Hillary Clinton and the Syrian Bloodbath

…Clinton has been much more than a bit player in the Syrian crisis. Her diplomat Ambassador Christopher Stevens in Benghazi was killed as he was running a CIA operation to ship Libyan heavy weapons to Syria. Clinton herself took the lead role in organizing the so-called “Friends of Syria” to back the CIA-led insurgency.

The U.S. policy was a massive, horrific failure.

Bernie won’t Budge on F-35 or War…

“Had I done my research, I would have discovered Sanders’ frankly hawkish positions on foreign policy. “

We have choices to make…

“Americans are sick of war. If we, the people who stand up for peace, vote for our own best interests, we could win in a landslide. 75% of the voting public are thinking third party, With offerings like Trump and Clinton, this is our time for A Green New Deal. ”

Fool me once…

“There are two ways to be fooled. One is to believe what isn’t true; the other is to refuse to believe what is true.”

Torture, Rape and Murder Continue

Dr. Jill Stein is the right choice

Do peace, justice and freedom matter?

“Those who insist on pretending we only can choose between Democrats and Republicans must learn how to think outside the corporate box. We have 36 years of evidence that unending war is not the answer. “

Bernie Sanders Populist Campaign has some missing pieces.

“Sanders’ backing of U.S. imperialism compromises his support for workers’ rights.”

The Cons on both sides of the corporate aisle are not on your side.

“A vote for Clinton is a vote for austerity, for imperialism, and for the augmented perpetual war regime established under her tenure as Secretary of State.”

Supporting Sanders sends the wrong message

“In 2016, we need to make sure there is a ballot line for any independent left or socialist candidate to contest the corporate party lackeys running for office.”

The right-wing record of Bernie Sanders

Last fall, when members of Code Pink and Occupy confronted him about his failure to oppose Israel’s attack on the Gaza civilian population, Bernie took an evasive liberal position, criticizing the Palestinians who were resisting as much or more than the Zionists. He then called the police on us.

We can vote values instead of fear…

“power concedes nothing without a demand” That demand needs happen in streets, communities, schools and in the voting booth.”

“Ignorance and prejudice are the handmaidens of propaganda. Our mission, therefore, is to confront ignorance with knowledge, bigotry with tolerance, and isolation with the outstretched hand of generosity. Racism can, will, and must be defeated.” ― Kofi Annan

Regime Change for the corporate bottom line is a bad idea

The problem in Syria is the United States bombing a variety of targets, creating more enemies and making life more … More

And it is about time.
