The Sad Legacy of the “War on Terror” Pt. 1

Adonai

WOW! This is writing about the subject I can understand. Please keep it up. I am looking forward to Part 2. Are you going to cover PNAC? One thing about Bush’s contention regarding those kids, he blew that story immediately after by holding a short press conference outside the school with those students and their teacher present. How is that for giving those kids their moment in the news? I have to say I have such hatred for the Bush crime family and I know it is not right but I cannot help it. I despise that family and his friends.

One thought I had while reading, BinLaden whined about Christianity and their penchant for destruction while he, as a muslum was no better. Religion has been the basis for so many conflicts in this world, it is no wonder so many people question it validity.

When The Simmering Public Finally Erupts

Adlib
I am now eating my words………….

Hi Choice

the ones I could possibly be involved in are over as of today. Will this be an ongoing site? If so, I saved it.

Adlib
I did not mean to imply that the Common Cause protest was not effective in outing the Kochs, just that a sustained movement following them would really grab the attention of the US as a whole.

Choice
I believe they are still in effect. I believe it was in 2009 someone ws protesting at Lafayette Park across from the WH and they were forced to leave because they did not have a permit. In the article it said the organizer tried to get a permit and was denied by the DC city manager. It may not be enforced in every town but it is still enforced at least in DC. Of course they may pick and choose who they harass.

Bito
thanks, I bookmarked it to follow for activity in CA. Now I must say good night. Have a wonderful day tomorrow. I have to work until 2:30, then only 6 more days of 7 hour days. After that 4 1/2 hours a day.

this looks like it might be a good book on organizing and why protests have fallen along the wayside since 9/11

Silencing Political Dissent
How Post-September 11 Anti-Terrorism Measures Threaten Our Civil Liberties
Nancy Chang
2002 Edition
“This analysis by Nancy Chang should be read by everyone concerned with a free society. It reports a chilling set of rules, now the law, which directly affect millions of Americans…” —Howard Zinn

“A tightly argued book” —L.A. Times

Thanks Bito. I just gave her a website that is now being built in his memory. Here is the link for you in case you might want it.

Em
Learn away, he was a brilliant man and a great organizer. Read his Peoples’ History of the United States”(it is online but the book is not edited). He was known for repeating “Democracy is not a Spectator Sport”, in fact THE PEOPLE SPEAK (http://www.thepeoplespeak.com) is inspired by Howard Zinn’s groundbreaking books “A People’s History of the United States” and “Voices of a People’s History of the United States.” Using dramatic and musical performances of the letters, diaries and speeches of everyday Americans, the documentary feature film THE PEOPLE SPEAK gives voice to those who spoke up for social change throughout U.S. history, forging a nation from the bottom up with their insistence on equality and justice. In addition try to catch “You Can’t Be Neutral on a Moving Train” it is a great documentary. Howard Zinn was a hero of sorts to me. He was a dedicated activist and so much more. I learned so much from him through the years. Here is a website dedicated to him. It has alot of info on his works and those works in his memory.

Em
Living in Boston and being a professor at Boston U never stopped Howard Zinn from organizing and leading protests. West could learn a thing or two from Zinn. I know I did.

LOL and I am serious Bito, my rant went for 4 or 5 paragraphs. I could have basically said what you did instead. Don’t ever get me started on protests. I was at the Financial District in 2009 and the HC one in Oakland and it was so disappointing to see people just drop off after one day. That is why I don’t support MoveOn anymore. That bit after Obama was elected they never followed up on and the Oakland HC same thing. I think, like I said of Cornell and Moore it is for noteriety.

Em she was at Princeton and U of Chicago previous to Tulane.

» Posted By SueInCa On September 28, 2011 @ 6:03 pm

Em I probably could lead them, if they were sincere in keeping their protest to one issue, not all over the map like Bito talked about with Anonmyous……………

» Posted By SueInCa On September 28, 2011 @ 5:58 pm

Yeah Princeton is correct. Isn’t Melissa Harris Perry a professor there as well or is it Cornell?

» Posted By SueInCa On September 28, 2011 @ 5:54 pm

He is a professor there I think, Columbia U.

» Posted By SueInCa On September 28, 2011 @ 5:52 pm

Em
You are right he does, he is with Columbia I think.

» Posted By SueInCa On September 28, 2011 @ 5:47 pm

Em
Good for LO. sometimes he does good things.

» Posted By SueInCa On September 28, 2011 @ 5:46 pm

Bito I get your point which actually supports my comments back to Adlib. Anonymous is trying, like West and
Moore to gain more noteriety not really interested in the underlying problem in this country. Just what I was trying to say that took me five paragraphs to convey. Thanks

» Posted By SueInCa On September 28, 2011 @ 5:45 pm

Em
this is where we are not soul sisters. lol. Sure their presence helps bring attention to the cause but I just feel they are doing so for their own noteriety. they are both still respected leaders in their fields and they could lend credence by going back to their home bases and spreading the protest. But my feeling is they will not and eventually it will die right there on WS. Call me cynical, yes I am.

» Posted By SueInCa On September 28, 2011 @ 5:31 pm

Em has been following what is going on with the news and the Wall Street Occupy people pretty close. Thanks Em for reporting what the MSM is doing. Cornell West and Michael Moore have paid visits to the site. Now wouldn’t it be a good idea for them to take it back to their places of origin and spread the struggle. What are the odds that they will actually do that?

» Posted By SueInCa On September 28, 2011 @ 5:22 pm

Em but is he there to get his face in the news or to stand in solidarity with these kids and pace it out? My fear is the noteriety only…………….

» Posted By SueInCa On September 28, 2011 @ 5:14 pm

B sure to let me know…………..they need a leader who will coordinate things.

» Posted By SueInCa On September 28, 2011 @ 5:12 pm

Em don’t get me started on Cornell West lol. I used to really like the guy but now he sounds like just another whiner who did not get the attention he so craves. Good for him to show up but again it takes sustained presence, not showing up one day and then getting back to your business. Al Sharpton could be doing something but now he has his daily show. See what I mean? Theypick and choose their fights and don’t stay around for the long haul.

» Posted By SueInCa On September 28, 2011 @ 4:46 pm

Em we are all in the same boat, it is going to take a call to action more than one time to get people out there. Those who protest then let it die out will never sustain a difference. If MLK had quit, what would have become of Civil Rights? The SDS in the 60’s? Cindy Sheehan in the 2000’s? It takes persistance and just maybe the Wall Street group has it.
