Novartis Knock Down Day is a call for actions against Novartis on Monday, October 27th for being one of Huntingdon Life Sciences’ (HLS’s) largest customers. Without customers of Huntingdon Life Sciences (HLS) there simply would be no Huntingdon Life Sciences (HLS). The customers pay Huntingdon to test products and carry out research. If Huntingdon lost all their customers then they would have no income and be forced to close. There are only ten companies which give Huntingdon Life Sciences 45% of their income; these include Novartis, GlaxoSmithKline, and Bristol-Myers Squibb.

These movies are:

“The Libertine”

“Live Nude Girls Unite!”

and

“Short Circuit”

Now, ok… they have a right, I suppose, to not carry every movie ever made… to my disappointment, but let’s see, they chose, a 2004 movie starring Johnny Depp? to remove, over, say, The Toxic Avenger by the Troma kids, seeing as how that is such a classic piece of art, or so well made, or such a profound statement of the human soul? Which, I’m not saying it isn’t. It definitely is. I identify with the toxic avenger, man… He knows my soul. But I’m getting off topic.

DNC Protest, Split, and the Principled Stand of Cynthia McKinney

By Steven Argue

Protest plans have been in the works against the Democratic National Convention (DNC) for some time now, with organizers opposing the Democrat Party’s policies of war and occupation, backing of continued corporate policies that cause global warming, and their attacks on immigrants.

“The old future’s gone,” John Gorka sings. “We can’t get to there from here.”1

That insight from Gorka,2 one of my favorite singer/songwriters chronicling the complexity of our times, deserves serious reflection. Tonight I want to argue that the way in which we humans have long imagined the future must be rethought, as the scope and depth of the cascading crises we face become painfully clearer day by day.
