Yesterday I uploaded my story ":QUEBEC CITY MURDERS OF MUSLIMS ROOTED IN
WAR ON TERROR," a conversation with the Hamilton (Ontario) Coalition to
Stop the War spokesman Ken Stone.  It's one of the only reports I know of
to report the Québec City shootings not only as violence against a Muslim
minority but also as a consequence of the Islamophobia central to the "War
on Terror."  I was gratified to see that that KVOY-Central Oklahoma,
KKHI-Kansas City and KBOO-Portland downloaded it.

I hope that Standing Rock reports will be uploaded to NewsUp this week; I
will encourage the newscast I work on to download any that are.  It's down
to the wire there and the veterans prepared to put their bodies on the line
seem to be their best hope. The prospect of bulldozing Indians in this
racist country won't cause nearly so much alarm as the prospect of
bulldozing veterans.  Even Stars and Stripes is covering Veterans Stand
sympathetically.

A Penobscott Native friend of mine is on her way to Standing Rock from
Maine for the third time, but that's the only on-the-ground contact I have
for now.
