Guns: The Deluded Dualistic Liberaloids Explode!

Image
by Diane Gee There is nothing that can show the binary thinking of modern man more a tragedy in the US. Tragedies are tragic in every sense, but somehow American Exceptionalism feeds into some need for a 24/7 media frenzy disproportionate to the reality of what same Exceptionailsm wreaks upon the rest of the World. A hundred killed at a Pakistani wedding? Nary a peep. A thousand born with grotesque birth defects in Fallujia? Meh. But give us a plane flown into a IRS building, a white girl kidnapped, a fertilizer bomb in Oklahoma, and we go rabid. Add any tragedy involving guns? And it becomes a meth frenzy of polarization, leaving absolutely no room for shades of grey in the reactionary public. We don't have plane debates, fertilizer debates, racial unfairness in missing kid debates, but god damn. We do have gun debates. And? There is nothing more divisive than this subject. Somewhere between the crazed militia types and the screeching, preaching abolitionists? Sa

Keep Socialism on the Ballot--Register Peace and Freedom Party in California

Image
CLICK HERE TO REGISTER, OR RE-REGISTER PEACE AND FREEDOM PARTY IN CALIFORNIA  In the June Primary of 2010, corporate interests misled California voters into passing Proposition 14, which replaces the June partisan primary elections with the first round of a partly partisan, partly non-partisan "top two" election in which political parties no longer nominate candidates for office. The November General Elections are thereby reserved for the "top two" vote getters, usually the two richest candidates. Independent party candidates will not appear on the ballot and even write-in votes will not be counted. Prop 14 makes an already seriously flawed electoral system even worse by striking a devastating blow against independent parties like Peace and Freedom which receive no funds from corporate interests. Although touted as an “Open Primary” measure, Prop 14 will in fact close November General Elections to all but the two richest candid

Roseanne for President Press Release FOR IMMEDIATE PRESS RELEASE      Contacts: Cat Woods 415-218-8138  David Josué djosue@yahoo.com campaign@roseanneforpresident.org July 29, 2012 ROSEANNE BARR ANNOUNCES RUNNING MATE FOR PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN Roseanne Barr announced that Cindy Sheehan will be her running mate in her bid for the Peace and Freedom Party’s nomination for President. Sheehan is an anti-war activist who first gained national attention for her protest camp outside then-President Bush’s Texas ranch. Barr said, “Cindy and I are the ‘Throw the Bums Out’ ticket and the ‘Ballot Access’ ticket. We want people to register in the Peace and Freedom Party so that the party can keep its ballot status in California.” After the passage of the ‘Top Two primary” in 2010, alternative political parties lost one of their ways of staying on the ballot. The Peace and Freedom Party needs approximately 40,000 more registrants to maintain its ballot status beyond 20

That Day in History: August 6th by Cindy Sheehan

That Day in History: August 6th Cindy Sheehan August 6 th is the 218 th day of the year; (219 th during a leap year); its astrological sign is Leo the Lion and, most importantly, to our consumer based culture: 140 MORE SHOPPING DAYS UNTIL XMAS! August 6 th is also a significant day globally, historically, and personally for me. Throughout the ages, August 6 th has seen the founding of Bogota, Columbia (1538); the Treaty of the Hague between Portugal and the Dutch Republic (1661); 60 proof sheets of the US Constitution were delivered to the Constitutional Convention in Philly (1787); the Holy Roman Empire went kaput; (1806); the first person is executed by electric chair in NYS (1890); The Cuban Revolution nationalized all foreign companies (1960); President LBJ (remember when we called presidents by their initials?) signed the Civil Rights Act into law (1965); numerous battles happen during numerous wars; and probably the most significant event in human history h

