BATON-BASHED IN DENVER! IS THIS REALLY WHAT DEMOCRACY LOOKS LIKE?!

admin @ August 27, 2008 # No Comment Yet

There are characteristics essential to being a member of the peace and social justice organization, CODEPINK. Chief among them is compassion. One can hardly dedicate one’s life to improving the lives of others if there isn’t an abiding drive to help those in need. Thus, it was no surprise to those who know her when 24 year old CODEPINK member, Alicia Forrest, in search of the truth, used her camera to document the arrest of a young man swarmed and overpowered by Denver sheriffs during a demonstration in Denver.

Editorial/Action: Another Way To (Not) Approach ‘08

admin @ August 9, 2008 # No Comment Yet

A large planned protest gives Homeland Security and local law enforcement a chance to test out all their crowd control gear. They really need a way to justify all the money that has been spent on crowd control when there were no unruly crowds to control. Protesting the convention is like a battered wife saying, “I’m going to confront him and tell him not to hit me any more. I have rights,” instead of going to a shelter and getting away from the batterer. It’s asking for more brutality.

They want a repeat of old convention protests with much brutality and a lot of press coverage, and they’ll get it. And spend the next few years in court trying to get compensation for injuries and false arrest for the ones who aren’t killed. So sad. Such brave young people with such creative minds and they aren’t open to doing things differently. They have all the right ideas about democracy, but they are still thinking in terms of violent revolution.

Call to Action: General Strike Called for 9/11/08

admin @ July 26, 2008 # No Comment Yet

More and more people are calling for a General Strike, for a way to withdraw our support from a system which seems heedless to the will of the people. Our governmental representatives treat
us as if “We the Rabble” are to be ignored. One group, vote strike, is doing incredible and
substantive work in calling for a General Strike on 9/11/08, with smaller strikes and economic boycotts between now and then.

I urge you to consider this call to a General Strike, the use of non-violent resistance. It is a time-honored technique, possible beginning with “Lysistrata,” and effectively used several times in the
past one hundred years.

Perhaps the only effective action left to take now in order to stop the gears and levers of this lemming-like perpetual motion machine of destruction is—to do nothing. That’s right, nothing.
To go on strike.

Preview: Segment of 8 Part Interview w. Robert Young Pelton

admin @ July 18, 2008 # One Comment

The following interview w/ Robert Young Pelton was conducted for a radio program and for 2 European print magazines, both now defunct. However the information and clarity that Pelton offers during the course of the interview clarifies his position and reasons for writing Licensed to Kill:Hired Guns In The War On Terror.

Speaking candidly about Blackwater, Eric Prince, Sandline, Tim Spicer, media manipulation, marketing, and a wide array of subjects, we see why Pelton’s writing is often misinterpreted despite his own clarity. Many come to his work with their own preconcieved notions and try to superimpose their politics on his frank and honest reportage.

As once written in a brief for a 2002 interview with Salon.com,”Robert Young Pelton, author of “The World’s Most Dangerous Places,” says the U.S. military has killed “thousands and thousands” of people in Afghanistan, al-Qaida is a myth and the WTC was brought down by a “Mickey Mouse” outfit.”

Pelton would know however. He has been there.

BULLETIN-Impeachment on House Floor Today-July 10

admin @ July 10, 2008 # No Comment Yet

Rep. Dennis Kucinich, true to his promise, is reintroducing an Impeachment motion against President Bush today. The media virtually ignored the last Impeachment move by Kucinich - with the exception of MSNBC’s Keith Olbermann - who brought on a Constitutional expert who lauded the move.

It won’t be much of a surprise to see Kucinich’s fellow Democrats continue to renege on their 2006 mandate, nor will it be a surprise to see mainstream media ignore it yet again. What will citizens, however, do this time around?

BUSH’S KNESSET REMARKS AN APPALLING DISPLAY OF HYPOCRISY AND IGNORANCE

admin @ July 7, 2008 # No Comment Yet

President George W. Bush’s deceit has no limits. His attack on Sen. Barack Obama, suggesting the Democratic presidential candidate wants to “appease” terrorists, reaches a new low, and we should brace for more as the Busheviks desperately and ruthlessly try to cling to the White House.
…
“Playing to his Jewish audience, many with family members killed in the Holocaust, Bush used emotionally charged imagery and historically false parallels in a vile and shameless attempt to score political points in Israel and the United States”

“Bush showed stunning chutzpah, dropping the Nazi bomb in his speech. Recall that his grandfather Prescott Bush was enjoying the comfort of money in 1939 after his investment firm, Brown Brothers Harriman, helped feed and finance the Nazi war machine.”…

“In 2004, Britain’s Guardian scoured through National Archive documents and records in the Library of Congress that detailed Prescott Bush’s firm’s role in providing financing and banking services for Fritz Thyssen, a German industrialist and early supporter of Hitler and the Nazis.”
…
“So does this make Bush’s granddaddy a Nazi sympathizer and enabler? Not necessarily. It was just business. The Bushes wouldn’t let the stigma of being linked to a murderous, totalitarian regime get in their way of making a few (or millions) of dollars. Making money from war and death is genetically ingrained in the Bush family.”…
