We were all brought up to believe that there are 'good' wars and 'bad' wars. Of course, the 'bad' wars we were not supposed to acknowledge until many years after the fact. Those of us who have evolved since childhood realize that there are no 'good' wars. Those of us who haven't are still taken in by the government propaganda that tells us that the war on Ukraine is a 'good' war because it is a means to 'defeat' Russia and protect the 'good guys' , whatever that means. It's just the same technique used to make people believe in masking, 'social' distancing, toxic injections, etc. that has worked so well.
Cindy, we have our own personal protests and demonstrations of truth EVERY DAY, and never needed those who are just following whichever way the government wind blows. I'M WITH YA !
The only “just wars” fought on “American soil” were those by the indigenous who sought to defend their lives against the colonial invaders. And perhaps the Civil War to end chattel slavery .
''The U.S. has reported over 3,500 deaths from gun violence since the start of 2023, with more than 50 mass shootings recorded'' (according to Gun Violence Archive).
This is the violent RAGE within the U.S. Imperial culture of war (our real exceptionalism).
I believe Jackson's maga commie "stunt" was a desperate effort to get the right and left to organize together. Cringy but mostly good hearted. Is he the one accused of perversion to/with minors?
Can you explain who Taylor Caleb/Calliff? or whoever you were talking about that changes your outlook on the promotion of the event? I either don't know about him/her or I mis understood the name.
I must be naïve but this is the first I've heard of the Peace Industrial Complex. I understand Medea B and code pink are who you may be talking about. Are they the ones still backing Bernie? Maybe has to do with local or national DSA funding or am I way off?
Yeah Caleb sought out vulnerable young people (16-21) to join his cult. Then, some of the women who were in horrible positions mentally and financially; he hired to spank him and do other sexual things.
I do not know why they are, as the group is totally diverse, all the super wokesters bailed, showed their cowardice. who do you know who is one of the speakers? I do not know where to start, but i have pushed a few things about you over last few days since Medea lost her courage.
I know many of the speakers, but I don't see much diversity.
Cynthia McKinney is the best one, then Ron Paul. Cynthia is doing her speech remotely.
Ann Wright is a good person and a good friend of mine. Medea said she had to cancel because her group urged her to, because of Scott Ritter being included. Anyway---you're good to try and repair it. Have a good day.
I just saw on Twitter that codepink had encouraged her to pull out of it. I don't know about the timeline, but it really doesn't matter. I think we need to go forward and we all need to do all we can do to try and cushion our loved ones and communities from the collapse of society.
Yes, this house of cards is going to fall apart. So hard to predict how, when, and where. Garland Nixon had a good rant yesterday. The psychopaths got to the top. Let us pray Russia and BRICS can get a grip. I cry every day. I have lost friends over this. I wish I did not have to know these things. They have been gutting communities for decades. This feels like the last theft from our people.
My reading of the Ritter story is that no minor was ever involved, it was one of those entrapment sting operations made popular by that TV show, TO CATCH A PREDATOR. Also, the social board did not accept anyone under age of 18.
Not to excuse him completely, but when there is no victim, it is a FBI entrapment, and the social board bans underage people, it does look sketchy. Nonetheless, the PRO proxy war factions have exploited it. Medea did specifically say the LGBTQ contingency, who have for 10 years been poisoning every organization I used to know and respect -- deplatforming many 1000s, cancel culture, censorship, most are RussiaGate cult members too.
Scott Ritter THOUGHT he was exposing himself to a 15 year old girl. How can a person be entrapped if he doesn't want to masturbate to his laptop screen? I am glad he was caught and went to prison. That's NEVER CORRECT...never okay. I don't care what anybody says. Scott Ritter has continually declared that he is not "antiwar" and he was hyper-critical of me years ago because I wouldn't follow the precepts of Sun Tzu in my activism. I don't like him and it's okay that I don't like him. I don't like pedos whether they are presidents of the USA or Scott Ritter. PERIOD. Sorry, I didn't read Medea's statement. Trans activists have deplatformed me before and they tried to ruin one of my actions in 2018 because we wouldn't put out a statement that read "Trans men are women." Sigh. It's also okay if Codepink doesn't want to be involved. It's their choice. And I have a lot of differences with codepink and Medea.
My question for this action will always be: Why are they erasing me, and why are the organizers ghosting us at March on the Pentagon. Nick Brana and McCardle are incorporating RAGE AGAINST THE WAR MACHINE. I don't get it, seems grifty.
In 2014 i went to big event in SF. Goff, Hedges, Shiva, Derrick Jensen, you name it. WOW. was hell gettting there and back, and my driver was a jerk, but well work it.
but a group of transactivists stormed the stage with Derrick arrived. also, remember the fires of Berkeley when Milo came to speak? Most were transactivists under guise of Antifa.
Well, he is not going to rage, he announced it about 10-14 days ago. I know this is a confusing topic, I make no excuses for him. I do have a deep contempt for pedophiles. But, there was no minor involved. Medea's statement included other factors.
"Ritter, an outspoken critic of the war in Iraq, had a sexually graphic online chat in 2009 with an undercover police officer posing as a 15-year-old girl named Emily."
I used to do Yahoo social boards long ago, just the financial and activist ones. you had to be 18 years or older for all or many of them. even in financial board the foulest sickest porn would show up and you could do little about it. reporting it went unnoticed. I make no excuses, he claimed he thought it was play acting, and at that time in his life he was completely demoralized and beat down. Perhaps it reminds me of some stupid reckless shit i did in 1995+ after i was arsoned 2x and set on fire the first time while I slept, after I published my activist handbook. At the time, 1992, it was 2 wks before Clinton was sworn in and Christic and Meikeljohn, who we had been in contact with, had their offices raided, and Christic had to flee DC and disband. I put nothing past the Bush Dynasty and intelligence ops. Yes, no doubt Scott had a inexcusable moment, but it was not a minor, bottom line.
I have been following almost a decade what has happened to you with the rise of woke and trans-fascism.
please, go to DC. read Hedges latest piece. YOu are not the only one to get deplatformed, censored, and marginalized all these years, you are in good company! Contact one of the many that Hedges mentions here. GO. Medea and VFP are cowards.
there is another protest... oh, no that was cancelled, the place it was supposed to be got very paranoid about the liabbility. the NO TO NATO protest, the next week. We do not have much shots here, do we? Some one suggested the MENNONITES or the QUAKERS, if they had a large space? I give up. There has not been a real peace movement since Nam, even though i got arrested many times up to 1996, then the anarchists and pre wokesters continued to alienate, as more people gave their power to the state and sold out.
Cindy. I am wondering if your and Dakotah's not being asked to participate/speak on the 19th withn the precincts of the "Capitol of Capital" is because organizers fear that somebody might wander too far afield and possibly make connections between COVID repression and the prerogative of the ruling classes to wage endless "cold and hot" wars abroad.
Honestly, most of the people on the bill are covid skeptics, like Ron Paul and Cynthia McKinney---a libertarian group is one of the organizers, I doubt it's covid. Probably a lot of disrespect coupled with guilt for stealing our idea without giving us even a little head's up. I don't really care. I'm sadly used to being betrayed and fucked over.
The important thing, is this rally is not about pharma and covid, it is not about any other issues, it is about war profiteering and never ending wars.
It is not about covid, it is about the war. no doubt it is easy split 50/50 on the covid issues, many more gray areas. Did you see the Gray Zone RANT AGAINST THE WAR MACHINE discussing these issues? Max admits that Hedges was in total disagreement with his takes, but this protest is about something much BIGGER and critical, the rest can be sorted out later, time to set these other matters aside.
We were all brought up to believe that there are 'good' wars and 'bad' wars. Of course, the 'bad' wars we were not supposed to acknowledge until many years after the fact.