Venezuela: A Threat to DC? By Eva Golinger

 http://www.chavezcode.com/2012/07/venezuela-threat-to-washington.html CHILDREN IN VENEZUELA From the first time Hugo Chavez was elected President of Venezuela in 1998, Washington and its allies have been trying to undermine his government. When Chavez was just a presidential candidate, the US State Department denied his visa to participate in television interviews in Miami. Later, when he won the presidential elections, Ambassador John Maisto called him personally to congratulate him and offer him a visa. The following months were filled with attempts to “buy” the newly elected President of Venezuela. Businessmen, politicians and heads of state from Washington and Spain pressured him to submit to their agendas. “Come with us”, urged Spanish Prime Minister Jose Maria Aznar, trying to seduce him with offers of wealth and luxury in turn for obeying orders. When Chavez refused to be bought, he was ousted in a coup d’etat April 11, 2002, funded and planned by Washingt

Desolation! Creation! Communication! (Obfuscation!)

In the beginning... I've been more than a little troubled lately. It started before the Kony thing. I suppose it started with Watergate, truth be told. I was 9 in '72. I had been given a reading assignment to read the newspapers for an English class. I found out that the Government lies. I was, frankly, not so shocked. I mean, I had already heard about what our "good guys" were doing in Vietnam. I had already argued with the Parish Priest about God damning babies who never even heard of Jesus. My 18 year old sister had been dead 3 years already, and my Mom was well on her way to being a less covert alcoholic. I wasn't born cynical, but sure as fuck wasn't innocent long. Martin, Robert and John. Iran/Contra. What used to be called investigative reporting is now regarded as tin-foil hat and conspiracy. What happened to "question everything?" I'm beginning to question even my line of questioning. Are we being played even in our resi

Nuclear Weapons: The Most Inconvenient Truth

For Immediate Release Celebrating thirty-five years of nonviolent resistance to the Trident nuclear weapons system, Ground Zero Center for Nonviolent Action will honor two of its co-founders, Jim and Shelley Douglass, who will speak at its annual August event at the Ground Zero Center in Kitsap County, Washington.   By the 1980s the Douglasses and a community of activists were organizing people across the county to protest the “White Trains” that carried nuclear weapons to Naval Base Kitsap-Bangor.   In subsequent years the community that became Ground Zero Center for Nonviolent Action has continued the spirit of resistance to the Trident nuclear weapons system with regularly scheduled vigils and nonviolent direct actions at the Bangor Trident submarine base. The theme for the August 4 th – 6 th event, “NUCLEAR WEAPONS: The Most Inconvenient Truth”, will focus participants on the history, current status, cost, and future plans for more nuclear new sub

Occupy the Bohemian Grove

http://theava.com/archives/16322 Article which appeared in the Anderson Valley Advertiser by Darwin Bond-Graham “Lovely place, the finest food and drink, gay orgies in every lodge, what a well earned retreat for me and my billionaire friends!”  — Anonymous Google+ review “Worked there for many years. No devil worship, no sacrifices, no gay orgies. Just older gentleman camping on a retreat and playing dominos, play writes, music, acting, great food.”  — Another anonymous Google+ review * * * There are probably three wacky conspiracy theories for every one realistic account of the Bohemian Club. It doesn’t help that what happens every summer at the Club’s “Grove” campground along the forested banks Russian River in Sonoma County includes a bizarre mix of silly druidic rituals that only feed the rumor mill of Satanism and sexcapades. The proliferation of wacky stories about the Grove gathering are unfortunate because the truth about the Bohemian Clu

"The madness of this course, we believe, is admitted now...but we fear the lesson is wholly lost on our present ruler." - Frederick Douglass, from his speech, What to the Slave is the Fourth of July? "The challenge remains. On the other side are formidable forces: money, political power, the major media. On our side are the people of the world and a power greater than money or weapons: the truth." - Howard Zinn The truth is that at this moment of time in this, the 21st century, the vast majority of everyday ordinary Black, White, Brown, Red, and Yellow people in the United States are de facto s laves. That's right - slaves. A hit list abroad means there is a hit list at home We are slaves to the psychological, economic, and physical dictates of a                              self-legitimized organized corporate / military crime syndicate known as the United States government.
