What Will It Take to Defeat the War?

On June 28-29, an “Open National Antiwar Conference” was held in Cleveland, called by a newly minted National Assembly to End the Iraq War and Occupation. Over objections from the conference organizers, centrally Socialist Action, the assembly voted to change the name to include reference to the war on Afghanistan, and to emphasize the connection with U.S. backing for the Zionist occupation of Palestine. (The sponsors of the confab were so right-wing that they feared losing “unity” with Democratic Party supporters of Israel and the Afghanistan war!) What did not change at all was the popular-front character of the new outfit, tying it to the bourgeois parties despite the fig leaf of electoral “independence.” Making this utterly clear, it was decided not to call a national antiwar mobilization prior to the November elections explicitly in order to court those forces who wish to aid the Democrats (and therefore want to avoid making problems for the presumptive Democratic nominee, Barack Obama). Here is the leaflet issued by the Internationalist Group at the conference.

A 21st-century warning from a 13th-century poet

Submitted by ben on July 16, 2008 - 1:28pm.

Sa'di of Shiraz, a 13th-century Iranian poet, was a man for all seasons. Distinct among his peers for a rare poetic talent and a sharp humor, he was a traveler, teacher and master ghazal writer all in one. But, above all, he loved to tease and to question. In a most serious love poem, he warned the beloved: "I was ruined by your love. I will not go to others to get well." And lest the beloved get all the credit for uniqueness, he added: "Broken gold vessels cannot be repaired with glue."

"The Violent Radicalization and Homegrown Terrorism Prevention Act." Below are “Adolf Hitler’s fascist laws:

by, Dan Scott

It is absolutely striking how language in pending S.1959, "The Violent Radicalization and Homegrown Terrorism Prevention Act" appears to mirror some of Hitler’s Discriminatory Laws the Fuhrer signed in 1933.

Below this article are “Adolf Hitler’s fascist laws: To compare any similarity of language found in “Hitler’s Laws” with U.S. Senate bill S.1959, you may access:

THE FISA AMENDMENTS ACT OF 2008

More frequently U.S. Senators can be seen on Television reading sections of HR 6304 that they claim will protect lawful persons in the U.S. from being targeted by government wiretaps. Not mentioned by the Senators, is that THE FISA AMENDMENTS ACT OF 2008 includes a low level of “probable cause” that will permit Government to wiretap U.S. phone calls, faxes and emails.

The U.S. House of Representatives on June 20th, 2008 sent to the U.S. Senate, THE FISA AMENDMENTS ACT OF 2008, HR 6304.

H.R. 6304 EH may be found at:
http://thomas.loc.gov/

As most of us know, several Telecoms have gotten caught helping U.S. Spy Agencies—illegally wiretap millions of U.S. and International phone calls, faxes and emails.

Will U.S. Government’s illegal Spy-Wiretaps be made available to U.S. and International Criminal & Civil Courts after HR 6304 is Passed?

(Call it a character portrait.)

As the presidential race deteriorates into a mudslide, there is an early sense of desperation among conservatives. With so many disaffected factions (Seniors here, Evangelicals there, Fiscals scattered everywhere), the GOP doesn’t exactly have a consensus candidate. In the meantime, the battling Democrats have congealed much faster and with less rancor than anyone anticipated.

Advice to the Unemployed

Don't be a dog and pony show to the corporatists.

Counter-advice to the corporatist advice.

I've seen an increasing number of articles in major newspapers, as of late, about searching for jobs, the mistakes you can make in a job search, and advice about why you should not do anything that might hurt your ability to find a job, such as writing about your beliefs online or burning bridges. Looking at those lists, I can say that I've done quite a few things that they advise against and I do believe it has hurt me from time to time when job hunting. Nevertheless, I think the advice much of the advice is largely propaganda designed to assert the authority of the employer class.

John McCain: But just who could he "Surrender" to in Iraq?

Submitted by Anonymous on May 28, 2008 - 11:34pm.

This is just another of McCain's cheap,empty,rabble rousing sucker punches!

John McCain has once more shown his dishonesty and untrustworthiness by loudly proclaiming that as president he "would not surrender in Iraq!" But just who could John McCain or the American Govt. "surrender" to in Iraq especially seeing that the US Military is controlling the Iraqi Govt and most of that country.
