March 4, 2012, 8:25 a.m.
During the heyday of the U.S. & international labor movements in the 1930s & 1940s. Ferdinand Smith, the Jamaican-born co-founder and second-in-
command of the National Maritime Union, stands out as one of the most "if not the most" powerful black labor leaders in the United States. Smith's active membership in the Communist Party, however, coupled with his bold labor radicalism & shaky immigration status, brought him under continual surveillance by U.S. authorities, especially during the red Scare in the '50s. Smith was eventually deported to his homeland of Jamaica, where he continued his radical labor & political organizing until his death in 1961. Horne draws on Smith's life to make insightful connections between labor radicalism & the Civil Rights Movement "demonstrating that the gains of the latter were propelled by the former & undermined by anticommunism". More-over, Red Seas uncovers the little-known experiences of black sailors & the contribution to the struggle for labor and civil rights, the history of the Communist Party & its black members, & the significant dimension of Jamaican labor & political radicalism.

WSQT/Adbusters promo for G20/NATO protests May 19 Chicago
March 3, 2012, 6:43 p.m.
On January 25th, Adbusters (who released the call to action that ignited the Occupy movement) announced plans to convene "the biggest multinational occupation of a summit meeting the world has ever seen." The protest, starting May 1, will be a response to a "rare simultaneous summit" of the G8 and NATO in Chicago.
In a scale of action not seen since the 1999 WTO protests in Seattle, #OccupyChicago is intending to draw at least 50,000 people to create a counteracting presence to the "worldâs military and political elites, heads of state, 7,500 officials from 80 nations, and more than 2,500 journalists" who will attend the summit.
Calling for a "month-long people's summit" that will assemble to "set the agenda for the next few years and demand our leaders carry it out," the call to action states that
"if they donât listen ⦠if they ignore us and put our demands on the back burner like theyâve done so many times before ⦠then, with Gandhian ferocity, weâll flashmob the streets, shut down stock exchanges, campuses, corporate headquarters and cities across the globe ⦠weâll make the price of doing business as usual too much to bear.
"Jammers, pack your tents, muster up your courage and prepare for a big bang in Chicago this Spring. If we donât stand up now and fight now for a different kind of future we may not have much of a future ⦠so letâs live without dead time for a month in May and see what happens â¦"

Occupy DC blockades DC office of Monsanto, 12 arrests
March 3, 2012, 5:31 p.m.
On the 29th of February, Occupy DC activists blockaded the DC headquarters of Monsanto. Monsanto is a member of ALEC, the notorious right-wing outfit that helps corporations like Monsanto write their own regulatory and other legislation. In the case of Monsanto, that means legislation to allow the sale of their genetically-engineered Frankenfood. It also means trade treaties and legislation favorable to lawsuits against farmers over their dispicable practice of patenting seeds.
After stopping at ALEC's headquarter, Occupy DC arrived at Monsanto's I street headquarters just before 8 AM, rolling in with carts carrying boards to block the doors.
(Clip)
The police tried but failed keep Occupy from deploying boards blocking the doors. At one door, two whole lines of beautifully painted boards were in place blocking the doors by 8 AM
(clip)
After police managed to push away the boards, a second layer of blockades remained in place-arm locked protesters again blocking the doors. One of the 4 sets of doors was soon cleared of blockaders, only to leave a chain lock on the doors themeslves.
The blockade lasted over an hour and a half, it wasn't until 9:30 AM that Monsanto was able to open their doors for business. Twelve people were arrested, ten at the blockades but two more for trying to take a survey of cops about police brutality. Man, that is UGLY!
(clip)
One cop, Officer Freeman, Badge #18, was pushing women around all day, far more than men. I guess that gives new meaning to "copping a feel!" Copping a feel of not, those cops wern't able to keep Occupy DC from shutting down Monsanto for over an hour on the national "shut down the corporations day!"
