DRAFT GORE

I just received this email tonight, so I thought I would pass it along. Al Gore already broke my heart, he has already said he won't run, that he has , "...fallin out of love with politics."

We have already decided to vote for Dennis Kucinich, and to even write him in - that decision was made after being staunch Gore supporters and Al Gore saying firmly that he was not going to run. I don't think Al Gore is going to change his mind, and I might be wrong, but just in case.....here's the site that is trying like crazy to draft him for you, with a petition to sign. What would happen if Al would run? I think he would whip the pants off of anyone, and can you imagine if he chose Dennis Kucinich or even Edwards as a running mate? Holy tamales.

WHAT REALLY HAPPENED

Heh everyone, how's it going? Hope you enjoyed the doggie logic from Bill & Dale and Lupe; we met them many years ago camping in Mulege, infact, Lupe was a little stray they took home with them. Their emails are always uplifting and a breath of much needed fresh air. Speaking of doggies, we took ours in for their shots today, what a production.

The problem is, the last couple of weeks it has been difficult for me to blog, because I had a rather rude awakening. For a long time now, I've been using Micheal Rivero's What Really Happened site for sources. I liked What Really Happened, up until just recently.

I don't know if you remember, but just a while back, the US Holocaust Museum offered up a photo album entitled "Aushwitz through the Lens Of The SS". This album showed what members of the SS were up to; relaxing, picnicing, laughing, having a great time, while thousands were being killed at Aushwitz. Here is a link:

TEXT

Then, What Really Happened ran a piece on how this album was "propaganda". Next, Michael Rivero admitted he was anti-semite. Next, he ran an article just two days ago from a well known Holocaust denial site, which basically turned my stomach.

It is too late now to turn the pages of history back and deliver the whole of Israel back into the hands of the Palestinians. It was wrong how the British and US subdivided the Mid East after WWII without giving the Palestinians a homeland. It is wrong that there are no peace talks, thanks to George Bush the neo-cons and the ultra zealot Zionists, and it is shameful that the Palestinians do not have a homeland and have to live like subhuman beings. But what the radical anti-zionists want - a non-existant Israel - is equal to saying, the United States needs to give back all of the land to the Native Americans and to the Mexicans. Yes, there is a huge difference between being a Zionist and being an orthodox Jew. Yes, the outrageous influence of AIPAC on USA's political policy must stop, including the partitioning of Iraq. The secret dealings must stop, the spying must stop. Israeli atrocities towards the Palestinian peoples must stop, period. The billions of dollars we send to Israel must stop, or at least be reduced drastically.

But, all of those things put together simply do not erase the fact that there was a Holocaust, and that is something we should never forget. To deny that fact is propaganda, and it is propaganda used despicably to further more hate.

So, adios What Really Happened, in my humble opinion, you are just as bad as George Bush, using lies and deception and preying on the fears of Americans everywhere to further your cause.


Goodnight, from Baja California.

SCHOOL OF THE AMERICAS WATCH Y PRESENTE ! WHEN THE CHICKENS COME HOME TO ROOST

Today when Mike came home he said, "Did you order something, because this really heavy box was at the Post Office." I had to think a moment and then I realized it was the material from SOA Watch that I told them I would distribute in San Diego. I'd put some of these newspapers out around here, but I would probably get busted and thrown out of the country.

I want to share with you the front page article from Presente, which is a little long, but worth the read, and if you want, contact Hendrick Voss at SOA Watch at www.SOAW.org and for a small donation, they will send you the current edition of Presente which you can distribute in your neighborhoods.

From Presente:

When The Chickens Come Home To Roost
Gangs In The Americas And The Cycle Of Violence And Domination
By, Guadalupe Chaves and Tiel Rainelli
SOA Watch Southern California

Images of young Latino men with tattoos are often used by the media to generate fear and anti-immigrant sentiments. When individuals and their experiences are dehumanized enough, many people turn away in fear. But if we step beyond those broad stereotypes and take a closer look, we can see that those tattoos tell war stories of long before their wearers were born and how their eyes offer insights into the psychological trauma and effects of repression and war. We see Children of War, some of whom have established one of the most well-organized and largest numbering street gangs in the country. Mara Salvatrucha (MS 13),a Salvadorian street gang formed in Los Angeles operates now out of at least 31 states and three countries. MS 13 has spread like a wild fire: sweeping across poverty-stricken areas of Central and North America. The formation of MS 13 has a unique origin that needs to be understood.

During the 1980's, under the false logic of the Cold War, the United States provided direct military aid and the School of the Americas training for the Salvadoran army that was systematically violating human rights in El Salvador. US military aid, training, and on-the-ground advisers provided the government of El Salvador with the resources and know-how to terrorize the civilian population.

The war left over 70,000 dead and not a single soul untouched. Over two million people fled El Salvador with a great majority of them immigrating into the United States. Los Angeles became a refuge for many Salvadoran families. Faced with oppression on the streets of Los Angeles, jobs were hard to come by and the schools and streets were occupied by gangs defending their territory and indifferent to the struggle of the newly arrived. Many MS 13 members are the sons and daughters of the people that fled the US sponsored war in El Salvador. The 1990's were an incredibly bloody time for Los Angeles gangs and communities. the "War on Gangs" gradually began to take shape in the mid 1990's after a 1996 immigration law in the US facilitated the deportation of undocumented people serving more than two years in US detention facilities. From 1996 to 2003, the United States deported 70,000 people to El Salvador. those deported were not well received once they arrived in El Salvador, instead they were stigmatized and marginalized for their cultural differences and kept out of yet another system of employment, and education.

In response to the deportations and the import of the gang culture from the United States to El Salvador, the Salvadorian government implemented "localized anti-gang measures and formed death squads that emerged to kill youth thought to be gang members." The efforts of the Salvadorian government have been championed by the White House and Department of Homeland Security and have in fact led to the Salvadorian government's hosting of the International Law Enforcement Academy (ILEA). The ILEA is a US run police training school on Salvadorian soil. the school will train security forces from throughout Latin America and is operating from the exact mindset that has given rise to the School of the Americas (SOA/WHINSEC). Both institutions are part of a racist system of violence and domination that promotes US sponsored repression as the one-size-fits-all solution to social problems throughout the Americas.

The anti-gang initiatives implemented and proposed by the United States and Salvadorian governments have done little to address the core conditions of tyranny that have given rise to the ever-developing gang culture. MS 13 and other street gangs need to be understood and addressed in a context that recognizes and validates the systemic forces that have led to their creation, and incorporates the gang members into the decision making and strategic planning processes needed to tackle the vulgar injustices of being poor in the Americas.

As Americans scour through policy books searching for a quick fix for the gang violence it is important to admit and take responsibility for the monster we have created. As Malcolm so eloquently put it, the chickens have come home to roost."

**



Unfortunately, George Bush and company have been too busy to concern themselves over our societal problems. I don't agree with the author that "...Americans will scour through policy books searching for a quick fix.." Private Contractors will be the answer, unless we are able to stop them; already there are 180,000 active and armed private contractors in Iraq, and just recently Raytheon was granted a 15 BILLION dollar contract to work with the US government:


TEXT

Here is John Robb's take on the Raytheon deal:


TEXT


So, absolutely we need to shut the SOA & ILEA down, but we also need to shut down the Private Contractors who eventually, if left to their own resources, will be the enforcers of tyranny not only throughout the Americas, but throughout the world.

I wonder if anyone will ask the Democratic candidates tommorrow evening during their "debate" if they are going to shut down SOA, ILEA and the Private Contractors?

