Wars and conflicts International USA

​​​​You know, I hate to be accusatory, but there comes a time when
you’ve got to call people out on their bogus logic. This incredible
smoking gun memo just came out, now we KNOW that Bush Lied to start the
war and that all the WMD threats were bogus, the neocons were ’fixing
the facts’ to sell it to the gullible American public. Why aren’t all
honest members of Congress raising
hell? Troops are still dying everyday- dying so Bush the Liar can save
face- we need to stop this NOW. Immediate action is called for,
protests now to Demand Congressional Action.

related audio: Ramsey Clark- Impeach W (4.5mb MP3)
It is up to US to Demand Action from Congress

And what do US anti-war groups think? These ’progressive leaders’ have
called for protests Sept 24-26. Huh? Why September? Bush lied, it’s all
come out, they stole $9 billion and didn’t investigate, they spread
radioactive waste across Iraq, and they PLANNED THE WAR IN 2002 !!!
This equates to pre-meditated murder on a mass scale. How much proof
does one need? They lied, they’re looting, sinking our kids in debt-
it’s sick... and the biggest US anti-war groups plan a protest this
fall? All those kids that are going to die between now and then... it’s
ok because you’re busy til late September?

Where
is the logic in waiting 4 months? It’s too hot in the summer? College
kids are getting summer jobs? What possible reason could they
have to protest in September, rather than right NOW!

To me, it just seems logical that this call for a late September
protest is a Cointelpro action. Cointelpro (peace group infiltration) was real in the ’70s, and everything Bushco is doing today is much
worse than what Nixon did in the ’70s... It is entirely possible, and
judging by their actions probable, that the biggest ’anti-war’
groups are infiltrated, if not setup by Cointelpro
type influences.

It’s not too hard a leap to make... they lied to start the war, they
knew they couldn’t fool everybody with the mass media lies, so they
setup phony protest groups to divert and weaken the movement. If you
think this is ’conspiracy theory’ fine, but back it up with logic- why
should we wait until Sept 24th, why should we allow another 2 troops to
die everyday?

Anti-war Groups that have called for a protest in late Sept. (as of 5/25)

  • TroopsoutNow.org - Never heard of ’em before, but this was the first email I received calling for ’unity’ rally in late September.
  • A.N.S.W.E.R. also has a call for a National Day of Action June 13th: Send Posada to Venezuela. ?! (Ever notice that ANSWER always manages to get their protests covered on national tv
    (C-span)- and the rallies always fail to provide important facts,
    fail to make a real case to the tv audience. ANSWER loves cheerleading
    chants- very easy for the public to dismiss.)
  • United for Peace and Justice- here’s part of their statement:
It’s time to hold all pro-war politicians accountable for the deaths, the destruction, the lies, and the toll on our communities from the illegal and immoral Iraq war!"


....so join us in September?!


Simply put, does Karl Rove want us to protest now, or in September?
Why are the anti-war groups siding with Karl Rove? That’s two of the
largest anti-war groups in America, UfPJ and ANSWER, both committing to
wait until September to protest. Why?
(Note:
’Progressives’ have scheduled the Take Back America conference in DC
next week as well. Activists from around the country will travel to DC
and whadda-ya-know, their Reps won’t be there as it’s Home District Week. fyi- there’s another one the week of July 4th)




Here is an alternative to waiting until September 24th to raise your voice.

Take the Time to Give Congress A Piece of Your Mind!
Can’t
make it to DC, that’s fine- all CongressCritters are returning
home next week, from Memorial Day, May 30 until Friday June 3rd. There
should be informed citizens in every state, giving their "Reps" and
earful. There are
millions of Republicans and Democrats disgusted with what Bush has done
to America, they would all be in the streets if they just knew when and
where to be.

Every State is going to have a Memorial Day ceremony, attended by a
Senator or Congressman... why not show up with a few friends and
ask them some questions?


 Why didn’t they investigate the ’lost’ $9 billion?

 Why did they stiff our troops $2 billion for Health care?

 Why did they vote for a "Soviet-style" National ID Card?

 Why are they still giving halliburton more cost-plus contracts?

 Why don’t they care about The Memo and it’s grave implications?

