Jeremy Scahill at Winter Soldier: "Don't drink the kool-aid of Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton."

You can access the archives from today here: http://www.kpfa.org/ and Here: http://www.ivaw.org

What? Did you all forget there was a war going on... I mean, two wars going on?



Watch the testimony here: http://ivaw.org/ws_video.html

LIVE FROM DETROIT! This is absolutely riveting and powerful!

Watch and be informed and get ready for the (GE) General Election in November!


What are each candidate's plans of getting us out of Iraq ASAP?

How long? When? Will they oust the mercenaries?

Mercenary Song (Black Water)
http://www.cowboylyrics.com/lyrics/earle-steve/mercenary-song-2181.html

Me and Bill there we both come from Georgia
Met Hank out in New Mexico
We're bound for Duranqo to join Pancho Villa
We hear that he's payin' in gold
I guess a man's got to do what he's best at
Ain't found nothin' better so far
Been called mercenaries and men with no country
Just soldiers in search of a war


CHORUS
And we're bound for the border
We're soldiers of fortune
And we'll fight for no country but we'll die for good pay
Under the flag of of the greenback dollar
Or the peso down Mexico way


When this war is over might go back to Georgia
And settle down quiet some where
I'll most likely pack up and head south for Chile
Heard tell there's some trouble down there

1. Don't drink no kind of kool-aid ever. Stay Free.
Because that's the only way the Truth can ever come to you. Truth is Life.

Thanks for the links.

8. Thanks much!
I've been getting kind of tired of the fighting going on here. I don't go into those kinds of threads much, but it just seemed no one could talk about anything else. Seems a little better now.

Also, my mother-in-law was dying.

Her name was Dorothy.

I was the only one she had to look after her these last 5 years. She was 89 years old. Yes, there is her son, my husband, and her only child, but he was hiding the whole time, especially this last couple of months.

I learned a lot about getting old.

:hug:s X 2

10. I feel for you, patrice. Been there and done that myself with
both of my parents. It's a hard row to hoe.

3. There's hope for us yet. Thanks.
I've been saying the same thing now for a while. I'm either told I'm a racist, an idiot, or pat on the back by Republicans who are drowning in their own kool-aid. The truth and freedom of thought (and throw in a little discernment) is this country's only hope.