COLUMBIAN PRES LEE BOLLINGER BLASTS AHMADINEJAD

Wow, did you hear Lee Bollinger's introduction to Ahmadinejad? Here are exerpts:


TEXT


It is unfortunate that Ahmadinejad CLAIMS to represent the Iranian people, who don't even like him for the most part, and the cause of a Palestinian State. Even as a Palestinian State supporter, I caught him in lie after lie during both presentations, to the National Press Club and at Columbia. Any message was lost because of the messenger.

We must distinguish between Ahmadinejad's beliefs and those of the Iranian people, just as the world must distinguish between Bush's beliefs and actions and those of the majority of the American people.

But, the neo-cons don't want us to distinguish the difference, they want us to believe wholeheartedly that Iran is Ahmadinejad, and Ahmadinejad is Iran. Sadly, both we and the Iranian people have to endure this hypocrite for two more years, just as the American people obviously have to endure Bush for almost the same amount of time. Their focus is to paint a completely black and white picture, with no shades of gray for their own purposes.

Before you side with the dogs of war, probably one of the best specialists in Mideast affairs and politics has offered up another great article today:

Turning Ahmadinejad Into Public Enemy No. 1

AHMADINEJAD PRESS CONFERENCE NATIONAL PRESS CLUB

Heh everyone, we had a catastrophic weekend with the water lines again, so I've been absent. Much goings on, but the emphasis is on Ahmadinejad's visit to New York. I just finished listening to his press conference at the National Press Club. Here are some highlights:

When asked about two Iranian journalists who were sentence to death, and the report that Iranian women who opposed the Iran government were beaten and tortured, he claimed that these reports were "distortions of press accounts." We will have to watch this one, as the reports came from Reporters Without Borders and the Human Rights Watch.

He denied that Iranian weapons were going into Iraq.

When asked if there was anyway Iran and the state of Israel could co-exist in peace, he replied: " We do not recognize that regime...it consistently threatens its neighbors, last week Syria, last year Lebanon. He went on to state that Israel "...discriminates, kills people in an effort to expand."

He did not deny the Holocaust, he admitted it did happen in Europe, but he posed the question, "Why should Palestinian people be affected, why should they lose their land?"

In answer to the question whether it was right or wrong for the Iranian students in the uprising of 1979 to have held 150 Americans hostage, he preferred to not answer that question directly, by saying that it would mean rehashing the past history of interventionism of the United States in Iran namely, "...the coup of 1953, the sponsoring of a dictatorship, the efforts to divide Iran, the robbing of resources from Iran and defending Saddam in the Iran-Iraq war."

Ahmadinejad is correct about the state of Isreal as an aggressor, particulary towards the Palestinian peoples. He is also correct about the past history of United State interventionism. It is unfortunate that Israel has become the modern Nazi's of today, barely any atrocities which they commit against the Palestians ever even reach the MSM in America. I believe that the majority of the Israeli peoples do not want war, nor do they want this aggressor behaviour towards the Palestinians, but the peace movement in Israeli is stifled in the Israeli press, just as the Bush doctrines flourish in the American MSM.

Should Ahmadinejad ever had said that "Israel should be wiped off the face of the earth"? Nope, bad move, but perhaps people should ask the question, why did he say that in the first place? We are ignorant of this Persian culture, just as we are ignorant of Israel's cruelty and the terror she bestows on the Palestinians.

Meanwhile, on the north, Iran has shut down the border with great links:

Freedom Of Speech ??? University Of Florida Incident and Blocking Voting Machine Testing

SPECIAL EDIT: HEH GUYS, SORRY THAT LINK TO THE VIDEO FROM www.thefirstpost.co.uk/ from the Counterpunch article is not coming up. I checked the site, and it is down, so keep checking back, or just bookmark www.thefirstpost.co.uk/ and you can do a search for the vid when the site is back up.


