Cindy Sheehan's Soapbox

CINDY SHEEHAN'S SOAPBOX SEPTEMBER 28, 2014 With the US in the beginning stage of active bombing in Syria, I think this recent show is a must listen, or must listen again, because of all of the hysterical propaganda swirling around.   GUEST: BRANDON TURBEVILLE  www.BrandonTurbeville.com Truth on the Tracks  SUBJECT: ISIS in Syria and Iraq AND Why doesn't Israel ever get attacked by ISIS and al Qaeda 

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,

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

Cindy Sheehan's Soapbox  September 21, 2014 "We Must Survive Until We Can Transform Society” Huey Newton, PhD GUEST : TOM WATTS TOPIC: REVOLUTIONARY INTERCOMMUNALISM AND  THE BLACK PANTHER PARTY RELEVANT LINKS: WHAT IS REVOLUTIONARY INTERCOMMUNALISM? BY TOM WATTS HUEY NEWTON'S SPEECH AT BOSTON COLLEGE NOVEMBER 18, 1970 

WHAT IS REVOLUTIONARY-INTERCOMMUNALISM? Panther Breakfast Program   By Tom “Big Warrior” Watts   Revolutionary-Intercommunalism is the theoretical understanding that the world we live in today, has become globalized and the principle contradiction in the world is now between the need of the capitalist-imperialist ruling class to consolidate their g lobal hegemony and the anarchy and chaos they are unleashing by attempting to do so, including the threat of a new world war. Revolutionary-Intercommunalism recognizes that because of this globalization, independent nation states can no longer exist as such, and cannot exist except as temporarily “liberated territory” besieged and undermined by the forces and agents of capitalist-imperialism.   Revolutionary-Intercommunalism is illuminated by Marxism-Leninism-Maoism (MLM) and the theory and practice of the original Black Panther Party (BPP) and allied formations in the revolutionary upsurge of the late 196

World War Forever Cindy Sheehan   A good friend of mine Jon Gold has taken to calling the US wars against the planet, “World War Forever.” So, I’d like to thank him for the sadly relevant title of this piece. Today, a friend of mine named Jacob George killed himself. Jacob George Jacob was a young vet who performed three tours of duty in Afghanistan and I met him last year when I was in the middle of riding my bike across from California to Washington DC for Tour de Peace. We met Jacob in the middle of the country: Oklahoma City. I can’t begin to say what the death of such a gentle and sweet human means. The loss is horrible and not just for Jacob’s friends and family, but for all of us. Not only is the Empire deadly to the people who live far away in foreign countries, but also to the people it recruits with lies and dangling “benefits” to lure our young people into its bloody maw and then casually tosses them to the garbage pile when t

--> The Deep State Factionalized Review of The Lone Gladio by Sibel Edmonds Cindy Sheehan Since I have become an activist after my son’s death in Iraq in 2004, I have gotten out of the practice of reading fiction. The exceptions are through my iPod when I am exercising, or when I am on airplanes. And, if I do read fiction, it’s not usually international spy thriller type books.   I find those types of books too real for me now since I have been the subject of surveillance. And, since my son was killed by this “deep state,” I don’t like the traditional way of portraying the protagonists in these books as “heroes,” when I suspect in reality most of them are either boring functionaries or stone-cold killer/torturers. However, having said all that when Sibel Edmonds, (“The Most Gagged Woman in America”) asked me if she could send me a review copy of her fictional (high stress on the "fictional") book The Lone Gladio , I readily agreed because how
