in which case they fall into the gray area of discretion. If the above ad is not blatantly misleading, what is? [ Read More... ]

Reefer Madness

From the open publishing newswire: We interrupt our coverage of the war\ on terrorism to check in with that other permanent conflict against a stateles\ s enemy, the war on drugs. To judge by the glee at the White House Office of Na\ tional Drug Control Policy, the drug warriors have just accomplished the moral \ equivalent of routing the Talibanb helping to halt a relentless jihad against \ the nation's drug laws.

SOCIAL ILLUSIONS

We're Jeff and Tracy. We're Your Good Neighbors. We Smoke Pot.

From the open publishing newswire: We tried spending our own green money to publish the message that tens of millions of responsible, productive Americans smoke pot. Portland's largest newspaper, The Oregonian, censored us. So did corporate heads at Portland's KUFO, KGON, KEX, KKCW, KSTE, KNRK, KKRZ and Seattle's KISW. Even the mass transit system, Tri-Met, banned our message. Sooo...we are taking our message to radio stations in other parts of the country, to college campus radio stations, indie stations, even internet stations in the hope that they will play it over the air waves! Help us spread the message that regular Americans smoke pot, you just don't know who they are because they are afraid to talk about it. [ Read more... ]

NEWS FROM THE STREET

How to love and care for a crack dependent person

From the open publishing newswire: i posted a while back that i wanted to produce something here on indy relating the tale--along with some logically moralistic crap--of my close friend who has been binging on crack-cocaine for the entire summer (and who continues to do so). it has been bitter heartache from the very beginning when i met her, but we grew close yet though she was moving further and further away from me (and the world that she's known for 44 years).

i met her on the corner of 6th and Burnside (NW), a corner that is a notorious congregating spot for crack users and the cool sha' hambone, young (and getting younger), mostly black drug dealers (and accompanying entourages). the police know this and have been taking action since a little after the summer began by making multiple day and night sweeps, being helped until dusk by the portland business supported rent-a-cops, Clean & Safe.

U.S IMPERIALISM

Committee for a New Colombia educates Portlanders at IWW hall

From Committee for a New Colombia, Ram�n Acevedo and Nathalie Alsop spoke at the IWW hall this past Thursday, to educate and inspire folks to work to end the violence in Colombia by recognizing that U.S. funding is what is perpetuating this bloody civil war, more than any other factor.

The messages we are being asked to understand, are manyfold. It was emphasized that we need to fully look at the complexity of issues that face this resource-rich, but dirt-poor country; And that this war on drugs in Colombia is in actuality (as it is here) a war on the people. Studies show that fumigation abroad will not decrease drug use in the US. It was stated that there is now more coca growing in Colombia than ever before, mainly due to fumigation policies designed to destroy subsistence and market crops, forcing people to move to the cities. This cheap and desperate labor base serves to undermine formation and organization of labor unions, because there is an endless resource base of scab labor moving into the cities as life in the country becomes unbearable. There is evidence that corporations in the cities are using paramilitaries to crush unions. A story was relayed about a Coca Cola plant murder of a union organizer, by paramilitaries who were allowed onto the property by that corporation. DynCorp has been asked to leave Ecuador because of the human rights abuses they are responsible for.

The violence in Colombia continues mainly because the paramilitary and government-backed military are all being subsidized by U.S. dollars to perpetuate the violence. 20% of the U.S. money going to Colombia is used for actual aid. The rest is used for arms. This money will be used by the incoming president, who will be inaugurated August 7th, to combine the U.C-trained armed forces, and the National Police to work more closely in the civil war.

The internal conflicts that have put this country in a constant state of war would be more likely to deescalate were the U.S. not training the paramilitary and providing them with arms. Our government's interest is in promoting the interests of multinational investment, at the expense of the cultural and economic integrity of Colombians, and at the expense of their environment. Stopping U.S. involvement in Colombia is the first obvious step toward achieving peace in Colombia.
