Big earthquake in Indonesia makes volcano more likely to blow.
And again the US will be unable and unwilling to help because the military and its vast resources are all tied up in Iraq. Just like Katrina and the tsunami.

In a Hurricane New York City Can't Evacuate
Concern about considerable loss of life arises because there are likely to be significant problems associated with evacuating New York City in the lead-up to extreme storms. Evacuation of the high-density regions near the flood-prone coastline would be extremely difficult because many evacuation routes, including both roads and public transportation, extend through areas that may be inundated with water. In addition, because many of the bridges connecting Manhattan to the mainland are elevated, they would respond to the wind effects of an approaching storm well before such winds would be felt at ground level. As a result, their use as evacuation routes would have to be restricted well before roads at ground level, further complicating an evacuation. The problem of unusable evacuation routes is compounded by the fact that, as of 2001, only 50% of households in New York City and 20% of households in Manhattan had access to their own vehicles, which would mean that a large percentage of the city’s population would need to be evacuated using potentially compromised public transportation systems.

. . . so, yah mean we can't get out via the bridges???
yikes!

Julia Ward Howe's
Arise then...women of this day!
Arise, all women who have hearts!
Whether your baptism be of water or of tears!
Say firmly:
"We will not have questions answered by irrelevant agencies,
Our husbands will not come to us, reeking with carnage,
For caresses and applause.
Our sons shall not be taken from us to unlearn
All that we have been able to teach them of charity, mercy and patience.
We, the women of one country,
Will be too tender of those of another country
To allow our sons to be trained to injure theirs."
From the voice of a devastated Earth a voice goes up with
Our own. It says: "Disarm! Disarm!
The sword of murder is not the balance of justice."
Blood does not wipe our dishonor,
Nor violence indicate possession.
As men have often forsaken the plough and the anvil
At the summons of war,
Let women now leave all that may be left of home
For a great and earnest day of counsel.
Let them meet first, as women, to bewail and commemorate the dead.
Let them solemnly take counsel with each other as to the means
Whereby the great human family can live in peace...
Each bearing after his own time the sacred impress, not of Caesar,
But of God -
In the name of womanhood and humanity, I earnestly ask
That a general congress of women without limit of nationality,
May be appointed and held at someplace deemed most convenient
And the earliest period consistent with its objects,
To promote the alliance of the different nationalities,
The amicable settlement of international questions,
The great and general interests of peace.
Mother's Day Proclamation - 1870

Dear Mr. President
- by PinkWednesday, May 10, 2006
Dear Reader,
I justed added a link on the sidebar to MUJCA (in the Reichstag Fire section on 9-11). They have some great recent articles lately. You may have seen re-posted their recent good piece Reynolds: "Come Out of the White House with Your Hands Up!". Please note there is a new DVD of this called Morgan Reynolds at U.W. : Was America Bush-Whacked? The Bootleg.
Did a former Bush-Cheney administration official really say that his bosses "blew the Twin Towers to kingdom come" ? Did he really charge that 9/11 was an inside job designed to trigger a pre-planned "long war" in the Middle East? And did he really make those incendiary charges to a packed house in a prestigious forum of one of America’s top universities?

US gas prices bump up again as oil goes to more than $73 a barrel as speculators get the yips on the prospect of Iranian supply reduction. And brave Bolivia took control of their natural gas fields even threatening to evict foreign corporate pimps who bleed the third world dry.The Guardian says The bold stroke solidifies (Bolivia President) Morales' role along with Venezuela's Hugo Chavez and Cuba's Fidel Castro in Latin America's new axis of populist leaders opposed to U.S. and corporate influence in the region.
And all across the US immigrants from South America and every other region staged gigantic demonstrations and walk outs and school walk outs.
In Oaxaca, Mexico International Workers' Day was commemorated. Journalists were promptly arrested. They are:
