When it came to coverage of the Haiti earthquake disaster, the CS Indy left it to their Your Turn column, and by “your” they meant YOUR MASSAH. What caught my eye was the headline “Time for a new Haiti” accompanied by the excerpt blurb “Aristide’s return would be a disaster,” written by a pasty diplomat who had a personal hand in Haiti’s ongoing misery. Here is our allegedly progressive newsweekly giving the podium to IFES criminal Richard Soudriette instead of bundling him off to Port Au Prince for a well deserved drubbing.

Was this among the Anarchist literature which provoked the arrest of Amtrak Terrorist Ojore Lutalo in La Junta last week? Until we get the detailed affidavit, NMT is soliciting input from the exhibitors of the LA Anarchist Book Fair of JAN 24, as to which of their publications Ojore might have picked up that so excited his accusers. Who among them for example, is recruiting terrorists or propagandizing against America?

Sounds bad, eh? Church people not being allowed to take kids out of the devastated country? Only, remember, AMERICAN Immigration policies and the really Racist Anti-Immigrant factions would find some way to make these church people and the kids suffer for such a decision.
If it had been as simple as allowing Haitians to migrate to the land of Their Corporate Owners unfettered it would have been done long ago. Another thing, and I’ll have to step gentle here, there’s a LOT of people who would jump at the chance to have Free Kids just for the price of pick-up and shipping. And a lot of them are what are politely called Predators.
Being a Church Going Christian isn’t exactly a recommendation anymore. Serial Killers and other forms of Sex Predators often use the name “christian” to hide their crimes.
Not that All or even MOST of the Christian people who want desperately to help in any way possible are that sort. But all it would take is ONE incident and the Right Wing Anti-Immigrant freaks will pounce like a half-starved cougar on a half-can of cat food.
Can you imagine what Dobbs would do with an opening like that? Michael Savage Weiner? Or more locally, Malkin and Tancredo?

So far one has come forward and said that the Corporate Thieves are so much better than the rest of us that they Deserve to rule over us. From a town named after a Confederate officer who owned slaves and used the same Sophistries to justify owning Human Beings that the Corporate Apologist uses to defend the Superiority of Corporate Rule.
Of course, the Corporate Plantation owners, like the “Superior” Rich Bitch Corporate Leaders of today, had their money made for them on the backs of Real WORKERS. And when it came to a time when they could no longer hold the WORKERS down by themselves, the Corporate Plantation owners convinced a bunch of Really Ignorant People that the Really Ignorant People would suffer Tyranny if the WORKERS were set free.
Just like the Klan and their latest reincarnation The Tea Party do today.

Everyone’s a gaggle about President Obama’s masterful one man stand against assembled Republicans, which served to dot the exclamation mark of this SOTU performance. Like it was Daniel in the lions den, and not simply a lion tamer, sticking his head here, cracking the whip there. Obama didn’t emerge with health care, or any kind of concession. He emerged unscathed and made those lions look like mice. So what? It’s political theater. Why does this act have the Left defending Obama like the home town champion, against the corporate team, instead of the Globe Trotter act he is? When the show is over, nothing’s changed.

As the US military descends to throttle Gaza’s -excuse me- Haiti’s points of entry, as it prepares detention facilities at Guantanamo to intercept and repatriate the expected rush of Haitian refugees, as the US protects its business interests in the Dominican Republic and Haiti which profit from the kept-poor labor market of captive Haiti, there are fewer differences than parallels. One difference, Israeli medics are willing to come help the injured of Haiti.

As in, they were so gleeful about Corporate Takeover, with Supreme Court “justices” making the rulings that Corporations are better than Real People, until their base. the Teabaggers, the Minutemen, the Klan, other anti-anybody-else Racist Nutjobs, started listening to one word… Foreign. The FOREIGN corporate interests being able to decide American policy. Oh, My my my my my my my….
What’s the difference between Halliburton and Richard “the Dick” Cheney running America through Corporate Fascism and say, the UAE and perhaps the Queen (or King when she finally goes to Hell) of England doing so? Simple, they’re Foreign Evil Despots instead of our own home grown Evil Despots.
I’m sure the Righties will want to amend the Constitution now but, in their own loveable way.Only AMERICAN Corporate Dictatorship will be allowed.

Activists Amber Nitchman and Eric Blevins, who brought a halt to Massey Energy’s mountaintop removal blasting of West Virginia’s Coal River Mountain, have been forced down by the cold. Bail and expenses exceed $6,000, contact Climate Ground Zero if you can help.

So, predictably (thus, often predicted) Darker Skinned Americans are now, in an unofficially official manner, targeted by “law” Enforcement once more merely because of our “dark brooding menacing swarthy appearance”. A matter of Fear which often visits the Ruling Class. I used to experience it every summer during Revival Season, because some preachers like to pump up the “Jungle Fever” Hamites-and-other-persons-of-color-being-born-evil blatant racism. Get down from the trees and onto your knees routine. For a while, too, in Ft Worth and a shorter while in El Paso, I had a job called “paperhanging”, putting advertisements on doors. There’s a lot of semantics involved in all of this, phrases and words which mean far different things to different social groups.

Former political prisoner Ojore Nuru Lutalo, ne Leroy Bunting, was pulled off an Amtrak train in La Junta, Colorado, for scaring fellow passengers with his cell phone conversation. The FBI’s Colorado Springs Joint Terrorism Task Force was alerted about the 64 year-old armed with anarchist literature from the “Afrikan Liberation Army” (sic) which he had obtained while speaking at the LA Anarchist Book Fair for the Anarchist Black Cross, a prison rights organization. Just yesterday I listened to a local law enforcement type defend the 2nd Amendment, the right to bear arms, by suggesting that if we substituted “books” for guns, no one would think to regulate them. His compatriots seem to have confused the argument by charging the former Black Liberation Army member for “endangering public transportation” with what they called terrorist recruiting propaganda.

At least according to News 5 and Department of Homeland Security. They pulled a bookseller off an Amtrak train on a report that he was talking terrorism over a cell phone, from the Frightened Brainwashed Cowards that are making up more and more af America,
“Home of the Brave”? Hardly. A bookseller returning from an Anarchist Book Fair having Anarchist Books.
God Damn, America is being over-run by Chickenshits.
The News 5 anchors said “he DID have Anarchist propaganda.” So the Hell What? Somebody boarding a bus carrying the Gazette would have Fascist propaganda in his possession.

Kathy Lee babbling about this cop who got into a wreck in 1996, even though badly injured himself he got out of his squad car and went and held the other driver in his arms until he died, very touching.
Actually, my take on it is he wanted the other driver to live long enough so his Fellow Cops could beat the living hell out of him. I might be wrong, but I think I’m not.

When Corporate Whore “pastor” Dobson put up a million dollars of Church money and 3 million more in Tax-Deductible (not just Tax Exempt, the corporate thieves are once more doing what they do worst, getting Other Taxpayers to {those who actually PAY Taxes} to subsidize their political and corporate aims) to put up what’s really a blatant advertisement for people to send tax-free money to Dobson, they challenged Actually, TOLD Liberals to shut up about it. Only, Pastor Dobson, Mr Tebow, Mr Scarborough, We Don’t Take Orders From Your Fascist Lot, m’kay?
Or we have to spend our own money for a Super Bowl Ad. In other words, if you don’t have a corporation, and millions of dollars to spend, you don’t have a Right To Speak About It.
Even before Mornin’ Joe and company made the “challenge”/slash/STFU command the Gay dating site MancrunchDOTcom had already done so.

In the name of giving emergency aid to the people.
A couple of quick predictions, the U.S. military will invite the other Foreign Nations providing aid to either bow to U.S. supremacy or leave Haiti. That would mean the people who have actually been IN Haiti for years providing such aid and comfort, easing the suffering of the people.
Cubans, Venezuelans, Chinese, Swiss (Medicins Sans Frontiers) will be ordered either to Lick U.S. Army Boot or take off. Bye-bye, see y’all. WE are in control now.

Meaning the snivelling cowards who make money off Americans living in Perpetual Fear. The ones who started and maintain the Iraq Invasion/conquest/occupation, for instance, the ones who put Homeland Security in place, the so-called “Patriot” act.
They’ve gotten enough professional liars to convince enough professional politicians to block any real trials of terrorism suspects.
Not because THEY’RE afraid of terrorism… they’re afraid of the truth. Let’s give a shout-out to one of the Local perpetrators of this fraud, “Gunny” Bob Newman. How about it “gunny”? What are your fascist pig buddies afraid of? The Torture coming to light, how about the three ALLEGED torture-unto-death of three inmates? But that’s already come to light…

The Colorado Springs peace envoys to the 2009 Gaza Freedom March in Palestine flew back to town last week with absolutely no fanfare, no media reception, no press releases, no coordination by organizers to make an event of their attempted peace mission. They will report on their adventure to the PPJPC at the end of January, but that’s the extent of what those who contributed funds to the project will get for their money.

with manslaughter. Not a surprise. The charges are still Murder. Pure. Simple. Cowardly Murder. He stalked the MAN he killed, knowing full well that he would be unarmed, in Church, and blew him away. Right Wing Terrorist Freaks like to have truly helpless and unsuspecting victims.
It’s why they have Drones to kill by proxy.
And the WORST cowards of them all are those who turned this unMANned drone on and pointed it in the direction of a Church to murder a human being.

