(SOAPBOX #92) – Cindy welcomes two notable guests. Cindy’s first guest, Thaddeus Russell, is an historian and cultural critic, author of A Renegade History of the United States. (And those are just his introductory credits!) A true nonconformist, he has a long list of public appearances. Yes, previously, our “Bad Thad” had moved past the social/ethical conservatism of our historical “cultural leaders” to focus on the actual people themselves. He regularly argued that many white Americans envied slaves for good reason, since slave culture offered many liberating alternatives to the highly repressive and work-obsessed, anti-sex culture of the early United States. He demonstrated that prostitutes, not feminists, won virtually all the freedoms that were denied to women but are now taken for granted. In short, this man is a truly creative & revolutionary thinker. It should come as no surprise the man today perceives himself as though he’s been on an island and yelling for three years now. (It seems he doesn’t want to kill the world’s unfortunates in order to SAVE them.) He asks why are today’s “liberal” people are not separating themselves from the slaughter of innocents? Hey there, boyz and grrls: Can you say “Bad mass murderer?” “Bad!” (I knew you could!)
Cindy’s next guest is Congressman Dennis Kucinich of Ohio, discussing our military intervention in Libya. Congressman Kucinich had SEVERAL objections to this action, all on quite serious grounds. This is a new nightmare for people in another land and a new nightmare for the American people. Yet the BIGGEST objection seems to be that the entire power to make war is given by our Constituation in Article I, section 8 to Congress; not to the President. This is not an academic debate. The Founders felt very strongly, indeed about putting the war powers in the hand of the country’s legislative body. Dennis offers MANY important points to consider!
There is always a war on the poor, working-poor, and working-class This episode of The Soapbox reunites Cindy and Mickey-Z who may be some of the last remaining left-wing critics of imperial propaganda. Cindy and Mickey try to figure out when the rest of the left, up and left their common-sense far behind and what can be done about it.

Still Truth-seeking After All These Years! 6 August 2022 Dear Loyal Soapbox Reader/Listener, I have had this blog for 13 years now and there are almost 2k posts and 400 podcasts. This service has become very unwieldly to use with the functionality becoming archaic and as a google product, it has begun to "unpublish" some posts that it deems inappropriate. However, I will leave it up for eternity because it does have valuable archives and historical relevance, but I won't be updating it. Please follow me at my new home at Substack Cindy Sheehan's Soapbox Newsletter There, I have found renewed motivation and vigor to attack the people and systems of our oppression and I am posting new Soapbox podcasts and have a new Video Cast called: Shee-Lilly which is a weekly collaboration between me and my co-host Dakotah Lilly (a Soapbox friend and favorite).

May 14, 2022 GUEST: DR. WILL TUTTLE TOPIC: HEALING A WOUNDED WORLD The World Peace Diet , now translated and published worldwide in 16 languages, connects many dots—culturally, historically, nutritionally, ecologically, psychologically, and spiritually—to reveal how our routine exploitation of animals for food and other products boomerangs in countless ways, affecting both our outer world and the inner landscape of our daily experience. A more conscious way of living is beckoning, and the World Peace Diet approach blends mindfulness with kindness and respect for each other and all expressions of life, creating a practical foundation for harmony and freedom for ourselves and our world. On this website, we provide information about online World Peace Diet Facilitator Training programs, as well as Dr. Tuttle’s writings, schedule of upcoming events, and audio-visual resources that he and his spouse Madeleine offer. Thank you for taking time to explore! Based on revealing the
