POULSBO — Jackie Hudson, a Poulsbo-based Dominican nun who spent decades demonstrating in support of nuclear disarmament, died at Harrison Medical Center on Wednesday. She was 76.

Hudson died from a type of blood cancer, according to the Kitsap County Coroner's Office.

She was diagnosed in June, said Sue Ablao, who has demonstrated in favor of nuclear disarmament with Hudson since the 1990s.

WAR IS (S)IN

Greetings from Black Mesa Indigenous Support,

We are excited to inform you that a caravan of work crews will once again be converging from across the country in support of residents of the Big Mountain regions of Black Mesa. On behalf of their peoples, their sacred ancestral lands and future generations, these communities continue to carry out a staunch resistance to the efforts of the US Government, which is acting in the interests of the Peabody Coal Company, to devastate whole communities and ecosystems and greatly de-stabilize our planet's climate for the profit of an elite few.

THE FATWAS OF GRAND AYATOLLAH MOHAMMED HUSSEIN FADLALLAH

The LA Times had an interesting article in its 2-06-08 issue by Borzou Daraghai (“Lebanon Cleric Advises ‘Modern Shiites’”). It’s a good tonic against the rising tide of Islamophobia engulfing the West in general and the US in particular. Just think of the hysterical reactions we have read about when a Muslim was elected to Congress and a high school dedicated to Arabic studies and language was opened in New York City.

The Southern Hemisphere World Naked Bike Ride is coming up fast. Just 8 weeks away. Now is prime scheming and planning time.
Routes, colorful paints and creative stories to tell the very confused police.

Let 2008 be the year of the colorful naked people on bicycles. A fun
new world is just a bicycle and a paintbrush away.

So, if you are planning on organizing a WNBR ride in your part of the
world, now is the time to do it.

One great suggestion to build up excitement and get media awarness is to organize a WNBR film screening night. There are now several great films about WNBR. For more info on films visit

DES MOINES, Iowa - A federal appeals court ruled Monday that the state of Iowa cannot fund an evangelical Christian prison ministry program because doing so advances or endorses religion, violating the Constitutional separation of church and state.

There is an interesting review by the British philosopher Anthony Kenny in the August 17, 2007 issue of TLS: "Reason to believe". It is a review of a book by atheist turned Christian Alister McGrath and his wife Joanna Collicutt McGrath. The book is "The Dawkins Delusion? Atheist fundamentalism and the denial of the divine." This a very small book, only 98 pages.

The McGraths take exception to Dawkins's recent book "The God Delusion." Kenny points out, as have others, that Dawkins's book "has a strident and aggressive tone." Dawkins also thinks "that religion is the root of all evil." This is an idealist position which ignores the role of social and historical circumstances in the development of religions and confuses secondary causative factors with primary.
