Pacific Free Press was launched in March 2007 by Dutch-Canadian Richard Kastelein of V.O.F. Expathos, in the Netherlands along with Chris Cook - CFUV radio journalist and Editor in Chief of Pacific Free Press. Cook is based in , Victoria, British Columbia.

The site is a sister to Atlantic Free Press.

The mission of Pacific Free Press is simple: to dig out nuggets of truth from the slag-heap of lies, ignorance and witless diversion that has buried public discourse today. Pacific Free Press provides a new venue for disseminating hard news and insightful, fact-based analysis of the harsh realities too often ignored or distorted by the mainstream press.

Pastors for Peace Caravan Returning from Cuba Monday July 14 to Request Release of Seized Computers Destined for Cuba by Pastors for Peace The Pastors for Peace US/Cuba Friendshipment Caravan will return to the US on Monday June 14 after delivering nearly 100 tons of humanitarian aid to Cuba, and will request the return of the 32 donated computers for Cuba that were seized from their caravan by US officials on July 3. image "We will continue to challenge this dumb, foolish, petty, counterproductive, mean-spirited, and immoral blockade until it is ended," said Rev. Lucius Walker, Jr., executive director of IFCO/Pastors for Peace. The caravan is returning to the US on the same day as the Venceremos Brigade and several other organizations engaging in challenging US restrictions on travel to Cuba. Friends in Solidarity with Cuba: Here's the latest on the 19th Friendshipment Caravan to Cuba. Let's keep our eyes on it and let's be ready for action if need be. We'll keep you updated. - Randy Caravaggio - Victoria Goods for Cuba Campaign The members of the caravan had an eight-day educational program in Cuba that included visits to different provinces, to homes for the elderly, and health care facilities. They also visited the Latin American School of Medicine, where students from 30 nations are studying free of charge to be doctors, in order to serve their communities in their home countries. More than 100 of those students are from the US. Pastors for Peace is a project of the Interreligious Foundation for Community Organization (IFCO), which has a 40-year history of work in favor of social justice.

The bookmobile (driven by Dana and volunteer Jerry as co-driver) made it to Tampico, from there to Havana with the other donated humanitarian goods. I have contacted my federal representatives concerning the confiscation of the P for P computers. The Border Patrol is the worst, said nothing, could do nothing, no suggestions and no excuses after I spoke to various offices. Hope all went well with the caravan. Dana will be back home on the 15th of July.
