Little Known Military Thug Squad
Little Known Military Thug Squad
“A little known Military Thug Squad is still brutalizing prisoners at Gitmo under Obama” -Jeremy Scahill

Jeremy Scahill reports the Obama administration is continuing to use a notorious military police unit at Guantanamo that regularly brutalizes unarmed prisoners, including gang-beating them, breaking their bones, gouging their eyes and dousing them with chemicals. This force, officially known as the Immediate Reaction Force, has been labeled the “Extreme Repression Force” by Guantanamo prisoners and human rights lawyers.

The American people have to wake up to the reality of the corruption that pervades our government. U.S. citizens will eventually realize that being American doesn't mean having blind faith in anything, be it religion, unregulated markets, or an increasing militaristic authoritarian corporate rule. It is our responsibility to ensure that our institutions, our government and businesses, do not violate the civil liberties of anyone anywhere. Every country that has tortured outside their boarders, eventually tortures within their boarders. Businesses that abuse workers outside their country's boarders, always lead the way to further abuse and lowering working conditions within their own country's boarders. "What goes around, comes around," is not just a saying but, in this case, a lesson from history. If we don't want to do what's right simply because it's right, we should at least do it because it's smart.

We must push to prosecute war crimes.

Winter Soldier on the Hill:
War Veterans Testify Before Congress
War veterans from Iraq and Afghanistan went to Capitol Hill last year to testify before Congress to give an eyewitness account of the horrors of war. “Winter Soldier on the Hill” was similar to the Winter Soldier hearings in March of 2008, when more than 200 service members gathered for four days in Silver Spring, Maryland to give their eyewitness accounts of the injustices occurring in Iraq and Afghanistan (and Detroit 1971 VVAW's testimonies of the atrocities of Vietnam War) was designed to drive home the human cost of war and occupation. “Winter Soldier on the Hill” in 2008 testified to the very people in charge of doing something about it.

Winter Soldier on the Hill

“Winter Soldier on the Hill”

With a new administration in power, after we voted for change, concerning war policies, the question is... Did we get what we voted for? Of course, Barack Obama is different from Bush, but is the difference enough concerning the wars in Irag and Afghanistan. Is simply moving the war from one to the other what we voted for? When 25% of the homeless are war veterans, and still with 18 U.S. veterans a day committing suicide, along with the continuation of war crimes, we can't just look away and simply fall inline with our government's war policies.

We must always question and reject destructive policies, and we must recognize the most effect propaganda slogan of all time, "SUPPORT THE TROOPS" because it is used for any war, at anytime, for any reason. It is effective because it turns our attention away from the real questions of whether or not we support our government's policy of war. To say that someone doesn't care about the soldiers because they want to end a war is completely absurd. And, to think that our government only goes to war for just reasons is naive and stems from a selfish perception and desire to want to believe that our own country could never get that bad. But of course, the peace movement is not that naive, but we must engage ourselves in conversation with those who are, without being condescending. They will eventually realize that being American doesn't mean having blind faith in anything, be it religion, unregulated markets, or the increasing militaristic authoritarian corporate rule.

Earth Day:
April 22nd
( Spring in the Northern Hemisphere

/ Autumn in the Southern Hemisphere ),

a day of awareness, appreciation, and activism for the Earth's environment. Earth day was founded by U.S. Senator Gaylord Nelson in 1970, and is now recognized in many countries around the world.

March Equinox ( Spring Equinox Northern Hemisphere )
The United Nations celebrates an Earth Day each year on the March Equinox (often March 20th), a tradition which was founded by peace activist John McConnell in 1969.

Earth Day transcends all national borders to celebrate our home, our planet, and life itself, to reflect on our health and ability to live in harmony with our environment, ourselves, and to rethink our approach to how we can move forward in achieving a less destructive, more harmonious future.

http://storyofstuff.com
From extraction through sale, use and disposal, all the stuff in our lives affects communities at home and abroad, yet most of this is hidden from view. The Story of Stuff is a 20-minute, fast-paced, fact-filled look at the underside of production and consumption patterns. The Story of Stuff exposes connections between environmental and social issues, and calls us to create a more sustainable and just world.

We have bought into a system, in which buying stuff is our ultimate purpose. We have to change this system. ...first through awareness... then ultimately, to sustainability. Buying less of what we don't need is always important, but the ultimate goal is sustainability. And this goal, we must demand. ...renewable energy, sustainability of products and production - [ Production without Destruction. ]

● The Impeachment of Dick Cheney

[SITE MENU] [BLOG HOME]

The evidence is clear that Dick Cheney has abused the power of his position in the office of US Vice President. He brought us into an unnecessary and illegal war, and violated the civil liberties of all American citizens and the privacy of 100's of thousands.
These charges are too serious to ignore.
It is the constitutional duty of Congress to hold impeachment hearings.

Take a look at this website. Some people in congress are trying to get the impeachment hearings going. You can send an email to support them.

Founder of Iraq Oil Workers Union Rejects U.S.-Backed Oil Law as "Robbery" As the Iraqi cabinet approves part of a controversial oil law, we speak with Faleh Abood Umara, the general secretary of the Federation of Oil Unions and a founding member of the oil workers union in Iraq. He calls on Iraqi lawmakers to reject the legislation. We also speak with Hashmeya Muhsin Hussein, president of the Electrical Utility Workers Union and the first woman to head a national union in Iraq. [includes rush transcript]

How long are we going to allow Washington D.C. to carry out war crimes (in our name) around the world?
