Cindy Sheehan responds to William Kristol’s campaign against the Sept. 15 March on Washington, where he calls to "Kill the Die-In"

Another Dishonorable Chicken-hawk
by Cindy Sheehan

I know just a little bit about Mr. William Kristol:

He is the son of one of the founders of the "neo-conservative" movement, Irving Kristol.

He is a commentator on Fox News.

He was Chief of Staff for one of the political "geniuses" of our time: VP Dan Quayle.

He is editor of another Rupert Murdoch war-propaganda rag, "The Weekly Standard."

He is a member, and signer, of the Project for the New American Century, which is a game plan for US global hegemony based on military strength and one of its goals and objectives was the over-throw of the Hussein Regime in Iraq with a next stop in Iran and Syria (because the PNAC plan is going so well, so far).

By all accounts, Mr. Kristol is a brilliant man, who like his father before him, uses his brilliance for destruction. He is a shameless supporter of a failed, murderous, and miserable strategy in Iraq and Afghanistan and one of the "mushroom cloud" crowd.

One thing Mr. William Kristol is not, is a combat vet.

Although he was born in 1952, he never served during Vietnam. I am sure while at Harvard he was a staunch supporter of the American effort to enrich the war profiteers while ostensibly stopping that war’s "enemy" communism from spreading across Asia. Secure in his studies during that quagmire, Kristol joins a long line of neo-con chicken-hawks who are drenched in other people’s blood and love to send other people’s children to die for their lies.

I don’t know anything, or care to know anything about Mr. Kristol’s private life. I don’t care if he is another closeted gay Republican or is a happily married hetero with children. I do suspect, however, that if Mr. Kristol is married, his children are not serving in Iraq, being misused by the very same incompetent and cowardly Commander in Chief (who also did not serve in Vietnam) that Mr. Kristol shamelessly supports while the entire administration and Republican hypocrites are crumbling from corruption and scandal.

I do know one thing for sure about Mr. Kristol, he does not like to be bothered with those pesky little things called facts. On February 20, 2003, Mr. Kristol incredibly gushed: "If we free the people of Iraq, we will be respected in the Arab world." This statement shows an amazing lack of knowledge of the Arab world or any kind of foreign policy sophistication (but does show a great use of Rovian-Foxian expolitation of emotion). No one in the Arab world (except maybe, Israel, which is geographically located in the "Arab world") was calling for the US to "free" Iraqis. No one from Iraq except "Curveball" or the slimy and profit-motivated, Ahmad Chalabi, both Iraqis who weren’t even living in the country at the time of the invasion were calling on the USA to liberate them. In fact, after many years of murderous sanctions against Iraq, a fierce nationalism arose in opposition to the US-UN led sanctions. According to National Intelligence Estimates, since the illegal and immoral invasion of Iraq, Islamic Jihadism has increased. Mr. Kristol is also incredibly ignorant of human nature and human history. No peoples like to be occupied. No child, brother or sister, or mother or father, who sees a loved one blown away by American or insurgent’s bombs will love the oppressor. In fact, violence only creates more violence and more life-long enemies.

Now Mr. Kristol is safe behind his desk and computer calling for another attack against Iran. I think he hears the non-existent cries of the Iranian people to be liberated from their regime. The Iranian people are directly next-door to Iraq and they see what US "liberation" brings. It comes with the awful price of high civilian casualties; hospitals bombed, Doctors killed; no electricity or clean water; and eternal occupation.

In a recent op-ed for The Weekly Standard, Mr. Kristol makes many more tactical and fundamental errors. The ANSWER coalition is calling for mass mobilizations begining the week (Sept. 15) that the White House authored Petraeus report on the surge is due. Members of Iraq Veterans Against the War (IVAW), who are leading the September 15th march, are calling for a "die-in" to end the march and begin the rally. The vets, unlike the chicken-hawk neocons, have actually served in war, particularly the one that Mr. Kristol imagines is such a success. IVAW is asking activists to represent a killed service-member and at an appropriate time lie down. Taps will be played and also a simulated 21-gun salute. It sounds respectful to me, being the mom of one of the soldiers, and I will proudly, yet sorrowfully, be lying down for my son that day. Many of the march/rally participants will be "dying" to represent the hundreds of thousands of Iraqis who have been killed for Mr. Kristol’s deceptions.

Mr. Kristol calls on the "honorable" members of the anti-war movement to denounce the die-in and lumps MoveOn.org with other organizers of the die-in. MoveOn is not associated with the die-in as they do not support non-violent, direct civil disobedience. What I find so amusing is that Mr. PNAC-Fox News-Chicken-hawk has made himself the judge of what is honorable.

Mr. Kristol has a problem with the anti-war movement using the names of the fallen without the permission of the families. No one got my permission when my sons portrait was used in the pro-war memorial at Arlington Cemetery. Casey’s name and likeness has been used by pro-war people all over the nation without my permission. Why is that okay, Mr. Kristol? I know for a fact such memorials as Arlington West, Eyes Wide Open and our memorial at Camp Casey would remove names of soldiers at the next of kin’s request. If any family member so requests, I am sure IVAW will do the same thing---but a word of caution:

Even though the members of IVAW (all my adopted sons and daughters) have a big problem with the occupation of Iraq and with the Bush crime family, they served their country honorably (unlike Mr. Kristol) and they all fought side-by-side with the fallen. They love their brothers and sisters and they would themselves have died to take the place of any one of them. Do not, never, ever, claim that we families, or the Iraq Vets are dishonoring our sons and daughters killed by the lies of The Weekly Standard, Fox News, BushCo., et al. That is the biggest lie of all, or maybe it’s this one that Mr. Kristol told on March 1, 2003:

"Very few wars in American history were prepared better or more thoroughly than this one by this president."

