WILL THE REVOLUTION BE TELEVISED THIS TIME?
Don't get me wrong, I'm very proud of this happening, finally...
But there needs to be apropriate, aggressive distribution of the message
or it will go the way Dennis Kucinich did

as they have not been and are used to justify the illegal invasions and criminal occupations of Afghanistan and Iraq.

This story continues to push the government myth by calling them "attacks". Even the mainstream media has been forced to acknowledge that the Kean/Hamilton/Zelikow commission was totally compromised and thus, its findings are invalid.

Start by going to patriotsquestion911.com, then to 911truth.org, stj911.org and ae911truth.org.

I would also recommend getting Dr. David Ray Griffin's new book 9/11 Contradictions: An Open Letter to Congress and the Press, reading it and passing it on.

These Winter Soldier hearings are very important as they expose some of the truths about what our American brothers and sisters are doing in our names to our Iraqi brothers and sisters.

The truth shall set us free. Love is the only way forward.

A Google search for U.S. media coverage of this event reveals very little - so no we are seeing a general corporate media blackout on protests against the war - but plenty of coverage of McCain's "statesmanship" visit to Iraq, with Lieberman in tow.

Stars and Stripes covered the story, but they focused on the "pro-war veterans," i.e. the Republican front group set up by Campaign Solutions that goes by the name "Vets for Freedom". A few newspapers, such as the Boston Globe, are following the story.

This is the Republican smear campaign in full effect -we even have the 911truthiness astroturfers coming out to do their part. Forget about the war! Bombs in the WTC! Republican PR operatives, one and all.

What's remarkable is who isn't touching it: the liberal NPR and the BBC won't cover it, nor will any of the major networks: ABC, CBS, FOX, CNN, NBC - zero coverage. There's no coverage of anti-war protests in Los Angeles or England, either. Not even the main wire services are reporting on it: UPI, AP and Reuters as well as AFP have no coverage. The Washington Post covered it, and MSNBC picked it up for their online edition (with no links to their front page, however).

This is because the testimonial of veterans about the actual situation in Iraq and the disaster wrought by Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld and now Petraeus is extremely damaging to those who want to keep the occupation going indefinitely.

The U.S. could pull out right now and all troops could be gone within three months, perhaps six. A United Nations peacekeeping force, brought in to replace U.S. troops, could oversee the necessary new elections needed to replace the failed Maliki government. They would, of course, have the right to nationalize their own oil supplies - and they should also have access to their oil sales money, as well as to reparations from the U.S. for waging an illegal war of aggression based on false pretenses that devastated their country.

All the reasons for the war put forth by BushCo and trumpeted by the U.S. corporate press turned out to be lies: no link between Saddam and Al Qaeda or 9/11, no nuclear-chemical-biological warfare systems or ballistic missiles, and no more threat from Saddam than from, say, the Burmese generals (who are equally nasty). It was all based on lies - and now it's all being whitewashed by a dishonest, lying corporate propaganda machine.

Wow that video is powerful.

Everyone should check out THE REAL NEWS http://www.therealnews.com

They have a bunch of great videos on this, and this is a project that needs support. I just signed up to be a member. http://www.therealnews.com

I'd say Alternet and TheRealNews are two of the most innovative and important projects one can support right now. Lets stop worrying about the election so much, and think long term.