When I first saw the tasering University of Florida vid on the MSM, I have to tell you, I was confused; I didn't have alot of sympathy for the student because I thought he was really sketchy, out of control and extremely agitated. On the other hand, I wondered why did the campus police jump all over this guy so quickly? The vid focused only on the student's question of Kerry's participation in the "Skull and Bones Society." Then, from another MSM broadcast was another clip of this same student standing on a street corner with a sign telling people the ending to the popular movie, Harry Potter. Hmmm, thought I, a spoiler, and who would do that, that's weird. Next, I find out that the student is a senior and a Journalist major. Well, thought I, he'll never get a job working for the White House Press Corps.

Then, last evening, I read this article with another angle of the video with questions the student was asking Kerry which DID NOT make the MSM news. Here's the article with the video at the end:

Why Did Senator John Kerry Stand Idly By?
by, Paul Craig Roberts

TEXT

Why did the MSM not show video of the initial questions posed to Kerry about the stolen election and the Ohio votes?




Wait, there's more: From this mornings news the MSM : Click Today show and scroll to "More Details On Tasered Student"

TEXT



Wait, there's more: An eyewitness account, which is told in the second person:

Eyewitness Account Of The Student Tazering

TEXT

So, according to this witness, this guy was on a rampage storming up the aisles, interupted another person who was in line to ask a question, grabbed the microphone and the audience clapped and cheered, not because of his questions, but because he was disruptive and was hauled off. If we are to believe this witness, no wonder the Campus Police were right behind him, watching his moves. Heh, anyone out there remember Virginia Tech?




Wait, there's more: Right at this moment, and I might be wrong, I'm of the opinion that the student sealed his fate in the auditorium, and because of his demeanor trivialized super important issues, and made them almost laughable. Now, when people think of the Ohio votes and the stolen election, or even the Skull and Bone society, they will remember this incident and think, 'Oh yea, the looney kid. Har,har,har." And that's a shame. It is also a smear on Paul Craig Roberts, and that is a shame, but what can I say? Look before you leap. Heck, maybe the looney kid was a plant, who knows? The guy is a loser.



Wait there's more: Maybe the police should taser these people, the ones who have blocked voting machine testing:

BLACKWATER: THE UNTOUCHABLE GOLEMS

Mary Shelley's Frankenstein was originally subtitled,"The Modern Prometheus" - an allegory to the coming horrors of technology and the Industrial Revolution. Throughout the years, there have been numerous debates as to who really was the monster,Dr. Victor Frankenstein, the creator and neglector, or the monster himself.

Prior to Shelley's work, there were other fables of the creation of animate beings from inanimate matter, who usually turned on their makers and fiendishly roamed the earth in an evil fashion, namely, the Golems.

Despite that these figures of tale and literature were created from inanimate matter, they represented the very darkest side of mankind's nature. More terrifying, is the creation of present date Frankensteins and Golems created from animate nature, for example, Blackwater.

There will come a time, if these fiends are not destroyed, that they will turn on all of us, of that there is no doubt in my mind. Beware the shadow army; your worst nightmares have come to past America, and it's not a Hollywood movie, it's not a fantasy, it's not a scary Halloween night's story, it's real.


From today's headlines - will Blackwater be held accountable? (Also, great links within the article questioning the actual "contract")

Heh guys, this is so bizarre. So today I checked out my stats, and two in particular were interesting. One was from Washington D.C., Veterans Affairs, the other was from the Pentagon. I always seem to get a lot of hits from D.C., no biggie, but the Pentagon? Check it out, this is how stat counter stats read:

If you google that URL in, you will see page after page of blog after blog, and how they came up with me I don't know, because I didn't bother going through all of the pages.

SHAME ON YOU IOWA DEMOCRATIC LEADERS EXCLUDING KUCINICH

Oh, oops, that's right, I almost forgot this is ethanol lovin country we're talking about:

Email from Dennis Kucinich:

"IOWA DEMOCRATIC LEADERS TRYING TO RIG THE GAME BY EXCLUDING KUCINICH, PERSIDENTIAL CANDIDATE CHARGES"

"DES MOINES, IA - Democratic Presidential candidate Dennis Kucinich said Iowa Democratic Party leaders and other groups aligned with the entrenched political power structure are "rigging the game in Iowa" by excluding him from two Presidential events this week.

