[SDCPJ] Natural Beekeeping: Lecture and Workshop

Natural Beekeeping: Turning Crisis into Resurrection

Lecture and Workshop

with David Basile from Rudolf Steiner College

April 3 & 4, 2009 in National City, California


Friday Lecture, April 3, 7-9pm

"Turning Crisis into Resurrection"

The fate of civilization and humanity itself is highly dependent upon the tiny bee. Though her future looks bleak, there are holistic ways for us to resurrect her, and in so doing, ourselves.


Saturday Workshop, April 4, 9am-5pm

"The Way of the Honeybee –

Overcoming Crisis by Turning to the Spiritual Source"

By looking deeply into the life and ways of the honeybee, we will come to understand the natural wisdom expressed in her instincts. This will guide us to methods for respectfully restoring her sweet health. We will take a Biodynamic approach to the study of the honeybee, revealing a little of the meaning of Nature and our role as her stewards.


Suggested Donation, $10 for Lecture, $75 for Workshop. Please donate what you can to support this important work. All interested individuals welcome.


Limited seating. Please RSVP by calling Triena at

619-282-4358 or Martha at 619-306-6863.

Iraq: 142,000 US troops and 100,000+ mercenaries still in Iraq. President Obama says he intends to withdraw the troops. We need to let him know that we want all the troops and mercenaries out now.


Afghanistan: 35,000 US troops + 17,000 more on the way. 7+ years of war with no end in sight. We need to bring the troops home now.


Palestine: 1400 Palestinians killed in December/January, Gaza in ruins, the blockade continues, all made possible by US aid to Israel. We need to end US aid to Israel.


War spending: $1 trillion a year and growing, while teachers get pink slips and the depression deepens. We need money for jobs, healthcare and education, not for war and occupation.


Be there! Bring your friends, fellow activists, coworkers, and fellow students. Bring your signs and banners. Spread the word. Forward this email as widely as possible (or write and distribute your own).

[SDCPJ] Reminder: Barack Obama and the Left, Sunday, March 15, 09 - Socialist Salon

Occupations continue, Corporation Collude...

What can we do to prevent a rightward drift?

- Socialist Salon -
Discussions with Lefties

Exit Fwy. 8 at College Ave. North on College, left on Del Cerro Blvd, right on Theta Place, left on Romany Drive. 6142 is third house on the right. (Bring light, potluck snacks if you wish)

San Diego Socialist Unity Network
is holding a series of forums to encourage deeper political discussions, which look strategically at our movement, the path to social transformation & a new social order. We use this opportunity to tackle many major issues of our times from a non-sectarian, left perspective in a challenging yet relaxed setting. 

Barack Obama and the Left

Both Obama's record as a Senator and his campaign for President put him to the left of his post election media characterization as a "centrist." Clearly a massive grass roots support put him in office to accomplish goals well beyond where his short record stands today: Republican appointments to his cabinet and a compromised response to the economic crises.  A massive grass roots campaign can move his agenda back on track, but is it up to the task of a long-term struggle to do so?  Will we see the coalition of new voters, youth and labor doing the heavy political lifting to roll back the right's efforts to derail "change?" And, if so, when and in what manner? Will it include renewed efforts in the "red states" to bring support to a progressive agenda and possibly impact elections in November 2010?

Obama's speeches on the economy give hope that real change can come, but his announced policies on peace, Iraq and Afghanistan have been  disappointing.  We will discuss options for the left and the peace movement to move U.S. policy in the right direction.

We hope to see you on Sunday.

San Diego Socialist Unity Network regular meetings alternate with Socialist Salons on the 3rd Sunday of each month. 
The regular meetings are at the Activist Center, 4246 Wightman St., from 4:30-7 pm. You are invited to attend.

[SDCPJ] Stop Blackwater Protest Rally at Southwestern College 3/11/09 6:30 p.m.

Stop Blackwater Protest Rally at Southwestern College. Wednesday March 11th, 6:30pm. Put a stop to agreement between SWC and Blackwater to allow the firm to use on-campus conference rooms for mercenary recruiting. After the rally, attend Governing Board meeting at 7pm in Room 214 regarding agenda Item 12: "Reconsideration of Memorandum of Understanding with Blackwater Lodge and Training Center, Inc." The college is located at 900 Otay Lakes Road, Chula Vista, CA 91910. Info: 619-820-5321

***********************************************************************************

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:


March 3, 2009

Oversight Group “COPs” wants Blackwater Agreement with Southwestern College Pulled.


Agreement inappropriate in both form and process.



SAN DIEGO, CA (March 3, 2009) – The Citizens' Oversight Projects Cte (COPs) has submitted a four-page letter to the Board of Trustees of the Southwestern College District regarding the agreement between Southwestern College District and Blackwater Lodge and Training Center (recently renamed “Xe, Inc.”) which provides that the district can use Blackwater's shooting range in Otay Mesa in trade for fees for personnel to operate the range and Blackwater's use of on-campus conference rooms. COPs wants the agreement revisited and revoked.


The letter detailed 13 points regarding the Memorandum of Understanding No.4039.09 to support the position that the agreement was not processed correctly and includes provisions that should never appear in such agreements. In summary, it asserts that:

  • The global poor reputation of Blackwater cannot be ignored. Such an agreement implies that the District approves of the reputation of Blackwater.

  • San Diego has already had bitter experience fighting Blackwater's proposals, and they have been opposed by the community by a 2:1 margin.

  • The Otay Mesa facility, where the shooting range under question is located, was developed without public review, under various pseudonyms, and using the Federal Courts to force the City of San Diego to approve occupancy permits.

  • As a private for-profit organization, the public has no oversight of their facility nor what activities occur within it.

  • The MOU claims there is no cost to the district, but it also states that Blackwater will be reimbursed for the use of personnel required to operate the range. This is in violation of the premise that such MOUs will not obligate the district.

  • Provides that Blackwater will have use of on-campus conference rooms to give the impression that they are part of Southwestern College, and that their programs are approved, endorsed, sponsored, or even underwritten by the College. How and how much these conference rooms are used is not limited, apparently allowing Blackwater to setup a recruiting station for their private mercenary army on campus.

  • The MOU includes a “gag-order” that prevented the District from adequately notifying the public of this proposal, and all statements must be approved by Blackwater.

  • The NDA and Waiver (Exhibits A and B) were not in the agenda packet and are still not available for review, and the Arbitration clause is of concern.

  • Law enforcement trainees would be taken to a facility of a firm that is interested in recruiting their own private army, mercenaries deployed internationally under the banner of Greystone Ltd, Xe, Inc. in guns-for-hire scenarios. This is certainly inappropriate.

  • No open bidding process was used. Other mercenary firms may pay more to get on campus to recruit to these private armies. This agreement does not meet normal government procurement procedures.

The agreement with Southwestern College District was formulated to avoid public scrutiny, and even includes a gag-order to keep Trustees quiet,” COPS coordinator Raymond Lutz said. “We already know of the character of this company and other private mercenary firms who are now desperate to establish new funding opportunities. Blackwater presents this agreement as a gift to the community, but that is far from reality. They are reimbursed and also gain access to the campus with an unspoken endorsement for on-campus mercenary recruiting. This agreement must be revoked.”


The letter was also endorsed by a number of organizations, including Activist San Diego, American Friends Service Committee – San Diego, Citizens Against Private Armies (CAPA), Peace Resource Center of San Diego, San Diego Veterans For Peace, and the Stop Blackwater Working Group of the San Diego Coalition for Peace and Justice.
