  • Cindy Sheehan, I Have Arrived : I Am Home
    13 October 2005 par (Open-Publishing)

    By Cindy Sheehan
    I was honored and humbled to be in the presence of holy man, Thich Nhat Hahn, today at MacArthur Park in a very Hispanic neighborhood in Los Angeles.
    Thay (teacher), as he is known, is a Buddhist monk who was active during the Vietnam War years, bringing peace and reconciliation to the countries of North and South Vietnam. He was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize by Martin Luther King Jr. He walks with an aura of peace and acceptance radiating from him. (…)

  • Free speech - A thing of the past!!

    I just became aware of these incidences and felt an obligation to let others see it in case they too had missed them. Just as "they" treated Cindy Sheehan with all the disrepect and disruption and plain nastiness available to the "powers that be", now it is all coming to rest on college campuses. Free speech will soon be a thing of the past!!!

  • Corporations Seeking Domination of Global Social Interactions Through Fear based Mind Control

    To all People,
    In order to complete the NeoCon-Corporate take over of the World by the psychologically ill and mentally depraved Military Industrial Complex an attack of a particular nature, type, and geographical structure will be carried out with a simultaneous attack in possible Northern Ireland and Europe to paralyze any social political opposition to military take over and the creation of a world military slave system run by corporations making children into worker slaves with no (…)

    It is disturbing to see our daughter played on stage, but it drives home the impact she has had since her killing in Gaza
    by Cindy and Craig Corrie
    When our daughter Rachel Corrie was killed by an Israeli bulldozer in the Gaza strip on March 16 2003, an immediate impulse was to get her words out to the world. She had been working in Rafah with a nonviolent resistance organisation, the International Solidarity Movement, trying to stop the demolition of Palestinian homes and wells. Her (…)

  • The Left, the Enemy of My Enemy, and Liberation: The Case of the Iraqi Resistance
    9 October 2005 par (Open-Publishing)
    5 comments

    Factions on the Left have called for "Support for the Iraqi Resistance" and criticized those who don’t endorse the call. For example, at this year’s Left Forum, Anthony Arnove and Tariq Ali debated Stephen Shalom and Joanne Landy on this issue, with the first two arguing for supporting the resistance. Some commentators even refer to this resistance as "freedom fighters in Iraq." My sympathies are with the other side. While one might argue for some abstract "right to resist occupation," what (…)

    An interview with progressive sports writer Dave Zirin on Muhammad Ali, the ’indentured servitude’ of the NCAA, and why politics and sports can’t be separated.
    By Elana Berkowitz
    In 1960, at the tender age of 18, Cassius Clay tossed his Olympic gold medal into the Ohio River. He had just been denied service at a restaurant in Louisville when he tried to order a hamburger only weeks after winning boxing gold in Athens.
    The rest of the story has become a classic, as Clay, now Muhammad (…)

    What do we make of the Saturday, October 1 Washington Post headline “Poison Found in Air During Anti-War Protest”?
    Washington D.C. Public Health Director Greg A. Pane posed the right question in the Post article, “Why that day? That’s what is not explained.” Pane pointed that it was “just this 24-hour period and none since.”
    The Post noted that Pane found “. . . it was puzzling that the finding was from a day when the mall was packed with people.”
    Puzzling? Indeed. Biohazard sensors (…)

    Shocking the Two Party System October 4, 2005
    A Political Opportunity for Cindy Sheehan and the Antiwar Movement
    Shocking the Two Party System
    By NIKOLAS KOZLOFF
    In recent years, progressive third party efforts have hardly left a dent in the American political system. Recent polling data however suggest that the American electorate is restless and anxiously waiting for a change. The only thing which is missing is the spark and organizational vehicle. If progressives are smart, they (…)

  • Dems/Iraq = Bush/Vietnam = AWOL
    4 October 2005 par (Open-Publishing)

    Yesterday I thanked the 6 House Democrats—Lee, Conyers, Woolsey, Grijalva, McKinney & Waters—who joined 300,000 of us at the antiwar march/rally/concert last weekend. We do appreciate it.
    Today I want to ask the obvious follow-up question, which several commenters also raised—where were the rest of the House & Senate Dems?
    There are 202 House Democrats, plus 1 Independent, plus several nonvoting House Dems. Plus, there are 44 Senate Democrats, plus 1 Independent.
    A grand total (…)
