Imprison Pelosi for War Crimes The Continuing Saga of the Congressional Evil-Clown Show By Cindy Sheehan

Image
Imprison Pelosi for War Crimes The Continuing Saga of the Congressional Evil-Clown Show By Cindy Sheehan The International Military Tribunal at Nuremberg , which followed World War II , called the waging of aggressive war "essentially an evil thing...to initiate a war of aggression...is not only an international crime; it is the supreme international crime, differing only from other war crimes in that it contains within itself the accumulated evil of the whole. Back in 2009 president-elect Barack Obama was asked by George Stephanopoulos if prosecuting the Bush regime for war crimes was in the cards and while rejecting that idea, he had this to say about investigating torture and the unnecessary deaths of over one million people in Iraq, “ (Obama held) "a belief that we need to look forward as opposed to looking backwards (sic). ” I paraphrased Obama’s comment at the time as, “I cannot prosecute the former Commander in Chief, because I need the same p

Just Say "No" to Military Recruitment. Video with Peace Mom Cindy Sheehan

Image
Cindy Sheehan has been an influential voice in the Peace Movement for three presidencies. However, what was it that drove her to activism? We believe her story to be one of the examples of how the counter-recruitment organizations within NNOMY (The National Network Opposing the Militarization of Youth) is motivated by a desire to avoid the human suffering that participating in war can entail.  If you want to learn more about NNOMY's work, visit http://nnomy.org -------------  Music: A New Year by Scott Buckley https://soundcloud.com/scottbuckley Creative Commons — Attribution 3.0 Unported — CC BY 3.0 Free Download / Stream: https://bit.ly/_a-new-year Music promoted by Audio Library https://youtu.be/FrLsadzQ2qc ********************** CINDY SHEEHAN'S SOAPBOX   

Nancy Pelosi: Warrior Goddess of the U.S. Constitution by Cindy Sheehan (edited 12/08/19)

Image
Nancy Pelosi: Warrior Goddess of the U.S. Constitution  by Cindy Sheehan Political "Enemies?" George and Nancy. Even before my son Casey was killed in the U.S.’s occupation of Iraq in 2004, I could clearly see that the entire U.S. War on (of) Terror was based on lies and marketed to the American people using admittedly savvy techniques. However, as egregious as attacking Afghanistan after the attacks on 9/11/01 was, the approaching disaster in Iraq loomed even more horrendously on the horizon. I mean Hillary Clinton and Condi Rice were warning of “mushroom clouds” and the (dis)honorable Colin Powell went to the UN to make the case for mobile WMD labs in Iraq. Edward Bernays (nephew of Freud and "Father" of modern propaganda and advertising) would have been very proud of the White House Iraq Group that devised all of these false, yet, if true, very compelling reasons to take out Saddam Hussein. After Casey was killed and after we protested Bush a

Virtual Book Burning? (Free PDF of The Obama Files: Chronicles of an Award-Winning War Criminal

Image
CLICK ABOVE IMAGE FOR FREE PDF CENSORED! I published The Obama Files in 2015 and after four years and virtually no promo, the sales have trickled down to practically zero on Amazon.  I self-published it using Kindle Direct Publishing which is a division of Amazon and it was available "print on demand" (hard copy) or via e-reader.  Anyway, after all this time, I was recently notified by KDP that the title of the book "violates" some kind of standard, even though it passed review while Obama was still president. This leads me to believe that someone has complained and that my work is being censored. Anyway, I am offering a free PDF copy of the book to download and use however you like. Share it with friends, enemies, or frenemies. It is now in the Public Domain. The book is now complimentary, but if you would like to donate a bit to  Cindy Sheehan's Soapbox that would be awesome, also. CLICK TO DONATE   The Obama F

PG & E is Making California a "Shithole Country" by Cindy Sheehan

Image
PG&E is Making California a “Shithole Country” The Kincaid fire in Sonoma County is near where I live, but we are not inundated with smoke like with the Paradise fire.  However, much of Vacaville was without power or wifi for days on two separate occasions, in October. Ironically, despite the punitive power shutoffs, PG&E's aging and poorly maintained equipment probably caused the Kincaid fire.  PG&E has for decades spent money on executive bonuses, salaries ( https://www1.salary.com/PGandE-CORP-Executive-Salaries.html ), donations to individual campaigns and lobbying ( https://www.opensecrets.org/orgs/summary.php?id=D000000290 ) and to conservative sides of propositions in California (such as same-sex marriage and labeling GMOs---against both). So, what if they spent all these millions in repairing their equipment so they can provide power (at a premium) with those who are forced to use that power being assured of a reasonable expectation of safe

"Only the people can save the people" (Soapbox Podcast 11/3/19)

November 3, 2019 Guest: Dakotah Lilly Topic: People Power in Vz and the pathetic state of the puny "left" in the U.S. Dakotah Lilly This week, Cindy welcomes back our good Soapbox friend Dakotah Lilly and they chat about their affection for the late Hugo Chavez and their hope in popular people power in Latin America and the Caribbean. Also, how can we here in the belly of the most vicious beast on Earth create positive change when we can't even overcome factionalism of the fractured left? Any dissent from the dominant paradigm of "identity politics" is immediately attacked and dissenters are wrongfully labeled as "fascist." Anyway, listen to the interview for more information on these topics! Click this image to listen to the Soapbox Interview with Hugo Chavez *********************  CINDY SHEEHAN'S SOAPBOX
