The latest from the tiny desert town that was the setting for one of my major activist projects of last summer. It was a pleasure to work with Jade Jones, Michael Roth, Richard Abbey, Dana Stadler, Will Ponce, Ed Foster, and more. If I hadn’t moved to Keene, Quartzsite would have been my second choice; there are some amazing activists there! Now, we just need to get them to move here to Keene!
According to Jennifer “Jade” Jones, publisher of The Desert Freedom Press:
Quartzsite voters turned out in record numbers yesterday to send a message. And that message was “NO” on Proposition 1(444 votes to 149), meaning 75% 0f voters wanted an elected not an appointed mayor. The mayor they chose was Ed Foster.
At odds with the rest of the council before he even took office in 2010, Foster had lost a recall election to Fire Captain Jose Lizarraga in August by a narrow margin. That recall was spearheaded by then Councilman Jerry Lukkasson and his wife Michelle. Lizarraga refused to run again for his expiring mayors seat and Lukkasson resigned from the council for a chance to wield the gavel. Now, the voters of Quartzsite have put Foster back in as the town CEO, and by a respectable margin. (more…)

As expected, John P. Arnold ruled in a 15 page “ORDER”, that the city police do not have to release the case file reports or photos regarding Thomas James Ball’s self immolation last summer. All the people calling themselves “the state” had to do to justify their restriction of what should be public records was claim there were family members who did not wish the information released. It matters not that Ball committed suicide in a very public manner. He wanted people to see what he did and ask why, which he answered in a lengthy suicide letter. However, the state people have other interests, namely, shoving Ball’s death under the rug, in order to protect not the family, but the state people’s legitimacy.
Wouldn’t want anyone to hear the canary in the mine, now would they?

Pulled down from multiple channels by YouTube at the behest of arms manufacturer LENCO, their military and violence fetishizing BEARCAT promo video is now online via torrent.
Of course, each time they pull a copy down from youtube, another person uploads it again, but now that it’s on torrent, there are no corporations they can leverage with the threat of lawsuit to make this go away.
Please seed!