 Why is lying about a dress impeachable, but lying to start a war is acceptable?

"Do something dammit! Use your power as a Senator to commandeer a tv
station, let’s replace the sitcoms with the truth and save our country!"

Every member of Congress swore to uphold the Constitution. Lying to
start a war is as bad as it gets- impeachment proceedings should begin
immediately. If they don’t hold Bush Accountable, those members of
Congress are guilty of treason, and they too, must be held accountable.
If possible, go to their office and give them an earful next week! ; -)

  • I write my reps very, very often along with the media. But I get no reply or standard letters.

    Everything I and numerous other people have asked Mcdonnell not to vote for, he has and what we aak him to vote for, he doesn’t.

    Sad feeling even though he has lost his main support he will get in again, those machines have a way of deciding things for you.

    Freedom is an illusion.

  • Your coverage is as inadequate as the others. Until you begin talking about Israel’s involvement and Israel’s Jewish Fifth Column her is the United States, you too, are blowing smoke up people’s asses. The good part - the American people are beginning to figure out you Jew blowers.

  • I don’t know about you but here’s what I’ve figured out: The Former USA is NO LONGER the USA and expecting things to be the "same" is illusion, delusion and a fantasy. There is NO provision in the Constitution, the Amendments or anywhere else the authorizes the government to LIE to the populace. And when the government fails to observe the statues - - to the letter - - that government ceases to be the legitimate government. So the USA has ceased to be a legal entity since (at least) the coup d’ etat of 2000 by the simple fact that it LIES and continues to LIE. I suggest we all inform our so called "representatives" and congress-critters in Washington, DC that we consider them IMPOSTERS and impotent pretenders to public office because they are NOT doing their JOB(s)! Tell them they must VACATE their offices or face eventual NUREMBURG style prosecution for their continued criminal behavior. The US government is an ILLEGAL entity. It gave up it’s right to legitimacy the second it LIED to US Citizens. Take it from there. You are(really) free now! Use it responsibly. See you on the barricades and IN THE STREETS.

  • I really think this is paranoia, and the evidence is so weak. If you can’t wait until September to protest the war, then organize your own. Everytime ANSWER had a DC rally leading up to the Iraq war, I organized a local solidarity rally. After 9-11, I didn’t wait to see what any organization’s response would be. I wrote a one-page response and handed it out outside a local "alternative" paper whose editor had called for bloody revenge.

    ANSWER is lead by the Workers World Party, which is opposed to both parties and the capitalist system as a whole. They can’t be a pawn of the system and against the system at the same time. Unless, of course, every form of dissent is secretly controlled, and we’re in the Matrix.

    If WWP really is a government front, can you demonstrate with similar logic which revolutionary parties aren’t?

    • that was the reference to ’cointelpro’ , you know the agency that paid you tax payer money to try to cast doubt on the proceedings.
      the CIA has been for years and years and this is documented, been doing what it could to put people they knew they could at least get accurate information from if not control the behavior of in ’underground’ networks of all sorts. they have a huge budget of your money to keep an eye on you with.
      what’s the logic for them? control. knowledge is power, and if they can infiltrate and over run things like the U.S. media, not the brittish media, thank heavens. and other organizations that americans are going to naturally assume are still controlled by roughly normal people like themselves, so much the better for their ability to manipulate the information and in the case of the fake rally groups, even the movements of the populace.

      "They can’t be a pawn of the system and against the system at the same time. Unless, of course, every form of dissent is secretly controlled, and we’re in the Matrix."

      the matrix, wow hilarious.

  • That’s funny, i just noticed PDA has an action alert:

    "May 31 to June 3 - National Call-In / Write-in Week for Iraq
    Urge your member of Congress to support legislation for the withdrawal of troops from Iraq."

    A special Call in week- during the week Congress returns home- with no mention of the fact that Congress will be in their home states.

    check it out
    pdamerica.org

    • that actually could be taken to mean that they are not in their home states.

    • huh? PDA has a call in week when Congress is not in DC. True they don’t say call DC, but that’s where Congress usually is, and they don’t tell you that Congress is at home. i don’t know if it’s intentional or negligent, but either way it’s weakening the anti-war voice. they need to be clear.

