"For our Freedom and Other Stuff" by Cindy Sheehan

Casey's boots in the American Friends' Service Committee Exhibit: Eyes Wide Open This weekend is the 13th Memorial Weekend since my son Casey was killed in another US war for profit and global domination. Memorial weekend is a "double whammy" for me because not only am I assaulted with "red, white, blue," gross displays of nationalism, and proclamations of "we honor them because they made the ultimate sacrifice;" but Casey's birthday was May 29th and it always falls on our around Memorial Day. Although, now 38 years in the past, as a mother, the labor's struggle of bringing him into this world and the joy of the culmination of that hard work is still fresh in my mind. As soon as his head emerged from me, he was crying and all eight pounds and two ounces of him were perfect; Tears are pouring from my eyes thinking about it. My body fed and nourished him inside and outside the womb and his sweet spirit and cheerful presenc

Memorial Day by Anthony Freda

Image
 Image by Anthony Freda Is human sacrifice really dead?  Or, are our wars religio-political rituals in which the precious, sacred lives of our young people  are sacrificed at the altar of "democracy and freedom" by order of the new priest class? 22 U.S. veterans commit suicide a day. I would categorize these deaths as Assisted suicides.  Why are so many brave soldiers and veterans killing themselves? Are they coming to the realization that they were never fighting for freedom and democracy as they were told? Are they learning that the pretexts they are given as justification for endless war are actually warped, historical narratives designed   to manufacture their consent? Have they accepted the fact that the true, imperial geopolitical strategies at play are hidden from them and that their sense of patriotism   has been cynically manipulated by those who benefit from enriching and empowering the military industrial complex? Are they becomin

Watch: Student Activist Clashes With Tucker Carlson Over Venezuela Opposition

Image
"Dakotah Lilly, a leader of Students & Youth for a New America in New York City, defended Venezuela on a national US TV news broadcast. Appearing with Tucker Carlson, on a nightly program with 3 to 4 million viewers across the USA, Lilly called out the FOX news host for his blatant distortions of the harsh situation facing the Bolivarian Socialist Republic. Lilly pointed out that Venezuela is facing a wave of terrorism and food hoarding, and that while everyone acknowledges that reforms are desperately needed, neoliberalism is not the answer."  Dyln Namm, MintPressNews ***********************************************************************************

The 19th of May: California Independence Day by Cindy Sheehan

Image
Since my son Casey was killed in Iraq on 04/04/04, I have consistently taken steps to remove myself from the government of the USA: I stopped paying income taxes (how can I fund more murder after I essentially funded the murder of my own son?); I sold my car; dumped my house; and vocally oppose just about everything America does. Unfortunately, I still have a passport and I feel like, not only do I want to live in California, my surviving children (5th generation Californians) and my five grandchildren (6th generation Californians) live here, so I need to live here. Also, why should I be forced to "love it or leave it?" Mostly, almost all the people who can afford to be so mobile and move around the world are the people who create untenable conditions for the rest of us, anyway. Having written the above, you can imagine that I was extremely excited when I saw that there was a renewed interest in California Independence! I quickly contacted leadership of th

"Russiagate" Conspiracy Theory: A Pretext to a Coup by Anthony Freda

Image
I am not a supporter or defender of Trump, I Am a supporter and defender of Truth. When political operatives in the Deep State collude with the discredited, but still oddly influential mainstream media to destroy someone, this dastardly duo cannot be stopped. Even by arguably the most powerful person in the world. The same intelligence agencies and media who lied us into the Iraq War now tell us the president is colluding with Russia. There are plenty of reasons to resist Trump. His continuation of Obama's illegal spying campaign and Hillary's hawkish foreign policy are good places to start. The "Trump-is-a-Russian-Stooge- and-Putin-Hacked-the-Election" conspiracy theory has been widely disproven as there has not been one iota of evidence to support the narrative. The tall tale is a conjured, faux scandal designed to undermine the president's legitimacy (According to Julian Assange) and lay the pretext for impeachment. The Mac

DNC Staffer Murder Cover-Up by Anthony Freda

Image
Julian Assange has suggested before, it was not the Russians who leaked verified email evidence of DNC malfeasance, it was staffer Seth Rich.You know, the same guy who also just happened to be murdered soon after Wikileaks published the damning information. Now there is evidence that Rich was in contact with Wikileaks. During a subsequent television interview in August, Wikileaks Julian Assange appeared to confirm that Rich was the source for the DNC leak, dismantling the claim that Russia was responsible for the leak. Rod Wheeler, a private investigator hired by the Rich family, has now stated that Rich’s laptop contains proof that he was in contact with WIkileaks before his death and that DC Police were ordered to cover it up. “I have a source inside the police department that has looked at me straight in the eye and said, ‘Rod, we were told to stand down on this case and I can’t share any information with you.’ Now, that is highly unusual for a murd
