Cindy Sheehan Banned from Facebook for 30 days!
Dear Friend,
On April 04 1967, (exactly a year to
the day before he was assassinated in Memphis, Tn) Martin Luther King,
Jr gave an explosive speech at the Riverside Church called:
Beyond Vietnam-A Time to Break the Silence. Besides saying
that the problems in the US (1967 was also a very tumultuous time, in
recent memory and history) could be traced to the "triple evils" of
"racism, militarism, and poverty," he made the statement about the USA
being the "greatest purveyor of violence in the world today."
Unfortunately, with all of his
sacrifice, and the sacrifice of the millions of people throughout our
history that have marched for peace, equality, and against
state-sanctioned violence in all forms, we find ourselves in a bigger
pickle than ever today in 2021 as we commemorate the birth of who most
people in the USA only think of as someone who was a Civil Rigths
leader, but as his Riverside Church speech in 1967 showed, he was
becoming so much more.
Now, it seems social media is
starting to ban voices from the right and the left and only allowing
mild-stream, middle voices that agree with the established establisment
narrative to use those voices. Social media, especially Twitter,
Facebook, and YouTube, has become and echo chamber of centrist garbage.
Every since I have been on Facebook,
I have gotten banned for some post, or another, but this past year,
since I have questioned the mainstream views on the lockdowns and the
growing police state, my bans are getting more frequent and longer. And I
am critical from the left, not the right, so don't paint me as a
"Trumpster," as is often the case: I am the same antiwar,
anti-Capitalist person I was 11-months ago, except this time, my circle
is growing smaller with all the travel restrictions, quarantines and
governor dikats. However, I have thousands of followers on Facebook,
which has become our primary way of keeping in touch with each other.
If you are on Social Media (I know
many of you are not), I have opened a MeWe account until I can find
somewhere more suitable for my non-mainstream views on everything from
Imperialism to Medical Fascism.
Please follow me on MeWe at this LINK, if you choose.
Love, peace, and solidarity,
Cindy

Who Really Killed Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr (AND RFK)?
Cindy Sheehan's Soapbox continues its quest for truth, peace, and accountability with this offering! Cindy
starts
with Dr. William Pepper, who talks about his personal associations with
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr during the last year of his life, and then
the legal battles Dr. Pepper undertook on behalf of Dr. King's family
and the patsy: James Earl Ray.
Dr.
Pepper offers an unpublicized retrospective view of the passing of one
of our nation's most revered and inspirational leaders.