“If you work through the existing structures you are going to be corrupted. By working through a political system that poisons the atmosphere, even the progressive organizations, you can see it even now in the US, where people on the “Left” are all caught in the electoral campaign and get into fierce arguments about should we support this third party candidate or that third party candidate. This is a sort of little piece of evidence that suggests that when you get into working through electoral politics you begin to corrupt your ideals. So I think a way to behave is to think not in terms of representative government, not in terms of voting, not in terms of electoral politics, but thinking in terms of organizing social movements, organizing in the work place, organizing in the neighborhood, organizing collectives that can become strong enough to eventually take over —first to become strong enough to resist what has been done to them by authority, and second, later, to become strong enough to actually take over the institutions.” –Howard Zinn, Anarchist, in 2008 AK Press interview

Though both Israel and Hamas are accused of war crimes during last year’s Operation Cast Lead, Human Rights Watch confirms its role as US policy whip by admonishing Hamas to account for its killing of civilians, yielding the AP headline: Human rights group: Hamas targeted civilians. February 5th is the deadline imposed by the UN for both parties to respond to charges made in the Goldstone Report. Fair enough, Hamas rockets killed three residents of Sderot while the IDF killed 1,400 in Gaza. But confusion always resurfaces about Sderot, formerly the Arab town of Najd. Can settlers deliberately mobilized to occupy Sderot, be excluded as legitimate targets of their dispossessed victims? Is Israel hiding behind civilian settlers which it moves illegally to advance its hold on conquered land?

The concept of unMANned drones being launched by cowards who want the pleasure of killing without the danger of BEING killed… Kind of like the Sniper killers who ambush from hiding a mile away. The Air Force Bombers who drop their hardware on Third World people who live in huts, from 9 miles up in the sky, so high up that the PEOPLE they’re murdering can’t even see the planes. The Drone-launchers are the Hate Speech leaders and their masters who pay them handsomely to launch their deranged unguided Drones against Civilians… only, here they get to kill Americans. Probably Glenn Beck and Michelle Malkin wet themselves in orgasmic transports when they think of the Stupid Punks they send off, killing kids like Forde and Bush, or trying to kill kids like Akisson, when the Liberals who his Masters had promised him would grovel and scream for mercy as the Mighty White Hunter mows them down… he was aiming for the Kids first.

As you come in from the cold spell, think of the Coal River Mountain tree-sitters who are passing their seventh night in drizzling cold, getting by with just what they could pack in the first day, their support crews arrested, their trees now blockaded by fences. Attempts to resupply their brave squats have been intercepted, yesterday Ben Fiorillo was arrested, this morning, David Baghdadi. A flyover today yielded great photos, but no means of reaching the sitters with food, water, heat, batteries or ear protection against the high decibel air horns with which the coal mine security men have been harassing the activists. If you can conjure any alternatives for support, contact Climate Ground Zero. The good news: calls from internet supporters have persuaded West Virginia authorities to temper their aggressive counter-eco-insurgency tactics, and thus far Massey Energy has been prevented from blasting in its Mountaintop Removal efforts because of the treesit presence.

The idolatrous worship of War. The Pentagon in specific. I’ll throw this out as a reminder to those wayward ones among my fellow Christians as to what the REAL sign of the Antichrist is, “left off the gods of his fathers and worships instead the god of Forces”. Now for the obligatory Partisan Observation, the main reason the Democratic Party hosts more Peace Activists than the R’s is because the Republicans don’t even allow the notion of Not Killing Other People For Obscene Profit to darken the doorway of their “big tent”.
They would welcome NAMBLA into their tent before letting in people who oppose Killing Children in the Name of God (But For The Sake Of Money) and don’t bow down and worship the Military in all things at all times. The real estate crash was merely the fulcrum to the lever that tore down the economy of the world. The elephantine weight of War Costs was the counterweight.
A Quote from Antiwar.com: Read more »

is talking about expanding the Stranglehold of the Military Industrial complex, tearing down Public Education and reinforcing the chains of Oil Slavery.
More Terrorism against other nations, More War Crimes including and especially the Torture and Murder of prisoners.
Give Wall Street more tax breaks.
Complete Denial that his Fascist Corporate Accomplices crashed the economy in the first damn place.

President Obama isn’t going to them hat-in-hand and acting all whipped down. Don’t know how long that will last, but the Pigs really really hate it when somebody doesn’t grovel when ordered to do so.
They’re probably once again longing for the day when they could turn the dogs on, or beat down, or simply Hang somebody for being “uppity”.

SOTUWTF- Offshore oil and gas, nuclear energy, and “Clean Coal.” Bush could say that and smile like a dumb-ass. Can Obama pretend he’s not channeling Palin? Domestic spending freeze. Will bypass congress to establish a bipartisan commission to privatize Social Security. Didn’t call SC justices scum, put the subject of war on a backburner, the SON OF A BITCH.
