Professor Richard D. Wolff, fresh off a summer lecturing in Greece and France, gives his analysis on the massive European mobilizations and strikes. He also compares the US movement to the European one, finding the European workers to be much more advanced in their struggle.

Knudson was 60 years old.

Open letter from Kent Knudson
• December 8, 2005

... My case could and will change the Arizona laws (eventually)—I can guarantee that! I will make sure it happens, but it will happen quicker with a little support from organizations like yours. [Does he mean VivaVegie?] Help fill the courtroom with supporters. We can't afford to have the ranchers win another court case when all the facts are against them! All they have is their lies and biased law enforcement to support their abuses! Call me.

Arizona Justice!

When mom and I returned home from three days in the hospital, we found our property overrun with a herd of over 30 wild cattle. When the rancher was informed that his cattle were trespassing on our fenced property and causing a serious threat, I was told that he could not remove them until the next day. Since my mom, who had Alzheimer's disease, often wandered outside, I knew that I must remove the cattle myself. While dealing with this threat, a cow was unintentionally [See Associated story below.] killed. I informed the rancher and he said he would come and talk with me about it, but instead, the next day officials from the Navajo County Sheriff and Arizona Department of Agriculture showed up and immediately arrested and handcuffed me (in front of my ailing mom) solely on the word of the rancher, without even looking for a dead cow or determining the cause.

I was jailed for a day and later charged with a felony and forced to spend thousands of dollars on legal fees for something that should not be a crime and certainly not a felony. So far, I have spent nearly $30,000 on lawyers. More than one of my lawyers has tried to settle this case and told me that the authorities would not settle but wanted to make an example of me! They have never even given me the opportunity to pay for the cow!

People have told me "if you were a Mormon, none of this would be happening to you". If justice is dispensed based on religious persuasion, then that is another of my rights that is being trampled.

Since this began, nearly 3 years ago, I have written about the injustices of western cattle ranching. If I am being prosecuted for my writings, then my freedom of speech is also being denied!

Our family has lived on 40 acres near Snowflake, Arizona for over 25 years. Some ranchers think their cattle have more rights to our private property than we do. So called open range laws are nothing more than special interest laws that place one group (ranchers) above another group (property owners) and are therefore unconstitutional!

Property rights, civil rights, religious freedom, and freedom of speech—all have been violated in my case! This case is still being prosecuted against me and I am told that I could go to prison for 2.5 years and be fined $150,000, while losing my voting rights! A trial date has finally been set for Dec. 21, 2005 in Holbrook, Arizona.

Is this justice or ranching out of control? Where is the common sense?

For additional information (and there is plenty), send me a message—thanks! Please forward this message widely.

Holocaust-denier Eric Williams at his conference booth on Sunday.

While the rest of the civilized world was at home Sunday watching Marty Scorsese finally win an Oscar, I was hanging out with the conspiranuts at the Chandler 9/11 conference, and though I have only limited time because I'm on deadline this morning, I felt I should make a very brief report here. I'll follow up later, after I'm off deadline, with a more detailed account.

Holocaust denier Eric Williams was present and he did have a booth where he was selling his T-shirts, DVDs, and books -- all but his infamous The Puzzle of Auschwitz. I spoke to him, and he informed me that he was planning to re-release his Shoah-shirking tome due to popular demand. He also told me he'd made a nice bit of scratch at the conference, and I believe him because one guy was writing him a check for some merch as I approached. He seemed quite proud of the fact that conference keynote speaker Meria Heller had quoted him so glowingly during her Friday address.

I later learned from some disgruntled symposium participants that Williams had been invited up onstage by NY activist Janette MacKinlay during a "9/11 Unity" panel talk earlier in the day, which according to the schedule also included Kevin "the Holocaust's a myth, bubee" Barrett, conference leader Kent "Cow Killer" Knudson, and Steven "this is the only way I can make a name for myself" Jones. Williams even addressed the crowd briefly. So much for statements by Knudson that Williams was "out," and assurances on 911Accountability.org that Williams had "stepped down from involvement in the 9/11 Accountability Conference." According to Sham Rao (sp?), who called himself, "Kent's right hand man," Williams was allowed to have his booth and participate because of the work he'd done before being ousted as the Conference Director and Web master. Uh, so much for "accountability."


Could UFOs have been behind 9/11? They tell me al-Qaeda is Martian for "kill Earthlings."
Several attendees told me that Williams had become a divisive issue for the conference, and that a number of conference-goers were pissed he'd been allowed to be there. Volunteer organizer Pete Creelman, who is himself Jewish, seemed especially embarrassed by Williams getting up on stage for the Unity thing.

"That wasn't good," he admitted. "I would agree. I don't think he should've been invited up on the platform in view of all that's happened."

To sum up for the moment, not everyone present was a complete fruitcake. There were some relatively sane folks there such as Philly attorney Phil Berg and others. And one attendee from Boston, Mark McKertich, actually bought me a couple of beers at the Crown Plaza San Marcos bar! But otherwise, it was nutbar city, as some of these videos that were on sale at one vendor booth reveal. I didn't make the conference Saturday, but I'll have more from my Sunday visit later today or this evening.