"The whole purpose of the primary and caucus season is to provide voters with opportunities, not to enable a carnival of interest groups to subvert the process," Kucinich said. "When Party leaders and their allies pre-select which candidates they will allow the voters to hear, it's a disservice to the voters. Iowans deserve better than a rigged game."

Congressman Kucinich, (D-OH), was not invited to sunday's Democratic Steak Fry in Indianola, nor to a Democratic Presidential Forum Thursday in Davenport. Representative of both events have falsely claimed that Kucinich does not have a sufficiently "active organization" in Iowa.

However, statewide and national polls consistently show Kucinich running ahead of Senators Joe Biden and Christopher Dodd, who were invited to participate. A recent American Research Group poll in Iowa showed Kucinich getting 3% of the vote, ahead of Biden and Dodd, who were at the bottom with 1% each. In the Los Angeles Times/Bloomberg Poll in Iowa two weeks ago, Kucinich and Biden were both at 2% and dodd was at 1%.

In the most recent CNN/Opinion Reseach Corporation poll, Kucinich was at 3% nationally, Biden was at 2%, and Dodd was below 1%. Another national poll, Rasmussen Reports, showed Kucinich tied with New Mexico Governor Bill Richarson in fourth place, behind Senators Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, and former Senator John Edwards. Richardson was also invited to participate in the Iowa events. Kucinich also won a post-debate poll on ABC's website after the last Iowa debate.

"We're doing better than some of the establishment candidates, and we're moving up," Kucinich said. "Instead of spending millions of dollars on high-priced consultants, and slick advertising, we have a highly motivated grassroots organization."

He also questioned the decision by the American Association of Retired Persons (AARP) Iowas Public Television to exclude him from Thursday's Democratic Presidential Forum, which will focus on the issues of health care and financial security.

"The Presidential debate on health care has been largely fake, with phony claims from candidates that they are providing 'universal health care', when, in fact, they are preserving the for-profit system of private insurance companies who make money not providing health care," Kucinich said.

"I am the only Presidential candidate to offer a true universal healthcare plan for America, HR676, Medicare For All. It is a comprehensive, not-for-profit, national health insurance plan, and everyone is covered," Kucinich said. "No premiums, no deductibles, no co-payments."

"How can AARP and the Iowa Public Television claim they are committed to education and informing the voters of Iowa on the Number One domestic issue in this campaign when they deny a voice to the only candidate who is leading the effort to bring real reform to the health care system by ending the control of for profit insurance and pharmaceutical companies? Since the AARP's own insurance sales interests would be affected by HR 676, serious qustions must be raised about their decision to deny me a place on the platform," Kucinich said.

In one highly publicized incident in July, unaware that their microphones were still on and the cameras still rolling, Clinton and Edwards whispered to each other on stage about eliminating some candidates from future debates. "It is most interesting," Kucinich noted,"that a number of post debate analyses determined that I performed better than all the other candidates ( AFL-CIO, Howard University,Logo Forum). I can well understand why the other candidates do not want competition, but the credibility of the Democratic process is at risk if sponsoring organizations join in the subversion of that process."

"You would think that the Iowa Democratic Party leaders, fighting to preserve the state's status as the first caucus state, would be a little more careful about giving other states the impression that they and they alone have the right to determine who the next President will be," Kucinich said."

Dennis, we are still voting for you and will write you in , we will never vote for Hillary, never. All people have to do is follow her money trail, and it is disgusting.

Hang in there Dennis.

WASHINGTON D.C. ANTI-WAR DEMONSTRATION 100,000 TURNOUT IF YOU BELIEVE THE MSM, MAYBE MORE

Why do I get this impression that the coverage on today's demonstration wasn't all that great? Well, maybe it's because it wasn't, at least from the MSM's coverage on the internets.

