#IlluminateYemen: Rolling Hunger Strike for Yemen

Image
    The humanitarian crisis (genocide) in Yemen is worsening, despite some weak, toothless bill proposed in the US Senate.  We, the people who can think outside of our own borders and immediate circles of concern need to step up our efforts!   So, this is my final day of my hunger strike for Yemen---after I got really ill during the toxic air bombardment of Northern California, it became more of a very low calorie fast, then a liquid fast, and one I will continue indefinitely.  There are still many wonderful humans fasting and India Weeks pledged to take over from me on December 1st and she is still going to. She and others have asked me for tips on what to do while on the hunger strike.   TIPS FOR HUNGER STRIKE I have sent $50/week (grocery savings) to aid the Yemeni and (Women's) March on the Pentagon is collecting money throughout the month of December to send for Yemeni aid at the end of the yea

We REFUSE to Pay to Protest UPDATE: RESPONSE FROM ARLINGTON COUNTY PD: WE DO NOT HAVE TO PAY!!   Statement from (Women's) March on the Pentagon   For Immediate Release Contact: Cindy Sheehan: CindySheehan@MarchonPentagon.com What: The day before Thanksgiving, Cindy Sheehan, co-coordinator of the recent Women’s March on the Pentagon* (WMOP) was presented with a $540 bill for “police escort” by the Arlington County (Virginia) Police Department (ACPD). Background : Beginning in July, leadership of WMOP began taking steps to secure permits from the two jurisdictions that the WMOP would take on October 21st (51st anniversary of the March on the Pentagon during the Vietnam War): Arlington County (brief march) and the Pentagon. Although WMOP eventually obtained a permit from the Pentagon, WMOP was never able to obtain a permit from Arlington County and many phone messages left by DC area Co-ordinator Malachy Kilbride were never returned by the ACPD.   On

An Exclusive Report on her recent inspiring trip to Cuba   Cuba Por Vida by CINDY SHEEHAN First appeared in ROL, USA Newsletter #111 At Gates of Gitmo Torture Camp: 2007 2007 was the first time I went to Cuba—the timing was around the anniversary of the U.S. (under the Bush regime) opening the prison/torture camp at Guantanamo Bay. My traveling companions included an Arab woman whose son was currently detained at Guantanamo; a man who had been detained there; and a mother whose son was killed in the World Trade Center on 11 September 2001. We were quite the group of people whose lives had been fundamentally changed by the actions of the demented U.S. Empire. Despite promises to the contrary by the Obama regime, Guantanamo Prison Camp is still open for torture business all these years later. For my first trip, I recall having to “sneak” into Cuba via Cancun on a very rickety plane of Cubana Airlines. During our visit there, we stayed at hostels and guest house

November 18, 2018 Guest: Erin Brockovich Erin Brockovich TOPIC: Toxic air and water and PG&E Camp Fire from Outer Space Today, because of the horrendous situation Northern California finds itself in (devastating fires, toxic smoke), I decided to replay an interview I did a few years ago with the legendary  Erin Brockovich who took on the murderous utility giant PG&E and beat them. It's been proven, or suspected, that PG&E and it's faulty equipment has caused many of the tragic fires in California (never mind polluting the water and blowing up neighborhoods), but the Democrat controlled government of California refuses to hold them accountable, and is in fact, protecting them from liability and Jerry Brown has vetoed legislation that would force PG&E to bury its power lines. The California Utility Commission is also giving PG&E permission to raise its rates so we the people who are killed, displaced and p

#NoTHANKSgiving by Cindy Sheehan

#NoTHANKSgiving  by Cindy Sheehan A child dies from starvation and other 100% preventable causes in Yemen every 10 minutes. Over one million children are going to die because their hunger is too far gone to go into remission with nutrients. Over 18 million people in Yemen are on the brink of starvation and could die by the end of 2018---in merely six weeks. The genocide in Yemen has been supported by the US government since 2015--when that shining light of love and peace (sarcasm), Obama was president. The US is supporting the government of Saudi Arabia in these atrocities and has been selling dealing over 100 billion dollars of death machines to the repressive and brutal Saudi regime! What can we do about it?  Electing democrats obviously won't help because the democrats began this criminal venture with Saudi Arabia, and I can't remember a war that the democrats didn't support and pay for. Writing letters to Congress, or calling them is also