      Why doesn’t it say: Call your Congressmember at their home office next week- or better yet, drive down there with some friends and make your collective voice heard. Stop traffic if you have the numbers. Now that would be an "action alert".

  • Interesting comment from Mike Rivero at WhatReallyHappened

    "Back during Vietnam, the FBI’s COINTELPRO operation planted informants on every college campus who organized their own anti-war groups to identify those opposed tothe war and keep them engaged in activities which at best had no impact on the war or at worst embarrassed and discredited the peace movement. The same tricks are being repeated today, and while there are many pro-peace acrtivists who are legitimate, there are many who are working for the government to keep the anti-war movement running in circles.

    If you’re a peace activist, now is the time to study up on the crimes committed by the FBI’s COINTELPRO operation against anti Vietnam protesters. Because that socially misfit loser with the bio-war bad breath standing next to you, you know, the one trying to get you to "make a statement" by committing an illegal act, is probably an undercover FBI informant.

    • Someone needs to point out questionsquestions.net and also of course Leftgatekeepers.org I think it is, but google them.
      There is no national anti-war orgaanization that is not controlled. How could they not be controlled? 9/11 was an even greater crime than stealing two elections and no one gives a rats ass. Pacifica doesn’t; the Nation magazine doesn’t; hell, the USA is one step away from martial law and the sheep still pay taxes!

    Documents Obtained by ACLU Expose FBI and Police Targeting of Political Groups

    http://www.aclu.org/SafeandFree/SafeandFree.cfm?ID=18258&c=282

    The Church Committee is a popular term referring to the United States Senate Select Committee to Study Governmental Operations with Respect to Intelligence Activities, a Senate committee chaired by Senator Frank Church (D-ID) in 1975. The committee investigated illegal intelligence gathering by the CIA and FBI after such activities had been revealed by the Watergate affair.

    In 1975 and 1976, the Church Committee published fourteen reports on the formation of U.S. intelligence agencies, their operations, and the abuses of law and of power that they had committed, together with recommendations for reform, some of which were enacted by Congress.

    Among the matters investigated were attempts to assassinate foreign leaders, including Patrice Lumumba of the Congo, Fidel Castro of Cuba, Rafael Trujillo of the Dominican Republic, the Diem brothers of Vietnam, and Gen. Rene Schneider of Chile.

    Together, the Church Committee’s reports have been said to constitute the most extensive review of intelligence activities ever made available to the public.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Church_Committee

    COINTELPRO is an acronym for a series of FBI counterintelligence programs designed to neutralize political dissidents. Although covert operations have been employed throughout FBI history, the formal COINTELPRO’s of 1956-1971 were broadly targeted against radical political organizations. In the early 1950s, the Communist Party was illegal in the United States. The Senate and House of Representatives each set up investigating committees to prosecute communists and publicly expose them. (The House Committee on Un-American Activities and the Senate Internal Security Subcommittee, led by Senator Joseph McCarthy). When a series of Supreme Court rulings in 1956 and 1957 challenged these committees and questioned the constitutionality of Smith Act prosecutions and Subversive Activities Control Board hearings, the FBI’s response was COINTELPRO, a program designed to "neutralize" those who could no longer be prosecuted. Over the years, similar programs were created to neutralize civil rights, anti-war, and many other groups, all said to be "communist front organizations." As J. Edgar Hoover, longtime Director of the FBI, put it

    The forces which are most anxious to weaken our internal security are not always easy to identify. Communists have been trained in deceit and secretly work toward the day when they hope to replace our American way of life with a Communist dictatorship. They utilize cleverly camouflaged movements, such as peace groups and civil rights groups to achieve their sinister purposes. While they as individuals are difficult to identify, the Communist party line is clear. Its first concern is the advancement of Soviet Russia and the godless Communist cause. It is important to learn to know the enemies of the American way of life.

    The FBI conducted more than 2000 COINTELPRO operations before the the programs were officially discontinued in April of 1971, after public exposure, in order to "afford additional security to [their] sensitive techniques and operations."

