WINTER SOLDIER AGAIN
The testimony was excruciating. The memory of it is corrosive and maddening. If corporate media had noticed rather than denied the mounting evidence, an enraged public would fill the streets. AGAIN, the corporate media types hide behind their masks and blinders and deny the ignorance they have built into the American psyche. Their hands are as bloody as those of the Bush / NeoCon criminal gang. AGAIN our democracy is undermined by the corrupt power of wealth and the abuse of illegitimate power. AGAIN private citizens have to organize in an attempt to push the sad truth into the face of a mis- dis- and un-informed public. Forty years ago I was transformed by the teach-ins that exposed the VietNam insanity. Now I'm haunted by Dylan's words, " ... Waiting to find out what price ... you have to pay to get out of going through all these things twice ... " The same criminal mentality that stole two national elections sold us an unnecessary war. The same blind greed that created the chasm between rich and poor pushes our economy toward collapse and drags the global economy with it. The same corrupt materialism that drove us into war pushes the planet toward eco- disaster. If the NeoFascist Bush movement escapes prosecution and punishment, our sense of justice will take decades to restore. If President Obama escapes assassination and makes good on his promise to purge the "mindset that led us into war," we may have a chance. There are links to more information, and videos of participants, on the site, Home Page (linked from Enter Site) under RANT of the moment.
