CINDY SHEEHAN'S SOAPBOX DECEMBER 28, 2014 GUEST: KEITH BOLENDER TOPIC: THE RELEASE OF THE CUBAN 5 BONUS SOAPBOX! Last week, Cindy claimed that there would be no more Soapboxes for the year; however, that was before we knew the fabulous news that the remainder of the Cuban 5 were released from US prisons. We work so hard with our various struggles, and the struggle for Cuban sovereignty and autonomy from US hegemony is not over, but this seemingly small victory for justice is HUGE and should be celebrated.  Today, Cindy chats with her friend and fellow campaigner to release the 5, Toronto-based author/activst Keith Bolender .

Crack Friday with Rev. Billy (Special SOAPBOX PODCAST 11/28/14)

Image
Special Crack Friday Edition of Cindy Sheehan's Soapbox While many people celebrate family togetherness on Turkey Day, what's wrong with "Thanksgiving" Weekend? Many people over-indulge in food while others are starving. Many people don't even acknowledge the genocide and slavery which are the foundation of the USA. Many people go out of their ways on the next day to mow down their neighbors for a few bucks off cheap consumer crap. Heard on local Sacramento news:  "Some stores only open on Black Friday morning to respect the 'sanctity' of Black Friday." "Sanctity" of Black Friday!  We are told that shopping is our patriotic duty and along with football and war, our state religion. Some are addicted to the temporary high of acquisition and become slaves to debt for this addiction. That's why this Crack Friday Cindy Sheehan's Soapbox presents   Rev. Billy Talen of the Church of St

"There is NEVER any excuse for Violence" by Cindy Sheehan

Image
“There is Never any Excuse for Violence” Cindy Sheehan The above is a quote from the War Criminal in Chief Barack Obama in his statement about the miscarriage of justice that just happened in Ferguson, MO. The deep irony is that this man is the figurehead of the most violent, racist, and deadly empire in the history of our planet. What he said was, “There is never any excuse for violence,” but what he meant was, “there is never any excuse for violence from oppressed or occupied people—I, however, can bomb people, torture people, assassinate people without trials, spy on people AND shoot your kids down in the streets.” In my opinion, the burden of “peace” is not on the shoulders of oppressed or occupied people. It is a human right to defend ourselves and our loved ones. Obama also said, “the police put their lives on the line for us everyday.” Really? I don’t see an epidemic of cops being killed, but I sure see a huge rise in cops murder

Sibel Edmonds and the Deep State (SOAPBOX PODCAST 10/19/14)

CINDY SHEEHAN'S SOAPBOX OCTOBER 19, 2014 (AUDIO AVAILABLE 10/19) GUEST: SIBEL EDMONDS TOPIC: THE LONE GLADIO The Lone Gladio   Assassinations. Drug running. False flag ops. A shadow paramilitary global network. Synthetic wars. CIA-NATO: A darker truth. Operation Gladio Plan B: Murder. OG 68—a k a Greg McPhearson—no longer works for the company. The hunter has now become prey. He knows this beast: what created him and shattered his soul. Until Mai. When he opened the door to her three years ago, he opened what soul he had left. Yet no amount of pride or power, he discovers—too late—can ever replace one precious breath … When a sting is called off at the last minute by his FBI bosses per order of the CIA, Special Agent Ryan Marcello decides to do some digging. He calls in senior analyst Elsie Simon, expert in the Turkey-Central Asian-Caucasus nexus, to help track down the high-level target with ties to ruthless power players in

An Indigenous Peoples' History of the US (SOAPBOX PODCAST 10/12/14)

Image
Cindy Sheehan's Soapbox October 12, 2014 GUEST: Dr. Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz TOPIC: An Indigenous Peoples' History of the US Cindy and Roxanne chat about the treacherous history of European colonialism in North America and the way forward to healing. The history of the US Empire cannot be separated from the history of the Indigenous Peoples: to do so is denying that the "American Way" has always been genocidal at its roots and the idea that we can somehow "take our country back" is crazy-talk. It was never "our" country in the first place and just to what epoch in our short history do we want to return?  Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz has written a history of US Empire from the perspective of the Original People. The book is packed with damning facts, but written with the heart soul of a person who has been involved in Indigenous resistance and civil rights' movement for decades.

US Freedom Spray GUEST : MICKEY Z.   TOPIC: THE UMBRELLA™ "REVOLUTION" IN HONG KONG Cindy Sheehan chats with longtime activist/author Mickey Z. (Mickey is the newest featured author on The Soapbox People's Network HIS PAGE ) The topic is the NED/NDI/CIA sponsored "uprising" in Hong Kong and how the Obama regime publicly approves of it while violently suppressing protests here in the US, but we shouldn't really worry, because the US doesn't use teargas, it uses Freedom Spray™ CLICK IMAGE FOR ORDERING INFO

Antiwar Re-enactment: The Spring of Love (March 13-17: Save the Date)

Image
As should be glaringly obvious, the United States of America, as a whole, is lovingly devoted to its wars. In school, we learn the history of this Empire from war to "shining" war and the history of the USA's expansion is one of genocide and slavery cloaked in a holy manifest from God.  To wit, War Re-enactments are very popular with a certain subset of our culture that not only worship war, but want to be part of the "glorious" wars whose evil karma have combined to get us to this point: War is our religion and Obama is the current High Priest of this cult. The same people who opposed war during the Bush stain support war during the Obama stain and those that supported war during the Bush stain think Obama needs to ritually bathe in even more blood. So, obviously, again, most people in the USA aren't actually anti-war and are definitely not anti-Empire. Even though the recent climate march in NYC was a success if one counts success not by efficacy,

To our Rightwing Comrades: Donate to Get Team Sheehan to DC!

September 22, 2014 Dear Rightwingers, Every since Obama has become the current Oval Office infestation, you all have been under some misconception that I support him and his evil puppetry for the War Machine and Wall Street. CHAINED TO WH FENCE, 2009 Of course, nothing could be farther from the truth and even newspaper columnists and rightwing “pundits” have repeated these lies. Apparently you rightwingers are too lazy or too ignorant to do a five-second Google search (don't have five seconds: here I did it for you) that would reveal that I have held three sustained protests of BushBama’s policies: one in Martha’s Vineyard in 2009 and two in DC in 2010; I have chained myself to the White House fence and been arrested; I was arrested in 2010 in front of the White House and received a “stay-away” order from the premises that would have resulted in a mandatory 2010 ARREST six-month jail term if I violated it; I was arrested in front of the CIA