MSNBC reporter Patty Culhane stated that "...George Bush wasn't even at the White House." Okay, so BFD. But then, MSNBC cut to an interview with Stuart Rothenberg, who stated that,"...middle class America supports the President." WHERE DID HE GET THAT INFORMATION? Now, I don't buy that, you could call us middle class, most everyone I know who is against the Iraq war is middle class. And truthfully, we are seeing in the USA an assault on the so-called middle class. Everyone I know is feeling the "squeeze". And how about these polls - which class are they taken from:

Of course, forget about the Fox Poll, those people are just plain brain-dead:

Now, MSNBC is reporting that it was a "duel" between the anti-war and pro-bush demonstrators. Under the'More Top Stories' in the side bar, MSNBC states: "Pro-, and anti-war activists duel in D.C."

That ain't no duel MSNBC,that's what I would call a massacre:

Here is the CNN clip of the demonstration - do you get the sense of 100,000 people or do you feel this vid downplayed the demonstration:

TEXT


Every anti- Iraq war demonstration that we've been to in San Diego has been made up of all different types of people, from all different classes and all walks of life; unlike the anti-Vietnam war demonstrations from years back, which were made up mostly by starving students.


But since Bush's speech last week, I have been noticing the MSM press advancing a more positive approach to paint Bush as a do good guy, just trying his best. Have you noticed that too? So, I went over to check out what people are saying and what they believe about the New World Order, and it scared the crap out of me. I'm not totally convinced of the New World Order plot, and there are many variations on this theme, but I'm pretty well convinced we are looking at Fascism. Is there a difference?


Well, the way the press has been covering events this last week, it makes you wonder.

None the less folks, there is a huge date coming up - October the 27th - so hope all of you connect and make it out to the streets on this one, and how can we thank the demonstrators of D.C. today? Thanks you guys.

CLAUS VON STAUFFENBERG A MAN OF HONOR

"Germany Reverses Tom Cruise Ban"

And here is just a short bio of Claus von Stauffenberg:

FACT CHECK ON BUSH'S SPEECH AND YOU DON'T NEED THE VOTES TO END IT OBAMA DUH

Are you pulling your hair out over Bush's speech of yesterday, or have you just resigned yourself not to do or say anything while you struggle to make those mortgage payments and keep that backyard swimming pool?

Here is a fact check on Bush's speech:

From The Salon
Of Course He Lied Again - Cherry-Picking And Sugarcoating
by, Tim Grieve

TEXT


Now, Mr. Obama is just as much a liar as George Bush, we don't have the votes, he says. Infact, we are hearing that from most of the Democratic presidential hopefuls, we don't have the votes to stop the war. Bullshit.


From this mornings news:

Obama: Democrats Don't Have Iraq Votes

TEXT


Yet, apparently we don't need the votes:

Rep. Dennis Kucinich: Democratic Leadership Failing US Citizenry

TEXT


Notice as you log into MSNBC News, they have completely minimized Dennis Kucinich. They don't even list him as a Presidential hopeful, although I see they have recently added Ron Paul's name to the list. On the sidebar, they do show that Kucinich will be campaigning in Las Vegas. Wow, thanks alot MSNBC.

So, what's it going to be America? Are you going to just go along with this sham of a "democracy" so that in addition to struggling to meet your mortgage payments and keeping your backyard swimming pools, you think it's more important to shop at the Broadway and Macy's and Mervyns than to demand an end to the bullshit?

You know, Krushchev said many years ago, and I can't remember if he said whilst he was banging his shoe on the table at the UN or somewhere else, but he did say to the generation at that time,"We will bury you."

I think we've already buried ourselves.

See you guys later.

Molotov Cocktails, anyone? Here's a smashing recipe:

1 1/2 oz vodka
1 splash 151 proof rum

Pour a shot of vodka(preferably Russian) into a shot glass. Float the 151, ignite, blow out and shoot.

Ah, that hits the spot.
