Opinion: Speaking Truth to Truthers

admin @ November 12, 2008 # 2 Comments

As a wise person put it, the losses are permanent, the victories are only temporary. Each new shock comes before we have recovered from the last one. JFK was assassinated 45 years ago and there is still no closure.

The American people don’t want to know the truth and they will not rise up. They are comfortable with genocide. Ask yourself how many dedicated peace activists you know personally who voted for continuing war crimes under the command of Barack Obama.

Many of the Democratic gatekeeper sites urged people to vote for Obama by saying that first we had to elect him and then we could hold his feet to the fire. But they already knew from his FISA vote, his vote to fund the wars, and his bailout vote, that he has asbestos shoes and doesn’t care what people say or think. Now they are purging dissidents and saying that nobody should criticize Obama, that we have to accept the “centrism” of Rahm Emanuel and Nancy Pelosi, two Democrats who are far to the political right of Bush and Cheney. They never intended to press Obama for peace, they wanted more genocide.

What I Learned At The Sarah Palin Rally Before They Threw Me Out

admin @ October 8, 2008 # 4 Comments

On Saturday I went to Carson, California, to attend a rally for Republican Vice Presidential candidate, Sarah Palin. For those who aren’t familiar with the city of Carson, it’s approximately 19 miles south of downtown Los Angeles. In the 2004 Presidential election, Carson, which had a population of just under 90,000, donated three times as much money to George W. Bush than to John Kerry. This year, for the 2008 elections, residents of Carson have given slightly more to Republican candidates than to Democrats by a slim margin of $3,000. Thus the gap between Republicans and Democrats in Carson has narrowed. The Palin rally, which you may have seen on youtube and TV, was held at the Home Depot ADT Tennis Stadium.

Scoop: Cindy Sheehan Reveals Plan for New Political Party, Reflects on Race Against Pelosi

admin @ October 7, 2008 # 2 Comments

Anti War activist and challenger for House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s Congressional Seat (CD 8, California), Cindy Sheehan has indicated her intention to launch a National political party after the U.S. Election of Nov. 4

Inspired in part by Mark Twain’s involvement in The American Anti Imperialst League (also chaired by Andrew Carnegie and former President Grover Cleveland, fyi) in reaction to the annexation of the Phillippines by the United States in the late 19th Century, Sheehan said that the party will have a progressive platform and that after Nov. 4, “no matter what happens, we need to consolidate the energy against Imperialism and work on building another party movement.”

Al Franken v Norm Coleman (and Al Gore): Sunday Night Live, Tuesday Night Reckoning

admin @ October 6, 2008 # No Comment Yet

Norm Coleman, incumbent Republican Senator faced SNL alum, Air America broadcaster, and DFL challenger Al Franken and Independence Party candidate at the end of a week that saw Franken polling ahead of Coleman in a solid 43-34 percent lead. Barkley makes up the rear with 18 percent. The poll of 1,084 likely voters conducted by Princeton Survey Research Associates International between Sept. 30 and Oct. 2, was released by the Star Minnesota Tribune Poll.

Coleman found himself on the defence for much of Sunday’s debate, the first of five scheduled meetings in one of this election cycle’s most-watched, and most expensive Senate races.

Coleman and Franken traded barbs, with Dean Barkley occasionally joining in to criticise Coleman on his continued support of the war in Iraq. Other issues such as the $700 billion bailout bill, education, and questionable ads run by the Coleman campaign were discussed.
