Tour de Peace by David Swanson

Source: warisacrime.org By davidswanson - Posted on 21 February 2013 Between April 4 and July 3, the entire country (and the other 96% of humanity too) is invited to join in a bicycle ride from California to Washington, D.C. You can join as a bicycler or as a sponsor . This won't be a ride to raise awareness about cruelty to animals, but it will raise awareness about war -- by many measures the greatest destroyer of the natural environment we have, as well as consisting first and foremost of the mass killing of that peculiar animal we're all rather fond of: the homo sapiens. This won't be a ride to raise money for cancer research, but it will raise money for the campaign to abolish war -- a carcinogen if the people of Fallujah ever saw one. This paragraph is exclusively for supporters of President Obama. If that's not you, please skip to the following paragraph right now. With Republicans out of the White House and no election this year, there is no need

Squirrels are Jackasses and Other Tales from the Road by Cindy Sheehan

Squirrels are Jackasses (And other observations from the road) Cindy Sheehan Long before it was “cool,” our family home in Norwalk, Ca (where my three youngest children were born) had solar space and water heating. We recycled and combined errands to try to use the least amount of fossil fuel as possible. Still, in California, (as in most other places in our nation), it’s almost impossible to live and work without a car: reliable, cheap, and useful public transportation just isn’t here. However, when my son, Casey, was killed in Iraq in a war waged for the major, international oil companies and other profiteers, my opposition to fossil fuel usage grew along with my guilt for my own oil gluttony. When I moved to San Francisco in 2007 to challenge then Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi, for her Congressional seat, I detected a perfect opportunity to sell my car and wrench myself out of the that "prison made of plastic and metal comfort zone" to lea

The S-Word Podcast (Feb 18, 2013; Guest: Ruth Hull)

Listen to internet radio with Diane G on Blog Talk Radio

The S-Word Premiers!

Image
Tonight, the joint powerhouses of Cindy Sheehan and Diane Gee combine their immeasurable passions to debut "The S-Word." They will be giving a primer on what Socialism is, and decidedly IS NOT; including fully discrediting the laughable suggestion made by some that President Obama is worthy of the word. Joined by the talented Ruth Hull the 2nd half of the hour, they will discuss the case of Christopher Dorner the way it should be discussed... as indicative of a fully operational Police State, abetted by the compliant Press. Be sure to join The S-Word at 3pm Pacific / 6pm Eastern (5 MT, 4 Central) Today, Monday February 18th on Blog Talk Radio! LINK TO THE SHOW: THE S-WORD

Blue on Black - The Conversation We Should Be Having about Dorner

Image
It was "the" story for almost a week, yet after the premeditated incineration of him and all evidence by the Police State? The story has all but disappeared. In the immediate aftermath, the predominant memes went from hero to terrorist, with a ton of arm-chair projected mental health diagnosing going on throughout the spectrum of opinions. What was not discussed at length was the "Vengeance is Mine, sayeth the Lord LAPD" attitude or the careful timeline followed by the pigs and the ever-subservient press. Two more officers have come forward with complaints substantiating Dorner's experiences; Joe Jones who is no longer on the force, and active duty Sergeant Wayne K. Guillary both claim endemic racism, police brutality and retaliation for attempting to whistle-blow. The first message is clearly, they will let you be part of the Blue brotherhood, as long as you give up your Blackness. If you refuse to cover up Blue crime? You become sworn enemy. The second

The Decrepitude of Empire (Soapbox podcast, 2/10/13

Image
Cindy Sheehan's S oapbox February 10, 2013   Cindy Sheehan's Soapbox has been on an anti-Empire tangent , lately.   But of course, all crumbling roads, every pothole, every child left behind, every person who falls through the "health" care chasm, every family who is forced from their homes, (etc) leads us back to the over-reach of the US Empire.   Speaking of the "health" care chasm, Cindy has been ill this week, so we are presenting the re-run of an interview that the incomparable Abby Martin (Breaking the Set, RT) did with Cindy Sheehan in January, 2011.       Everything old is new again, so enjoy the interview and Cindy will be back next week with a brand new show!   CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD THE PODCAST
