NOW HEAR THIS: Cindy's Internet broadcasts continue ! CHRIS FLOYD !   Click here to listen or download, beginning at 2:00 PM San Francisco time.  Today, (October 30th), Cindy brings us a long-anticipated (and memorable) interview with Chris Floyd , the intellectual light shining through the pages of " Empire Burlesque ."  A prolific and articulate writer, his perceptive private blog has illuminated all of us here at Soapbox and inspired many of our firm principles.  We're not yet certain WHICH topics he'll discuss with Cindy.  However, I would guess that he will discuss our recent "Police Riot" in Oakland on Tuesday night, 10/25 2011.  That was the evening that Scott Olsen sustained a skull fracture after being shot in the head with a police projectile while peacefully participating in an Occupy Oakland march.  Honor our veterans?  An Iraq War veteran who survived two tours of duty got his skull fractured in ... Oakland!  53 activists wer

Obama On The Couch !   Click here to listen or download, beginning at 2:00 PM San Francisco time.  Today, (October 23rd), Cindy welcomes Dr. Justin A. Frank M.D. - who practices and teaches psychoanalysis in Washington, DC and is Clinical Professor of Psychiatry at the George Washington University Medical Center.  A clinician with more than thirty year's experience, Dr. Frank has been a former columnist for Salon.com, DailyBeast.com, and continues to be a frequent contributor to HuffingtonPost.com on topics as diverse as politics, film, and theater.  He employs the principles of applied psychoanalysis to assemble the kind of psychological profile used in his previous best-selling book Bush on the Couch (ReganBooks 2004, 5, 7) in his new book Obama on the Couch: Inside the mind of the President , released October 18, 2011 by FreePress/Simon&Schuster. 

(The USA is the) most dangerous power the world has ever known - the authentic rogue state, but a rogue state of colossal military and economic might. Nobel Literature Laureate; Harold Pintar, 2001 As Khujeci Tomai put it, “Dead men tell no tales. They cannot stand trial. They cannot name the people who helped them stay in power. All secrets die with them.” Dictionary.com defines a Rogue State as: “— n a state that conducts its policy in a dangerously unpredictable way, disregarding international law or diplomacy.” Especially since 9/11, according to this definition, the USA has sunk to the level of Rogue State. Wow, I thought Bush was bad and that we had sunk about as low as we could go during those insane years, but Obama is excavating new territory. Just since the Occupy movement began, the Obama regime has ( among other things) : 1) assassinated several US citizens in Yemen,   (without due process) including a 16 year old having dinner with his buddies; 2) Sent “advisors” t

Justice for Casey Sheehan and hundreds of thousands of others NOT JUST A NUMBER It was with great sorrow and fear that my family watched the insane and inexplicable rush of our nation to invade two countries that had absolutely nothing to do with the events on September 11.2001. It was with greater sorrow and fear that my family watched one of our indispensable members, Casey, march off to one of those immoral occupations in Iraq. Our lives were shattered when he came home in a cardboard box, shortly after he was killed there on April 04, 2004. We picked Casey's body up from the airport in San Francisco for the final time at a United Airlines loading dock, where his cardboard box was unceremoniously loaded into the hearse for his last ride home.(And the longest ride of my life). Andy Sheehan kisses the coffin of his brother Along with the rest of our family, Casey was opposed to these wars of aggression and before he left for Iraq, Casey

I am your host Cindy Sheehan and you are listening at CindySheehansSoapbox.com. Well I’m heading to New York City tomorrow (note: I didn't make tat trip and decided to stay home and attend Occupy Sacramento)  to attend the Occupy Wall Street protest on Saturday. I am going to Boston on Sunday and I am going to be speaking at the Occupy movement of Boston and I think it is an exciting movement but my question to the movement is what’s next? I will be writing reports for my blog at CindySheehanssoapboxblogspot.com. I will be doing some interviews while I am there to play on the air for next week and the week after. My guest today and I am so honored and thrilled to have him, he is politician, actor, writer and raconteur and a very dear man Malachy McCourt. Malachy welcome to Cindy Sheehan’s Soapbox.

Not My First Dance Cindy Sheehan In the year 2007, I was hot on the trail of the impeachment of George Bush and Dick Cheney for treason. One of my faux-allies was Congressman John Conyers who wrote a book called: The Constitution in Crisis: The Impeachment of George W. Bush while he was ranking member of the House Judiciary Committee.  So, after Conyers became the chair of that same committee when the Democrats regained control of the House of Representatives in early 2007, many of us pressed him hard to introduce articles of impeachment. I went to DC frequently and met with him many times. Each time, he would schedule another meeting and we would get together and talk about it some more; then he would schedule another meeting…until one day in July of that year, 50 of us got arrested in his office after we went there demanding impeachment...and he tried to schedule another meeting. I think that’s called something like: stonewalling. Lately, I have been working with the activis

LISTEN TO THE SHOW HERE CS: Cindy Sheehan MC: Martina Correia CS: Welcome back to Cindy Sheehan’s Soapbox. I am your host Cindy Sheehan and you are listening at CindySheehansSoapbox.com. Our guest today is Martina Correia sister of recently executed Troy Anthony Davis. It’s a very timely and meaningful show and I know that there is a lot of things going on around the country with the Occupy Wall Street movement and Occupy everywhere movement and that’s very important and here at the Soapbox personally we are in solidarity with that but I don’t think we should forget the sacrifice and martyrdom of Troy Davis and work really hard against the institutional inequalities that keep allowing executions in this country. The death penalty and the inequality of so called cop killers being murdered by the state when killer cops get to basically go free with just a slap on the wrist. Martina Correia welcome to Cindy Sheehan’s Soapbox. MC: Thank you for having me. CS: First of all I wo

Mugshot from my arrest later that night. Hello, it’s great to finally be able to be here with you today—I have been out of the state, but I have been watching you on the local news and you have been doing a great job! The other day, on my Facebook wall, one of my “friends” asked me when I was going to, “Join the 99%.” “Join the 99%?” I didn’t know that was an option! I “joined” the 99% 54 years ago when I was born down in L.A. I am just excited the other 99.9999% is beginning to wake up to the fact the plutocracy here in the U.S,. and globally, declared class war against us generations ago and WE are starting to fight back—finally! Well, I live not too far down the road in that liberal mecca of free thinking, communists: Vacaville. I am just, unfortunately kidding, of course, because just being a Democrat is considered subversive there and I am telling you this to tell you about something that happened to me this morning. I went to exercise class at my gym and one of my fellow
