The Global Resistance
Network is a non-partisan entity that advocates world peace with social justice. We were formed in the face
of the current neoconservative-rightwing offensive, culminating with W. Bush’s reelection. Our objective is to unite
theory and analysis with social praxis. In synthesis, these are the two pillars
from which we will grow from the weak to the strong, from the few to the many, and from the politically defensive to the offensive.
Our only point of departure is that this unity be directed against the threat of the growing executive powers, against
the predatory wars and occupations, and against corporate "globalization." We seek unity in our resistance!

Problems in Texas Election
By Greg
Moses
It's not the first time I've occupied

A Specter in Nepal
By Gary Leupp
While the U.S. is absorbed in building
an empire in the "Greater Middle East," which will strengthen its position vis-a-vis other imperialist powers throughout the
"New American Century," a revived specter of communism emerges throughout South Asia. And there's not much the U.S. can do
about it. [Read Full]

Out; Right About 9/11
By Robert
Jensen
I state that bluntly, even though I disagree with some aspects of the