Many thanks and much gratitude
Forward!
Great show! Very much appreciate the many small details you manage to insert into your discussions.
We thank you!
End all the wars is right!
The only “just wars” fought on “American soil” were those by the indigenous who sought to defend their lives against the colonial invaders. And perhaps the Civil War to end chattel slavery .
"people of the United States are so...." I'd say provincial, gullible, anti-intellectual......

Thanks.
No, no, no Jackson Hinkle was NOT the person that was in prison for pedphilia!
Caleb Maupin---I am going to bring Dakotah in to tell what he did.
Thanks
Yeah Caleb sought out vulnerable young people (16-21) to join his cult. Then, some of the women who were in horrible positions mentally and financially; he hired to spank him and do other sexual things.
He might be termed the Jeffrey Epstein of "MAGA Communism"?
Someone ought to spank his ass right out of Dodge...
Got it. Thanks.
Just go, get a ride with whoever you can.
Where? To DC. You don’t seem to realize that I am not welcome. Why are you not asking the organizers why they are erasing and ignoring me?!
I do not know why they are, as the group is totally diverse, all the super wokesters bailed, showed their cowardice. who do you know who is one of the speakers? I do not know where to start, but i have pushed a few things about you over last few days since Medea lost her courage.

Ritter cancelled before Medea presented her statement.
I just saw on Twitter that codepink had encouraged her to pull out of it. I don't know about the timeline, but it really doesn't matter. I think we need to go forward and we all need to do all we can do to try and cushion our loved ones and communities from the collapse of society.

Your guess is as good as ours
Yet my paranoia is more highly developed. ;-)
I think I know what shirt you're wearing. I may have worn the same one yesterday. ;P
EXCELLENT DISCUSSION!
