ESSONOGO!
One corporation donated more dollars to get
Bush into
the White House than any other oil company.
Esso,
known as
ExxonMobil in the US, does not want clean
energy from wind, wave and solar power to replace oil, coal and gas
because fuelling America's oil addiction means big big profits.And now President Bush has ditched the only international treaty to stop global warming. As far as he's concerned, US corporations have the "right" to pollute the entire planet. Esso and Bush thought that, once they'd bought the election, they'd be too big for the rest of us to stop them. But they just might be wrong! We can choose not to buy their products.

7-10PM WORLDWIDE, ALL TIME ZONES
As an alternative to George Bush's lack of emphasis on efficiency, conservation and alternative fuels, you are encouraged to participate in a global voluntary ROLLING BLACKOUT on this, the first day of summer. If everyone does it from 7-10pm in his or her time zone, it will roll it around the planet.In a simple protest and symbolic act, please turn out your lights, unplug whatever you can unplug, light a candle to the Sungoddess, kiss and tell or not, take a stroll in the dark, invent ghost stories, anything that's not electronic - have fun in the dark. Conservation/high efficiency technologies are ALREADY on-the-shelf. If implemented, these revolutionary ideas would pay themselves off within five years, after which we'd be pumping far less greenhouse gas into the atmosphere and saving bucks to boot. Forward this email as widely as possible, not forgetting your government representatives and environmental allies. Let them know we want global education, participation and funding in conservation, efficiency and alternative fuel efforts - and an end to over-exploitation and misuse of the earth's resources. In the same breath that the Cheney-Bush team is telling us that "conservation can't help, it'll just be too expensive to implement those technologies," they're also telling us how easy it is to develop technology to deploy weapons for blowing incoming ICBMs out of the sky.

YOU 2376 Dear Fraser, I was on your email list for a few years, and then I went to live in India for two years (where I have been working for an enlightened master called Dolano). So please put me back on it! I was interested to go to the Den of Enlightenment - my first night out since I've been back in this country. Especially interested because I have been living in Pune, seeing masters come and go. I found Guru Dave's speech somewhat interesting but also somewhat confused. Is he representative of London's current Satsang style? I would also like to hear more trance, the music was so hard. But I loved the drumming in the front room. Thank you for a great night. It is SO good to see someone trying to bring London clubs beyond the usual boring drugged out mess that they are.

The move comes as the Giuliani administration intensifies its long-running battle against a handful of Manhattan dance clubs that city officials say are havens of drug use and occasional violence. No one at Twilo was arrested, police officials said. Instead, officials shut the club, at 530 West 27th Street, after determining that its certificate of occupancy and place of assembly permits had not been properly issued or maintained. Officials also said that the club's fire protection plan was not up to date and that it had not gotten required approvals for first-floor renovations. A Department of Buildings spokesman said the six year old club, known for its electronic music and dancing that lasts until well after dawn, would not be allowed to reopen until the violations were resolved. "They are shut down until further notice, indefinitely," said the spokesman, Paul Wein, adding that a June 21 court date had been set. Peter R. Sullivan, a lawyer for the club, said the violations were technical and called the club's closing unjustified. "It's absolutely guaranteed it will be reopened," he said. The enforcement tactic used yesterday reflected a strategy by the city to no longer issue or renew permits to Twilo and other troubled clubs, unless directly ordered to do so by the court. So, if a permit expires or needs amending, even for a minor inconsistency, the city may refuse to do so and then shut the club down, Deputy Mayor Rudy Washington said. For example, part of the justification for closing Twilo yesterday, officials said, was that its basement assembly permit was invalid, at least in part, because it was issued to Sound Factory, a club that used to operate at that location. Mr. Washington was not ready to declare a lasting victory against Twilo, saying that the city's action could be overturned in court. The Giuliani administration has been trying to close Twilo since at least November 1998, when the city, citing the drug overdose of a patron, filed a lawsuit declaring the club a public nuisance. City officials contend that clubs like Twilo and the Tunnel, another West 27th Street establishment, do not do enough to prevent the use and sale of drugs like ecstasy. But the clubs have just as vehemently responded that they are doing their part, hiring private security officers, including some who work undercover. Mr. Sullivan said the fact that the state courts have allowed Twilo to stay open despite the lawsuit was proof that the club was well managed. He claimed the city's efforts were misguided. "It is very sad that the city continues to hide the absence of a policy concerning drug abuse by the dancing public by demonizing Twilo". Twilo regulars, some of whom learned of the news yesterday on the club's Internet site, seemed to agree with Mr. Sullivan. "Almost all clubs have fire code violations," one patron wrote on the site's message board. Another called the code violations an "excuse to ensure that there are no bumps in the road in Giuliani's Disney-gentrification plan to have NYC become an ultraconservative suburb." RAVE CRACKDOWN THE FIGHTBACK CONTINUES San Francisco BORDER CANTINA GRANTED LATE NIGHT PERMITS! New Pro Late Night Legislation Introduced! San Francisco Supervisor Chris Daly has introduced new legislation which, if passed, could abolish the Dance Hall Keepers' Permit, currently one of the biggest hurdles to holding late night events in the city. Despite the current RAVE CRACKDOWN, groups are fighting back on too many levels to itemise or for the authorities to respond to! (they just don't have the manpower or the money!) In San Francisco SFLNC helped organise the above City Hall attendance and in the same week helped a local club get their late night permits. http://www.sflnc.com NEW ORLEANS SITUATION UPDATE The EMDEF has information about the DEA's latest video which compares raves and nightclubs to "crackhouses." Meanwhile, back in the UK, the grandmother of Rave Culture, newspapers have been reporting that similar "crackhouse laws" passed through parliament last Friday. However, it's technically an extension of the Misuse of Drugs Act which has, until now, only empowered police to act where cannabis was being used or sold on the premises. Logically enough, they've now extended it to include all drugs. Sorta using the pot laws to bust for other drugs. Truth is they could have used this law already to bust any promoter/owner on whose premises someone was smoking a joint. Let's see, that's... every club I've been to in the last year ;) {posted on the Para YOU web site} YOU 2380 FRI MAY 18 Now using THREE rooms of the club. Art, Dancing, smiles and bouncy sounds.