I would laugh if I weren’t crying so hard.

If Mr. Kristol gets his PNAC way, by this time next year, we will need a lot more people at a die-in.

  • It’s unfortunate that Americans haven’t spoken out more boldly and consistently about the coup that handed control of America’s foreign policy and fate to a relatively small band of ideologues who now run the show. Indeed, people are still arguing about the name, Neoconservative, as if linguistic rigor is going to solve the issue. These bloody professors and think-tank chickenhawks are a menace to civil society, especially to the Rule of Law they so quickly cite in their own defense.

    Where’s Paul Revere when you really need him? Shout it loud, now, this afternoon, and three times tonight: the Neocons are ruining this country. And the flimsy politicians who allowed them to seize power, including Hillary and Lieberman (thanks Connecticut), must also go. Clean the slate. Start fresh.

    Spread the word: Your government is in the hands of "intellectuals" who rely on Machiavelli’s sinister perspective - Us versus Them - while, duplicitiously, touting the benefits of democracy. Wake up. Your republic has become an empire run by fools. You’d be better off if Rasputin was running it.

  • "Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God" (Matthew 5:9).

  • Cindy, while in a family for more than 26 years, they early on joined a huge Crime System although this wasn’t any ordinary Crime System. Their job, using their Development Business, is to launder “Gun Running and Drug Money” straight into property for those involved. The “Gun Running Part” has already been in the news with Drummond and Chiquita. There are others as well but Chiquita was, while married, one of the largest contributors to the Drug Distribution System.

    To explain how huge the drug shipments are….
    For example, the Chicago $100 Million Dollar Weekly shipments start (as told to me as late as 1996) at a pickup point in International Waters outside of Mexico by speed boats picking up the drugs from ships. They’re taken to a private ocean side residence in Mexico then eventually trucked over the Texas border without anyone stopping or asking questions. From there, they find their way to somewhere around Chicago where the drug shipment is split and other smaller shipments are sent to New York and Florida. It’s important to know that I was also told that “ALL Drug shipments including the point of origin are protected by corruption”!

    The Chicago Drug Connection is over $5 Billion a year! Plus there are other huge shipments going elsewhere in the US. Chiquita and others are also shipping or better “Distributing huge Drug Shipments” to other areas, such as Europe.

    As mentioned above, the family told me that the “Drug Sales” are funding their “Black Op’s” which by the way is for another White House Coup! This Coup has been ongoing over the decades with small changes here and there until a point will be reached where “The Change” (their term) will take place. I was threatened during the 90’s (96 last time threatened) that if I talk to anyone about this, I would be “setup” like others and either put into a Mental Hospital OR setup to be executed like those in Texas. They said that it’s really easy to make this happen. I’m to remember that when “The Change” happens, either I’m with them OR I’m not! If I’m not, I will end up in one of the many “Prisons” (Their term, today we call them Detention Camps) that will (Over 800 are claimed to exist today) exist around the US.

    By the way, if you wanted to drive the weekly Drug Truck from Texas to Chicago, all you needed to do was attend a huge Mega Christian church in South Barrington and ask around for a job. While attending there, I witnessed someone looking for work and was told to talk to the head Minister. Once this happened, he was then sent to talk to the people (in our room) who work in the Drug System. A few weeks later, he was the new driver who was driving what they called, “The Pepper Truck”. The truck also shipped peppers which because of their odor, covered up the smell of the Drugs.

    The “Black Op’s” are a mix of many different types of “Op’s” that include; “Mind Control Op’s”, “Phys-Ops”, elimination of threatening people who are and have been micro-snooped to set them up and much more. “Wire Tapping” and other high tech “Electronic Snooping Op’s” have been going on for a very long time that I’m aware of and have personally experienced.

    As an example, I have a collection of my company IT office system networked hard drives that are contaminated with “Special Snooping Collection software”. By design this software was installed by downloading one exploding file into my Windows System. The software was buried allowing it to be part of the Windows System making it impossible for commercial security software to find and remove it. The software also includes Trojans so they can watch you and all generated files are squirted out in small snippets to awaiting IP addresses. I traced some of the IP addresses to a collection of large Corporations in California but wasn’t able to determine who ended up with my data.

    Cindy, this is a “Huge Neocon Movement” involving many more people than you might want to believe. As another example, there are MOB links everywhere . Personally with the family, we’ve been invited out to dinner with MOB people. Also, do you remember when Abramoff purchased a fleet of Casino Boats from Gus Boulis? The family wanted me to spend a week with Gus down in Florida in 1990, to learn about his Sandwich business. Eventually they wanted me to start that type of business in the Chicago area. The family also wanted to be a partner with purchasing Gus’s Casino Boat venture in New York, but turned it down as they really wanted to own the Florida Casino Boat business during 1996. He was murdered MOB style, much later after loosing his whole business towards the end of the 90’s and had to sell it. That’s where Abramoff came in. What people don’t know is that the Neocons have been snooping on Gus Boulis for years because they idolized him as a Money Making God. The family was also obsessed with knowing everything about him and often during family gatherings would sit and try to determine how much money he was taking in with his Casino business. Guess who was to be the family’s other partners?

    Cindy, I’m not going to publish my email address, but if you can find a way to personally connect with me, there’s a lot more you need to know. Please recognize that any electronic method of communicating isn’t advised.

    I also post at times elsewhere with more detail so try searching.

    Maybe more another time…