    "Hello, I’m going to read a declaration of a state of war...within the next 14 days we will attack a symbol or institution of American injustice." Bernardine Dohrn

    Thirty years ago, with those words, a group of young American radicals announced their intention to overthrow the U.S. government. In THE WEATHER UNDERGROUND, former Underground members, including Bernardine Dohrn, Bill Ayers, Mark Rudd, David Gilbert and Brian Flanagan, speak publicly about the idealistic passion that drove them to "bring the war home" and the trajectory that placed them on the FBI’s most wanted list.

    Fueled by outrage over racism and the Vietnam War, the Weather Underground waged a low-level war against the U.S. government through much of the 1970s—bombing targets across the country that they considered emblematic of the real violence that the U.S. was wreaking throughout the world. Ultimately, the group’s carefully organized clandestine network managed to successfully evade one of the largest manhunts in FBI history, yet the group’s members would reemerge to life in a country that was dramatically different than the one they had hoped their efforts would inspire. Extensive archival material, including, photographs, film footage and FBI documents are interwoven with modern-day interviews to trace the group’s path, from its pitched battles with police on Chicago’s streets, to its bombing of the U.S. Capitol, to its successful endeavor breaking acid-guru Timothy Leary out of prison. The film explores the Weathermen in the context of other social movements of the time and features interviews with former members of the Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) and the Black Panthers. It also examines the U.S. government’s suppression of dissent in the 1960s and 1970s.

    Looking back at their years underground, the former members paint a compelling portrait of troubled times, revolutionary times, and the forces that drove their resistance.

    In October 1969 hundreds of young people, clad in football helmets and wielding lead pipes, marched through an upscale Chicago shopping district, pummeling parked cars and smashing shop windows in their path.

    This was the first demonstration of the Weather Underground’s "Days of Rage." Outraged by the Vietnam War and racism in America, the organization waged a low-level war against the U.S. government through much of the 1970s, bombing the Capitol building, breaking Timothy Leary out of prison, and evading one of the largest FBI manhunts in history.

    The Weather Underground is a feature-length documentary that explores the rise and fall of this radical movement, as former members speak candidly about the idealistic passion that drove them to "bring the war home" and the trajectory that placed them on the FBI’s most wanted list.

  • I read your post about a week ago, and it’s haunted me ever since. There is something phony that I can’t put my figure on about the way the left operates. I am part of a lot of those events, and I have had wondered more than a few times about certain things, such as some sort of a fake force behind the left ’ thinking committee’ but not the well intended people. For one, Ramsey Clark is a head guy at both ANSWER, and Take Back the Media, and he was Bill Clinton’s guy; remember? Then here, there was a protest called in my city, and ANSWER magically came up with the funds, the police escort, and in if fact the police paraded them around a neighborhood where some police had arrested some punks for beating up a black kid a few days ago, and wanted the charges to stick. Again, the protest got DAYS worth of press, and had EVERY camera in the city there. I started to figure that the city hired them. Another time, the city fire fighters were in jeopordy of losing their jobs, and again, UFPJ, and ANSWER called a protest for a Cheney fundraiser, they had signs made, the TV had lights set up. all the media. and the protester were ALLOWED to get right in front of the door of the fundraiser. Most of those protesters were carrying signs that said ’ 1,000 a plate for Cheney, and nothing for the Firefighters..Also, We knew ahead of time that if we mentioned the firefighters on the otherside, we could get on top of Cheney.. and then I was watching a blog in my city, and someone accidently called the UFPJ, and ANSWER groups ’ rent a protester’... I took this to mean that ANSWER and UFPJ was getting paid. and the people who showed up just did it for free. I can bet you that in both cases, in my city. ANSWER has been paid by this cities unions plenty of times. How else are they paying for a Building, buses, signs, utilities... a NEWSPAPER which is FREE BTW? The newpaper is widely distributed in our city. I am guessing that they are a paid protest group. Then when I saw them referred to locally as ’ Rent a protester’ I started to think more, and more. Then came this post of yours.. I can’t stop thinking that you are right now!
    I seldom comment on anything on the internet.. but this time I had to.. I really think you are right, and I am not sure what else to say, or do.. except it seems that there are not a lot of people who know about it, and it would be nice if this story could be proved, and written. It would make a good book, I wish I could see it in an article in a newspaper, but my guess is nobody wants to hear what you have to say, or for that matter, what I have to say.
    thank you for the post, it is very important.
